If is by electoral population GEJ won't have won 2011 elections

We are talking about aspirants here, not flagbearers.

The electoral population of the SE will still fall short of delivering the candidacy to a united SE, not to talk of a disjointed one.

GEJ was incumbent, and from SS too...and with what I have deduced the majority of the political class in the land trust the SS with power far above the Igbos

SpatialKing:
Confusionist

South West does not have a consensus candidate: No problem

The North does not have a consensus candidate: No problem

South East does not have a consensus: Igbos are not united, Igbos are not loyal, Igbos don't love each other

The difference between the 3 regions you mentioned is that, while 2 have the electoral numbers to sway the election results in its favour, SE doesn't have that kinda luxury, they somehow have the smallest population of all regions, hence, the encouragement to pull resources together, present a candidate, and he will be seriously.

Joylove2324:
Osinbajo's loyalty to his boss will do the magic, plus he is the most competent among all the aspirants

On a good day he should be the one, but these people don't think that way. From all indicators points towards Osinbajo or Amaechi, but one can never trust these Fulani men in power.

Knowing that money politics work wonders in Nigeria, the son of man dey clinch to the surest man to buy the PDP ticket. And if that fails and PDP considers Obi, he will have a soft landing and return to the corridors of power.

Any which way, man must chop. Reno my guy, badt guy

Iku baba yeye!

RIP sir.

Omo, 52 years on the throne, this man too chop life.

Putin has grown from a coded killer to a brutal killer...he used to assassinate his perceived enemies with toxic agents...not he targets them through very brutal ways; making them watch their families suffer and die in front of them before killing them.

I am sure the Russian movers and shakers won't even dare plot against or speak ill of Putin even in their closet.
Such a terrifying leader

I don't get it, does it mean that being a party exco pays more than being a sin-ator? Because las las, nah the money dey drive our politicians for naija

haslaw:
Na the bigot backstabber cause uneccessary religious tension everywhere.

Hilarious...so because someone sees me fit to do some certain tasks, plainly because he knows I have the mental capability to do so, I shouldn't aim higher in life? That's some sick level of narrow mindedness.

Plus do you know the number of people Tinubu has backstabbed metaphorically and literally? So you ardent supporters of Tinubu have no moral grounds to complain.

See wetin Osinbajo cause

Misplaced priority

While we can blame the girl's mother for being negligent with the over all welfare of her children, we shouldn't shy away from the fact that world has grown beyond censoring what our kids are exposed to. Fine, we can censor it to the best of our ability, but won't the parents hustle in order to provide for the kids?

Back in the days as kids, our parents tried their best to keep us guided when they around, when they aren't, the fear they instilled in us ensures we still behaved decently in their absence. Spare the rod, spoil the child...parents are too soft on these kids these days.

All I can say is that instill highest level of discipline in your children, flog them when necessary, pray hard for them and let them cultivate the habit of participating in prayers and reading the Holy book. But the most important right now, is early sex education...as early as 10 if possible...trust me, no parent can monitor the kids we are raising now 100%. But this girl's mum failed woefully as a mother.

Except you are super rich, stay home to home school them...but at the end of the day, this too could be detrimental in the future.

Taccon:
Whoever said it's between the two that would clinch presidency. What pettiness. Ndigbo 2023 All the way !

Ndigbo doesn't seem to be ready yet...when they are, they will close ranks and sponsor one candidate each from both parties and support them with all they've got

Abeg make una just rest

People are just trying hard to create an irredeemable wedge between the duo. Las las, both of them will close ranks after the primaries

Well, I guess it is because this is an APC thing and that's their weakest zone. Plus the fact that the SE has the least number of States. And has the lowest population too. Plain and simple

This man just keeps rising...divine favour and hard work

franciskaine:
Osinbajo will clinch it by God's grace.

Amen!!!
But I am just stating the reality on ground.

Maobichek:
You are correct but show me a governor or president in Nigeria that didn't choose his successor? Obj brought Musa Ya dua, BAT brought Fashola, kwankwaso brought the current kano state governor.

PMB must accept and recommend anyone who will succeed him, bookmark this comment ok. Many factors shows that anyone that will be APC flagbearer come next year must be anointed by PMB. This is Nigeria ok.

Yeah, didn't read through my points? I am not saying Buhari can't do it, but it will be difficult, and probably break the party. Plus Buhari doesn't know how to negotiate these things, he always wants to use force without caring whose ox is gored. But the leaders you mentioned are more diplomatic...they use carrot and stick to make people fall in line. Buhari no send person papa.

For those who imposed without diplomacy, most often than not, their candidates fall short at the main election. Amosun is a typical example in 2019.

duality:
Go and research how 2014 APC primaries went and who did what. Do so with open mind

You'll know that he hasn't locked up anything.

But then, in politics, people state what they wish as fact.

You have someone who obviously the Governors whose State have large number of delegates in his corner and you doubt his potency to nick it? Issokay o. Me I don't deceive myself, I look at things with an open mind, hence, my submission. I am team Osinbajo, but I leave my sentiments aside when it comes to the reality. I really wish the reverse is the case, I really do wish

Fiscus105:
How? Oga nothing. I insist nothing will happen most especially if the candidate comes from south west.

Except that sha...that was why I mentioned earlier that if the party somehow sideline Tinubu and gives it Osinbajo, maybe Tinubu will just go with the flow. But should GEJ or Amaechi wins it, APC don break be that.

But something keeps telling Buhari and his people wants to purposely destroy APC, with the hope that Atiku wins the PDP ticket...meaning another 8 years for the North. Remember Atiku acted as the groom's father during Yusuf Buhari's wedding. I don't trust the North one but when it comes to power.

Fiscus105:
The way present Edo state gov screened out.

Hmm...that will be interesting, but would lead to the natural death of APC

Fiscus105:
And if they screen tinubu out?

Based on what ground do you think Tinubu can be screened out? Well, should that happen, the only thing that would make Tinubu calm down is if Osinbajo wins. Other than that, he will either strike a deal with the opposition or decamp to SDP to pursue his ambition.

I will always choose Osinbajo over Tinubu any day, anytime, but that doesn't mean the truth shouldn't be said. Without a firm endorsement from Buhari, there is no way Osinbajo can win the APC primaries. Out of the top people vying for the APC Presidential ticket, he's the only one with the weakest political base.

Tinubu seem to have locked down most of the delegates...unfortunately too, Tinubu can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Presidency financially to buy the delegates. Except the Presidency somehow successfully imposes a concensus candidate, Tinubu will be the party's flag bearer come 2023.

And going the concensus way means a guaranteed implosion.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of Nigerian parents erred in their duties to start educating their wards about sex early.

Whether we like it or not, it has become extremely difficult to prevent from getting exposed to adult contents these days. After all, we can't follow them everywhere they go. Their peers, relatives and neighbours could knowingly or unknowingly expose them to these things without the parents' noticing a thing.

At the age of 10 in advanced countries, as crazy as it might sound, parents have started educating their wards about the dangers of early sex, use condoms and after morning pills. They do these because they don't live in self denial; they know what the world has become and what their wards are exposed to when they aren't there. On the contrary, an average Nigerian parent feels a 10 years old is to young to be educated about sex. Those kids have teared eyes tey tey.

Obviously, that wasn't the first time for those kids...they looked pro.

If your kid dey boarding house, it is well o

As if they have a choice...when the dust raised by not allowing Ambode to run for second term is yet to settle within the Governors' forum

Recently jammed one online too, claiming how he is a she...how she makes at least 5k dollars on a pyramid scheme. She even sent me a screenshot proof and sent a link and password for me to open her account to confirm. The mumu actually thought I would open the link so that he can hack my phone.

Later I asked to have a voice call with her, she told me to give her some minutes, after a while, he made a video call...my instincts just told me not to pick...after 30 mins, I called back...he didn't pick...he said he was busy that we should make the call the following day. I repeated the same process again, and the same thing happened. He obviously was getting a lady ready to speak with me...but whenever my call went in, the lady was prolly not there. I just laid a curse on the lazy bone and blocked him

I so much miss pepper soup ehn...especially the ones made with cow tail

Malory:
Good decision. They have finally seen the light

A politician keep jumping from one party to the other, and people keep hailing him...In my own humble opinion, the main reasons why Nigeria is the way it is, is because of the individuals we have at the helms at all levels, not the party per say. We've seen PDP Governors perform, likewise those of APC...likewise, we have seen the worst of from both parties. Until people start seeing individuals instead of parties, we will continue to go round in circles. And the political class will continue to take us for a ride.

For example, Obaseki and Ortom have represented both parties, please tell me what changed for their people?

Be a man and show your face...I only see a chest beating coward behind a veil.

So people should stay home on Easter Monday? Well, for every monster we keep cheering on and allow to grow, it comes back to bite us in the butt. This was how Boko Haram and Niger Delta militants started...thank God NDM was managed with wisdom, but the North isn't so lucky with BH.

The Igbos are better start speaking out against these lots before they turn their homes to a wasteland. These guys are hurting innocent people, while their real enemies remain untouchable. Pathetic!!!

Say what ?

Likely cause...Ruptured spleen...internal bleeding...the Nigerian health system failed another gallant man
