And those who prefer that state machinery is used to rig elections in favour of horrible leaders are getting ready and jubilating. Those people who do not know how decent societies work. The whole place is littered with dubious and manipulative people. Even the so called poor man who sells water wants to tie horrible water and sell. The mechanic cheats. Bus conductors crooks. Petrol attendants horrible. Drugs fake. Building materials fake. Everywhere wayo and they are happy to live that way. Eggs are boiled with bleaching materials and sold on the roads. Fufu is added something to make it swell. The same as elubo. Wayo all round. School children yahoo everywhere. Who go save this country? |
jesusjnr2020:What the difference between hell and the hardship that the Tinubu who you voted for has put you into? Can you describe the difference? |
aswani:I suggest that you focus on Aswani market. You appear to understand that area more! |
aswani:And you continue like this? Dem take am do una? Who’s talking about truthfulness or not? Can you simply not read what is being talked about with understanding? Is it too hard? How has APC so bewitched you all that reading with understanding has become a big problem? Oga, go back and read what is the issue. If you do not understand, ask anyone around you who can reason rationally to explain it all to you. |
goodlyfa:Consolation. Have you ever heard the “win-win” situation? APC was preferred to win. The biological state of the President. He lost his adopted state in 2023 on the way to the position. He needed to win his biological state as the sitting President, as evidence of his strength as the leader of the party. Winning is a very important factor in securing political offices after elections. Tinubu did not let Adeleke win. He desperately wanted APC to win, but Adeleke and Osun people proved otherwise. He did not do any favour to Adeleke. APC was beaten in the game that they thought they were masters. Following the APC loss, the President must move to stop his party from going to court, seeing that the Adelekes are his people and as compensation to the Governor, who originally would have decamped to APC, if not for the greed and political miscalculation of Oyebanji. Now that Adeleke has won, he must secure the state for Tinubu, as a bargain for his next political office after his tenure as the Governor of the state. So expect the governor to possibly decamp to APC before 2030, if APC wins the Presidential election in 2027. The same will happen to some Governors who are not in APC. They will decamp so that their political futures can be secured. APC wants Nigeria to become a one party state, but they will fail! Politics is arithmetics and permutations. Remember that. |
Broveens42:Today is the 30th of August. When will they complete the signing of any top defender? Which team would make such a sacrifice to sell its top defender at this almost very last minute? Chelsea had more than enough time to make corrections. How can the team be conceding such amount of goals in the first two games of the season? Against Arsenal and Man city, how will they cope? Look at Arsenal’s midfield and defense? Can you not call Arsenal defense complete concrete? Anyway, there’s room for improvement in Chelsea with Alonso as the manager. He should definitely know what to do. |
aswani:Na waoh. Is it so bad like this that some of you never want to read properly. Even when you read, you choose either not to understand or blocks your eyes and ears to very important facts mentioned. Have you not read the request of BAT’s lawyer’s to block the release of such very sensitive documents? Have you not read the FBI asking the judge to keep the details to herself only? Na do una go dey quote words as if una know una left from una right. If asked what the word “glomar” means, you will quickly resort to google to act as if you understand what it is all about. When asked what’s who Greenspan is, you will resort to Google. Please read and let those who are versed in the matter explain it all clearly for everyone to understand. |
Lithiumite:Oga, stop forming “osubi, okpe lga and ibori from Ogbara Ethiope….” as if you have the faintest idea of where those places are located. If I ask you how to arrive at in Okpe or Orogun, you go open mouth down. “ Delta north is a known obidient stronghold but okowa backed by state machinery will be difficult to beat”. Those are you words, stated previously. People on ground in Delta state are telling you the reality and you are busy disputing what they know. Who says APC is not in power there? Who says APC will not fight to retain the seat? You claimed earlier that the realities of 2023 and 2027 are no longer the same and you have been informed that nothing changed with the supporters of Peter Obi. His structure was and has been completely not only retained, but heavily upgraded and fortified. No one should underestimate others in politics. You do not want APC to be underestimated, but in the same breathe you underestimate a person who swept APC and PDP aside easily in 2023 and who is still solidly on ground in the state. You underestimate NDC, just as you all underestimated LP before the 2023 elections. You said “NDC is wobbling”. You are not there in Delta state, you do not know the events there and simply drew your conclusion about what you know nothing regarding NDC in Delta state, just by reading social media pages. “Delta north hates Okowa…”. Who told you that? If Delta north hates Okowa, why did he lose the entire state when he tried to be the PDP candidate in 2023? Or Delta north has become Delta state as a whole? Politics is all about preference. He lost because people saw a different person who they could trust. Oga, talk of the SW areas that you know. Leave the SS and SE areas to those who reside there or who are from those areas. Listen to what they tell you about events and people of the areas and watch. You are only an APC supporter who hopes that APC will win all positions at the ballots in 2027. It is perfectly normal to have such hopes as a supporter, but do not trivialize the efforts of other parties and people who look out for the same positions. “Obi can win delta north but I will readily give south to APC…”. How can you give what you do not have please? You will not vote there. Even if you are from that area, na only one vote you get. |
Kdon2:Come on go and sit down. People wey know something dey talk, you wey just finish primary school dey out mouth. What do you know about what you just said? “He will force them to become Ibo…”. Some of you just let baba so pe mentality to stop you from reasoning properly. Can you say that an Ajase person because he is Porto Novo, that is if you know where that is, should reject his or her Yoruba heritage? By your thinking, an Ajase person in the republic of Benin should not be called a Yoruba person because the border separates him or her from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Ajase people are complete Yorubas, separated historically by wars and colonized by the French. That they speak French does not make them non Yoruba speaking people. The same goes for the Igbos of the Niger Delta for your information small boy. Vote for Tinubu as you wish. It is not in your place to advise others who to vote for. Enjoy your life as a school boy, whose parents are paying his bills for now. |
Lithiumite:Na so. Stop forming “I sabi” so that you will not be labeled Mr. Sabi Sabi. Traversing is not synonymous with being a part of it having knowledge. You no kuku go anywhere. All your journey no pass Agege pen cinema to Mushin, Moshalashi, Okokomaiko to Abule anything. “….you seat in your little corner in the midst of your few friends..”. Sorry young man, you are not discussing with a fellow little boy. Clearly, you proved that you are not from Delta state. How come you want to form knowledge of Delta state, its people and politics more than those who are from the state? How does your visit or traversing translate to political realities? Or you think that traveling around is tantamount to having knowledge of the people and the real desire of those who vote on election day? Please keep your braggado to the SW. Na so una people wey dey do tyler and plumber work for Onitsha and Owerri dey claim say dem know Warri pass Warri people. “Obi cannot beat apc in the Delta Central”. But he crushed the combined APC and PDP in the entire Delta state in 2023. I believe that you were playing football on your street and drinking alomo bitters + action bitters while voters were busy casting their ballots in favour of Obi that year in Delta state. If you manage to get to Warri again, simply ask who’s name resonates more between Peter Obi and your APC candidate Tinubu. Peter Obi scored over 340k votes in 2023, while the combined PDP and APC votes, with Okowa as the VP candidate of the then leading party PDP scoring approximately 250k votes. Perhaps you presume that your crooked leader and your manipulating “state machinery” apply to Delta and Edo states as they are effectively used in your territory. With the hardship and misery inflicted on the already aggrieved citizens of Delta state, you still hope APC will defeat Peter Obi/NDC in Delta state? You must certainly be sleeping and waking with plenty of akpurachia. |
jesusjnr2020:Shame on the King of England. The man does not even know that it is a matter of time before Islamic radicalists push his lineage out of the throne and complete their agenda. Under their watch, there has been a Muslim mayor of London for several years, who has overseen the building of several mosques and destruction of churches. The Church of England is part of the heritage of the British monarchy, but this king continues to play foolish politics, while watching the culture and traditions left in his care getting bifurcated. This millionaire has done very well. Those police who stop Christian preachers are Muslims in the British police. They simply want to do all that they can to stop Christianity in the UK. Imagine that an Iranian millionaire says that he will pay lawyers to defend any Muslim who is stopped from practicing his faith in Iran. |

Teymanhenry:Islamic radicalism and jihadist movements are the challenge of the world. I do not blame European nations like Poland, Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden, who have read the handwriting and have started shutting their doors against their arrivals. Saudi Arabia has a defense budget of over one trillion dollars. Why did they not fight back when Iran bombed their country in the name of bombing American air bases? The same must be noted of the UAE and Bahrain. These people have developed their nations, practicing moderate Islam and wanting to be like Europeans and Americans, living very well. All they want to do is to trade and develop more. They all understand up till today the jealousy of the Iranian leadership, whose only aim is to destroy other nations. The truth remains that the only avenue for peace in the Middle East is a regime change in Iran. Notice that Erdogan, with all his threats and boasts last week ordered his troops and tanks to vacate the border areas with Syria, after Israel bombed the airport? Erdogan is not that foolish. He knows that he can only threaten and not take any action against Israel. He knows that his country will get destroyed and he does not want that. Added to that, history would have told him what caused the fall of the Ottoman Empire and history must not repeat itself. So the only avenue for peace in the Middle East is for the leaders to be honest with themselves. They must complement the efforts of President Trump and Netanyahu, to force a regime change in Iran. Finally, as long as there is Netanyahu as the PM of Israel; as long as MOSSAD continues to lead with spy affairs, I do not foresee Iran possessing nuclear weapons, even if they join the Turkey-Pakistan-Saudi Arabia defence pact. That pact is backed by Pakistan’s nuclear power, but Netanyahu will not hesitate to bomb Iran again, with or without the USA. |
Diligence:Don’t mind them. We all saw Wike openly state that Obi won that election. Kwankwanso knows the difference. He also is riding on the popularity of Obi to prepare himself for 2031. For Kwankwanso, it is rub my back and I rub your own. If he only knew before that Obi would defeat him in the north in 2023, he would have teamed up with Obi. Now he understands the power of Obi’s name. That’s the only name feared by APC and not Atiku. Obi is the only name that worries APC. |
Lithiumite:Oga, stop running your mouth in the affairs of Delta state. You are not from there and have no single knowledge of the politics of the state. Okowa did not fail because of Atiku in 2023. He did not need to sell Atiku. PDP was the party then and had huge popularity. Okowa could not sell himself and failed as the VP candidate because there was a very popular movement in the state called the Obidient movement, fully supporting Obi, completely youth and middle age based who were tired of Okowa himself. Okowa was already tagged as a betrayer, which cost him hugely. Civil servants were tired of Okowa and everyone wanted him out while he was the sitting governor. He lost popularity completely at the grassroots. His last minute sharing of 10k deposits into the accounts of civil servants, with his appeal the night before the election, saved Sheriff who would have been swept away by the Obi wave also. Okowa as the VP was swept away by Obi who was long popular, even before the election in the entire state. For your information, before Wike and his group brought confusion into PDP, coupled with Okowa’s fear of the corruption charge that made him decamp suddenly to APC, it was completely impossible for APC to make inroads in Delta state. The only area APC was found was Delta central, which anyway was the district where APC took off when the party arrived Delta state. Ibori teamed up with APC because of his relationship with Tinubu, allowing APC to gain grounds in the senatorial area, winning his daughter’s seat. Aside from that area, PDP was very solid and the only factor against PDP was a stronger Obi and LP. Delta politics is not an area known to you in anyway. That PDP collapsed all the structures into APC does not mean that all PDP members went into APC. There were and still are those aggrieved persons who never wanted anything to do with APC. There are those who stayed aloof; those who felt left out and have been waiting to deal with decamping PDP leaders who made them feel some pain. Aggrieved foundation APC members who were pushed away by Sheriff are waiting for payback day. The late Chuba Okadigbo once said that in politics you must read the barometer and do the arithmetics. Delta politics typically is described as that. You think that having been rigged out, Ned Nwoko will give up Delta north without a fight? You have not heard of protest votes? Maybe you need to know that Delta north is the border area of Anambra state. Aside from the Igbo speaking citizens of Delta state, those from across the river reside in different areas of Delta north and are Obi’s supporters. The same wind that blew in Anambra state giving Obi victory there, happened in Delta north giving Obi victory there. The Niger bridge is the boundary between Asaba and Onitsha and people walk across the bridge from the two cities. How can you cut off Obi’s voters in Delta north? Obi is very popular in Agbor, Okowa’s place, not to talk of Warri or other major Delta cities across the state. Okowa knows that his battle is not just against Victor Ochei, a well known and seasoned grassroots politician and the former speaker, but also against the name of Peter Obi. You think money does it all? With the youths in Delta state, money is not a factor. Oga, talk about Ogun state or Lagos state. Delta, Edo and the entire south east are you areas that you have visited, reside or have any knowledge about their people and events. You only watch social media pages to arrive at you wrong conclusions. |
Lithiumite:Calm down when you have assumed knowledge of what you know nothing about? What are the dynamics that changed please? Nothing changed between 2023 and 2027 except PDP crumbling and APC taking over for now. Maybe you need to know that Obi’s supporters in the entire Delta state are diehard citizens. Go and ask anyone from Delta state. Go and ask why Omo Agege chose NDC as his destination among other parties. |
Lithiumite:Say what you know. Okowa was roundly defeated in 2023 as the VP candidate of PDP by Peter Obi. He was crushed in his senatorial zone and only escaped in his LG. Delta north continues to remain loyal and a stronghold of Mr. Peter Obi. You may get some t/fare and travel there to see things for yourself. Obi never stopped being popular in Delta state after 2023, rather he won the hearts of more citizens. All you APC supporters always hope for is “state machinery”. You lots should be ashamed that you agree with and choose the path of rigging elections to determine your leaders. How can you not continue to have crooks in position of power, who rather than fix communities, the embezzle the commonwealth. Nwoko continues to lament the primary election that he says were rigged against him by his party. No be only state machinery, na machinery corporation. If the 2023 Presidential and governorship elections were held the same day, Sheriff would not be the governor today. He is lucky that he escaped at the last minute using the same state machinery that Okowa could not use as the then sitting governor to win his own Presidential election a week earlier. |
FSBoperator:A failure and yet a Senator of the federal republic. A failure and yet flies the APC flag in the National Assembly. The same poverty inducing APC that you support? Get married before you can determine who is a child bride and who is not. Talk about your state and your direct Senator instead of Senator Ned Nwoko. If Anioma people had any issue, they would not require your assistance or advise. Please it is better to have a Senator with a very clean record, than one who is a guest to the EFCC and who’s fate over the reported embezzlement of state resources hangs in the air. If Ned was not loved by the Igbo speaking people of Delta state, they would not have voted for him in the first place. Delta north wants and intends to fuse with their kin across the river and it is not in your place to suggest what they want. If you are asked to tell us the meaning of “Anioma” as evidence that it is not Igbo, you will not be able. |
Omoawoke:Oga, the rest room can take two, especially where they have such desire. What you can only debate is that the door of the rest room, whether it was opened or not and the lady stumbled upon them. |
peekay007:Not just white folks, but young people who want to experience sex in the skies. A very inappropriate behavior. It happens mostly when seats around are not fully booked and rows of seats or spaces are available. Sometime ago I was on an Ethiopian airline flight back home to Nigeria. The journey from Addis Ababa had the plane at about half full and funny things were going on. I mind my business. It was very cold up there and the air hostesses did not have too much to do. I believe that the two caught in the act were very exposed and possible did not care much. The pilot was very vigilant and could have reported the matter if she wanted. It is completely not allowed. It’s a stupid behavior. |
PDPdestroyer:The same late IGP Tafa Balogun who was disgraced for corruptly enriching himself? |
So while some Iranian -Nairalanders choose to support the terrorist jihadist regime against the USA, the wise NSA, who is a Muslim, with instructions from the President of our country who is a Muslim too, absolutely trust the Americans to help secure Nigeria. Can you see how it is. Those who you choose out of your blind religious belief to hate, are the same people protecting you and saving you from the hands of your fellow terrorists, whose assignments are to kill and destroy, without caring that you share the same religion with them. “ The most visible dividend is leadership decapitation combined with attrition of rank-and-file fighters. In May 2026, a helicopter-borne assault involving members of the United States Navy’s SEAL Team 6 and Nigerian Army commandos struck a fortified Islamic State cell in the Lake Chad basin, at Metele in Borno State. The operation killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki also known as Abu-Mainok, described by Washington as ISIS’s global second-in-command and director of global operations, together with a cluster of senior lieutenants. Reporting on the raid put the assault force at about two dozen operators and the opposing group at roughly three dozen fighters; Nigerian and U.S. accounts said several top lieutenants died with him. President Bola Tinubu and President Donald Trump both confirmed the result. No U.S. or Nigerian personnel were reported killed. That strike did not stand alone. AFRICOM and Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters subsequently said joint operations in the North-East had killed more than 200 ISIS fighters and several high-value commanders. Nigerian authorities separately reported about 175 militants killed in the first wave of coordinated strikes after the Metele raid, with further action continuing”. The world needs to be free from Islamic radicalists, who see nothing and leave nothing but violence nowhere ever they either visit or reside. Aside from the American collaboration, the Israeli collaboration gradually is taking shape. It is without doubt that Netanyahu is the only world leader who knows that the only language terrorists understand is violence. So while some of the uninformed youths here keep on blindly supporting the jihadist regime in Iran, most of the world wants peace only. |
Helinuse:That’s youuuu!!!! |
ViceGovernor:Monkey sabi jump, no be for where tree dey? Who win league last season? Answer first na. Who cup dey in hand for now? |
Teymanhenry:Your last paragraph refers. There are two issues that must be resolved, which are the contentious issues to the Iranians: - that they must not possess nuclear weapons - that they must ensure that their proxies are disarmed. The world is truly evolving, with science striving to make life more excellent, bringing nations together and trade serving to make economies grow. Unfortunately, rather than fix their country, the Iranians persist to develop weapons of mass destruction to the detriment of their citizens and endangering citizens in the nations where they have proxies. Each time the Iranians appear to have an agreement, notice that they are weak positions and only use such agreements to buy time and wait for another day of war. The war is definitely not to the advantage of the Iranians. Their economy is near total collapse. Even if permanent agreement is achieved, who will pay for reconstruction in Iran? The Israelis, with a far stronger economy are fixing their nation, but the Iranians are not able, seeing that war is just at the corner. The solution should be diplomacy, but looking at the disagreements between the political leadership and IRGC, when will they put their acts together and honestly agree to put an end to it? |
Mattswaggz:Anytime Iranian - Nairalanders say they are winning, simply know that they are losing sleep, crying and feeling deep pain over the physical, economic, structural and emotional pummeling they have been receiving in the hands of the Americans and Israelis. They and their proxies always run out of food and supplies, but they never run out of weapons. Is that not strange? |
ViceGovernor:Who get Benz before and no maintain am come return to leg, e don join the group of trekkers. The former Benz owner fit to dey trek make e be say some trekkers like am na landlord! |
Helinuse:That’s exactly you. Now no peace for you. No sleep, no rest! |
Helinuse:So you can see how you are suffocating already! |
AngelSlay:Look at the game and see that Liverpool does not appear like a team serious to score in this game. Plenty of work to be done with this Liverpool team. I think Nottingham forest may win this match, if care is not taken. |
Helinuse:Aha. So your sleep is taken away! |
SeeWahala:Notice how they are eight APC states out of the ten? Take a look at the entire states and see how poverty is widespread mostly in the APC controlled states? |
