what are the criteria for becoming president of nigeria that folks like Soludo and Umahi have in abundance?

who are the "we" that want the contribution of Igbos at the centre?

are Igbos not already contributing at the centre?

what is kind of contribution are you talking about here?

from the way tinubu who is in offie answers questions, how smart is he?

Nice questions!
1. The criterion for presidency is laughable tbh if Buhari could become a president then anybody could be a president but talking of competence Soludo haven’t been a CBN governor and I have watched him so many times same with Umahi.. I like thier can do attitude. Politics aside this 2 in my opinion carries the spirit of Igbo but we play politics a lot.

2. Politics is a game of interest and diverse one at that. Despite me speaking for myself, I know some people share same opinion so those are the we.

3. I said I want Igbo at the center not just contributing. They are the only major tribe yet to be at the center. Every tribe has thier uniqueness and so thier drive, resilience might be what’s lacking. I support an Igbo presidency all day.

4. The contribution I was talking about in a simple language is a competent Igbo man calling the shots not Yes Daddy type of thing. A stubborn yet industrious like the 2 names I mentioned.

5. Tinubu is smart to me. If he was not how was he able to be a president against all odds? It’s a show of smartness

All them this one no know wetin dem dey talk about. Just want engagement

HighQue007:
He shouldn’t and I don’t need him to. He is contesting as a public officer so it’s normal and he will be on his knees to have vote.. Ignorance dey worry you..Dey play

DuttyChuks:
bitter soul, Obi doesn't know your existence. .

He doesn’t and I don’t need him to. He is contesting as a public officer so it’s normal..

Not a fan of the Senate President but the Natasha woman is a serial blackmailer. needs to learn her lesson

Lol

If it only happens in Nigeria. Na because of Tinubu

Let’s agree is the school they wish they would attend but never happened. If you can’t materialize real life not bad doing that on Facebook. Don’t take it too seriously

Where Oluwo of Iwo?

That Igbo smoker

He dey benefit from wetin no concern am

onuman:
Obidients are the most enlightened folks in Nigeria. You other lot are ethnoreligious bigots.

Lol

Over ambitious was what brought them together and it’s what tearing them apart. Every politician so far you are a Nigerian is greedy af

small office dem don steal.

Small lion

Lol

Idians bad pass us. canada, uk or usa..Naija dey learn. they no dey like to follow rules

Average9jaman:
He's making correct sense,

So, to you, is it that the damage of the politicians is not permanent?

The mismanagement and loans that the politicians have taken, that even our children's children wil still b paying, wil it have no impact on their chances in life and, the way even the younger generation will project Nigeria to the world

And you think bad mouthing and demarketing will make your country better. 😂
Rather than ranking and shouting online the best thing to do is to engage in government. No nation is perfect. Politicians won’t go away. Since you think you are lightened why not get involve in the politics and make your mark instead of ranting helplessly. It’s a big own goal if you demarket your country because of politicians. This would go another would come and you will still continue. Think about it

KevMitnick:
No I'm making a lot of sense but it's either you are unable to understand or you deliberately refuse to understand because you know deep within you that I am saying the truth.
What I say about Nigeria doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but what foreign news stations carry about the country speaks volumes and carries more weight. When the former British PM said Nigeria was fantastically corrupt, was he badmouthing the country? or he knew what his eyes had seen.
You can choose to deceive yourself on the country's situation doesn't change the reality on ground.

No nation is perfect. Every society have their ills and ours are being used to demarket ourselves. Lagos is more safer than London as at today. Phone jacking, knife crime, luxury wristwatch snatching so common and frequent but you never hear them bad mouthing their police while it is a big pandemic.
No one is fooling anyone it’s just a matter of painting a good picture of where you come from. Foreigners don’t need to come to Nigeria before they profile you. So that is my point

KevMitnick:
Nobody demarkets their country more than the leaders that implement bad policies that affect every fiber of the economy negatively. It doesn't matter who the leader is, his or her policies will create a good or bad image for the country.

You think the world is not watching?

Do you think investors don't know what a bad business environment looks or feels like?

You think the companies that have folded up due to harsh economic conditions will have anything good to say about doing business in the country?...lol.

The family man that cannot afford basic things for his family despite his wages, should sing the praises of the country and it's leaders right?

The man or woman who spent days or months in the den of kidnappers should praise the security situation of the country right?

Nobody is demarketing the country, they are saying things the way they really are.

You guys can continue being delusional oh, nobody is holding you, but you have absolutely no right to castigate other people for expressing themselves due to their current reality.

You are not making sense.
Politicians are just there for the temporary time but the damage of bad mouthing is permanent and you will be crying Nigerians are being profiled everywhere in the world.

Nigeria is a wonderful place and you are about to witness her greatness. The headquarter of Afrobeat is about to take the world by storm. Watch every December become Pilgrimage for big spenders. E just dey start no worry

If he like make he go see Jesus. no presidency for this fraud. Gbajue, yes daddy

Nobody is advising these people about overdoing. e get as you go criticise reach e no go hold water again. He has to be critical with his criticism instead of just jumping on anything. Obi self don dey lose his critism power cos he jumps on everything.

The media chats was articulate and consice. he might not have touched everything but he did fantastically well considering he answered all question without reading from paper like the Agulu fraud. He shows he is sound and knows what he is doing.

No politician wey dem born wey fit chest wetin bulaba don chest. Na man he be. plus he now has Ruby Ruby to handle the uncout Oseni....

The old sharing formula supports insurgency, over population with no clear cut for innovation. A lot of the critics doesn’t have problem with the reform itself but the timing, consultation which I see as insulting.
There is no better time than now. Anybody standing on the way of this reform is against development. I love Tinubu for being stubborn and adamant. That is the kind of leadership we want. Fearless, ambitious and innovative leaders not all these ‘make e no spoil for my head’ politicians.

If the bill is Anti North as they claim then the north had been sitting on the progress of Nigeria and time to stand up.

India just launched a rocket, and countries of our size are innovating and creating things while Nigeria has done nothing and has no impact on humanity just because of our quality of education. we have one of the cheapest education in the world and in today's world education is not cheap. leaving our tertiary education to the government for funding will only lead to more ASUU strikes and absolute 0 innovation. even the government doesn't trust our education system they would rather import experts while we go to school just for the papers. we need a shift really.

Wike is a full bred politician, hate him or love him you want him on your side never as an opponent.

The president is doing the hard job. He is daring and courageous and that will go a long way. We should be glad we have a president like this at this moment.
How do you run an economy where 90% of revenue is used to service debt and the debt is used for subsidizing dollars and crude oil.
We have been living in denials. Reality don set in. Nigeria will be great again. I believe in the people, I believe in Tinubu.

EFCC is more corrupt than any organization in Nigeria.

The unlawful raids, lawlessness, collecting money to drop charges all of thier operations are corrupt from the Chairman to the cadet let’s not lie to ourselves.

The sole reason for EFCC is to intimidate yahoo boys. Even the yahoo boys they loot thier property, intimidate them and all. One day End EFCC would come when the oppression is too much

Necessary for Lagos is a no man’s land people

Ifatobi:
The great tinubulation

Automated machine.

You never even read Wetin OP write 😂

Safe to say u all have been cursed

It is about perspective and I respect it might be incoherent to you and that is fine. However, like I said, it is about owing up as adults and taking responsibility. Even if Tinubu men is responsible for distabilizing other party which is still speculations after all, they are responsible for whatever is happening in their party. Apapa issue is far gone, what about Abure issue? i understand you deliberately omitted that to suit your narrative and that is also fine. Other than party issue, they have problem with being over ambitious and that is obvious and that is getting on thier way to becoming a president.
Problems with all you Pro Obi is that you think he is the almighty in todays politics but you don’t know he being used as a pawn. He is not who you think he is. Till today I still don’t believe Tinubu is not behind him to dis stabilize the political terrain to his favor and if he doesn’t have anything to do with Tinubu then he is definitely a pawn without knowing.
Despite calling my response inchoherent you still attested to the fact that Kwankwaso refused to be Obi’s vice which was exactly what I said but you think every response is an attack on your Obi. You all will learn as usual
That the northerners regret voting him or whatever is too early to conclude that. This is Nigerian politics I reckon you have forgotten. Time will tell 😁 and It doesn’t care about your emotions.

My view!

IfnobeGod20:
Incoherent response. What is the correlation between your comment and what the guy said at saving the soul of opposition. Please is Kwakwanso and Obi in the same party? Did ACN not faced the same plight in 2011, when they wanted a merger to go into presidential election and it didn't worked out? Please, was it not the same thing that happened in 2022, as Kwakwanso did not agreed to be VP to Obi , as he sees himself too big to be VP to Obi. The question now is Kwakwanso not yarning to be his VP today.
What you brought into the conversion wasn't the meat of what was causing disaffection in each opposition party, get your fact right. If you want to eulogize Tinubu great another thread for him and do it well but not to come and jam issue together here.
Besides, Tinubu was handed the ticket because they thought he was the best to represent their interests down south and that was orchestrated by the northern governors but today are they not regretting their action that brought him in? Tinubu only played them to gain power but we shall see in the next election, how he will be able to play them again with his woeful performance and neglect of them up north.
Instead of you to own up to the reality. It is a well known fact that Tinubu's foot soldiers are really destabilising opposition parties. Wike is the arrowhead for PDP. Apapa is the arrowhead for LP and Arambabi. Because I don't know how a reasonable person will be antagonizing his own party and making it not biting the way it suppose to be. Can APC tolerate that?

Zackattack:
Tinubu is the one disrupting the peace in these parties. Wike is his instrument in PDP and that Apapa animal is doing his own in LP.
Tinubu is very smart, I give him that; but like the devil, the endgame of his smartness is always for evil.
I only pity the ones he fools to think that he’s out for their best interest.

True or not, it does make sense for adult to take responsibility. Is Tinubu behind Abure too ? Is Tinubu behind Kwankwaso and Obi not agreeing who to be vice or president ? Tinubu was in their shoes during Buhari time and as a strategist he sacrificed his ambition at the time which none of these greedy politicians can’t do now. All of them are opportunists and greedy af.
They handed Tinubu presidency cos of these. He will do it again. He is taking advantage of thier weakness
