It's not the north that is forgiving terrorists , it's Tinubu that is forgiving terrorists.

He's a terrorist sympathiser.

It is either you are deliberately mischievous or you are grossly misinformed and completely ignorant to have such conclusion.
If only you are not too young to know how weak our democratic institutions are. The President can't take any decision on these people, without the so called Northern Elders and political and religious stakeholders not contributing to his decision. The President only act on recommendations of the Northern stakeholders, which includes Governors, Emirs, he Sultan and politicians.

Hmmm, The North are not serious at fighting terrorism...
If they are not forgiving terrorists, they are paying them buy weapons to keep up with kid#apping and ki,llngs.

Why are they being paraded, did they parade their victims before unalive them?
Why not do to them what the Nigerian Airforce did to their brothers in jilli market?

We need their brains not their tags

Just like APC who said we need Tinubu's brain not his body

Eve if "delegate" is spelt on the tag as "delicacy", it's irrelevant to the main mission....

Lolss, you need their brains not their tag, unfortunately for you the brains that wrote "Deligate" instead of "Delegate", is definitely not a functional one. Anyway, you may personally need it, perhaps the one you have is🪫 or completely 💀

Professor Soludo doesn't have to move to APC, he should remain in APGA and work for the President from there.

The only major person we want in APC now is either Atiku or Obi. At this point we don't need even Kwankwaso or Elrufai. Just Atiku from the North or Obi from the South, then everywhere will stew, the more.

Mind you, not that we need them to campaign for President Tinubu or hold meetings with him, either if them should just leave ADC.

And some people are actually excited hearing this, as if Buba Galadima isn’t simply whining and peddling empty bravado.

Ask those who are pushing this scam on Ogun people

When Yayi was representing Lagos area, did he tell them he's originally from Ogun state? The first scam

When Yayi ported to Ogun West in 2023 to contest the senatorial ticket, again is Yayi originally from Ogun West or Ogun Central

Yayi represented Lagos for over 2 decades but 70% of his acclaimed achievements are in Ogun state, abeg as how now. Was he elected to represent Ogun state or Lagos state

The same Yayi gave people money to buy the Ogun West ticket for him, but came on media to be shedding crocodile tears. Too much fakeness

To wrap up Yayi's scam, 60% of his acclaimed achievements are building of roads and schools..Hahaha , Is the primary duty of a Senator is to be building schools and roads.

The scam Yayi won't sell

Those who are pushing him should tell us his tangible and glaring achievements in wherever he represented for decades, not those fake ones they compiled the other time

It's obvious that you have a thing or more against him. You do you want as the next Governor of Ogun State?

God1000:
What did Donald trump promise some people in Nigeria that make them not to see the evil in him



Senator sani is so right here

The Senator should not mince voice, we know the people who he referred to. They're the same people that wanted to become Igwe in South Africa and Ghana.

Despite mounting pressure from a regrouping of old-guard politicians, some of whom believe they own Nigeria, while others feel aggrieved that he defeated them at the polls, and still others are angered by not receiving appointments or contracts, hence their efforts to regroup and topple his government—the President has so far refused to show any sign of fear or wavering. He has continued to demonstrate leadership in the face of a mountain of challenges confronting the country, some of which can be traced to the desperation of the opposition, especially from the northern part of the country.

The President has proven himself to be an astute politician and has also demonstrated that he cannot be intimidated as they did to former President Goodluck Jonathan. Consequently, they have shifted their focus to the head of the electoral body appointed by the President, accusing him of bigotry, partisanship, and religious bias, and calling for his resignation. Despite all these, both the President and the INEC Chairman have refused to budge.

This has reinforced the view that President Tinubu is not a weakling like former President Jonathan, who was voted out of office amid what some describe as a grand conspiracy and coordinated opposition. Rather, President Tinubu appears to be a far more seasoned and resilient political actor—one who understands the dynamics of power, the tactics of opposition, and the necessity of strategic firmness in governance.

Unlike Jonathan, whose leadership style was often perceived as conciliatory to a fault, Tinubu’s political journey has been shaped by years of active engagement in high-stakes political struggles. From his role in pro-democracy activism during the military era to his influence in building political coalitions in the Fourth Republic, he has developed both the experience and instincts required to withstand sustained opposition pressure. This background has seemingly equipped him with the capacity to anticipate, absorb, and counter coordinated political offensives without appearing rattled.

More recently, critics have compared the President to the late General Sani Abacha, the head of a military junta who sought to transform himself into a civilian leader by succeeding himself through a transition programme. They have also revisited the President’s past as a pro-democracy activist, including his role in NADECO, a socio-political group of notable Nigerians that opposed military rule. Ironically, these references, while intended as criticism, also underscore the depth of his political history and the breadth of his experience.

In this context, it becomes clearer why the current opposition strategy has struggled to unsettle him. President Tinubu is not only politically experienced but also structurally prepared surrounded by a network of loyalists, seasoned administrators, and strategists. This level of preparedness, combined with his assertive leadership style, suggests that he is better equipped to manage and withstand opposition onslaughts than his predecessor, whose approach often left room for political adversaries to gain momentum.

What's the emancipation. Explain before foaming on it.

Before the coming of Tinubu and Wike, there were things those of us from the South thought were exclusively preserved for the North e.g like being the Minister of FCT, being Ambassadors to certain countries, being the CEO of certain Govt Agencies. Even asking questions or acting in certain political manners and patterns. Also in the Civil Service, the Northerners saw themselves as though they were above board. They could do or undo. However, all that are gradually changing, in the public sector, I've seen them being redundant, because they can't contribute towards the mission, vision and the overall mandate of their offices. In the same vein, in the Military, leadership hierarchy are also being balanced, all thanks to Tinubu and Wike...
You may not agree with this or even being aggrieved with it, because it doesn't sit well with you, no wahala. You go dey fine.

Who told you Nigerians were ever happy?

Better pray our children don't find our days better than theirs.

Leave him, perhaps he was born in the 2000s, he grew up to see satalite TV, GSM phone and social media platforms. He should go back home and ask his dad how life was in the 80s and 90s.. my late Dad retired in the Federal Civil Service, while my mum was a teacher (they were both graduates, my dad, an alumni of OAU, he graduated when the school was still called the University of Ife, while mum graduate from UNAD (EKSU), then it was called OSUA).
We didn't have life on a rose, we struggled through my early days, partly in Lagos and Abuja. Nigeria, for me has never been a good country. It becomes good, when one has access to steal from the Government or dupe other people.

And you didn't know that was a typo error

Btw, is that the only contribution you have on this thread?

No sir, very plenty, I restricted myself to that one, because you're my brother and I don't want to make it look like we dey quarrel.

After the 2027 election, Southerners, especially the the small minority group and the Igbos should immortalise President Tinubu and Wike, the two men are currently championing the emancipation of the entire South. Unfortunately, Obi will not allow the igbos to see the work now, because of his quest for wetin he no fit get. However, they go know the truth in the years to come.

Do the corrections on my behalf Mr technical know how

It is "court" and not "country"

How disorganized can the opposition party ADC be by producing parallel chairmen for their congress.

There is a state where 3 parallel congress was conducted which produce 3 chairmen.

Some ADC states even took themselves to the country before the congress hence being suspended

Abeg, why should Nigerians trust the so confused opposition people when they can't even put their house in order

Actually, it's their supporters I am just pitying they are being used.

Oga, read what you posted and correct yourself!

onatisi:
i wont be surprised if the opposition are already mapping out a strategy to leave ADC , but the loud noise they are doing now may actually give the new party they are going the needed publicity . i don't think they will be naive not to think that with the way things are going with adc , the outcome may not favor them

Don’t you know that time is running out on them? The electoral process has a timetable, the longer they remain stuck in one place, the narrower their chances become.

In all of this, it’s only Obi and his Igbo supporters I sympathise with. As for the power-mongering Hausa-Fulani militias, they should go and sit down!

Amupitan will superintendent over the INEC that will conduct the 2027 election and nothing will happen. No tribe or group of people has monopoly in violence.

No be small insult Otedola received on X (Twitter) when he posted that picture yesterday. Though most it were from our Upper Iweka road neighbours. Although they were fiercely replied.

Salako01:
From the look of things, the old days where glommier. Nepa still dey do wetin dem dey do then. No much improvement.

It is not true, it is mere nostalgia. Nigeria has never been a 'good' country in the way some people remember. It is simply that life became less complicated due to modern access to things like the internet and mobile phones. In the past, there was no electricity or good roads. Very few people could afford imported used cars, build sizeable houses, or send their children to higher institutions. I remember in 1994/95, families couldn't even afford a loaf of bread or a whole tuber of yam, raw yams were sold in slices and using a kerosene stove was considered a luxury. While those specific things are changing, life remains very difficult.
However, with more corruption, yahoo and ritual, life seems to be softer now.

Christ4ever:
RCCG and Deeper Life are just two out of the tens of thousands of churches in Nigeria. What's your obsession with them?


Why should they take a stand? You think the pulpit is to be making political statements? Why not ask the Imams and Sheiks where they stand?

You have energy to be responding to hypocrites and bigots, the only reason they are obsessed with those Pastors is pure tribalism. Or how of them have you seen criticise Lazarus of Chosen or the babalawo of OPM, are those ones not Pastors, as well?

franchasng:
Professor Wole Soyinka, a story of how tribalism and egunje finished a once great man


As for the others, they really opened the eyes of Nigerians to see that it has always been about Yoruba interest and Yoruba egbe something


Really sad

Dey there and be mu-muing yourself, so your support for whoever you support (which is most likely to be pitobi, the Agiulu&Aguilera fraud) is about what, if not because he's your tribal man ? Bloody hypocrite!

Mrexcell:
And who gave tinibu such powers to stop a ss or se presidential candidate from emerging from the south?

Political scheming, it is beyond the comprehension of babies

AMINDA:
Whatever Tinubu does and no matter how hard he tries to be the only candidate on the ballot, he will not return re-elected. The only reason Nigerians have been patient is because they want to follow the legal route and take out their pound of flesh by exercising their right at the ballot. It will be naïve for any one man to think he will deprive a nation of over 200 million people of that right and continue to enjoy legitimacy.

You're missing the key point, the President doesn’t mind an opposition; in fact, he prefers multiple candidates on the ballot. But he wants them from the North, and not the South, especially not the South-South or South-East. That way, in 2027, when INEC announces the results, every 1 million votes from a bandit-ravaged Northern state will be offset by at least 1.5 million votes from a relatively safe Southern state.

This is 2026 and not 2014, let's use ojoro to cancel ojoro.

President Bola Tinubu is helping Southern politicians demystify their Northern counterparts, and lessons are being learned. If this is all he can achieve in eight years, then he has not totally failed. Nigeria does not belong to only one set of unproductive people.

If Goodluck Jonathan had toed this path 16 years ago, we would probably be here talking about the North teaching President Tinubu the lesson of his life who made them our teachers?

Come 2027, Asiwaju will retain his seat, whoever does not like it can go to the Hague, because na Wike them go still meet for Nigeria.

AMINDA:
Maybe when you tell us how Obi won Lagos under Sanwo-olu, Gbajabiamila, Obasa and Tinubu himself, I will tell you. Tinubu was highly unpopular in 2023 but Elrufai stuck his neck for him regardless, courting enemies in the process. Tinubu is now grossly unpopular than he was in 2023. Why is Ribadu or whomever not sticking his neck out there for him like Elrufai did? Once bitten, twice shy. Lessons!

You mean El-Rufai was the only Northerner who worked for Tinubu in 2023? That’s serious 😳. And now that the President has ditched El-Rufai, it means no Northerner will work for him in 2027. Don’t you think he’s in big trouble?

That definitely can't be a mere school inter-house sports. It could be a group of alumnus celebrating their alma mata.

AMINDA:
Lol. Oga, ADC will be on the ballot come 2027. No worry yourself. The party is seeing an unprecedented surge of entrants into its fold in the past few days after the INEC fiasco. Tinubu has no pathway to re-election and he must face his opponents at the ballot.

Lolss... which of the ADCs ; is it that of the usurpers led by Atiku and Mark or the the real ADC led by Abejide and Nafiu Gombe?

That President Tinubu is a democrat doesn't mean he should give up his mandate and right to gangsters, it won't happen.

Ofunaofu:
Your tears

Sorry, truth really hurts I know,

I understand the reasons behind your tears, and I genuinely feel that an Igbo presidency is long overdue and sacrosanct. However, it is quite pathetic that it has not yet been realized. Unfortunately, not this time, because it is a very wrong timing, moreso, how are you even sure that "the born to rules" will secede power to your candidate? The ADC gang-up cannot work against a Yoruba man, we will not allow it. The Yoruba are neither a minority nor an inferior nationality. If it worked against Jonathan, it was Jonathan’s fault.

Tinubu is, unarguably, the biggest politician in Nigeria, imagine a gang-up of disgruntled, insignificant people ousting him, it would affect the Yorubas for generations. It would set us back a thousand years and reduce us to second or third fiddle. You should think about it.

Tinubu may not be doing well, the question is: has any president ever done well in Nigeria? My brother, 2027 is beyond Tinubu! I’m sorry.

Ofunaofu:
It’s on record that this so-called NADECO wannabe betrayed Abiola and then went behind to beg Abacha for a commissioner post.

Is these tears not too much?
