[/quote]Ask Alex Otti, not Obi. Obi didn't organise any rally . He came for the flag off of Alex Otti as the governorship candidate of the state. In politics, nowhere wouid always be bad products among good ones. Personally, I'm not in support of that man called Otti for a moment. He's such a desperate politician jumping from one party to another. His antecedents have shown. He's the one doing all these and I hope the LP should sanction him. Nobody gave me money to organise free medical outreach for Obidatti23 in lagos with my team. Nobody gave us money to buy eye glasses and BP monitors which cost millions of naira.

PoliticsRe: Restructuring: No President Can Solve Nigeria Problem Without Doing This by Eriokanmi: 11:10am On Nov 11, 2022
Toks2008:
Nigeria problem is not really about leadership but of structural anomaly brought about by a failed constitution of 1979 and amended in 1999...This is the reason why any elected president will never make any viable progress because the present constitution is very inimical to the progress of Nigeria.

Even if Jesus comes down to rule Nigeria, he will definitely restructure the entire failed system first before assuming power because even the scriptures attest in the books of psalms 11vs3 "If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"


As 2023 approaches, rather than drumming up support for any candidate or any party, Nigerians should clamor for a total overhaul of the 1979/99 constitution that has stagnated the country for several years because in my opinion, no matter who gets there, no substantial progress can ever be made with the present structure and we will only keep going round and round in circles for many years to come.

More saddening is that the leaders in political offices know this but have vehemently refused to do anything about it simply because the present unproductive structure comes with so much largesse for them.

Nigerians should come together to demand that the country returns to the 1960/63 constitution which reflects true federalism with regions as federating units or restructure the present system to allow True federation.

This will end the economic stagnation of many years, accelerate national growth, put an end to the clamor for secession and foster the unity of Nigeria thereby making her more productive, more powerful and more dominant on the global economic scene.

Before the next President embarks on any task, restructuring must be done else all his efforts will be futile and will end up like his predecessors.
A million claps for you..weldone OP. I've always been an advocate of restructuring. Many among my people don't seem to know why I'm opposing Tinubu's political agenda. This was the man who used to be at the forefront of the campaign for restructuring, same idea which Afenifere had been known for, right from the days of Pa Awo. The moment he joined forces with the APC, he backtracked, not knowing he was pursuing his lifetime ambition codedly. That's a selfish move.

Let every region flourish in whatever they can do best and contribute to the centre. The type of government we run is not going to take Nigeria anywhere. Even in America, each state develops itself with what they have. Some, tourism, some agriculture, some techs , some industries, some oil, etc. America still remains strong and successful. How can we pretend to be copying American system of government but be applying it upside-down?

Some states would just sit down and be expecting a federal allocation that won't do them any good. Some of them are potentially rich but they're so myopic. No thanks to the 1999 constitution. With restructuring someone like Ado Doguwa would tame his manhood and work hard to make his region greater rather than being a parasite, taking from tax payers money to feed his 30 children. There wouid be even distribution of resources with less crowd of law makers at the centre. Its too expensive to run our type of government.

Anyone who had been to Bad Ems in Frankfurt before would attest to the fact that its a replica of Lokoja in Kogi State. There's a town called Gackenbach where millions of tourists visit every year. Yahaya bello is such a myopic governor. Its not enough to allow youths to occupt key political seats. Youths with vibrant ideas are needed. Lokoja is another multi billion dollar tourism revenue which is just wasting away. I've been at the top of the hills before. I actually drove there. Its as flat as a football pitch occupying several acres of land, enough to occupy the entire lokoja residents. There's an elevator in the one in Germany which will take tourists to the top where you'd find restaurants, hotels, hospitals, even estates.

Without restructuring, we're headed nowhere.
We'd end up breaking up

they claim he likes tinubu yet, made a disparaging comment about tinubu the day he came to commission projects in Lagos without tinubu in attendance. He said how can someome sit in Lahis and determine zoning in the APC

Inflation is a global issue. Nigeria isn't alone in this situation. But had our economy and resources been managed well, had no crude theft been in place, we'd have fared much more better as a country. I remember a time the whole world went into a recession. Nigeria didn't even feel it as much as our neighbours and developed economies did.

Today, cefa has overtaken naira,.making naira one of the worst performing currencies in Africa today .

PoliticsRe: Keyamo: Tinubu’s Forfeiture Of $460,000 Was Civil, Not Criminal by Eriokanmi:
Tareq1105:
From the document, was Tinubu charged to any court? Answer before my second question.

Very unfortunate that Atikulooooter travelled to US to bring a dead issue since 2003 as confirmed by US.
You don't have to be charged to forfeit your property, except you dey do strong head or you have veritable info to present and reclaim your thing. American judicial system isn't warped up like ours.

That said, there had been some instances in which some criminal element's properties suffered forfeirure without them being charged to court. Its only when you want to defend yourself that court case would be involved. Tinubu should have dragged the case with them, if he had nothing to hide. He knew what he did so, he allowed the whooping sum to go. I remember the ekweremadu's property's matter in which efcc received the court order for interim forfeirure. If he had the liver and could defend the 10 properties in court, it's fine. Otherwise, those property don enter voice mail like Tinubu's forfeited money be dat

PoliticsRe: Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords In Chicago — Festus Keyamo by Eriokanmi:
Keyamo is a disappointment already. Not even an illiterate would permit anyone to drop money into his account if the source isnt clean, talk more of someone.like tibubu who claimed to have schooled in America. If he wasn't a beneficiary of those deals...

He wouldn't have permitted that arrangement

He wouldn't have opened 10 different accounts in his name with 3 different banks when he's not an entrepreneur of a businessman

Keyamo is fooling himself. Seun was just shaking his head last night at some point on channels TV

No matter how hard they try, Tinubu remains a bad product that can't receive patronage of sane beings
CrimeRe: Abimbola Adelakun: It’ll Be Foolish Of Tinubu To Attend Presidential Debates by Eriokanmi: 9:33am On Nov 10, 2022
Willie2015:
Nigeria is yet to reach this stage ...
The level of literacy in the North is damn low....
Any candidate that can sway the North to his side...
will likely clinch the Presidency...
With a little help from any of the South Region.....
Osun election is a contest btw 2 Osun Indigenes...
Its a different ball game with the Presidency ...
You're right but we weren't where we are today in 2019. Things are changing now. North always counts on rigging. It won't be business as usual. All those ballot papers thumbprinted in abuja hotels won't work this time. Someome would be in abuja for days, monitoring the announcements of results by state and be manipulating figures only to get to the national collation centre and be claiming insecurity and logistical Issues in borno or yobe as the reason for arriving late meanwhile, he's been busy padding election result sheets. Even at that, the results presented wouldn't still tally during announcements. All the drama won't work again with the new system in place.

That said...Jonathan won in 2011 without block votes from the north. The core north voted buhari instead, check the electoral map of 2015 for details and check the voting pattern. Jonathan broke the jinx. Any candidate can win Nigeria's presidency provided he can win massively in the south, a few states in the middle belt and core north. PDP spent heavily to persuade them in 2015 but they still didn't vote Jonathan. When I mean core north, I hope you know the states in this category already. Only vote buying will work out but they're also becoming wise now.
CrimeRe: Abimbola Adelakun: It’ll Be Foolish Of Tinubu To Attend Presidential Debates by Eriokanmi:
Same way it will be foolish to vote someone who can't face the electorate in a debate. The 2023 election won't be like those held in the past because of the measures put in place by INEC. The era of anointed candidates , those who always think whether people vote them or not, they'd win, is long gone. You have to work hard and convince the electorate before they can vote you henceforth. Vote buying is their last resort but the osun's treatment awaits them.

Which useless fact are you talking about? Did obaseki plan to defect? Ortom told his people he was leaving the apc for the pdp and they supported him. Had obaseki secured the apc ticket, he'd have remained. No wonder buhari called you guys lazy when youd not think logically..mtcheew

Yea, but I didn't mention edo's case for a reason. Obaseki wanted running under the apc but was denied ticket. He didn't just make up his mind to leave the apc. Had he secured the ticket, he'd have remained in the apc. In ortom's case, he left the apc willingly for the pdp and people still moved with him, including the apc loyalists and members. Ortom doesn't joke with benue matter as you know. Despite not seeing the favour of the Buhari's administration on projects, he still makes do with what the state has

Tinubu is a divider. That's what he does always. See the way he talks like a thug. He's never a unifier and each time, his followers, most of whom never met Pa Awo on earth would be comparing tinubu with him. Pa Awo never talked so loosely like tinubu. He was a unifier. It was same man who sponsored some people to form the afenifere renewal group all because Afenifere was always opposed to his program after he jettisoned restructuring which he was once known for, just because of his lifetime ambition which will never happen.

The fulanis he's pitching his tents with are wiser than him. They had Ahmed Lawan as their candidate but tinubu hijacked it from Lawan at the primaries with money. If they trusted tinubu, lawan wouldn't
have ever been in the picture. They'd dribble him till the end. Those stooges who went to akure to spew trash would soon vomit their grub. Awon onijekuje. These are the people labelling yoruba with bad names. It's been there since the days of Pa awo. Awon alainironu
