You guys drink. Chop and live Peter Obi. Leave Obi alone Jare.

verifiablefacts:

Adexgentle005:

Not all men crave after them. For me they are repulsive.

brain54:

Once you pop them out you realize how unattractive they really are.

They only look attractive inside the cocoon. Once out they look... well, flagabasted!

Legendary!
Point of touch are always the best!
You be Oga!

Eyes go turn people come 2027!
The only stopping is for Obi not to be on the ballots.

Shine your eyes!

Common you guys should go and fix the Wike factor if not nothing can save PDP. Dead and gone!

This campaign of calumny will not save APC. So because of Obi contesting the Southeast will suffer?

You guys really think we are joking this time. At least lemme speak from what I know. Obi knows the states in the bag for him and no Jupiter born of Saturn can stop him from contesting.

APC first point of action is to ensure Obi is not in the ballot.
One idiot from Ohaneze is saying rubbish you are now saying Ohaneze said.

Obi is coming, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River (I don't know of Southeast region wey dey mumu) the surest plugs for Obi. We rather vote Obi and loose than to vote a failure and be smiling.

Continue whining your nipples and tickling your ear at the same time.

Those voodoo deities are what you are comparing the God of the bible with.

I carry yansh for you!

It's not necessary!
Who loves to dance with a mad man?

The Edo State governor is a practical signature of what the APC has to offer.

Buhari
Tinubu
Okpebholo

Can you strike the similarities?
Obi should not stoop so low I beg.

And Tinubu is now the one to pay them back. Keep whining your nipples.

The South will soon prove to you that they trust a norther far more than they do Tinubu

Cmanforall:
Though academic grades must not always show who a good leader would be. But his utterances show he’s not intellectually suitable to be a governor

You still look for a to make excuses for him anyways.
Nigerians... Tufia!

Where is the one of Tinubu?

destinychildolu:
Stake on what?

Stake on what you believe, If you are so sure Tinubu will do 2027 stake on 200k.
Let's just play with that.

Gotocourt:
Atiku is broke 🤷

Atiku will be 80 years old by 2027.
Only a fool will vote for such old man.

destinychildolu:
Obi that couldn't get a total of 100k votes in 10 core northern states. Tinubu will demolish Obi before 10am on election day.

Stake your 200k?
I don't like noise!

Just respond to this message with BET let's go?

Atiku will experience his worst defeat if he stubbornly contest.

Let the campaign begin.
2027 is still far, let's just keep our fingers crossed.

Power Is Not Served À La Carte” — A Warning or a Declaration of War?
Before the 2023 presidential election, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu famously declared that “Power is not servied à la carte.” At the time, many interpreted this as a rallying cry for political engagement and electoral tenacity. However, in hindsight, that statement now carries a darker undertone—one that echoes through the outcome and aftermath of the 2023 elections.

Despite massive support for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, both within and beyond his traditional base, the electoral process raised serious questions. Reports of widespread irregularities, logistical failures, voter suppression, and manipulation of election results severely undermined public trust in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Many Nigerians, including prominent voices within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), openly claimed that Peter Obi was the true winner of the election.

Yet, power did not shift.

Instead, the APC government, backed by state machinery, consolidated its hold through the active complicity of institutions that are meant to serve the people impartially—namely, INEC and the judiciary. The phrase “power is not served à la carte” began to feel less like a motivational phrase and more like a coded justification for subverting the democratic will.

It is imperative that Peter Obi, his supporters, and the larger opposition bloc fully grasp the implications of that doctrine. The current ruling party is unlikely to cede power willingly, even in the face of clear electoral defeat. The events of 2023 demonstrated that retaining power at all costs—even at the expense of public confidence, national unity, and institutional credibility—is a strategy the APC appears willing to embrace.

What Lies Ahead for 2027?
As 2027 approaches, Nigerians must not delude themselves into thinking that the next election will be a fair contest by default. If power is truly “not served à la carte,” then it implies that power must be fought for, not with violence, but with unmatched strategy, mobilization, and unwavering vigilance.

The opposition must:

Build formidable coalitions across party lines and ethnic divides.

Invest in grassroots political education and organization, especially in regions historically neglected.

Insist on electoral reforms that guarantee true independence of INEC and transparency in result transmission.

Prepare for legal and political resistance beyond Election Day.

Leverage public sentiment and global diplomatic pressure to demand democratic accountability.

Reclaiming the Narrative
Ironically, the people are beginning to adopt Tinubu’s own words: Power is not served à la carte. But now, it’s no longer a warning from the ruling elite—it’s a rallying cry from a nation battered by inflation, insecurity, unemployment, and poor governance.

The citizens are no longer naive. From the North to the South, East to West, Nigerians are saying:
“We understand now. And we are ready.”

It is my thoughts that the phrase "POWER IS NOT SERVED A LA CARTE" once used to justify political aggression may ultimately become the slogan for a national awakening.

Because power belongs to the people—and no amount of manipulation can silence a nation that decides to rise.

Shalom!

I write from Port Harcourt City!

lagostrendboy:
Across Lagos, a quiet revolution is shaking the pews of Nigeria’s oldest churches. From Catholic cathedrals to Anglican sanctuaries, many are witnessing a slow but steady youth exodus — and they’re headed straight for the booming, energetic world of Pentecostalism.

This isn’t just about church doctrine. It’s about rhythm, relevance, and the rising hunger for a more personal, powerful, and performative spirituality. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

So why exactly are Gen Z and Millennials ditching traditional altars for flashing lights, fire-filled sermons, and Instagram-worthy Sunday services?
📉 The Orthodox Exodus: What’s Happening?

From Surulere to Ikeja, many orthodox churches — including Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, and Presbyterian denominations — are reporting dwindling youth participation. Young people show up at Christmas, Easter, and maybe weddings. But regular attendance? It’s shrinking fast.

“The service is too stiff,” says Dami, a 23-year-old student from Yaba. “I feel like I’m just ticking boxes, not connecting with God.”

🔥 Why Pentecostal Churches Are Winning Gen Z

Here are 7 reasons Pentecostal churches are pulling in young Lagosians by the thousands:
1. Music That Moves You

Worship at Pentecostal churches sounds more like a live concert than a choir recital. Afrobeats-infused gospel, LED lights, worship leaders with stage presence — it’s a vibe.

“I go to worship nights like I go to parties,” says Bolu, a 25-year-old designer. “Except I leave spiritually full.”

2. Relatable Messages

Pastors speak in today’s language. They talk about purpose, mental health, relationships, career growth — all wrapped in scripture.
3. Social Media Engagement

Instagram Lives. TikTok sermon clips. WhatsApp devotionals. Churches like Elevation Church, COZA, and The New are digital-native and always online.
4. Dress Culture

No pressure to wear head ties or formal suits. Sneakers, ripped jeans, and native wear are all welcome. It’s “come as you are” — and it shows.
5. Community & Belonging

Small groups, singles fellowships, game nights, volunteering — Pentecostal churches are building real social networks that fill the post-COVID loneliness gap.
6. Opportunity to Serve

Young people can join media teams, dance ministries, tech crews, drama units — it’s active, not passive worship.
7. Signs, Wonders & the Supernatural

Let’s be honest — Gen Z is spiritual. They want healing, prophecy, deliverance, and encounters. Pentecostal churches promise (and sometimes deliver) just that.
🙏🏾 The Orthodox Response: Are They Doing Enough?

Some orthodox churches are trying to catch up. Youth-focused services, praise nights, and digital outreach have been introduced — but often feel like afterthoughts.

“We had a praise event last year,” says Chuka, an Anglican youth leader. “But attendance was low. I think they see us as old-school.”

The structure and liturgy of orthodox churches — while rich in history — can feel too rigid for a generation raised on YouTube, reels, and emotional vulnerability.
🧠 What the Experts Say

Religious sociologist Dr. Ayodeji Alaba notes:

“It’s not that Gen Z doesn’t want God. They just want Him on their terms — expressive, immediate, and emotionally resonant.”

He adds that Pentecostalism offers “charisma over creed” — and that’s the language young people speak today.
🗣️ Voices From the Pew

Here’s what some Lagos youths had to say:

Temi (26): “At my Pentecostal church, I feel heard. I’ve prayed, cried, danced, and even gotten career mentorship.”

Victor (22): “I left the Catholic Church because I couldn’t relate. I needed more than rituals — I needed revival.”

🔚 Conclusion: A Church at a Crossroads

As Lagos evolves, so does its faith landscape. The rise of Pentecostal fire among youths isn’t a rejection of tradition — it’s a craving for transformation.

For orthodox churches, the question is no longer whether to adapt — it’s how fast they can do it before the next generation walks out the door for good.

Be whining your nipples! Catholics don't leave their churches. I worked with several Pentecost churches including RCCG and the Catholics I found there most are still Catholics till tomorrow even Osilama who is now a pastor in redeem.

Myself I cannot trade Catholicism for any fireless fire. Pentecost churches are the most fireless churches I have worked with. No, you won't understand.

Try handle the media department of a Pentecostal church and you will know you are not in church. So noisy and baseless. In Pentecostal churches Jesus is 5%, pastor 85%.

We play too much in this country.
I watched the video and I felt so heartbroken.

I cannot imagine Sheriff, or Okowa making that kind of reckless statements.

We play too much!

Seun this 40 characters you are demanding is unnecessary.

40 characters done and dusted!

Truvelisback:
I don't know. Explain it to me.

Ok sir, education is not your BSc or PhD. Education is not your certificate.

With your certificate there are fields you cannot fit in. You will need the illiterate technician to educate you. The person may just have his first school leaving certificate and he will be miles ahead of you that has your BSc in Mechanical engineering.

Do I still need to define education?

favouredbymercy:
Smilessss. You really dont know what is happening then.

In Delta state Atiku spent a huge some also in Rivers and Obi who barely does got the day.

Despite Wike and Tinubu's huge spending in Port Harcourt Obi still dealt with them if not for the Wike rigging robot.

I know what I wrote and knew why I did not add vote buying.

How many votes did Obi buy in Lagos, Edo and Osun states?

It's not like vote buying is not part of it but my topic is "Six Never-fail tool"

Blitzerz:
Do we have law in nigeria?
I am not aware

We have to be realistic.
On most election days movement are grossly limited don't forget.
