How is this old man NANS president? Does NANS not stand for National Association of Nigerian Students? Is this grandpa a student?

He got his wishes granted, why is he looking like he wants to cry? Tears of joy perhaps.

The keenness of women to get married has always been there. If you are just noticing it, it is because you are getting older and the women you talk to are of marriageable age.

She probably wants him to do a medical course so she can help him come to the U.S. Let your friend do the course, get a job, and use his earned money to sponsor his suppose musical career. It’s easy to blow someone else’s money on an unproductive hobby.

Many Nigerians have this penchant to game the system, to bypass laid down regulations. It starts in childhood and we get hailed for been smart.

Chizzy and husband welcomes baby. What concern you if they were married for 900 years? What if they deliberately delayed child birth. Nigerians and Cho cho cho

Everything about the case is already in the public. They found $1.8m in his account, he agreed to forfeit $430k. If they had compelling proof of what he was accused of, they would take all $1.8m and jail him.

Whatever gets released today, tomorrow or whenever will end up in the same story.

He will make a very fine president. Sadly, he would never have won 2023 election. Atiku would have been the president if Osibanjo ran.

Even if he won, it will just be him getting all the insults Tinubu is getting now. The man is too decent to be a president of a country like Nigeria. Let the dirty people wrestle amongst themselves.

I like the way he moved on with his other ventures after losing out. He isn’t desperate for political relevance like the other losers who have an opinion on everything happening or not happening in Nigeria.

Buhari just wanted to leave a legacy of having the freest and fairest election. He didn’t choose a successor, he didn’t openly support anyone to win the APC ticket.

Tinubu expected outright support based on the agreement they had and got angry, hence the emilokan outburst. Buhari redeemed himself when he voted Tinubu and showed everyone his card.

Buhari could have been more vocal with his support for his party, but the man isn’t a thorough bred politician, he’s just a guy loved by the north.

Governors allocation has gone up x 3, local government are getting paid their own too. You think these people want to go back to the old ways? Those of you asking where Tinubu will get votes from, e go clear for una eye Sam Sam.

yinkeys:
With all the coalition meetings we’ve been hearing will go on lately
Wasn’t like that back then
Politicians like kwankwaso, Atiku, Obi learnt their lesson in 2023
They have a better understanding of what to do
If those 3, rufai & others form a strong bloc
It won’t be that easy for govt
FG have already captured Rivers state right now though lol - so Rivers is automatically APC
I think it will be like that till 2027 election
Ousting a democratically selected governor
Is that legal in the books?

I’m not discussing what is legal or illegal, I’m discussing the chances of the opposition in 2027. The Northern politicians know the agreement to do one term is not binding so they will only support a southern politician half heartedly. They will support someone they are sure won’t win. Also coalition or no coalition, the person on the ballot matters. Atiku would never have defeated GEJ in 2014 if the APC gave him the ticket.

yinkeys:
Don’t be too sure
If the entire north plans to rig/vote in one person versus the incumbent
We will see power show lol, even if the president appoints the umpire

lol it doesn’t work like that. Asides Buhari, the north has never united for any other candidate. The north is just as divided as the south. No one can rig election outside of power. Why didn’t they rig election for their beloved Buhari since 2003?

No Southern candidate can defeat Tinubu in an election. GEJ isn’t popular outside of power. 70% of Atiku’s vote will go to Tinubu in a Tinubu vs Obi contest.

El-Rufai wants to set up a southern candidate for failure so they can demand the support back in 2031. In the absence of Atiku, who is the most popular northern politician in the coalition? El-Rufai is setting himself up to contest in 2031.

The opposition best chance is to field Atiku in 2027, he will most likely lose again but he’s their best shot.

Do people really make life decisions based on simping or not simping? I find it difficult to believe that a grown up will be faced with two choices and the criteria to make a choice will be simping.

The question for me will be how does it benefit me. Will I marry a wealthy single mother if I don’t have to work again and I can focus on my hobbies? Yes.

Will I marry a single mom if I want kids but can’t have any of my own? Yes.

Will I marry a single mom if it presents clear pathways to opportunities? Yes.

The only catch is I have to like the woman and the child(ren). I won’t marry someone I can’t stand for economic opportunities.

No amount of money is enough. Even Dangote’s $23B net worth isn’t enough, that’s why he’s still working. If you are waiting to have enough before you marry, you will never get married.

Your young and sheltered girlfriend is planning the family income based on her lifestyle. In the real world, people plan their lives around their income, not the other way around.

What do you mean liberate themselves Sowore? To engage in a bloody revolution then enthrone you as president?

What revolution could be bigger than the 1966 coup where ‘corrupt leaders’ were killed? Is Nigeria better now than it was then? Sowore should focus on one, activism or politics. He can’t successfully do both.

The tipping culture sucks. Tips use to be what you gave out of the goodness of your heart to appreciate a good service, now it’s an entitlement.

I’m already buying an overpriced meal, now you want me to tip at least 15% of the total cost of the meal. Some of these waiters make more money per week than accountants and nurses.

When Atiku says Walahi talahi, he means na lie I lie - Tinubu 2023

As we are not privy to the entire conversation, it’s hard to tell. I think the girl wants something serious, the guy wants something casual so she’s listing demands he can’t meet to show her disdain.

The ‘benefit’ in FWB is sex. Simple. Friends with benefit is a term for friends who have sex with themselves. The friendship has to be in existence and they both must see the sex as beneficial. Anything outside that is a misconstrue of the phrase.

We corrupt everything with money in Nigeria. People pay money to get jobs, pay to pass exams, pay to jump the queue, pay to get ahead. Relationship is just one aspect that money is corrupting, it is basically everywhere you look.

This is Atiku and Obi’s last dance. Don’t expect them to step down for anybody. If Tinubu wins again then southerners can contest 2031 elections.

The APC will honour the gentleman agreement of fielding a Northern candidate, the north will then decide if they want a Tinubu imposed candidate or a southern candidate from a different party.

Your tax is a contribution to the government purse. If men were supposed to be sole providers, government won’t deduct taxes from women.

Don’t worry Nigerian men are catching up. Some 25 years ago most Nigerian men didn’t want their wives working. Today most are actively submitting CVs for their wives at various places.

The argument most ladies make to justify not contributing is will you also carry pregnancy and labour. God has shared the procreation process, you don’t carry litres of sperm in your balls, you don’t walk around with something heavy dangling between your legs or an extra 2 ribs in your cage. We are playing our part and we don’t complain. So shut up and play yours.

He doesn’t need your validation to determine his manhood. She isn’t used to splitting bills, he isn’t used to footing the bill of an adult.

In the days when women didn’t work, men were not asking to split bills. Maybe before you want certain benefits ask for the responsibilities. You want management jobs but when it’s time to do overtime you remember you have children. You want a seat at the table but when the CEO yells at you, you accuse him of sexual harassment.

With rights comes responsibility, you have the right to free movement and the responsibility to not trespass. You have the right to free speech and the responsibility to not libel or defame. So also is the right to earn and the responsibility to provide.

If a man is going to be responsible for the bills of an adult woman, he’s better off dating a teenager as the law permits. She’s less opinionated, lesser trauma, better aesthetic and less responsibilities, because what bills does an 18 year old have?

She has written how his life is supposed to go like she’s God. Most of our parents got married at about the same age without having a car. I wonder what getting married early and never driving a car at 40 has to do with themselves.

What did Wike do? Wike has no powers to fight Fubara, it is the people that surround Fubara who are loyal to Wike that are doing the fighting.It’s not the first time a former governor would have issues with his successor. It’s not the first time a minister would have issues with his state governor.

You all should be thankful Wike is employed and busy in the FCT. If he gets sacked and puts 100% of his efforts in Rivers, the state would have crumbled long ago.

Funso Doherty decamping to the PDP is what made Jandor run. He can’t compete with the man for PDP ticket.

The next election in Lagos state will be terrific. Funso Doherty of the PDP, Femi Hamzat of the APC- two very smart men and then Rhode vivour the internet sweetheart.

The opposition continue to underestimate Tinubu. When people support him online, they are paid supporter. When people are at his rallies, they are paid to be there. When politicians decamp to his party, they were paid etc.

When you don’t know a politician’s strength, you can’t know his weakness and when you don’t know his weakness you can’t defeat him.

Tinubu may not have the loyalty of the common man like Buhari, but he has the loyalty of the men who have the loyalty of the common man. The man is an influencer of influencers.

His people love him. I have friends who say the Philippine was safer during his tenure and wished he would run again.

Disgraced or advertised. For someone to be a womanizer he has something many women want.

Atiku was a presidential candidate in SDP in 1993 before he decided to step down for Abiola. Does that mean Atiku owns SDP too? There may be some people loyal to Tinubu in SDP, but saying he owns it is an overkill.

I don’t believe el-Rufai has the character or temper to lead a coalition, if the SDP implodes, it will be because of el-Rufai’s domineering stance and not because Tinubu made it happen.

I hope she maintains the same energy when someone accuses her husband or sons of sexual harassment.

It’s a good thing it’s happening to the senate president. They should come up with laws to protect innocent men from false allegations.

Firstly, any accusation without tangible proof from the accuser should be considered false and punishable with imprisonment or fine.

Secondly, any accusation proven to be false should carry ten years imprisonment, no option of fine. When the accused can prove beyond reasonable doubt e.g. the case of Reno vs Natasha.

Thirdly, there should be a timeframe of when you can accuse someone, so the facts of the incident are still fresh and the accused can reasonably defend themselves. Any accusation from events that happened more than a year ago should be deemed false and punishable with jail time or fine.

Imagine how many men have lost their freedom or means of livelihood because they were falsely accused.

Drugs alter your feelings and your mood. You, for a moment escape the world. You are at peace, higher than life’s problems. It makes people feel good in the moment. It’s a form of escaping reality.

Gambling addiction is the forte of the poor and desperate. It gives them hope. They think they are one bet away from making more money. I don’t understand how anyone can be addicted to losing money. It should be noted that there is a difference between a habit and an addiction.

Which is worse? Drugs is tougher to quit, it destroys you physically and mentally, affects your health, cost more and is illegal.
