AMINDA:
Exactly. Tinubu won only 4 Southwestern states out of 17 Southern states. Elrufai and the North made him President. He is now desperate to consolidate his base come 2027 because he knows Northern votes are no longer guaranteed, having betrayed his helpers. Repeating the muslim-muslim ticket again will not amount to much. It has lost its potency. With Makinde withdrawing his support and Obi poised to sweep majority of the South, he may be constrained to only 3 Southwestern states.

And consolidating his hegemony in Oyo State is worth pulling that stunt. The killing of two civilians and an unconfirmed number of security forces all in the name of staged kidnapping to sabotage Makinde's ambition. I concur.

AMINDA:
The moves that Nigerians have seen from the incumbent does not support your assertion that they do not see Makinde as a threat. Someone is desperate to consolidate his home front and ultimately his region by becoming the only Southerner on the ballot. If Seyi Makinde was not a threat, a lot of resources would not have been expended in empowering Wike to destroy the PDP and prevent Makinde from clinching the ticket, even after Atiku Abubakar already left.

Tinubu lost Osun and Lagos in 2023. The highest Makinde would have been able to achieve would be to win Oyo State, which is unlikely given ongoing permutations and current political landscape of the state.

AMINDA:
Only one person will eventually win the election. Are you insinuating that other candidates should be pressured to step down just because they cannot win? When Kwankwaso contested in 2023, his supporters didn't think he will win but 1.4m of them still exercised their franchise by voting for him. That's democracy.

You clearly deciphered my message wrongly. Why would APC orchestrate the abduction of kids in Oyo State just to sabotage Seyi Makinde, a light weight politician. The stake is too high and the outcome isn't even worth it. In the scheme of things, APC at the national level does not consider Seyi Makinde as threat. It is illogical to assume that Tinubu and his cohorts planned the kidnapping just to frustrate Makinde. Insecurity was well documented in Kwara before the incident, what happened in Oyo State was a spill over of insecurity.

Usmanovic95:
100% I support seyi makinde because how can someone declare intention to contest as president and the following day terrorists went to his state to kidnap children and teachers in droves and you expect him to shut up like an slowpoke. If he feels UN will probe it better, I don't think anyone should get triggered by his moves except a guilty character.

It is visible to the blind that Seyi Makinde is not a threat; in the scheme of things, none of the major contenders will lose a strand of hair over Makinde's candidacy. Why should the presidency orchestrate a sham kidnapping to sabotage Seyi's presidential ambition? It is unarguable that Makinde won't even win the South West not to talk of Nigeria. How did we allow politics to trump humanity and our sense of ratiocination. The problem with some Nigerians is that they are not logical. Preponderance of you are so sentimental to the extent that reasoning becomes so difficult. Some groups of people believe that Jubril from Sudan was Buhari...how did we get to this egregious state of preposterousness.

Messi trademark celebration is in memory of his late grandma who was pivotal to his formative years as a footballer. While I am not disputing the fact that he acknowledges God for the copious talent he is blessed with, his celebration has nothing or little do with it.

Ycee is not 29 years old, he is 33. Rushing to post unverified information is another reflection of the olodo uprising.

I can confidently conclude that it is over for Nigeria. To think that Peter Obi also fraternised with this man and would have remained in the same party with him if the permutations favoured him. The problem we have is not a leadership problem, it is citizenship problem. We are not ready for the change we desire and this is why these politicians keep taking us for fools.

the compensation should be for colonisation not slave trade. To think that the West divided and shared Africa like a commodity then decided to exploit all our resources is shameful and unforgivable. That alone has left Africa with a gap that cannot be filled. Conversely, the West is now frowning at irregular migration. They have creatively put in strict immigration rules to deprive Africans. The question is; did they seek our consent before exploring and exploiting Africa?

Femmymata2:
The ruling was based on the constitution of Caf, Senegalese brought great shame on Africa by there walkout. We were all holding our breath while that show of debacle was going. This will discourage any team that thinks of doing such in the future

I was one of the few persons that condemned Senegal despite the huge support they got from preponderance of football fans in West Africa, especially Nigeria. I have always said it that Nigerians are usually sentimental and less logical when it comes to assessing issues. Senegal denigrated the whole competition by discontinuing the game just to amplify their discontentment; a bad precedent just to say the least. To think that most Nigerians supported that act overtly reflects our sedentary thought process. I am an ardent football fan and that was the worse scene I have seen; I am glad that justice prevailed at last and common sense restored. It is illogical to fight injustice with injustice. Court!

bro, you won't understand. If I see power bike alone, the joy in me... I so much love those sound and speed from power bike... And I hope to have one soon. Just Las Sunday, me and a friend enter Osogbo from ilorin wih powrbik and back same day

it is formula 1 not bike racing

This is the simple maths; you are going to spend close to 40 million naira in total. You will only recoup the money and make more if you are only able to stay in the uk beyond your 18 month post study, which is not guaranteed. It depends on your risk appetite and desperation. If you were able to save 21 million naira in Nigeria, you are smart. Meanwhile, I reside in the uk and I can tell you confidently that it is not paradise.

Werey la fi n wo werey. If a neighbour is noisy and after letting them know but no changes, go on a higher level of noise make them also feel am. People don't like when you correct things gently. You have to follow up with madness

Nosey not noisy. It is equally important to take you time to read to understand first before commenting

why are some of those generals in front supporting themselves with a third leg

it is called a swagger stick. It is just a ceremonial adornment.

Hollicom:
Man United is only good at the moment bcuz they play one match per week and you can't equates them with a team that plays two or three matches.... let's be factual here and stop defending senseless absorptions bcuz of love for ones club.

Next season when they play multiple matches it's then you can see your true Man United, for now enjoy the moment.

Mancity won the treble a couple of years ago. Playing loads of matches helps you build and keep momentum and experiments. In case you don’t know, Arsenal is competing for four trophies this season and has been performing incredibly across those competitions. manutd is currently in form “new manager syndrome”. Football is all about momentum. Give these players their flowers and stop yapping.

blowjohn:
But av never seen a military officer greet in this way before

That you have not seen a military officer according a retired senior officer respect like this should not be a basis for condemning this.

Let us forget sentiment, Gumi was a military officer; he left the military as a captain. The problem with most Nigerians is that we assess issues with emotions not logic.

It is semantics. He just mentioned that the election "must" be free not that it "will" be free.

Even terrible for punditry...teaching Osimeh how to score

Lol…guy is just so dry and forcing it. To think that there are lot of better commentators out there.

caprini1:
Somebody please beg Oliseh to keep quiet and allow us watch this match na.😐

worst co-commentator ever. It sounds more like punditry than commentary.

England football players get paid approximately £2,000 per match, though since 2007, they have donated this money to the England Football Foundation, which then gives it to charity. This means players do not receive the match fee directly. The amount is the same for both the men's and women's national team. The super eagles have the most important match of their careers and they decided to jeopardise this because of bonus. There is nothing like national pride.

All through my primary and secondary school no governor visited my school.

people keep complaining that the school is expensive. Imagine having a tete-a-tete with the governor of the most important state in the country. These kids are going to end up growing up with the brightest mentality.

No one does it like him ✅️

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬[/quote]was the north allowed to complete their terms during Yaradua presidency? Did the north allow Jonathan/South south complete eight years?

This war of words go loud sha… let me grab my popcorn 🍿

The hardest job right now is to work as Wike's spokesman. Interestingly, the guy seems to be up to the task...savage responses steady

Kobicove:
For your information in order for a recorded voice or video tape to be admissible in court as evidence at least one of the parties involved must be aware of the camera or recording device.

In the same vein installing a secret camera in a workplace without informing personnel who will be there is an invasion of privacy, this is why you will notice that in supermarkets and car parks where they have CCTV cameras they always put up signs informing people about the cameras.

That is wrong. That is just for deterrence. CCTV is meant to act as a preventive measure. As such, they want you to be chary of your misdemeanour, hence the need to hint you about the surveillance

Massiveglory:
Tinubu to Gej: declaration of state of emergency is a dangerous trend.

Rivers state has not even reached a tenth of events in yobe, adamawa state.
Tinubu as president: Declares state of emergency Because of his selfish greedy evil nature of total self interest.

Lagos: allow obasa
Rivers: rule of law.


Raye was right. Tinubu is a terrible, greedy, selfish , self interest bad being.

What economic value does the North East have? If the presidency had allowed the political crisis to escalate, Rivers State and the wider Nigeria economy will crumble in less than a week.

SeraphicWind:
In Jesus mighty name, I pray that Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nyesom wike will die in Jesus name. Amen.

I pray for their total death in Jesus name. Amen.

I decree the entire collapse of the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Jesus name. Amen.

In Jesus name, I smash Tinubu's head against the walls of Jericho. Amen.

In Jesus name, I remove the life of Nyesom Wike and set him ablaze spiritually in Jesus name. Amen.

I guess you plan to leave this world alive.

AI is for intelligent ones. I know it pains writers that AI has taken over their jobs

That is the bitter truth. Smart and intelligent folks leverage AI for improved and more efficient. I recently attended a conference in the UK where preponderance of the speakers exploited ChatGPT for their presentations. It is better to embrace the new normal or accept to be phased out.
