When did ability to speak Hausa become one of the qualifications for becoming president of Nigeria?
So those of us that don't speak Hausa should forget about being president of Nigeria?
How about speaking Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Tiv, Ibibio, etc.?

This same Shettima said yesterday that the North should not vote Atiku because Atiku opposed sharia!

Remember: this TERROTIST SUPPORTER will become president if anything happens to BAT! Think about it

Why didn't Tinubu share the 'masterplan' with Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, or even his home state of Osun where he imposed his boys?
Why has he refused to show Buhari the way in the past 7 years?

Lagos is a special case. Marwa was an unknown administrator in Borno until he arrived Lagos.

Igbek76:
Your post election truama is almost here.
Tinubu is a builderof institutions that are already working in lagos and delivery good governance to the people.
E.g BRT-urban mass transportation,rails infrastructures, Marine and coastal infrastructures,RRS for security,LASMA,LARMATA,Alpha Betta for seamless IGR and so many others.
Its you that lack substance intelligence to process progressive ideas.
Tinubu will not only transform the infrastructures of Nigeria but also mentor and produce credible successors/ leaders,that will drive the mordern Nigeria we all hoped for.
Aside nobody is given any ipobs idiot chance to rule Nigeria for now. Your eyes will clear well well after February 2023.

Why didn't the people he installed in Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo and Ondo replicate the Lagos magic? Lagos is a special case bro. Burba Warwa didnt do anything in Borno until he was posted to Lagos. His keke Marwa was revolutionary too

"...AT ALL COST..."

Doesn't this explain what happened to Funsho Williams?

Kutunban:
Where are the weapons?

Same question BAT asked when herdsmen killed Afenifere leader's daughter...'where are the cows'. But later herdsmen were charged to court and convicted. Are you really this daft ?

This level of inhumanity is beyond belief. If this were the villagers or ESN killing Fulani herdsmen, Nigeria army, DSS, Police and all security agencies would descend on the community killing everything that moves.

The Fulanis who are in charge of Nigeria government and all security agencies cannot go after their kinsmen. It's obvious. That's why Nigeria cannot afford to have a fulani man (Buhari) handover to yet another fulani man (Atiku), especially when Atiku himself has been very openly pro fulani herdsmen.

BUNOR84:
Obi's current romance with the Wike's gang who are currently working to pave way for APC to continue in Power further confirm that Obi really do not care about the interest of INDIGBO and Nigerians in general, but unknown to his supporters

Why are crying for Ndi Igbo? Cry for yourself.

Like Buhari like Sowore. Both couldn't improve on their business
Buhari's cows didn't exceed 150 in 30 years. Sowore Sahara Reporters is still an online blog after 25 years of existence.
What magic is he going to do for Nigeria that he couldn't do for his own private business ?

Intellectuall01:
But Kanu cannot be freed if we look at it from a realistic point of view. The only reason they should free him is because, the FG has been releasing Boko Haram members therefore, same should be done in the case of Kanu.

But the problem therein is, if they free this guy, he will go back to his old ways.

Do you know what freedom mean? Freedom is the right to do what you like, within the law, even if the government finds it irritating or inconvenient. MNK is free to go back to his 'old ways' if the courts agree that there's nothing wrong with his 'old ways'. If they don't like his 'old ways', they should make laws to make it illegal but until then MNK is free to go back to his 'old ways'.

fredoooooo:
If you can't act according to Lagos state law , go back to ya state.

Which Lagos law exactly? Does Lagos law say only APC is allowed to campaign in the state ?
This election will come and go, you people should stop destroying Nigeria based on tribe!

Here's my unofficial projection by Zone:

SE - Labour 1st, PDP 2nd
SS - Labour 1st, PDP 2nd
SW - APC 1st, Labour close 2nd (based primary on Lagos votes)
NE - PDP first, APC 2nd, Labour close 3rd
NC - Labour 1st, PDP 2nd
NW - NNPP/APC 1st, APC/NNPP 22nd, Labour close 3rd

I predict a narrow Labour win or a rerun. Note this somewhere

PDP and sharing is like 5 & 6.

P D P ... Share the money! PPPP DDDD PPPP ... Share the money!

I'm sure Deborah would have been very very happy with this type of treatment.

Sannisege:
And they want us to believe that Obi is different.

Donald Duke was one of the best governors in Nigeria during his time. Wike and Makinde are arguably the best governors in Nigeria today. It's a good thing if they will agree to support Obi.

As for Ikpeazu, that one is not even pretending to be governor, he is just Wike's chief of staff.

That's why Fulanis are fighting hard to continue their strangle-hold on Nigeria. They are in charge of everything, including the ports and customs in Lagos. Yet Yorubas and Igbos are busy using their big grammar to abuse each other.

Remember: Instead of Buhari to demand Niger to stop the influx of terrorists into the country, he named a street in Abuja after their president. He built a modern dual gauge rail line to Niger when the rest of Nigeria hardly have any.

Ha, this Obi popularity is really causing some people sleepless nights o. Anyway ...

AS E DEY PAIN THEM, E GO DEY SWEET US. AS E DEY SWEET US, E GO DEY PAIN THEM.

Sowore is a willing toll in all political fights and blackmail. Same way Buhari and co used him and his platform to harass and intimidate Jonathan.
Sowore forgot the cardinal redline of jounalism... YOU DO NOT REVEAL YOUR SOURCES no matter how provoked!

Sowore is not a leader. He directly contributed to how we got here as a country.

Tinubu did not even bother to pick a moderate Muslim. It is a plain truth today that Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen are the reasons for the rampant insecurity in the land. Shettima is credibly accused of being the brain behind BH. Tinubu himself vociferously defended Fulani Herdsmen when they killed Adefarati's daughter by his now infamous "where are the cows" declaration.

How can any sane Nigerian believe that these two will take Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsman seriously?

"This agitation is nonsense for me because even if it was to be Biafra,
Ebonyi will not belong to Biafra"---- Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State

Umahi should stop feeling himself. Who is he to decide whether Ebonyi is Biafra or not?

Why is Ike Ekweremadu always in trouble in Europe every summer?

omenka:
I have said it a billion times. The FG should withdraw every single Nigerian state paid security agent in the East, and redeploy them to places in desperate need of their presence.

When Iboes are ready to end the carnage in their terror scorched enclave, they'd do so themselves.

Igbo people will welcome the withdrawal of all security forces from the east. They are doing nothing but facilitate kidnapping and cover for Fulani kidnappers and criminals. Many communities in the east have had demonstrations asking for exactly that. We are capable of confronting rampaging herdsmen and kidnappers if the army can get out of the way.

The army is more needed in Benue, Niger, Katsina, and Kaduna than in the east. Forget what you read on social media. There's no single refugee in the east. Can you say the same of the north?

Golan007:
These people aren't ready.

Buhari leave them to their devices.

Go and take several seats! Why is Buhari obsessed with IPOB? Is IPOB the major problem of Nigeria today? Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Kaduna people need Buhari's help more than people in the East. There is no single refugee in the entire east today but the north is littered with refugees yet Buhari is not interested in declaring bloodsucking bandits and herdsmen as terrorists. Why this special interest on IPOB? Buhari's plan is to make the life of innocent Igbo people abroad difficult by accusing them of being members of IPOB and therefore terrorists.

solmusdesigns:
he might not represent South East geopolitical zone, but everyone knows an Ifeanyi is as Ibo as a man from Anambra or Imo

Sorry no! It doesn't work like that. They can't choose to be Igbo only when the serves their selfish interest. It's either they are fully Igbo or they are not. Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa and the many other confused Igbo people in SS have spent the past few years denying their Igbo identity. They can't all of a sudden claim to be Igbo just for political expediency. They will be shocked in 2023.

solmusdesigns:
a wonderful choice, cool headed politician with zero scandal

Atiku impressed me on this one..the Ifeanyi in Okowas name means he can represent Ibos as well as Niger Delta

No, he cannot reporesent all Igbos. They already said they are not Igbo. Let him represent himself or Bini people

Two02:

I think I understand Atiku's choice of choosing Okowa over Wike. Okowa seems to be a very calm Man and the Fact that Okowa Is Igbo and from the south south is one of the factors Atiku thought of when choosing him as his vice. He needs someone who can sell well in the south south and satisfy the ethnic sentimentality of the south east.

The only problem I see with his choice is the ability of Okowa to sell Atiku's candidacy to the grassroots. I don't know much about Okowa credibility in the grassroots but the masses of the the south south and southeast will determine who wins this election. Atiku's Popularity has really nosedived in the south since Obi's departure and he needs a vice president who can revamp his popularity

The North and Southwest are locked zones for the aspirants of the two flag bearers 9f the two major political parties. So the winner of the election would be determined by the south south and the southeast, but Any winner would be win with a very small margin. This election is too competitive

Why are you forcing Okowa on Igbo people? Okowa and Wike said they are not Igbo. Leave them alone biko, they are from Bini

If Kwankwaso and Obi runs either together or separately, then both PDP and APC are toast

The cabal that put Uzodimma in office as governor also installed Obiozor as PG of Ohaneze. Uzodimma and the cabal openly supported Ahmed Lawan for APC presidential ticket so there's no way Obiozor can oppose them because they all are playing from the same script.

It is their game plan all along! It is 2015 on a replay. They will decamp to PDP to help get their brother, Atiku, to power.
They don't care about party, retaining power is their priority.

Mokason288:

I’m sure Atiku spent much more

At least Atiku can claim that he has legitimate businesses to his name, even if we know that he looted from the government at one time or the other. But Wike has not worked outside of politics for a day in his life nor has he registered any single business. So how come he was able to finance a multi billion campaign? Wike is heading to jail after his time in office having abused all the people who are likely to be president next year.

Imagine if ESN had done this? Imagine if it were Igboho and his group??
The south would have been burning by now. There will be an order to shoot any moving thing!
The 'bandits' have shutdown a military jet. They have now attacked our premier military school, killing 3 soldiers.
Still, Buhari and co sees Igboho and Kanu as Nigeria's existential problem!
By the way, how can they kill 3 soldiers and not even 1, I mean NOT ONE, 'bandit' was killed?

I feel bad for the guy but we should all learn from it. Morality and Law are two different things. Adultery is 100% wrong but it is not a criminal offence, except in parts of Northern Nigeria. If you suspect your spouse to be unfaithful, try to resolve the issue with your spouse and if s/he is unrepentant and you can't live with the situation, please ask for a dissolution of the marriage and move on with your life.

Waiting to catch him/her in the act should only be to gather evidence for your divorce case. Attacking them is nothing but assault in the eyes of the law.
Really sad, but true.
