Osariemen12:
You probably heard from your kinsmen who wish everyone not in APC underperform.

For your information, Obaseki is delivering the dividend of democracy with the mandate we gave to him. I don't beg you to agree because I know you have no knowledge of other states in Nigeria.

For Oshiomole, no governor in the history of southwest Nigeria, dead or alive equals his good records in governance. You should think twice before you type.

What has Obaseki been doing bros? Abi no be Edo wey I dey so?

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State says some businessmen in the South-East have donated over N1 billion to the campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.

He said this during a Town Hall meeting between Tinubu and business leaders in the region on Thursday.

“After going through your manifesto, they came together and levied themselves N500,000 each to commit to your project to be able to realise the manifesto as presented by you,” the governor added.

“As of the last count, they are over 2,000 in number – they have their names and telephone numbers and email addresses – and have raised over N1 billion for this project.”

On his part, the spokesman for the group Emeka Mgbudem said they took the decision because they believe in the Tinubu project while thanking the former Lagos governor for making Uzodimma a part of the campaign team.

“Our capacity to support you has been heightened by our belief that with you as the president of Nigeria, our nation will be on the horizon of limitless opportunity,” he said.

He called on Tinubu, if elected, to help tackle the issue of numerous checkpoints on the roads in the region and equally build roads to link state capitals in the South-East.

While responding, Tinubu promised to deploy technology in the clearing of goods at the ports, a development he explained will make checkpoints irrelevant.

The APC chieftain also vowed to run an all-inclusive government if he becomes the president.

“So, I am here a Yoruba man seeking the votes and support and encouragement and prayers of an Igbo man, what is the difference in that? We are both carrying the same blood looking at the same God who is the creator and believing in the unity of our country,” Tinubu said.

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has asked northerners to vote for him in 2023, and not for a “Yoruba or Igbo candidate”.


“I think what an average northerner needs is somebody from the north who understands other parts of Nigeria and who has been able to build bridges across the country. That is what the north needs,” Mr Abubakar said in a now viral video.

A former vice president between 1999 to 2007, Mr Abubakar added that, “It (Northern Nigeria) doesn’t need a Yoruba candidate or an Igbo candidate. This is what the northerners need. So I believe I stand before you as a pan-Nigerian of Northern origin.”

Mr Abubakar prides himself as a unifier. However, this charge that the north must vote a northerner goes contrary to the public image of a unifier that he’s portrayed over the years.

Contrary to Mr Abubakar’s divisive ethnic and regional campaign, the 2023 flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, continues to charge Nigerians to vote based on competence and capacity and not by regional, religious or ethnic sentiments.

At 75, Mr Abubakar will contest the 2023 presidential election against several contestants, including candidates of the All Progressives Congress and the Labour Party, Bola Tinubu and Mr Obi respectively, who are of southern extraction.

Mr Abubakar has since 1993 sought five times and failed to be Nigeria’s president; failing at party primary level three times and twice in the main elections.

Mynd44.

The only thing that gives me Joy in this post is "Southern agenda" North Don finish their own, let south do their own agenda for the next 8 years please.

CYBERSOLDIERSre:
That's your level of hate for the Igbo's.
Igbo's makes up nt less than 30% of population in the north, not less than 40% in Lagos etc.

Holds the economy of this country, so tell me what makes them minority?

You don't have sense, 40 percent in lagos and 30 percent in the North, you're not wise at all, make God dash you small sense.

All those Anambra billionaires na just Audio billionaires, most of them are not even worth 10 million dollars.

VladimirPutiin:
Abuja is another Nigerian city captured in the report, with 800 millionaires, 30 multi-millionaires, and 3 centi-millionaires, but no billionaires.

I guess you believe this one too from the article.

You don't know what you're saying by asking me that question, how many billionaires in dollars do Nigeria have and how many of them make their money in Abuja?

iamwilliamsfx:
I'm. Not surprised because the state is filled with Igbo people

Igbo people are business man, we know what we are doing.

Cry me a river.

I'm surprised that Anambra is not in the list

Lagos has been named the fourth richest city in Africa, with 6,300 persons worth over $1 million and three residents worth more than $1 billion. This was revealed in the latest Henley Global Citizens report, which seeks to survey which cities in the world are favourites for billionaires.


The report further added that the number of high-net-worth individuals in Lagos has increased by 22%, with 330 people now having fortunes worth more than $10 million and 20 having fortunes worth more than $100 million.

According to Henley, Johannesburg is the richest city in Africa with 15,200 millionaires, out of which two are billionaires Cairo capital city of Egypt, came second, with 7,800 millionaires, while Cape Town, another South African city, has 6,800, similar to Lagos but with more multi-millionaire. Nairobi rounds out the top five with 5,000 millionaires, 240 multi-millionaires and 100 centi-millionaires.

Abuja is another Nigerian city captured in the report, with 800 millionaires, 30 multi-millionaires, and 3 centi-millionaires, but no billionaires.

What makes a millionaire? The report defines a millionaire as someone with investable assets worth millions or more. This includes cash, savings accounts and investments in stocks, government bonds and mutual funds.

Omoh! And everybody is dey wonder wetin be the course of the inflation.

ChangedMan1999:
Umunna, lekwa


North West 22.67 million voters

North East 12.8 million voters

North Central 14.1 million voters

South West 18.3 million voters

South East 11.49 million voters

South South 15.2 million voters


Don't give any idiot opportunity to tell you South East( Ndigbo) doesn't have significant population.

For certain more than 98% of 11.49 million of the registerd voters in South East are nothing but Ndigbo; People of other ethnic groups don't like staying or living in South East.

More than 30% percent South East people are not living in the South East.

Majority of this more than 30% lives in South West.

The rest are in South South and North.

Now, if you take a look at 18.3 million voters from South West you will see that not less than 4 million are South West based South Easterners.

And if you look at 15.2 million voters from South South you will see that not less than 2 million of the voters are South South based South Easterners.

Apart from South South based South Easterners, there are South South people who identify and are Ndigbo.

More than 4 million South Easterners are based in the North. And they registerd there.

If you add all this numbers together you will see that Yoruba actually doesn't have more people than Ndigbo



Writing....

I believe you should be ashame of yourself because it's either you're being mischievous or you lack basic statistical knowledge, by your submission almost 22% of registered voters in the South West are Igbo? Which mean every 1 in 5 voter in the South West are Igbo and the remaining 4 are Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Edo and other numerous tribe in Nigeria? What a life!

If you dey Benin and you no wan do yahoo na hungry go kill you, yahoo na normal thing for there, na your mama go carry you go hk self, abi make family contribute money take send their first daughter go Italy go do Olosho.

Truthisunique2:
You are expecting comments from mostly yorubas

Benin is headquarters of BEDC, ondo, delta, Ekiti are under it

Power is one of the deciding factor of the nation and for a private company to headquarters in Benin it tells you alot cos they choose the most commercial base

Ondo is more urbanized than ibadan yet ondo no near Benin

Those badmouthing Benin should relocate na if Dem don see wetin Dem dey enjoy

Na dust you dey yarn so, Benin is empty, the only thing still holding Benin city is the dirty money from the yahoo boys and their girls doing Olosho in Europe, Benin is known for Fraud, Olosho and cultist.

May God have Mercy on you.

The justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria have called out the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, over poor conditions of service in the Judiciary and the welfare of its members.

In a letter by the justices, seen by Peoples Gazette, members of Nigeria’s judiciary expressed their concerns over their budgetary allocations that have not been increased in the last four years.

In a letter by the justices, seen by Peoples Gazette, members of Nigeria’s judiciary expressed their concerns over their budgetary allocations that have not been increased in the last four years.



“We are serving this Country diligently and to the best of our ability. We resolve disputes between the Executive and the Legislature including all manner of disagreements, between governments and individuals…It would be a tragedy if the Nigerian Public were to know that we are unable to resolve our own problems internally without going public,” the letter said. “The decision to write to you formally must be seen by Your Lordship as an effort on our part to preserve the dignity of the Judiciary and the respect accorded to us by Governments and people of Nigeria.”

The issues raised by the justices in the letter include the failure to replace dilapidated vehicles, accommodation problems, poor healthcare services at the Supreme Court clinic and poor electricity supply to the Supreme Court.

The justices also lamented the increase in electricity tariffs, no modified allowances to reflect the increase in diesel prices and lack of internet services in their chambers.

The justices called Mr Tanko’s attention to an internal memo served by the Chief Registrar, which notified judges that electricity would be supplied to the court between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, due to the lack of diesel.

“The implication of this memo is that the Justices must finish their work and close before 4pm. Your Lordship with all due respect, this is the peak of the degeneration of the Court; it is the height of decadence, and clear evidence of the absence of probity and moral rectitude,” the Justices wrote. “Your Lordship, this act alone portends imminent danger to the survival of this Court and the Judiciary as an institution, which is gradually drifting to extinction.”

Other issues cover the non-signing of amended Court Rules, an abrupt stoppage of foreign workshops and training per annum for justices; and no provision of qualified legal assistants.

As such, the judges called Mr Tanko’s sense of responsibility into question, fearing a potential shutdown of the judiciary due to the raised concerns.

“Your Lordship, this is a wake-up call. Your Lordship must take full responsibility as our leader. You must not concession your responsibility to people who have no responsibility or stake in preserving and defending the dignity of the Institution,” the letter said. “Your Lordship occupies a position of leadership. We will not wait for the total collapse of the institution.”

The letter was delivered early in June, and Supreme Court sources confirmed to the Gazette that a commotion had broken out over it. They also said a committee that included traditional leaders has been trying to mediate the crisis.

When reached for comment, Ahuraka Isa, Special Assistant to Mr Tanko on media, said he would respond with a statement.

And you are telling me that Igbos are more than them in population? You're such a shameless liar, be proud of your tribe, if you know say you really be Edo just dm me make me settle am off Nairaland.

Peter Obi's Resignation: A Fight Against Delegated Corruption On Behalf of Nigerians, By Bolaji O. Akinyemi.

Unfortunately, we have witnessed first hand the ground gaining of corruption and the consolidation of non state actors' hold on the jugular of our nation like never before!

Just about two weeks ago I wrote an article titled; " *Nigeria: A Nation* *At The Mercy Of* *Political Party* *Delegates".** Where I established that the two leading political parties in Nigeria; APC and PDP as institutions cannot deliver the hope and yearnings of Nigerian electorates for a new Nigeria. That the system are constricpted against the evolution of productive leadership.

PDP, we were informed by APC in the build up to 2015 elections, that they spread corruption. Unfortunately, we have witnessed first hand the ground gaining of corruption and the consolidation of non state actors' hold on the jugular of our nation like never before!


I made definite assertions and offered some pieces of advice, some of which are; "If I were a delegate of APC, I won't shift support away from Osinbajo for a 100 million delegates' package from any Aspirant. His only challenge, will be how to triumph through the lies and propaganda that his party has become in public perspective, going forward to general elections...


I went on to say: "to the delegates in PDP, it is quite unbelievable that any sane mind will be confused at making a choice for their party. Nigeria's public system is a destroyer of merit and an enabler of corruption!


Worse in this system, are Customs Service and others like it, where slush has damaged the values of officers in the system. It is therefore incomprehensible that a debate will even take place at deciding who will be a better President between Obi, who as governor of Anambra, made an investment on behalf of his state from which the state is still earning income and Atiku, who as Vice President, supervised the sales of Aluminum Smelting Company, *an investment of* *2.5 billion dollars for* *250 million dollars!...*


Why we are still hoping that APC delegates will in the understanding of the time we are in give ticket to the likes of Osinbajo, Bakare against those who are prepared to buy Nigeria to rule her. Obi has finally interpreted the body language of delegates in PDP and has taken a bow from the party. With the allegation of change of delegates' list from Anambra state, it will be ridiculous for him to have stayed to contest against a principal he gave the respect of not visiting his state, Adamawa, during his consultations with delegates across the country! To know that such individuals lack decorum and will result to political brigandage in Obi's state and he still continues in the race would have been a betrayal of that thing for which he is being celebrated, intelligence!


I further affirmed that: "the exigencies of the time has taken this contest away from the likes of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his compatriot, Atiku Abubakar, the work to be done needs a younger, intelligent and competent personality with strength of character for leadership"!


If party delegates are lost to this reality, Nigerians are not! At no time in our political history has the awareness to break from political culture of cash and carry been this overwhelming!


Osinbajo will have a huge political marketing to do in case he wins the primary. He is no doubt the best in the race for APC, but a good product may find it difficult to be sold from a shop noted for fake products; I said.


Obi has been fantastic thus far, he has sold himself very well keeping to issues.


Our appeal is to the delegates of the devil and the deep blue sea to give us the best of their demons. As the saying goes, a known devil is better than an unknown angel!


The truth is, any disappointment in this regard may see the emergence of a new party in power. That new party will be the one presently positioned to harvest the fruit of a mismanaged APC and PDP primaries which seems inevitable!


May I plead with all party delegates to make the best aspirant their candidate, so that at the general election, the choice will be made from among their bests, I finally submitted.


Obi, like Osinbajo is a good product on a bad shelf. This move is sacrosanct, to give a good product a deserving shelf life and value. It is left to Osinbajo to stay with APC or take his value to a corresponding shelf!


Obi, in his resignation letter addressed to PDP National Chairman, left no one in doubt of his intention to still contest 2023 elections on the terms and conditions he had championed during his political consultations when he stated; "our national challenges are deep-seated and require that we each make profound sacrifices towards rescuing our country. My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs.


Obi's exit from PDP was a thought through, legendary step, APC boat will no doubt be rocked by the high-handedness of the cabal and their proxy in power and the fallout of that will obviously be harvest in the alliance Obi will be building in the next few days. A day advantage in politics can equal years of efforts if strategically utilized! One thing this season will be remembered for is that when the 3rd force was a mirage, Obi made it a miracle. Win or lose, our political architecture is finally re-designed. May I join all true nation builders to wish Peter Obi well going forward to *2023.


*Dr Bolaji O.** *Akinyemi* is the President, *Project* *Victory Call* *Initiative, (A.K.A PVC* *Naija).*

Fake news from Tinubu urchins.

The last thing Peter Obi would want to have against his name would be political prostitution.

But let’s wait and see

Why should we wait and see when you're so sure it's a fake news?
