Vixlot:
Are these guys not throwing overzealously Osinbajo under the bus?

I dey tell you.

That tells you the kind of people supporting Osinbajo.

Ostentatious in appearance but intelligently foolish when they talk or write.

pocohantas:
I like to think there is no right and wrong to this question. I might be wrong though.

You are correct.

You have to pick 'well' and 'on time' from both to answer correctly.

It is not just enough to do work well or on time.

There has to be a balance between good work and good time.

Johnames:
Osinbajo did not do anything wrong, I'm expecting tinubu to step down and support osinbajo, He is an elder state man. He is not fit to become Nigeria president, we should tell ourselves the truth.

Neither of them is good enough for Nigeria's presidency.

Osinbajo headed Nigeria's economy team for 7 years, with nothing substantial to show.

The methodology with which he handled economic and social programs such as the trader money, clearly shows a man 'not streetsmart' enough to lead Nigeria.

Same way Tai Solarin spoke big grammar and criticized the Babangida administration, until he was handed People's Bank to run. You and I know the remainder of the story.

How much of the monies Osinbajo gave out to traders have been repaid to ensure continuation and expansion of the program?

The problem we have in Nigeria is that we like hyping titles... professor... engineer....doctor... barrister.... senior advocate etc. These are, but streamlined academic trainings. They do not determine quality leadership. Pretending to or having a humble mien doesn't too. I said this before Jonathan became president. Men who never allow people know their stance on critical issues are often very 'dangerous'. They hardly want to have 'enemies'. They strive to be in the good books of everyone....fear such people.

Nobody with defined and 'inflexible' religious inclinations makes a good leader, especially within a multireligious, multicultural arrangement as Nigeria.

What happened to empirical and verifiable track records? Can anyone name Osinbajo's public service track records vis a vis how Nigerians have become better by them?

I'm

Righthussle:
Osinbajo will be president

Story!

qekng40:
Lol, someone that is there based on his godfather have Nigerians at heart? Abeg talk another thing!

It is a blatant lie.

Tinubu didn't even want Fashola as minister.

Buhari overruled him.

qekng40:
When you see them like this, you think they have us in minds.


All na for their pockets!


Road they would even abandon

It is not always correct.

Fashola has Nigerians at heart.

You can see that in the passion with which he works.

Bugatie:
Good of him to consult and test his popularity but having been a critical resident and experienced the administration of both Rivers state and Anambra state under Amaechi and Obi, Obi comes top in steering the ship of this nation.

Peter is an efficient administrator, a charismatic leader and an uncommon professional.

Peter Obi 2023!

Which Obi be that?

Pandora or China?

We no need any of them.

Common LGA elections e no fit conduct in 8 years. His infrastructure projects in Anambra were shabby and he has proved to have a high tendency to proritize personal gain in the face of conflicting interests.

Which bank Obi say e save Anambra money again? Which people get the bank?

They said he is ingenious with managing the economy, and I ask, which right thinking person saves rather than invest strategically, in the face of massive youth unemployment, huge human capital and infrastructural gaps?

Abi, make we vote am because e pay salaries and pension?

Both you and Obi should go and sit down!

Obi was below par in governance. I be Anambra man. Presidency go swallow Obi pass the way e take swallow Jonathan sef.

bennybuhari:
Yeah. The fact that he called APC governors and they responded to him says a lot

He is a sitting VP. Certainly, some governors would respond.

Why didn't all the governors respond? More governors responded to Tinubu's invite, which was a very short notice.

The thing is, Buhari will play the 'game changer' role in who becomes Nigeria's next president. If he doesn't think that it is Osinbajo or Tinubu, then not much can be done.

And I don't see him picking either of them.

MikoB:
I always say it here for many months now that osinbajo has done his home work, they find it it difficult to believe, if I tell you how many governors supporting, him you will be amazed.

Lol.

Oga, leave matter! I don't support Tinubu o, but Osinbajo should be worried about those claiming to be supporting him.

Na politics be this o. It's Buhari that would really determine the direction that things will go in the APC.

E go shock people...

Jostoman:
WIKE my man, The eagle has landed in BORNO again. Some zombies and the evil supporters club of nairaland are in serious pain right now

He should just share money and leave.

The North no send am.

My greatest joy in all of these politicking is that Wike is contesting. I have always wished for this. For him to be ripped off Rivers money big time!

Which criminals

Wait until they are all smoked out to see them, since you want to feign ignorance....

new2012:
for starters PDP built how many functional universities? I don't expect u to know though since learning is ur weakness. the kidnappings and deaths this era is scary, the fear of highways, the scary hyperinflation and excessively high price of everything. Not expecting u to understand that since you're legally blind.

PDP was a massive failure, but APC turned them to saints, APC failed ten times more.

Name the universities the PDP built. Let's have them in pictures.

Universities that the APC had to complete and make functional..namely the Maritime University in Warri.

The hyperinflation and high cost of commodities are global issues....in the UK, US, everywhere. The fact that you made it an entirely Nigerian affair shows how grossly uninformed you are.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/food-inflation&ved=2ahUKEwi6oevsj4r3AhVNSEEAHUgYBCEQFnoECFMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2DsZrNj3u00Xr1zRFnGnOV

Oga, you can talk all the nonsense you want, Nigerians won't let PDP return to power. They were a total mess.

I will give a little task, do a research on the origin of kidnapping in Nigeria....I make bold to tell you that it started under PDP leadership. Do the research!

So, look for another thing to talk about.

Parachoko:
Where are the miscreants arrested and killed?

The Nigerian Navy should focus their energy more on naval warfare. Infantry job should be left alone for the Nigerian Army.

E no concern you.

We no need your advice.

IPOB apologist!

Does it matter if it is the Air force, Navy or even Vigilante, that is deployed to restore peace?

Aonkuuse:
Security forces cannot go after the real people behind these attacks, they will just be going about the bush.

Meanwhile see graphic pictures of people slaughtered by Fulani Herdsmen in Edo State>>>> https://salemgists.com/fulani-militias-slaughters-five-people-in-edo-community-graphic-photos/

Oga, If you want to join them, join them. Quit being an online apologist of crime and criminals.

Anambra is my state, and I support any measure being taken to flush out all enemies of my state.

So, because crime was committed in Edo and the culprits are yet to be apprehended, we should allow criminals to enjoy field days in Anambra?

What is your point exactly?

Eastarn:
and APC is better?

APC better pass PDP one million times.

For staters, APC's new national Chairman is from the North, and most of the aspirants currently vying for the presidency are Southerners.

Can you same of the PDP? Their national Chairman is from the North, yet most of their presidential aspirants are from the same North. What a party?

In 16 years, PDP couldn't deliver a rail system to Nigerians. APC has done so in 8 years, and they are expanding the rail network across the country.

Under PDP, fertilizer blending plants across the country went moribund, save for a few. APC has ensured the revitalization of more than 30 of these plants.

The key airports (Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akanu Ibiam, Murtala Muhammed, Aminu Kano etc) in the country have received quality facelift under the APC. The 2nd Niger Bridge is becoming a reality. What about the Bonny-Bodo Bridge project? Calabar-Cameroun Highway; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway etc,

Abeg, don't compare both parties at all.

Penguin2:
We trust Soludo to deliver but he should have removed his mouth from IPOB matter.

When Igboho led Yoruba youths to Ibarapa to dislodge Fulanis and the subsequent crisis that ensued, did he see Tinubu say Pim?

Bandits have been causing mayhem and carnage all over the north, has he heard any northern politician raise a voice in condemnation? No. Not like they support their activities but these are delicate issues that whatever you say about them might be twisted and misunderstood.

If Soludo wanted to go against IPOB, he should have done that discreetly without challenging them to a fight.

I feel it’s stupidity on his own side.

What is IPOB?

So, a governor should be scared of them in his own state?

You sound so stupid with what you typed.

oilPUSSY:
Like I have always said..
Soludo should have ignored Ipob activities and focus on governance... He wants to do oversabi...

IPOBS are in Enugu and Ebonyi but it's not stopping the governors of the aformentioned states to deliver dividends of democracy
Over sabi governor...

We don't even know who's attacking again in Anambra whether its UGM or DSS because hoodlums have taken advantage of his poocknosing on the affairs of IPOB and unleashed terror in a Peaceful Anambra State


Stop chasing shadows and focus on governance..

Who knows he must have sorrounded himself with terrible advisers that are only after their pockets !!

Oga, take your worthless advice to your state.

Soludo will take on them, man for man. Dem no reach.

How dare you ask a sitting governor to ignore hoodlums who terrify his people and determine when traders and businesses should operate? Do you know what that means? That a governor should relinquish his powers to hoodlums?

Carry your yeye advice go your village, we no need am.

We are ready to take on these criminals. Watch and see. Obiano was a coward. Soludo has to be fierce and strategic.

They are lucky I am not Anambra's governor, dem for don run go Afghanistan. Who takes such nonsense as a leader?

ibidapko:
At the expense of sounding like an IPOB apologist, I have to correct some wrong and uninformed statement you made in your above post about the Anambra state situation:

1. Soludo has to be decisive and ruthless with his security methods. ......... He has to react sternly.
SOLUDO does not have any available means and ways of reacting sternly or ruthless in dealing with the situation

Even the Army and Police are scared for their own lives. In the Anambra of today, no police or army moves about in uniform except they are in a group. And the check points are deserted once it's 7.00pm and during Monday's Stay at home. It's that bad!
Therefore who do you think Soludo can mobilise to curb the excesses in Anambra?
Maybe he can mobilise people from the Northern states like Hope did in Imo state , which exercebated the situation.

2. Why couldn't they stop the Anambra election? You needed to be in Anambra during the election. All man behaved themselves..

Because IPOB even played a major part in getting people to go out and vote because of their belief that there was a move to create an atmosphere of insecurity in the state, militarize Anambra state and impose a state of emergency in the state. There was even a rumour that Obiano must have reached out to some people to achieve the sanity experienced during the election.

3. It is high time the SE sets up a solid security outfit to combat these guys man for man. Anambra is a small state. Comb every forest and bush.

And where will the SE get the recruits that will populate this security outfit? Everyone can attest to the success or otherwise of Ebube-agu in Hope's land.

SOLUDO should apply more street sense in handling these IPOB guys as if they are the sole problem of Anambra state as it appears there are other groups masquerading under the Unknown Gunmen banner to kill and cause havoc in the state.

Moreover, by setting up the so called PEACE & RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE , one would assume that Soludo must have identified some key players in the groups responsible for the insecurity in the state .
ONE CANNOT DIALOGUE WITH THE UNKNOWN'

These are unnecessary excuses.

I really don't know how you rationalize things. How did Fayose recruit people to solve the insecurity in his state?

Secondly, it is not correct that the insecurity in Imo state worsened. It actually improved.

Oga, uniform men wear uniforms around Anambra. You are not telling the truth. They could face Boko Haram in a large forest, it is in Anambra state that they have to become afraid....

Just watch and see as things unfold.

Rugaria:
Na you Sabi wetin you dey yarn.. I wasn't defending IPOB-ESN perse... I just gave you an alternative to find solutions to the crises; talk when you can talk, dialogue when there's an opportunity, and only fight as a last resort.. Soludo was elected to develop Anambra state not just to fight IPOB. If you guys push him to burn off all the goodwill that greeted him when he assumed office, na una Sabi.. Not even sure you're from there..
As for you and your machine gun mouth that runs ratatatatata, Go and smoke them out in their hideouts, if that's what you want to do and stop running your mouth..

Why you come dey comment since e no concern you?

Goodwill isn't governance. Everybody can't be a coward like you.

Soludo's disposition towards these guys will determine the success of his administration. These aren't guys you dialogue with. They took the fight right to him, without any provocation.

Soludo was elected to protect lives and properties; and he has to employ every means possible to do so.

Just watch and see. Soludo will take them on. How do you expect him to administer the state when the activities of these hoodlums impact hugely on his administration's earnings?

Amaechi smoked hoodlums in the creeks and kept them in check while as governor. No forward thinking governor allows a group of criminals to determine when traders and businesses open or close in his state.

Uzodinma gave them fire in Imo. Soludo has to do the needful. You can't show weakness in governance. You give them fire, and then wait with open arms for them to come appealing for dialogue. You don't start going after them begging for dialogue. Dialogue over what exactly?

Rugaria:
Decisive with who? Ipob told you they are not involved! So who will you be decisive with? And with what are you going to be decisive?! Your fledging Army that defends cows while dodging fights with bandits?

Oga, this isn't rocket science.

Fayose did same with criminals masquerading as herdsmen in Ekiti. He unleashed Ekiti hunters and they vanished.

It doesn't matter what IPOB says. These are criminal activities, hence must be treated as such, irrespective of those involved.

Soludo has his job cut out. If e wan sleep for on top bike, make e go ahead. As for me, these guys no reach.

Army dey fear bandits abi? Na people like you dey see soldier uniform dey piss for body...

Where you anywhere near Anambra during the last election? Na we run the election. Where were your unknown gunmen during the election?

Nbotee:
So why reject it before becos it is clearly the same contract that has now been approved. It is those at the helm of affairs that are supporting and aiding these bandits/terrorists.. There's nothing anyone can say to prove otherwise


Abeggi... Is Osibanjo the President of Nigeria??

Is Osibanjo the President of Nigeria?

Oga, before you start defending Osinbajo. He was at the helm when FEC attended to Amaechi's security and surveillance contract proposition.

Buhari was out of the country during this period. So, take a chill pill.

Rugaria:
Soludo should have avoided these guys and delved into other administrative issues first. Seems he has riled things up with his ultimatum. It has also given room to "divide and rule" merchants from outside the region to practice their deadly and evil skills.

Delved into administration, how? What did anyone in Anambra do to warrant such attack?

Soludo has to be decisive and ruthless with his security methods. If he plays with them, they will mess him up. Attacking Soludo's LGA is a direct assault on his person. He has to react sternly.

Why couldn't they stop the Anambra election? You needed to be in Anambra during the election. All man behaved themselves. Not acting decisively will cause things to fester. This was how Boko Haram became what they became.

It is high time the SE sets up a solid security outfit to combat these guys man for man. Anambra is a small state. Comb every forest and bush. Instituting Monday prayers, for me, doesn't do anything. He has to wake up. This isn't grammar o. This can make or ruin his administration.

Big message

It's going to be a youth revolution with Yahaya Bello

Nigeria needs a very detribalized and exposed president

Not be only youth revolution....

Abeg, make una shift.

Who sabi Yahaya Bello?

Starzo:
All the criminals/bandits they've been holding meetings with and paying ransoms to they couldn't apprehend them since ABI?...na nin go go help them arrest them...una nor wise at all

Truthisunique2:
The issue in South East is very simple, give them kanu

I believe Nigerians said this about the founding fathers of Boko Haram and how it was handled

Today the country would literally give anything to north to end agitation but it has gotten beyond that

Why don't the government do same for south east that still have a demand now?

You can release kanu and have him sign agreement with ICC etc that he can be apprehended wherever he is if he renegenes, from their the nation can start citing projects in south east and carrying them along at least to the extent that the other region enjoy

The FG won't do that.

No administration has done what Buhari is doing for the SE. He completed the Zik Masoleum project. Reconstruction works on Onitsha-Awka-Enugu Expressway, Arochukwu-Ohafia-Bende Road and Enugu-Port Harcourt Highway are progressing well.

The 2nd Niger Bridge is near completion. The chemical and fertilizer blending plant in Ebonyi state has long been revitalized. The Ikot Ekpene-Alaoji-Ugwuaji Switching & Transmission Station has also been completed.

Construction of a modern Medical Diagnostics Center is ongoing at the Federal Medical Center, Umuahia.

So, this is not about the FG not siting projects in the SE. If these unknown gunmen think they could cow the authorities by destroying properties and killing innocent people, let them continue.

Kanu has the law to face. I don't see how this could make the gunmen destroy their own homeland. Nothing justifies what they are doing, and no government should succumb to these threats.

I can only blame the governors of the SE for all that is happening. We all saw how Igboho tried to disrupt the relative peace in the SE, and how he was handled. But no, our governors were busy reverencing Kanu until he started to see himself as a demi god.

If Soludo knows what is good for his administration, he has to get his acts together and take real charge.

Fayose is a million times better than Wike but Peter Obi is the one Nigerians want at the moment

I agree with you that Fayose is better than Wike, but it is self deceit to say that Nigerians want Obi.

It is a big lie! Tell me one reason why anyone would want Obi?

Is it because of the substandard roads, that are now ridden with potholes, that he constructed as governor? Or his petty bragging about salary and pension payments to public servants and retirees, as his greatest accomplishment as governor? Or is the N77billion Anambra money he saved in Fidelity Bank (and other banks), a bank in which he is a major shareholder? Or his inability to conduct LGAs elections in 8 years? What was Anambra IGR figures pre and post Obi governorship?

Abeg, you and Obi should go and sit down. I am Anambra man, but I will never support someone without capacity to be Nigeria's president.
