NaijaCowFarm: Some of the following presidential candidates who have either declared interest in the 2023 presidency or whose body language seems to suggest interest are either hopeless or at best wasting their time.
This is entirely my opinion and based on the current state of things. I am sure some that you will come here and accept my opinion as law, but please do not come here and type nonsense, I only put things the way they are. If you love to hallucinate, it is up to you. All I expect is your point of view, you may counter my points if you have a superior argument. No abuses, please!
Bola Tinubu: A candidate that is very hard to sell. Age is questionable, background shrouded in secrecy, early education doubtful. No one knows where and when Tinubu got his School certificate but he is said to be a degree holder from Chicago State University. Interestingly, APC disqualified Obaseki because it doubted his HSC certificate. Would the same APC accept a Tinubu without a verifiable School certificate? To crown it all, Tinubu is perceived as corruption personified. His perceived influence in "EndSARS" handling in Lagos and health condition now exacerbated by his latest sickness and relocation to oversea for "health consultation" has just put a huge spanner on his ambition. Of recent, APC structure has quickly slipped off his grips, even foreclosing his leadership with Mai Buni now calling the shots.
Anyim Pius Anyim: This one knows he cannot secure a PDP ticket, he is just wasting time and making noise with the hope of securing vp ticket. Anyim has been in a cocoon since leaving office and suddenly remembers he wants to be president. Even his LGA does not support his "ambition".
Dave Umahi: Not sure who drumming for Dave Umahi. However, he lacks a political base. His state is largely PDP and he cannot win APC ticket, except Buhari opt for him as APC consensus candidate. Even at that, APC will lose to a PDP candidate from any part of Nigeria. Again, his handling of IPOB matter is a derailing factor to his success.
Yemi Osinbajo: A weakling, whom Buhari has stopped handing over to since 2017 after he, a "bat" in the Buhari regime tried to act as a "bird". He and his few noise makers know he is going nowhere. Funny thing is that his benefactor, Tinubu is not willing to help him this time, neither is Buhari. He is at best the "most qualified" without a support base
Yahaya Bello: I still do not know who is encouraging a failure of a governor to be dreaming of the presidency. Funny, Kogi is neither South nor do Northerners consider them North. Bello is believed to be interested in Senate but he may not have the chance as his tenure and the senatorial elections in 2023 do not align.
Orji Kalu: [/b]Kalu is a realist and has approached the 2023 presidential race with cautious optimism because he still doubts his capacity to pick APC ticket. The only trump card Kalu is hinging is a fallout between Tinubu and Osinbajo. If destiny smiles on him, he may be a surprise candidate, but for now, a time-waster.
[b]Okorocha: I do not have to waste time here. His hold to APC is shaky and cannot even win with Imo delegates.
Atiku Abubakar: Anyone would have ruled Atiku out of the 2023 race by mid-2021 when Southern governors were clamoring for the presidency to come to the south. However, the PDP governors have since discovered the deceit in the sudden Southern governors' romance. As it stands, PDP wants to displace APC at the centre and Atiku looks like the catalyst for this job. If the alignments happening in PDP is anything to go by, Atiku might be PDP candidate again.
Peter Obi: Although Peter Obi has not formally declared, he might not be the candidate the ODP could invest 2023 winnable wealth on for obvious reasons. The issue of ipob and their activities will work against Peter Obi securing PDP ticket, however, a vp slot with Atiku is still possible, baring the Wike's factor.
Bukola Saraki: Saraki would have been a great candidate, but the loss of Kwara in 2019 has put a damaging debt to his political sagacity. Going into 2023, Saraki is considered a Northern Muslim, just like Tinubu, he faces the herculean task of proving his northerness to the core north. The South sees him as a northerner by the way.
Kayode Fayemi: Fayemi has been quiet about his ambition. With his tenure as governor coming to an end, there are strong indications that Fayemi might end up picking the APC ticket. Right now, not many are talking about Fayeni, but his governors' forum is calling the shots in APC. Post-APC convention, we will likely see a strategist Fayemu displacing Tinubu and Osinbajo.
The Buhari candidate: Not yet revealed but in Buhari's cabinet. Loyal and unassuming. He might be a last-minute surprise to all APC. Mark you, I am not referring to Rotimi Amaechi. Amaechi is not a candidate the north wants, he is not trusted and cannot get APC ticket.
All the candidates you mentioned above are collosal time wasters. But I will mention a few names like 1) Kalu: Anyone that was there when Kali was governor would swear not to have him take the reins of the country. Problem there is that Nigerians have short term memory loss esp when they are offered money. 2) Tinubu: Same goes here. But it is almost getting clear that he will be president by hook or crook or default. It is a scary thought and will be a catastrophic decision for Nigerians. 3) Okorocha: Doesn't need introductions not cos of his been popular in a good way. His actions in Imo state speak for itself. This is a bullet Nigerians would do well to avoid. The rest, we will have to see.
SarutobiEky: how much will you pay me if it don't?
Money is cheap, talking even less. I won't stake funds in a process that would most probably benefit Tinubu. It has no meaning for me to be right that he will be president.
ipob, it's a free country and you have the constitutional rights to follow, support and vote candidates of your choice, so why is my support for Tinubu burning your whole body? Do you see me questioning all the useless, lazy and incompetent kerosene and wheelbarrow clowns you ipobs vote for?
Go and worry about your own rainbow, and stop trying to commit suicide over other people's choices.
Hateful, bitter, angry, bigoted and frustrated ipob..
Lol, U can support whoever U want. I have no feeling or emotions in that direction for U or for Tinubu. You have a problem and it's immaturity that is worrying you. Your mates have nothing to say that is relevant in this discussion. It's Ur father's mate that I be discussing with. Cheers little boy.
SarutobiEky: olohun. Stupid, people too much for here.. We need to annihilate them.
Calling for war and annihilation at Ur tender age doesn't say much about Ur training. It's barbaric and offensive. Pls don't spew that bile here. Doesn't come down well with people with refined mentality. Like I said, Tinubu will be president even if it's posthumous. That's what the king makers have ordained. It must come to pass.
NGpatriot: What's your business with me because of Tinubu? Freedom of association mean anything to you intolerant and undemocratic ipobs?
Lol, am sure U didn't just throw Ipob around here. Am no supporter or sympathiser of the group or any arms group for that matter. That includes those groups in the west too and Niger Delta. Like I stated and you can quote me anywhere. Tinubu will be your president. Good luck with that
NGpatriot: Asiwaju is not the president of Nigeria and he's not even a public office holder, but world powers dey form delegation to Bourdillon to do ranka dey dey to Asiwaju left and right..
They know what some Nigerians don't know, they know Asiwaju is the most powerful Nigerian and he must be consulted on a regular basis...
Lol, U are on Ur own with the those assessment. Tinubu is Tinubu. God help us when he becomes president
SarutobiEky: are you God? What if he does die before election period, or dies on that seat? What then will you Tinubu supporters do?
My brother are U the one that is going to kill him? Anyways I will bite, if he passes on before the election then he will be made president posthumous. And be governing from the grave. That's how silly our elections are
But how does that concerns us. If the mother and her daughters are old enough and stupid enough to let that happen then too bad. Wetin concern police matter for this one? Where they forced? Had gun on their head? Blackmailed? If none of this is true then nor police matter, unless the daughters were minors
teddybarz: I stop. . Look at her hubby. Mehn dis time i was shocked. How on earth dix lady wil stop me again and told me to collect her number. .
i draw back a little meet her and said oya call the number. .. Then her hubby left us and wanted to walk alone till wen her wife finish buyin wat she wanted to buy.
today i decided to give her a call, she was happy and told me when am i visitin her again. . Mehn i dnt knw what lie to tell her. I smiled again. And tell her i wil cum today. . She said ok. If am coming i should flash her. .
mehn am still in my hause. I dnt knw whether to visit her or not. .
pls advice needed. Why wil she tell me to visit her
Unclesmart12: I met this girl few weeks ago online and we kinda vibed instantly, a couple of weeks later she came over to my house for weekend and we had sex the first night. I asked her about her relationship status later and she said she was in a relationship, though she doesn't love the guy.
She showed me proof of countless times she's told the guy the truth but he would always persuade her to stay with him with hope that she would warm up to him. So she stayed since he was paying the bills.
I can't tell her to leave the guy because I am not ready to pay any bills for anybody now. Just like most Nigerian girls she gets lots of calls, but one made me upset this night.
She was on call with a guy for almost an hour, from the tone of the conversation the guy might just be a friend, because the gist was centered around school and other random stuff. I felt she disrespected me by staying so long on a call and I made my feelings known when she was done. She got moody and stopped talking to me afterwards.
She finished cooking and dished mine in a separate plate even though we have been eating together since she came. She placed the food on the bed without notifying me and went on to eat hers alone. I tried to adjust and kicked the plate away breaking it in the process.
I packed the food and threw it into the trash can, she immediately went to the kitchen and dropped hers too. Took her bath and went to bed, though I know she's not sleeping.
She's supposed to go tomorrow morning and I intend deleting her contact after she leaves, however I really like her. I've not met someone I liked in a while. I don't wanna beg her since I didn't do anything wrong. Or was my reaction to the call extreme??
Should just free her or attempt talking to her? How do I approach it without coming off as weak?
Who is talking about begging? Look youngman, NL is not the right place to seek such advice. They will destroy this Ur fledgling relationship here by the time they are done. One person has to be an adult and so far both of you have acted like children. There are ways to talk this out without begging. For example, go and start playing with her and don't stop till the ice is broken. Then table her 4k-up without mincing words or being an asshole about it. Be nice and understanding but tell here where she made her mistake and make sure to make her understand that it shouldn't repeat itself. Be the man here cos women will always be children in this kind of thing. Cheers!
obembet: The former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba II has react to vice president summit on world economy has disgrace to Nigeria, he share this on his Facebook
Here is what he wrote
VP , Prof Osibanjo, allegedly, the intellectual wing of this government has disgraced Nigerians in his remark on World Economic Forum. Unprepared and unaware of how to present Nigeria’s value to global investors. I’ll explain why, shortly.
Mystiquefia: So I was talking with my mum the other day and she she began to lament abount my aunties predicaments. 3 of them are educated and over 40, yet unmarried The first lives in asaba, she used to be extremely beautiful (and still is for guys who may not be interested in wifing young, energetic beautiful women with fresh blood) and uncouth. She used to attract loads of admirers and guys were trooping in to ask for her hands in marriage when she was in her 20s. She not only turned them down but made mockery of the legit hussling guys at the time, she mocked their financial status and embarrassed those who persisted. Most of the men approaching her at the time are happily married and doing well for themselves now but my aunty is still visiting one prayer house to another seeking the hands of God in her life. I was told she resorted to online dating after men were no longer showing interest as usual and lost huge sums of money in a romance scam.
The latter is the exact opposite of the former in terms of looks and character. This one was and is still very ugly but with good character. She had a suitor who was ready to marry her in her 20s, the man happened to be in his late 50s. She seeked advice from her sisters and friends, they all agreed that this well to do man was too old for their young, albeit ugly sister. They tricked her into believing that she would find young, rich, educated suitors who would seek her hands in marriage in no distant time. They raised the bar so high that aunty suddenly forgot she was a female version of SHREK(ogre), she developed the Prince charming fanstasy and chased this educated, rich old man away. Ever since then, she has been falling for guys who only want to swim, eat her money and run away. She's currently indepted from borrowing a substantial sum of money for a lover to process his visas in a premise that he would marry her and move her abroad once he's slightly settled. This one is frustrated like kilode, I was told she is now dating a soldier and she pays his rents and bills, does domestic chores for him and nigga still cheats under her nose.
The last one had a boyfriend in university days who graduated and got a good job, he proposed to her and she turned him down simply because she wanted to finish her studies first, she is the independent woman wannebe and hoped to be a career woman. Baba jejelly went to marry his first wife and got some children. My aunt graduated, got a job and started doing well but no husband in her 30s. Baba came back and asked her to marry him again but she said she can't be a second wife to dangote let alone her EX. Baba went and married a second wife
So it happened that my aunt clocked 45, and she still hadn't found her dream man and bone of her ribs. Then Baba came back the third time, this time my aunt shamefully agreed to be third wife. Thank heaven's she now has children of her own.
My mum used to tell me that when she got married in her early 20s in the university, her friends and sisters were mocking her that she was going into marriage too early and she should have stayed back to enjoy her life as a spinster. Today shes happily married with grandchildren, while some of those who mocked her then are living miserable as old spinsters, second or third wife's or hooking up small boys young enough to be their kids in town.
So I told my mum squarely that I'm not sympathetic to their travails and that they deserve every bit of it. What are your thoughts about women unmarried in their 30s?
There is nothing to learn from this story. It's just a tired old story of female bashing. A woman doesn't need a man to be happy. Any of these women could have gone and have children by any man and Leiter the man and move on. I repeat, a woman doesn't need a man to make her life complete. That ideology is an old archaic one. Pls there are more important things to think about like Tinubu becoming president
Ishilove: My stowee is: he was hot headed and immature, I was stubborn and immature. We broke up in a flurry of rage and when both our eyes cleared it was too late.
We are still friends though. He is the only one who hails me with a high pitched ''biaaaaatch!!'' and I reply with "your left nyaaaaaash!"
Kai, Freezle my love.
He told me: "Ishi, in my next life I will seek you out, and if we can't be lovers then, I will be your child."
Me too baby, me too...
That is love. Love sometimes goes against compatibility
vasel15: I guess you can't see what is happening all around you, nigeria is dead, 2023 would be the last nail in the coffin of the dead country, how many more years do you need? It is over 60yrs already
vasel15: If this black people from the geographical expression is talking about Tinubu, just know they deserve to suffer, I don't believe in Nigeria anymore, nigeria is gone stop wasting your time
They no longer talk of the inflation and suffering going on in Nigeria, they have diverted your attention
It is Tinubu, shame on you fools
In a sane country the name of Tinubu should not even be on the lips of anyone
you should be charged to court if you mention Tinubu
I have no pity for you people because you are cursed and you deserve to suffer, yes you deserve to suffer and still be a third world poo hole in 2022,tufia
I am a biafran I am not a Nigerian
Hallo, you spoilt an almost good writeup by towing the Biafra line. That was a mistake. It is clear and known that anyone supporting Tinubu for presidency is making the same mistake they made with Bubu. Then again Nigerians have short term memory and only remember when their selfish interests are involved. I mean, choosing Tinubu over Osibanjo is a joke that is not even funny to laugh about. Who has forgotten what Tinubu put Lagos thru? No one. That he is even in consideration is more of a joke than he being elected. They want to cry another 8 years. Then again that's Nigerians for you. They refuse to learn from previous errors.
Realestbae: ode! leave Ur brother's family alone. Mind you is her home nt urs. It nt bad enough that d whole family is leeching on him but U also want to invade her home. African entitlement mentality with their blood is thicker than water but if smtin happens to d brother is d wife that will single handedly take care of d children he will leave behind uncle n aunty go yapa. See Ur mouth like " his own family" my friend his own family is his wife n kids gt that into your head
This Ur comments sounds like it's from experience. I don't necessarily agree with U. Not when madam decides to insult her husband Infront of his younger sibling. It questions who the man in the house is. I can understand madam cracking a dry joke but that comment was an insult that the husband needs to handle. Ofcos his family needs to give them some space and I don't support leeching but here doesn't seem to be the case. Ofcos we don't know the whole story but only what OP posted. Hence speculation mayn't make much sense
Rachel98: Good morning everyone. Hope we're having a wonderful week.
My Elder brother is doing well, no doubt he's the breadwinner in our family But his wife is so rude, too authoritative, she's full of pride and she looks down on people. She see everyone as her employee, she does not care if her actions or words hurts you, she's quick to slap at any slightest provocation. She's an event planner, please are event planners this rude??
She's the main reason why we barely visit our brother, despite we all live in the same city, we feel like a total stranger in our brother's house. Probably she's using "jazz" on him, I don't know But everything she does seems cool to him.
I managed to spend the weekend with them, since on friday she act like my presence irritates her. The maid prepared semo and vegetable soup, i don't eat swallow that like, so she saw me cooking noodles, she rudely said why're you not eating semo? Why are you people so selective? Then she left the kitchen. I just maintained my cool.
Yesterday she slapped her maid just because the plantain she told her to fry wasn't brown enough (maybe she wanted burnt sacrifice plantain). My elder brother calmly said honey you shouldn't have slapped her just becus of plaintain. The next she told my brother was "Defender!! go and marry her nw"
This morning, I jejely packed my belongings on my way to work, I entered my brother's car so he can drop me at the bus-stop, I just told him I won't be coming to his place anymore, once I'm done with work today I'm going home straight. And the annoying part, he would be asking me why? As if he's blind, he can't see how rude and ill-mannered his wife is.
His wife has really separated my brother from us, his own family. We don't even know what to do.
We all know that feeling. The issue is left for Ur brother to settle. It doesn't make anymore sense to say another thing other than that. The only person that can handle her 4kup is her husband and believe me, there are ways for him to do that. I mean her making that statement about his going to marry his househelp is a no go, talkless saying it Infront of his sibling. It's not for his family to handle but him alone.
Realchairmann: This is kinda confusing to me. I've been married to my beloveth wife for 11 years and counting. God has blessed us with three kids of ten, four and a year old. We are having a wonderful Union and time of our lifes.
For sometime now, I've been nurturing the idea of relocating abroad. My wife has BSc and MSc in Microbiology but has been jobless since she concluded her NYSC the year we got married. I'm ready to sponsor her for PHD to any country of her choice to pave way for I and the kids to follow later.
However, she has turned me down whenever I brought up the issue. Her response is always tied around the bond we share and that she can't just leave her kids and travel abroad.
I have a good paying job but I really want her to explore her potentials too. She's a very good wife and an excellent mother but I'm confused why she's skeptical about leaving this Country.
Or am I the one taking too much risk?
Doing a PhD abroad doesn't necessarily means relocation. I just had to put that out there.
funshint: A very simple to do there is to get an inclined plane i.e a large and strong sloppy plank. The animals can easily disembark to the ground without serious shock and fracture to the legs of the animals. Another thing that can be done in the market is to erect a concrete platform where the base of the truck can rest against. The end of that platform will be sloppy; something like an inclined plane. So that animals can easily descend to the floor of the market. From there they can be taken to the designated stalls.
My brother, I tire for the commentary. Just goes to show say na Malam method we been dey watch
nedugroup: Has a US Nigeria lady taken a Nigerian man from African to marry her and live with her in the US. I want to know pls cos I have never heard it.
post=109358218: A Video of controversial Nigerian clergywoman, Evangelist Funmi Adebayo aka Mummy Go, stating that using the word 'Hello' is a sin, has gone viral online.
While preaching in her church recently, Mummy GO who runs the Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God (RAPEC) in Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos, said if you remove the o from Hello, it becomes Hell and so it is a language of sin.
''A bishop from Ghana was arguing with me. He said Evangelist Funmi, we are listening to your message but don't say nonsense. Don't teach us wrong things. I said what is the wrong thing that I taught.
He said 'you said if somebody said Hello, it is demonic. It is not good'. I said yes sair I said so. I never denied it.
By the time you remove o from Hello, what remains? Hell! So I greet you in the morning or you call me and I just mention Hell! It is a language of hell, a slogan of hell.''
