The Yoruba's have to be wiser now and not watch the history repeat itself, this just happens to be exactly like Awolowo and Ladoke again. If we are to look at antecedents and weigh them Osinbajo can't be compared to Tinubu.

Will you stop Yorubas have to be wiser nonsense. What did you gain when Obj was a president? What did common Ijaw get when Jonathan was a president? What did the poor Hausas get with Buhari in power? So everyone should vote about their interest and stop this nonsensical Yoruba thing.

perambulator:
Osinbajo’s candidacy is dead on arrival. He may not even declare, forget what you read in the papers by his sychophants urging him to run, I know for a fact that he knows he cannot win a primary unless he is a consensus candidate. He will be embarrassed in a primary contest with Tinubu and Amaechi. Consensus can tear the party apart, why would Buhari risk tearing the party apart for someone who has not earned the right to contest and contributed nothing to the formation of the party? Common sense would tell people that If Buhari is not supporting Tinubu, he will not add further humiliation by suppprting his protégée. If Buhari is picking a consensus candidate, it will be Amaechi or Fayemi!


The writing is in the wall for Osinbajo, his political naivety has put him in no man’s land. Fayemi wants to be president but you don’t see him encouraging his supporters or creating proxy support groups because he has been in politics long enough to know when the odds are stacked against you, you keep quiet. I can give you this guarantee. If Tinubu doesn’t get the ticket and Amaechi doesn’t get the ticket, Osinbajo will not be the compromise candidate. It will likely go to the man who just kept quiet….Fayemi. This is a trend in Nigerian politics, Fayemi is a political scientist a ph.D holder in political science, he knows the game as a student of Nigerian politics, he knows all leading aspirants tend to knock themselves out and the eventual winner is selected be it Balewa, shagari, Obasanjo, Yaradua Buhari. If Tinubu/Amaechi don’t get the ticket and for some reason the they insist the ticket must come to SW, it will fall on Fayemi not Osinbajo because Osinbajo would have created too much bad blood!!!! The Tinubu camp will never suppprt Osinbajo after his betrayal and like it or not APC need the Tinubu camp onboard. APC needs Tinubu, APC needs Amaechi, APc needs Fayemi, APC don’t need Osinbajo…..he is the most dispensable of the contenders, I.e the one you least need to keep happy!!!!

Personally, I would prefer Amaechi but I cannot see new PDP getting the chairmanship and the presidency. Apc was a merger between AD, PDP and CPC. CPC has been president and as I said New PDP has been selected as Chairman by CPC. The logical move is for the ticket to go to AD. If it is going to The AD faction it will not go to Osinbajo for reasons mentioned above, if Tinubu is deemed unsuitable then it will be Fayemi.

Could you list the leading candidates during Tafawa, Shagari, OBJ, Yar'dua, Buhari respectively. Let's start from there before I deconstruct your epistle.

Reason I avoid Muslim-dominated SW states which are: Ogun, Oyo and Osun. Even in Lagos, I try to avoid those alfas.

Na wa oo

Pidginwhisper:
But it’s ok for Ikpeba to single him out for criticism while Ogunefon the coach who lack awareness and tactics should be praised. Why was Ogunefon not criticized? The idiot of a coach still went all out to insult the players, who does that? A coach that didn’t know that his opponent switched to back 5 until he was told
by one of the players, how’s that one a coach. Man is clueless asf . Make una dey get sense

He was asked a question. He didn't pick the stupid rude boy.

See them. Dem no create school, na to dey do esin imole (religion by force) dem sabi. Dan FoolDio was busy killing and founding ile keu (learning arabic), FoolDio had a negative impact on Naija, originator of every bad thing in Naija. Now dem wan fight the missionaries for their schools. Nonsense and ingredient.

JosephXavier:
I know all that

But he is the only person to have successfully won a free and fair election in the history of Nigeria

He isn't a saint

Then learn to separate his mandate from his person. As a person, Abiola was part of Nigeria problems. Stole from you through government. As a person he was bad.

foryourmindlol:
One Nigeria will be the end of blind, short-sighted people.

Idiotic tribal goat. Didn't SW fight for Jonathan in his first term? When Shehu Shagari was the president, who was the VP? Didn't a northerner choose as SEner as VP on PDP platform? Abi Atiku is not a fulani as Buhari? So what's the fuse all about? Always see things from the tribal point.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
But Yoruba, represented by Adeyinka Grandson, are No 1 confirmed hate mongers in Nigeria. You can't argue with fact. And I don't care about Simon Ekpa.

Idiotic Kanu started it. This is what happened when one is not stopped on time. Assuming idiotic Kanu had been stopped on time this useless idiotic Adeyinka wouldn't have surfaced. Thanks to UK for doing a good job.

If it was a foreign company you wouldn't have been interested to know it's competence,track record and POF.
Still if the company name was Adekunle Tinubu and Son you would've awarded the contract.
Dirty back stabber pig, make Satan cancel all it's appointment today take time punish you

Dem don take your brain play ball inside latrine, you can never be wise again.

So you prefer to have a locomotive as a husband? No come here to complain ooo.

Atejila1:
We all know who Rotimi is when he want to get something he always play dirty, dragging the VP into this will not qualify him to be the next Presidential candidate.
Prof Osinbajo was not the only one in the FEC how can a contract of billions of naira be given to a company that is only two years in the business that is a fowl play. And why did Amechi did not come to prove that memo on how that very company can do the Job.
In fact that company Belongs to Rotimi Amechi.

In a sane society, Ameachi will be indicted for fraud. Playing politics with people's lives.

kingyakos:
Earnestly you the first and only person that speak my mind... antecedent rather than competence, judging a book by its front cover.
Showers of blessings and more wisdom upon you.

You be useless mumu. Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon etc al started small and grow. They showed POC. They didn't just go to DOD for billion of dollars contract. Even US DOD don't award big contracts to unknown or fledgling companies, you start with $10k contract and move up. Secondly, FB, MS, Amazon, Tesla, Apple et al are wrong examples...they didn't start with contracts instead they started with providing innovative solutions to human needs. That gave them a track record. Next time use your sense instead of tribalism and hatred.

emmykk:
If Osinbajo is presiding over the FEC he will singlehandedly approve anything and it stand because he is acting as president.

Why didn't the FEC stand down the train that went to Niger Republic? Is Niger Republic part of Nigeria? The answer is No.

But once the president has approve nobody say a jack.
So you guys saying Osinbajo is not the one to approve that but SEC.

As for you guys saying the company resource is below 3Billion I m disapoint at your ignorance of business.

So if a university is to be painted and it will cost 1billion you guys with a registered company can not organiser a painting company to carry outh the duties.

A company recently won 5G license over airtel

Mumu, company has no track record. You can't come from nowhere to handle big project like that. No brand name for them to crosscheck the prices and the quality and the reviews of people that have used the products. Shit! This country will never get better with non-objective people like you.

QuotaSystem:
Lies and misrepresentation.

Amaechi's proposal wasn't rejected just because of the brand (or lack thereof), but mainly due to a conflict of interest and lack of capacity.





So Amaechi wanted to entrust our railway security to a Papa, Mama & Pikin company with neither the capital nor track record for delivering such a critical project. The jackals even wanted the payment upfront

Osibanjo was indeed a good steward of leadership when he was in acting capacity as President in Buhari's absence. His eagle eyes spotted the irregularities when he presided over the FEC meeting and rejected the proposal accordingly.

No wonder Amaechi was so quick to point fingers and pass blame immediately after the incident. If he had done the right thing in the first place and presented a proposal from a reputable & capable company that wouldn't raise red flags of "conflict of interest", could the unfortunate railway tragedy of last Sunday have been averted? Maybe. Just maybe.

Let us soberly reflect, make amends & give reverence to the innocent departed, and Amaechi's handlers should stop playing petty politics with an avoidable national tragedy .

Hmmm! How do we know the papa, mama and pikin company didn't collude with the attackers because of the rejection? Anything is possible in Naija.

AbujaCitiBlog:
Osinbajo was the one chairing the meeting, that's why it went the way it did. If it was President Buhari chairing the meeting it would have been approved by now.

All that leaked Memo bullshit is coming out from the Osinbajo camp to save face. If truly there were issues, why then did President Buhari Order immediate implementation after the blast and kidnap?

We know Osinbajo and Tinubu are very scared of the rising profile of Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and they are really worried he is growing in leaps and bounds! Na una go shame Las Las.

You pass through school but school no pass through you. A disgrace to educated people.

PrinceOfLagos:
The PDP are on the right track

Nigerians must get rid of APC satanic party in 2023

Lol...was Saraki not in APC or Atiku? Nigerian politicians will always jump to another party once they lose out in one. They are bunch of the same feathers. They speak from both sides of the mouth. Is it Atiku that has been contesting every election since 1992 that you are banking your hope on? You don't think he would need to recoup the money wasted all these years? APC and PDP are not the answers.

superCleanworks:
Very honorable of him.

What the heck? He should have resigned after ANC. Led us to the worst ANC in the history of Nigeria. He knew he wasn't good enough, he handled the WC games. Same thing he did in 2006.

FinegirlLA:
How can you bring strangers together and expect them to do the work of brothers? They cannot play with that urgency because they don’t know the history and the rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana and what football means to the average Nigerian

Foul, foul. Problem Eguavoen is not a coach. He messed up in 2006...he doesn't progress when he meets real challenges. He doesn't have a plan b. All the 94 set are still stuck on 4-4-2. The only formation they know.

DrGoodman:
It's the same sentiments uniting Nigeria since 1970. If there is no Igbos to hate together, Nigeria would have scattered.

Buharri got elected because the Yorubas felt that Jonathan must go, because it was said he was favoring Igbos. An Ijaw man for that matter. Forget the corruption tag he got.

Nnamdi Hero Kanu would have got a standing ovation for his messages of warnings for fulani attrocities on the south, but he is Igbo, so everyone had to love Buharri than listen to the voice of reason.

But their hate is already eating them up, it's one young Igbo doctor today and countless northerners gone.

Everyone hates Igbo, yet Hausa worked with them or should say hausas allowed igbo to work with them. An Igbo man, Azikiwe, was second in position in first republic after Balewa. An Igbo man, Ekuweme, was VP of Shagari, yet everyone hates you. These are the lies and hatred they have been passing to you guys from generation to generation. And that's what your politicians use to get votes from you. But at the top, there's no tribal division when they still money.

You are a lazy and tribal bigot. Tribalism is the only thing you see as a reason for Jonathan's loss. Jonathan regime was bad, corruption was order of the day. Luckily for him, oil price was $100 average. He didnt save for the raining days. OBJ wiped our debts, while Jonatha allowed the reserved to be looted. He had to go. Didn't the west vote for him in 2011? How come you didnt complain about that? Economy was bad, people wanted changes. Even Saraki and Atiku and many more including some SE and SS left PDP. Even in 2015, SW didn't vote for APC massively. It was 51-49% split to APC-PDP. Jonathan through Mimiko destroyed PDP in Ondo state else PDP would have won easily. The aggrieved people they neglected joined APC. He basically made APC stronger. It was the rest of the south and north that massive rigging took place. Both countered each other.

Most Nigerians always vote along the party line irrespective of the candidate depending on the party they belong to. I can assure you that had it been Jonathan crossed to APC in 2015 and Buhari to PDP, SE and SS would voted PDP and see Jonathan as a traitor. SS and SE always vote for PDP irrespective of the candidate. I don't know the right word for it. But it is myopic not to see what you guys are doing wrong but critize a region where true elections(to some extent) always take place. All southwest states have moved btw PDP and other parties except Lagos which has remained AD/ACN since inception.

That being said, Jonathan govt was bad. Buhari's worse for sure. It is true that Jonathan neglected southwest, he had bad advisers around him. When it was dawn on him that he would lose the election, he postponed it by 2 weeks, and pumped massive money to SW kings and OPC guys. But it was too late because APC already won many people over. PDP is strong in SW, if he had carried his party member along, he would have won easily. Obj, Saraki, Atiku, Amaechi, Orji Uzor Kalu and so many more left the party....and you still blame the west for Jonathan's weaknesses of surrounding himself with myopic people and bad adviser like you that always see things through ethnic prism. Gani Fawehinmi and other SW were the ones that championed his course to be installed as president when Yar'dua was on a sick bed. Sowore ran the story of how canals are ruling etc. How come you didn't castigate the SW for fighting for Jonathan?

The next president that will come will be worse than Buhari until we get our fundamentals right, which are industrialization and make everyone accountable for his or her action. I'm sure during Jona, it was said Obj govt was the best. But I remember we complained during ObJ even saying Abacha's regime was better. During Abacha, we said we shd have continued with IBB that he was way better than Abacha. IBB that we even supported the coup of 1990 just to take him out. We said IBB should have left Buhari to continue that he was doing a good job. But the same Buhari was chased out that heis govt was too hash compare to Shehu Shagari. But during Shagari, it was said that corruption was other of the day that wanted military to take over. I hope you see a pattern. Without going to the building blocks to get it right, in 2023 people will be praising Buhari too.


Eventually, stop having a lazy analysis of seeing things through ethnic prism and get ride of yourself of tribal bigotry. Until you get ride of that everyone hates you, you can never have peace. Peace.

JEWELofHELL666:
This is an unpopular opinion, but it's the truth. Chinelo caused her own death.

As a medical doctor, she should know better that a gunshot wound is a medical emergency that requires basic first aid applications like stopping the bleeding, using hand, cloth, etc.

But what did she do? She decided to chase clout by opening her Twitter application and going through the stress of typing "I'm in the train. I have been shot, please pray for me."

This is a bad first aid practice. It changed a lot. The hand she should have used to stop the bleeding was used to call for prayers on Twitter. To her, her followers' superstitious prayers are more effective than first aid.

May her soul rest in peace.

Thunder fire you.

The country is in chaos. There's a terrorist attack, yet the President and Governor of that state haven't addressed the nation. There was a terrorist attacks 'on' Kaduna airport few days earlier, government didn't do Jack. Life continues as usual. Hence the more the terrorists believe they can attack and get away with it. In a sensible country, there would have been a state of emergency after the attack on kaduna airport. These guys called politicians are busy perfecting who will be allowed to steal money in 2023 instead of provide security for the citizens.

There are people like Gumi are known to be terrorist sympathizers, govt of Buhari has done Jack about it. Our border is so porus that people from Niger Republic and non Nigeria fulanis have turned Nigeria to their father land, bringing insecurity, killing unchallenged. Unfortunately the President sees his job to protect his cousins first before protecting Nigerians who (s)elected him.


RIP to Nelo and those who lost their lives on the train. I'm so pissed right now.

They need to stop this NYSC shit. Stressing people and waking them up at 3am is a stress that not everyone can withstand. Thunder fire the director general of NYSC for calling it an act of God. NYSC shd be scraped.

kettykings:
Umaru Yar'Adua, shagari, etc are all Fulani men who proved that they will toe the line of truth and justice anyday and Igbos voted for them so I don't understand your surprise and post

Igbo/SE would have voted for PDP irrespective of the person. They voted for OBJ. With Shehu Shagari, Igbo man was the VP. I repeat, Nigerians vote along party line not because of integrity or whatsoever. If Bode George becomes PDP flag bearer today, SE and SS will still vote for PDP. SW and North can go either way because the 2 major parties are equally represented in both region.

Cromagnon:
how
He was merely a governor in his state. Was he supposed to employ other tribes?

You dey mind some myopic people. Awo that offered free education to everyone living in the west irrespective of your ethnicity. If anything, Igbos who cried of tribalism, nepotism etc are the most tribalistic ethnic bigot I have ever seen both home and abroad. They always seen things from ethnic prism yet complained that are being marginalized. They pass hatred lies and civil war propaganda they were fed from generation to generation. They need to look inward, if other ethnic groups don't trust you and hate you like you people always claim, they need to ask why them.

I remember watching Genevieve movie, LionHeart, with bunch of them. The last scene of the movie didn't go down with 99% of them. They were like how could an Hausa man marry an Igbo girl. "It is sacrilegious". I asked if an Hausa man not a person? There were pretty angry.

Realist12:
the earlier you know southwest doesn't play religion politics the better , every southwest family has a Christian, Muslim and traditional person. There's no time for discrimination

A blanket statement that's not true. It might be true among the amala-eating Yorubas (Oyo and Osun), or Muslim dominated SW areas which are Oyo, Osun and Ogun states.

Skyfornia:
Seriously I watched the game and I wondered to myself, from all over the country, is this the best set of players the coach could pick? They didn't play like professionals at all, no focus, no tactic... Even a village match will be more entertaining.

The problem is the coach and not the players. Egu is still stuck on 1994 4-4-2 wing playing. He had no plan b. Can't read a game. It was obvious from ANC that Egu is not it. Worst performance for Naija in ANC and worst performance against any team. Imagine 37% ball possession.

Ghana team was really bad, and that tells you how bad Naija team is.

Kazeem47:
So South side actually give people living there immortality?

Until we stop reasoning like dullard, Nigeria will not get better. Instead of you to dispute what she wrote, you are begging the question.
She pointed her reasoning, you can disagree and list the reason behind it.
Is it true serving in the North pose more dangers to corpers?

Real Ronaldo for me, followed by Zidane and then Dinho, then Jayjay.

Do you mind to lecture us pre-1960 and post 1960? And I'm sure my post reflected first republic.
You shd be the one to go and read. And I'm being nice too. List all the republics President and vps.

mrvitalis:
Tinubu faction way no even follow for APC
Which osibanjo ? The one that Buhari makes sure he comes back before 21 days so he won't be acting president ?

Wike ? Which wike ? The way Una dey over hype people base on their media noise

Go and read about alabo Graham Douglas first wike no even follow for top5 for rivers PDP

His political career is over

Read to understand and just to reply. I'm talking about people with money to burn against Tinubu...I mentioned Atiku and to some extent (keyword) Wike, because he has access to the state money. Every other thing you wrote with respect to Tinubu, PYO, Buhari or whatever doesn't make sense to my post.
