That's how they would be analyzing rubbish.
Atiku must be the most foo lish man on earth and a political novice if he overlooks the governors in the South that worked for his emergence and goes back to pick Peter Obi,just for sentimental reasons.
First,for the slight alone,governors in the South like Okowa,Akwa Ibom and even Wike,would work against him,even openly or clandestinely working for Tinubu.
Secondly,obi as Atiku's vice would not necessarily get the same traction as he is getting now for wanting to run as a presidential candidate himself.
Thirdly,Obi is being overtly overrated as a candidate capable of winning a presidential election,much like Osinbajo was overrated as a top candidate.He cannot comfortably win even in the SEast because not many politicians there are so enamoured of his candidacy and not many Ibos are swayed by his candidature,despite him being an Iboman himself.
But all said and done,with or without Obi,Atiku CANNOT defeat Tinubu.
The mathematics,whichever permutation is used,is just not in Atiku's favour.
So all these speculation of Obi being on his ticket or not,are just academic exercises because he simply cannot defeat Tinubu.

Knew it would either be Gazette or SR even before reaching down to the source.
2 media with no responsibility,no accountability,no reputation to protect,that thrive on blackmail and beer parlor or motor park drunk drivers gists as sources of their stories.

Anybody working for Lawan as APC candidate is just making sure the north retains power via Atiku,not necessarily he wants Lawan to be president.
They know Tinubu emerging as APC candidate will likely defeat Atiku squarely,Osinbajo stands a good chance too.
But a Lawan guarantees an Atiku victory and guaranteed retention of power.
That is the game so many people are not seeing.
Say no to retention of power by the North.

If Lawan is forced on the APC, Tinubu should decamp and get the presidential ticket of the sdp.
Let the North divide their votes.
Kano,Kaduna,Katsina will go for Tinubu in any party,large voting block statesThe SW massively for him too.
SE,SS can be shared.
It's any southerner than another Northerner.
Q.E.D

I have always maintained that after the monumental disaster that is Buhari with his unrivalled incompetence and first class bigotry,a Southern goat as president is better than whatever the North has to offer.
Atiku,Lawan,have the same northern mindset of bigotry and likely same incompetence.
He lost his chance when he lost to Buhari in 2019.
He has nothing to offer hence with the bigotry that runs through their veins.
Tinubu,Osinbajo,Amaechi are all acceptable than whatever the North has to give,lest,years from now,we would start gnashing our teeth,wailing over another Owo.
A word is enough for the wise.

Sensible people.
This will go some way to fostering some unity.
Atiku or any Northerner should not be allowed to come near that seat after Buhari.

Timeline of this kidnap and the promptness of the ransome payment is suspicious to me.
He was kidnapped on Sunday and by Monday morning N100m cash had been raised and delivered!
Yet everyone is just accepting this story as it is.
Questions need to be raised,but of course,in the jungle,raising questions makes you a devil's advocate and everything is swallowed hook,line sinker.

Buhari with no proven certificate was allowed to rule us for 8 years aided by the likes of sowore who continued fabricating and manufacturing lies against the then government of Jonathan and kept a blind eye to all the putrid skeletons in Buhari's cupboard.
Rather a Tinubu than any other Northerner.

pachigo001:
The ruling All Progressives Congress’ screening committee headed by John Odigie Oyegun has received a petition to disqualify Bola Tinubu over allegations of drug dealing and certificate forgery.

An APC member Sagir Mai Iyali had in his petition to the panel alleged that how Mr Tinubu failed to indicate in his nomination filings that he had a case in the United States in the early 1990s, during which prosecutors extracted over $400,000 in forfeitures from the former Lagos governor.

Mr Tinubu was also once accused of filing false claims to the electoral office INEC when he ran for governor in 1999. Late rights lawyer Gani Fawehinmi made the allegations at the time, saying Mr Tinubu falsely claimed to have attended Chicago State University.

The Supreme Court did not find Mr Tinubu ineligible to stand for office over the matter following a lengthy trial in the 2000s.

Mr Tinubu was also not convicted in the U.S., but his critics said the forfeitures were enough grounds to assume his guilt. He strongly denies all the allegations.

Mr Mai Iyali’s letter, which was first reported by Sahara Reporters, was received at the ruling party’s headquarters in Abuja as screening came underway on Monday morning. The panel is led by Mr Oyegun, who has been nursing a political rivalry against Mr Tinubu.

In his argument, Mr Mai Iyali said: “We understand that Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has since procured his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms and has submitted same to the party has certain issues that clearly amount to a similar disqualification scenario.

“From the information contained in prior submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), particularly in 1999, Mr Tinubu Presented a false claim, on oath, of his attendance at University of Chicago from 1972-1976.

“It is clear now that these claims are false. Not only was this filed in the INEC form with a declaration on oath on December 20th, 1999, but it was also contained in an affidavit of loss sworn to before the High Court of Lagos, Ikeja Registry, December 29th 1998.

“The latter claim that seeks to transpose history is untenable. Mr Tinubu has to show proof he attended University of Chicago or he must stand disqualified as the opposition is in possession of these same documents.

“Over the years, the identity of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been shrouded in secrecy. In fact, no one can claim to know the identity of the man.

“Similarly, the age of Tinubu is not known to anyone. Though, it’s not contention that he is above the statutory age of 35-years, it’s equally important that his exact age is known.”

The national convention and presidential primaries of the APC have been scheduled for June 6. Mr Tinubu is currently undergoing screening before the presidential nomination panel at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

A spokesman for Mr Tinubu did not immediately return a request seeking comments about the petition on Monday evening.

I detest cheating and lies and so should every decent human being.
If anyone wants to disqualify Tinubu through the backdoor and allow one corrupt Northerner to remain in power by fielding a paper weight southern candidate in the person of osinbajo or Amaechi or a disguised Atiku supporter in Lawan,then it shall not be well with that person.
If Tinubu is schemed out of the ticket,he should vie under other minor parties and I am confident people like me in the millions would canvass and get him the votes he needs to defeat the likes of Atiku and any fellow,incompetent Northern bigot.
Say No to any further Northern President under any party.
8 years of a disastrous Northern Buhari is more than enough for this generation.

Always analyzing rubbish.
How would Atiku defeat Tinubu,just how?
If the APC gives the ticket to any other person than Tinubu,it will be a walkover for Atiku.
Osinbajo supporters are mainly on social media and some intelligentias,that constitute a minority of both pvc holders and electorate.
Amaechi having a low support base looks,to me,like someone that would easily collapse his campaign or discreetly work more for PDP than his own candidature when he sees defeat and is guaranteed of an influential position in Atiku's government.
Lawan would simply stop campaigning once he is either assured of being a chief of staff or being returned as senate President because he knows he can't even win in the first place and would deem power remaining in the North,no matter under which party,as victory already.
The one true serious and capable person,support and war chest wise is Tinubu.
Much as Tinubu is deemed corrupt,he cannot be more corrupt than Atiku.He may have challenges of health but he is the one person able to wrestle power back to the South.
People with sense had better work for a southern candidate to return to power than be faced with another 8 years of a Northern,bigot presidency.
I have aired my piece.
I am all for a Southern presidency,who ever and whatever it would take to achieve it.

Clowning as usual.
Even in a half decent climate,should the likes of Okorocha,the 2 Orjis,and many other ex governors,be holding or vying for any office?
This is a man that deliberately refused honouring EFCC invitation all the while,now clowning around that he is being arrested now due to his presidential ambition.

Corporate2020:


Don't praise a fool because you met an idiot.

Wao!That is so apt!!

I don't see why Buhari should complete his tenure,despite still having just about a year to go.
A man so incompetent as Buhari,as terrible as things are,could even make it unbelievably worse in the few months he has left.
In medical parlance they would say the patient's situation is bad, but he/she is in "critical but stable condition".An interim 10months rule by the VP can ensure that,rather than allow the critical condition,as terrible as it is,to go to the point of no return,ie,fatal,under the remaining months of the herder.

uBuNiT:
The lady lynched today in Sokoto state, Please where is her state of origin ? We need to know because the sudden change of her surename from Samuel to Yakubu is VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Which state is Deborah from PLEASE ?

What has her state of origin got to do with the fact that she was lynched.
So if she is from Chinook in Borno,Taraba or Nassarawa state you would be happy,but if from the south you would be angry.
It's like asking if she was beautiful or ugly to determine how you would feel!

Atiku,Buhari,Tambuwal,most Northern Muslims, including the believed highly educated ones,will openly or clandestinely support the lynching of that girl.
That is how their brain is wired.Hate, inferiority complex,and support of murders once they perceive their prophet is insulted.
This is a religion and region that believe it's blasphemy portraying Muhammed on TV screens.
The same Muhammed that was born of a woman and interacted with people,had sex,when alive.
Yet,years after his death mere portrayal of him is seen as blasphemy!

SATANICALLY666:


https://gazettengr.com/killers-of-deborah-samuel-overpowered-security-officers-weve-arrested-two-suspects-sokoto-police/

The report that the school hid the girl and was overpowered may just be a cover up.
Even the most highly educated Northern Moslem in Nigeria becomes a fanatic when it comes to Muhammad.
I won't be surprised if it's the school that directed the security guards to release the poor innocent girl to be mobbed.
Bloody,devilish souls.
Good thing their Southwestern brethren are more liberal in their practice of Islam and better enlightened.
No Southwestern Muslim would burn anyone over blasphemy of Muhammad I believe

Asides being monumentally incompetent,one thing Buhari has done over his fated 8year tenure is to completely erase the barrier between what is wrong and right in Nigeria.
There is no longer any sense of decency,honesty and public officials adhering to any norm of decency,honesty and accountability.
Imagine a central bank governor wanting to remain as head of the CBN while also contesting for the presidency!
That is how horrible Buhari has turned all institutions.Individuals carry out acts based on simply what they want,not on commonsense,the legality or the justice of it.They don't even bother about the effects of their s tupid actions on the institutions they lead,service or the nation.
Pity.

Of course no where was it stated in the UK advisory.
I re-read the full report several times and didn't see such.
The final part of the report even explicitly stated each application is still to be evaluated on it's own merit.
When I saw even TheCable publishing such headline even when they published the full report,it just further reinforced my belief that many online newspapers are just glorified blogs,with pretences to being press outfits.
How can an educated journalist find it difficult to read and appropriately interpret a simple report!

RacistProudIgbo:


Then let's be fair on South East or we all are doomed.

Your thinking is flawed and is a typical example of "rather kill whose parenthood is in dispute,than allow any other woman have him/her".
That if the SE would not be given the presidency,than a disaster in the making Northerner should take over from Buhari.
This should not be the mindset of any person that has passed through 8 years of Buhari;it's rather what one would be expecting to hear from an almajiri.

RacistProudIgbo:
Either Obi or North continue.

This is a disastrous and utterly clueless and defeatist thinking.
Yes,ideally the SE should have a shot at ruling Nigeria but any southerner is better than any Northerner.
Any sensible person should reject any other extra day after a Buhari presidency by a Northerner.
They have proved time and time again to be ultra nepotic,parochial and incompetent leaders,firmly epitomised by the 8 disastrous years of Buhari.

We were importers of rice,fertiliser and cement.
When Dangote and other cement producers came on stream,making Nigeria 100% self sufficient in cement,there was no improvement in the exchange rate as expected.
Ditto,fertiliser and rice whose importation was forced.Rather than improve it,the exchange rate became worse.
I maybe a cynic and I hope I am wrong about this,but I don't see an improvement in the exchange rate as envisaged when Dangote starts producing fuel.
Historical economics has shown that for all the noise about self sufficiency with Dangote factories,his acclaimed self sufficiency in different products,has neither improved the exchange rate nor seen to reduction in domestic prices of ALL his products.
Asides being due to monopoly he enjoys,something about the business model and practices of Dangote doesn't just seem to reflect in standard market determined effects on prices and exchange rate.

Many Nigerian policemen are not healthy.
They are alcoholics,womanizers and substance abusers.
To compound matters,they find it difficult to use a reasonable part of their bribe money to access good healthcare.Rather they buy concoctions of drugs from chemists and pay one auxillary to come give them "drip and injections" at home.
To them everything resolves around malaria and typhoid,while many of them are undiagnosed hypertensives and/or diabetics with have heart abnormalities.
The sudden deaths are most times due to heart related abnormalities arising from chronic poor lifestyle and lack of exercise.

How can a transfer be said to be untraceable when it's made to an account number with name?
The only untraceable transfer is one made with cash.

Who wants to vote for this blackmailing clown.

richeeyo:
But some people no get sense ooo
Ship wa alot of people dey comment online say dem go miss going on it, it was more like a museum

Go through the posts of ALL the people supporting Putin and show me one that has ever made sense.

In Nigeria there would have been either of 2 actions:
A massive police refusal of the protest and massive arrests of the few that still dare to carry it out.
Or a massive counter protest accusing the other group of being sponsored to topple the Buhari goverment and praising the goverment success even while other countries are worse off.
One of the enduring legacies of this government will be the stifling of dissent and I fear having been so successful, succeeding governments would tie the same line

GloriousGbola:
There is literally no evidence that this man is a child rapist beyond some hearsay.

Has Seun not learnt from the 25m case against Linda ikeji?

The anonymity of the forum is what emboldens these kind of things.
Reading from the story you clearly see a lot of inconsistencies.
When more bloggers are arrested and jailed or fined for false stories is when you would see a reduction in blog tales like this.
In Nigeria anyone can post something including names and pictures of individuals accusing them of one crime or the other and in cases when it's proven false,the poster suffers no consequences while the image and character of the accused may have been damaged beyond redemption.

Clowns.
Must they announce.If they have the nerve they should attack the convoys.
Their propaganda to their people and dimwitted Putin fans that they have attacked and destroyed 3 S-300 batteries have been debunked by both sides.
US continues supplying Ukrainians weapons,now upgraded on a daily basis and even go as far as making the general route the supply convoys go through known,yet these overrated Russian clowns are making announcements of 'willing' to attack.
An army that even with 450,000 troops could not defeat the Finland in the Winter war of 1939 is being dealth another deadly blow.
Mariupol they have been bombarding since day 1 has still not fallen till this day.
Jesters.

joe54:
At least he doesn't have a corruption case on his neck.

You people have still not learnt.
Buhari was said to be a man of integrity with no dint of corruption.We now know otherwise.
The same propaganda that filled the air about Buhari is the same path people are following.
A man whose campaign opening speech is to continue the path of Buhari shows a man not attuned to reality and not as brilliant as the propaganda wants people to believe.

God bless you Boris.
I just like the sound of that "anti-ship" missiles and "suicide drones".
That should give the madman in Russia something to chew on.
I just wish Putin would do something more st upid that would bring the UK more directly involved.
Twice Putin carried out deadly attacks on citizens in UK and the UK goverment,despite it's enormous military and espionage abilities,did nothing and was made to look very weak.
This is payback time.

Interesting.
Yet,that overrated VP is damn too scared to categorically declare or deny he is interested in the presidency.
How people even want to vote an Osinbajo that is as scared as a newborn beats me.
This makes the battle interesting between Tinubu and Osibanjo.
Yet,PDP wants to drive themselves into oblivion by putting forward a Northerner!
If it's even Tinubu,it's better him or Amaechi than one Atiku that wasted his opportunity in 2019.
But an Obi/Northerner PDP ticket with either a Tinubu or Amaechi/Northerner APC ticket would really be an interesting contest and partly erase the locust,incompetent years of the cattle rearer.
