This simply means PDP will not field any candidate in the next elections because the court cases will still be on up to the Supreme Court.

Kukutente23:
Who are the state executives of the party
Who do they belong to

+
I dunno but there is the national leadership still and there is the president now of the same party. Even if as you claim Wike remains in charge, it just can't be as absolute as was hitherto the case. That's just impossible in the APC.

Kukutente23:
Nothing like that
You guys are falling for the hype
He's still in charge

+
It can't be the same. He simply can't exercise the same control over an APC Governor as he did over a PDP one.

Name the VIP.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kukutente23:
Not really
They still need him around till after 2027
The shocker will be after 2027 when he himself will learn a bitter lesson except he has no further ambitions

+
I suppose so.
But wings have clearly been clipped.

Kukutente23:
Why are you so interested
Is there any news there
The only thing of note there is that Wike is carrying out an unsolicited which means all his public bravado is just a facade. The man is a weakling. He's not in a partnership or association with Tinubu. He's not even higher than the average agbadeau in the scheme of things.
One would have thought there's a concrete mutual agreement or understanding between the two men!!

+
Looks like the dude's time in the sun is drawing to a close.

Ttalk:
That one weak me too o. How can you execute contract of 1m dollars and still retain 1million dollar, no be juju be that?

+
As someone said what if it was a contract for advisory services?

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus began ruling in heaven since 1914 and of course several prophecies has been unfolding ever since then whether you believe it or not that's the absolute truth!🙂

+
So what happened in all the other years mentioned.

adioolayi:
" when Wike volunteered to hold the PDP for Tinubu against 2027"

I listen to the media chat, Gov Makinde went further to say, the shocking part was that President Tinubu didn't make the request....It was Wike that willingly said it..not even part of discussions.

So, you will have to excuse Tinubu on this

+
Pls can you drop a link to the chat.

AMINDA:
Unfortunately, the Lagos GAC have placed him on a media embargo, which is one of the worst things that have been done to Wike.

+
Is this real?

Good morning Nairalanders. Merry Christmas and a prosperous happy new year in advance to each and every one of us here

My girlfriend called me last night to request for money for Christmas hair. She knows I'm presently broke and doesn't have the amount of money she's demandingly for. So I told her to go and cut her hair . She took that as an offense and been angry with me since the conversation started. She has been demanding for 30knfor hair and 80k for clothes for the Christmas. To make the whole matter Worst,she told me the relationship may end along with 2025 if I fail to provide the money for her. Those words have been ringing in my head since she dropped them ,but I'm confused and I don't know if that's enough reason to end a relationship of over 3 years+ which we've suffered to build together,all because of ordinary Christmas hair and clothes . Is she normal at all?

Please my fellow Nairalanders, should I consider this as a red flag and dump her cos I don't think I've done anything wrong to her by asking her to cut her hair . She even looks more prettier on low hair cut ,from her look during the last time she cut her hair

+
Dump immediately.

Jakumo:
I share your distrust of France's African agenda, yet if things in Nigeria got worse with terror and slave-raiding attacks spreading further than they already have, I'd still consider France the lesser of two evils IF they at some point turned out to be the only industrialized nation offering Nigeria military assistance, which they are not so far, thankfully.

+
I will only again remind you of their antecedents in the Sahel. To say that it was a disaster would be an understatement but worse, it was evidently a premeditated and deliberate disaster. Surely, no sensible state can look at that record and ever invite them in.

Mind you, as Machiavellian as the UK is, their model of handling former colonies and their approach has always been vastly more respectful than that of France, which at all times sought to enslave its former colonies and even today still holds most of them economically captive.

MaxInDHouse:
Of course advancement in technology was slow before 1914, war equipments also were limited, and founders of churches were limited until the demons were sent out of heaven {Matthew 24:11} but as for the millions of years are you saying all what your people have been claiming are false?
And the fossils whether you accept it or not there were no creatures with such things demons arranged them to cause CONFUSION!🙂

+
You still hold on to this 1914 myth after JWs have tied failed predictions to several different years including 1874, 1914, 1918, 1925 and 1975?

Jakumo:
Ironically Russia is currently hiring black Africans to join the military and be fed into the meat grinder Ukraine war. Quite a few Ghanaian citizens were recently captured and interviewed on camera by Ukrainian forces. They were of course the lucky ones who were not spotted by kamikaze drones at the war front.

As you rightly observe, if the mighty Russian Bear is not too proud to beg for outside military help, then the recent military pact between Nigeria, the UK and the USA to jointly fight Islamist terror in Nigeria before it gets out of hand, is praiseworthy and welcomed by all who love peace.

+
At least you left out the forever disgraced and implicated France this time.

AMINDA:
He fumbled. At least, if you want to pivot from muslim-muslim in 2023 to Southern agenda in 2027 then do it properly. The hate and vitriol from his base against the SE has also reduced in the past few days, having seen the handwriting on the wall. He sealed his fate by convicting Nnamdi Kanu, something even Buhari kept stalling on. Maybe he thought it will make the North love him again, despite the treachery. It didn't.

+
Some think he may pardon him as a political gambit.

budaatum:
I simply disagree until the "credible evidence" is presented to be seen by me.

You are free to, and I have no duty to bring it to you or present it to you.

Jakumo:
Jakumo, the African Civet cat, is regarded in Yoruba mythology as an elusive and shadowy creature of the night with ambiguous morality that never strolls about during daylight hours.

Jakumo kii riin l'osan (Jakumo never goes walking by daylight)
Eni a bii re, kiin rin l'oru. (People of good rearing never venture out in the dead of night )

As one who has hunted deep in the swampy African rain forest gliding silent canoes amid the swirling black currents of rivers at night where the eyes of crocodiles reflect bright red along the shoreline, I never once encountered the fabled Jakumo Civet Cat, so that mystery and elusiveness inspired be to adopt the nom-de-plume of Jakumo twenty years ago when Oga Seun first created the Nairaland online discussion forum.

+
Most interesting. You are a most interesting fellow.

I had actually thought it was Japanese (Yakumo)/ Eight Clouds. Or related to "Kokumo" a Yoruba prayer for an Abiku child to stop dying.

Jakumo:
My final offer is 100 million Zimbabwe dollars. The Oracle assures me that I am the caliber of man pikin who can write opinions using this name.

+
I have always meant to ask about the inspiration for your moniker though. Pray tell.

budaatum:
Sorry, but I can see other grains of sand on earth and don't have to create imaginary grains of sand to convince oneself there's more than one grain of sand on earth. I have however never seen nor come across any credible existence for a single extraterrestrial, and think it absurd to create any just just to convince myself they must exist.

My own mind does not work that way, and if I try to convince it to accept such reasoning it will look at me in contempt and tell me to go do one on myself.

In fact, I consulted my mind (after letting it know it's just an experiment and not for real least it thinks I'm being serious), and it told me to go create a billion pounds in my bank account while I'm at it, because its absurd of me not too since the money in my bank account is not the only money that can exist! Its response didn't make sense, but I think that's precisely its point.

+
There is credible evidence.
Agree to disagree.

basilico:
He told Mamdani to call him a fascist.

Reporter: "Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?"
Zohran Mamdani: "I've spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide, and I have spoken about our government funding it. And I shared with the president in our meeting about the concern that many New Yorkers have..." (Mamdani initially started to answer by discussing other topics and their meeting's focus).
Donald Trump: (Interrupting and patting Mamdani on the arm) "That's OK. You can just say yes. Okay? It's easier. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind."

Looks like you don't understand jokes.

+
Don't be silly, that statement, if you actually know of it, was no joke.

basilico:
Calling him an imperialist is making an excuse for him?
Wannabe Hitler who is being ordered by Obama judges right left and centre ? Hitler respected the judiciary?
Trump only has 10 US attorneys out of 90 plus confirmed so far by Senate after 330 days because he is a dictator.

+
I said wannabe. He is on record admiring Hitler.
Let's discuss his actions in Venezuela.

basilico:
Im not his spokesperson, but I can also call it a diversion.

+
Never short of excuses for the wannabe Hitler. Later you will say its another genius move.

budaatum:
"Unquestionably", by or for you Deep, but I can't say I have such barriers that would make it unquestionable for me.

That said, the universe is very large, so it would be irrational to assume ours is the only planet with forms that could be classified as living and existing, but equally absurd, without evidence, to assume other lifeforms do or must exist.

+
Nope.

They do and they must once you understand the size of the universe.

It will be as absurd as claiming one grain of sand on Earth is the only grain of sand.

IronGalaxy:
Lol, you hammer a point forever with these ones... they don't seem to grasp a concept from the word "go".. yesterday, I spent the whole day explaining and arguing about what a "coloured" person is.. and even at that they were still disputing my explanation.. this forum is exhausting

+
Perhaps on account of different meanings in the USA and SA.
But people exposed to both meanings should understand.

The people with sense know a Democratic hack job when they see one

As though you have an iota of it, well perhaps that of a ram.

LordReed:
My problem with the aliens in such pictures is they always seem to be humanoid. That says to me the human mind is so conceited that it always imagines the universe in its own image. Why do the creators of these pictures like to imagine the aliens are humanoid? Why do we think they couldn't be like orcas or elephants or even spiders?

+
This is such a perfect thought. I think it all the time. Indeed in the vastness of the universe, there must be more shapes than we can even imagine. There is something Shakespare wrote -

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,/Than are dreamt of in your philosophy” (Hamlet, 1.5. 165–66).

However the counter to this from UFOlogists, is that humans were created by extra terrestrials in their image and that this is probably the origin of the religious notion that man was created in the image of God.

If the Persian state is building an Army of terrorists to destroy the only Jewish state, the Persian state must seize to exist or be corrected with brute force.

+
If the Jewish state is building an Army of terrorists to destroy the only Persian state, the Jewish state must cease to exist or be corrected with brute force.

You see?

I just reversed your own statement to you.

I only corrected "seize" with "cease."

Besides don't miss the point. In everything you guys try to make Israel special. You said "the only Jewish state in the world." As though they are the only tribe to be unique to one country. I was happy to show you that the very enemy you talk about has that same uniqueness.

LordReed:
Bro I don't think this is real. I think aliens may exist but I don't think we have encountered them.

+
For me, extra terrestrials unquestionably exist, the sheer size of the universe renders that not just likely but virtually inescapable.

However images like the one in the OP are probably just hype and popularized UFO culture.

Although I must hasten to add that similar images have been found in ancient art throughout the world. And when I say throughout I mean throughout.

vdestro:
He did nothing fetish. It is you who went all fetish showing us exactly who you truly are.

Oh wow! What a sight.

The breeze has blown and your pretence has blown wide open.

You are a failure as an atheist and what you really really are is a fetishist. And even at that you are still a failure.

+
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I doubt you know where this started.

This is my very first post on the subject in reply to him -

https://www.nairaland.com/8580399/after-burning-us-hell-what/11#137788133

The chap said that Yahweh said no mind can conceive what he has in store for those that hate him (he was defending the idea of hellfire). I produced the correct verses namely one in the NT which quoted one in the OT. And they only said that no one can conceive what he has in store for those that love him. I was actually defending a god I dont believe in from his accusations that that god spoke about the torture he has prepared in hellfire.

He completely misquoted the scripture into saying the reverse. For that alone he began to curse me invoking the earth, sea and air. When I join in his silly behavior in sarcasm, you then call me fetish. How funny.

Not that I give a rats arse anyway. Think what you like.

Jakumo:
It is a vicious circle. Religious zealotry breeds illiteracy, while illiteracy encourages further religious fanaticism. Once trapped inside that hopeless vortex of self-inflicted profound ignorance, there can no escape from poverty which is the primary precursor of criminality.

+
Islam however is a danger and menace to civilization.

Jakumo:
When I requested Genital Empowerment from a beautiful woman I was meeting for the first time recently, she informed me that her brother is a short-tempered police officer who happens to enjoy flogging the usual suspects as a form of sporting exercise.

This regrettable exchange led me to consider that the term "Genital Empowerment" could be misunderstood, and should therefore be changed to a name that is less prone to triggering wahala that could even cost man pikin his freedom or life.
