Always scared to admit it is IPOB.

Sharply he has concluded and exempted them without any concrete investigation. The price people pay for silence and denial is what kills and continues hunting people all over the country. Where a spade is called a lamp post....

Truly sad that the officers keep getting killed. Some say he got away at the officers' expense and if it had gone the other way it would be the officers/governement know something about it or were in on it.

The lies and a confused nation. So we continue on the match to destruction....

APC and PDP think that displaying crowds induce with money means that Nigeria has accepted them

What is to say they won't accept cash and vote for them as well? The person who can participate in such a manner may do the same during elections. Don't be too sure they won't vote for them as well.

“During these debates, the candidates will be taken closer to the electorate in the South-West, South- South, and North-West geopolitical zones. “They will discuss varying issues of national importance such as foreign relations, governance structure, national defence and security, education, information technology and health among others,” he said.

According to him, the NESG is collaborating with the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) and civil society partners to cohost debates. Emessiri stated that Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, will host the second debate on December 15, while it will be the turn of Lagos on January 19, 2023, and Kano on February 16, 2023. "

How about the SOUTH EAST and NORTH EAST The debates have always been held in certain places, yet people want national votes. If it's Proper the discussions should then be done within the Six Zones. It is only fair that they reach the people of all Zones as they are bonafide citizens and are expected to vote. Also If the leaders can't visit or have programs in such places It tells us that they will never see or visit such places in their usual attitude.

Not a single Presidential politician has visited the entire SE to campaign o interact with them at that level. Why are people avoiding certain parts of this country? While they hope for votes from such sections of the nation. I strongly feel its time that the Zones begin to ask for equal and fair participation. Na Nigerian people still dey there?

ImDStar:
I have high regards for the Muslims clerics for their boldness and doggedness, their ability and stand on choosing who lead them and represent them!!
They're not fighting for their God in this regard but protecting their interest boldly without apology.

Why can't the church decides who lead them?
Why can't the leadership tell their followers who should represent them?

No northern Governor born of a woman would ever, wether secretly or openly support Christian Christian ticket, but here we have some docile people whose pocket and greediness is of outmost important to them.

See them fooling themselves around trying to be smart.

Reason is, Majority of the fake people presenting themselves as pastors today are money induced people, na where belle face pastors the holy bible talked about, except for few.

Very soon, you will see them deceiving innocent Nigerians that their god show them Tinubu is the angel to take Nigeria to paradise.

I praise God for the genuine men and women of God.
A oni se ASHISHE OO.

In Nigeria, people are motivated to participate for many reasons, from ethnoreligious to party affiliations. Now very few vote based on competence and the quality of an individual to deliver. We are not far from any other democracy in the world. It is the same in the world be it the West or the East. So we are not different.

We only lack strong institutions to act as checks toward people in power. The Parliament and the government organs responsible for all that concerns national and state welfare should be empowered to know their responsibility and actively play their roles selflessly regardless of the people in power.

We have a Federal character commission to balance things yet people complain about nepotism and lack of inclusiveness. We have bad leaders yet we have national assemblies at the states and federal levels. We are crushed by crime and insecurity yet we have these security outfits. We complain of welfare, poor education or lack of infrastructure name it agencies and laws exist to manage them or address their issues.

People say it's about the leaders only. I say it's about everyone playing his part. Citizens can't be praising criminals at the expense of the nation or avoid discouraging patriots and honest citizens at the expense of known corrupt individuals in society. Today we have over 20 political parties and over 10 presidential candidates yet we are mentally stuck on only three acting as if we have no other options because these are rich or big men that have something to buy people with and not necessarily in terms of competency to lead.

immortalcrown:
The top-three pastors are Adeboye, Oyedepo and Ibiyome. They will never do this.

Likewise the sultan and other Popular Imams

A gathering of mostly PDP party men and some disgruntled APC northern Christians. They are just making it seem like a difficult thing to decide and that they represent inclusiveness but truth be told this is PDP and Atiku loyalist meeting.

Imagine Boni Haruna a hardcore Atiku man being fair to other people at the detriment of his person Atiku. Only one thing dey possible for this meeting na to support Atiku or PDP.

@ OP how about you start by finding out who is Obi's running mate and the spokesperson? At least they are visible.

Now when you are done, people like you sow discord amongst the people of Nigeria? Which one is Muslim Northerners? If not to segregate and discriminate.

If you meant well you should have said Nigerians up north. Continue the masked hatred.

floret23:
Arifin yi ti wa poju o. Arifin ile iyagbe. The disdain North has for Tinubu is getting too much. They now see him as someone less than a toddler.

No disdain there and If true it's between him and Abdullahi Adamu or APC stop dragging the entire North into everything that is typical of an individual or groups action. Adamu does not represent the North. He only represents his party and himself. Stop being silly.

Honjoshy4u:
Gumi don align with the North.
I feel Tinubu will Labour in vain in the Northern region.

Stop generalizing, Gumi align with Atiku his benefactor. People should stop saying North.

The North is currently divided in terms of votes between Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi. Some support is based on Political party, others regional, and lastly religious. Just like in the South people equally have that issue. So it's not just about the region.

I am from the North and live in the North. I have met people around the area. The greatest undoing of Tinubu will be the abysmal performance of PMB. It is truly destroying the support APC enjoys in the North.

That issue of security is the bane and major issue that if not curtailed will make voters kick against the APC in the North, across all levels both state and national.

Also, the Muslim-Muslim ticket has also caused issues amongst the APC religious block. Tinubu's chances are as good as Atiku's, the only problem is how can Tinubu distance or insulate himself from PMB/APC without losing what support he currently has in the APC.

A lot of people I have met are just confused between the choice of Atiku and Tinubu, that much is a fact they weigh Atiku around trust and weigh Tinubu around the PMB performance. Whilst the Predominant Christian areas are divided between an Atiku and Obi which is based on religion, the PMB factor and then Muslim Muslim ticket.

I have seen more Northerners despise PMB and APC like never before due to the insecurity and difficulties with rising prices. In some areas, PDP is capitalizing on that in the North to sell their candidate. Also in the last primaries, a lot of House members and party members in the APC lost the primaries and they are gravitating towards PDP in rebellion, not for any north but to remain relevant in politics. Especially where they are relegated to retirement which they don't want.


I feel it will take a lot to motivate voters in the North. I fear a higher voter apathy and also a rejection of APC across levels because people are tired of their failures and are not willing to give them a chance in such difficulties. So it's not so much ethnic or regional If you ask me but a wide range of reasons similar to what is happening in the South which is across party, regional and ethno-religious.

Pauldollars:
Meanwhile only Peter Obi keeps talking about utilising the vast agricultural lands in Northern Nigeria for export production among all the Presidential candidates in Nigeria.

Talking is one thing and doing is another. We have heard every government speak on the need to take food production seriously since Obasanjo. What we have not done is attain our full potential. How we will do that and the commitment or resources to back it up.

Today we have NIRSAL and BOA doing their part but simultaneously. We have a problem with security and the technology gap. How do you solve them? We shouldn't assume words are enough. Security and land issues are a big problem 0. It is beyond the FG and just the president. States have a lot to do with land ownership. Farming at a large scale involves more than the noise we make. It involves all, right attitude, ready market, and even infrastructure.

Anyway, wish him and them luck getting it right whoever wins.

mastersplanet:
What is the motive of the post, shebi he left office many years ago, if at all his the fairest back them. What does the article deserve promotion and attention now��‍♂️. Somebody is taking bribe somewhere

Shebi person insult the Ex-Gov based on his own administration about being anti-Christian,pro-boko haram etc. and now that the response from a neutral entity is coming, it hurts to hear abi.

The people that spewed malicious lies against Shettima are the liars and demons that took a bribe and choose to be mischief makers all in the name of politics.

For the record am not a fan of the duo of BAT & Shettima but it will be unfair to label them wrongly. It does nobody any good. That is how it starts with lies and people hold on to it and act as if it's true. Do remember that you should be fair to all regardless. No faith supports lies and propaganda and surely the truth will set you free.

They should leave Gov. Zulum abeg.....make them go find another person o!

Borno needs that man we need him there abeg o! Before people come roll back his effort. Abeg not now o!

Dapson73:



Believe it or not, Tinubu will forgives Osinbajo if he apologizes for his mistakes.

One unique feature of Jagaban is ability to forgive easily. More reason he has a lot of faithful disciples.

God bless the incoming GCFR.
God bless Nigeria.

Amen o!

''I am happy that I have passed the test of character by not paying any delegate. I passed the test of courage, by speaking the truth in the midst of wolves and the test of conviction by standing true to my beliefs. Those who will make a difference must be different”

Okay after the cost of #100million ....Oga you for pay advert space for TV station, if na to talk, carry you go there! That would have afforded you more than enough talking time to whatever sort of power you're talking too

limeta:
Rule no 1 no fulani
2 no Muslim
3 must be a Christian from any part of the country as zoning no longer hold waters

But this item 3 and 2 ehn! is directly proportional o. Just refer to how simple it was to apply your logic "must be a ChristianMuslim from any part of the country as zoning no longer hold waters"

caracas:

That will happen in odua kingdom right?
Cos am sure you are not referring to Nigeria

Oga I don affirm your position with a positive prayer now. No vex

Mooh247:


Obanikoro did worse even Muiz Banire and they are all back together

If he can pay for Yinka Odumakin's medical bill, the would surely Take Osinbajo back as they are quite close

Okay as in the same party and as a staunch BAT loyalist. Abi as an opposition member who changed party to one he was opposed to? Anyway, Amen. let me be so wrong! We need to move forward sha.

muykem:
Tiunbu is not like that hence his political success. Osinbajo can't come from VP to AG, that's ridiculous.

Okay

yemmit90:


Tinubu is not likely to do that, the point has been made already, but the fact still remain that he will never give or nominate him for any key position ever again. Same as Aregbesola.

Amen o! I pray he applies reconciliation to everything that has happened.

GloriousGbola:


You do not know your history.

Obanikoro was junior minister of defense and used military to harass Tinubu and apc

Ogunlewe was head of ferma and used ferma to do same

Today both are in apc.
Tinubu could have buried AIT for the lion of bourdillon hit piece. But today AIT is alive and well.

Osinbajo will be alright.

Okay sir! If you say so

Komu1048:



Oga forget, apart from he didn't step down what wrong did Osinbanjo did. At the height of provocation he always maintain his cool, he was called Judas, Ice cream man from Tunubu group but yet he always affirm his respect for BAT even ask his follower not to say derogatory statement to his camp. Tinubu understand this n that's y he still welcome him n didn't even challenge y he compete wt him

NO vex abeg na simple opinion! Just saying It's a silent war that may continue to undermine his relevance going forward. Tinubu's antecedents and recent comments suggest he is also vindictive or someone that expects you always pay your dues or face the repercussion. You can ask Ambode, ask Fashola, ask Aregbesola, and many more. Despite efforts to make peace he ensured they were taught a lesson to his satisfaction. It's still early to conclude he is done with him, that's my point.

Right now he still needs him to cross the last hurdle and get elected. As it will be unwise to lose any support right now. So if you permit me, am thinking he will also screw PMB after handing over, Just to set him straight. So make una dey careful sha! He is not respected and feared for no reason o! He most have some thing worth pulling to get you in line such as career-killing punishment.

Una don come again abi...With all this I go do. Calm down oga until you reach there, see wetin spoil o! una no go hear now!

Mooh247:
I wish Jagaban can retain Amaechi as Transportation Minister, Dave Umahi as Minister of Works and Osinbajo as the Antorney General

Na Osinbanjo own fit get ke leg sha....I have a feeling Tinubu will want to tame him even further to the lowest status. Just to prove to others that if you do like this as I made you, I can destroy you.

Kizzygentle:

Then you must be a learner in Nigeria politics..

Am definitely note it! I have voted since the first elections between Falae & Obj. Just for the records I never regret doing my part even if am wrong. It's about fulfilling your civil responsibility until we get it right.

If others got it right, we too can. We are getting there because we learn every time. When it started people sat at home and wrote results with huge margins today that have reduced. Another case is where people are determined no one can manipulate their votes eg. point to Gov. Soludo in Anambra and even Ex-president GEJ( as incumbent) vs PMB. We will get it right someday. the people's vote can work if we are all serious about it.

Let's not be discouraged. If we make mistakes we learn and improve them. Not fight about it, become hateful about it, or even fall back and give up on our duties to things in life. We want the best but are never willing to sacrifice anything for it. We prefer to reap where we didn't sow and let our God-given rights and resources go to waste.

In every FOUR years, that's 1460 days. All they ask from us is only 2 days at the most to fix our leadership. As people, we instead prefer to keep lamenting, than acting.

Kizzygentle:
Two things are involved...
Tinubu wins the primaries and atiku wins the presidency
OR
Buhari's legit candidate wins the primaries and APC retains power
BUT
What everyone should know is that Peter Obi can never win.. Know this and know peace.. I will still cast my vote for Peter Obi but deep down we all know the game..

Regarding Peter Obi never say never just yet

Mooh247:
Imagine Udom and Ayim stepping down for Wike and Edo delegates Supporting Wike

Wike would have been drinking his wine to celebrate victory

Udom yes , Anyim no....That man scored nothing. Is when you have something to offer nah

Abeg make una remove this bow mentality! He merely exchanges pleasantries with Atiku or Aspirants sounds a lot better. Allow politicians do what they know best abeg. Nigerians are truly complicated people

Serious!!! But your information provides little information to work with other than it's a faceless group of anyone willing to join criminality. Now we don't know if it's the acclaimed mysterious Herdsmen, DSS, UGM, IPOB1, IPOB2 or ESN? No evidence was provided beyond the abduction.

Na why they warn una. When it gets out of control you will not sleep because of many lawless groups that will use the opportunities to create carnage. It is only the beginning when this thing settles ehn! these people who have tasted and enjoyed the blood lust or power of terrorizing people will do more to remain relevant in your society. This means they will not be willing to let things go and criminality at the least will be there to stay for much longer causing havoc.

The sooner it is reversed the better. I also think the security agents are equally not interested in tackling the issues because they see the community as being complicit. Hence their nonchalant attitude toward the violent events. The security agents will rather protect themselves and let the defenseless creators of the monster be eaten by the monster.

All these numbers are people's children. The media also needs to learn about honesty while reporting and avoiding biased reports. The same example of the casualties in battle can be placed on the USA campaign in Vietnam against a much smaller and less sophisticated nation. The USA equally lost to the Afghan Taliban after committing several allied multi-forces, sanctions, advanced weaponry, and over 10years of using all that resources to zero results. The Taliban are still alive and in power.

The numbers are not new or the worse. The take-home is that wars are never good and they remain unpredictable and after much the results are never met. Lastly, disinformation is fair game in conflicts and it does nobody any good. It's the last resort with a lot to lose. Russia will lose the west will lose and Ukraine will lose. Humanity will lose too. If only things were just and fair. The so-called UN is rendered weak useless when needed the most and only acts best against weak states. Powerful nation-states with veto power are exempt from any compliance or enforcement.

The world has no balance and humanity never learn.

It is truly amazing If only we can harness the beautiful places
