Oyedepo did said he was going to open the gate of hell, if we did not vote for Jonathan.
Maybe, just maybe the gate of hell is open because what the country is facing at the moment is hell reason for being less bothered

A dead man, in this case woman got no worries

The truth is, annual rent is preferable because of convenience.

A Muslim/Muslim ticket, how was that going to be possible. Infact the PDP then would have used it as a campaign tool against the APC.

All these are made to bully North/Buhari to hand the APC presidential ticket to the South West and specifically to Tinubu

Nobody takes responsibility

QueenAgbo:
Calm down he is the owner of the daiilybuzz monicker.We know him well.

Oh! Really

QueenAgbo:
Alexreport leave this man alone.U done chop him money reach.

I am not sure it is Alexreport, Alexreport is busy with his Abuja beauty pageant job

I think Sagay and his PACAC has outlived their usefulness.

PACAC should be disbanded

paramakina202:
this man shouldn't go for second term,he should it for the interest of Imo state.

He will surely contest but whether he will win or not is a story for another day

Remember Ikedi Ohakim

Gov. Hope Onwalaihi Abdullah Uzodinma

Can Buhari fire the management of AEDC

hollah123:
can Peter obi stand atiku in dat aspect?

No he can't, but that does not take away the fact that he has the capacity to lead this country

hollah123:
capacity n political structure is different.

There are many politicians like him out there with capacity n political structure

You and I know very well that for you to be able to influence elections in today's Nigeria, you must be a money bag and throw money around. When you now throw these money at the right people and at the right time, you now have what we know as 'political structure'

hollah123:
Peter obi that can't even influence election in anambra wants to win in d whole of Nigeria.

No problem now,let him win d primary under pdp first

Peter Obi does not need to influence elections in Anambra State before becoming the president. What we should look out for is that, does he have the capacity, yes he does.

alizma:
Every country want to have space in Africa

Yeah, you are right. That tells us that Africa, Nigeria really have enormous potential, bad leadership is just the problem

mosdii:
Nigerian Girls Are Useless...All Of Them

The one and only Mosdii

Could be the Nigerian branch of the Mexican drug cartel

Though Messi has left Barca, Messi represent Barcelona having spent most of his career their.
Barcelona will have to pay dearly for it in their last champions league group game against Bayern Munich of which Barca must win if they hope to progress to the knock out stage

But to the Japa geng

Anywhere is better than Nigeria

OP

Where is the peace

The title is misleading kindly correct

See what hunger has caused

These are mere consumables he needs to make use of to survive

DubaiLandLord1:
The Nigerian Army

Someone invited the Army

"I was the one who invited the Nigerian Army to my state" - Supreme Court Governor Hope Uzodimma

DubaiLandLord1:
Uzodinma can't be held responsible for this.

Who is responsible

Buhari To Igbo Leaders: Your Demands For Nnamdi Kanu's Release Is Heavy

Is history repeating itself

By Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo

The reaction of some elements in the North to the events of the last few weeks in Nigeria revealed something very shocking - they missed the memo.

Take as an example, the Kaduna declaration. Those who searched through their intellectual reservoir and all they could come up with was that declaration, either made a grave mistake in their understanding or simply did not read the memo.

Based on the content of the memo, a smarter idea would have been for them to announce the independence of Northern Nigeria from the Nigerian federation. Not many people would have put up a fight to stop them - with the possible exception of the people in the middle belt of Nigeria, who might scream and kick that they did not want to be part of the North.

Here are a few things that some of the most vocal extreme groups in the North missed from the memo.

1. There is no North. Ok, geographically, there is northern Nigeria. But there is nothing like one North, one political North with shared interests. If there was a patchwork like that in the sixties and seventies, it dissipated in the last three decades when the middle belt area was subjected to communal clashes with communities of ‘settlers’ from further North. The crisis in Southern Kaduna is the epitome of that misnomer. And the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East is a further repudiation of such contraption.

2. Something happened between 1986 and 2016. What happened was that after forty years of experimenting, two generations of Nigerians have come to understand thoroughly what is working and what is not working in their country. They have come to understand what is fair and what is not fair. And for so many of them, there is no need waiting and hoping anymore. Some of the loud voices up North still act as if the dark era of the eighties is where we are today. For example, affirmative actions like "educationally disadvantaged states", "federal character provisions" and similar policies put in place to guarantee a fair representation of every part of Nigeria in federal establishments and positions have incurred deep backlash in the hearts of many. They have proven to have been abused, to have failed and to have generated nothing but resentment in the hearts of those denied opportunities in the name of these programs and those in the system who had to deal with the aftermath of such programs. But more importantly, these policies have failed to bridge the educational gap that eventually would have made them unnecessary. People who have identified these failures are the one clamoring for another way. They are the ones pushing for merit as a foundation for progress and advancement.

3. In Nigeria of the past, information flow was minimal. Today, an okada driver in Oshodi knows more than what Ibrahim Babangida knew as Nigeria's military leader in 1986 - thanks to the telecommunication revolution that democratized information and knowledge. What that means is that the litany of past and present injustices are in the fingertips of anyone who has whatsapp. If Nigeria says that Kano State, supposedly with the same population as Lagos State has 44 local government areas, and Lagos State has only 20 local government areas, the information is available to many. And so is the interpretation of that fact - which is that more federal resources go to Kano than Lagos because certain allocations depend on the number of local government areas in a state. That nothing has been done about it in the last 18 years is not lost on people. And that everyone is not screaming that it is unacceptable says a lot.

4. It used to be a unifying rallying cry to point at the Igbo and say they did it - that it was their fault. And once that is done, the rest of Nigeria falls in line to isolate the Igbo. But those days are long gone. The memo stated that every core region of Nigeria produced those who plundered the nation and brought it to its knees. It also concluded that, burdened by the pressure of a failing state, every core region is leaving the option of bailing out on Nigeria on the table. They have all figured out that the crocodile eats the last person left after he had fed others to the beast.

There are only two good options left for Nigeria. One is a serious and deep restructuring of the country to make a fairer and a more just nation. The second is the invocation of a referendum, not just for Biafra, for all those who wish to leave Nigeria. Most Nigerians will choose the first option. It is also one that a thoughtful government can honestly and easily implement. The other options are not just bad - they are terrible. That is a brief summary of the memo. For those who wish to read the original memo, the title is, “Nigeria: The Status Quo Is Dead.”
