This my prediction is not based on sentiments or tribalism but based on diff. forms of polls and public opinion..

Southern votes
Peter obi: 40%
Tinubu: 45%
Atiku: 15%

Northern votes
Peter obi:10%
Tinubu: 40%
Atiku: 50%

You have forgotten Kwakanso in your calculations of the north at least. He will likely grab 20-30% of northern votes.

The Movie "Coming to America" just came into my mind. In that movie, u would realize why the prince left his wealthly kingdom, went to America, disguise himself as an hustler in search of true love.

The women make rich men lose their sincerity and commitment because they are constantly being tempted by these women.

Let me start by thanking those that have been mailing me since the last presidential primary of the APC, I really appreciate, I am good and okay, even though I was dissapointed on the turn of events in the primary.Those that have been following my posts and threads can testify that I was so sure of Osinbajo winning the ticket, what prompted this believe is a story for another day but I can assure you that, there was an arrangement in the presidency that influence of moneybags will not be allowed.Anyway, Atiku and Tinubu have bribed their ways into the contest, I wish nigeria all the best, I have dual citizenship of nigeria and france, but I place Nigeria above france in my preference before, but can't be sure of that again, I have never seen a country that is so allergic to progress like nigeria in my life, how can a country that want progress will be talking about Tinubu and Atiku in this century, I am not underestimating the others in the race, but will all know the situations we find ourselves in the country will make it very difficult for someone like Obi to win. I am a yoruba man, naturally I am suppose not to be sad over the candidacy of Tinubu, but I am not happy because morally I can't, even though I am not going to campaign against him, but I will rather put more energy and effort on my business all over than to waste my time on a country that is not ready, I can assure most of celebrating that Osinbajo did not clinch the ticket, you will be the first people that will ask for him after some time, for those that stood by PYO, I can't thank you enough, but you guys will be counted as those that stood by your conviction of a better Nigeria, Osinbajo even asked his friends that wanted to give money to delegates not to do it, the votes he got at the primary were genuine votes from delegates that wanted a better country, some of the aspirants went as far as given 3million dollars each to some governors, 30k dollars each to many delegates and you expect something good after all. A country loved by God will be govern by good leaders. Thank you

You are entitled to your opinion. And everyone like me is also entitled to mine too. You are not the only dual citizen. I am also a British citizen and Nigerian. I was borne and brought up in Lagos. And I know Tinubu from afar but I could see his achievements in Lagos. I have not come across him buying votes but I cannot say it has or will not happen. One thing I know about politics is that it is evolving in NIGERIA. At this moment the foot soldiers of Tinubu need money to oil their engine of canvassing for votes in the grassroots. Tinubu uses money to get good government in place, a progressive government that benefits the masses. No the stomach infrastructure type of government. He did that in Lagos. He is the only practical leader with a vision that I know of in NIGERIA. Oshinbajo has been tested a little, working with Buhari, and we can see that he has failed woefully with Buhari. I supported them into power based on my allegiance to Tinubu. Because I cannot see the Sterling records of achievements of Buhari that could be comparable to that of Tinubu at the time. But I know that Tinubu is a pragmatic and calculative leader who knows what he wanted and how to get it. I am very sure Tinubu cannot be happy with achievements of Buhari and Oshinbajo in power. But they are necessary steps forward before he would take over to correct the damage done by them.

Oshinbajo has no electoral value, even Redeem Church members refused to vote his party in his polling unit at VGC. That’s how unpopular he is among the electorate. How you got your confidence that he would win primary beats my imagination. He was an unknown quantity until Tinubu placed him there as Vice President. I am sure he cannot win any election for APC. And I cannot count on an Oshinbajo leadership because he has not proved to be any strong and courageous leader like Tinubu.

Many of you will say Tinubu has health issues, it is obvious to say the least. We know he had knee replacement. Some people complain of his shaky hands, but he has not told us anything about that. But one thing that is sure is that, he is still strong and agile despite his health challenges. He went to Makka and did Tawaf 7 times round the Kaaba. That’s about 300 metres x 7 = 2100metres unsupported by anyone. That’s a test of physical strength. He also did safar and marwah walking up and down 7 times which is about 200metres x 7 = 1400m. Yet unsupported. What other evidence do we need to prove that he is fit. Many of our patients who had total knee replacement cannot do that. Stephen Hawkings was the leader of scientific world up till few years ago when he died. He was suffering from MS and was wheelchair bound, unable to talk with his mouth. Computer generated his speech through electrodes inserted in his brain. He could not move his hands and legs. Yet, whenever he spoke like an alien through his computer, the whole world listened to him. He was a genius and his brain was functioning even when he was fully paralysed in most of his body. All of Tinubu’s associates speak in glowing terms about his brilliance, intelligence and foresight. They speak about his master tactician ability. And that’s when he has physical health issues. His brain is not affected.

Some people say he has drug issues, I work in drug service and I cannot see him withdrawing from drugs physically even once. Some people claim he set up a tax consultancy and made money from Lagos and it’s exploitation. But the same consultancy is being used in many states of NIGERIA and some countries in west Africa. Can they tell us if those other states are paying less than Lagos for the consultancy service? They claim conflict of interest, but Tinubu did not own that consultancy when he was Governor. So where is the conflict of interest? And why would they attack a company that increased Lagos IGR astronomically to the extent that Lagos is now the 4th largest economy in Africa, starting from nowhere before Tinubu came in?

This man had a vision for Lagos and he went about developing the state, many Nigerians chose Lagos as their destination for economic survival. And Lagos is the benchmark of development which other states in NIGERIA are copying. Tinubu layer the foundation and provided blueprint for development of Lagos. This has never been done in NIGERIA and no state has done that in NIGERIA up till now.

Finally, I have stated this lengthy reply because you said you are based in France and I expected some level of objectivity from you because you live in a country like U.K., where objectivity is celebrated and recognised. You should consider all what I have said above and point out any area where I have not been objective. How could Oshinbajo do better than Tinubu when he has not proved any of his ability now or in the past? Many people accuse me of being paid by Tinubu and I just laugh. How much is naira compared to pounds? And how much naira will Tinubu give me that is up to my hourly salary? The people of NIGERIA must wake up and stop the stomach infrastructure idea. We must follow our leaders based on strong conviction that we are electing a leader who will turn our fortunes round.
We should not use religious or tribal sentiments to elect leaders because they will bring woes on everyone irrespective of your religion or tribe. We should have known that by now, but poor memory is a problem with Nigerians, and we need to keep reminding each other about our responsibilities and our history.
Thank you for reading the lengthy piece.

Why is that anytime I want to touch a gal or do something to a gal when we are lonely my heartbeat increase like mad, as if it want to pop out of my mouth
And if I insist on going on my body will be vibrating or shaking.
What is wrong please

Your body is sounding like a broken plate. Take it for servicing.

You need to put down the dog…yes!

Good morning Nairalanders
Please I need your opinion and advice.
There was this girl that I met about two months ago. Though we were just normal friends for just three weeks and I noticed she really liked me which I did too and as a guy I summoned a courage to ask her out. She agreed with me and we started dating. Actually I am a child of God and I don't indulge in any form of immorality but the problem is this girl, she always make a move for kissing and romancing which has made me to fornicated with her three times and these stuffs always made me sad, felt guilty, even ashamed of myself. What can I do because I really love this girl and I don't want to leave her because she's actually the best lady out of the ladies I have ever dated.
Thank you.

Why date a girl when you don’t want to fork? Are you kidding?

Sweetplum:

Though, I started doubting the story the moment you said, you gain access to their room through the help of the manager. Such unprofessional act

Every manager has a price.

Animegirl:
Most sensible comment!

See the above broke ass men insulting their fellow men. I was waiting for them to defend broke men.

How can a rich man have sincere intention when he is being crowded by hungry girls everywhere? The girls make a rich man lose his sincere intention.
