BlueRayDick I heard you like betting... Mind betting with me that Labour Party won't get more than 20k votes max next year with Peter Obi on the ballot ? 80$

I will rather wager Newcastle to finish top 4 next season if I feel like throwing some cash into an unlikely event.

Itsrm:
No, Wike will win the primary. No doubt about that

The chances of him winning the general election will go from 40% to zero if APC somehow manage to field Jonathan

That's my point

Noted!

DissTroy:
Tinubu's main enemies are within the South West. I can name 6 of his enemies who are heavyweights.

Even Buhari campaigned in the South South and South East - areas Tinubu hasn't visited because he's hated there and doesn't even have billboards up.

Osinbajo, on the other hand, has visited these areas and has billboards up, along with some other APC aspirants who aren't from these areas.

Show me one Tinubu campaign organisation in the South South and South East. Just one. Osinbajo has several of such.


Wike and Udom have enough money to match any candidate per se. Not their monies per se, but their states' monies.
Heck! Do you know how much Rivers and Akwa Ibom State earn from allocation and IGR?
Not even up to 30 per cent of the IGRs are documented, and the rest are unaccounted for.
Do you know how much one LGA in these states earn monthly from the FAAC, state allocation and oil-producing communities earnings?

These two have funded the PDP without fail since 2015, and funded PDP elections in various states too.

How much is Atiku worth? Just 2 days ago,the EFCC declared Rivers State accountant general wanted for 435 billion fraud. Do you know how much Wike has access to?
If you have been to Rivers State, you'd know many of the supposed illegal refineries aren't rudimentary, and are owned by people in power - people in the RVSG.

Atiku is trying by all means to placate Wike but Wike knows he (Wike) has the money and the structure to go head-on against Atiku. Atiku knows this, offered Wike a V.P. slot in January this year but Wike turned it down.

Choi! See question o

Do u know as a Vice President Atiku was investigated for diverting $100m public funds? That is as far back as 2007 when Wike was still a local government chairman in Rivers state o.

Do u know Atiku was in charge of National Privatization council that was in charge of selling federal government properties that were considered moribund between 1999- 2007 ? We are talking of a period dollar wasn’t even exchanging for up to 150 naira per dollar.

Atiku enriched himself so much that When obj found out it left him butt-hurt and had to described him the most hurtful words he can come up with ( see attached for extract from
ink’s book ) . Atiku as VP dey collect kickbacks in dollars on a steady.

The fact that Atiku stole in dollars years ago and plough those monies into businesses both home and abroad trumps whatever u believe Wike has at his disposal now. Atiku na senior man for stealing/diverting public funds o.

Aswear! The pako in each local government in Lagos go pass 5

Itsrm:
Calm down

If APC fields Jonathan for instance, Wike himself knows he has to step down for Atiku or the election will lost before it even starts.

My guy , I see say u don dey believe in Atiku dollars small small

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I no know oh. Everything na speculation

But this man can't be stupid to pay and get humiliated.

Make we dey watch sha. Next week go clear the air[/color]

Bros it is rumored that Mamman Daura alone na cabal wey everybody dey use plural form to describe. It is rumored in high places that he brought the late Abba Kyari to Chaprone Bubu. He is runored to be one of the major decision makers in Buhari’s government. They words from his mouth goes straight to Buhari’s ears .

The fact that Buhari is the party leader and Mamman Daura is said to be one of the people he consults when he takes decisions makes the rumor of Buhari endorsing Jonathan on Daura’s recommendation not so hard to believe . Except Buhari suddenly grows a mind of his own sha .

And yes, I don’t think Jonathan is stupid enough to go through all these struggles to get humiliated at a primary he’s never going to win. If Jonathan comes out publicly to confirm he’s going to participate in the primary before June 6 , just know that he’s got Daura’s and by extension bubu’s endorsement as the consensus candidate. The fact that they said Jonathan had registered as APC member in his ward is looking like all this is well planned.

Spy360:
I respect that it's your opinion but you're not putting things into context. It's like asking having Tavares on LB and Pepe on RW. If I have Saka, why would I prefer Pepe on RW? We were lucky to have Elneny peak at the right time and so would prefer him to Lokonga in CM.

But in terms of quality of play and team balance, Lokonga made more contributions than Tavares. The LB only played more often because other options like playing Xhaka or Tomi will after the team structure but Arteta never trusted that guy. He was full of errors- passing, tackling, composure, positioning nnah how Una nor see all these things?

You know what? LB us one position Arteta will definitely change this season and don't be surprised if Tavares is sold off or loaned away.

When I was saying since February that Nketiah was better than Lacazette in terms of team needs and balance, you guys laughed me off. That's until it became glaring. This is the same thing that will happen.

You have not said anything . Did Lokonga play well when he was given the chance to play CM ? No ! The coach had to go back to a forgotten Elneny to get us finish within Europa league spot, it could’ve been worse.

Tavares on the other hand had some good spells and the bad ones as well; he even scored a goal in the process . This clear as day.

You are only letting ur personal preference for Lokonga becloud ur sense of judgement in this case. We are talking of why happened this past season, but somehow u are premising ur argument on what Lokonga might become and then u will turn back and say “ I told u so”

Spy360 Abeg rest ! Any arsenal fan who watched arsenal matches this season will tell u they prefer Tavares starting in LB to Lokonga starting in CM. Tavares May not be the ideal product we are looking for just yet, but he still had more impact than Lokonga this season.

Lokonga as of today has not done anything to endear any fan to him. His time will surely come, but for now he should sit this one out. I know u have a personal preference for him; just like u had preference for Giroud but he still has to prove himself on the pitch for some of us to even see the market he dey sell.

Tavares played and made some errors by so did he put in some good performances too.

I think I know the place . The place go link Akowonjo Abi ?

Expert17:

You know this guy? Adebayo Adeleke.

Playing for Hapoel Jerusalem.

Pako don produce stars ohh

Where is Pako?

TrebleChamp:
Election that APC has rigged already, whoever APC present as candidate will be President. Atiku or any other candidate will head to court as always, but nothing would happen afterwards. Reason why i don't want Tinubu to get the ticket, Osinbajo or Amaechi is a better option biko...

A lot of things can happen between now and next year, don’t be so sure . In 2014 nobody thought for real Buhari would be sworn in on 29th May 2015.

The 7 defecting PDP governors; Saraki Amaechi and co happened and some other political stuff that tilt the scale in Bubu’s side. Just wait till next year before u start placing bet on who will win and who won’t . Make money no go gum for board

larride:
The plain one is he gave himself control of all collecting port revenue for the country through intels. That agreement is insane.

Intels has been collecting revenue on behalf of NPA for 17yrs.

There were even rumors Atiku sold his shares in intels for over $200m even though we know it might actually be a front so nobody will question where he got money he’s spending like this.

He’s always been like that from his days in the customs. Atiku na level man.

My old man used to be a customs agent , he had encounters with him in the 80’s. He said Atiku no dey play with all him collectibles, he said if e reach level wey he go follow u speak Yoruba he go follow u yearn o.

Ibime:
But Atiku money no dey finish?

That Baba must have spent $100m easily last election and probably $20m on APC in 2015

And Buhari has been blocking his businesses since 2019, and he still get money like this.

Make we check well, Atiku fit done do some Abacha level looting as VP and Governor of Gongola, plus in Customs.

It was rumored that with the aid of Funsho Kupolokun as the head of NNPC hat year dem , Atiku and some of his friends bought oil wells at knockdown rates . Being a corrupt retired top dog in customs, Atiku did not rest on his laurels he made money in dollars anywhere he found himself .

The man money no dey finish

Ibime:
Hahahaha. $30k is not out the question like I said.

How I wish there was radio commentary on this. Dey update us dey go abeg

What is this ?

larride:
Wike go soon tire. Atiku money long.

Except Wike no wan retire well chop him loot in peace , na only then will he continue with the show of dollars with a 4cking money man like Atiku.

donstan18:
Peter Obi ran for his life joor

Man wey sabi

larride:
Hearing Atiku plan is $25k per delegate.

Omo this man money long.

Shebi I dey talk am , dem say Wike go match am dollar for dollar.

After swearing over his dead body will he join APC , he don see say him oga Jona wan walk on water ; he wan hold the helm of his garment

donstan18:
While I get your point, Mane na still mpa. Confirm senior man for that Liverpool.

He fit senior Klopp sef.

But honestly I never see wetin go make me believe age of any African footballer born and bred in Africa before God answer him prayer go Europe .

I get a lot of senior men that year wey go hustle for streets to go on trial in back water leagues like Greece, Israel , Norway etc . As in men wey don dey already turn breadwinner for their family o. Na when dem wan travel dem dey decide age to choose to process their passport .

The few successful ones will claim the age on their passport which is usually between 17 -19 years of age. No those men when shine for their new clubs Nigeria go invite to represent us for u-20 tournament and commentator go dey talk “ The Nigerian Youngster “

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That's the Oba of Oniru naa

I think. Lawal something [/color]

If I play u tape of how the Oniru became king just because Tinubu wanted him declared king, u go know say me saying Tinubu is nepotistic is actually a fact.

The current king was not even in the contest before Tinubu happened . ( I have a friend who is a prince and actually from the arm of the family that produced the king. This place na public forum and person no need to spill too much beans ) The CSO to Aregbeshola had gotten the nod of the family to become king elect till Tinubu happened and all members of the family had to make u-turn.

Some people call it rewarding people close to u, but na nepotism be the English word for it.

That is why to people like us think it’s Kinda poetic justice that this same Tinubu is having his life long ambition being threatened by consensus candidature

kingBolton:
Someone actually believes it's the government that is causing all the mayhem in the south east despite all the evidence of Kanu and Ekpa's radio broadcast.
Later now, we you will be mocking the northerners of being brainless.

U no see say I no respond to am. A full grown man with education reasoning like that . Now imagine how the arms bearing illiterate amongst them will reason

ShadowWalker00:
Those people shouting they are Buhari anointed candidate just like to deceive themselves .

See I am even saying it that Buhari himself cannot impose who will be candidate if not Tinubu will disgrace him .

Nah Tinubu get Apc but I understand that we like to deceive ourselves.

For Pdp the presidency is going to ObiAkpor, Wiiiikke .

Tinubu vs Wike 2023.

Well, time will tell.

lol . So many delusions in one post

andrewbaba44:
I guess he is currently playing for Kano pillars ?

No he plays in the sudanese league presently, He left pillars in 2016

I will never take the age of any African player born and bred in Africa seroius.

U see this bros in the picture below, I'm not exxagerating, he should be above 40 by now. I call him bros because I know him personally, na our real senior bros. He don dey play for Pepsi Football academy when I still dey primary school. At that time he was like a mercenary for teams when they play local competition in the area.

As I was reading posts about African players' age up there, I just say make I check the bros wiki page and I see say na 1992 bros claim as year of birth . His youngest brother that dare not look him in the eye and call him name sef is above 30 years of age.

I'm only happy for the bros cos he really hustled. Today he has built a befitting house for his parents, bought an SUV for them and his family members are not doing bad courtesy of his good fortune.

ribbit:
yeah obi is responsible.

I don't stan Obi. I can't verify most of the things his supporters claim he is.

You are the one who stans Bobo Chicago.

popizaino:
So in other word,your candidate PYO right?

I don't have a candidate yet, until the primaries are done with we know the party flag bearers.

ribbit:
you are just rambling now without making any tangible point again.

I already told you. Lagos under the leadership of tinubu and his appontees is the 5th largest economy in Africa it was 3rd until covid 19 and global recession.
under his leadership Lagos became one of the Most SECURED metropolitan of the same or close magnitude in the world from the criminal ridden hell hole it used to be.
No state in Nigeria can match Lagos in whatever index you
want to use. Be it infrastructure or human capital development.
You failed to dispute these points.

Two major things currently affecting Nigerians are;
1, Bad economy.
2, Terrible security.

We have someone in tinubu who has experience in fixing these things in a similar but smaller settings close to Nigeria.
Why you looking for a Saint with almost zero track record.

The same delusion about Tinubu being responsible for Lagos' prosperity. Lagos that has been propsering even when Tinubu was still a fresher in Chicago State University

I still demystified the 38% IGR that is always being celebrated few day ago. Like I said, one day when I get enough time we will unpack these things.

donjazet:
All those things he said will sound credible if tinubu has already not been tested at the national level. He's making it sound as if tinubu is an opposition, But with the number of his boys there, one can't make that argument.

Whatever vision tinubu had for this country could have been actualized since he's led by proxy. Tinubu is not detached from this government.
He's a part and parcel of it.

U need to watch some of his 2014 videos at political rallies, jumping here and there talking about the wonders Buhari will perform. Most times Buhari doesn't even speak for more than a minute or two, but Tinubu will go on and on flexing his oratory skills dishing out promises after promises.

Buhari got there and became a total failure. Guess what! For 7 years now Tinubu did not openly admit the failure of Buhari's government , neither did he condemn his incompetence. Instead, Tinubu heaped praises on Buhari and described him in glowing words anytime the chance presents itself. Below is what Tinubu had to say about Buhari on his 79th Birthday:

[b]“Your legacy as a great reformer and democrat will live long into the future.

”You are a man of high intellect and exceptional character,”


“Your tenure in office has coincided with some of the most difficult and challenging times this country and, indeed, the entire global community has faced.

“Economic crises, global pandemics, insecurity and criminality have all played a role in making the past few years difficult for the people of our great country.

“Yet, despite it all, you continue, calmly and with uncommon dignity, to steer the ship of Nigeria through the most turbulent of waters.

“I, therefore, wish to appreciate the unseen and underappreciated work that you have done and continue to do to guide Nigeria ever nearer to its manifest destiny,”

“Unheralded reforms and measures taken by your administration are also taking effect to bring greater transparency and accountability to governance,” he said

“I wish you a wonderful birthday and many more years in good health and renewed strength.

“Happy birthday Mr President”[/b]

Anybody trying to exclude Tinubu from all we are facing is just fooling himself
