GWMI:
who is dumb?you or Tinubu's supporters?
You think you will keep enjoying every government leaveage and you expect growth in the economy?you know nothing about governance so stop making unnecessary noise.

Another zombie on the beat. Even if a zombie is dying from hunger and going into his grave. The chain on his neck is so tight that he will keep supporting his slavemaster
What a pity!!!

Let's share the favourite clause of Tinubu zombies. 'May this Telco price hike favor me and my family ijn'. .
Before the end of this year a lot of Nigerian will start eating food directly from dumpsite una never see anything. Tinubus leadership style has always been to tax the poor to death, his government introduced all forms of levies in Lagos that only the poor bore.

It's hard to stomach but Nigeria's situation is a hopeless one. The number of convoy is not as pathetic as the comments of political praisesingers I am seeing here.
What we don't understand is that irrespective of your political lining you need to hold your leaders accountable, when all someone is doing looks pleasing to you because he's from your tribe or religion. You are nothing but a disgrace to humanity.
It's these same sets of people that made buhari to set Nigeria 50 years backward with praisesinging despite all the goodwill that he enjoyed when he came in.

In a sane clime a man like Buhari would have been cooling off in prison for the mess he left behind in this country. His actions or inactions brought this country to it's knees.

Fixing Nigeria is not rocket science, it's just sad that we elected buhari who knows nothing about basic economics but only to direct cattle to waste 8 years of our lives. Any southerner as president would have done exactly what tinubu is doing, it's not a fluke that Nigeria had her best economic growth under a southern presidency,even Jonathan acheived some level of success during his tenure.
No northerner should be president for the next 20 years to enable Nigeria acheived some development within the timeframe. The northerners have these penchant of only using the presidency to patronize their cronies and not making the country develop.

mank1234:
This is how tyrants are created. The question should be is it constitutional for a president to suspend a sitting CBN governor? Jonathan first set this wrong precedent.

When Buhari started nepotism that's how he was urged on with the excuse, 'you cannot sacrifice competence on the alter of federal character'. Then he started moving in on judiciary and legislature.

It seems we are on this path again.

Though the president cannot sack a CBN governor going by the constitution but he can suspend and he has done the right thing the law permits him to do.
BAT is doing well .

plaindealer:
See endless ignorance and needless wahala over an office that doesn't have any official funds, allocations, or budgetary provisions?

This m,ust either self-induced ignorance, illiteracy or gross mental laziness.


Na by force to do follow follow or comment on the internet.?

You must be very daft to have quoted me with this stupid response. Even if you have been brainwashed that the office has no budgetary allocation , should the empty thing you keep on your head not tell you that the mere office she's sitting is running on public funds.
Keep cheering them it's your likes I pity not me that's already made.

Corridon:
Only in Tinubu's illegitimate regime. We now have the office of the first daughter and first son too. Next will be the office of the first driver and security.

Do I blame them or the docile Nigerian populace. How can a government that says it's broke and decided to remove subsidy still maintain overbloated offices instead of reducing cost of governance yet the populace is still cheering them. What sets Tunisia on was just a marginal increase in cost of bread yet the government was removed, but in Nigeria we take anything in Nigeria.
The useless and compromised NLC came up with useless 8 points agenda and called of strike but I didn't see anything that will cushion the effect of rising cost for the populace only minimum wage increase for less than 10% of the population that are in the civil service, so what happens to us in the private sector.
Nigeria is beyond redemption honestly.

Parachoko:
I'm speaking on behalf of Majority Of Nigerians

Majority Of Nigerians voted for Asiwaju

That's why He's The President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

You seem to be a slowpoke from all indications based on most of your comments I have read.
Even with the inec declared result, over 24m Nigerians voted in the election and Tinubu got 8m plus votes. It clearly means a whopping 16m Nigerians voted against Tinubu and majority don't want him and clearly don't want his wicked and ill thought out subsidy removal.
It's obvious you are still being fed, if you have gone out to fill your tank this week and subtract that from your salary you won't be here forecasting rubbish that does not exist about Nigerians that want Tinubus subsidy.

seunmsg:
In an unprecedented show of support and national acceptance, High Chief Government Ekpemopolo aka Tompolo today bought the front pages of two national newspapers to congratulate President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the occasion of his inauguration as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This massive show of love and support from Niger Delta leaders like Tompolo, Asari Dokubo, Wike, Jonathan etc goes to show that the South South is fully in support of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration. I’m glad the Senate president is going to the region.

Kudos to Tompolo and other Niger Delta leaders for putting the unity and progress of the country ahead of emotional, petty, bigoted and selfish ethno- religious considerations. Their show of southern support and solidarity will never be forgotten.

Be there and be deceiving yourself while quoting useless grammar adjective because even you yourself know you are deceiving yourselves.
Political jobbers and sychophants are doing what puts food on their table and are seeking for pipeline contracts, this ode is quoting grammar to push what is non existent.

God bless this editor as she could not have captured it better.
How a man spend years chasing power and after getting it didn't know what to do with it should be studied in political science. Buhari got into office unprepared and unfit to rule. He spent a major part of his 8 years jet trotting all over the world and left Nigeria economy in tatters. His laisse faire attitude to leadership made his government anything goes and looting happening everywhere without care. His approach to leadership issue is always lackadaisical and where he needs to be decisive on sensitive salient issues on security, economy or even politics etc will rather leave it to chance or expect things to sort themselves out.
Buhari is the worst calamity to ever happen to Nigeria.
Every aspiring leader should do a crash course on how not to be a buhari in leadership.

ken6488:
do you know Russia is technically the liberator here Ukraine is the bully

Ukraine has committing genocide In the donest region sponsors by the west

Russia is just doing the big brother role dealing with Ukraine

You are the one supporting a genocide regime

Leave uninformed people who feed their souls with CNN propaganda daily to their delusion.
How the world has been made to believe Russia is evil and just killing Ukrainians for killing sake is beyond my comprehension.
In case you don't know, the people of Donetsk are Russian speaking and infact are Russian in every facet of their lives, the bad luck they have is just to have been drawn in a map with Ukraine since the balkanization of the old USSR.
They have been seeking their independence since the 90s and successive Ukrainian government have oppressed them and make them slaves in their own land just because they see them as Russians.
Putin cannot take this torture to his brothers anymore and decided to liberate them. Now I'm not saying the invasion is good but you cannot blame Russia when the US and the west generally have done the same thing in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Serbia etc and left the countries in a mess.

yinkus6750:
Waooohhh
Finally, Dangote refinery is ready.
PMB wants to take glory for it, hence ensuring he commissions it before leaving office.
Hope they will start refining immediately after commissioning?
How will it's functioning affect subsidy and petrol price?

It's all a scam, that refinery us far from ready.
Buhari the scammer just want to show off as though he did something by commissioning an incomplete project before leaving office.

Burob:
Judas.

I don't blame Obi at all for what happened to Atiku. Atiku is the mastermind of his own downfall, firstly it was the turn of the south and he shouldn't have contested but fine he contested but why not pick Obi as vice and strike a deal with him that you will only spend one term. Their combo would surely have won this election hands down.
But Atiku fell into the scam of the pdp southern governors who demanded that he picks one of them as vice.
Obi saw the handwriting on the wall in pdp and decided to try his own luck elsewhere.
So please let's stop this blame game on Obi. He did the right thing by contesting and now he's also a national prospect for future election.

Obiedun:
You need to have your head examined for insulting me

He's asking you a valid question and you are complaining. What are you smoking?
How can any sane person sit down and say APC is better than PDP? How much was USD when APC took over and how much is it today? How much was Garri,Rice etc when APC took over and how much is it now or what about the insecurity and killings that was only in Borno when APC took over but today its all over the north.
Apart from that there's no difference between APC and PDP because what they are doing is transfer market once the season is open.
Akpabio that stole billions as a governor in pdp yesterday is nursing to come and steal trillions as Senate president in APC today, Wike is still coming to APC from PDP while Amaechi will transfer back to the other party called PDP tomorrow.
You better use your head and reason if you believe in this your APC is better that PDP rubbish.

nesphil:
ln, the compound where I'm staying, we have 17 flats occupied by more than 50 people(note about 99% of these occupants are 18 and above).
But out of this number, about 5 to 6 people have their PVCs,
and out of the 5 to 6 people that collected their PVCs, only 3 went out to vote.

USA with about 300 million people had a total number of votes cast in their last presidential election put at about 30 million, what would you say about this

So you see that it's not about population bro.

Your submission is incorrect and stop spreading falsehood. Over 150 million Americans voted in the last election in a population of 300M , infact over 73M votes for trump alone as the losing candidate.
Use Google cos it's your friend https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election.
I have always maintained that Nigeria's population is far over bloated. You cannot have over 200m people in this country but the usual north wants to claim population.

TheManPregnant:
Taxes will only guarantee you the right to live, school, work, do business, healthcare and have access to other social amenities in the region you live in. Voting will only be allowed in your state of origin.

We need to completely kill the type of ethnic propaganda that was spurn up during the last elections. The opportunity for irresponsible political actors and their surrogates to push us to the brink should be totally cut off.

A proposed ammendment to the electoral act and other areas of the constitution that concerns the right to vote to reflect this might just come up during the next national assembly.

Your point is baseless and mumuish in nature.
Take me for instance I'm a Yoruba man and my father is from osun state but I have never been to osun state because I was born and bred in Lagos. Are you saying I should leave Lagos for osun state where I have no connection anytime there's election?
You people need to think things through before opening up your mouth wa.
If that's the case even tinubu or Sanwoolu will have to go back to iragbiji and ijebu to contest and vote.
If you think this your point is to hunt igbos then I tell you millions of Yorubas like me will be hunted more.

UNRULY:
In future election, every voters should queue behind their candidates/ballot boxes of their candidates. I was told this happend during Abiola elections and it was free and fair. All these abracadabra that happend in the last general elections na big shame for some of us weh de play international politics. Just look at my beloved Delta state!! What a shit hole. Ibori remains the only good governor even tho I was still a teenager during his tenure, there was peace and a measure of progress during his reign. I wish Nigeria well!

What you are proposing us option A4 and yes it worked then cos I voted.
Imagine that you want to adopt option A4 now and thugs can see openly that you didn't vote for their preferred candidate, don't you think you will either be flogged with cane on the queue or be marked in the place you stay for future attacks.
The one that's not option A4 now we are still dealing with thugs profiling people based on ethnicity talk less of option A4.
Let's think things deeply before we say them abeg.

LegendHero:
Number 3 is the most useless of the prayers.

If 25% is so important, then any candidate can just concentrate on Abuja and make sure by hook or by crook other candidate don’t have 25%.

So if you like win the remaining 36 states, if I can win only FCT, I will continue to force INEC rerun everytime.

Does that make sense to you?

You are just boasting in your ignorance and some people actually liked your comment.
Who told you there can be another rerun after a rerun election?
The constitution is clear that the majority vote wins once a rerun is conducted and 25% does not apply in a rerun election.

inoki247:
PDP still get Majority....


Tough time for LP candidate ahead I pray dem no use wickedness show him pepper...

Nothing is tough here unless you are new to naija politics.
Those PDP members will all decamp to LP once the governor is announced winner.

voltron14:
Conversely, One demagogue in Abuja like Zakzaki, might just contest to scuttle democracy.

Imagine 1 candidate getting 85% votes in Abuja and Abuja alone.

There would be no handover.

In fact, a sitting president can ensure FCT is always rigged such that he continues in power.

You are ignorant of the law.
Fct is a territory and not a state, a president is the governor of the fct. How will he govern a place where the overwhelming majority don't want him?
The constitution envisaged this and made provision for a run off where the winner is simply who wins the majority votes and 25% does not apply.

olas24u:
It was peaceful in lagos ,lagos has 13,000 polling boots ,so you cannot use your own area to condemn the elections

I am appalled with this response of yours. So if election is peaceful where you reside and you have sampled opinions of several others including me sending this here that there were several voters suppression and irregularities yet the election in Lagos is peaceful according to you but I'm sorry to say you sounded very daft.
I am tempted to say, may God allow you to be flogged the way old people were flogges in some.polling units in Lagos yesterday by touts and hoodlums.

thunder74:
I am a Yoruba man, I voted for Obi and I will vote for him again

Speak for yourself please. I voted Obi and I'm a Yoruba man, if the election is conducted 20 times I will still vote obi ahead of tinubu or Atiku.

StreetFight:
She is mad, and her parents must also be mad.


Buhari left Abuja and went to Daura to vote. Rotimi Amaechi left Abuja and went to Rivers to vote. Yemi Osinbajo left Abuja and went to Ijebu to vote, even Peter Pandora Giringori Obituary left Lagos for Anambra to go and vote, please tell Emeka and Chukwuma to also go to Onitsha to vote. That is patriotism.

I am not interested in who governs Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi or Anambra, Igbos too should not try to determine who governs Yoruba land, if not, it will continue to be bloody.

So if we decide to follow your dumb analysis we should ask Tinubu to go and vote in iragbiji and not in ikeja or sanwoolu to vote in ijebu where he's from and not in ikoyi.
The amazing thing is that you people propagating this stupid narrative are either from ogbomosho or ileoluji yet you deprived the Rhodes vivour or Doherty a place in their own ancestral homes. Today and indian is the prime minister of UK, an Indian is the mayor of London but primordial people like you will be saying rubbish.
I spit on your education if you have any.

mtngloetiartel:
What is wrong with you people sef!
Do they not pay tax in Lagos? Is it not thier civil right to vote? What is all these rubbish with you people claiming indigene of Lagos! Why don't you dare to call for referendum instead of this nonsense election! Awon oloriburuku!

The funny thing about this people chanting go to your home and vote is that they are not even from Lagos. You will find out most of them are from ijebu or ogbomosho.

Healthquest:
Give obi 1million, e no go still meet up

You are a mugu, you think election rigging is one plus one equals two.
Don't you know that as they deflate the vote of the other parties they would inflate their own in the process due to bvas?
What happened was APC reduced the votes of LP and PDP in certain states like rivers,Lagos,Benue,imo,akwa ibom,oyo etc and added it to their own to balance the total votes cast.
Now remove those figures from apcs votes and add it to LPs own, APC will drop to around 7m and the other parties will overtake them.

MatrixCircle:
Who are LP house of reps and Senatorial candidates in Lagos states since we now have APC and LP in Lagos. Atiku don bury PDP finally. LP reps and Senatorial candidates in Lagos State may pull a surprise.

Unfortunately for LP, despite their strong showing they didn't present any candidate in over 14 rep seats and the 3 senatorial districts. I think inec said they submitted their lists late or something.
In my own constituency I just wasted my vote for NNPP in those two categories. LP will really bite themselves for that good cos they would have easily won like 10 seats today.

With what I've seen kwankwasos NNPP doing up north. This election would have been over if obi and Kwankwaso had agreed and signed a pact that he will be the resident after obi.
If that merger had happened this election would have been over with obi winning landslide.
It's so unfortunate they failed to merge.

asanausana91:
let us be realistic,peter Obi does not have the capability and acceptability to win the election. Aside from south east Peter Obi will hardly get 25% in any of the 5 zones. We should stop lieing to ourselves.

Shebi you are God now and crystal ball is in your bedroom to see who has votes or not. Better go and vote your Atiku in peace and stop using wasted vote narrative the lure people into your delusion.
Allow people waste their vote in peace afterall you also want to waste your vote on Atiku who I know cannot win.

asanausana91:
Don't waste your votes on peter Obi, even Obi himself know that he is not going anywhere but greediness and selfish attitude would not allow him to step down for Atiku Abubbakar who brought him into the limelight.
South East pls don't make the mistake of voting for Peter Obi, give your votes to Atiku Abubbakar whom God has given the assignment of rescuing this country.

Define wasting of vote sir?
If I vote for Atiku and he doesn't win have I not wasted my vote too according to your stupid logic.
Pls allow me to waste my vote in peace afterall it's my vote and not yours.
Stupid logic indeed.

Finesse247:
I am on ground in South West, Nigeria. I will be voting tomorrow. Canvassers and party loyalist have been at the houses of various politicians for cash disbursement. I can authoritatibely tell you that there is no/limited cash for vote buying.
I asked potential voters, and they said they may not come out to vote is they will not be given cash. Therefore, low turnout of voters may be recorded.

Rubbish talk! Anybody that needs to be induced with cash before voting in the first place does not deserve to vote.
What exactly is wrong with a lot of Nigerians to insist on money to be paid to deteine your destiny for the next 4 years.

I have always known either of Obi or Kwankwaso cannot step down for anyone at this stage because it's way too late. This election is now beyond both of them and too many vested interests involved now.
If any of them dare to back down that would spell the end of their political career unless they don't plan again in future elections.
Funny enough kwankwasos NNPP is doing very well for a party that's less than 2 years old. I have been seeing a lot of his posters and NNPPs candidates for senate and house of reps in Lagos even more than labour party.
