This was how two white guys pursued me in UK when I came down from bus, on my way home from a night shift.

Everywhere was lonely and late at night. We were few that came down from the bus. Some entered taxi to their homes and I decided to walk home since my house was close to the bus station. As I walked passed two guys holding cigarettes, I turned back and saw that they were looking at me and talking, gradually they started walking fast towards me. As I looked back again, their pace of movement towards my direction was increasing. My brother, i picked race and they pursued me. It was when they saw a bike coming towards us that they bolted away while the bike pursued them. Lots of deranged people are in UK

Anambra men and doing things .

The hustling spirit of the people is legendary. My village has become a mini city with state-of-the-art mansions springing up and down from upwardly mobile young men across the State, country and the world at large.

chopnaira:
Abacha asked you to decongestant the port. If it's even for half a day, let alone 2 weeks, you still worked for him.
Or was it Babangida that requested that you decongestant the port?

, Which kind Zebrudaya English is this? "Decongestant" the port?

Obi shouldn't have made that statement. It portrayed someone that is desperate. Scaling through the primaries that Atiku would likely be a contestant, would be his greatest huddle. The primaries may make or mar the coalition.

Will they hear? Some Obidients thinks that election and voting starts and ends within their cycle. Obi needs to understand how Nigeria's national politics works. He has to bend to be lifted.

His lawyers' popularity and prestige would sky rocket. As a lawyer, once you win a high profile case for your client, you would feel invincible.

I will say it again, If Atiku is not the presidential candidate of ADC, the opposition is just helping BAT to retain the presidency

Obi cannot challenge BAT in a free for all contest. The real challenger to BAT is Atiku and APC knows that. Obi has lost lots of steam and momentum he had in 2023 except from his SE core base - His bases in SW, SS and North have all moved on.

Atiku is still popular in the North and East - he may not be popular in SW because of BAT. How do you expect Obi to defeat Tinubu in NW and NE? I dont know how people do their permutation. Sentiments and emotions should not becloud people's way of judgment

I doubt if it would end. The killings have been normalized and even the citizens do not show any empathy again. It is one of those things - that is how far we have descended as a country and citizens. Stories of killings in any part of the country do not move people any more. People are more likely to be moved to sorrow when they hear about death and shooting in US, Canada or Europe than in Nigeria. The death of Diego Costa touched lots of Nigerians but let the news of death of 300 Nigerians filters in, nobody moves - everyone is used to that kind of death

PDP won't present any candidate for the presidential election. They would collapse their structure for Tinubu, under the guidance of Wike and Anyanwu

It seems Keyamo wants ADC to give Obi the ticket so that APC would have an easy ride. The only pair from ADC to challenge BAT is Atiku - Obi ticket. Anything outside this would hand over power easily back to BAT. Obi should not over estimate his popularity over Atiku. Infact, Obi's popularity in SW and SS has dwindled compared to the level it was in 2023

I don't know why people are so excited about the coalition as if they had won the election. Its still a long battle ahead. The government is not sleeping. If Tinubu could muscle his way to power, despite all the challenges and obstacles on his way, how much more now that he is the President. Don't underestimate the power of the president of the federal Republic to manipulate national institutions to his advantage. Tinubu is not goodluck and he knows how to waggle his way.

People that don't understand politics are here saying that the ticket should be given to Obi. Do you think that Obi has more electoral value than Atiku? Atiku stands the best of chances to be the party flag bearer. Obi should take a bow and deputise for Atiku. The Nigeria's Political system rewards those that have served and paid their dues. Obidients should not allow sentiments to becloud their sense of reasoning.

Antoeni:
Sowore is Suppose to Join The Great Coalition Against APC,
But Pride & Arrogancy Won't Allow Sowore to Learn & Know The Difference Between Nigerian Politics & Student Union Activism ,
He Better Join The Coalition to Learn & Make His Impact

Is he of any electoral value? Can he win any election or galvanised people within his locality towards a political cause? The only thing he may bring to the table is "Sahara reporters". If he joins, Sahara reporters may be sympathetic to ADC and would stop attacking ADC leaders, that's all

I don't know why people are so excited about the coalition. PBAT is not sleeping. He has INEC with him. 2027 would be the worst presidential election in history. The silent rigging, violence and manipulation that would happen are still doing press up.

Time to cash out. This Kachiukwu and the former chairman of ADC will cash out, big time. But wait o, who are going to fund ADC? No governor has agreed to join or sent a representative. Even Otti has disowned his membership of the party. Otti doesn't seem to rate Obi at all.

Exercise in futility!!! You may not like my comments but dislodging Tinubu is not going to a child's play. Tinubu is a master in the game. He is not Good luck and would do everything to retain power. Sadly for the coalition, there is no governor present in the unveiling

Carework is never an easy job. Lots of sadist are doing the job because they could not see any other job. Some would allow their attitude to affect their daily job. If you are not a patient, caring, understanding and resilient person, don't take care jobs abroad.

Nigeria's politics is not for the faint hearted. The coalition should have tightened all loosed ends with legacy executives of ADC.

I Know it is not easy to satisfy all members of the ADC. Those that did not get anything would still cause trouble for the new members of the coalition.

Believe me, opposition may continue to be in disarray till 2027 and may not have a strong rallying party.

Atiku and Obi for become President and Vice if they had worked together - sadly, they all their own ambition, which worked against them, allowing the "great" BAT to capitalized on that to clinch the presidency. The 2023 election thought me many things. To imagine that the combined votes of Obi and Atiku was up to 14m and still lost the election should be a puzzle.

Obi seems not to understand how Nigeria's politics works. It would be extremely difficult for him to win the presidency by going solo. Obi had the best of chance to deputize for Atiku in 2023 but he felt that he would win. I am not disputing his capacity to govern but in Nigeria, you have to use your senses to achieve what you want. It is either Obi is a front for APC or he is under a big illusion

2027 permutation is in full gear. Kwankwaso may likely replace Shettima as VP nominee in 2027. PBAT is already preparing for 2027. He wants to do everything to checkmate Atiku's influence in the North

TUANKU:
There was a report released by the American Embassy in Abuja which claimed Nigerians top the list when it comes to lying and deceit/misinformation regarding Visa applications and it seems true.

That's true. Everyone would be forming superman with lies and deceits, that he or she gamed them. A pregnant woman would be at the airport, still denying that she wasn't coming to give birth. Right from the interview stage, my wife told them the intent and the money she had. At the Atalanta airport, she repeated the same reason. That was more than 13 years ago. We are used to cutting corners and be defending the lies with more lies and wip sentiments at the end, as the "victim", since we have normalised lies and deceits.

I have followed that Professor Oramah and I have been impressed with how he brought some development financing ptojects to Nigeria. The newly established AFREXIM medical center is headquartered in Abuja. Under his leadership, lots of projects were financed by AFREXIM. Honestly, I wished that Nigeria could benefit from international organisations the way Nigeria benefited from AFREXIM, thanks to the Professor.

Nigerian soldiers should look better. They are in a war zone for crying out loud and you would see them dressed casually. This is why they are always caught unaware by the bandits. They should always be in their full military gear, helmet, boots and well loaded magazines. This one is just wearing a rubber slippers with an outdated wooden AK 47

See how everybody dey use Obi shine -

Honestly, Obi should not have come down so low with that outburst, under camera. It seems that he does not know his worth.

Nothing stops him from requesting for an audience with the commissioner for environment or even the state Governor.

You were once a former governor for crying out loud and you went to the demolished site to wine like a man that was evacuated from his shanties in maroko.

As a former state governor and a high level politician, he would be granted audience in most of the offices he enters in Nigeria - be it public or private

Good luck to all the applicants. Graduate and youth unemployment in Nigeria is at a record level

I never liked this guy. He's too emotionally unstable. I thought his only other brother was a reverend father and his only sister a reverend sister. Which other brother does he has that acquired landed property in Lagos? Does reverend fathers acquire property?

The kidnapped business man and his families would have gladly agreed to pay millions in ransom to be freed than to be caught in the cross fire for his rescue that eventually claimed his life. So sad

Vigilantes are doing the dirtiest of jobs in Nigeria. They are always bold and courageous than the typical police and the security intelligence officers,

Oyo state government should apply to court to take ownership of the man's estate as his wealth were proceeds of corruption. Nigeria has institutionalized corruption that people are not ashamed to fight openly about proceeds of corruption. Nothing you wan tell me - those assets and money in different currencies were proceeds of looting of Oyo treasury. But this is Nigeria were nobody is held accountable. Some will come out here to defend the family and tell me to mind my own State.

Siasi should not have responded the way he did. That was a gutter response. His response was below expectation. I doubt if Mikel could have made such statement without facts. The time he made that statement, Siasi did not deny it. Why come now to make the statement and at the same time, taking a jab at him? It seems there is a beef somewhere between the duo. Siasi should just pipe low considering that he is coming out of ban that has tarnished his image. I am waiting for Mikel to refute what Siasi said. If he is unable to do, that would be a big shame for him.

Trump just wants to share in the spoils of the war. He doesn't want Netanyahu to take all the glory and credits in decimating Iran. He wants it to be on record that he was the one that "defeated " Iran and forced them to negotiate.

Nothing spectacular about British High schools. A normal state secondary school here in Lagos can beat a typical British High school in any competition. Smartness is now moving towards Asia of China, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam. Congratulations to the lads. You can't get it wrong with a Catholic- run school.
