Both Makinde and Kwankwanso would deliberately misled the opposition. I really don't understand why they can't just read the body language of those 2

While I condemn the xenophobic attacks on foreigners, I will want to tell our chest beating brothers too to abide by rules of places they reside in and stop all the crime they get themselves involved with.
If you have not been out of Nigeria, you would say our brothers are innocent of all the allegations.
I have been out of Nigeria, in fact I am presently outside Nigeria. Our chest beating brothers are involved in shaddy businesses which is the root cause of hatred towards Nigerians.

I witnessed it live in 2010 when I travelled to SA.
Majority are into selling drugs and 419 deals. This is a fact.

That apart, when this people make the illegal money, they dont stay quiet. They are loud and they brag about wealth all the time.

Imagine making dirty money and you cant keep your head low.

The same bragging brought the act of installation of a KING in another person's country.

Like I told some guys, there is no KING without a kingdom. The word Kingdom was derived from the word King.

Now, are you saying you are creating a KINGDOM in a foreign land?
Who does that?

Why cant our guys keep their heads low and live life without making noise?

That singular act started all these attacks on Nigerians and other foreign citizens who are innocent and law abiding.

Let us talk to ourselves too.

What the South Africans are doing is evil. But some people have involved themselves in evil acts before the animalistic side of the South African came out.

SAD.

Bro, this is not about abiding by the South Africa Rules. I have been there before. I am not trying to be disrespectful, but South Africans are Lazy most especially their men. If they secured a decent job, chilling and flexing will eventually take the job from them.

A serious minded business owner wouldn't want to employ someone that will be coming to work 3 times in a week when the immigrants are ready to do 7 days work without minding being pay less.

Those who are leading the anti immigrants protest, how many jobs have they created themselves? Would any productive person leave his own job to be chasing the other African fellows who fought for your own freedom.

2 years ago on this forum, when I said the likes of South Africa are using old glory as nothing new in terms of development is going on there, people don't understand.The current development structure in South Africa was laid down by the whites during the apartheid, which development plans have the black South African made or created?

South Africa currently, which sectors can the South Africans generally point out to that's working perfectly in their country? They are just channeling their energy on wrong people.

Who are the alternatives to the current government, Malema, Zuma and co . Their long way to go is far than Kuvuki land

SadiqBabaSani:
When did Tinubu supporter suddenly love Atiku, since Obi starting famzin Kwankwaso? Seems the Atiku on the ballot is not what you fear most, you are Banking on RMK refusing to support deputize Obi, because once that happens it will be a massive problem for you APC Bandits of poverty and pain

I don't need to love them at the same time hate them. I don't play bitter politics.

On this same ADC crisis, I know how many suggestions I have made on how the opposition should get their act right.

You people in the Obidients camp decided to be adding to the flame by attacking Atiku for no meaningful reason. Did anyone force Peter Obi to join ADC? Did Atiku sign any agreement with Obi which assured him to be the flagbearer of ADC after joining?

Atiku as a serious presidential candidate left Pdp and negotiate with those in ADC as the new party, why can't Obi do same and negotiate with other party to retry his luck?

You can see from the thread below which I advised the opposition to put their house in order. Show me one single thread you have created on how the people in ADC can solve their party issue as one of their direct or indirect supporter

If I catch that Adelabu heh, make I just reserved the rest of what I could do

SadiqBabaSani:
Farouq has always been an Atiku Pen for hire.

Dear Farouq We respect your writing prowess but Alh. Atiku is not the one we clamour for, you can't seek equity and still be pushing for an Atiku from the Northern region to succeed Tinubu after just 4yrs of Southern Rule

Make una dey read and comprehend before emotionally dropping your epistle. Atiku was lumped together with the opposition in Farooq's epistle

You deliberately chose to pick out Atiku while ignoring other opposition leaders affected with this

Both the opposition leaders and their supporters, just ask them for solutions for any of what they have been condemning and see them speaking in tongues.

Why did they think Buhari win his reelection, was it by performance or because there was no alternative.

The current crops of opposition showing interest in the position of president of Nigeria are not close to better alternative to president Tinubu

It's mostly due to conflict of interest. Guys have no issue how you treat other ladies, they can even be advising them but their own sisters, please don't mess close

WizardOfNG:
Correct talk. Dude is talking like those people who are very covetous and have not being able to develope anything remotely close to Lagos since independence yet daily insist their own , one yeye architect or whatever with no leadership track record, should lead Lagos for sake of "change" and to remove "Tinubu control".

What on earth disqualifies Hamzat and who else exactly should be favoured ahead of him? The fraud GRV?

@ bolded should have been his major arguments.

I listed my issue with Yayi which none of his supporters was able to defend, nothing personal about it, I have no candidate nor have interest in Ogun election in 2027 but I just want the best for the state.

I have moved on from Yayi's discussion as I am satisfied with the issue raised which are genuine, would that have effects with the governance, I can't be sure.

What are you waiting for..Expose him irresponsible wife

These ones no know than bringing themselves down to the roforofo all in the name of politics

If they can be addressing themselves like this, why should you be surprised about how they address others?

Willy2025:
The reality is now staring you people in the face. No reasonable southerner should have anything to do with Atiku Democratic Congress in the first place. That's why I said that Obi made a big mistake leaving the Labour Party

Abi, Atiku that has been contesting since how many years left Pdp and move to ADC, the Southerners like Obi that joined him, what were they expecting before joining, make monkey dey work for baboon?

WizardOfNG:
Even his talk of Lagos is myopic and unwise. Everyone knows the coded reality of Nigeria whereby 'one Nigeria' is anything but that.

Get the leadership of Lagos wrong, doing yeye democracy the system isnt ready for, and that will open the door to rapacious and covetous enemies-within, with parochial agendas, messing up Lagos for good.

I shudder thinking of a character like GRV becoming Lagos Governor. God forbid.

Abi, in my case, I have issue with Yayi but not with Yewa people, I have issue with Adelabu and reasonable of those showing face as Guber aspirants in Oyo state but my issue never get to Oyo people. Infact, I have issue with both OGD and DA representing their senatorial district but not with my Ogun East people

We all want the best for our respective states but we should be sensitive in discussing it without disrespecting others that shouldn't have been involved

Funnily, this should be my first response to the Xenophobic attacks going on in South Africa for quite some time now

I just deliberately not put mouth because severally on this forum, I talked about how the South Africans are getting carried away by not controlling their emotions towards other African people. Even when you are engaging with some of them on this forum, they have this tone of being disrespectful while at the same time lack comprehension in discussing issue

Since after Apartheid government was sent packing in SA, can the blacks who have been ruling the country point out to major achievements they have done to develop South Africa or South Africans? or how many jobs opportunity they have created?

South Africa supposed to even be a visa free to reasonable number of Africa countries due to the role they played during apartheid regime. They claimed immigrants are taking their jobs, which jobs have they South Africans created for themselves? 70% of South Africa wealth is being controlled by less than 10% white South Africans, infact there are some areas in SA that blacks are not allowed to enter.

Mandela Tax was introduced in Nigeria, I mean Nigerians are being taxed in order to raise funds for the politicians in South Africa to fight the white regime, Ghanaians school children from primary to secondary to tertiary went on protest in support of the same black South Africans.

Tanzania, Angola, Zimbabwe all sacrificed a lot for sacking the apartheid government.

Should we say some South Africans have a short memory or they are just ungrateful for treating those who stood by them during trying time. Without their input, the apartheid government would have ruled for reasonable years.

WizardOfNG:
Abi OO. OP is hard to work out. One of those who does not understand the adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Nigeria is a complex and abnormal nation hosting ethnic groups who view themselves adversaries with some constantly seeking to use insidious expansionism to penetrate the homeland and interest of others.

Lagos politics, that throws up her Governor, is simply pragmatic, dynamic and ameoba-like with shape adjusting to fit reality on ground.


Incoherent experimentation, championed by those who seek change for the sake of that alone, is why some States are messed up, failed and even terrorised in Nigeria today while Lagos keeps moving in the right direction yeat in and year out.

My issue with the op is trying to disrespect other states with his epistle. He should face Lagos state that he's having issue with and leave other states irrespective of the region

Why are they trying to blackmail Atiku when we are in a democracy in Nigeria

Did Atiku put rope on people's neck forcing them to join ADC?

There can't be a smoke without fire🔥

You don dey carry your Sara pass moshalashi with unnecessary attack thread's on Lagos state

WhizdomXX:
Well for starters, You called his write-up an epistle.

So epistle is now an attack or insult bah?

ezegenigbonine:
I pray everton will not open nyash for man city. My only confidence is that Monday match is always fixed, so anything can happen, everton might surprise us by beating or drawing them.

Arsenal winning this game convincingly will put more pressure on city with the goal difference specifically.

City have 3 matches within 10 days including Fa cup against Chelsea. They would have to consider their priority

Arsenal 3 - 0 Fulham

+ 6 points Lead
+ 4 goals

Goals difference could be crucial to decide the league winner this season

The cut back from Trosssard to Gykores was very clever

Common sense should have instructed you to withdraw the petitions at the Court

I would rather prefer to be discussing politics than going into it. You have 2 people to fight

The opposition which you are contesting against with because if you are not careful, your life might be in danger

The people you are representing or governing. Assuming you are a governor and you want to create extension to roads where there are always traffic, you can't do extension without demolishing, now imagine reasonable of the houses don't have the right documents for compensation, your explanation will long gan

Some prominent leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have endorsed the senator representing Oyo South senatorial district

Perhaps, people from his senatorial district

Any business or deal that will make you or others vulnerable physically, it doesn't worth doing. There is no justification for the nonsense those kidnappers are saying.

I was almost robbed just on Thursday. So I decided to take a walk, there is a train track not too far from me, I normally hear the train passing. So taking a walk on the lonely train track with bushes around is always refreshing.

It's over a year I have been taking my one or 2 times a walk in a week which the whole walk is less than an hour to and fro. So I saw 3 guys ahead of me, my initial thoughts was they are smoking, but when I moved closer, I couldn't perceived any smell, as I was just at where they sat, I noticed one of them had this cheapish smiles but I didn't read a thing.

The guy stood up and move closer to me, before I knew it, he already hold my trouser, then the likely boss block me from the front. I initially thought they were police because robbery at somewhere I have been passing for over a year, around 3 pm for that matter, but when I looked at them properly ( instant brain processing) , I was like , those are robbers.

I was very calm( Street OT) , gave them this wicked smile, Sorry you can't get anything from me apart from my house key, my instincts told me to drop my phone at home even though, 90% of the time I have passed through the same track, I am always with my phone.

I was left alone without being rough handled as I didn't struggle with them.

fergie001:
It is relevant .
Kachikwu is still in Court
Kachikwu backed the State Chairmen that got a favourable judgement this week.

It is politics......simple!
That's how it's played.... morally not good but it is what it is.

But we didn't hear about ADC internal party issue before the likes of Atiku joined. There is no political party without one or 2 internal crisis but they manage it within themselves..

If Atiku who is claiming to be aspiring to be Nigeria president, same as Obi can't manage ordinary internal crisis in a small party like ADC, how on this crust can they manage the complicated Nigeria and Nigerians . What even pursued them from their previous more popular party than ADC?

The genesis of this recent dragging is those who lately joined ADC couldn't manage the already internal issue and still created their own to complicate issue

fergie001:
That's not the genesis.

Ralph Nwosu formed the ADC in 2005 and has been National Chairman. After Kachikiwu defeated Moghalu much to the consternation of everyone, there were issues so in late 2022, Justice Binta Nyako of the FHC sacked Nwosu and his team, that their tenure had expired.

However, after the 2023 Presidential election, the Appeal Court voided that decision that leadership disputes are out of bounds for the Courts. Nwosu returned held a Convention and expelled Kachikiwu, that matter has been in the Supreme Court since Jan 2024.

To this now, Mark & co were pre-coronated on July 2, and the NEC held.... Bala was present and signed the attendance register. He can't win the Court case for anything but politically I think it is bad for Babachir Lawal & ADC.

You call Atiku people.... Babachir is answerable to nobody, including Atiku. Even in the present Adamawa ADC leadership, Atiku was given 10%, Binani & Babachir 25 or 30% each, can't remember. Atiku even said he doesn't want, that they should share amongst themselves. Babachir hijacked all, the reason Binani left. That grasscutter man is a menace!

Your analysis is about pre Atiku in ADC, I am not interested in that as it won't be relevant why the back and forth court arguments. I have adjusted the topic.

Why should Bala be stripped from his position without any renegotiation from the Atiku's camp and they expected him to let go like that

For him to have accepted a lower position from the National position, the Atiku's camp shouldn't have treated Bala's that way. Someone holding deputy national position, after stripping him to Deputy regional position, you then realized he's not old enough in politics. Like seriously

BluntCrazeMan:
Even though politicians are well known for telling lies back-to-back, Bala going to court was not the best option for him.
But since he is already in court, only a highly respected elder statesman can call him back to the negotiation table, and urge him to withdraw the case from the court

The question is, should Bala have been stripped from his old and new position without any renegotiation and expect him to let go like that. Those who broke the agreement could have considered the consequences of their own selfish decisions

I am not actually a fan of boxing from growing up. I can't be watching what supposed to be entertaining and people injury themselves, same as wrestling

That's too cruel

EponObi:
If Adolf Hitler partners with their demagogue today, he will become the best thing after jollof rice. All because of some presidential ambition with no pathway to victory.

Kwankwaso no is no longer a Sharia leader.

Atiku and his co-travellers were no longer structure of criminality. They befriended Dino, Bala Mohamed, David Mark, Aregbe for the same delusional cause. They almost befriended Wike, who later became a 40-year old whisker drinker - according to them.

Soon, they will switch on Atiku and other top ADC chieftains, now that ADC no longer serve their ambition. The same fate await Kwankwaso if that OK proposal fails.

For Kwankwaso, I just dey look that one with side eye. I'm still failing to believe he will make the move it is being rumoured he will make soon.

Bro, do you really believe Kwankwanso can vice Obi? How?

Is it about Political sagacity, bridge extending building, achievements as governors for 8 years, empowerment and generosity, where do you want to place Obi near Kwankwanso is?

Before the likes of Atiku joined ADC, Nafiu Bala was the National deputy chairman, when Atiku came with his own people to take over the party, they initially negotiated with all those who are currently holding the party position and reshuffling their position or compensate them

Bala in particular was promised Deputy Chairman of ADC in North East. It didn't take ( Atiku's camp ) before shifting the same position to Babachir who is the current Deputy Chairman of ADC in North East. They never had their Congress at all.That was the genesis of ADC internal party issue.

If you are in Bala's position, what would you have done after they initially stripped you from the position you have been enjoying before them, promised you with another lower position and still eventually left you with nothing

BluntCrazeMan:
You want me to laugh now?

In politics, you do whatever you have to do.
(You cannot entirely rule-out some possibilities, or pay blind eye to some elements).

They could have considered the emotions of their supporters as they fed them wrong information about the party crisis.

You see before the likes of Atiku joined ADC, Nafiu Bala was the National deputy chairman, when Atiku came with his own people to take over the party, they initially negotiated with all those who are currently holding the party position and reshuffling their position or compensate them

Bala in particular was promised Deputy Chairman of ADC in North East, before they even had their congress, they already shifted the same position to Babachir who is the current Deputy Chairman of ADC in North East. That was the genesis of ADC internal party issue.

If you are in Bala's position, what would you have done after they initially stripped you from the position you have been enjoying before them, promised you with another lower position and still eventually left you with nothing

I really don't understand why reasonable number of the opposition supporters can't engage others in at least 3 conversations without them being disrespectful

NL's abeg, where did I insult or disrespect the guy above me that made him to attack my personality for no reason? They just want. to blackmail you for only God knows why.

They are not interested in having any meaningful conversation as they always struggle to prove their own points.

One man down

DeLaRue:
I long figured out we are not at the same intellectual level, but that reason alone was not a reason not to exchange views with you.

However, your totally unwarranted rudeness in response to a civil comment is beyond the pale.

I will not be reading, or responding to any of your comments going forward.

You see, where in my comments did you see me attacking you, personality or even attack your comments.

You people can't engage others without being disrespectful..Make I quickly initiate blocking for you as me myself is not interested in engaging with your likes .
