Politics › Re: Why Wike Asked Permanent Secretaries To Bow Before Tinubu by ElevationD:
Take a bow did not mean “bow down before him”
Take a bow in that context simply meant greet the man, appreciate the man. Ministers to be take bows at the National Assembly. They are not asked to bow down. They are simply asked to salute the legislators. Wike himself took a bow at the National Assembly.

Only God knows what you are smoking for saving Atikulation Abubakar the Cameroon bisexual helped Tinubu to retain Lagos. Same Atikulation that ran away from Nigeria when Obasanjo wanted to lock him up, until a Court said Obasanjo could not arrest him after the Tinubu's Boys took Obasanjo to Court on Atiku's behalf
If you are so young with no knowledge or idea of what transpired, you can either ask questions or make your research. You have rather than knowledgeably contributed to the discussion, resorted to abuse.

You may ask why OBJ easily overran the SW in 2003, while Lagos, which was there for the taking by the PDP, was left for AD/Tinubu. If you were too young then, you have the benefit of research into historical records, to help you further develop your knowledge and ideas.

Atiku, out of his friendship with Tinubu, saved Lagos for AD. Tinubu was to pay him back in 2007, when OBJ dealt with Atiku, stopping him from contesting the Presidency on the platform of PDP.

Wait ooo, so you believe this. So why the Ojota protest against Jonathan?
https://dailypost.ng/2015/03/17/tinubu-finally-admits-he-helped-jonathan-defeat-ribadu-in-2011/

Please read the above.
The same Tinubu shouted that GEJ was preventing him from contesting as Buhari’s Vice President in 2014. The Ojota story was predicated on the greed of some people. They all agreed that it was all politics and that subsidy should have gone in 2014, with GEJ.

Tinubu simply played his cards with the northerners, using his religious status and the political bridges that he had systematically built over the years.

The rest is the history that we now witness, with Nigeria compared to Somalia, under the same Tinubu.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Was Once Sanctuary For Atiku, Ribadu – VP Shettima by ElevationD: 5:54am On Jun 07, 2024
A very reckless talk by this man.

Without doubt, we all know that Tinubu needed Atiku more than Atiku needed him:

1. As the leader of the then PDM, Atiku was about the most powerful politician in the north. With his position, he was able to easily influence politics, without mixing it with religion, to confuse voters. Tinubu was connected to the then PDM, who original leader was the late Shehu Musa Yaradua. When Atiku out of his greed fell out with OBJ, Tinubu offered him the ACN platform with an eye on the center.

2. Tinubu stated clearly that the Presidency was his life long ambition. Supporting northerners by his political permutations would get him the Presidency.

3. He was accused of asking his voters to support GEJ, while Ribadu was contesting on the ACN platform. It became open knowledge when accusations started flying around.

We should not be confused by Shettima who’s trying to paint the wrong picture of the two men.

Politics › Re: Flashback: Why I Opposed Awolowo On Secession - Zik by ElevationD: 11:19am On Jun 06, 2024
smileyoo:
Indeed Mr Azikiwe contributed in placing us in this bondage like contraption called Nigeria because of his fanatical yet unrealistic believe in Nigerian unity as a nationalist, but 6 decades counting, his vision of Nigerian unity is still a mirage, proving chief Awolowo vindicated as a realist and a visionary leader.
even during the Biafra / Nigeria civil war, Mr Azikiwe was still sadly deluded by his personal conviction of the imaginary Nigeria unity, to the extent that he rigidly refused to lend any support to the Biafra struggle and the yearnings of our people, i wish he was still alive to see the precarious situation, that his illusion of imaginary national unity had placed upon the victimized citizens of Nigeria.
Indeed Awolowo was the best president that Nigeria never had.
If Awolowo was a visionary, why then did he go ahead along with the west into independence with the rest of the country?

Since Azikiwe had clearly stated before independence that it would be treasonable, why would he agree with the secession plan, knowing that he along with the east were signatories to Nigerian independence?

Or did you not read that secession was debated deeply and Awolowo took the whole day to present his point? Or you do not know that if Awolowo was not convinced, he would not have proceeded?

The only bondage there simply is the bondage of voting for very horrible leaders. When you vote for those who violate you financially, embezzle the common patrimony, put you in servitude and perpetual misery, do not blame Awolowo, Azikiwe, Sadauna and the rest, who were honest leaders and wanted better societies for their people.

As VP what did he do that was very magnificent?

Take note that there was plenty money during his time o. And less debt
Atiku was not the President at the time. He headed the economic team, an assignment given to him by his President, Obasanjo.

Atiku brought ElRufai from BPE, who became a monster. OBJ brought Okonjo Iweala and Dora Akunyili. Nuhu Ribadu’s profile was very interesting and OBJ picked him, just like Soludo.The team came by recommendation from different individuals, just like Atiku was recommended to OBJ to become the VP. Obasanjo looked at their profiles and employed on the basis of professionalism and not politics. Atiku led the team for one term until politics made him attempt to remove OBJ.

There was no less debt. The debt owed the Paris club was huge among others. Madam Okonjo Iweala had the privilege of attending the best schools and having relationships with children of world leaders, including world leaders too. She leveraged on her personal relationships to secure the debt relief for Nigeria.

OBJ’s economic policies were sound and he had the political will to carry out the policies. Atiku lost his chance of becoming the President when he attempted to subvert OBJ.

BAT made all the mouth. He touted himself as the best thing after honey. The rest is history today. Some Nigerians were fooled by BAT and his group in 2014. He fooled them again in 2024. He continues to fool them.

This is very commendable from Alhaji Atiku. This is how opposition is played, not like the Agulu champion that move around like a noisy market woman.

I bet if Obi asked this question, no one will take him serious although it's critical one because his voice is already lost in his daily cho cho cho. Even the media don't listen to him again. That one will be behaving like a social commentator. Obi clearly has no team or advisers.

I'm sure Tinubu will respond to Atiku. Atiku is voice of the masses in this administration.
Which masses please? You and your group? The APC masses or supporters of the LP/Obi? Or are you a one man “masses”?

Evil men.

Thank God they were apprehended. I also believe that the fleeing one would be apprehended soon. Evil money used to attended foolish owambe and hist their girlfriends.

Someone close to me escaped by God’s mercy last month. He was booked to drive them to Badagry road. That same way they diverted to a lonely and deserted road. They got to a piece of land and asked him to wait. One of the evil two jumped down and pretended to go and examine a fictitious land that they claimed they were building on. The one inside the car took out his gun and held this my friend hostage. He robbed him of his phone and money. Just as he was doing that, his criminal partner called his attention from the land and commanded him to leave the innocent man alone. He used the words “innocent man”. That’s how the thief returned the phone and money. My friend shivering drove back home at speed.

E-hail drivers must be careful, especially when approaching lonely roads. I advice them to, as much as possible, never carry two or more men in their cars. Even women rob the drivers too.

Their weapons are tested and trusted and the world know this for a fact...they have their market and with or without the expo Israel would still make big sales in the weapon market...!!

Macron is simply afraid of backlash from the islamist the French people stupidly allowed into their country...!!

Israel still win here and would continue to win till all objectives are met in gaza..!!!

More bombs to IDF jets and more bullets to their guns...!!! grin grin
The Israelis lose market to their competitors, with the following world arms market export rating:

1. USA 42%
2. France 11%
3. Russia 11%
4. China 5.8%
5. German 5.6%
6. Italy 4.3%
7. UK 3.7%
8. Spain 2.7%
9. Of course Israel @ 2.4%
10. South Korea 2%

That show enables arms producers showcase what their latest wares and technology. Some are kept secret too. Huge transactions are made there. Israel is not ranked among the top 10 for nothing.

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Congress Passes Bill To Sanction ICC As It Seeks Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu by ElevationD: 9:04am On Jun 05, 2024
jrizlybey:
Will Biden approve such? Especially with Democrat majority in senate.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been investigating alleged war crimes committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories, and there have been reports that the ICC may seek an arrest warrant for former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In response, the US Congress has passed a bill that would sanction the ICC if it moves forward with the investigation and potential prosecution of Israeli officials. The bill, known as the "ICC Sanctions Act," would authorize the President to impose economic sanctions on ICC officials and would also restrict US funding for the ICC.

As for whether President Biden would sign the bill, it's difficult to say at this point. The Biden administration has not publicly stated its position on the bill, and it's likely that the administration is weighing various factors, including the potential impact on US-ICC relations and the implications for international justice and accountability.

It's worth noting that the Biden administration has expressed support for the ICC in the past, and has emphasized the importance of international cooperation and accountability for war crimes and other serious human rights violations. However, the administration has also been criticized by some for not doing enough to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the Palestinian territories.

Very foolish of the security men.

Sometimes security personnel, especially the private one attached to banks, act like soldiers on rampage. We have not heard the part of the security men, but with the benefit of experience with them, one cannot but agree that they are capable of forcing things.

However, the strike was not in anyway violent. Everyone either say at home to rest, or went about other things peacefully, waiting for government and the labour unions to arrive at an agreement. Except they were working and beating the strike, there was no need for security men attached to the bank to attack the journalist.

Anyway, if the man feels aggrieved, he can forward his complaint to the police for further investigation. He can also institute civil charges against the offending men, if any.
