A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, has warned President Bola Tinubu and other political actors against rigging the 2027 presidential election, saying the international community is closely watching Nigeria.
Pearse issued the warning during an interview on Arise Television on Sunday, where he cautioned that electoral malpractice could attract serious global consequences.
According to him, the era of unchecked election rigging is coming to an end, stressing that international institutions and powerful global actors would not ignore any attempt to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process....

Manjapa: It's all started 2023,when I got my first job with a shipping company. I was connected by one of my old time friend. Fast forward,I started the job,a well paying job, within a short period of time,I bought a landed property in my state, because I am the kind of person that love properties from a very young age I always wanted to own alot of property. And because of the kind of life I live,it was easier for me,I don't smoke or do drugs or womanize or drink. I will cut the story short, because of time. After few months which was last year again,I bought another property and started building,I felt like God has finally favoured me forever,I built the house up to roofing level which I had to stop because of some advice I got that I shouldn't rush everything once by my father. As of this time it was June last year. By July suddenly some of us where laid off, because the whites sold it to a Nigerian company, because of the whole economy policies. That was how,I started managing myself,then fast forward to November my dad was kidnapped,which I paid 6 million to get him released,inside that Same November my mum was kidnapped,had to sell my two landed property to get her release which they demanded for 5million last,it all happened like a dream, seeing everything I worked to gather widering way without me unable to help myself. I became depressed,and Said,but I believe God will do it again.
I only have my building left,I am 30 years now,my only thing I own now is that building. My plan is to sell the building,and start life again, please I need advice my fellow brothers and sisters. Should I sell it and start business, because I promised my dad I will give him grandson before he leaves this world,apart from the marriage I am just stuck,I need to move forward,at least I can get 10 million from the building,but I spent up to 12million though,I know I can't get up to that amount back. I need to keep moving,if 10 million will take me out of this country I would have traveled if I sell it,but 10 million can't.
I seriously need advice Had to cut the story short, because of time Thank you all
Japa oOoOO, no say I no tell you. What course did you study at the University?
Wike feels he can lord over everybody, saying he can challenge anybody . He has gone rabid after Tambuwal fixed him during last Presidential PDP primaries
seunlayi: This is getting scaring for some Nigerians politicians and their supporters.... Interesting days ahead... Let's watch how some government will start limiting their trips to USA. Dem never even commend or condemned American action yet
Originalsly: Why is the son talking? Why can't we hear it from the horse's mouth? Can't the father speak for himself? What the son is saying is all "hear say" ... inadmissable in court. I can see the driver being found guilty if this is going to be the basis of his defense. The brake failed .... that can be physically checked out and I want to believe the computer system will show if it really did. The truck illegally parked was stationary.... did not require any visible markings since it was mid day.... very visible from afar. He was overtaking when the accident occured ... does one be on the brake or on the gas when overtaking? One is more likely to be braking before overtaking... to avoid running into the back of the vehicle to be overtaken..... then hit the gas when it is safe to do so. Didn't he notice the brake wasn't working before he stepped on the gas? He's going nowhere with this defence.
The truck illegally parked was stationary.... Which truck . Truck that was off shoulder
Putindbutt: If anyone had told me a day would come that Kwankwaso would be wailing, I would have given that person a hard knock on the forehead. Bro, politics no be your mate, if you no get mind, no enter am. Kwankwaso never would have imagined that Tinubu would negotiate with Gov Yusuf behind his back and his so called political son would agree while he was kept in the dark... that thing can painnn...
I no go too blame Tinubu like that, they've been on this negotiation for over two years, while Ganduje was a major stumbling block, Kwankwaso himself wasn't helping matters. His demands were too ridiculous, trying to put himself above other northern APC stakeholders who have been loyal to the party. Tinubu would not have any of that even though they have been close allies for a very long time. Me sef I come dey fear Tinubu like never before, the name Jagaban dey ring inside my head.
Kwankwaso is arrogant from his previous speeches. Some messages are to be passed from his support group.
SixSeven: What a lie. Let me give a rundown of how our democracy has gone.
Democracy is a scam if one country can decide how crazy another's democracy is crazy. Demonstration of craze...
This is why it will not work in Africa because it's crazy how the demo works here. The rulers have figured out how to manipulate the system to benefit them without direct responsibility.
In 1999 - 2003, the Executive did not like the Legislature and orchestrated the removal of the Senate and Reps different times. However you must be aware that the leaders of those houses were not 100% clean. Do you remember Salisu and Toronto Certificate? Within four years, the Senate alone had three presidents. Salisu Buhari’s removal over the Toronto certificate scandal was justified on ethical grounds, but the speed and coordination of the process revealed something deeper, the executive influence was never far away. Evan Enwerem and later Chuba Okadigbo fell amid allegations of misconduct, yet the pattern suggested that leadership crises were being managed politically, not institutionally. Accountability was selective, reactive, and often convenient for the power brokers. Nigeria began its democratic process on a faulty foundation. The Governors will learn after the 2003 tsunami by the PDP how to grab it in the next paragraph.
In 2003–07, the major issue of this tenure was the attempt tamper with constitutional limits through political pressure. Even though Obasanjo denies it today, there is enough documentation on how the third-term agenda was not just about tenure elongation but it was a stress test of whether constitutional rules could withstand executive might. The Legislature was flooded with inducements and intimidation. That the amendment failed remains significant, but equally significant is how close it came to succeeding. Democracy survived this phase by a narrow margin, not by institutional strength but thank God it survived. Credit to Sen Ken Nnamani.
In 2007–11, this tenure combined electoral legitimacy collapse, legislative scandal, and executive weakness. The 2007 elections severely damaged democratic credibility, yet governance proceeded without correction. Yar Adua's attempt to correct the anomaly of an election succeeded a bit when he set up an electoral panel to review our electoral system. Inside the Legislature, the Patricia Etteh crisis and later the Dimeji Bankole era exposed how leadership of the House became entangled with patronage and post-tenure criminalisation. The defining rupture, however, was Yar’Adua’s illness and death. The secrecy surrounding presidential incapacity paralysed governance and exposed a constitutional vacuum. The “Doctrine of Necessity” that elevated the Vice President was a timely fix but it also confirmed that Nigeria’s democracy often survives by improvisation rather than adherence to clear rules. Thank you Dora Akunyili and we can't forget the role of Mr Aondoaka and those who claimed that the President could rule from anywhere in the world. A pattern that will be repeated later under Buhari and now, Tinubu. This period was where the Governors started learning to cut their teeth. They became more influential in Nigerian politics. The Governors' Forum was influencing national politics. This was the period of one party state by PDP that made Ogbulafor boast that PDP will rule for 60 years. Obasanjo had taught the Governors lessons but Yar Adua and Jonathan's scholarly approach to democracy may have cost us a lesson on tight fisted executive.
In 2011–15, the main issue of this period was oversight without enforcement. The National Assembly appeared assertive, especially during the fuel subsidy probe, which revealed massive corruption. Yet the failure to secure decisive prosecutions weakened public trust. You must remember that Farouk Lawan was recently forgiven in the Tinubu's presidential pardon list but what he did at that time was a symbol of the corruption at the top. At the same time, electoral reforms under Attahiru Jega restored some credibility to elections, creating a contrast between improving electoral process and stagnant governance accountability. Democracy looked better at the ballot box than in outcomes. Change became possible but the Governors played a major role in redesigning how party politics was. The party was no longer the class captain, each Governor was now taking hold of the party structure at each state.

In 2015–19, this tenure was dominated by open institutional confrontation. Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President against party and executive preference triggered years of conflict. His trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal placed the Judiciary squarely within political struggle. Simultaneously, the Executive openly disobeyed court orders in security-related cases, signalling impatience with judicial restraint. This was not just an executive–legislative problem, it was a systemic breakdown of respect among arms of government because APC was in power, so yih can't blame the opposition. Power was increasingly exercised as moral authority rather than constitutional obligation. The first attack on the judicial system began here with the Onnoghen trial by the Buhari government. The death of the media also started during this time. APC, which had oiled the machinery of the media to their advantage could not let the same machine take them out. They came out hard on critical thinking and through the Minister of Information, the Press review started here.
In 2019–23, the tenure was defined by the open surrender of legislative independence. Unlike earlier Assemblies that at least struggled with the Executive, this one publicly embraced alignment as a governing principle. Legislative leaders openly described the National Assembly as a “partner” rather than a check. Oversight weakened noticeably. Budgets were passed with little resistance, confirmations sailed through, and major policy questions rarely produced institutional pushback. The loss of teeth was not accidental. Senate President Ahmed Lawan repeatedly framed the National Assembly as a “partner” of the Executive rather than a check on it. In public statements, he emphasized working “in harmony” with the presidency to pass legislation and implement national policies, warning against “unnecessary grandstanding” that could delay governance. Oversight weakened - bills, budgets, and ministerial confirmations proceeded with minimal scrutiny. A prominent example was Godswill Akpabio’s smooth confirmation as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, which drew little interrogation despite prior controversies. Please off your mic. Committees that would normally probe ministers or government contracts rarely escalated findings, signaling a tacit decision that cooperation, not confrontation, was the guiding principle. The loss of teeth was not accidental, it was openly acknowledged, marking a clear departure from Assemblies that had previously struggled even contentiously to assert themselves. Democracy during this period functioned procedurally but hollowly, with elections and legislative processes intact but scrutiny and accountability diminished.
From 2023–present, the current 10th National Assembly has intensified this pattern. It had easily won the worst National Assembly even before concluding its tenure. Senate and House leaders, including Akpabio, have publicly reinforced the idea that lawmakers are not elected “to fight the Executive” but to collaborate on national priorities. Akpabio stressed that legislators should support executive-led bills that serve the nation, even if critics label this a “rubber-stamp” legislature. Committees continue to exist, but oversight has become largely symbolic. Critical national issues, security challenges, rising inflation, and controversial economic policies see limited legislative pushback. What stands out is not conflict but its absence, making it clear that the Legislature now prioritizes alignment and on a mandate they wish to stand on with the executive over independent scrutiny. In practical terms, the National Assembly functions, but as a facilitator of executive priorities rather than a co-equal branch ensuring accountability. This Assembly has trashed any respect whatsoever you may have for the Legislature. Publicly singing on your mandate they shall stand, trying to praise the President's work and laughing over serious issues that affect Nigerians or completely ignoring them have made them weaker than the whisker of a cat.
Looking at Nigeria’s National Assembly from 1999 to today, a clear pattern stands out. Each four-year tenure faced big challenges, but the Legislature often let itself be shaped by politicians and party leaders instead of standing up to protect the people’s interests. The 10th Assembly shows this clearly. Leaders openly put the President’s wishes above their constitutional duty. They approve bills and budgets without asking tough questions. Committees that should investigate government programs barely do their work. By choosing to cooperate instead of check power, the Legislature has weakened democracy from within. At the same time, the Judiciary has often compromised, bending under pressure or choosing caution, which has limited its ability to fully check government power. Go to court!!!
This problem is not unique to Nigeria. In countries like Venezuela, democracy exists on paper but is erased by politicians who manipulate institutions for their own gain. We can see the same pattern here. But pointing out these failures does not give outsiders the right to lecture Venuezela. Even strong democracies like the United States struggle with their own political crises and institutional problems. True democracy only works when the people and their own institutions hold power accountable. No one else can do it for us.
OKOATA: But this time around the world radar is on him and the USA is also on him. He should try and rig 2027 and see. Hope you guys know whats on space lately. Trump and Neyanthu are cleansing the world of evil leaders so be warned.
Tinubu belongs to the old order, he doesn't know things have changed 🤷🏿. Body go tell am 📌💯👌.
Rivers people need to break their selves from the shackles of this man. I'm yet to see a god father/ ex Governor not even serving in the north left to misbehave like this. South East won't take this
Tinubu should know that Nigeria is not Lagos abi south west he has captured with his alpha-beta scam. The old order way of doing things can't work nationally, he should accept the new reality. The Politics of what money cannot solve, more money will solve will ruin him. We'll meet at the polls.
Odingo1: Ok thanks noted because she has been begging since yesterday because i left the house, she have call 100 times and said it was devil 😈 that entered. That she will never try it again. That she can now stay in the house as I want it.
Odingo1: I need an opinion, I live in 1 bedroom room flat, room and parlour with dining of 800k per year, the landlord recently increased it to 1m but my wife insisted that we move to another room and parlour that is smaller and far from town only that the house have POP design at 1.6 million. I told her that the place we are staying is better and we can save 600k then unprovoked she said she have finished making arrangements with the other house that I must pay the money that day. To my greatest surprise she started physically pushing me around, bring out our wedding pictures and throw on it the bed and went to kitchen looking for kitchen knife. And bring out all my bag and ask me leave the house or she will smash all my belongings including labtops and phone. Is a shock to me, yet to recover. Note I am a sole provider in the union, she contribute nothing, I gave her monthly upkeep of 120k, I take care of every Damm expenses in the house. I started a lab business for her with 3 m. The marriage is about 10 months, no kid yet. We have not have major issues except minor issues which we resolve. I haven’t involved families yet, I want see opinions first, mod pls front page.
Venezuela is the richest in oil reserves but finances can't be accounted for 🤷🏿. Shey wuna dey see as the matters dey evolve. Emilokan will plunge this country into disaster. Ranging from state financial capture, drugs, insecurity, election rigging, .
