My question is, is the South East owed the presidency? If so, why?

Even the South East leaders that have established themselves nationally e.g Rochas, Ouk etc. Have berated their people several times for being antagonistic towards the center

Why should power brokers at the center consider a South East slot? The region has no bargaining power because they've made no maneuvers to be a part of the power game

your first response to my comment was that"if the SE want the presidency then they should fight for it" n I asked you to educate me on how the other zones had fought for the presidency they had enjoyed, instead of you to now brace up n answer me intelligently with fact you are just blabbing,most of you are just persons behind the crow completely devoid of reasoning or sound opinion, it's your likes in positions of authority that are destroying the country.

Why should they be handed it?

The northerners are just doing themselves if they think the only way y catch up with the south is by lowering the standard to ludicrous levels for their children,they are just shooting themselves in the foot, they shall continue to be left behind

Buckeyemedia1:
Food for thought, your Eastern Governors set up a Security outfit, 2 months later they claimed they don’t have money to fund it, yet not one responsible citizen asked them to publish & account for their statutory allocations from the Federal Government, or the yearly monies for security approved in the state budget, it was Buhari you & your like minded people started blaming, you want The President to come & remove peasant criminals in the forest of The Local Governments of your state, yet the State Governor is the custodian of the Land, collecting money for security every month? Yet Mazi Kanu was able to set up his own security outfit? Shame on you & your clueless Governors be waiting for President Buhari.

To you every one not supporting buhari is igbo,when the SW formed Ametokun did the federal government allow them to be armed,yes the governors are exploiting the loopholes in our lopsided system to enrich themselves but that doesn't change the position of the law making them only ceremonial chief security officers without real commanding power n inevitably helpless in handling security chalenges swiftly and effectively,the bulk still stop on your incompetent buhari's desk please don't be ashamed to admit his dismal failures.

Buckeyemedia1:
Did I write in Espanyol? Ask your useless state Governor to return the money, since he is not in charge of security, they should give the monies to the Local Governments directly let them protect themselves as needed. Local Governments also want their own country. Ijebu people want their own country from Egbas is it by force we must be one? Urhobos want their own country from Itsekiris, Esans also wants their own different country from the binis.

I never mentioned money, i talked about having the legal authority to command security personnel, is the so call security vote even constitutional?,educate me please, proof to me that the governors has the legal authority to command the security apparatus n I will glad go my governor's jugulars.

Buckeyemedia1:
Ask your state Governor to return all the security votes money he has collected since 2015 from the Federal level, & also account for all the monies he allocated to security from the State budget, since he did not, & is not using the money for anything

Do you have comprehension problem?

Buckeyemedia1:
The Governor is the Chief Security Officer in charge of his state so says the constitution, President Buhari did not write the constitution, his office & powers also emanates from the provisions of the constitution, he who feels aggrieved should take it to the Supreme Court for interpretation, or convince your elected officials to change the constitution, it falls within their jurisdiction, the President is a creation of the system he has jurisdictions limited by the Constitution 1999 (As Amended). This is a democratic dispensation not the Military era.

chief security officer with out the power to command any security apparatus, is that not an irony?,you know as well as I do that as far as security is concerned the governors are powerless but you are happy with the present setting for reasons best known to you,bye.

Buckeyemedia1:
You are chasing shadows focusing on Buhari, States were created for a reason, what concerns me with you from North Central, Let your Governor provide for you, can you tell me how much your state collected from statutory allocation in the last 4 years from the Federal System? No you can’t, Nigeria will never prosper because we have too many illiterate minded people not willing to ask the critical questions, just blame the President is their solution, yet nothing has changed till date with the pointing game. Has your Governor or state given you justice & fairness, before you are looking at the whole Nigeria?

ok,you keep defending buhari n wish citizens direct their anger at their state governors but when it comes to security which is the concern of some of us,you n I know that the laws of this country hasn't empower the governors to directly do anything tangible when face with dear security challenges,the president controls everything n it's only him that can really take the decisive steps to handle n curtail security challenges,as far as I'm concerned buhari has failed woefully in this aspect due to sentiment n he should be blamed squarely n not any governor.you referred to some of us as illiterate but it's ok perhaps that makes you happy so enjoy.

Buckeyemedia1:
Whether you are center left, or center right, North Pole, or South Pole, Nigeria will never break up in your lifetime. People lost their lives & loved ones to preserve the unity of Nigeria, the labors of our Heroes past, shall never be in vain, not might never be in vain, Once you understand the magnitude of the words chosen by your forefathers, you will know you are wasting your precious time chasing shadows.

Let me get you clear about me, I'm from the north Central and would certainly prefer be Nigeria remain one as the country stand a better chance of being a force to be reckoned with as we are today but the unity n indivisibility of the country can only be guaranteed by justice n fairness but certainly not by the way buhari is running the country with his actions and utterances,and mind you the indivisibility of Nigeria is never cast in steel,it would take just one episode of misfortune for the country to break up,much stronger nation had broken up in the past, Don't boast n rest on your oars.

Buckeyemedia1:
Calling for Oduduwa Nation has nothing to do with The President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is been carried out & orchestrated by selfish illiterate minded Tribalistic misguided miscreants. Protest against your Governors for not providing for you, what concerns Nigeria with enemies of The state?

Oh,I get you but I guess we belong to the opposite end of the pole.

Buckeyemedia1:
Let them explain that to the magistrate court tomorrow, me & you are sorry for them, wahala dey sleep, you go wake am? An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.

I don't get you bro,are you for or against the protesters?,if buhari has been ruling this country fairly there wouldn't be all these protest but if you are saying the government should suppress all protest by whatever means irrespective of reasons for the protest ab initio then that would rather be very unfortunate or perhaps you are really benefiting from the present dear conditions of the country n therefore a government/buhari apologist.

The VP NBA is right from a strict point of law,this is why agitations requires tact deep thought n foresight,the north who a major beneficiaries of the present Constitution and state of Nigeria will give anything to maintain the status quo,agitations would have to patiently wait for a silly mistake n open opportunity from the northerners to succeed,if Nnamdi kanu's ESN had stop at chasing herdsmen out of their forests they would have been applauded,same with sunday igboho of the yorubas then both should been campaigning for restructuring of the country,that way they would have really gotten the pro north buhari led government in a tight corner but now they have all played to the gallery and buhari will have no qualms crushing them.

If shetima truly believe in equity and fairness as he claimed he should have been bold n courageous enough to say it clearly that the SE should produce the next president after buhari so as to completely heal the nation and instill the true sense of belonging to all citizens,the rascality by Kanu led IPOB should never be use as a yardstick or excuse to deny the SE their opportunity because it was never use in considering other zones,denying the SE will simply make the problem worse, buhari was once nominated by Boko Haram to serve as their negotiator with the FG yet he was elected to the presidency, before anyone insults me I'm not igbo matter of fact I'm from the north Central but if Nigeria is to achieve peace unity and progress then there must be justice, it's true the SE may be a bit problematic but that is borne out of the annoyance of prolong descrimination n besides no zone has ever been perfect either,

A Facebook user narrates how her married neighbour asked her husband to return her virginity and standing breasts in exchange for divorce.

I find it quite humorous.

It's obviously an impossible task for the husband.

What's your take?

please advise your neighbor to demand for the woman to return all his ejaculated sperms to simply balance the equation,the woman thinks she is smart but she can't eat her cake and have it back,that divorce she go get tham!,gbamsolutely.

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez and girlfriend Taylor Ward are engaged after 16 months of dating.

The fleet-footed Algerian proposed to Taylor, 23, after lunch with a £400,000 custom-made ring while the couple were on holiday to Mykonos, Greece with close relatives.

They were joined by her parents, retired footballer Ashley, 50, and mother Dawn, 47, who was formerly of Real Housewives of Cheshire.

The £200,000 a week superstar bought a house with Taylor earlier this year with the pair having progressed rapidly since their romance began in February 2020 following Mahrez’s separation from ex-wife Rita Johal after six years.

A source reportedly told the Sun: "Taylor was not expecting this at all, and was utterly over the moon.

"She and Riyad make an amazing couple, and they're so loved-up.

"Riyad chose the ring himself and had it specially made.”

Mahrez was seen partying with Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland on the island last week.

He enjoyed a prolific season on the pitch with City, scoring 9 goals in 27 Premier League appearances as the Blues snatched the title 12 points clear of rivals Manchester United.

The speedster has spent the last three years in Manchester where he has settled in comfortably since his 2018 move from Leicester City.

Politics of 2023 presidential election appears unpredictable as many political gladiators on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are already jostling to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari. Political power is understandably expected to shift to the southern Nigeria after President Buhari must have completed his two terms of office. This calculation is based on the unwritten agreement of rotational presidency between the North and the South.

Undoubtedly, the leading and most popular of all the gladiators that are aspiring to occupy the number one seat of Nigeria on the platform of APC is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Aside being the National Leader of the ruling party, the former Governor of Lagos State was highly instrument in the formation of APC and eventual capturing of power from the PDP led government in year 2015. Realistically, BAT has the goodwill, widespread acceptance, political structure and financial wherewithal to clinch the presidential ticket of APC and still go ahead to win the presidential election.

Inasmuch as these permutations look strongly favourable for Bola Tinubu, it should also be noted that some forces within the APC are already plotting to stop his emergence as the party’s candidate. It has even been argued in some questers that Asiwaju has since transmuted to a kingmaker; and it is a general belief that kingmakers are never known to have become kings.

In spite of cold political calculations that may not not be to the advantage of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one thing that cannot be taken away from the highly cerebral and smooth operating politician is the fact that he is always a step ahead of his detractors. While his detractors appear fixated on working against his next political ambition, the Jagarban Borgu is also expected not to have gone to bed without giving serious thoughts to all possible options available to him.

Without doubt, one quality option that is available to Asiwaju Tinubu and indeed the APC in 2023 is the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. The intellectual and legal genius may not be politically savvy like other gladiators, however, his competence has readily make up for whatever he may perhaps be lacking as a career politician. He has evidently demonstrated capacity to competently administer the affairs on Nigerian nation on several occasions. Osinbajo had on severally seized the opportunity of the president’s medical visit to the United Kingdom to proved his competence and leadership acumen to all Nigerians.

Osinbajo has left no one in doubt of his ability to skillfully and expertly manage the nation’s affairs whenever his boss travels abroad for medical check up. The fact that the Vice president is eminently qualified and highly experienced to succeed his boss should not be argued. As a lawyer, Osinbajo became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria at a fairly young age. He had later served for eight years as Lagos State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General. He has also been in the saddle as Nigerian Vice president since year 2015.

It will be recalled that Osinbajo had properly pilot Nigerian economy, strengthened the Naira and ensure security across the country in his capacity as Acting President while President was abroad for medical treatment. It should also be noted that Osinbajo demonstrated his firmness and capacity to the admiration of most Nigerians. One instance of this was when the Vice president promptly sacked Lawal Daura as the boss of Department of State Security (DSS) in August, 2018.

Unknown to many people, Prof Yemi Osinbajo actually anchored the international conferences that led to the creation of strategic institutions such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Federal Road Safety Commission and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

More so, the twin qualities of integrity and loyalty that have since become very rare amongst Nigerian politicians are what Osinbajo is truly known to have in abundance. He has evidently shown genuine loyalty to his boss, even when President Buhari was critically sick and flown to the UK. All the the while, Osinbajo never contemplated any act of disloyalty. He has also resolutely committed himself to the cause of Nigeria and her dreams. He has established himself as a political soul-mate and a dependable ally of his boss, President Muhammadu Buhuri.
The Vice President is also a model of integrity as he has for more than forty years maintained exceptionally clean lifestyle and conducts.

Another outstanding quality of Prof Osinbajo is his deep sense of patriotism and commitment to excellence and hard work. In addition, the alumnus of London School of Economics is a detribalized leader who also sees himself first as Nigerian and never known to have manifested tribal or religious sentiment. He is a strategic leader that knows what to do, when to do same and how to get it done.

Despite being a pastor, he has continually promote religious tolerance and harmony in the country. He is also imbued with genuine fear of God, which is responsible for his trademark humility, loyalty and patience. Osinbajo is also a lover of peace and firm believer in one strong and indivisible Nigerian nation. He is undoubtedly an egg head and a great strategist which are great attributes that great leaders should posses.

Another reason that also makes Osinbajo a credible option for the APC presidential ticket is the fact of his unblemished records in both private and public sectors. This fact will also make it a lot easy to market him across all ethnic divides in the country. More so, the Vice president is comparably young and he is loved by most Nigerians. As things stand today, Nigerian youths, professionals, civil servants, artisans and peasants will prefer to have Osinbajo as their next president because of his close interactions with them.

While others gladiators are busy scheming to grab the presidential ticket of APC, Nigerian Vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has always count on the same grace of God that sought out David amongst his brethren and eventually made him a king. The 64 years old lawyer and pastor is divinely positioned to be the joker of APC in 2023. He is clearly positioned not only to help the party retain power, but to also unite all factions and restore lasting peace and discipline to the ruling party.

My major problem with osibanjo is that he doesn't appear to have the courage to be his own man,to be firm n resolute where n when necessary,he looks to me more like a puppet I'm sorry but that's my impression about him,he may posses ither good qualities but leadership especially in Nigeria will require enormous courage,I think it was one Chinese author who wrote the ART OF WAR that said,to be a good leader one required the intelligence of a fox n the courage of a lion, I'm afraid osibanjo doesn't fit that description,I would even prefer Adesina of ADB to osibanjo.

Some ladies may be having an affair with their lover, they had great time together, but he is no longer answering his phones and looks to be unable to meet your demands. You may have fallen in love with him, but he vanished that night after having a taste of you, it happens to me at times whenever I have sex with a woman I don't have much feelings for, the love disappears after having a taste of her, but I always try to make myself available for her, even after the whole scenario.

I had love the whole house to shed more light on this.

Why do men lose interest in women after sleeping with them?

It could be due to any of these:bad attitude of the lady even before the sex,poor quality kpekus,greed on the part of the lady.

There's no doubt about the fact that buhari is out to serve the interest of his fulani kinsmen inevitably setting a very dangerous precedence, with sincerity of purpose the best solution to the herdsmen/farmer problem would have been for states to create grazing reserves if necessary with federal support for the fulanis or any herder to register n use for a renewable fee,this would be a win win situation for all,the host communities would be assured that the herders are only renting the land n not claiming outright ownership,the herders will be better secured n enjoy better amenities n economic opportunities,but it's clear that buhari is only out to gift willy nilly the whole of Nigerian territory to his kinsmen,so many attempts have been made already RUGA, CATTLE COLONY,INLAND WATER BODIES TAKE OVER n now this,I'm afraid to say that the adamant posture of the federal government will only lead to more problems,but time shall tell.

For the over years now, despite all efforts put by fathers to train up their children, by attending to all their basic needs as fathers, after becoming successful in adulthood, children always tend to do great things for their mothers than that of their fathers. Even me is a victim as well, I want do great things for my mum but I remember my dad did all he could for me, make sure that I don't become a miscreant in the society by making sure I was discipline enough but still yet I love my mum more than him.
Why is it like that? Or is it written in the Bible to favour your mother than your father when you are fully mature?




Pls push to front page, let's know our mistakes as fathers in our children's life

It's because the mothers are often more around the children than their fathers and use such closeness to brainwash the children into believing that they live them more,worst of all they use the resources provided by the very fathers such as money n food in their dubious act,most mothers deliberately refuses to discipline the children only threatening them with reporting to their fathers who is then term wicked by the children, it's only children that grows up to really understand life that truly appreciate the value of their fathers.

What happened in this situation is that Fulani herdsmen overan Agbonchia killing and raping women after which the villagers staged protest to Rivers and federal government. Nothing was done and I guess their youths who of course are into IPOB might have either invited ESN or mobilized themselves to drive away the herdsmen only for the herdsmen to call for help from FG who sent the soldiers. I am a Rivers indigene and I know Agbonchia very very well and about their crisis with Herdsmen. You can read this report from 2 months ago.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to remind Nigerians that the seeds of the insecurity which the APC administration is containing was sown by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration when it handled the Boko Haram insurgency in an inept and incompetent manner.

This is response to the false claims by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who lied that the Federal Government has lost control of the security situation.

The remarks by the Rivers state governor, whose party members call a dictator, flies against the continuous efforts of our security forces who are toiling day and night and successfully rolled back the Boko Haram insurgency it inherited to a small part on the shores of Lake Chad.

Nigerians can recall that the insurgents once attacked places of worship, markets and gathering of citizens in many states of the Federation before the APC administation led by President Muhammadu Buhari galvanised and equipped the armed forces to degrade their capacity to strike all over the country.

It is ironic that the dictator at the Rivers State government house has forgotten so soon that kidnapping for ransom, like the Boko Haram insurgency, did not start under this administration, but every effort is being made to stop it along with its twin evil of banditry.
The APC administration has consistently worked for the best interest of Nigeria and will not be distracted by the antics of the PDP designed to mislead Nigerians into assuming that the PDP they rejected in free and fair elections in 2015 and 2019 is worthy of their trust.

A leopard cannot change its spots. The PDP is clearly in disarray. It was a failure in governance and a shocking failure as an opposition party. Nigerians cannot risk the country's future in the hands of the same political party that brought the rot the APC administration is clearing.

The Apc as individuals and party are so useless,they are only good at passing blames,did buhari supported the last government in fighting terrorism?,.if buhari had the competence n genuine intentions for the country he could easily have solve most of the insecurity n other problems facing the country base on the effect of the propaganda that brought him to power but because himself and his party the Apc are empty n very biased they ended up exercibating the problems n destroying the country the more,after six years they are still shamelessly passing blames, truly you can't give what you don't have.
