Criticize Tinubu from now till they Kingdom come, that doesn't erase the fact that you're a failure in politics. It is not a must you must be president, you lack national appeal both in the north and the south and you think you can become the president. If truly you want to make a change, start as a councillor, local government chairman or at worst house of rep member and let's see your impact. If you can mobilize people in your senatorial district to vote for you and win and you can give those senators wotowoto by exposing them and their atrocities, that's when people will know you're actually fighting for them. However, this name calling and using derogatory names on the president of your country as if you're not cultured is what I don't subscribe to. You're free to criticize the office of the president and his policies but calling him useless is uncalled for and no one in his right senses will support you on this.

This isn’t about Jonathan the man, it’s about what Tinubu and his gang did to the entire Southern region in 2015. When it was time for the South to complete a fair 8-year term, Tinubu sold out, handing power to the North just to feed his own ambition. Where was your “Southern solidarity” then?

Now that it’s convenient, you’re all preaching unity and dragging Jonathan into it as a smokescreen. Be serious. The same man you used as a ladder to climb is now your scapegoat?

Southern Nigeria isn’t stupid, and south south haven't forgotten. Don’t try to rewrite history just because your side is now feeling the heat. Karma is real and it’s serving receipts.

As for me, I will always prefer manual auto over automatic. I know some of us will say it's for poor but no. You are economical, you will understand why manual is ahead of Automatic

Why Manual transmission can be considered better than automatic in certain situations due to the following reasons:

1. Better Control

Manual gives the driver full control over gear selection, which can be helpful in tough driving conditions like: Hilly terrain, Slippery roads, Off-road environments

2. Fuel Efficiency

Manuals often get better gas mileage (especially in older or budget cars) because they don’t have the added weight or energy loss of automatic components.

3. Lower Cost

Cheaper to buy: Manual cars usually cost less upfront. Also it's Cheaper to maintain: Manual transmissions are mechanically simpler and often less expensive to repair or replace than automatics.

4. Better Performance

Enthusiasts often prefer manuals because, They allow quicker acceleration (in some cases). Also, They offer a more “connected” and responsive driving experience.

5. Less Theft Risk

In some regions, fewer people know how to drive manual, which can make manual cars less attractive to thieves. My view anyway

6. Longer Lifespan

A well-maintained manual transmission can last longer than an automatic, especially older automatics that are prone to early failure.

I believe Automatics are easier to drive, especially in heavy traffic or for beginners.

So great Nairaland, what's your options?

Good afternoon Nairalanders,

I was driving yesterday afternoon, when I was stopped by the police, they inspected my papers and noticed that I bought my car at a car stand "used" so they asked me for a document named "authority to sell" I was surprised because I haven't ever had of that before, even though this Is my 4th car. They then proceeded to ask me for agreement paper between the first owner and the previous owner that sold to me. Which I don't have, but I have every other documents from the immediate owner, and have none from the very first owner, except the motor receipt, that they used to buy the motor from car stand.

They took my car to the station, and demanded 400k, I pleaded with them for almost an hour until they accepted 80,000. They told me they need cash, I withdrew the money and gave them the cash.

When I got out of the station I confided with a friend and narrated everything to him as it happened and asked him for help In other to avoid such a scenario from happening again.

He told me that, the paper that I wrote and signed on the car stand before leaving with the car, on the day I bought the car "aggremenr paper" was what led them asking for the "authority to sell" paper. He told me that nevertheless, they have no business asking me for the agreement paper between the old, and immediate seller that sold to me and the other previous owner.

He then advised me to go and re_do another agreement paper, the ones they normally type with old type writer, and take it to who sold the car to me to sign, so that when next they see me they won't ask me for authority to sell, as my agreement papers won't indicate that I bought the car from a car stand "used" but it would seem like I bought the car directly from a regular user.

I did as he told me but I'm still worried, as they would still stop me to take more money from me in the future because I don't have the agreement paper between the immediate previous owner and the former owner that sold to him. They're always fond of asking for such, all my previous cars I have the aggrement papers of previous owners to current owners that sold to me, please I need advice on how to go about this agreement papers, I have gone to the car stand severely and they gave me the contact of whom they bought the vehicle from before selling to me, I called and he told me that he had traveled out, I need help please, help me.

Would an affidavit of "loss of agreement paper from who sold to me directly and the first user solve this issue? Please help I'm so worried.

Below is the 80,000 I withdrew and used in settling the police yest afternoon, I paid 2800 as charges to the POS girl.

What exactly was Bayo Onanuga expecting?

These people felt sidelined.

1. The aviation minister under Buhari started the ill-fated Nigerian air that only took off on roadshows. EFCC is on him.

2. The former AGF was invited by EFCC in 2023. He is in the coalition.

3. A former senior airforce under Buhari personnel lost elections in Bauchi; he is in the coalition.

4. One woman was appointed into NDDC and also as a commissioner in INEC by Buhari. She was rejected by the people. She is with the coalition.

5. One sports minister under Buhari was so irresponsible that Buhari never brought him back. He became a critic of Buhari and is speaking for the coalition.

6. One former governor referred to as "the butcher" and Buhari himself called him "bulldozer" for bulldozing the buildings of political opponents. He was begged to stay behind and work for Tinubu. He was screened as minister and was dropped. Today, he said he wants to remove the "evil" he helped bring. Please, why did he want to serve under evil? Why should he be trusted that he won't bring another evil since masterminding evil is his forte?

7. There was a transport minister under Buhari who undermined his southsouth zone by refusing to build a university (Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko) in the zone, but built a university of transportation in Daura in a disturbing display of sycophancy to ingratiate himself to Buhari and the northern oligarchy. It was Ibe Kachikwu who said every project that concerned the southsouth zone must be prioritized. Ibe Kachikwu publicly said if the ministry of transportation could not take the university project to benefit the southsouth people, the ministry of petroleum would take it. Udoma Udo Udoma who was minister of Niger Delta Affairs was smiling as Kachikwu spoke.

Many of those going to the coalition from Buhari's camp actively undermined Buhari. Recall that Buhari had expressed pain that some of his achievements were not reported by those he appointed and he didn't know why. Recall also that Garba Shehu was reported to have shut down the WhatsApp group of Buhari's communications alumni when some of Buhari's appointees were promoting materials to undermine Tinubu.

All those from Buhari's camp going to coalition lost out in the political game of 2023. They need visibility and relevance. They do not mean well for the country. They had their chances. The results are there to see.

So let’s get this straight: the same Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration Tinubu and his apologists have blamed for every economic rot, from the free-falling naira to the unmanageable debt profile, is now the one “congratulating” Tinubu for two years of what exactly? Institutionalized hardship?

This is not a statesman’s speech. This is a well-crafted quid pro quo, a mutual back-patting between two power brokers desperately sanitizing their legacies while Nigeria hemorrhages.

Tinubu rose on the back of blaming Buhari for the mess, subsidy fraud, forex collapse, hunger, debt, insecurity, yet here is Buhari, giving Tinubu a public vote of confidence as though their economic blueprints weren’t copy-pasted.

And let’s not kid ourselves with the “continuous journey” metaphor. This is not a relay of reforms; it’s a baton of blunders passed from one unaccountable regime to another. What we’re witnessing is a glorified military-style transition in civilian garb, where the last general hands over to the next and they both gaslight the masses with speeches of “hope” while tightening the same noose around the country’s neck.

“Don’t let reforms be a victim of domestic politics,” Buhari warns? Translation: Don’t hold us accountable, just endure in silence. No, sir. The only way this damage arc is going to be dissected honestly is when another political party, not beholden to either of your legacies, steps in to run a full diagnostic on the Buhari-Tinubu years.

Inter-party congratulations mean NOTHING to Nigerians being crushed under 40% food inflation, N1,590/$ exchange rate, and $21.5 billion borrowing sprees. This is elite collusion wrapped in velvet rhetoric.

Until a truly independent government pulls back the curtain on both your tenures, your “wisdom and care” line is just lipstick on a crisis.

Though I have no personal issue with Traore but the propaganda is not making any sense .

The Burkina Faso people have different story to tell apart from the online propaganda

DomPerignon:
Pls go to Rivers and start a protest against the SOE adminstration.

It's your democratic right to protest .

madridguy:
So Tinubu should fold his arms allowing the governor and assembly members turning a whole state into a banana republic? Then later blame the same president of not been proactive?

A sitting governor saying he will tell his boys when to enter? They are blowing the pipelines already. The level of indiscipline Baba Buhari tolerated so people won't call him dictator won't repeat itself.

Obaseki committed alot of atrocities because Baba Buhari looked away, denied members of assemblies their constitutional rights to serve their people and he got away with it.

Now the Presidency have checked Gov. Fubara and also clip the wings of Gov. Adeleke, I think any governors trying to turn lord over state assemblies or local government chairmen will have a rethink.

IsellSmartTvs:
Politically,that’s the right move from the President
As the GCON,he has the right to interfere in a state where the government hasn’t been able to take control of its constituents or constituency.
But as a country filled with diversity,we will always bring moral sentiments to whatever judgement a current administration commands.

It’s easier to cut out a rotten finger than cutting off the whole hand

When he becomes president? I wish him well.

But then how does fasting affect schooling. Minors are not supposed to fast in the first place.

I need clarity on this.

It’s Not Too Late To Punish Babangida For June 12 Election Annulment, Other Crimes—Even If It’s One Day Before His Death –Sowore
I never really admired Sowore till today. Walhai, he really spoke my mind. But Sowore, don’t feel that he will not one day bring to book. Ofcouse it may not be but the hereafter. I remember crying my eyes out over that annulment. Though truth be told, Abiola himself, apart from his philanthropic efforts here and there was not the messiah that would have transformed the country but atleast his mandate would have deepened our democratic history. That annulment with the coup of 1966 compound our country development.
