Politics is indeed dirty….



Someone has gone out of their way and at great expense to get this document.

I have an idea who…

They will use it to nail him las las. Politics is a ruthless game

ganisucks:
Hate is a very strong and unwise avenue to display your emotion.

Tell him, he does not understand what he just said

ganisucks:
Everyone has heard different versions of this same story time and time over and over again. Tell us something new.
Besides Atiku is not the best herald for a story like this. After all he was accused by OBJ for financing and pioneering corruption in government.

But he is saying the obvious, Tinubu's foot soldiers need to as well talk about Atiku's corrupt past to balance. Anyway Nigeria is a country where many earn living through one corrupt practices or the other.It will take a long time for most of us to start living on clean money. The institutions are weak, most of the billionaires are either govt assisted or former office holders. The nation has been raped and bastardised.

I don't want to say anything about Reno, I just reserve my comment

sibepoc:
This Reno is an extremely toxic and bitter person. How can you be so obsessed on talking about cricitizing one person.. These days everything he posts is about Obi.. He should get a life abeg

Yet he still claims to be a pastor.
He does not know that he whosoever that condemns the good man and justifies the wicked is an abomination.
Reno needs to check his stand with God

ZombieSlayer1:
It's pathetic how Reno has reduced himself to a dog. After Peter Obi wins the election next year this same Reno will come and ask for forgiveness and he'll say it's "Politics"

I don't think Reno is a pastor he claims he is. Anyway it's end times things

Ceenachi:
The only reason Atiku and Tinubu even get mind to contest for this election na because say Nigeria na black country.

It's also the reason they have supporters.
We are known all over the world to be bottom feeders and it’s the main reason people disrespect us, just give a typical black man money and he’ll sell his entire community out.

I tear up sometimes when i think about Nigeria and the black race.

Reality, may God deliver the black race

9jatriot:
Ortom wan also commission project? Wonders shall never end.

Makinde better be careful, I think he is the only second term governor in that group.

If these governors were aggrieved northerners, they won't be making these amount of noise, they will work underground and achieve their aim. Southerners expose their plans too early, all the time.

Just as most northern APC members are working underground for Atiku. E go shock South especially SW. It may lead to weakening if not demise of APC. I see it every day

Theunbothered:
Nigerians are clearly not tired of the high cost of living, the pound should reach 2000 first so you people can wake up.

Brother, how did yo know? You are very correct. God bless you

Thinkam:
God bless you bro, let the country be on fire who cares, APC must rule the ashes.

It is yaruba turn

They must rule

OBJ rightly deserve all these accolades to say the least. He is a patriot and nationalist.
Let him who the cap fits wear it.
Atiku is very right in this one, Atiku is also a nationalist

Zetty177x:
U must be Yoruba . Yoruba will never discuss ideas with ideas. But will look for your mistakes or past to shame u. Prove me wrong. Are u Yoruba or not?

He is certainly, most of them write this way. They only believe in their people, culture and sole advancement of Oduduwa nation, they don't have the interest of Nigeria at heart at all. They prefer to stay in their place, invest their rather than coming to your place, these bigots can never attend any worship center presided by another tribe.We know their plans and it come to nothing

Adebanjo And Clark’s Distortion Of History

By

Jide Oluwajuyitan

On Nov 3, 2022

Culture and history are critical for the survival of any society. The former with its social, educational and spiritual dimensions, allows us to understand ourselves and why things are the way they are while the latter, as record of past events, allows us to find a pathway for the future.

Unfortunately, the ongoing battle for Igbo presidency by the duo of Pa Edwin Clark and Ayo Adebanjo is at best a distortion of our recent cultural and historical experiences. Their repeated warning of imminent disintegration of the country if there is no Igbo presidency by 2023 is seen by many as a strategy to remain relevant even at 94 forgetting the world is a stage.

Pa Clark has been reminded by many concerned Nigerians that if he so loves the Igbo, he should demonstrate such love by ensuring charity starts from home. He was part of the Gowon cabinet that set up David Mark-led Abandoned Properties Committee after the civil war. Instead of issuing inciting statements to mislead our youths who have no knowledge of our history, he as leader of Ijaw nation, should prevail on his people to release Igbo properties confiscated since 1970 by Ijaws who rightly claim ownership of the land on which the properties were erected. After all, the Igbo returned to Lagos after the civil war not only to take possession of their properties, but rents collected for them by their Yoruba hosts including Pa Subomi Balogun who was said to have handed huge funds to the late vice president, Alex Ekwueme upon his return to Lagos after the civil war.

Following Pa Clark passion and drive for Igbo presidency, many have also wondered when the love between him, his people and the Igbo nation started. I am sure concerned Nigerians just want to be sure Pa Clark is not driven by opportunism just to remain relevant because what we have on record is that he and his Ijaw nation, for fear of their more aggressive and resourceful Igbo neighbours, have since independence sought refuge under Hausa-Fulani in faraway north. Not too long ago, I think it was Tanko Yakassai , one of the founding fathers of Arewa Consultative Forum, who reminded Clark of this historical fact .

As for Ayo Adebanjo, he apparently just couldn’t stand the success of his son. When he claimed ownership of the carcass of AD after Obasanjo’s deadly blow to the party in 2003, Tinubu left him with his trophy to form the AC that later metamorphosed into ACN, the platform he used to retrieve Obasanjo’s stolen governorship victories in Yoruba strongholds of Edo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun. Adebanjo reluctantly praised his son for saving the West from Obasanjo.

But Adebanjo became green with envy when Tinubu aligned his ACN with Buhari’s CPC and other parties to form the APC that took Yoruba mainstream political tendency to the centre for the first time since independence in 1960. Adebanjo vigorously campaigned against APC in 2015 just as he did in 2019 when he railroaded Afenifere to supporting Atiku and Peter Obi ticket against Buhari and Osinbajo, his son. Pa Adebanjo lost out on both occasions precisely because Yoruba voters are never led by the nose.

This is why many believe his current endorsement of Obi as the only man who would restructure the country will probably not count for much. This is because, unlike 2015 and 2019, the stakes are higher in 2023. For the Yoruba, “omo eni ki buru, kale f’ekun je”(your child cannot be so disobedient that you drive him to the lion’s den). That was the message of last Sunday’s public endorsement of Bola Tinubu by Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the respected and undisputed leader of Afenifere who believes Tinubu, his son, is better equipped and better prepared to tackle Nigerian problems than Peter Obi.

Unfortunately, while trying to cry louder than the bereaved, Adebanjo and Clark have not clearly defined what they mean by Igbo marginalisation. If it is in terms of the breach of federal character principle as President Buhari has been accused of doing with his lopsided appointment into sensitive positions, Igbo maximized the same opportunity under Balewa and Ironsi 1959-1966 and between 2011 and 2015 when they hijacked Jonathan government.

However, if by Igbo marginalization, Pa Clark and Adebanjo, meant exclusion of Igbo from the presidency, we also have no evidence Igbo political leaders have at any time expressed regret for the choices they have always made. What history tells us is that Igbo might have not been at the driver’s seat, they and Hausa Fulani jointly ruled Nigeria between 1959 and 2015. (General Alabi Isama “the Tragedy of Victory’)

And we cannot escape history.

In the 1959 election, Igbo dominated NCNC came first with about 2.6m votes, followed by AG with 2m votes and Ahmadu Bello’s NPC coming a distant third with 1.9m votes. Rather than form an alliance with AG and lead the country, Igbo leadership settled for NPC as an obedient beautiful bride. Their choice earned them juicy cabinet positions including the portfolios of Finance, Works, Transportation, Education, External Affairs, leadership of Nigeria railways, University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, University of Nsukka and Yaba College of Technology among others.

In 1979, Igbo NPP came third after NPN and UPN. As it was in the first republic, Zik/NPP declared themselves the beautiful bride. NPP leaders including the revered rebel leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu who returned from exile after the war decided the way forward for the Igbo was a working alliance with NPN. Again the deal earned them the Senate presidency and speakership of the Lower house among other juicy cabinet portfolios.

In 1993, Igbo supported Tofa against MKO Abiola. And when Abiola against all odds won the election, some Igbo leaders led by Arthur Nzeribe and others, fearing there will be nothing to ‘chop’, provided dubious intellectual support for Babangida to annul the election. And when Abiola was incarcerated for winning an election, Igbo leaders including the revered Odumegwu Ojukwu who served as Abacha’s envoy to Europe to de-market MKO Abiola on account of his many wives, kept demonizing him in the media until his mysterious death.

In 1999, Igbo rejected Olu Falae , the Yoruba candidate to join the northern establishment and their retired military generals to impose Obasanjo who was roundly rejected by the Youruba, as president. And while vindictive Obasanjo marginalized Yoruba for eight years, the stars of his administration were prominent Igbos including Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chukwuma Soludo, Oby Ezekwesili, the Uba brothers and others. The joke among Igbo was with Obasanjo as president, Igbo nation needed no president of Ibo extraction.

President Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan’s government 2011-2915, with Anyim Pius Anyim as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, like Obasanjo’s administration before it, was an Igbo government. Okonjo-Iweala, the de-facto prime minister, did not deny allegation Igbo took over her ministry and parastatals under her but tried to educate Nigerians that Igbo secured their positions on merit.

For the Igbo political elite, there are no regrets for their preference to serve our nation as ‘the beautiful bride’. The only people losing sleep over perceived Igbo marginalization are attention-seeking Pa Edwin Clark and his friend Pa Ayo Adebanjo who on Arise TV on Monday justified his support for Peter Obi by claiming that apart from him, there is no other living Yoruba that has so faithfully served the Yoruba nation.

You are truly working for your money, but remember that 'there are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand'.Proverbs 19:21

Ezeama400:
This is one of the shows that is making Tinubu politically blind.. He believes that Yorubas are religioiously interwoven despite MURIC's madness in dividing Yorubas along religious lines..
Tinubu sees Nigeria politics as SW politics where religion plays little role in politics hence his Muslim Muslim ticket..

Apart from SW, No other region in Nigeria is not conscious of their religion as it stands today due to obvious reasons especially Christians ..

SS,SE,NE,NW and NC always lay much emphasis on their religion in all aspect.. The aformentioned regions place religion ahead of evething except SW that place culture ahead of other things ..

Let Tinubu continue seeing Nigeria politics with Yoruba eyes..

I hope he has a shock absorber that will help in Feb

You are very correct and he will see the effect of this in 2023

LeoDeKing:
Zombidense consoling themselves with inanities as usual. Decamping has always been between pdp and apc, no movement to the Zombidient ipob party so far. That thing dey really pain Zombidense.

No go face PDP abi APC and PDP na same party?
All your members don dey decamp go PDP, dey here they shout Zombidense. No be craze be that?
Anyway Atiku is coming! Power to the north

Tinubuadvocate:
You north will not rule Nigeria in 2023 its turn of southern Nigeria .North will disintegrate this country with their selfish interest.

S
Which South?

Eriokanmi:
Your opinion , I guess? Atiku will not win massively in the north. Down south, especially in the south west, atiku won those states because he ran with Peter obi in 2019. I voted buhari in 2015 but changed the baton in 2019 because atiku picked obi. I think logically as a businessman. Dollar is now over 800 naira,just so you know. Had atiku won in 2019, obi would have headed the economic team and revived our ailing economy. That's the same way logically inclined people think, especially business people like us.

It will be hard for atiku to get meaningful votes in the south west next year. Maybe he'd get some votes in osun shaa, because of Adeleke. As it stands now, only obi is more popular amongst the leading contestants. Makinde can endorse but can't force people to vote his candidates. That's another point to note. South south and south east voted so massively for atiku in 2019 because of Obi, his running mate back then as well. The narrative will change this time that obi is running.

Forget matter SW will vote massively for Tinubu not Obi, they are more tribally inclined than nationally . They are Yorubas before being Nigerians.
Nigerians are sentimental than logical when it comes to voting even if dollar climbs to 2000naira/ dollar, many won't care, they will rather complain

onatisi:
well i am not in the east so i wont say you are lying but the whole east cant vote for obi alone and i believe the votes will be scattered and split

Who will scatter their votes in SE, the worst that will happen to Obi is that North and SW will not vote him, but as for dividing his votes in SE, no go there at all. Obi is too loved in SE
Though I want Atiku to win so that Southern Nigeria will be shamed

booblacain:
I thought Igbos voted massively for Obasanjo.

They say OBJ is not a Yoruba man

Rekhina:
mu arewa mun ja kunnen atiku akan kabilanci me ya sa Yarbawa za su kawo kabilanci a wannan

When I told Yarabawa that we north are watching them ,they called the eyes of the north ipob mpukummiri addict ,
All will bear witness that waziri Atiku was cautioned by north for his tribal utterances. I cautioned him too ,Peter obi has never approached ohanaze for endorsement
Why will all Yarabawa clap for this show of discrimination?
This is Wickedness , their cleverness aren't wisdom ,tell that to them kwuma

#IamNorth
#lamProud

The tribal game they started though they are most tribal region in Nigeria will be the greatest undoing of Tinubu in 2023. They were clapping for him when he sang Oduduwa anthem at a public function recently.
I see the north giving the GEJ treatment in 2023.
That's we keep saying that Atiku is coming

onatisi:
This is what we have been saying , emergence of obi has turned this in a regional one and tinubu dumb social media supporters stupidly fell for the trick. Now majority of ibos in the south west and south east will rather vote for peter obi or atiku. Let's see how votes from the south west will win the election for tinubu,
If it is just 2 big parties ,it would have been easy for the south to team up as one but that is not the case now. All atiku needs to do is hold the north firmly. He will win some states in the west and east .

When we say Atiku is coming, power to the north we are not kidding, we know how they play politics in Nigeria. Wike got it wrong by refusing to microzone PDP presidential ticket to SE, that led to Obi's decamp. Atiku promised that he won't contest if he they zone it to SE, but Wike was all over the place insulting Obi.
APC would have been better with an Amaechi or Osibanjo, Tinubu bought everything and here we are today. For refusing PMB to choose his successor, APC is losing out to PDP. I keep telling people that north is not comfortable with a political tiger like Tinubu who they can't control. They have given him the ticket to leave him at the middle of the road. SW started this tribal card with Fayose taking Fayemi to beg Wike to support BAT even as a PDP, now Makinde, now the north wants to play same game SW started
To cut a long story short, all odds favor Atiku to be next president, please don't tell us how can a northern man take over from a northern man.
Politics is ruthless and selfish

[quote author=Salamalo post=118048912][/quote]South is not united at all and north is reaping for the disunity in the south.

Vote4Obi:
We all saw it coming. Tinubu is not smart at all. How can you need other people's vote yet be encouraging tribalism everyday. That's total foolishness!!!

I heard that they even sang Oduduwa anthem last week. Tinubu will fail the election. North knows he is desperate and he is on a mission to empower the Yorubas and punish the north and Igbos. They have started dealing with Igbo traders in Lagos.
He showed his desperation by not allowing PMB should his successor by buying the tickets. He will spend the money and will lose this election. SE and SS will not vote him, north will disappoint him
His online ragtags are busy fighting Obi while Atiku has the northern votes in his bag

PrinceOfLagos:
Ekun egbere

The north are destroying APC right before your eyes but Labour party is your problem

They said Yorubas made PMB win the election in 2015 and 2019, the north will show them that it is northern votes that gave PMB victory. They will all line behind Atiku and he will win.It is the north that determines who wins the election. PMB have not forgiven BAT for his outburst against him. He asked PMB to nominate VP but he declined. Is it not red flag that PMB is not happy that he stampeded into not choosing his successor by buying northern governors?
North cannot support a political tiger like Tinubu.
Power to the north

PrinceOfLagos:
Ekun egbere

The north are destroying APC right before your eyes but Labour party is your problem

Immediately Tinubu won the primaries I knew it was the end of APC
His fellow contestants during the primaries knows he is a bad market that is why none is following him upandan. North is not comfortable with Tinubu at all and his handlers can't discern it.
He has even given his ambition a tribal colouration with what they are doing in Lagos. He nailed himself by singing Oduduwa anthem the other day. They know he is a tribalist and regionalist, they will not vote him
Atiku will win the election

APC will lose the election, ATIKU is next president

So funny all these Arabs dont even know that Nigeria exists. They no dey reason Nigeria at all. Ask guys in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwaiti, Saudia etc

WillyCassey:
Interesting! That Doguwa behaves like a thug. Fighting over recognition everywhere and having his face on an attire... that's some narcissistic shit right there.

He deserves recognition, he has always being a Tinubu staunch supporter all this while

Bontafa:
Phahahahahah

Kadg10 come

I don't believe it

WHERE IS LEGENDHERO

Invest4growth:
Wike no send at this point. He is a loose canon. Presidential aspirant to Presidential spokesman, what a downgrade..Dele Momodu fighting for political relevance when your job as a journalist took you around the globe.
My issue is very simple. [b]Are these people supporting Atiku saying the Truth or deceiving him. Assuming Atiku wins, then we will have 12 straight years of northern rule in a multiethnic [/b]country like hours That my one vote is very crucial and I am sure not going to waste it

Nothing is wrong with it, after all if Tinubu we are going to be having 16 years of Yoruba rule without SE and NE ruling Nigeria before

Clique1788:
South West is already tagged as obidints. Forget all those men playing endorsement card with both atiku and his partner in looting tinubu.
You think say APC never show Yoruba people shege?

For your mind? SW is voting Tinubu, know this and know peace
