This man is talking trash. This is a beer parlour talk

You have said nothing but the truth.

Tell me why Nigeria will not be so backward when these are the kind of individuals that have been leading the country.

Talk is really cheap.

How many industries has he built in his village?

Judeerons32:
So every photocopied degree in the world does not have date and signature I greet you

Go and read his submission again. This time around, read carefully and apply logic if you ever took a course in logic in the university.

OfficialAwol:
So what's your issue with president coming from Southeast since you admit competent people can be found therein?

I don't have any issue with wherever the president comes from.

I only have issue with your myopic opinion that want the president not come from other regions primarily because southeast and northeast are yet to take their turn.

OfficialAwol:
So to you, competence resides anywhere else but Southeast and Northeast?

No, competence can be found anywhere including southeast and northeast. Do you think otherwise?

OfficialAwol:
You chose to close your eyes to the reasons I gave for projecting Umahi and Zulum.

You didn't read where I talked about Umahi doing much with little resources?

You didn't read where I talk about him being a trailblazer?

You didn't read where I said of Zulum to be a believer of merit and that he is detribalized?

Did you suspend cognition and reason just so you could criticize?

Find below your own words:

"And being that Buhari is a northerner commonsense, equity, fairness and the need for national cohesion demands that power should come to South, nay Southeast."

"Now, in the Southeast, Umahi would be APC's best bet with his trailblazing performance in Ebonyi with little resources, he beats a corrupt Orji Uzor Kalu or an imbecilic Okorocha hands down."

"Then pair him with another trailblazer in the Northeast, Umaru Zulum. A man that has demonstrated intelligence, his belief in merit, a builder and a detribalized northerner."

"It's a simple calculation that Zulum would succeed Umahi in 2031 to make up for Northeastern quest for power."

"Because after Obasanjo and Osinbajo's 8 years apiece as President and Vice President of this country, Osinbajo, Fayemi, Tinubu or anyone from Southwest has no business with the presidency in 2023."

Your primary reason why the duo should be considered for the presidency is because their regions have not produced the president since 1999.

To you, competence is important if only the candidates hail from either the Southeast or the Northeast regions.

How long shall we continue with this myopic way of doing things? Nigeria should come first before any regional sentiment.

Your priority for Nigeria is on how to appease zones perceived not to have had a fair shot at the presidency. This is absolutely ridiculous. A Nigeria that works for all is far more important than where the president comes from.

cpu2006:
then, Which one did he submitted?

I don't know because I was not there when it was submitted. Did you sight the original before concluding that the photocopy was a replica of the original?

cpu2006:
No. He submitted original's photocopy.

Did you sight the original before concluding it was a photocopy of the original?

.

A very useless post.

Wrong caption as usual. There is nothing BBC in the content.

This is no news. Gbolohan is only expressing his opinion.

MOD, kindly do the needful.

Obamaofusa:
Is this all you have got to say?
I was waiting for the mediocrity part.
None is perfect.

Yes, none is perfect, yet, he had to label another imperfect over what he himself has failed woefully in.

dustmalik:
The guy you quoted is 100% right.

The person he quoted is 100% wrong. He is basing his judgement on an assumption that he is already guilty for attempting to run. You do not base a sound judgement on an assumption.

Noise maker, why hide under a deceitful headline? If really you mean business, kindly append your name.

jesmond3945:
The power of a currency comes from its country of origin and also it's ability to buy locally made goods rather than imported. We don't spend dollars in Nigeria, we spend im naira. Now I mentioned earlier that whatever is imported into the country automatically becomes expensive except what we produce. Coke is imported and bottled in Nigeria. The secret ingredients of coke is not made in Nigeria. Secondly, power issue. It costs more to produce your bottle of coke in Niaja than in US. I can tell you that most of our foodstuffs imported into America are very expensive for this same reason. Tell Nigerians in diaspora how much they spend in african shop compared to the equivalent in foreign shops. The guy is saying if you seek imported goods to locally produced ones, you have to take responsibility and bear the cost rather than lamenting why the naira currency is lower against the dollar.
Nigeria would rather buy imported palm oil for 5000 naira than buy their locally produced for 400 naira, so what is the business of govt in that? The only way to make naira stronger is cut down on importation and generate more power and also let Nigerians be productive more because they are generally lazy.

How much is our local rice and how much is the foreign one?

dedeorji:
This is absolutely true.
We are looking for solutions from the wrong government.

Let them allow LGA to be autonomous and financially independent, then, we will face our LGA. For now, Federal Government and the governor's share our common patrimony between themselves and should be responsible for the rot they have created over the years.

I am very sure that this dishonest governor never allowed LGAs to be financially independent when he was the governor of Lagos State.

mosdii:
INEC has guidelines yes for sure, but powers to disqualify no it doesn't.

It has been stated clearly by the Apex court that INEC has no power to disqualify or exclude a candidate or party from contesting an election.

What are the guidelines for? Are they for decoration?

TimeManager:
Buhari is not a dynamic party leader. APC has lost a number of sates than it had in 2015. Even if Buhari was the PDP party leader, he would have lost more states & practically would have left PDP for dead. I bet he dosen't understand how President rallies round & mobilises party stalwarts to stabilize & gain control of more states. States across the federation work their socks off to ensure your victory, the least you can do is ensure maximum support than being laid back in Abuja.

kiss the truth!

Which kiss the truth are you talking about?

You want Buhari to use the instruments of the State to rig elections for Tinubu and Oshiomhole.

Come on, let us reason and work for a better Nigeria.

backbone503:
Well, since they're advanced, they'll surely have advanced means of "buying and selling" votes. I've never actively taken part in the electioneering process in any developed country, hence I'll limit the scope of this discuss to Nigeria, where, atleast, I have.

In other words, you are not sure of your claims.

Generally, electioneering process may not be perfect globally but ours is a complete mockery of what it ought to have been.

This trend is a big shame.

tamdun:
Wetin this man do for his first tenure? I wish Edo people good luck

Wetin Bubu don do?

I wish you and your APC dreamers good luck

backbone503:
Is there any nation as developed as the US? If they questioned the integrity of their election and the upcoming one, what then will be said of developing and underdeveloped ones.

We are talking about election merchandising and not integrity. Stop deflecting our argument.

Since, you claimed winning elections in developed countries is by buying and selling. Kindly name just 10 developed countries where the winning of elections is by buying and selling.

backbone503:
You think elections are won or lost solely by the ballot? Most elections are won and lost before the election day

Can you name just 10 elections in the developed world that were traded to the highest bidder?

backbone503:
Even if they triple their Edo energy, they can't win Ondo. Edo was simply traded just to demystify Tinubu and finally relegate Oshomole

So, winning an election under the APC has become a commodity that is now traded for the highest bidder. It is no longer the people's votes that should win elections.

Anyway, Edo, my beloved ancestral home, is not on sale.

And APGA controls 1

solmus:





Ghen ghen!!! MOU Governor get your lawyers ready

Pastor Ize Iyamu's Lawyers and APC lawyers were already set far before the election


.

Comedian, it is too early for this old rhetorical display of shame.

The APC house is divided. That should give you more concerns than the chariots you believe in. Go and put your APC house in order first before it goes into oblivion.

You may trust in chariots but he who God has blessed is blessed forever.

Your National body has accepted the choice of the good people of Edo State and has moved on. See the link below:

JAMO84:
Ignorance. Tinubu brought Akeredolu into politics. Gave him ACN to contest the first time in 2012.


Edo can never be Lagos, rat can never be lion.

True talk indeed...

A slave can never be a free born...

We are free born in Edo State and one man can never Lord over us...

Myer:
So that's why you should continue making the same mistakes? Or the more reason you should try something else?

Obaseki is a better evil between him and the stooge of those godfathers.

Myer:
Why e dey sweet you?

Obaseki clearly did almost nothing in Edo state in his first term, yet you're celebrating his second term. Don't you know that his second term is going to be worse since he has nothing to lose anymore?

Truly the problem of the country is not only the politicians but the average Nigerian who lacks vision.

You're only campaigning for Obaseki just to spite Oshiomole and APC, do you have sense at all?
Unless you're not from Edo state, otherwise you've sold your future already.

What has Bubu done?

Have you not sold your entire generation by voting in an old jackboot as a president?

HundredWays:
but how can he be defeated in his LGA

Do u think is political wise??

Do u think even if BUBU is going for the 3rd, Atiku can't defeat him in Katsina... My 2cent

But Bubu was defeated like a baby an ordinary governor in Katsina.

helinues:
My brother you self see am so...

We no kuku dey allow politicians to push us around hence not supporting any of the Edo governorship candidates cos we dey reason with out senses and also get shame.

I don't know about others oo

You lied.

You worship the Chicago bag man.
