I never said APC win all the states in the north central, I said overall meaning they can lose majority of the states but still win on total votes. A party stronghold is where they win consistently not where they win everything. Even in that se, obi doesn't win all the wards and units...SW is regarded as APC biggest stronghold yet they have never won all the states

At the bolded,
A political party stronghold (or "bastion" is a specific geographic region, city, or district where a single political party consistently commands overwhelming and enduring support from the voters.In these areas, the party reliably wins elections by wide margins for decades.

Which year did APC start winning in the North Central. PDP have controlled South East for decades. APC controls Lagos for decades. Obi is now the New PDP and will continue to win as long as he is on ballot.

You don leave Obi face OBO, this Ambassador to nowhere no go mind his mumu self...leave OBO our man and face Obi. OBO is a real nigga, una yeye Politics no concern him

I never said that governors win states automatically. Governors get you more votes automatically and some actually win you votes if they have the. Capacity and popularity. Since APC came to power, north central have been voting APC steadily. From the electoral analysis, it is clear that they will still vote APC/ Tinubu. I mentioned that all their governors are Apc to show you how dominant the party is and how much the people of NC like APC. Rigging is difficult in NC in my own opinion

Responding to the bolded, there's no presidential elections since the history of APC, where they won all the states in North Central. They always loose minimum of two or three states. Show me let me see. But PDP keep winning South East and South South 💯 untill recently...North Central is never an APC stronghold and will never be. Your strong hold is where your party win all the states 💯 especially in Presidential elections regardless of who is running against you.

Akpakomiza2:
Overall, they have voted APC in totality since 2015 when they flipped. From 1999, they voted PDP thats all the states and FCT except Niger which goes to buhari. From 2015, Niger, kogi, kwara went heavily to APC and benue narrowly. In 2019, nasarawa went to APC narrowly while benue went PDP marginally. 2023, Tinubu won there. He will still win there, all their governors are Apc.

There's no overall behavior of states in Nigerian elections, South East have been voting PDP since 1999, Atiku banked on that and lost. His running mate lost his state too, Lagos have been voting APC/ACN for long Tinubu banked on that and lost in 2023 so if you count that you make mistakes , aslo Governors don't win you states. APC was Governors in Plateau, Nassarawa and PDP was Governor in Benue but opposition won those states. He is our governor doesn't count in North Central and many parts of Nigeria.

APC knows this, many politicians knows this. The key zone that swing to any side is largely the North Central, that's my point. They don't belong to anyone, campaign well or rig well you win there.

Akpakomiza2:
They have always voted APC

Labour Party won Plateau, Nassarawa, FCT and lost Benue by just 2k votes they nearly won Benue...so these are the facts and not the noise. North Central always flips. Today they vote PDP, tomorrow they vote APC, last elections they were voting Labour Party. They don't belong to anyone. It is neutral ground. NDC will flip states there again. Even in the US some states are like that, they don't belong to Anyone. American's call them Swing states. Labour would have won Benue, only the Catholic priest who was APC governorship Candidate made them vote APC with extra 2k votes.

Pacesetter123:
You almost convinced me.
Could that be the reason that that Principal is no longer appearing in a video in captivity speaking again?
The system is not to be trusted at all.
They can do and undo anything for political gains.

Nigeria, don't even believe the Politicians for one minute. People that rented an Aircraft from Ethiopian airlines, painted it "Nigeria Air" and later returned it😂😂😂

Akpakomiza2:
Apart from Kano and se, which states

Bro North Central always flips, they don't belong anywhere.

Openyamind111:
I saw a video of one of the few elites from their side asking a very valid question. Are they influential or just lousy ? No wonder the late President called these people “Small dot in a circle” 😂😂😂😂

I am Igbo bro, so am not here to mock Igbos with you, and I will never mock ur tribe and careless about your tribe. If you check the stats the least abducted and endangered tribe in Nigeria is Igbos...no one kills them like other tribes. So what are other tribes enjoying specially. I discuss here as a regular Nigerian, who is not biased...Tinubu will win the election, that's factual. But no one is spared or free from the what's coming in tht next 4 yrs

AllBlack:
They are just playing political CHESS.

Don't distract us.

De-register all the parties if you like but

BRING BACK OYO CHILDREN

END KIDNAPPING BUSINESS WITH DEATH PENALTY.

I no sure say those children still dey inside bush, all are politics. Fear this country.

Lord of lamba

Go his house...go arrest am na...😂😂😂

franchasng:
Very anyhow Nigerian judiciary thought deserves to be scrapped and allow Nigeria operate without law courts cos their existence serve no purpose

Bros I am not a pro-Tinubu but let's be factual here. This is not my first time hearing INEC deregister some political parties. I know some parties that no longer exist

Openyamind111:
I pity those NDC followers the most.. apart from the naturally cynical chest beaters. Their Gen Z followers will be served hot heartaches again.. 😂😂😂😂

NDC will do well in some states and will flip some governorship and Paliametary seats..but cannot unseat Tinubu. Obi and all of us knows this but one or two persons need to contest against Tinubu, and Obi have volunteered to do so😂😂

Politicstoday:
Efforts in futility here. ADC, accord will lose in the court of justice

Na so e be, those deceiving Atiku wants to milk him all the way to Supreme court, they have now set up a legal team, omo lawyers are bad people. 😂😂

Openyamind111:
For me I actually want them all to participate.. there’s no need to give anyone sympathy votes.. they should all vie.. at least to help divide the votes like the previous election 😂😂😂

This time around Atiku and his gang miscalculated badly. Same here I wanted the votes divided like before. But now, looks like a two horse race APC and NDC, PDP have multiple factions and can be declared they have no candidate. They just dey chop Atiku money while deceiving him because he has failed to play Politics from the grassroots...Obi's bragging rights is his Obidient Army and his good profile. But even in Adamawa, no one knows Atiku. Kwankwaso have his Kwankwasiyya structure and Tinubu have built men, who are now keeping him afloat.

Atiku is never a politician but wants the highest political office in Nigeria by all means

Openyamind111:
Appeal Court will reinstate the party.. and they will contest and will all lose just as NDC will lose 😂😂😂😂😂

Appeal court will declare they have no jurisdiction over constitutional matters, they have no rights to the amend the Constitution or electoral act...they will head to Supreme court, and Supreme court will throw the case out. Wike wants to finish Amechi and Atiku , this time with one stone. His life band is ready to release the diss song he already composed for them😂😂😂

Inside life, Atiku bragged that he is always on ballot since 2007 let's see whether he will be on ballot in 2027 that's 20yrs of political galavanting from one party to another.

engrchykae:
Cowards shouldn't have business with leadership in the first place.
When Bamidele Ogundipe cowardly ran away , it resulted in civil war.
When Good luck Jonathan cowardly allowed Buhari to bully him, Nigeria descended into this mess.
Cowards should be killed not elected lest they cause the death of the people through cowardice

GEJ cowardice messed us up. Simps and cowards should not be allowed near political rallies

“What I Saw At My Friend’s Wedding Shocked Me”

Yesterday was supposed to be a happy day.

My friend finally got married after almost seven years with his girlfriend. Everybody came out fresh, smiling, dancing, spraying money, taking pictures, acting like love still conquers everything.

But something happened during the reception that honestly disturbed me.

While the bride and groom were dancing, I noticed an older woman sitting quietly at the back. She wasn’t eating, smiling, or talking to anybody. Just watching them.

At first, I ignored her.

Then one of the groom’s friends leaned close to me and said quietly,
“That woman almost became his wife.”

I thought he was joking.

Apparently, they dated for years. Everybody expected marriage. According to him, she stood with this guy when he had nothing. Paid bills sometimes. Helped him survive difficult years.

Then suddenly he met this new lady abroad through a relative, and everything changed fast.

What shocked me wasn’t even the story.

It was the woman’s face.

No anger.
No drama.
No tears.

Just silence.

At one point, the groom accidentally looked toward her side, and for about three seconds his smile disappeared completely.

Three seconds.

Then he smiled again and continued dancing like nothing happened.

That moment has been sitting in my mind since yesterday.

Life is strange honestly.

Sometimes the person who helps build the house is not the one who lives inside it.

And sometimes, what people celebrate publicly has a story nobody wants to mention quietly.

I still don’t know exactly what lesson to take from what I saw.

But one thing became clear to me:

Not every smiling couple in wedding pictures arrived there with clean footprints behind them.


Image is from Google

Any girl, lady or woman that was beside a man when he was struggling, she get another guy, not dating only him. Bear that one in mind

Kushites:
Benin was completely burned down, obliterated and looted in 1897 by the British, so it WAS DESTROYED BY COLONIAL INVADERS.

Not just colonised. SMASHED.

YOU YOURSELF WERE DESTROYED BY COLONIAL INVADERS, which is why you call yourself a 'Christian' today, and hate and mock your own precolonial history.

The Benin example is meant to show you Nigerian youths that you had working precolonial systems that were admired as World Class by the same Europeans you worship as gods today.

AND DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ABOUT "HOUSING ESTATES AND FLYOVERS".

IT'S ABOUT LIVING IN A CITY WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FRONT DOORS OR GATES, BECAUSE THEFT IS UNKNOWN.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL CIVILISATION.

NOT FLYOVERS.

THE DESTRUCTION OF BENIN IS ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR HIGH CIVILISATION, NOT MERE INFRASTRUCTURE.

YOUR BRITISH-INVADED COUNTRY OF TODAY, CAN YOU SAY THIS ABOUT ANY CITY:

"The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses."

AS WAS SAID OF BENIN BEFORE THE BRITISH DESTROYED IT?

CAN YOU BUILD A HOUSE IN YOUR CALABAR AND PORT HARCOURT AND UYO TODAY WITHOUT MAXIMUM SECURITY, FENCING AND BARBED WIRE, PLUS GATEMAN?

NO.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE BRITISH COLONIALISTS DESTROYED OUR SOCIETY AND DESTROYED OUR SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES, AND REPLACED THEM WITH CHRISTIANITY WHICH PREACHES "FORGIVENESS OF SIN", IE LICENSE TO COMMIT CRIMES WITH IMPUNITY.

SO TODAY YOU CAN STEAL AND LOOT FUNDS AND ROB AND KIDNAP WITHOUT MORAL OR SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCES INSOFAR AS YOU ACCEPT A FAKE WHITE MAN AS YOUR "LORD AND SAVIOUR".

THAT IS WHY WE ARE DESTROYED BY COLONIALISM.

WE MUST RETURN TO AND UPDATE AND REESTABLISH OUR TRADITIONAL SPIRITUALITY WHICH GAVE US CITIES "WHERE THEFT IS UNKNOWN AND THE PEOPLE LIVE IN SUCH SECURITY THAT THEY HAVE NO DOORS TO THEIR HOUSES".

The bolded makes mockery of everything you just put up here in your reply to my earlier comment. Uyo, Calabar are miles ahead of Benin city, both in infrastructures, security and quality of life. Thieves are more in Benin City than any other South South City. Disorder, the streets littered with waste...I just drive pass Oka Market for Upper Sokponba just now, see pile of refuse like zuma rock...I have also been to Itam market and Uyo plaza, everywhere clean and ordered.

What I am saying is very simple, what your forefathers built that was destroyed by the British, why is it hard for your generation of Benin people to replicate that. Development is not about flyovers and roads, it is about hotels, apartments and club houses right. Is there any sea port in Benin, does the state have its own airlines, what about Benin airport, very small like a poultry house...apart from Presco, Guiness, Notre Dame, which are private firms, which other companies are in Benin. What happened to Bendel Breweries

Leave the British alone, face the reality that Edo Politicians have failed and the people are comfortable with that shouting Oba agha tor kpere upa and down

Colonialism destroyed Benin abi...

Yet Uyo, PH, Calabar and other South South Cities are 1000 years and steps ahead of of Benin city...does it means Uyo, PH, Calabar were not colonized by British...

Na Cultisims, agberoism and mumu Oba wey nor dey allow govenors do their work...dey destroy Benin City...Oyibo man hand no dey...una build wall of Jericho in the middle ages, now wetin hold una to build simple flyovers, modern housing estates, strong roads and control erosion destroying the villages

Kemetian:
According to the UK Guardian Newspaper, ''The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century. The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era.

According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”. Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north.

Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages. Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours ....to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, .... Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.


African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”

At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

UzorIyke:
You're correct, but Alex Ikweche has only one weakness (He's a Muslim) but I will like him to continue from Otti instead of Ogah, but my people will dislike him because of that religion.

Amobi Ogah should be the governor then...

UzorIyke:
Ministerial slot is waiting for him.
But i think he should remain in the reps, he may be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2027.
Let him roll his dice well, because I'm fully sure that he's not going to win even one LGA in Abia state including his constituency he's representing, they can only vote for him for Senate or rep member, but he can't win Orji Uzor kalu in the Senate, and he's already tired of house of rep, that's why he's eyeing governorship.
Alex Ikweche have supporters in Abia State than him, he's representing the most populated area of the state, and also an indigin of Benjamin Kalu constituency and also loved by his people, he's slowly preparing for his governorship ambition after Alex Otti.

Alex Ikweche and Amobi Ogah are front runners to succeed Otti in 2031

God is wonderful, see as he carry better meat bring for him, for inside house..

Make he run am pepper soup asap
