Raji Fashola SAN is not a dunce.

Easy peasy! Tinubu calls, negotiates and wires handsome amount to current Guinean president who will instruct vital immigration authorities to tag Tinubu passport fake.

Look, if you marry a woman who is neither a DEVOURER nor her FAMILY'S ENVOY, you will be more than glad to not only make her your next of kin but also custodian of vital documents.

It is what it is.

The heat from obi-dients is really producing a dark cloud.

I think it is either Tinubu is seriously ill or he is obeying the instruction of MARABOUT that if he showed up in Nigeria, he will be killed and interim government installed. Outside of this two, there is no reason why a president-elect should be in hiding. Strangely, he has not set up a proper transition committee to oversee the take over from President Buhari's administration as tradition demands.

If he doesn't show up at Mecca at the end of Ramadan month, then we can confirm that he is really sick.

Saying Soludo isn't correct isn't the same as blaming Soludo. Perhaps Soludo's post isn't about Obidents at all, perhaps it is about Obidents.

But I still insist. Who organized the Jewish mob against Jesus? Who are those that have been seeking opportunity to nail Jesus ever since they figured out that many people were listening to him?

The 5,000 people he fed or the angry religious leader who Jesus called "hypocrites". I just see it as sanctimonious for these hypocritical politicians to mention the stories of the gospels instead of them to focus on good governance.

4 years is sailing by Soludo and he should be more concerned about making an impact that will make him more accepted in Anambra than Obi is presently.

Do you know why I started liking Seyi Makinde? He figured out his hatred and criticism of Ajimobi is not enough to win him a second term so he focused on good governance. In the end, I can say that Oyo State people prefer Seyi to Ajimobi. Soludo should replicate that too. Time is going.

Look, Soludo is the leader of APGA being the highest political office holder in the party. If he keeps quiet, Peter Obi's candidate Val Ozigbo will have an easy sail. So apart from working for Anambra people, Soludo must play the politics to protect his partisan interests. It is better that he loses election as an active APGA candidate than doing so as a passive-silent-Obi-supporter APGA candidate. Frank Nweke for all his support still lost as an APGA candidate in Enugu.

traihit:
But those who attacked Jesus are not headless mob anyway

Jesus was attacked and condemned by the organized Jewish council headed by Caiaphas the high priest according to the gospels. So Soludo isn't correct.

But why are people associating that with Obidients? I'm a supporter of Peter Obi but I don't support thee rascality of most Obidients. And lastly, there are political rascals in every party so don't come here crucifying the Obidents and praising other rascals.

If Obidients have been gentle and docile, their mouths, zeal and vigour would have been demotivated a long time ago. Their sharp-mouthedness is why they are still relevant

Why would you blame Gov. Soludo for this message? For several weeks, impression was created that he was responsible for Chude's arrest even after he had repeatedly denied. If something terrible had happened to Chude during arrest, in transit or in detention, Soludo would have crucified.

Secondly, Pontius Pilate insisted he didn't find any evidence to condemn Jesus but the Jewish mob wanted to riot, accusing him of not protecting Ceasar's interest and went further to demand the release of Barrabas. Being a politician, who wanted to peaceful environment to rule, Pilate granted them Jewish mob their request.

Dominus vobiscum!

Et cum spiritu tuo!

Padre, May God give you the wisdom to work to please the people of Benue as opposed to working to please politicians like Akume.

The fact that Peter Obi was honest about the leaked audio will count in his favour politically in future. He should have gone the way of the old order to deny flatly like Ganduje even in the face of obvious evidence. No, he chose to own up and take responsibility at the likely cost of loss of political goodwill. That's a move away from what we are used to. That's a positive.

I think it is either Tinubu is seriously ill or he is obeying the instruction of marabout that if he showed up in Nigeria, he will be killed and interim government installed. Outside of this two, there is no reason why a president-elect should be in hiding.

Portable is in School of Reality.

Las las he will become better, more cool-headed and dey more alright. I am convinced of that.

You need to stop believing everything those ethno-religious bigots feed to ur head because it is only in the North that State Govt's have been sending the children of poor to study Medicine, Engineering, Maritime among good courses in UK, US, Canada, India, China, Egypt among others. In Jigawa state specifically candidates from the state have been enjoying domestic and International scholarship since 2000 to date, every one or two years a new sets are sent abroad for studies and this is the same in some other Northern states especially NW. Didn't u saw the clear case of how masses supported Kwankwaso in Kano for choosing the children of poor only and sent them abroad for studies in strategic disciplines? You need to know more abt Northern political case rather than dwelling on lies and jealousy.
It is only in the North that Buhari, Yakubu Gowon, IBB, Abacha, El Rufai, Sule Lamiɗo, Kwankwaso among many others from poor families rose to be who they're today. More than 90% of Northern leaders/politicians are from poor families, thousands of Northerners from poor families are employed in strategic and most lucrative positions in CBN, NIMASA, NPA, TCN, DPR, FIRS and OAG and other MDAs due to the political nature of the North to the extent that any Legislature at HoA and Senate who can't get employment offers to the people (masses) you are ignorantly mocking won't go back to NASS.
I beg u to go and verify thousands of job offers Ahmad Lawan (SP), Ahmad Babba Kaita, Hon. Kusada, Da'u Aliyu, Suleman Goro, Lawan Kazaure (Protocol Director of the President), Sabiu Tunde, Abubakar Malami, I swear to God if you see the masses who benefitted from these job offers given to Northern masses under this administration by Head of MDAs, Ministers, politicians you will never disrespect North the way you were made to believe, never in your life!

I did my NYSC in Safana Town in Katsina State. I love your line of argument but I disagree to an extent.

The fact is that those that benefit from Politicians influenced employment opportunities are never children of the poor. They belong to upper and middle class families and may be children of those who serve the Emirs in various capacities. They are rarely children of the majority poor.

Another fact is that the schools attended by children of the poor don't have required number of teachers, which means faulty educational foundation. Sometimes, when I think about those ever-happy young boys I taught in Safana R/B School, I often pray they would somehow navigate to success in life given the poor educational foundation they had. For them, taking advantage of the employment opportunities you mentioned is impossible.

I remember with fondness how I invested money, planted seasonal beans with some of these students and shared the harvest which I took home to Anambra State. It therefore makes me sad how agriculture and food processing are neglected by State Governments that should have used it to empower millions of young people.

Average Northern Nigerian youth I encountered as a corp member was too kind-hearted to engage in atrocities of the bandits. Something went wrong. I have read about the philosophy of Sar'duana of Sokoto and I dare say none of the current leaders are going near that.

Thanks for engaging in this intellectual argument. I got enlightened to an extent though.

Please show us a concrete evidence that Ngige made this statement because I doubt if he did.

ykalhaji:
What does he need from UK ? The UK needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs the UK. FFK's stance will make them even make them give Nigeria more leverage when we get on negotiations. They will know Nigerians no send them and their visas, because after Visas these western nations have nothing to offer Africans again.

Why is Tinubu's camp losing sleep because Pres, Biden is yet to congratulate him? Where is Tinubu currently resting after election and why is he not doing so in Nigeria? Where did he undergo surgery on his bad leg? Why is it so important to have ministry of foreign affairs?

Look, Nigeria send "them and their visas" because every graduation period in UK, Nigeria politicians show off their graduating children with pride. You don't need visa for now but they do. They offer financial aids to Africa which your African leaders misuse in addition to the money country coffers.

Are kidding me?

Good one. Anambra State deserve a befitting State House and Governor's office with all necessary security architecture, logistics shortcomings and administrative challenges arising from the current one taken into consideration.

Jking20:
Are you fucking serious 😅
That Tinubu needs the UK and EU more, pls I need more explanation here.
Maybe you're one of those who still believes we are still under British colony...

Why do you have Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Why do we spend money Nigeria post and maintain ambassadors and diplomats all over world? Why did US refused to sell their fighter jets to Nigeria and do you know the diplomatic lobby that went into getting them to change their mins? Why was Tinubu camp worried that US president has not congratulated him? Why is US giving Nigeria back late Gen Abacha's looted fund instead of seizing it for its use? Which country is President-elect resting and why not Nigeria?

Are you kidding me?

ArewaNorth:
This mental inferiority from u is too much, I'm happy to see more Southerners becoming bold and removing the shackles of fear against whites just like us in the North, kudos to FFK in this case.
Your statement about UK or EU releasing statement abt not working with Tinubu Govt proven more of ur mental inferiority. Those Nations work with evil people and Satan comfortably than good people. They're more evil than anything on earth.
Go and grow balls, Bleep the UK and EU!

You need to remove the shackles of helplessness against your political leaders in that your Northern Nigeria because most of them including Pres. Buhari have houses in UK, train their children in their universities and go to their hospitals. To me that helplessness is much more 'mental inferiority" than speaking anyhow to a diplomat. Recently, Aisha Buhari threw a young Northerner into prison for speaking in FFK manner. How about that?

Bovis:
You have no knowledge of how international relations works. FFK is 💯 right on this. I would not be surprised if the deputy High Commissioner is recalled for dabbling into the internal politics of a sovereign nation

How come Nigeria and other countries dabbled into sovereign apartheid regime of South Africa and fought for the locals instead of just leaving them to their fate because it was "internal matter". Look, no nation is an island. Under late Gen. Abacha, Nigeria was a sovereign country yet international community made us a pariah because Ken Saro Wiwa was executed.

So calm down. That you are part of the ethnic group that has a bit advantage now doesn't justify nonsense. After all, when Gen Abacha was victimising the Yorubas on account late Gen. Diya coup allegation, most Nigerians irrespective tribes supported NADECO to fight Abacha from the same UK you are talking down at.

so much about "you have no knowledge of how international relations works".

What did FFK issues become Nigerian affairs? Delusional!

BabaRamota1980:
UK has committed far worse humanitarian crimes around the globe than any other country. They lack moral to dictate to others to follow humanitarian protocols. FFK is right.

Tinubu can call and get that deputy high commissioner redeployed from Nigeria, and thats a fact. Ben Llewelyn need to respect himself and shut the fck up if he wants to continue his service in Nigeria.

UK need Nigeria, cannot make ends meet without Nigeria, but Nogeria can do without them.

Where is Tinubu resting and receiving medicare currently? Why is he not in Nigerian hospital?

Napata77:
YOU ARE A SLAVE AND THE SON OF A SLAVE.

NO, FANI KAYODE DOES NOT HAVE YOUR INFERIORITY COMPLEX, DEPENDENCY, AND SELF HATE.

HE GREW UP AND SCHOOLED IN THE UK, AND KNOWS THEIR RANK HYPOCRISY AND ARROGANCE INSIDE OUT.

HE DOES NOT FEAR THEM THE WAY YOU FEAR THEM.

HE KNOWS THERE IS NO BIG DEAL TO THEM. JUST ORDINARY HUMAN BEINGS, MAJORITY OF THEM CLUELESS.

AND YOU ARE AN IMBE.CILE TO SAY THE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT ''NEEDS BRITAIN'' MORE THAN BRITAIN NEEDS HIM.

HOW DARE YOU?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH BRITAIN HAS LOOTED FROM NIGERIA SINCE THE 1700s?

DO YOU KNOW IT RUNS INTO SEVERAL TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS?

WITHOUT NIGERIA AND OTHER PLACES SHE LOOTED AND ROBBED, BRITAIN WILL BE NOTHING.

IF BRITAIN OPPOSES HIM, ARE THERE NOT 200+ OTHER COUNTRIES ON EARTH?

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE UK DO FOR NIGERIA?

TELL US.

STUPID SLAVES CANNOT SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN RAPING YOUR BACKSIDE FOR CENTURIES, AND YOU HAVE THE TEMERITY TO TELL THE FIRST NIGERIAN OFFICIAL WHO ASKS THEM TO SHOVE THEIR CRAP IN A LONG TIME TO SHUSH AND PLAY HAPPY SLAVE LIKE YOU.

HOW DARE YOU?

I don't know how old you are but this write-up of yours sounds childish.

FFK is behaving like somebody who is possessed. He is behaving as though he is working for a deity rather than a regular politician. He is sweating too profusely to lick Tinubu's a*se. He doesn't care how many bridges he pulls down. He is behaving too amateurish for somebody who has been in politics. People like him will always end up being disappointed.

JagabanBorgu:
How did UK become our ally?
Do u know what an ally is or u want to be a worshipper of the west?
Couñtries like Burkina Faso, Mali etc are kicking their colonial masters out and slamming bans on them, u want us to worship UK, who told u that the UK sees u as their ally?

I don't have energy for argument, bro.

Is Femi Fani Kayode working for Tinubu or against him? Why is acting like a b*tch on heat? APC and Tinubu should call this loudmouth to order immediately.

A diplomat of a strong ally of Nigeria made a complaint about your unnecessarily jaundiced opinion and you are reacting as though he slept with your wife. Yes, Nigeria is an independent nation but you can always communicate that like a mentally-balanced human being.

FFK should know that a president Tinubu needs UK more than he needs him. Statements by UK and their EU brothers that they can't work with Tinubu on account of his association with drugs would put Tinubu's presidency in legitimacy crisis. FFK should know that Tinubu, under little diplomatic pressure, can dump him like a smelly thrash in order to maintain a smooth relationship with UK.

Congratulations to Gov. Charles Soludo for this first anniversary in office and the impressive roadmap he laid bare.

By the way, this event showed why investment in infrastructure is important. This event took place in a massive and comfortable International Convention Centre Awka built by former Gov. obiano. Ordinarily, this would have taken place at outdoor Ekwueme Square with guests exposed to the elements.

Secondly, Gov. Soludo received Former Olusegun Obasanjo at Anambra Airport built by former Gov. Obiano and took him straight to the event venue. Ordinarily, he would have landed at either Asaba Airport or Enugu Airport and then drive all the way.

We need more infrastructure to drive out state economy. God bless Anambra State.

Gov. Soludo is top rated. I am proud that he is my governor.

Invictuse:
Sebi Yorubas are not wise, a foolish set of people can continue voting against the in their own land yet you want them to mellow down while you achieve you wicked aim.

I don't blame you I blame the APC Lagos government that can not fustrate you bastards out of Lagos na why foolish soul like you still de make senseless comment such as this.

You need to leave your village and visit other parts of the country and world for some mind-broadening fresh air. You are suffocating in your tiny prison of limited knowledge and view.
