Minjim:
If a tyrant is in govt, the people will not support is definition of may National Interest but when someone that the people elected and loved is in govt his definition of National Interest will be at per with the people's.

That was why most Americans agreed with the killing if Osama

well I agree to some extent, but the bin laden case is strictly national security, and it is on foreign soil which means US rule of law was technically not violated, Pakistan where bin laden was killed never filled a violation to any international court for its illegal invassion, Pakistan and US has a treaty on secuirity

ambode has nothing to fear. his performance has been above average, and there was no parallel Congress in Lagos. I doubt one statue building Governor and his demolition specialist counterpart would ever support such

I wish Nigeria could exploit this bilateral agreements a step further. Presidency should start going to this kind of meetings with our medium scale entrepreneurs (as opposed to the dangotes, and otedolas), Academic professors, realtime farmers and raw material producers, top artist naija music and Nollywood, IT experts. The President is going to china again, instead of taking along a delegate of the real players in Nigerian economy, he is going along with politicians and governors like yahaya bello while China delegates would be constituted to contain their best brains in public and private sectors

tinubu's cousin already got the seat. I wonder how the people of Osun would say No to N5k $13, when 87% of Nigerian live on less than $2 a day and a party wants to offer $13 dollars

for once I agree with BMC people. Thousands of people in Benue, Jos, zamfara, Bornu and Adamawa, are no more poor they are simply dead. as a result of governments Inaction towards herdsmen/bokoharam violence, many poor people are simply in IDPs in Cameroon, Chad and Niger. I guess that is the reduction they are talking about

ladoja and been self centered. he had accord party member literarily worshiping him, he dumped them because he felt he was the right guy for PDP national chairman. A High chief and a former senator/Governor should by now start playing politics like an elder stateman

sweetilicious:
I have this contract to get 500 people o.

goto any party Secretariat in your locality and relate with them, there is always a guy in charge of mobilisation, or you can speak to any public university SUG member. am sure if you need more than 500 they are very available

Wiseandtrue:
It has El-rufai's signature all over it!

Sani made a mistake and if he does not rectify it, this will only be the beginning

The little respect he has left is about to go down the drain!

elrufai controls the state structure of APC Kaduna, since there is no automatic ticket or direct primaries, elrufai would influence the APC primaries delegate list, and just like that Shehu sani is in hot soup

this man likes to travel sha,

that aso rock blocks them from reality

security>> from unrest in few local government in northeast(2014), more towns across north central and north west are now battling with crisis , SARS are now part of insecurities down south(I guess that's a dividend)
Economy>> Nigerian economy slipped into a recession, after just getting out of it early this year, NBS data shows the economy is now contracting for this very quarter. Nigeria is ranked with the highest number of poor people in the world.
Power>> commendable improvement but ridiculously high tariff

Auladimeji:
How is it Nigeria problem,are we her defendant or are we related to the Queen

abi

adioolayi:
Thanks... That's not too good now!

Governors will still have upper hand.. except the current NASS members can match them money for money, their return ticket is shaking

painfully so. the governor can easily manipulate state delegates list

adioolayi:
Meaning, Governorship, State House of Assembly candidates will be picked by consensus... while NASS and Presidential candidates will be picked by elected state delegates (Direct primary) ...Hope I am correct

direct primary (all party members vote)
indirect primary(only selected party delegations vote)

National primary(Only presidential)
State primary(all state legislator, federation legislature and governor of a state)

every Northerner knows power must return to south as from 2023, so every Northerner wants to try his luck. from northwest to north central

jokes on tinubu and oshiomole, thinking APC would accept direct primaries. Now its very clear they are on their own trying to bring back grassroot politicking

Angrymode:
Refusing to obey the constitution when it permits an action is tyranny. Rather we should pressure our legislatures to make clear and stringent laws that our SANs cannot easily dance shaku shaku through them all the time.

yes the legislatures need to work on clear laws on ECA and other similar cash buffers the executive are keeping. But Jonathan could have done what fashola did when senate made a cut to second Niger bridge and Lagos Ibadan express way budget. in politics you scream until everyone who has ears know who is at fault. only omokiri tries abit after Jonathan left government

that direct primaries would have been a great idea, all the abuja senators that forgot the way to their constituency would have kissed their seat goodbye and the governors that only favor their family and friends in appointments as opposed to qualified party members they would have been packing their loads. I guess as usual Tinubu over estimated his influence

P.S;
even if people like tinubu, oshiomole, osinbanjo, fashola, ameachi, ambode and other creative people in APC try to introduce something progressive, some backward elements would never allow it to work

these guys have a better chance come 2023. Against little campaign fund, and electoral strength, their 2019 campaigns were quite impressive and organized.
they bring new flavor into politics, only that the need to heavily engage the northern youth through arewa youth forum and paying homage to their emirs and sultans, they can even buy a fake tittle like jagaban of katsina. after all when abiola started his own aspiration during shagari days he was seen as a joker, even Buhari tried his luck thrice

Greek gift, brexit had made them remember their old Ally, now our luxury shopping and vacation are done in dubai. gone are the days when Burberry and Paul smith was like the only thing Nigerian elite favor.

most black Americans are now using their DNA to search their ancestry. who knows the Jacksons might be from Yoruba tribe

no point been an hypocrite, APC don't want him there, and he also decided not to bother them. as for tinubu appearing at the meeting even when he isn't meant to be there, that shows no one trust anyone in APC. if he mistakenly over sleep anytime in Lagos, they would sideline him again as they did after 2015

Greatzeus:
Olodo, meekness is totally different from being weak and absolutely clueless

you are very wrong on this

clueless; having no knowledge, understanding, or ability (eg Buhari doesn't know about budget padding, killing in middlebelt, SARS brutality. a sick and perhaps lifeless man lacks ability)

meekness; quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive (eg Jonathan, always submitting to pressure from okonjo, governors forum, Allison, dasuki, mama peace)

the same thing zombies accused saraki of, they would conveniently ignore it when it comes to tinubu or oshiomole. Anyways the new direct primaries oshiomole is bringing on board is the new game changer

APC lead FG, and excuses, at first they said Asia rice was cheaper than Nigerian rice because Asian government financed local rice farmers. After budgeting money and starting CBN intervention and fertilizer subsidy, they changed story again claiming the price differences was because a large cargo of plastic rice had been warehoused in Cotonou and they were flooding our Markets. the new excuse is now the rice millers
