Another laughable one is 'Barrister XYZ'. In England where we imported our legal system, the concept of prefacing a lawyer's name with 'Barrister' is unknown.

A lawyer has no more need to preface his name with 'Barrister' than a Carpenter needs to introduce himself as 'Carpenter Mike'.

Every where I go, I introduce myself as 'Mr ................' but it rarely ends there. If there's anyone who knows me around, they will often jump in, uninvited, to say:

'...ahh Oga, you're not Mr o!' They end up calling out my educational title.

Always an embarrassment.

The new one now is '...Mr XYZ Phd'

So he can't even express a preference for zoning to the South.

Mr Obi's timidity is cringe-worthy.

majole:
It is easier for PDP/ATIKU to defeat Tinubu than Amaechi. Tinubu won't get 30% of Christian votes and the Muslim vote would be majority Atiku

I doubt if a Muslim/Muslim ticket will be a major issue in the SW or many parts of the SS.

At the right time, Tinubu's handlers will project the fact that his (only) wife is a Redeem minister. This will soften concerns about a Muslim Muslim ticket.

It is also unlikely that the majority of SW Christians will vote a Christian Amaechi over a Muslim Tinubu, because SW Christians don't consider SW Muslims a threat the way many in the East probably consider many Muslims.

ArewaNorth:
Sani Bello is strong ally of Tinubu and Buni has been his ally since the time APC was formed. A week before he left for medical trip Buni was with Tinubu at Abuja.

With all that has happened, it's laughable that anyone would believe Mr Buni is not working against the interest of Tinubu.

Anyone that has been around politicians long enough would know that the fact one visited the other means little.

Dsalvo:
Even Buhari cannot get Amaechi APC ticket. What many don't know, especially you a supposed insider, is that most APC big boys dont trust Buhari's ability.

Haba! Where did I say I was an insider. I even said I couldn't vouch for the truth of what I was told.

I actually agree with you that many of the big players will eventually ignore the President's dictat and do their own thing.

That's already happening.

Earlier in the week, the President issued the 'London letter' reinstating Mr Buni, and directed that all the infighting and name calling should stop.

Yet, 2 or 3 days later, Mr El Rufai fired his own salvo, calling some of his colleagues greedy and incompetent. He clearly didn't listen to the President.

I also don't believe Mr Amaechi can win an unrigged primary or presidential election.

Penguin2:
Oyetola’s candidate.

But methinks Fayemi candidate will win the position.

The position is zoned to the SW, so SW APC leaders will decide who wins.

Fayemi governs the smallest State in the SW, and the state that will have the fewest voting number at the APC convention.

You mean voting representatives from Lagos, Oyo, Osun, and Ogun will ignore Tinubu's candidate and vote Fayemi's?

Buttom line, as far as SW APC is concerned, anyone that Tinubu supports for National Secretary position will win. No Question.

yyba:
you were told and who told you ?

Well, I'll leave it at that. I can't disclose my source or vouch that what I was told is correct, but the source is high-up.

I'd be surprised if Mr Amaechi doesn't contest.

majole:
So there El_Rufai is with Amaechi? Who are those in this camp?

I believe they are together.

I was told Mr Amaechi will contest. He'll likely be the President's candidate.

Ekoblendedsince:
Let everybody calm down make people understand wetin dey go on. Why una dey fight una self we been thing una be the same gang members?

I thought there were 2 camps before. Mr Tinubu's camp and Mallam El-Rufai/Amaechi camp.

Now, it seems there are at least 3 camps. Tinubu, El-Rufai/Amaechi, and Buni/Malami.

The Tinubu camp must be smiling as the opposition is divided.

APC's Buni saga takes a another turn with 'Arise News' reporting that Mallam El-Rufai has issued a furious statement alleging greed, selfishness, and incompetence, and saying that 'betrayal begets revolt'.

First, Mr Akeredolu said some of his fellow Governors are Yahoo Yahoo. Now Mr Rufai claims some leaders in APC are greedy and incompetent (ouch!).

Mr Tinubu said he would fight dirty. Mr Rufai has followed suit with his own threat to revolt and throw a spanner in the works.

APC, what the hell!

Agreed but still doesn't mean he will perform beta

Also doesn't mean he'll perform worse than the others.

One of the most important things a president needs to do is assemble a team of the best talents that Nigeria can offer.

Obasanjo and Jonathan had some brilliant Ministers, something Buhari has failed to replicate.

I understand that as Governor of Lagos State, Tinubu also assembled some brilliant minds (including Osinbajo). This gives me some hope that he can repeat that feat, if elected.

Atiku also appears to be someone who can pull off that feat. He also seem to have a 'can do spirit'. I like that.

I do not subscribe to cancelling these two just on account of their age.

Younger does not guarantee better.

davodyguy:
BAT is a gogetter.

Any of Osinbajo, Fashola, Fayemi, Amaechi, Rochas, I am cool with

Hopefully these people will declare their interest in the coming weeks.

What's clear is that the quality of leadership and candidates in Nigeria is not great.

Fashola did not exactly prove himself as Minister for Power.

There's zero proof that Fayemi can lead Nigeria any better than the rest. He did very little as Minister for Mines. As a 2 time Governor of Ekiti, he has not exactly distinguished himself.

Never really been impressed with Amaechi whenever I've had him talk. Anybody can build railways if the money is available.

Strangely enough, Okorocha impresses me when I've heard him talk. He says the right things, but it seems Imolites were not impressed with him as Governor. Also, all the corruption palaver isn't good for him.

That leaves Osinbajo. He should be a better President having been an understudy for 8years. He should throw his hat in the ring and test his popularity.

Obi could be a good one but he seems to lack confidence in himself. Prob waiting for vice presidency.

Moghalu and the rest are simply too young. Nigeria's complexity and immediate existential challenges require a mature hand who understands the system and can bring all the peoples of Nigeria together in a fair and equitable manner.

Those younger ones claiming they have all the solutions should first prove themselves as Ministers.

Buttom line - Buni's plans have been scuttled. His authority is seriously diminished.

Bello and the rest of the Extraordinary Committee set a new tone in his absence.

If Buni shows any sign of pursuing his old agenda, the whole thing will blow up.

donparosky:
Yeah as long as temp doesn't exceed 30 degrees you are good.

Please what happens if it exceeds 30 degrees.

I think temperature can easily exceed 30 degrees in storage facilities in my area.

APC is in chaos.

Offpoint1:
I can't eat proper meal, even the tea I had to force myself...
it's been like that from birth

Aww...sorry to hear that.

Just concerned about you taking things like Nutri Milk daily. There are superior local alternatives for someone like you who require near-liquid meals.

One example is a combo of hot pap and peanut butter. Mixed together, this meal will give you a decent amount of carb (the pap) and a punchy dose of protein (the peanut butter). And you can still have your beloved tea.

You can try this twice a week to break the monotony of daily tea + nutri milk.

Offpoint1:
Less than 1k

Tea in the morning N400

Nutri Milk at night 250

that's my daily routine, I'm not foodie guy

That doesn't seem healthy.

Tea is ok, but you need to compliment it with a proper meal during the day, not Nutri milk!

Your body needs a daily intake protein, fat, and carbs.

A daily routine of tea and nutri milk combo...hmm, not nice.

This is serious.

A Governor calling other Governors yahoo yahoo.

A lot has gone wrong in APC

HilcomTech:
UK just want to finish Ukraine patapata as the Russian military will become more dearly.

The same UK can't even face Rusia in a battle

Not true.

The only advantage Russia has over the UK is size, being about 70 times larger than the UK. 2 nuclear bombs on the UK would wreck the country, whereas Russia can take 2 from the UK and still remain a country.

Technologically, UK's defense equipment are superior to Russia's. As everyone can see from the current war, Russia is all brawn and no brains. A lot of big, antiquated equipment plus inferior military planning ability. See how easy Ukrainians are bringing down Russia's planes and how their tanks are easy targets.

Britain, the most powerful military power in Europe.

A country so small, yet so manipulative, conniving, and...full of brilliant, low-key scientists and innovators.

Off all European countries, the one country Putin must hate the most right now is Britain. France and Germany are not confronting Putin as Britain does.

As to the one that says a member of a Committee (APC's NEC) cannot call for a meeting of the Committee, well that's nonsense.

APC will implode the way things are going.

If the President can't even impose his own 'consensus' party chairman candidate, what hope does he have of imposing a candidate for the Presidential primaries.

Buhari will cease to be President in about a year. His absolute influence over the party will wane going forward as some Governors will no longer just accept everything he wants in the party.

It seems some of these Governors are now prepared to fight dirty to protect their own interest. Al Makura was in Ondo state yesterday, and Akeredolu openly entertained his campaign, despite Buhari already endorsing a candidate.

Buhari so pe, will no longer work as it used to.

I trust Shell....

[img]https://i./3OJxY.gif[/img]

.......Royal Dutch Shell (Holland)

Shell is a multinational company with its global HQ in the UK. It is not a Dutch (Holland) company.

Last year, it changed its name from Royal Dutch Shell to just 'Shell', it's original British name.

Katsina and Kano. Two states whose voting numbers will humble you.

I experienced that with President Jonathan during the 2015 elections.

ArewaNorth:
Stop this propaganda that Northern cabal do this and that. The fact that El Rufai, Badaru and Bagudu wanted Fayemi for their political goals doesn't mean North wanted him but only those 3 guys.
We in the North who support Tinubu, support him because he deserves to be repaid and has what it takes to be a competent President!

I defer to your superior perspective of potential voting sentiment in the north.

We in the south only have the benefit of what we read in the press & social media where we are bombarded daily by news of anti-tinubu plots & schemes by the el Rufai cabal.

PressMyButton:
It is a waste of time arguing with Ipob nonentities. People that matters know that Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria.

Well, it seems the power that be are intent on stopping him. That's a major obstacle. Almost impossible to defeat federal might.

See Tinubu in Ekiti.

No wonder the Northern cabal quickly dropped Fayemi as a potential candidate. They are now looking for someone from the South South.

No politician is going to secure every vote in his region, but as far as the South West goes, no politician's name inspire interest and mystery as Tinubu's. Even in far away Ondo & Ekiti, his is the dominant name on people's lips for the past decade.

This could cost him if the Police concludes that he committed an offence.

1. If he was arrested, he'd need bail. This will cost money.

2. Police will escalate by charging or threatening to charge him to court.

3. The complainant will play along with the Police and demand criminal charges.

4. Complainant will demand may-be N10m in compensation & threaten to file a separate civil case if she's not paid. That'll will make it 2 court cases.

5. Timaya's gra gra will disappear. His lawyer will start pleading for settlement.

5. Even if he settles the lady, the Police will insist on charging him to court unless he........(you know the rest).

In conclusion, his actions will cost him a few millions, if the girl's lawyer knows what he's doing.

The major divisions in APC revolves around Tinubu, full stop.

The national caretaker cabal are intent on stopping him from contesting. At any cost.

Why can't the Presidency and the caretaker committee (they're both working together in the plot) present and support their own candidate, and let others contest too.

It says a lot about the schemers lack of popularity that despite having the greater resources and federal might, they are not sure they can defeat Tinubu in the primary.

Not long ago we were told that once the President annoints any candidate, the candidate will automatically win. So why are they now running scared of annointing & fielding their own candidate & let their party members decide.

Greenafrica could become one of the largest airlines in Nigeria in a few years.

Their prices are much lower than the others. Over time, majority of flyers will not ignore the price difference.

Their planes are cheaper to run than the competition, so other airlines are unlikely to be able to match their price.

They are also well funded from abroad.

Airpeace and the others should keep an eye on Greenafrica.
