Lot of bad belle analyses here.
Same way Obasanjo was attacked when he travelled extensively during his regime trying to attract investors. At the end it paid off for Nigeria.

Fact of life is that progress always takes place for the determined, focused and the bold regardless of what the naysayers, pessimists and cynics say.

Wish the president the best. Nigeria gains if it works out.

N3TRAL:
If the nomination of three or four citizens for the African category of an Anglo-American award is celebrated across the country's Social media space like we defeated Malaria, malnutrition, natal and infant mortality, unemployment, perennial poverty, hunger, mass illiteracy, and insecurity, then it is most candid to say that we've failed as a country.

I don't know if we can ever rise seeing how bad we've fallen.

We've always focused on the least utilitarian things that are usually irrelevant while neglecting the most important things that can make our society a liveable realm.

Recognising and celebrating others achievements isn't a bad thing. Whether its a big deal for us or not does not matter.
I can imagine there are millions of singers all over the world who would wish to get that recognition

Its good to see people work and labour hard in thier chose career and get recognised and rewarded for it.

May it be all our turn soonest IJN

I beg make una just fast forward to the tribunal and appeal court as that is likely where all these matter go end

Nice 1 but wait first
How many cameras did we put in the stadiums to check blind spots

Exactly. The VAR is only as good as the camera available

Do what happens if the thing is actually missing but you are being wrongly blamed for it?

Thank your stars.

As it is now, no union can go on strike. The right to strike is gone. Since ngige with his five rings on five fingers established comradeship with the court to stop ASUU strike & we all applauded him, that'll be the template for all unions going forward. ASUU is an affiliate of NLC & yet NLC did nothing then to protest the ridiculous govt actions. I do have reservations with ajaero's approach and obvious election interference, but bastardising courts is a legacy of ngige & his presumed boss, buhari.

The government will always argue that the strike would not be in the nation's interest. So the NLC should counter with legitimate reason allowed by law why they should have the strike.

If you want a nation governed by the rule of law, then every institution, not just the government must be ready to submit themselves to it.

Our idea of justice is that its a weapon to use to punish people or defeat ideas we don't like, forgetting that it goes both ways. Some people don't like you too and your ideas just like you don't like them and theirs too. So what do you expect the courts to do when you both go before it?

The day the NLC decided to go full blown politic is the day they destroy their legitimacy.
I don't think I have seen any NLC president public come out to campaign for or support any party.

Why? Because the NLC is made up of members with different political affiliations. All workers in Nigeria do not automatically support the Labour party so the leadership is supposed to play neutral.

Secondly, they are expected to negotiate with whichever party is in power and it might not be the LP. They need legitimacy and standing to represent the workers without the risk of being regarded as saboteurs - by the government and the public at large.

This NLC has messed up in these regard.

Hmm. Hard to believe that one. Political thugs are more likely to say this to a known face like the NLC president than real policemen in uniform.

Lol. Lawyer Olaonipekun arguing for and against similar pleadings in different courts for different politicians

shortgun:
Why detain the husband?

Strange right? It's the reason Nigerians don't go and report crime to the police.

I understand the husband being a person of interest in the investigation. But why immediately detain him. Any thoughts for the kids at home at all?

Congratulations to him and good one from Obanikoro to congratulate the victor and rally support for him.

Banky should do likewise so the victor can settle down to the job of legislating or legislooting until the next election.

They should leave these old guards - Atiku and Peter Obi to continue their do-or-die "I disagree with the Supreme Court" mentality and politics.

Even if he feels he does not owe him an apology, why wait this long to publicly denounce the act?
He should get better counsel next time

Hmm. Well. Those that labour at the altar eat from the altar, says the Holy Book.

When you see people like Aisha Yesufu, Dele Momodu, FFK, Onanuga, etc and many others working themselves out tirelessly for politicians, no be without expectations o. Na investment o.

So you can understand the anguish, disappointment and sometimes even bitterness when their choice losses.

At the end, we all vote for our self interest and those of your loved ones.

Una forgot to put the source ni?
How many assistants the president need sef?

Addme:
Some things don't just add up. Something related happened in my area last Sunday where a man was caught sleeping with his wife's 13 years old younger sister. Guys gather beat the man and some of us stopped them from beating him and we were in the process of taking him to the Police Stations before the wife knelt down and started begging that we shouldn't do it. We initially refused but this woman was begging and crying profusely for her husband forgiveness.
I just left them to their issues, I no wan carry someone's issue for head.

Hmm. I figure she was thinking of all the pressure that will come from the family especially the in-laws and the stress she would face from the police eventually once they sink their claw into the man.

Every family has their own I beg.
They do not need to air every drama and issues in their family online.
The son will grow up someday and all these public washing in public domain might affect him.

A strike is not meant to handle issues like this. Is it a retaliatory tool or a tool to push for negotiation and secure concessions?

LAXconfidential:
BY THE TIME APC IS DONE WITH NIGERIA, YOU WILL ALL CRY BLOOD!

People are dying in droves daily!

People are committing suicide daily!

People can no longer feed

People can no longer pay debts

Nigerians are suffering nail-biting poverty

But your president and his wife are living in sheer opulence emarking billions for themselves to spend and enjoy more life.

Tinubu was already a billionaire before he got into office, why not leave taxpayers money for us and use it to better our lives??

On top of all this, some people still come here daily to defend him because they were paid crumbs. Continue defending till it happens to your own kin. God will judge all of us on the last day.

Better be sure they are responsible for all these deaths and sufferings as you stated because unjust and false accusations also attracts God judgement.

tophumble:
What the judiciary will turn our democracy to, they themselves will not like it

No be on its own the court dey jeje before they drag matter go meet am?
If politicians are not contesting results up and down, the courts will never be involved.

If they are smart, they will do the strike for Imo state. But if they want to nationalise it, they will fail

People who cannot control their emotion and tongue cannot make a good leader.

These guys are political clowns. Is this the new Nigeria they are selling?

One where the courts have to rule based on public opinion? Where election losers can claim they all won the election without evidence and then set their supporters on the judiciary and other citizens who do not agree with them?

How could any serious and progressive politician ask the Supreme Court to give judgement based on public opinion and not evidence before it? Seriously?

Was it public opinion that got him the various wins he had in the past at the Supreme Court?

He has been making all the wrong political moves which takes him further and further away from the presidency .

So why the did National Assembly confirm him?

People who have been a victim of same apartheid going on in Palestine have a conscience, unlike you corrupt minded Things that stand for nothing in The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Lol. When you call other people "things", it shows the level of your own bigoted humanism.

Lol. People trying to rewrite history. No one can change the truth. They can only cover it. But the greatest disservice a man can do to himself is to willingly believe in a lie.

No one can decieve you without your permission.

The recent anti-west antics of the South African government is interesting.

I was in that place before many years ago and I lost out on some promising jobs at the final interview stages because of the problem. Those were many very unpleasant times and I understand the disappointment and pain.

But I went from that place to another where I have given public speeches and presentations at different levels and before different kind of audiences, local and international.

And you know the funny thing. I still get the butterflies and pounding heart from time to time. But I have learned the art of delivering regardless of the feeling.

Quick suggestions will be:

1. Master whatever you want to talk about. It will bring added comfort and confidence as well as ensure that your words, ideas and presentations become the focus - not you.

2. Practice and rehearse your presentations and conversations before the mirror, in the bathroom when taking your bath, and at any given opportunity. Sometimes it works like auto pilot or emergency backup when the rubber hits the road.

3. Watch, listen and learn from good speakers. You can acquire some oratory skills. Discover the styles and approaches that work for you

4. Learn to socialise and interact outside your comfort zone and familiar faces.

5. Learn to handle panic attack. Find your own way of dealing with stage fright. Mine is to zone out my environment and be in a place where I am standing alone.

If you need further advice on specific s, ask here or DM me.

SmartyPants:
So why didn't you present evidence of the rigging and forgery before the PEPT?

The laws are there and are clear for all to see. This man spent his time and money arguing that Shettima was double nominated, that Tinubu has a cr8minal conviction, that there is an impossible special requirement only applicable to the FCT, and that INEC not transmitting via IREV meant the election should be cancelled.

All of these arguments can only sweep the masses away but cant stand a minute of scrutiny in any Court.

So what was he expecting?

You go to Court to say A then come to the media to say B. Very dislikeable character. Same with Atiku but that one at least made more reasonable arguments.

He claimed he was challenging the "process" and not the victory. Notice that he no longer argue that he won and he can prove it.

He is just double speaking like they all do.

emkz:
In one breath, he condemned the Office of First Lady for acquiring SUVs; in another breath, he defended Labour Party rep members for collecting SUVs as part of their work.

Peter Obi needs to take a stand and stick with it. He is too inconsistent within minutes!

If he says that Supreme Court did not take cognizance of public opinion and therefore eroded the confidence of the people, does this same opinion hold for the Supreme Court that gave him his mandate as governor under APGA?

Peter Obi is not a sincere politician and a sincere person. By casting aspersions on the Supreme Court judgement, he reveals the same Supreme Court erred in restoring him as governor. Peter Obi took us back in our political evolution, and we hope his likes tale the back seat.

The man is not different from the others. They accept court judgements only when it is in their favour.
