So much respect for Mr Raji. He is not ready to get any dirty with the despirados. I have 4 people on my list that should have been considered for president if we know what we are doing in this nation.
1. Bukola Saraki (will unify the country, drive innovations and give the youth a voice)
2. Raji Fashola (will focus on governance rather than politics and improve infrastructures)
3. Peter Obi (Contrary to the fear that he might grant Biafra, there will be no such thing as Biafra agitation again once Igbos are given their space and a chance in Aso rock. He'll make a good president)
4. Rotimi Ameachi (perhaps just my bias)
All other aspirants are either religious bigots, old mofos or ethnic bigots. The real problem is that we're still stucked with the old and weary power intoxicated persons who are bent on using all the money they have looted from the treasury to achieve their aim.

Na your village Saraki and Obi go rule.

You and I know that APC as a party lacks internal democracy. If you agree that ACN and CPC blocs are domineering, you are indirectly accepting that the interest of the smaller integral units are being eroded. Even the so-called consensus is a sheer imposition and not true to it's name. It's being piloted by a few actors from CPC bloc. That APGA and nPDP are silent does not translate to being properly represented. But like you said, it's still the human society.

There can't be balance in any human system

The word isn't domineering but dominant. It is unrealistic that the the nPDP and APGA elements in the APC will get equal amount of 'consideration'. The stakes obviously aren't the same. You know this.

The Isokos want to lead Delta state. So, do the Opobos, Okpes, Kalabaris, Okuns, Ijaws, Idomas and countless other small ethic groups, in different states where they are minorities.

In the advanced democracies, they call it the 'establishment' or something. The Bidens of this world have been in leadership for ages. You know this. Is that what democracy is all about? Macron was lucky to have emerged from outside the establishment. Same with Trump, who was sent packing, as quickly as possible. World governance systems are human creations with inherent flaws.

Consensus candidacies are strategies for minimizing foreseeable internal wrangling and tensions that could cause political parties to implode. Certainly, the nPDP and APGA elements will form part of the new party leadership, within the size of their stakes in the party. These stakes will grow with time, if the key actors continue to up their arts of politics.

That they are not being considered for the Chairmanship at the moment does not in any way erode their significance the union.

What sort of democracy does the US practice when for tons of decades, governance affairs has only been between the Democrats and Republicans? How could the interests of the other parties be made to bear on the nation with just two dominating the polity?

The problem of Nigeria are Nigerians
This man was arrested by the efcc for embezzling state funds intead of his people to call for his persecution,
They were shouting marginalization, witch hunting making all sorts of tribalistic remark .
I dey talk am Nigerians never ready to solve there problems

Oga, I am an Anambra man.

I have severally, on different fora, called for the prosecution of anyone who is alleged to have misappropriated or embezzled public funds, including Willie Obiano, and in future, Charles Soludo, and myself.

Anyone who claims to be from Anambra, and who tags this a witch-hunt or victimization, is an impostor. That individual is an enemy of Anambra state.

joey150:
You cannot solve mass transportation in an already congested and overpopulated city like Lagos by sharing "uber taxis."

What do these silly politicians see when they travel abroad?

Don't they see an urban bus and ticketing system?

Don't they see dependable overhead and underground train systems?

Don't they see ferries and inland waterways transportation?

Are you going to convey all of Lagos in those cars? Adding even more traffic to an already congested city? If anything, a forward thinking government would be thinking of ways to get more cars off the roads of Lagos than more cars on it.

Apart from the fact that the money for most of those cars will never be recouped, this ride taxi scheme is a white elephant project that was established to enrich a few government officials by way of bogus contracts and free cars.

I really think mass transportation should be the priority for Lagos...not means that can only take 1 - 5 passengers, thereby putting more vehicles on the roads, and further crippling the economy by aggravating manhour losses.

This isn't fantastic for me, at all.

newhyt:
Something doesn't sound right about this Buhari's order.

In most countries that run democracy, like the U.S. that we copy from, the party chairman is the cheif negotiator of any coalition agreement. We have almost forgotten that the 2015 aggrieved APGA faction and the New PDP are part and parcel of the present day APC.

To avoid bad blood within the party, since the ACN and CPC blocs are evenly domineering, I think whatever consensus decision the party is making ought to be mutually agreed upon.

In the absence of a sitting chairman, the negotiation should be the job of internal working committee and BoT in lieu of executive order.

Could you come again?

Do you have any proof that the nPDP and APGA factions were not part of the ongoing engagements?

As for the dominance by the ACN and CPC blocs, that will continue to linger for a long time. It is only natural as the two blocs truly represent the soul of the coalition. We all know this.

Worse politics go on even in the advance countries that practice democracy, including the US. Let's not be deceived. At the end of the day, what we have are human societies.

Sirheny007:
If Tinubu can decode....
Better step down now to avoid humiliation.

Tinubu isn't contesting for any party position.

Elections within parties are usually better when driven by consensus to keep the party strong and united.

I understand your angle with Tinubu though. I think the right thing is to allow him his right to contest, that is the least anyone could do.

Nonsense.
NO BE WHO CHOP BELEFUL THEY TRAVEL INTERNATIONAL.
The ediot has succeded in grinding this country to fullstop. Nothing dey work anymore. NA TERMINAL WE GO CHOP?

Don't let poverty ruin you completely.

If you see these airports abroad now, you go dey hail them....hungry people no dey abroad?

Ludsam:
It occurred that you are currently daydreaming. Maybe illusions.

Lame grammar!

'It occurred' indeed.

Ndi akwukwo..! haputawa!

Beedude:
Not bad

For me, Buhari remains Nigeria's best president.

I can challenge anyone on this with tangible facts.

LeoDeKing:
Whenever I see pmb, I always think about curses being hurled at him by ipob pigs and each time, I keep thinking if those curses are not boomeranging.

Because he always look healthy while same clowns always cursing him appear very miserable to the point of stealing onions and pots of soup.

I think it as innocence.

Nothing can be as powerful as innocence.

People can hurl insults and curses all they want.

What I know, even as an Anambra man, is that no president has performed better than Buhari.

Anyone who thinks otherwise should provide proof in projects, programs and policies.

They keep yapping about rising food and fuel costs, which are current, serious global issues. Abi na Buhari dey rule the whole world?

Malory:
Since I was born I haven't heard that president of America is commissioning new airport terminal or a newly built factory. Buhari can do better

And what is the crime in a president commissioning a project?

At least there are now visible projects to be commissioned.

Nigeria isn't the same as the US. They are two different countries.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Violence all the time..why can't you report the station to the legal authority..
This is so bad..

That is fast becoming what the SS/SE regions are known for, violence.

Why would any serious investment happen there?

PrinceOfLagos:
Home of billionaires

How the igbos became so successful despite not holding unto presidency shock me

The word successful is relative. There is no tribe in Nigeria that isn't successful.

Kindly name just 3 individuals from Oba that are billionaires?

It is this 'worship' for inexplicable 'economic successes' that is destroying our society. This is what fuels the craze for money at all costs.

Besides, don't be deceived by the aerial pictures, Oba is just like most other towns in Nigeria. No be Oba wey I go less than two weeks ago? Abi e get another one?

perambulator:
. Have you taken your medicine this morning? Or is it nepa worrying you? You talk as if Nigeria still has the capacity to produce anything but discredited leaders? Who amongst our leaders is not engrossed in scandal, theft, embezzlement, murder. Drug dealing, forgery etc etc. All our leaders are crooks and thugs because they are a reflection of society. Examine your own life first before you start pointing fingers.

I am not a fan of PDP, and I have never and will never vote PDP, I did not vote for Buhari either in both elections because I remmember he was a colossal failure in 1984. I simply made an unemotional analysis on PDPs best chances in the elections. in any event who are you to talk? As for intelligence Although I am no fan of Wike, he has shown more intelligence that you have in your post. All your so called gentlemen politicians, he was the one intelligent enough to challenge the illegality of VAT, which will go down as one of the most profound decisions in Nigeria!

The problem with people like you social media warriors is you are so arrogant you are detached from reality, you talk of quality of leadership do you participate in the process that produces the candidates, are you a card carrying party member? Have you seen the people who do and are party members?. People like Wike are in touch with reality so they win elections! People like you become lifetime internet moaners. You wishes mean nothing of you take no action to wrestle power from the people you call thugs…..it’s just BS virtue signaling and of no consequence except to make you feel intelligent…. But the intelligent people are the drivers, thugs, market women etc who engage at the grassroots level, are party members and participate in primaries and hence determine your leaders!!!! The irony huh?

Sometimes just read and STFU if you have nothing meaningful to contribute! The problem with the so called educated Nigerian is that he feels his certificate confers him intelligence, he feels superior but if he were to really analyze Nigeria he would realize the dumbest people in Nigeria are the average educated middle class Nigerians who are ruled by people they call thugs and can’t even afford to send their children to the schools they attended.

You must be brain dead to have written this lengthy nonsense.

No sane person would use Wike and the word intelligent in one sentence.

How was Buhari a collosal failure in 1984? Mtchewww. You clearly are a senseless talkative. How can anyone even rationalize or connect all the nonsense you wrote to make any sense?

I am not surprised that you believe everyone in Nigeria is condemned like you. Oga, I am not your problem o. You obviously are sick.

AstraDroid:
That is actually the best choice. He'd need the experience of a Mayor of London on how to run Anambra.

Nobody needs any sort of London experience to fix Anambra.

The bad roads are visible for even the blind to see. The markets aren't properly structured. Revenue collection is shrouded in corruption. The healthcare and educational systems need serious attention, including security, sanitation and human capital development.

There is so much work to be done. I just hope Soludo gets things right.

cazchi:
Joe Igbokwe cannot even walk the streets of Onitsha unescorted.

And how is that something to be proud of?

Is this what Biafra is all about?

perambulator:
He knows it is going to the north and he is hoping Atiku will pick him

No matter who PDP choose they face a tough battle. Personally I think Obi is a liability even as VP. PDP should go with Wike or Makinde as VP.

PDP esp SE People will abuse me but the purpose of a vp is to win you votes in areas where you are not strong or encroach into opposition heartland. Obi did not win Atiku any new votes aputside SE last time and he even got less votes in SE than Jonathan therefore he was a liability to Atiku. SE are not voting for APC combine that with fact that Obi actually scored less votes in SE for PDP than Jonathan, he is an electoral liability. That is what the numbers say and let’s not forget at the end of the noise and sentiment, elections are about nothing but NUMBERS!

Another major problem Ibos have politically is that they have migrated and spread themselves around the country so much, that they do not have the voting numbers back home to be a significant and desirable electoral bride and they are too thinly spread across the country to affect the outcomes of election where they reside. Even their population in Lagos is not yet enough to significantly affect the Lagos elections. In places where it is they are intimidated by the locals.

You must be a big fan of thuggery to have named Wike as a possible VP of Nigeria.

Anybody who truly loves Nigeria won't imagine an unintelligent and thuggish fellow as VP in the Nigeria of today. Infact, the pairing should never be anything short of what we currently have.

What do you take the position VP for? You want us to end up with another Jonathan-like figure?

abobote:
That won't still change our love for you.
Tinubu like any other Nigerian has a right to contest, and my only happiness is whether Tinubu or Atiku, any of them that wins will is better than Buhari.
Buhari is the worst thing to happen to any country

I disagree with you.

Buhari has done well.

Name any past leader and attach their accomplishments, and let's see who performed better than him.

But like they say, talk is cheap. People are entitled to their opinions.

Nwodosis:
Make them no do this man wetin them do Peter Odili o.

They should do to him whatever they like.

All he has in his possession is public fund that was looted.

Infact, I would like a situation where all politicians that have hugely looted our treasury come out to vie for the presidency.

They should all come and let's have some of the funds they looted slip back into the economy, somehow.

9gerian:
No it’s not. Rising energy costs affects everything everywhere.

When we dey talk am, dem go dey call Buhari up and down.

It is indeed a trying time for everyone in the world.

No matter where you are.

lexy2014:
According to u Jonathan failed to fix roads, bridges and railways. You have the links for your ASSESSMENT. Whether the are from backyard media outlets or front yard media outlines, how does it negate the info they provided? Can u kindly prove that information provided in the links are wrong?

Why wouldn't u answer me on alpha beta? Don't u know the answer to the question?

What has the report being in 2015 got to do with this present administration?

Once again, what is the standard of living in Nigeria now compared to the Jonathan era?

Buhari completed the Ogbia Regional Water project. Several airports have been given facelifts and upgraded, including the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu.

Buhari will be commissioning the 2nd Niger Bridge.

Have you heard of Bonny-Bodo Bridge project; Warri-Itakpe Railway; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Highway etc.

Those are the reports.

No government goes about feeding it populace daily...so, I don't know what you mean by standard of living. Was Jonathan feeding Nigerians as president?

Agbegbaorogboye:
And you who is filled with lies have something to say? Have you seen the cook or the driver that are supposedly Christians before? You can see that Femi stylishly "relied" on Tam David West as his source. Do you mean in the 7 years Femi has been with Buhari he has not come across the cook and driver to give us their names? Mind you, I'm talking about BEFORE he became President oh, not after.

Buhari's cook or driver does not have to be Christian for him not to be a bigot.

Is Femi Adeshina a Muslim? Must it be the cook or driver?

VladimirPutiin:
I think Arthur Eze is behind this. He has never liked Obiano. And Arthur Eze is very close to this present government.

Big lie!

Arthur Eze didn't have to like Willie Obiano for him to perform.

Obiano did not do well as governor. That is the truth.

The business climate in Anambra was stifled with worthless APGA politics. No level playing field anywhere. Revenue collection contracts were grossly not transparent. It was total recklessness!

Even the airport jobs were given out as slots to politicians and cronies.

He was a disaster in government. Coming from someone who had been based in a clime where things worked, I am most disappointed.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Obiano performed and we in Anambra proud of his achievements.After interrogation he would be released soon.No cause for alarm.

Oga, Obiano built the airport, convention center and a few other infrastructures. Yes...but Obiano did not perform well as governor.

I am an Anambra man. He could have done way more. His leadership was lackluster to say the least. There was a lot of financial recklessness by key members of his administration, including those in the state assembly.

Agbegbaorogboye:
So what is the morale of the story

He even started the story with a week rehashed lie.

Can you show us the Christian cook?

This is empty....think of something else to say.

jyz200:
Interesting but I’m not impressed

Who cares that you aren't impressed?

That one na your business na...

No being has ever succeeded in impressing everyone.

jerseyboy:
Your time is winding down Adesina, and that is great news for humanity. What awaits you will shock you.

Nothing will shock or happen to him.

Any open minded Nigerian knows that Buhari is a good man.

Femi only stated it as it is.

lexy2014:
Why wouldn't u answer me on alpha beta? Don't u know the answer to the question?

What has the report being in 2015 got to do with this present administration?

Whether u are from mars or Jupiter isn't the problem. The question is simple: what is the standard of living in Nigeria now compared to the Jonathan era?

Your assessment was about Jonathan and u categorically said he didn't do anything. the links provided are there for you to assess and negate

Tell me his projects? Simple!

The standard of living in Nigeria or elsewhere has never being 'fantastic' at anytime, for everyone at a go.

Those links you provide are from 'backyard' media outlets. They hold no water.
