humberjade: I will always choose Osinbajo over Tinubu any day, anytime, but that doesn't mean the truth shouldn't be said. Without a firm endorsement from Buhari, there is no way Osinbajo can win the APC primaries. Out of the top people vying for the APC Presidential ticket, he's the only one with the weakest political base.
Tinubu seem to have locked down most of the delegates...unfortunately too, Tinubu can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Presidency financially to buy the delegates. Except the Presidency somehow successfully imposes a concensus candidate, Tinubu will be the party's flag bearer come 2023.
And going the concensus way means a guaranteed implosion.
Go and research how 2014 APC primaries went and who did what. Do so with open mind
You'll know that he hasn't locked up anything.
But then, in politics, people state what they wish as fact.
Xcelinteriors: I have watched the video and it is an eyesore because they are just minor and don't know the implication of what they are doing. They are ignorant of the danger this will cause to their future. I am blaming the school because why will they allow the opposite sex to stay in a room without an adult supervision? O wrong nau

Supervision?
You know people still cheat in exams, even with invigilator around.
Look, these children knew what they wanted to do. Of course, they'll find a way. It's just that they got exposed this time.
Bad children are giving good schools, bad name. But we blame the school.
That girl was not the only girl child on that trip to Dubai.
Gentlerespect76: Are you working in this school or there is else you know beside that on the public domain?
Look, as a parent, once you send your child off to school, the absolute duty to safekeep and protect the child rests with the school. The parents are not to blame in anyway here because the incident happened far away in Dubai while the child was in custody of the school or through its superintendents (here teachers or other school workers). For the girl in question, it bleeds my heart that you are even thinking of blaming her, a mere child of 10. What's wrong with you? The child is incapable of knowing the implications of her actions at this age. Please stop talking about subjectivity here. I am a parent whose child is at least 5/6 years older than that child. For over 13 years of schooling I pick my children up from school; I know what I am saying.
Actually, you are not being honest. We know it's deliberate and it's understandable.
I don't totally support this... If we keep going through this route, people will not bring out the truth anymore.
Anyone who saw the video, can deduce the truth. Imagine if the school took very strong punitive measure on the children after discovering this, the same society will come against the school.
Teachers who have taught in these schools, know the children are spoiled..
The real teachers with experience know this truth. Children are not even corrected in such schools.
As for supervision, we know that these children will find away to do anything they want. Some even intimidate their teachers.
Ishilove: Whether she was 'riding' whatever or not doesn't make it consensual. A minor cannot give consent to sex, no matter the circumstances. Mind you, if you post any video here, I will report that post. There is zero tolerance for child pornography globally
Your post is a case of trying to kill the truth with agreed facts.
Go to homes, schools etc and see young ones engaging in illicit sex. You can insist that they can't give consent because they are minors. That's for you. the truth is that they are giving consent and having sex, until they are caught and exposed.
All what you see around are the consequences of over sexualized society.
Nigerians will have something to say about the scorecard in the fullness of time. The last time I checked, the Vice President was in charge of the economy.
The above is Seyi Oladejo speak.
The fact is that everyone including You, know this government have not performed well, most people pushing the continuity of this players of this government, are not patriotic. It's all politics of the stomach and bigotry.
gr8cany: When you compare how Npower batch A was handled when being overseen by Osinbajo office and now how these other batches are handled which are not under his oversight, you will have your conscience to judge who could run this country to an inhabitable country we all crave for.
I'm not a politician nor a beneficiary of any political dispatches in Nigeria but in my quest to choose who I would vote in the 2023 presidential election, I think Osinbajo is the right man for the seat.
Happy Easter Nairaland
On what basis ?
Osinbajo's government performed badly and shouldn't be rewarded.
Even Tinubu's men said that in their last press statement.
Except for narrow mindedness, We shouldn't be mentioning some person's with regards to 2023.
Cashsteady: People from the south east are just deceiving theirselves..na only twitter una get mouth..save todays date tinubu is NIGERIA next president..
I don’t even see the man as a worst candidate I’m 100% sure he would perform way better than Buhari
subsidywise18: Now, this is not in defence of Alpha beta, Tinubu, or anybody.
But if you want well maintained roads, then tolls must be collected.
Whatever the party in charge.
Modified
My support for tolls doea not mean i like Tinubu. Plus if Lagosians cannot petition their government to stop alpha beta then its on them. They are the ones backing the corruption there with their goverment
Anyway, our roads are in a bad state naitionwode. And if tolling would help us reduce our dependnce on debt and borrowong to fix them then i am for it.
If there is corruption in the process, it is up to us as Nigerians to do the watchdog job and stop it. Democracy is hard work
holarmy10: I faced the same problem with my F2 like 4 times now, this is what I did. Go to app permission and restrict every app that has access to microphone, restart your phone after that and it should be back to normal. What i haven't been able to detect is the app responsible for it. I go still catch the bastard soon. I'm still observing
forayfleo: People surprised me here in Nairaland, A former Chairman of the largest LGA in Rivers, Chief of staff to Former Governor of Rivers, former Minister of Education Nigeria and currently the Governor in one of the richest state in Nigeria and someone is saying he is not qualify to be the President of Nigeria then who is qualify? Pls tell us.
LegendHero: It is not crap. Like you said, everyone have one benefactor that helped them at one time or another BUT it will be an act of treachery to fail to deny those who have helped us just because of politics.
Prof. Osinbajo himself is not the architect of this misinformation, it is been flaunted by enemies of Asiwaju/Osinbajo. I am just trying to set the record straight to neutrals who might be deceived by the fake rhetoric.
Lastly, Asiwaju started from the trenches, built his way up to where he currently is and pull nearly all of his comrades up to the top. Infact, most of his comrades have portfolio greater than what Asiwaju ever held and yet this man give his full support to them.
When it is now time for them to help him just this ONE time, some comrades showed a trace of ingrate. Normal in politics, coz power is a different kind of demon that corrupt even the most noble of men.
Bros, the government Tinubu midwifed have been terrible and you know it.
PassingShot: I read a NL thread https://www.nairaland.com/7077990/why-tinubu-lose-osinbajo-apc#up suggesting reasons why PYO will defeat BAT in the APC primary election to select who flies the ticket of the party in 2023 and I could not help but to laugh at the naivety and desperation of the writer. Well, without paying any attention to the weak and unfounded reasons he presented in his article, I make bold to advance the following arguments to conclude that Jagaban Borgu remains the only candidate who will win the primary contest, barring any last-minute jettisoning of primaries for consensus which is not even contained in the constitution of APC.
1. Tinubu’s political structure and machineries Even, his political foes will attest to the fact that BAT has built a well-oiled political structure that has not only survived the best of political warriors in OBJ and GEJ (with federal might), his structure has endured the worst of political earthquake and has remained very solid and functioning. In the primary contest for the presidential candidate which will be decided by delegates from APC across the 36 states, Tinubu structure will come in hand to deliver the goods.
2. BAT’s political alliance This is somewhat related to the first point but not entirely the same. In the course of single-handedly building and strengthening his political base (ACN), Tinubu it was who took ACN into alliance with CPC, ANPP, a faction of APGA and a faction of PDP. In fact, most political watchers agreed that the 2 most important figures in that successful alliance that produced APC are Buhari and Tinubu. The rest were only needed to make up the numbers and the spread. BAT has since that alliance built a working relationship with strong politicians in the north. The likes of Ganduje, Ribadu, Ado Dogawa, Ahmed Lawan, etc. are staunch Tinubu’s supporters who will deliver the delegates from that side of the country.
3. Neutrality of PMB PMB remains a political juggernaut whose support and influence can, to some extent determine who wins the APC ticket. From what I have read and heard, it was this support that Osinbajo was looking for that delayed his declaration. Unfortunately for him, PMB did not assure him of anything, instead preferring to be neutral and asking all the contestants to work hard to win the ticket. While it is possible for PMB to have a preference for PYO (highly doubtful), Buhari has demonstrated many times that he handles situations like this with utmost maturity and fairness to all involved. If he has forgotten how BAT deployed his resources to make him defeat Atiku and Kwankwaso in 2014 and to win the presidency in 2015 and 2019, he will surely be reminded by his close allies like Ganduje and the Senate President of this fact. And Buhari will choose to remain neutral. It is PYO who needs PMB so much and not the other way round.
4. Clear message of endorsement by the APC Senate and Rep Caucuses Not many watchers of political development will have missed the enormous support Tinubu enjoys from the APC senators and representatives. They are not hiding it and they have been saying it loud and clear even to the hearing of PYO. You only need to watch the Senate session when BAT paid the APC caucus a visit to intimate them of his ambition. You can also listen to Ado Doguwa’s recent interview on the same subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe6AQllcPA and here https://www.nairaland.com/7079123/doguwa-speaks-bola-tinubus-aspiration. I also read that of the seventy-something invited by PYO for Iftar, only 24 or so honored the invitation with majority of them spotting facemask with BAT logo. These speak volume about their position. They are the people that matter in this election and they are not politicians you can intimidate to change their mind. They believe in BAT and they are ready to reward his past support for them too.
5. Osinbajo has no political structure After seven years of being the VP of Nigeria, it is a fact that PYO has no political base or structure of note with which he can be guaranteed of delegates votes. This is someone who lost his polling booth in the last general election. Irrespective of whatever sentiment anyone in the party top hierarchy may want to have for a PYO candidacy, they will realize what a dangerous option his candidacy represents for their party and they will bury the thought without wasting time.
6. Perception of PYO as someone who cannot be trusted Like it or not, Osinbajo’s declaration has portrayed him as someone who cannot be relied upon. In politics, the currency is loyalty and anyone who is perceived as not loyal is usually avoided by those who matter. Even among those currently propping the professor on, there are those who will be murmuring within their heart that the VP cannot be trusted not to betray them at some point, especially if he becomes president and thus untouchable. I will personally be weary of such character too. Yes, he has the constitutional right to contest but he has thrown morality to the dustbin by standing up to challenge his one-time political mentor. I read a piece about how Tiinubu reluctantly agreed for Osinbajo to be the running mate to PMB out of the three names suggested to him. The fact that BAT’s choice was still going to be picked and that he eventually agreed to PYO being named as the running mate is enough for our erstwhile star boy to abandon his ambition for BAT’s.
Anyway, let’s see how far the support of sycophants and traducers of Tinubu can carry him in his quest to wrestle APC’s ticket from Jagaban.
Passingshot (O.S. Olayiwola)
Without rigging, you know your party can't win this election.
Not those concocted results of 2019. You even said PYO couldn't win his boot. This should tell you the truth.
No sane Nigerian will reward APC with their votes, except for sycophants. Not with this level of government failures.
Mr Enenche's practicing licence should be revoked because of what his wife said?. .. Not what he said or did, but what his wife said?
Mrs Enenche's practicing licence should be revoked because she aired an opinion about marriage that has absolutely no nexus with her medical practice competence or otherwise?.... . An opinion she aired which is in line with the Biblical doctrines she preaches day and night? ?? ?
An opinion she didn't air in her office as a consulting doctor or to a patient who sought her professional medical advice?
So Georgina means to tell us that human beings with brains need to be told to run away from abusive and violent relationships. ..when it's not like they are dogs, cows and goats They should stay in the violence na until they are killed since they have enough sense to enter relationship but no sense to get out when handshake crosses the elbow
With all due respect, [/s]Vagina[s] Georgina Onuoha is mad... She needs our prayers
donpata: Both Reno and Farouk are talking nonsense. The way Nigeria is structured, is there any reasonable work for the VP apart from what the President permits? Buhari na failure and it is on record that he has travelled severally without handing over to Osinbanjo as required by Law. Let's not forget what Jonathan passed through in the hands of Turai and Aooduakan back then. Or better still, can Reno tell us the achievements of Jonathan as Deputy Gov and as vice President?
Resolution of the Niger Delta issues. Or you think Yaradu went to the creeks. It was Jonathan.
MartinsD12: In as much as I must say wike stood for PDP when it was going tough let him caution himself, he alone can't win presidency election, PDP should rally round atiku he is the only one that can match the drug dealer master in eko that's if apc gives him ticket and any candidate apc brings with atiku no problem atiku can match all of them , already pdp has the best squad we have Edo already obaseki will deliver on that he is a strong man , delta is cool etc
CyynthiaKiss: Who knows this clown might end up being the worst Governor in Nigeria.. Did he become a governor to provide for Anambra people or did he become a governor to use Ipob to chase clout ?
What made him think he can achieve what other four governors couldn't achieve jointly alone ? Why can't him leave IPOB and do what he was elected to do.. Setting up committe up and down because of IPOB, granting amnesty to IPOB as if IPOBS are Islamic terrorists that needs rehabilitation ...
Soludo focus on the government, your 100 days in office is around the corner.. Maybe that day you will sing Ipob national anthem .
Idiots ss are free to wail on my mention
Stop supporting ipob rubbish. Does the sit at home, killings and brigandage make sense to you?
It may. But it's of no use. IPOB needs to stop this nonsense. Burning down your state to the stone age is rubbish.
