Hate or love Obasanjo, there's no doubt he is probably the most nationalistic and detribalised leader Nigeria has ever had.

I mean, the head of the 'cabal' and arguably one of the most powerful figures in his government was an Igbo man - Andy Uba. He gave free rein and great power to people like EL Rufai as FCT Minister and Nuhu Ribadu as EFCC chair. He sacked and even humiliated his tribesmen such as the recently deceased Tafa Balogun as IGP and Minister Sunday Afolabi. No time for ethnic sentimental nonsense.

If Tinubu is banking on nonsense Yoruba lokan ethnic politics and is seeking Obasanjo's buy-in, then he is wasting his time.

Wipper7000:
You refused to go to school.

I've unlearned much more than you can ever learn, you crêtin. Now run along.

Who would read this long-winded rubbish from this discredited, empty shell of a nonentity?

barbstee:
It's obvious he can't bring anything new.
He's a product of the system

How is he a product of the system when he defeated the 'system' by emerging from nowhere to become a whole governor with an unknown, newly formed APGA?

This deranged and garrulous idiot is now getting on my nerves. Shut the Bleep up and gerrout. Who made you the gatekeeper or custodian of the votes of Rivers State people?

This guy is the ultimate young baller in all of Lagos. Crazy.

Tunjibalogun:
So I can pay anything with it? Like foreign exams running into 1000$

Yeah possibly. Though the payment I made was just under $500.

Chipper app is great. Works easy. I used it a few days ago.

All these Edo people and their funny funny way of speaking.

Na them dey rush am. Lol.

So because of ordinary N20m and Prado jeep, the local governor is entangling himself in this avoidable mess? How much does he spend on his mistresses? No be say you be Peter Obi wey no dey give shishi o
... You're part of the normal typical corrupt bastards who have amassed billions. Yet you dey form stingy where e no dey necessary.

So all the dragging and supposed expulsion of the woman from the party, how does it help your matter? Over small money. But because you're used to being an egoistic, small-minded dictator in your local state you would rather cut your nose to spite your face.

Some people are just stupid. Everything no be gra gra. And to think that this primitive mumu harboured hopes of clinching the presidency.

Indispensable85:
How una take dey analyze politics sef? Are you comparing Atiku to Buhari who has a cult like following in the north? Atiku does not have that charisma. So you expect sambo to win kaduna ahead of Buhari? There are too many teenagers on nairaland these days.

So is it your Tinubu that has the cult following or whatever edge you want to spin, to make an average voter in the North vote for him rather than Atiku? What's your point really?

I know you Tinubu supporters believe that with his billions of dollars budgeted for the election, vote buying, INEC buying, security agencies buying, and compromising anyone compromisable is the game plan. Because frankly, you people can't be stupid enough to think that any normal, neutral voter anywhere outside the South West would just like Tinubu enough to vote for him.

We will see about that.

We don't want to hear from 'group". We want to hear these words from the man himself. What sort of rubbish is this? After the nightmare experience with Buhari, I can't believe anyone would dare to marhet a candidate that would be addressing Nigerians through proxy 'groups', written statements, spokespersons and representatives.

Let the rotten old fool gerrout.

obaaderemi:
The coming election is gradually becoming tribal if most of the comments on social media are anything to go by.
The yorubas in their cosmopolitan attitude are divided in terms of candidates to vote for, largely between Tinubu and Obi.

Many of them state several reasons why they will rather vote for Obi than Tinubu - reasons such as: Tinubu is old, Tinubu is corrupt, Tinubu is sick, Tinubu is greedy, Tinubu picked a Muslim as running mate.....Obi is younger, Obi balanced the religious ticket, Obi is less corrupt,....

Many yorubas openly reject their own son in favour of Obi in their characteristic sense of reason. I see many of them everyday working even offline for Obi and they are ready to close their eyes to Obi's many shortcomings too.

Question is, How many Igbos do you know doing this in favour of Tinubu, a yorubaman who I know many Igbos and other non yorubas have benefited from immensely in the past when he was governor of Lagos, and even now that he is out of office?

Some of you can be very idiotic and annoying. Many Igbos "benefitted" from your thiefnumbu how exactly? So if he appointed one or two efulefu like Joe Igbokwe or that albino Ben Akabueze who are feathering their own individual nests, how does it mean that Igbos 'benefitted' from one clumsy old bastard? Did he allocate free land to Igbos or grant them tax waivers or what exactly?

Fools.

I really don't understand what this useless NCC does to warrant the massive hole it perpetuates in Nigeria's already poor finances. So issuing these meaningless periodic 'warnings' is enough to justify the ridiculous salaries and allowances they pay to the idiots employed there, ALL of whom got their jobs through one high profile connection/job slot contact or the other?

The overhauling wey Nigeria need no be small. Malware kee all of them there.

29kobo:
That's why Nigeria will never develop.

If you think your chance of developing comes when your son is in power, you have a long wait coming.

If Obi does not win next year, focus on your governors. Buhari's 8 years has done zero for the North, and the North is even worse off.

The dynamics between North and East are different. What the South East would potentially gain from a president of Igbo origin, apart from the sense of inclusion and equality, is the long desired 'federal presence' specifically in terms of infrastructure and enabling environment for trade, commerce and industry. Accelerated construction and completion of major highways and interstate roads, 2nd Niger Bridge, new bridges, dredged seaports, enhanced airports, infrastructure for industrial hubs, etc.... Stuff that would enhance their business and quality of life.

The average Igbo doesn't need to be spoon-fed like the average abokki who is probably illiterate and religiously bigoted. The North already has excellent infrastructure - roads, etc... Even in remote parts. That's what they gained from their prolonged reign in power. But human capital development/ mentality of the people can't be bought in the market or forced. That's the critical difference.

In other words, clinching the presidency would do a lot more for the South East than retaining the presidency would do for the North.

Dsalvo:
Please shut up. Tinubu's mentall acuity and ability to convene the finest leaders available, and delegate them brilliantly, has not diminished.

He is precisely what Nigeria need and not the fraudster Obi who runs from one political platform to another, in selfish pursuit of his private ambition, and cannot point to even a single leader he has mentored or supported to prominence and the glory of Anambra let alone Nigeria.

Scrutinized factually, it is obvious Obi is a big empty barrel and incompetent politician who only appeals to Igbos because of nothing but ethnocentric sentiments and tribalism.

Even honest Anambra folks will admit Lagos is a far better State for them than Anambra can ever hope to be. "Go and verify" that.

Take your own advice by shutting the hell up and fizzing away like fart. I didn't bother to read the rest of the rubbish you wrote. Only hopeless idiots and hirelings would support the old thief called Tinubu. I would never bring myself to discuss anything with vermin like you.

Now get lost, you blind bat.

Let him tell us who his real mother is.

Moh247:




Now I know ignorance is part of what is fueling the hate against Tinubu by Ipob and indomie generation

If you have ever followed Tinubu's campaign since 1993, his radio broadcast during the struggle for Democracy on Radio Kudi, his many Campaigns and his 13 editions of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Colloquium you won't say this

Many indomie generation never knew he was a radical radio presenter like Nnamdi Kanu giving Abacha gbas gbos

Infact if you want to laugh go and watch Tinubu's old campaign video and interviews on YouTube.. You go know why they call him bobo Chicago




.

I don't know what your problem is. Is it Bola Tinubu of 1993 that is on the ballot today or Bola Tinubu of 2022? We are talking in present tense, and the question her eis very straightforward. Can the same drugged up and decaying Tinubu of today engage in live debates with anyone at all, let alone Peter Obi? This is a very direct question that doesn't need you to beat about the bush.

In all of this madness, it is Yoruba Christians that would prove whether they will allow tribalism becloud their senses or not. We will wait and seem

Women never understand that for many men, sex during casual flings, situationships, no strings attached relationships etc is VERY different from sex in marriage. This thing called marriage brings with it a frustrating and demoralising combination of undue financial pressure of 'responsibility' on the man, monotony, see finish familiarity, a sense of shortchange-ment, a sense of cage-ment and unbearable stricture, and so forth. Different men handle this differently.

And to think that most 'serious' men spent a long time wooing the woman who was forming disinterest in sex during the wooing phase, only for the same woman to reveal her hypersexual core after the so-called marriage.... Some of these men can't process or come to terms with that deceitful volte-face. Besides, Conservative men don't understand it and wouldn't accept it for their so-called wife to be the one demanding sex in spite of the whole stress and pressures of the marriage itself. They expect the woman to be the sexually uninterested or neutral creature that she pretended to be in the beginning, who is only available at the husband's request, to fulfill his sexual need when he wants it..

Of course there are other men with very high sex drives who would constantly demand the thing almost everyday. But then, to each their own.

Okoroawusa:
You are right but how effective has that vote been since 1999?
We Igbos that supports and love Lagos are in minority but we always deliver our votes on election day. How many of those nwa boy actually go out to vote on election day after all the social media noise?
We have been defeating them since 1999 and we will defeat them again. We are not denying our Igboness but our umbilical cords were buried in the sands of Lagos and that gives us a physical and spiritual attachment to Lagos. We will always seek for its progress.
For them Lagos is a sojourned land but for us it's home.

You sound quite stupid, because the entirety of your disjointed musing about Lagos clearly suggests that Lagos is Tinubu and Tinubu is Lagos. You don't like or love Lagos more than the average Igbo guy doing his business in Lagos. Lagos has been Lagos long before you were born.... Long before you ever heard the name Tinubu. And Lagos would remain Lagos long after the old, greedy, thieving, frog-eyed bastard is dead and buried, so what's your point really? How stupid can a full grown man possibly be? What a joke.

You're a disgrace to yourself and your so-called family origin, wherever they may be, Igbo or not.

All these Yoruba Muslims.

Dapson73:
Some of these officers do not even know if IG gives any order or not.

They are accustomed with their old way of doing things.

Government needs to train and retrain these people so as to be able to practise their profession according to international standard.

There's nothing I hate more than this 'training and retraining' idea that is so entrenched in Nigeria. It's just bathing a pig and spraying the occasional perfume on the pig, expecting that it would somehow disguise its inherent filthy nature.

The entire Public Service at the FG, State and LG levels have been corrupted with this nonsense whereby they employ idiotically meritless, incompetent and largely unqualified people ab initio, and then purport to endlessly 'train and retrain' them. You can't build something out of nothing. People can't give what they don't have.

Nigeria needs a very drastic approach to these things. Left to me most of the employee base of security agencies, civil service and the entire public service needs to be disbanded completely, and a merit driven process should be used to repopulate them. Too many misfits and animals have been unfairly planted in the public service, and that's why Nigeria remains the irredeemable shit hole it is.

Women with their yeye fish brain can disgrace you. You need to handle them with iron hand just like children, because quite frankly, most times they are a risk to themselves.

This Festus Keyamo is such an odious character. Arrogantly glib, shamelessly lying bastard.

cyril10:
You guys have taken the profile of the younger brother of Wale Tinubu of Oando to be the profile of the dead son of Bola Tinubu, both of them bear the same Jide Tinubu. Always do a proper research before posting.

I just dey laugh. The Jide Jagabandit's son was, well, let us respect the dead. If not.

Apart from some corrupt elite who directly benefit from him financially or politically, and many tribalistic Yorubas here and there who prefer to cut their nose to spite their face, I simply can't see how any normal Nigerian can support an odious, dubious, discredited and uninspiring character like Tinubu. Make it make sense please. A man who isn't even articulate or charismatic. Let's not talk about his apparent drug addicted and age/health problems.

A clumsy, power drunk misfit who can't win over the regular neutral with his charm or message. What exactly is his non-bribery dependent or non-rigging dependent electoral value outside tribalistic Yoruba voters? Can somebody tell me?

Incredible stuff. Especially when you consider that he isn't paying/bribing/compromising anyone to do any of this.

braveboi4life:
Any one whose sees nothing wrong in M/M ticket is ungodly.

I careless if Muslims vote APC, but it would be stupid of any Christian to vote APC

Most Yoruba Christians are supporting their 'brother' Tinubu. I have paid attention to their body language, soundbite and even pretensions. I now know that tribalism is a cancer in Nigeria, and even religion isn't strong enough to neutralise or act as an antedote this cancer. I have deliberately and 'trickishly' goaded many supposedly well educated and highly enlightened Yoruba associates of mine, including Muslim and Christian Yorubas. Most of them ultimately betray their inner, vulgar, almost animalistic tribalists by citing one funny reason or the other why their Tinubu may not be such a bad idea to be Nigeria's president. Disappointment can't describe what I feel whenever each new one shows their hand in this matter. Mind you, I don't even talk about Obi... I purport to prefer Atiku as the lesser evil, but almost zero 'Christian' Yoruba that I test even consider Obi, talk less of Atiku. They will whine their oily mouths left and right to sha rationalise a Tinubu prospect.

The country is cursed. But God would CERTAINLY intervene to ensure that this divisive, incomparably corrupt, desperate, and evil element of the called Tinubu wouldn't become president.

Impracticable, because that would enable these useless governors and state government hunchos to go an irresponsible employment spree to add to the already overbloated workforces.

Just prevent illiterates from participating in the electoral process. Minimum of WAEC holders. That would solve much of the problem.

We can't keep leaving the power to decide our direction as a country in the hands of rustic rural dwellers, almajiri elements, and other uneducated and unenlightened people.
