Abiola & Kingibe ran on a Muslim Muslim ticket under SDP & won, why did the Military cancel the election?

You have to understand your Country, Nigeria is Christian South, Muslim North, the Military told SDP Muslim Muslim ticket is not acceptable in Nigeria, una be mumus.

Even under the Military it is same, Gowon/Awolowo, Murtala/Obasanjo, Obasanjo/Yaradua, President Buhari broke the code, with Idiagbon, he was removed in 18 months, Babaginda/Ubutu Ukiwe & Augustus Aikhomu, Abacha/Diya, Abdulsalami Abubakar/Mike_Akhigbe.

One Muslim, One Christian is how we operate in Nigeria, even in the Civil Service, na Fela Kuti code us the system of operandai.

My uncle held a party for Tony Anenih Jr after his wedding in 2000 in Benin City. Many of the new state governors were in town and came for the party. He got five of them into his bedroom and pitched a company called “CyberTel” which was supposed to bid for a GSM license.

Only Delta State was very keen on it. The others told us that they would get back. Cybertel meged into the consortium called First Independent Networks Limited which was started by Bolaji Balogun and his team at City Securities Limited. It was a harrowing period.

I remember traveling to Delta and Akwa Ibom to try to ensure the commitment of the states. FINL was supposed to hold 60% of the license holding company and 40% went to the foreign partner. We later selected a small company from Zimbabwe called Econet because we felt it was easier.

Econet was supposed to bring 40% of the license money and the technical know-how. We had the equity agreement as shareholder and technical services agreement as operator of the license. That 40% never came. It was excuse after excuse. We finally had to go back to the states.

The initial structure we had proposed was for the license entity Econet Wireless Nigeria (EWN) owned by FINL and the technical partner to own 60% of the operating entity Econet Wireless Mobile (EWM) and the remaining 40% coming into that entity from states like Delta and AKSG.

When the 40% from the operator wasn't coming and other shareholders were leveraged to the hilt, state governments were allowed in to buy secondaries from existing shareholders who had covered the initial $285m license fee they didn't bargain for. Shareholders approached states.


OANDO was a shareholder too. I had convinced them to buy into EWN/FINL in spite of Jite’s reservations. He was asking me why India had not seen growth because of GSM? Wale was convinced that it was the right thing. Osaze Osifo from HSBC Capital also had convinced him that it was.

Osaze and Wale were old classmates. Osaze was running the entire financing of the deal and was a true genius. He was the one who arranged the primaries and secondaries in a manner I am still learning from till today. Wale got Lagos State to buy their secondaries and come in.

That was the extent of the Lagos State involvement in the deal. His relative was the state governor and it made it easier for OANDO to convince them. Tinubu didn't even commit to Cybertel initially. Delta State and Oceanic saved ECONET. David Edevbie saved us all.

David was also the one who suggested still giving the operator 5% even though they didn't bring any money and almost got us wrecked. That proved to be the biggest mistake we made.

Party man like Boris Johnson? Why didn’t the APC send Bola Tinubu to be Buhari’s running mate in 2014?

What has changed between then & now?

alsudan:
Thiefnibu Urchins go soon interpret party man to mean Druggie.

Day go soon break for una

Lanrelagboi:
Reduce aspirants, ensure true party man becomes presidential candidate, Buhari tells APC governors

Philipponzaghi:
I can bet my last card that you are not as eloquent as Tinubu.

You won’t even be able to pass Deloitte interview and I’m sure Exxon Mobil can never recruit someone like you and Asiwaju worked in both international company reaching the peak of his career before leaving for politics.

If that man that speaks about his past record of bringing Enron, the first private PPP that generated electricity in Nigeria and Econet which metamorphosed to Airtel today and yet you said he said Jargons. He spoke about how he raised Lagos IGR and yet you said he’s saying jargons, it shows you are irredeemable.

It shows you are a shameless hatred filled soul and a nonentity.

gaby:
E be like say somebody dey him back dey remind or prompt am on wetin to talk.

The desperation is too much.

Na by force to serve?

I honestly thought this man was more articulate than this...what's with the drooling speech?

I'm beginning to believe those who say this man is Bubu ProMax.

Go rest and take care of your health and enjoy your old age.


Liar... it would have been yes if you were the only one that watch the discussion..... I
swear the panelists were just enjoying him... they kept sounding hmmmm..lol
He went there to open their eyes more on things... they didn't screen nothing.. he went there to school them..

Oyegun will not lie if you have choose to...
At the end of the day.. Tinubu was clear

The panelists did a great job at suppressing their laughter and keeping a straight face. Na only that woman wey dey tap table been wan betray her emotions and sentiments...lol

smile11s:
Lol I didn’t hear one thing he is saying. Make he go rest abeg

sogodihno:
Governor Nyesom wike ha decided to work for Tinubu in 2023 so as to make sure south is not short changed.


This is a good move for the south.

PrinceOfLagos:
They will lose together

Wike that couldn't win Atiku even with his dollar big chest , I laugh

Who knows Wike in the north ?

Wike is already hated in south east and not in good relationship with south south leaders

Does Wike even have friends talkless of cult like followers

Wike and Tinubu will see mehmeh

PrinceOfLagos:
Your mom?

MadamVanessa:





This rotten teeth frog eyes man should stop being deluded. He's not going to be the president.

Yves4real:
Please, can you shed some light on the bold? According to the information available, the Edo state's delegates that voted are anti-Obaseki and supporters of Dan Orbih's faction, which has Wike's full backing.
When delegates loyal to Obaseki did not participate in the primary, how can he be held responsible for Wike's defeat?
Another question is why the Delta and Akwa Ibom state governors, both in the South South geopolitical zone, also distanced themselves from Wike?

Snitch24:
Lol what about buhari
It's is finished for Nigeria
It's clear that non of these contestants are honest

Zonefree:
Oyegun should just screen Tinubu out let Nigerians jubilate.

alsudan:
Jonathan as APC’s Consensus Candidate is settled, Hillard can decamp with his Drug Lord to SDP.

Saviourk:
By now, Jonathan should have seen the handwriting on the wall and distance himself from this Evil party

PrinceOfLagos:
Incoming president of where? I know it's not Nigeria

TriCee:
Lol, he is still in shock na. Thinking about dollars shared and Tambuwal's betrayal can make him enter 'coma'.

ScamHunter:
Tinubu should know that he doesn't even stand a chance at clinching APC ticket. With Atiku's victory, his chances have fallen from 35% to 5%. No one will consider him as a consensus president. No Southerners will vote him even if he emerges and APC knows that and only Afonja votes cannot take him anywhere. The North voting him is out of the equation.

So the slim chance the south has is that Tinubu steps down for Goodluck Jonathan. At least, he has support of the South and the North. That way, power can come to the South.

Tinubu should never forget. SE/SS presidency or power remains in the North.

tollyboy5:
Osinbajo is also a southwest agenda. Tinubu will support osinbajo

justicechichex:
This guy sef.. They want to kill u when it's clearly u that is at fault.. Stop doing drugs. It's clearly killing u

Validated:
Tinubu is now stuck to APC, he has been duly screened so he must either win APC ticket or wait till 2027. By then, he would 82 years old.
With the way things are going, APC will field Jonathan, except for the Atiku factor. Although, PDP is dead as far as presdency is concerened. They may still retain theumir states though.

Gandollaar:
Ok then. Enjoy your warapa daddy

Malory:
By 2023 PDP will cease being the major opposition party. Maybe labour or NNPP will take over as the main opposition party. PDP is dead and buried

Gandollaar:
He is not shaky shaky daddy.

Enwhen:
Na so una talk for APC chairman o...last munites gba ...Baba go slow show up



I dont know why u want to believe fake news ...the earlier Tinubu meet Kwankwosiyya , the better ....On Tinubu manhood I stand

Gandollaar:
Thanks bro! Gbayi!

Peter go I follow.
