Only adult Nigerians with primary, or secondary school level understanding of Nigerian politics, or just a plain biased person will even imagine for 1 second, that the incumbent President Tinubu will lose the 2027 general election to wandering political clowns like Abubakar Malu Atiku, & his boy Gringory Obi.
You have a bad mouth. See wetin you dey call person papa. If those Worshipers of that Agulu Messiah catch you, my hand is not dey ooo.
favor914: GEJ had done his 2 terms, that is the difference, we warned him Jonathan not to contest, but peeps like yourself with little, or no knowledge of how politics is conducted in Nigeria encouraged him to contest.
The rest they say is history .
I never knew you is a professor of politics. We re just learning sha.
aswani: I said something similar earlier, If President Tinubu simply folds his arms, regarding campaigning, from now till elections, he is winning at a canter.
We simply don't have an opposition worth its name.
The more Peter Obi opens his mouth near a microphone, the more mass face palming happens amongst Obidients, not even the general public.
As for Atiku, his own campaign style of making promises that he himself knows he can't keep might elicit laughter all over the land, however there is an inate danger in it.
The country suffered immensely with a PDP government that had no opposition, that meant a lot of PDP hyenas, who have no business in directing traffic as yellow fever, never mind being in government, held sway to wreck the economy.
We need a strong opposition. Atiku and Obi need to find common ground, even if they won't win, they need to scare APC away from the temptation of stagnancy which breeds corruption etc
There seem to be no danger. If anything, it allows for stability and continuity of policies. Don't you think so?
Sometime in 2025, when the cloud over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's possible re-election in 2027 was still darkened, and the word on the street and in social media spaces was that he was OTP (One Time President), a word was given that he was coming back in 2027.
Those who read didn't believe it, and those who chose to believe the messenger and his message had insulting words as responses.
But as the day fixed for the battle at the king's meat-field draws near, it is now glaring that Tinubu is the only man with a mandate to stand. And he is, in fact, standing on that mandate. He is more or less unopposed. His immediate opponents are his friends. And guess what? Some are campaigning like they are running for the seat of an SUG president, while the rest are yet to even start.
That is not even the meat of the gist. Now, let us consider some of the reasons why Tinubu is the best candidate for the job come 2027.
Firstly, Tinubu's extensive political experience is a significant advantage. Having served as the Governor of Lagos State, one of Nigeria's most economically vital regions, he has demonstrated effective governance and showcased his ability to manage complex administrative challenges.
His policies during his tenure contributed to significant infrastructural development and economic growth, earning him a strong and loyal support base.
Secondly, Tinubu's strategic alliances within the political landscape have strengthened his influence. His leadership within his political party, combined with his ability to forge and maintain coalitions across various regional and ethnic groups, positions him well to garner widespread national support. This ability to unify diverse constituencies is crucial in Nigeria’s multifaceted political environment.
Moreover, Tinubu's vision for Nigeria aligns with current public aspirations for stability, economic reform, and national unity.
His focus on addressing key issues such as insecurity, economic diversification, and corruption resonates with a broad segment of the electorate seeking pragmatic and decisive leadership.
Additionally, Tinubu's campaign infrastructure and grassroots mobilisation efforts are robust. His team has demonstrated effectiveness in mobilising supporters and ensuring strong voter turnout, which will be critical in securing a decisive victory.
Make I nor lie for you, considering his political track record, strategic alliances, visionary policies, and effective campaign machinery, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands a strong chance of winning the 2027 general elections.
dododawa1: Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to soldiers, policemen, customs and immigration personnel over his controversial remarks at the Nigerian Bar Association’s 66th Annual General Conference.
Otse, in a video shared on Friday, said he had reflected on his speech and realised that he was unfair to security personnel who were genuinely risking their lives to protect Nigerians.
The activist had, while speaking at the conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, described the military, police, immigration and customs personnel as “unknown gunmen” in his discussion on insecurity.
However, in Friday’s video, Otse said his remarks were not intended to accuse all security personnel of involvement in criminal activities.

“I don’t think I was fair to a lot of people, particularly the speech where I said that the military are the unknown gunmen, the police are the unknown gunmen, you know, the immigration, the customs.
I know exactly what I was trying to say because, I mean, I have evidence to back up my claim, but I wasn’t fair to a lot of people in that speech,” he said.
He said he was particularly concerned about soldiers fighting Boko Haram and other threats in the bushes.
That speech was not fair, especially to the soldiers that are in the bushes fighting Boko Haram to protect our lands, to protect our lives, and to protect our families.
“I don’t think it’s fair to say they are also the unknown gunmen, to be very honest, because these people have laid down their lives,” he said.
Otse said his intention was to draw attention to alleged corruption and sabotage by some personnel within the security agencies.
“My speech was not to discourage you.
My speech was entirely to talk about the bad eggs in our security operative, our security forces, is to put attention on the bad eggs, so that the leaders in these security settings will look inward and to see that sometimes information are being leaked and their own people are sabotaging them,” he said.
He, however, admitted that the way he presented his argument made it appear as though he was generalising.
But by passing that speech, like I said, it seems like I was generalising and it’s not fair to the fallen soldiers,” he said.
Otse subsequently apologised to the Chief of Defence Staff and the leadership of the security agencies.
“So I will go further to say to the Chief of Defence Staff, Sir, I really want to apologise for that speech, and I don’t want to discourage your boys.
“Please extend my apologies to your boys, to the ones that are in the bush protecting our lands,” he said.
He also apologised to the police, customs and immigration authorities, as well as the families of fallen security personnel.
“To the families of these heroes that might have also felt offended by this speech, knowing fully well that their brother, their sister, their son, their husband fought and died for this country, I am really, really sorry,” he said.
The activist maintained that there were still “a lot of good people” within the security agencies despite his allegations against some personnel.
Yes, a lot of bad eggs there, like I said, a lot of bad eggs, a lot of them are there.
A lot of corrupt generals, a lot of high-ranking police officers are corrupt, a lot of junior officers are corrupt, a lot of them are there. But there’s still a lot of more good people, a lot of more good people, and I know a lot of them,” he said.
Otse said he feared his comments could discourage a soldier fighting in the bush who came across the video.
“Imagine a soldier fighting in the bush and he watches VDM’s video, and he’s like, ‘Ah, VDM is one of us now, unknown gunman.’ That would discourage him, to be honest,” he said.
The activist, who has previously spoken about alleged misconduct by security personnel, said his relationship with some policemen had also exposed him to the challenges facing the force.
Me and police, we work steady. I give, sometimes I share police information, tell them, ‘Oh, this is what is happening here, please, can you intercept,” he said.
He urged security personnel who were genuinely protecting the country not to be discouraged by his comments.
“And please don’t be discouraged, please, please, don’t be discouraged.
We’re there behind you now, and we’ll always support you. You know, and we are part of this thing, security is for all of us,” he said.
Otse, however, maintained his warning to personnel allegedly involved in sabotage, arms supply and leaking information to terrorists.
“But then again, to the bad eggs, your days are numbered.
“To all of you in the military that are sabotaging and causing deaths to your officers, your days are numbered,” he said.
To all of you in the military that are sabotaging and causing deaths to your officers, your days are numbered,” he said.
The apology comes amid controversy over Otse’s appearance at the NBA conference, where his participation and comments generated criticism.
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, had rejected the defence of Otse’s role at the conference and called for experienced speakers to handle specialised discussions at the event.
Otse subsequently responded to critics by defending his invitation to the conference and explaining why he was invited to speak.
He later mocked the backlash by appearing in a lawyer’s wig and gown in a video.
His latest apology also comes after a separate controversy over his claims that some police officers at checkpoints allegedly pass information about wealthy travellers to kidnappers.
The police had challenged him to provide evidence for the allegation, while Otse responded by daring the authorities to charge him to court, saying he would present his evidence.
In Friday’s video, however, Otse stressed that his criticism of alleged misconduct should not be interpreted as hostility towards the security agencies as a whole.
I actually know more than the people I was trying to communicate with, so it was not really communicated properly,” he said.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to support security personnel genuinely fighting to protect the country.
“And to the patriots, to the heroes, to our fallen heroes that have died to protect this country… I am really, really sorry.
Keep on fighting for our beloved country, God bless all of you. We Nigerians are with you,” he said.
The most delusional set of people I have ever met in my life. To become an atheist is to have no believe, inclinations, faith or hope in anything. You can't even love or have a relationship. Why?
To have a relationship, you must have faith, hope, trust and believe that what the other person says or portrays is true.
Now, do most atheist have a relationship or are they in one form or elationship, business partnership of some sort?
Are they married?
What is the core or firm foundation of that arrangement?
VenExchangee: Lol, abi na genZ now they do am??

Host78: Sometimes you hear of people who slept and never woke up and today, i almost experienced the same thing and honestly, if i had not woken up the time i did, i am pretty sure it would have been a sad story.
so this morning i was very hungry. I didn't eat much yesterday night or during the day, so the hunger was very intense. you know those morning hunger that comes with torture na.
i then decided to cook something. my initial intention was to buy noodles (hungry man) and cook but when i got to the store, i saw macaroni and i just thought to myself, it has been long i ate macaroni o. so i bought it and came home to prepare it instead.
i cooked this with beans and everything. Honestly i made it better than i expected considering the lack of fish. and the money was like my last card.
but it was delicious anyways. so i ate a good portion from the food. i was filled but had to fetch a second servings for myself because i really enjoyed it.
that was the mistake i made. that second serving. my stomach began to pain me not so much to call it stomach ache. but just enough for me to be in distress.
so i said let me lie down. i placed my phone on a phone stand and lay belle flat on the floor with my face down on the pillow. Combined with the overfed belle, omo naso sleep carry me o. here only for me to wake up suddenly like 10 minutes later struggling to breathe.
I was shocked and confused at the same time and scared. very scared because my chest was burning, it's like the acid in my stomach all moved to my chest and lungs.
you know that pain that comes with something getting into your airway when you eating? that's exactly the kind of pains i was in. i could literally fill the food moving from my stomach back to my throat and almost in my mouth.
Till this evening i can still fill the taste in my mouth, my chest is still burning and i am still scared of going to eat the food even though i am currently very hungry.
sometimes, i just wonder, what if i hadn't woken up by the time i did? because the moment i woke up, i stood up and had to maintain that standing position for a while even though i was feeling dizzy and irritated. this helped to push the food down.
it took me a while to understand that i was regurgitating probably because i slept on a filled stomach. much like squeezing an air filled balloon, but in this case, the content of my stomach was been pushed out by the force of my weight on it against the ground.
honestly, the experience could have gone really bad because the food could have rushed into my lungs and caused severe respiratory distress with people coming it to find food acid rushing out of my mouth and nostrils
If you have it eaten for 10 hours or more, please don't start with chewable food.
smallsmall: This is good for COMEDY, because you are just speculating all over!
- Who sets the requirement that a Customer MUST submit Phone Number, NIN and BVN? - The Bank - Who insisted everyone must Register their SIM Number, to secure their Account? - Who manages the SIM Numbers, to ensure the safety and security? - The Telcos - Who manages the BVN and NIN - Government Agency
Did she actually STOPPED using the SIM or the Telco yanked her off it... and assigned it to another entity who then used it to defraud her? Since you cannot be the Accuser and the Judge, at the same time, your conclusion is just a JOKE.
I am speaking from experience. People lose their BVN SIM card and move on. Or due to past fraud they committed with the 1st BVN like unpaid loans, they register another SIM. Some travel out of the country without notifying their telecom company.
The terms and conditions for sim use is that the SIM remains the property of the issuer. If you must stop using your SIM for a period of time for any reason, you must inform them.
Also, you must inform your bank of any change in the mobile number linked to your bank account. Especially your BVN linked mobile number.
From experience, many travel or quit using their BVN SIM or get another BVN and simply move on without notifying the telecom or their bank.
Bank will keep private banking info and notifications to that BVN linked SIM in their database. Why?
Because that's your last known address.
If you don't notify your telecom that you might stop using the SIM after a while, it will be reassigned. Heaven won't fall because you agreed to this under the SIM issuing terms and conditions.
Lovelink1991: A lady who just came from Dubai has cried out for help after discovering that the N3m she has been saving since 2022 in her access bank has vanished from the account.
According to access bank that somebody has been withdrawing the money since 2024 and mtn has sold her line to another person.
The lady who revealed that her ₦3 million life savings disappeared from her Access Bank account broke down in tears while begging Nigerians for help, saying she was homeless in Dubai and sacrificed everything to save the money, only to return home to nothing 💔
She is about to become a very rich woman many will gladly say. It was an authorized transfer and the bank and telecoy are culpable others will also say. But let us consider the terms and conditons under whcih the bank account was opened. Espcially the adress and communication part.
Who submitted the phone number to the bank as a means of communication and identification? The account holder.
Who registered the SIM card, linked it to her personal private banking and identity package? The account holder.
Who stopped using the SIM card? The account holder.
Who had a duty to upgrade or update her new details from the bank and/or change/remove the phone number that was earlier linked to private banking details from the telecom's and bank's database, having stopped using the SIM so linked? The account holder.
Who failed/ refused/ negelected to update this vital information? The account holder.
Who is culpable and lacks the capacity to sue or win the case if she eventually sues? The account holder.
How has his/her self to blame? The account holder.
folake4u: It is not. I've seen cases in police station where the officers will gaslight the victim and asking stupid questions varying from "why you went to his house, why you wore what you wore, whether you enjoyed it ".
Hmmmm! All is fair in war joor.
Your goal as the prosecution is to convict and my destination is " discharge and acquittal". We is heading the opposite direction.
If you fear that an Olopa will do that, imagine for a moment what a litgator would do during cross, after being armed with legal and factual missiles
Na that time you go know why Peter denied Jesus in that hall.
Well! Taking a clue from Jago's postulations, it seems that this is that one in a hundred circumstance that you are between the devil and the deep blue sea that's laden with sharks.
That's when you will sing out desperately that the " lord is good". And join a Bible believing church.
Meanwhile, a litgator is a civil doctor comes into the scene and he/she would be able to decipher that there could have been discussions or some sort of an unwritten agreement leading to any form of an emergency opportunity to get intimate.
That's an interesting question to chase. And you might be shocked the answers you will get.
My point?
As long as you didn't kidnap her, there must be some form of consent and/or miscommunication that can be qualified as implied consent.
Capacity to consent et the reasonable man's test as per age guessing is another thing to consider. An entire class of it's own.
Remember that all these would be happening in a capacity as a cross examiner.
As a business person or someone looking to own and/or manage business for your self or others, there two key advisor you need.
These are business and legal adviser..
Hiring these adviser are valuable for 2 key reasons:
• Accurate Insights • Emotional Detachment
Accurate Insights:
It is true that most consultants are worthless; they either talk a lot and say nothing or tell you things you already know.
However, a minority are incredibly valuable; they will give insights that would never occur to you.
Emotional Detachment:
For whatever situations you face, you will inevitably be emotionally involved.
An adviser is valuable in that they can examine the situation you face while being perfectly dispassionate, since they are not personally involved in the matter.

energy37: The Governor is not qualified to say this. His late brother was one of the APC leader in Osun under which he represented Osun West in the Senate. Sen. Ademola Adeleke was the lead mascot that entertain people at APC rallies for many years with his dance.
But he is far better than the VDM in Edo State Govt House.
They are ready to take government from a governor who is doing nothing to promote and enhance the development and economic sector of the state. I’m coming in as the Governor of Osun come 15th August 2026.
