ALTERNATEID:
The law came into force in 2018 and as a result, cannot have a retroactive effect on Goodluck Jonathan who was sworn in twice before the law was made. It is settled law that a new law cannot have a retroactive effect. Jonathan can still contest if he so wishes. He is not affected by that section.

You people Sha. Where did u get ur education from?
Okay, if a new law is passed today that a president and vice candidate can now serve three times instead of the current two.
How many times more will Obasanjo and Atiku serve as Presido and VP (ONE or THREE?).
So, if you say one (which I agree) why? Wasn't the law suppose to allow him restart and serve three times since according to you it is not retroactive. Why will d law still make reference to his past two terms and only allow him serve once?
Think Bro. Think.

All of a sudden the aspersions and castigated of Buhari's regime have ceased. What changed?

Bayo Onanuga and his team were always blaming Buhari's failure, like "we inherited a dead economy". Buhari got us into deep debts., etc.

So, my question is what changed that Tinubu's APC stopped blaming Buhari's APC?

So, he should continue blaming the dead?
What kind of Culture did you grow up from?
I think that is a very bad culture (I am not sorry to say).
GO and UNLEARN and RELEARN.

Pls read what I wrote again...

Thank you!

Okay.

aribisala0:
It is not a law but a constitutional matter

Buhari's signature is irrelevant to constitutional changes
What matters is that two thirds of the state Houses of Assembly assent

Whether he is eligible if the constitution has actually changed as above is really not down to your opinion which is what you expressed
Others have different opinions
Explaining the purpose in YOUR OPINION changes nothing. The scenario you described is patronising as if you are talking to children
Every one knows how a woman becomes pregnant you don't need to explain

It came about because of Jonathan and had consensus in the National Assembly and it was intended to avoid such problems as arose with Jonathan. It was to come into effect immediately not retroactively and unless thar was specifically stated it cannot be assumed to apply to Jonathan

As with all things Nigerian if he tries to contest the courts will decide


I do not recall if. The state Houses of Assembly passed it

Do you know what retroactive law means? Please go and read on it before u come and be using the lingua anyhow.
Had he entered in 2015 and served his tenure and the maybe the law was passed today, the law cannot retract his second tenure or strip him of the benefits therein.
That is was retroactive means in the contest if the matter in discourse. Not that he want to contest again in two years time and u are calling that retroactive.

Do u think that everything that the Assembly pass and signed by the president requires the consent of two third of states?
You still have a lot to read on laws. Read bro Read.

Relocating from your present residential area, will be the best decision of your life.
If you're living in Port Harcourt, I will enjoin you to move over to where I reside, where light supply many days 22 hours daily.
Even if it is interrupted, before you sneeze, light will be restored.
You will pay rent and electricity tarrif that match these comfort.
Except on occasion where there is an equipment breakdown.
Move over where the action is.

No mind them, some people will be living in the creeks where them no even get electricity connection and still dey complain.
I enjoy over 20 hrs electricity daily here on a steady.

tito44:
You are!

In other regimes during raining season like this, electricity is abundant, but under Tinubu, you hardly see 2-day electricity in a week. It's very disheartening that this govt has failed in all metrics

Where do you live? In the creeks?
I enjoy over 20hrs electricity daily.

I think the old system of monarchy practiced in these places plays a significant role...




Perhaps!

If you notice Africa and the countries you mentioned China and Russia had an older system where monarchy was the traditional form of government practiced. They have that in common though in different forms.

Democracy is a relatively newer form of government which originated from the west (Greece) Introduced and spread to these countries.

Many of these countries with origins of having a monarch just practice a hybrid of both democracy and monarchy. Or a democracy with many tenets or components of monarchy but just call it democracy.

I may be wrong though but it's just an observation or theory that may have some level of accuracy!

Did Africa start with democracy?
Didn't our forefathers practice Monarchical system for centuries before Democracy came.
How are we different from them? Stop making excuses for them. If you want to blame, blame us all.
Monarchical system of government works in the Middle East than Democracy. It would have worked here too if only the West did not impose their ways on us.

helinues:
That's manipulated constitution. Why was he allowed to contest in 2011?

The laws was passed by the Senate in 2017 and was signed by Buhari on July 2018.
So, as at 2015, he was still eligible because that section of the law was not there but as of now, he is no longer eligible.
It is to ensure that no one serves more than 8years in office. Imagine if a president was sworn in last month and died after a month. If that portion is not there, it means the VP now Presido may serve for 12 years. That was why the bill was enacted after Buhari won the 2015 election.
You can read more on it online.
Thanks.

Shattuck:
it should be unity and not trust bridge, has the south south for example done any harm for it to build trust bridge with anyone, if we are to talk about trust bridge it is the others who should be proving it's trust, it is a case of political marginalization and undermining, the key I would say is southern unity but the south west seem to always never align with the rest of the south when it is not beneficial to it's selfish needs, the best is for the rest of the southern states to form it's own political alliance.

Good luck.
All the best in your new found political alliance.

kolexy:
The SW was neither President nor VP during 1959 -1966 and 2007 to 2015. In fact the SW was completely shut out between 2011 and 2015.

Na why first to do no dey sweet like last to do na.
The region(s) that shut us out for 4 years is now on the verge of being shut out for 16 years and if care is not taken will be shut out for 32 years if u do the Maths.
Concerning 1959-1966, regional government was the order of the day and the West was deemed to be far far far better than their counterparts. Let that sink.

Female football:

Perpetua Nkwocha scored more goals for Nigeria than Asisat could ever dream of, won more trophies for Nigeria and remains the Female pacesetter for football greatness in Nigeria and Africa before Oshoala could dream of replicating such. The real MVP of the recent WAFCON tournament was Esther Okoronkwo, she and Echiegini (another Igbo girl) are the reasons we won the trophy in Morocco.

Ademola Lookman hasn't won shit for Nigeria, the crux of the argument here is who has won what for Nigeria. So Kanu Nwankwo is the reason why Nigeria won her first and only ever gold medal in Olympic football with his historic goals in that famous win against Brazil, Sunday Mbah won Nigeria her third AFCON trophy with his goal in 2013. Wake me up when any Yoruba player is a 2x African player of the year winner like Kanu Nwankwo. Emmanuel Amuneke's goals won us our second AFCON trophy in 1994 against a dogged Zambian team.

Mikel Obi and Kanu are the most decorated Nigerian football players till date, should I go on?

Music? The likes of Psquare were heavyweights before your wizkid was even a factor, currently one of the highest streaming musicians is an Igbo boy called Chella (look him up),he is topping charts with his banger. He gained significant popularity after the release of "My Darling," which became a viral sensation, reaching #1 on the Global Shazam chart and inspiring millions of TikTok videos. Ckays "Love Nwantiti" has done more global hit numbers than majority of your overrated Yoruba artists put together. Another Igbo boy in America called Shaboozey had the biggest streaming song back to back in a 2 year stretch, a record breaker for a country music genre.

Go to movies if dem born you well: list any current or past Yoruba actors or actresses who are more recognized and famous in Africa and beyond than the likes of Pete Edochie, Aki & Pawpaw, Osuofia, Genevieve Nnaji etc, i dare you so name them

Go Forbes list now? Me sef get names for you
Go ICT and AI if dem born you well, I have names for you there

Lol...always making reference to the dead and the retired. Una no get next generation people?
Keep mentioning Nwankwo and Mikel and P Square while I keep mentioning those who are still reigning and still hot.
Like I always say: "You are the PAST, We are the FUTURE."
I grew up watching Igbo dominated movies with the likes of Saint Obi, Emeka Ike, Luiz Benson. But now Yoruba is the present and future of Nollywood.

I am sure TINUBU will enter the ring with assurance while Obi and Atiku will still be hoping one steps down for the other.
But Obidients know this for a fact but then no go still agree. We dey wait for Obi to contest ooo. He should not be VP to Atiku to prove that he is more popular.

Yoruba aligned with the North and neo colonial Britain to hyjack political leadership in Nigeria through a vicious war. That's what happened. Political ostracisation of the igbos is an entrenched ideology within the federal level in Nigeria. Igbo marginalization has absolutely nothing to do with how politically smart or not the igbos are since the inception of democratic rule. It has everything to do with neo colonial proxies in Nigeria, utilising state power to corner the resources and the economy of the whole country as a war booty.
Period!
Stop with the obfuscation of facts

E pain you now abi?
What did Azikiwe do to Awolowo with the North? We even lose Kwara and Kogi because Azikiwe supported Ahmadu Bello to let Kwara (80% Yoruba) be with the North instead of West out of wickedness and bitterness.
But first to do no dey pain na.

1. 2025, Ministry of Transportation budget: N256b

2. 2025, Ministry of Aviation budget: N72b

3. This N712b to rehabilitate MMA is not coming from the approved budget. So where is the cash coming from? It's from the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund (RHIDF. The RHIDF is an executive action to create a piggy bank separate from the FAAC, without legislative oversight and in disregard to the concept of Federal Character

4. What else is the RHIDF funding?
4.1 Rehabilitation of Terminal One at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
4.2 The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway,
4.3 Sokoto-Badagry Expressway,
4.4 Lagos-Kano and Eastern rail lines.

5. To summarise, the RHIDF has more funds for infrastructure than the federal budget

6. This is illegal as only the NASS can appropriate and spend tax revenues. A president can't take oil revenue and spend it as he wishes because the FEC said so.

Why then do we have a budget process?

He should also prepare on how to deal with the aftermath. That's because folks won't keep quiet for long. Thus is where The fulanis are a lot better than you lot. At least they care to understand the importance of carrying others along. Tinubu is intoxicated with power.
You oppress a people to a point you should be bracing up for the consequences.

If you want all positions for the Yorubas, do well and get yourself a brand new republic. It is that simple!
Preaching One Nigeria at every turn while cornering every position, every contract, every project and every appointment for your people is the height of political irresponsibility.
It's also very interesting that most Southwesterners are showing their true nature by aligning with this deplorable trend of events.

Which Aftermath? He will win hands down.
All these ur talk no concern me. Appointments and infrastructural developments na part of wetin him don talk wen Buhari dey do him own. Him talk say "Yoruba lo kan." Don you know what that meant?
My advice to Igbos (though they won't take it). "Endure everything now and stoop down to observe until u lay your hands on Presidency. Don't be too confrontational, just strategize and make right political calculations."
But I know they won't listen.
Yoruba will never be taken out of the scheme of things. We are too strategic to be looked down on. Another president will come but he has no choice but to respect us because we hold a lot of sway and out strategy and tenacity is second to none.

Nasir el-Rufai at an APC rally in Kaduna in December 2022

Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, says “we may not have a country” if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the 2027 elections.

El-Rufai spoke on Saturday in Sokoto during a grassroots mobilisation campaign for the opposition coalition — the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The former Kaduna governor said he joined the coalition to ensure the APC is voted out of power.

El-Rufai, a former APC chieftain, said he is ready to mobilise Nigerians to eject the “incompetent” ruling party.

“I’m not in politics to get anything for myself. I’m in politics to serve,” he said.

“When the government does not serve the people, it is my duty as a senior citizen to come out and condemn it and take steps to reverse the situation.

“That is why we come together as people opposed to the policies of this government to form the coalition, which has resulted in the adoption of ADC.

“We are in Sokoto to begin the process of mobilising Nigerians against the APC government anywhere and the federal government in Abuja.

“I believe that if we allow this party and the government to continue for a second term in office, what remains of Nigeria’s social capital will be destroyed, and we may not have a country at all. This is a fight for our lives.”

El-Rufai was one of the founding leaders of the APC, but in March 2025, he left the ruling party for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

His exit came over a year after his ministerial appointment was blocked by the national assembly over alleged security concerns.

The SDP recently announced his expulsion from the party and banned him for 30 years, citing alleged forgery of membership documents, among other issues.

The former Kaduna governor is now one of the leading figures in ADC — the opposition coalition platform.

If the Northerners are wise the singular question they would ask him is:
You told us PDP was bad and we should vote for APC we did but what happened after. You told us Tinubu was the best after slice bread, what happened after two years. Now you are saying the APC is bad and ADC is the best.
EL RUFAI, GIVE US ONE REASON WHY WE SHOULD TRUST YOU.
