₦airaland Forum

franchasng:
Laughable comment.

Atiku is currently dragging Tinubu before the whole world on drug related matter and you didn't call for Atiku to be arrested and tried, but to you, the biggest crime is a comment from an anonymous nairalander who must be traced, investigated and arrested by DSS and subsequently made to disappear (klled) and you are proud to say this on a public forum yet you want Nigerians to vote and support Tinubu for a second term? Do you know what you are encouraging with your thoughtless comment? Extrajudicial killing which is a bigger crime in the global scene and you should even be more careful threatening someone with disappearance for a comment on a topic that has been a global discussion for years now, ire oh

Ask El Rufai and NMK, they will tell you stories that will horrify you.

Or do you want me to name monikers who were more vociferous than you that have disappeared from Nairaland? I will not do so.

Like I earlier counseled, a word is enough for the W.I.S.E.

DLifeless1:
Is this guy the president representing 250 million people that was sniffing white substances up and down in chicago and that His bagages is disgracing Nigeria and making us a laughing stock, these nefarious people including this one you are trying to distract us from must have learnt from the white substance sniffer in aso rock.
So lets keep supporting dubious and evil people based on tribe and religion, let Nigeria keep going down, we will all suffer it.

Believe me sincerely, you think Nairaland anonymous status is a shield for you to write fake accusation on anyone, and get away with it. You will be disappointed when the DSS came knocking at your doors arresting you to provide evidence where you see the man sniffing the white dust.

Many have disappeared from Nairaland like that never to be heard again, don't be the next victim.

A word is enough for the W.I.S.E.

EXPRESSSMAN:
Obi will definitely win both Lagos and Abuja again; I can bet you on that. No number of Agbero Tinubu will unleash on voters will not save him. This time the margin will be bigger.

Dream on my brother, it costs nothing to dream. January 2027 is just 4 months away, and the reality will hit you like a storm.

EXPRESSSMAN:
Note that you cannot rig Lagos and Abuja in a presidential election because of the large presence of international observers and civil society organisations. So that was why Obi won them. Note also that Politicians target those security-risk zones where there were no observers to do their rigging.

Accepting your logics hold till January 2027 that no one can rig in Lagos and Abuja, let us see then whether Obi will still win the two cities at the presidential election.

Gotocourt:
Tinubu is criminal , Osun APC members were thrown under the bus. Those APC bandits died for nothing. It's all about the master plotter strategist .

Gotocourt to prove this.

Blunt99:
I hate praise singers and Sycophants with everything in me.

Good one stacking them.

Sycophants and Sycophancy is a cancer to any Society,

The very reason Nigeria is currently where it is.

Tinubu Sycophants.

But those ones hyping you in night clubs or owambe parties, what are they called? Do you hate them too?

So cheap for a highly recommended IPO. If I get money I go buy plenty now, to reap the huge benefits later.

Why is Chelsea not playing Esteviao often, pairing him with Pedro.

David Raya is magical. See that save from Esteviao!

Xabi Alonso's Chelsea players are not that fantastic. After Reece, Palmer, Pedro and Neto, the rest seems ordinary.

Though I am a Chelsea fan, but to be honest Arsenal has a very solid team this season. To beat them will require extra energy from their opponent.

Chelsea has floppy defence. They are going to chop hefty goals from Arsenal today.

If he fall down on that stage, dancing at his old age, that's bye bye to him and his dollar loots.

Akir2025:
. Your Personal View does not Carry all Nigerians View .

Stop defending them.

If the One you work doesn't do that ,It doesn't means other Chinese cannot do it ..So Face Front and enjoy the Stipends they Pay You why you work Tirelessly

A racist detected. Yet he will be the first one to complain about tribalism against his ethnic in the country.

Hypocrisy at its highest zenith.

RandDigital:
😂😂😂 watching from South Africa 🇿🇦👀Chai! See the wailing. The shoe is now on the other foot.

Zimbabwe, Tanzania and all those others crying of xeno also have recent laws restricting foreigners engaging in small business, but they want a free for all in SA.

Ghana that was complaining about Nigerian shops also hauled SA to the AU for same matter.

Now the developers of Africa are starting to wail about Chinese shops 😂😂😂. Oh the irony and hypocrisy!

Geraraout outa hia! you are not invited into this family convo.

anonimi:
Was life not better under Atiku and PDP before Tinubu went to beg Buhari out of retirement to make Jonathan a one term president, after their wicked APC party invited terrorists to destroy Nigeria?

When was Atiku the president of Nigeria?

TheFreshVanilla:
What will be your response because one day your children will ask you, "Daddy, when the internet was creating millionaires and successful entrepreneurs, what exactly were you doing online?”

Has the internet made you multi millionaire and successful entrepreneur too? But if it had, we would have heard about you, and you won't be wasting your precious time on this inconsequential Nairaland.

Kalulu44:
Like I said someone provoke him badly. This is unlike the Davido we or should I say me know.

Davido has always been uncouth in his language and behaviour, unless you are his fan, and wont to forgive his idiosyncrasies.

TheFreshVanilla:
Same faith awaits those collecting Apc monthly stipends to defend bad governance online. One day your children will ask you, "Daddy, when the internet was creating millionaires and successful entrepreneurs, what exactly were you doing online?”

Has the internet made you multi millionaire and successful entrepreneur too? But if it had, we would have heard about you, and you won't be wasting your precious time on this inconsequential Nairaland.

Racoon:
PDP lost for APC to come on board. Sadly, they have made Nigeria more worst & worst. Nigeria’s reform benefits does stop at stronger fiscal numbers. It has to show up in the things Nigerians actually experience. The food inflation was still 20.31% in July. In parts of the country, petrol now sells for about ₦1,345 per litre. In July 2023, it was ₦617.

That difference is on a spreadsheet. It shows up in transport fares, food prices, business costs and what is left in a household’s pocket at the end of the month. Our analysis of Nigeria’s economic reforms found that states received ₦15.5 trillion in revenue in 2025, compared with ₦4.8 trillion in 2022.

A bigger naira figure does not automatically mean greater fiscal capacity. Inflation, exchange-rate depreciation and rising debt obligations have increased the cost of running government and the cost of living for citizens. So the reform dividend cannot be measured only with how much money is now flowing through govt accounts.

Nigerians cannot eat GDP growth. Economic progress is evident when incomes can stretch further, public services reduce the costs households carry privately, and a financial shock does not push more people into poverty.

Nigerians should not expect meaningful change from an assemblage of individuals who had failed to provide solutions to the country’s worsening economic and security challenges. Yes, heaven will not fall when they get out of our national life January 2027.

Dreaming is not expensive, continue buying into it with high vaulting ideas which are far from political reality.

Madmen and mad women everywhere. This world has gone to the dump. No morals anywhere, and no shame. Everybody just do whatever they like with no scruple or cares.

God and the ultimate judgement have been shelved aside by almost all.

What a regretful eye-opener will men have when they cross over to the other side of death, and the evil reports of their existence on earth is presented to them, and the eternal repercussions. There will surely be moaning and gnashing of teeth by majority as proclaimed by the Lord.

anonimi:
Is religion a bigger or lesser scam than politics, especially the balablu bulaba propaganda type of which Tinubu is the master strategist

Waoh, your own propaganda style and energy is beyond comparison. Keep it up, we have noticed your increased diligence, and we will surely reward you enormously at the right time.

HacheNoire:
What now makes her think that Jesus himself can defeat His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) in a free and fair election?

That’s is still an impossibility.

You too thinks this is a cruise? I pity you and your generations unborn.

Let her continue in her blasphemy, her day of recompence draws near, and we will all see it, and none will pity her.

MEGAWATCH:
Okay, let's believe you are saying the truth, but what is the reason why tinubu has not been able to meet with Trump for over three years now.

😂😂😂

For what purpose should Tinubu meets with Trump, when he is already cooperating with Nigeria over its security issue?

Has every African leader meets with Trump one-on-one?

THE COST OF EMPTY SLOTS: How NDC's Failure to File Candidates in 11 States Including Akwa Ibom Will Shape Its Presidential Fate on January 15, 2027.

On August 29, 2026, INEC displayed provisional governorship candidates. By August 31, field checks confirmed NDC has no candidate in 11 states.

THE 11 STATES - 233 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS:

Cross River - 18 LGAs
Borno - 27 LGAs
Ebonyi - 13 LGAs
Katsina - 34 LGAs
Kebbi - 21 LGAs
Niger - 25 LGAs
Plateau - 17 LGAs
Taraba - 16 LGAs
Yobe - 17 LGAs
Zamfara - 14 LGAs
Akwa Ibom - 31 LGAs - 11th state confirmed

TOTAL = 233 LGAs = 30.1% of Nigeria's 774 LGAs with no NDC governorship structure.

TRIPLE ELECTION - JANUARY 15, 2027

Three elections hold same day, same polling unit, same time:

Presidential Election
Senate Election - 109 seats
House of Representatives Election - 360 seats
Total 470 contests.

NDC filed only 70% of National Assembly = ∼328 of 469. About 141 Federal Constituencies will have NO NDC House logo on Jan 15, even though presidential logo is there.

WHY THIS MATTERS

No House candidate = no ballot driver. In Nigeria, the House member brings voters to PU. No House = voters stay home, even for President.

No Agent = No Protection. House agent collects presidential EC8A. 141 constituencies blank = ∼14,100 PUs with no NDC agent. 233 LGAs with no guber = ∼35,000 PUs unprotected.

25% Spread: To win President, you need 25% in 24 states. With 11 states having no structure (233 LGAs), you must get 25% in states where you have no coordinators.

LEGAL FINALITY - EMPTY CANNOT BE FILLED

Electoral Act 2022 Section 33: "A political party shall not be allowed to change or substitute its candidate whose name has been submitted under section 29, except in case of death or withdrawal."

Section 34(1): "No further withdrawal or replacement will be allowed except in event of death or pursuant to court order."

You cannot do fresh primaries to fill empty slots after deadline (July 14 for NASS, Aug 8 for guber). The 11 governorship and 141 NASS vacancies are permanent, unless court proves INEC portal glitch (as alleged in Anambra).

CONCLUSION

NDC enters the triple election of Jan 15, 2027 with 233 LGAs (30.1% of Nigeria) and 141 Federal Constituencies blank. The failure of 2026 filing cannot be cured by substitution. It will cost 4-6 million votes on Jan 15 - not from lack of popularity, but from lack of ballot presence and agent coverage.

Do you have a law in this country?

We have laws bro, but una no dey gree follow am.

How is Atiku a worse thief than Tinubu is

At least you accepted that Atiku is a thief, but only that he is a lesser thief than Tinubu. Since we all love thieves to run Nigeria affairs, so why should we vote for another thief when the one there has not finish his thieving biz?

sammirano:
If no body agree with you baba atiku I agree with you on this on. That man is a very wicked somebody. I swear we all miss buhari. He was like a father to us

A father who left huge debts for his children to repay from their lean purses is no good father.

nairalanda1:
So, I should tell you lies then? Spoken like a typical tinubu supporter.

Criticising your unrelenting tax propagandism on Nairaland has suddenly turn me to a "typical Tinubu supporter".

Well you have not disappointed me with your typical obidient response.

nairalanda1:
Power generation went up from 1.9 GW to 5GW under PDP, so the money was spent. At least most of it.

Nigeria needs something like 16 billion dollars yearly to be the best electricity nation in Africa, as well as the sector being allowed to charge a cost reflective tarrif. The reason being that we need to bump up generation to 90GW to supply every nigerian in the country with electricity, more to be able to export electricity.

Oga Tax Warlord, pity us miserable masses now. You won't rest until they levy us to the bones. Maybe when they send us to untimely graves with their lootable taxes you will then allow us rest from your taxation propaganda.
