There is a saying that those who fail to learn from history end up repeating history. Likewise an Igbo adage that says "a stubborn fly ends up in the grave alongside the corpse".

I don't know how else to interpret Tinubu's pathetic situation at the moment. This man has been so desperate to rule Nigeria to the extent he couldn't allow common sense to prevail. He failed to read the handwriting on the wall even when it was so clear that it would be next to impossible for him to emerge president due to certain factors.

Ordinarily, one would have expected the self-styled jagaban of Africa and his hordes of online urchins to understand what was happening but alas, they couldn't even see beyond their noses!

Tinubu's situation is very akin to that of Awo and to an extent Abiola. They were all desperate and believed they would rule Nigeria by all means necessary but if there is anything constant with the Northern Oligarchs, they are not just wary of such characters but abhors them.

If only Tinubu and his hangers-on were smart enough they wouldn't have wasted billions of naira on a fruitless venture. Tinubu wouldn't have rubbished himself to the extent of literally peeing and pooing on himself in the name of campaigns when he knew has health challenges.

Now that it has finally become audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the jagaban has been thrown under the bus so unceremoniously, what is he going to do about it?

1. Fight back like MKO did and end up in jail or
2. Forced to take Ratak like Awo did?

Or just maybe, he is not going to believe in Nigeria again just like he stated in a Thisday Newspaper interview back in 1997?

Whoever can correctly predict his next line action will get 20k from me

Asiwaju ti se tan

This has to be sarcasm or absolute senselessness

Afonja desperados in the mud. They think politics is about noisemaking and propaganda.

The bullion van theif thought he could use embezzled money to bulldoze his way, he even thought Buhari was dull. But that's how the cookie crumbles, Buhari must have seen all his shenanigans as comic relief

All these VAT self can be funny, it's a typical case of the more you look, the less you see.

AfonjaEmir:
Noisemaking Afonja miscreant...

Here in Kano the NO. 1 prostitution cartel is headed by useless migrant Afonja females from ONDO/OYO/OSUN....they are a disgrace to even prostitution..

Bleached and dirty skin with culverts of stretch marks dangling everywhere with their disgusting "insecticide perfume".

Even Aboki don't patronize dem, just to let you know how uselessly disgusting they are. Afonja women are despicable public toilets...spits!!

My chest o

Realist12:
I don't do tribalism, but I'm very sure if Nigeria breaks up , the Igbo will know the value of the south west, all this disrespect is because there's no need for visa to migrate down here . I'm very sure if we break up the most sort after visa will be the south west .

Isn't it an irony that same Igbos are the ones most vociferously agitating for Nigeria's break up while same you that dreams of imposing Visa is afraid of break up?

Put your money where your mouth is and support Oduduwa actualization so you can impose visa on Igbos you still can't!!

The first and last afonja to agitate for Oduduwa republic was dehumanized and thrown into a foreign jail yet non of you could even have the courage or decency to speak for him.

You can continue decieving yourselves sha

LeoDeKing:
Investment such as these below abi?

Stop decieving yourself, hawkers in the streets of Nigeria come from virtually every part of Nigeria. In the East, I do see even Hausas and other Northerners hawking pure water, clothes, shoes, fruits, mineral/bottle water etc. Same with bikes in the semi urban areas. However, 100% of those women and girls hawking agbo all over Nigeria are yorubas and that's a fact!!!

When I keep telling ignorant and unexposed afonja people that the only reason why yoeubas haven't been moving out in large numbers to other parts of Nigeria is not because they're comfortable but simply because they can't really compete with Igbos in business and other vocations.

The basic reason why Igbos are all over Nigeria and West Africa is because they're smart and business minded which gives them comparative advantage over others.

Now, the only comparative advantage yorubas have over Igbos in preparing concoctions like agbo and roots, you see their people flooding Igboland!

Now ask yourself, how much are these girls and women hawking agbo making in a day? How much are their men and boys hawking drugs/roots making in a day? Yet they travel all the way from the SW to do that in the SE

If these people have what it takes to dominate business over Igbos, don't you think they would have filled everywhere in Igboland since?!

I laugh whenever they come online to say Igbos are not accommodating bla bla bla, like are we to give them houses and shops for free? Do they give our brothers in their place free? This is common sense but it's never common sense with these people. That "accommodating" rubbish is what they use in consoling themselves after being frustrated they can't compete

PrinceOfLagos:
This is picture of a Yoruba girl selling Agbo (traditional herbs) in the villages of Imo state to survive..

She's going about her normal business without fear or intimidation from the same Igbo people Tinubu supporters always paint in bad light

I am not supposed to do this but, I think it's necessary considering how boastful some Yoruba on Nairaland been boasting that there is no single Yoruba person hustling in south east permanently

I had to stopby to patronize her so I can take close pictures ..

I am half Yoruba half Igbo ... My dad is Yoruba my mom is Igbo and they met and married many years ago and still living happily and respectful to each other ..

The Igbos are hard working and peace loving people..

God will continue to bless the Igbos

God bless Nigeria

God bless president muhammadu Buhari

God bless Lagos

Comrade, it's like you've been away for too long otherwise you wouldn't be surprised seeing this anymore. The number of yoruba girls and women hawking agbo in the East today has become alarming. The cities and towns are already choked up with them and that's why you see some of them moving into rural areas to hawk agbo.

I keep wondering if these ones left their husbands in the SW to be selling agbo in the SE or their husbands/boyfriend's came with them too

If you see how touts (their major customers) abuse them self, you will feel sorry for these girls/women.

It's really a pity

helinues:
Then add subsidy that FG must have paid on the stolen crude oil.

Oh my Nigeria

You really must be daft, and it's quite unfortunate you will always rush to be the first to comment, thereby spreading your ignorance to others.

What do you mean by the rubbish you wrote above?

Who told you federal government pays subsidy on crude oil exports?

Do you even understand what subsidy is?

Do you understand what crude oil export is?

Do you even understand what crude oil theft is all about?

Yet you open your ewedu mouth waaa to say nonsense.

Subsidy is only paid on petroleum products imported into Nigeria from abroad in other to make it cheaper for Nigerians to buy at the fuel stations!

Instead of always spewing ignorant trash on nairaland, why not return to school and gain knowledge?!

What is really going on please, only one person has been campaigning desperately in APC since, e come dey look like say na only am waka come. While others kept a studied silence, the desperado was all over the place like he is King Kong whereas he was just an old and sick man with loads of stolen money to throw around.

The funny thing was that some Northerners even encouraged him by telling him the sort of things he would like to hear just to massage his ego. One would even assume that he is already the president and only waiting for official confirmation.

However, 24 HOURS TO THE APC PRIMARY & WE ARE NOW HEARING OF A CONSENSUS CANDIDATE THAT HAS REMAINED TOP SECRET!

How is Buhari able to pull such stunt off in this age of internet and FOI? Not even Premium Times and Sahara Reporters have been able to unravel who the annointed candidate is?! No be juju be that

Something I already knew since! How Tinubu and yorubas believed they would succeed Buhari is what baffles me. Like seriously, these guys actually thought Fulanis and Northerners are so stupid to allow them dominate Nigeria politically? That's exactly what it will mean should Tinubu or any yoruba succeed Buhari.

Yet it's even funny how they claim to be politically sophisticated when they can't even see beyond their noses.

Talk about history always repeating itself, Awolowo, MKO and now Tinubu.

Deja Vu!!!

Truthisunique3:
lol, which 19 governor's

Clowns you have such numbers na him buhari and his governor's dey decide for apc

Joke on you, the north is a moving train, south west are the ones playing catch up

QuotaSystem:
When last did Enugu produce any coal with its dilapidated mines? The SE myopic politics does not help their economics but they are too blind and consumed by hate to realize it.

Quota system olodo, who is still talking about a dirty fossil fuel like coal when gas is in excess across Igboland?

You have worse myopic leaders that's why your region is rotten and can't be compared to Igboland that has the best developmental indices.

Well, she has tried by apologizing. Please everyone should let her be, the attack she faced was too much for one person to bear on top a dirty slap too

Sergio101:
Lol .
Very funny.

Reminds me of something Sha but let's not go stupid .

Whatever your mind is telling you never happened, but let's not go stupid if I may borrow your own phrase.

Even roadside political analysts already knows it would be easier for a carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than Tinubu to clinch APC ticket talk more of becoming president. Yet it baffles me how those that arrogate fake sophistication to themselves can't even see beyond their noses.

I just hope tinubu won't die of heart attack when he is finally humiliated after all his stubbornness and jamborees.

tamdun:
let me guess, he'll later step down for atiku with the hope that atiku will make him vice?

You're right! The laickadaisical attitude he displayed in the declaration speaks volumes. For some reasons I can't explain, Peter Obi is more comfortable acting as Vice president to Atiku than contesting for president.

He was even present at Atiku's declaration yesterday only to announce his own behind closed doors today

IGBOSON1:
He tried if we're to be honest. Notice there's hardly any open gutters like most if not all of our major cities in the south-east have. The streets....esp' in the highbrow areas are swept and marked accordingly. What ruins the view a bit are all those exposed electricity/communication cables and wires criss-crossing all over the place.

You should learn how to be matured in your posts and stop sounding like a kid. Which GRA's in Nigerian cities don't have covered drains? Or are you living under a rock? Even Aba GRA has covered drains too! Yet you had to bring the entire SE under down due to your ignorance.

Wike did nothing outstanding, if you know P.H over the years. It is such celebration of mediocrity that makes these governors to steal billions and stash abroad after constructing a couple of flyovers and roads.

The village op who obviously hasn't traveled outside P.H before is comparing this environment that looks worse than the Projects to Dubai. You can't even compare this to some second tier African cities like Accra, Mombasa etc.

LeoDeKing:
Really?

But according to congo jews, Nigeria is ranked the least in food security both globally and regionally.

Anyway, thumb up to the core North and middle belt for this feat.

Still wondering what some barren villages contribute to the economy of this country other than crime.

Illiteracy is your problem. The report ranked Nigeria 97th out of 113 countries globally yet this one is here saying rubbish. The mental state of those campaigning for tinubu is very poor.

This olodo is probably suffering and can't afford 3 square meals daily yet he can't even grow a brain.

Rubbish!!

jesmond3945:
igbos am sorry for you guys. You guys dont know what you want. Average north westerner despise him.

That sorry should go to yorubas, una no know anything. In your myopic reasoning you believe an average northwesterner will choose tinubu and despise Atiku?

Abeg leave politics and move over to romance or joke section

Unfortunately, there is no limit to the endurance of Nigerians, you will hear them saying "we will survive" "we will manage" bla bla bla. I have not seen a country where its people celebrate suffering like Nigerians. If others should experience just 10% of what Nigerians are passing through, they will go on a massive protest but these sufferheads will rather complain to God and die silence.

No solution in sight.

[quote author= post=111236567]Richard Madiebo Chief digital officer at Fidelity Bank is now Chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service (AIRS)

Soludo appoints Richard Madiebo as Chief Executive Officer of Revenue Office.

Madiebo, a good appointment.

Anambra will finally get a Digital Revenue and ticketing system, thoroughbred Digital expert.[/quote]Wow, absolute square pegs in square holes!!
The painstaking way Soludo is using in carefully selecting his cabinet shows how passionate he is to make Anambra great. He is just hitting the right cords back to back. From promoting only made in Anambra goods to appointing well experienced technocrats shows his hunger to succeed.

By the time this man plugs all the loopholes that causes revenue losses, I see Anambra generating 50 billion naira annually as IGR.

Such an idiotic lier! The same Nigeria where most people have sank deeper into poverty?

Let them do a new survey and see if 95% of Nigerians are not currently poor.

Danjikanbauchi:
Una done start propaganda again abi. Tor anything that will destroy APC is welcome.

They will end up putting the "mere commissioner" in trouble. Someone that can't even question Junior clerks inside aso rock is the one that is now challenging Buhari

simpleseyi:
Useless goat. So Saraki is now a Northern candidate. His forefathers must be MAD

Afonjas and tribalism are like 5 & 6, how is Saraki not a Northerner when his state Kwara has belonged to Northern Nigeria even before independence?!

His forefathers would be stupid to be mad at him instead of being mad at Afonja who helped Fulanis to conquer Kwara and make it part of the fulani empire.

Kwara is forever gone, forget about the language they speak or names they bear because there are many Northern communities that are now part of the fulani empire whose ancestors had nothing in common with Fulanis.

I just love Jay Jay Okocha, no homo!

He is not hungry, selfish and greedy like the ugly one claiming to be a pastor. The foolish guy even had to effrontery to pray for a sick old man who is already peeing and pooing on his pants to come and rule suffering Nigerians and perpetuate their hopelessness.

SMH.

Timmi:
Hypocrite everywhere. When this Barth Nannies was the Minister of Power, what did he do? He doesn’t need a spokesperson but let him tell us and provide verifiable evidence. That’s the question the so called journalist should have asked him instead of this envelope collecting journalist that we have in Nigeria

Stop talking nonsense!
Barth Nnaji was the best minister of power Nigeria ever had. During his tenure, there was significant improvement in electricity supply in Nigeria.

Today, he has built the biggest private power generating and supply company called Geometric in Aba. Because of his doggedness, Aba is about to become the first city to enjoy constant electricity supply.

Who are they trying to decieve? People are probably planning to protest in Abuja, and they have absolutely every reason to do so! Now, they're trying to pull wool over our eyes by calling it ethno-religious crises.

We know the areas that always engage in ethno-religious crises and it's hardly the North Central.

I like her o, as a strong widow, she try but she don old and she no get work, period. She used her prime to dey chase or allow old men chase her so tey at 50 she don quick old and still no get job despite on top plenty money her papa,late Chief Onoh, take send her go school for 9ja and Uk . Chief onoh go dey regret and turn for hin grave how her daughter don turn. abi u go fit compare her to Helen Prest-Ajayi? if u win beauty contest, e no mean u go turn to ashewo.

dis go teach dos oloshos wey dey form celebrities today wey tink say dem go fine for ever, na so dem too go old like bianca. go learn beta work, ashewo no be work o.

Go see d likes of Kate Henshaw if u dey look for old, pretty wey con get work for hand, no be dem wey be ashewo at 50 like Bianca, according to Ebere obiano. If she get work, ebere no go dey call her ashewo. nobody go fit call Kate Henshaw or Helen Prest-Ajayi ashewo even as dem two no get husband and dem be over 50 years.

I like dem beauty and brains not beauty, brawn and zero brain. tufiakwa![/s]

Unfortunately for you, no one in your lineage since the last 20 generations and even in the next 20 generations will be half as beautiful as she is!

Look at how fresh and young Ben Bruce was in that picture and see how old he is now compare it with Bianca who has remained beautiful and ageless over the years.

Your ugliness must be the reason for your bitterness

Soludo is the type of inspirational leader needed for a state to be galvanized to greatness.

I read his speech and I had a feeling he did not just write it himself but has passionate believe in actualizing the lofty ideals.

Soludo is not just educated and a technocrat, but also smart to understand the most critical areas that could have the most positive multiplyer effect on his state. By encouraging made in Anambra products and also leading the way by using them himself, people will start seeing Anambra made products as premium since the number one citizen of the state uses them. It will lead to more investments in the state, more job creation and retention of wealth.

I forsee the IGR of Anambra doubling in the next couple of years!

I see the state becoming a top investment destination in Nigeria.

Congratulations to REAL Anambra people, you guys have struck gold and I hope Imo State and others too particularly Abia and Enugu will do same because Ebonyi has gotten it right too under Umahi.
