Peter Obi might have agreed to vice Atiku without carrying his supporters along.

Peter Obi himself knew the ADC was arranged by Atiku for his political ambition. He had enough time to think it through before eventually joining

Hmmm that is POssible, but would he dare go against the Obidents that hyped him to messiah status? He would be completely useless as vice without his cult followers.

Would he leave ADC? Will sunken cost fallacy allow him to do that? Will pride allow him to go back to Labour or PDP?

Perhaps he will defect to APC as a last revenge move.

Switruth:
Make una leave Peter Obi alone na

No, his music is far too sweet for me

What if ADC doesnt give him ticket which is looking very likely, what next?

Its funny how when Buhari abducted that terrorist and set him up for trial, the usual rabble came out, accusing the court of unfair illegal practice, the words on all the terrorist's lawyers lips was 'extraordinary rendition'.

But its funny how that same rabble now praise and celebrate Trump for doing a far more heavier version of the same thing - to a sitting President, with much less evidence.

So is Maduro's upcoming trial extraordinary rendition or can we all agree it is okay?

US was in Afghanistan for 20 years fighting Islamic terrorists but yet it accomplished nothing and eventually they pulled out in disgrace...

The same Trump that led the pullout is the same one claiming to care about Nigerians.

he thinks he is driving in UK

Your asking the wrong questions

If you want Biafra you must invest in manufacturing and agriculture maybe security.

Majority of Igbos outside the southeast are traders either wholesale or retail, and so its impossible for them to live in the Southeast even if Biafra were created they would not be in the southeast.

Otti visited because Nnamdi Kanu is from his state and also to mark register so the unknown IPOB men know he was here

India with extremely high rape and forced marriage is number 5

I understand Norway though

Two things will happen to this Yerima in the coming months

A) He will be killed or imprisoned

B) He will become promoted

When you see the media hyping someone like this just know these are the two options awaiting that person.

2face is clearly at fault here, how can you be having issue with every woman in your life.

I feel zero sympathy for him, he is very lucky he is Nigerian not American.

Let him not run, old man behaving like a teen.

Just tell us say they want comot food for your mouth

Comotin food from people's mouth is always a deadly game even more deadly when those people have guns.

Obasanjo inherited a very corrupt system, he got in after more than 20 years of corrupt military rule and soldiers were itching for any 'flaw in democracy' so they can take back power, how do you expect him to fix the country overnight?

The fact that Nigeria is still a democracy is a testament to the skill of Obasanjo, i don't think even MKO would have lasted long without being overthrown.

Try putting yourself in the shoes of the average police officer...

You worked as an officer for 5 years before landing a VIP post, while you worked for 5 years you earned meagre salaries while risking your life while at the same time receiving nothing but insults and disrespect from the general public and also some security officers (soldiers).

Then you got posted to a VIP, now, you make more money, take less risk and receive more respect due to your proximity to the VIP. All of a sudden they ordered you to leave that nice juicy VIP position in order protect that general public that despised you, to tackle the criminals that those proud and mighty soldiers were far too incompetent to handle, for some strange reason people think this will solve anything.

He wouldn't. Child support would have humbled him.

very true

If 2baba was American he would have been cancelled long time ago

steadygo:
The development of the countries you listed can’t seriously be explained by they abolishment of monarchy. Their wealth and power come from things like early industrialization, access to global trade . Also, in the case of the western world much of their wealth is due to imperialism; slavery, colonial extraction as well as the resources they are able to get cheap today.

In fact, much of the military and industrial capacity that allowed for European imperialism was built while those states were still in monarchies. Britain, France and others developed their ships, guns and financial systems under kings and emperors, and used them to dominate global trade and colonise other regions. Germany’s core industrial boom happened under the Kaiser. Russia’s 19th-century industrialization was driven by the Tsarist state. France also had major economic and infrastructure growth under regimes like the Second Empire.

The United States started as a British colonial extension under a king. They later grew rich as a republic but after already inheriting industrialization from Britain and still relied heavily on slavery, and as native land seizure, and unequal integration into the world economy. China's industrialization is different and more modern, it followed the industrialization model of the western world so it doesn't take away from the larger point.

I don't put this down to at all defend slavery, imperialism or colonization but only to show that the historical record doesn't support the idea that abolishing monarchy automatically causes development. Many states built their power under monarchies and only later changed their regime type.

I partially understand your point but i disagree

Russia was very backward compared to the rest of Europe, but after the Tsar was overthrown it actually led to rapid industrialization that placed Russia and Soviet Union on par with the USA, that industrialization could have never happened under the Tsars.

USA was created for the very sole purpose of escaping the limitations of a monarchy society, limitations like one prince inheriting very large estates, estates that would otherwise have been used for agriculture or manufacturing but under monarchy it becomes a symbol of influence and power; being barred from certain places and opportunities simply because you didnt possess the right honorific; waging a war every time a King dies etc

China under Qing dynasty seriously stagnated and this led to the century of humiliation, China had to abandon monarchy and learn somethings from USA.

Germany's industrial boom didnt happen under the Kaiser, it happened under Otto Von Bismarck.

France industrial global peak began during the French revolution and Napoleonic era.

You made a point that the industrial capacity was already in those countries before they overthrew the monarchy, this is true but in those countries of high industrial capacity you'll find out that the monarchy was severely weakened to the point of being a status ceremonial symbol because the monarchy system by itself is usually opposed to industrial capacity and merely tolerates it when it becomes unavoidable.

The very idea of being a king is that you are born with a special and greater destiny than everybody else, how do you reconcile the principle of democracy and equality with such an idea?

How do you promote industrial capacity in a society where any work aside from warfare and politics is seen as degrading, fit for peasants and slaves?

How can a country know its industrial capacity if it doesnt eliminate certain parasitic elements from its society?

He hasnt even been in prison for two weeks and you guys are hyping him

Its like you guys don't understand the meaning of LIFE imprisonment.

The inmates will treat him as a boss naturally because they know that they might leave prison one day and return to still find him there, he is their senior in prison terms.

USA, Russia, China, Germany and France all abolished monarchy, these countries became even more developed as a result and you want us a developing country to embrace it?

And who told you a King dedicates his life to rule the people in a monarchy? The king's viziers rule the people, the king mostly does nothing but pretend to be a god.

And what happens when the king dies? Then every single son-distant relative he has will start vying for the throne along with their courts and favourites.

Nigeria needs to abandon ALL traditional systems, South South, West, East or North

I saw someone using differentiation to calculate his odds of winning/losing in sportybet and checking out the best winning strategy, i didnt understand a thing but i know it is possible.

People were bowing down before him, he is a God in his head.

Don't worry he's very handsome and fresh, Dongoyaro and Jubril will love him.

I talk am, when women are having relationship issues they will always look for a young handsome mugu to make their lightning rod.

On one hand the lightning rod makes the actual lover jealous and apologetic, on the other hand they blame the lightning rod for all their relationship problems.

I Pity Piter Okoye.

Ekejoestar:
God bless you so much 4 dat last statement, if he truly wanted the best 4 d south east, I believe dat there were better ways to achieve dat, his popularity is enormous and enough to make him to lock down the SE politically from governorship down to local govt chairman,

an adage says that charity begins at home, he has all it takes to control who becomes who in the south east in terms of governance but I guess he thinks in another way, had he done that it would have been more easy for him to get backups in the senate and HOR, he doesn't have to be a lone voice in the struggle.

Nigeria is so complex and tribalized, and we are no longer afraid of violence, I still maintain it that the sure way to get biafra is the political way instead of repeating 67-70 and expecting different result,

Nnamdi Kanu is a bad politician and would have made an unstable terrible leader. Hitler tried to bulldoze his way to power in Munich once that failed he calmed down and played proper politics and won. Imagine a whole Hitler being smarter and strategic than Nnamdi Kanu with all his modern education.

I disagree that Nnamdi Kanu supporters are poor people, on the contrary it is the rich that are supporting Kanu.

People who are very used to doing what they like, now they want their own Kingdom where they can oppress proper.

One thing is very clear here: No Igbo man or woman will have peace if MNK does not regain his freedom, and ala Igbo will NEVER be the same again.......

This sounds like a naked threat, Police should do the needful and investigate Obi Cubana.

Nwaiyoo:
Which judiciary be that? Nigeria judiciary is a puppet of the executive. When Nnamdi Kanu was telling them, "you don't know the law'' he knows what he was saying. But, one day it will reach your turn to see what MNK saw. It's that day you will cry your own cry, by then it will be too late for you.

Maybe he shouldnt have dismissed his legal team, maybe he should have behaved himself after his first pardon, maybe he should have just ran for office instead of terrorism (he is popular enough), maybe maybe.

This trend of allowing terrorist and criminals to go scot free due to optical-political considerations began with Aguiyi Ironsi not executing the Jan 14 coup plotters, then it extended to Gowon not executing the pogrom plotters, then it extended to the Federal Government pardoning and accepting the secessionist leaders and continued from there (Tompolo, Asari Dokubo etc)

But thanks to yesterdays ruling, its clear that the door has officially been shut. Terrorism will no longer be tolerated and Nnamdi Kanu case shall serve as precedence for all future trials involving terrorism and inciting hate speech.

Even now, many people havent come to terms with the ruling, they still believe there's a way out for him, this is the more reason why the door must stay firmly shut.

This is a sign of hope of proper trials in the future.

pdppower:
Fulani terrorist 20 years imprisonment. Nnamdi Kanu freedom fighter, life imprisonment. Fulani are indeed the owners of Nigeria.

20 years each on three count
15 years on one count

= 75 years

Nigeria isnt smiling with terrorist any more

Modified:

I didnt pay attention to the 'concurrent' which means only the longest sentence would be served.

Anyways he was probably a foot soldier not the commander in chief

Hope they don't send him to one fancy prison or a prison in the East.

Because this country sef

He would get 5 - 8 years in prison

Nigeria is not smiling for terrorist lately.
