Hmm
I thought adogan meant

The stove or stand like fire place

You are right there. It seems I am the one missing all the Yoruba things up ooo...Shey I don dey forget my dialect ni bayi?
I call ask my mum to know what it's being called later on in the day. But you are right, it's the local stove that is called Adogan.

Kukutente23:
How do you know the factors are no longer there?
Has the Muslim Muslim configuration of the APC changed?
Has governance improved under APC?
Do people now enjoy better standard of living under APC than before?
Has security improved?
Is the nation less divided than before?
These are the factors I believe helped Obi to get votes in 2023 and I believe they are even worse than in 2023 which means more votes for Obi

No, those factors are no longer there.
1. The Muslim Muslim ticket is no longer a threat to Christians anymore. Some will still vote Obi but no longer on the fear that the Muslim Muslim ticket will discriminate Christians like it was once feared.
2. Governance has improved under Tinubu. All the economic indices have pointed to positives. The Macro economy is reaping the rewards of the reforms. Before 2027 election, the results would have trickled to the Micro economy.
3. There is more security as we don't hear of bombs again like during the era of Jonathan. The current insecurity is common among men all around the world but the government is working on them. Security is not a one time thing, it is successive and continuous.
4. The definition of standard of living defers from individuals. My life is better than four years ago. I have better savings now than four years ago. I enjoy constant electricity than four years ago. It's not the same for everyone that's why I said it is relative. Every America no favor everyone wey go there, some still come back empty handed.
5. The nation has always been divided and till we come to a consensus that everyone should go their separate ways, tribalism and ethnicity will continue to divide us. Jonathan did all his best to please the North but they still showed him pepper because he is not a Northerner and they believe he wanted to take the northern turn. Ethnicity will continue to forever be an issue.

Thanks.

emmy4real94:
So he should lie about the realities to make tinibu feel good?

He should call out the governor of his party na. Abi no be governors US talk abi na president? Or Alex Otti no be governor for this country abi na APC get all the governors. It means the governor of his party whom he supported to win has also FAILED.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Including the Governor of his political party right? Alex Otti?
If the Governor of his party is among them he has no point because it shows it is not an APC thing since it's Governors that were mentioned and not President.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

aribisala0:
those that don't call it that what do they call it?

Note that there are Yorubas in Benin Republic too so this business of states came AFTER

not before the language

Some people in Ondo state call it "Adogan".

TruthU87:
You think the West Bank is at peace under Israeli control? It seems you’ve been living under a rock. Just search 'West Bank' on Google and see the atrocities Israel has committed and still continues to commit there. As I said, this war was never about Hamas; it’s about stealing Palestinian land.

Have u heard wars or bombardment in those areas? Don't people fight over issues like the herdsmen and farmers here in Nigeria? Does that excalate to a full blown war?
Show me evidence of full blown war in West Bank or Golan height like its evident in Gaza.
Simplito.

Ikaeniyan0:
You're right. Keke Maruwa in Lagos

Yes.
Keke Napep in other places.
Garden eggs (Ijegun in some other places, but Igba in Lagos and some other places too).

MeaslesMumpsRub:
West Bank, Golan Height and Gaza have long been under siege

When last did you get news of bombardment in those areas aside Gaza?

Commentor:
Which Houthis?

Get the news right.

Which particular news on the Houthis should I get right please?

tunjijones:
This statistics is not correct.

Obi cant convince obidients to accept him running as a vice. The moment he does that, the movement will break or better still look for another candidate for 2031, that's when those that are obidients because of tribe wld drop the movement and grind something else to do. Most southern will prefer to vote for Tinubu so he can complete his tenure if obi deputise Atiku, even some northern wld prefer Tinubu completes his tenure in 2031 so south will not contest with them in 2031.


Either obi contest as vice to Atiku or contest in a separate party, it's a win win for Tinubu.

This is just what it is, not me supporting Tinubu government.

I am supporting Tinubu government.
My analysis is on point but may not be 100% but no one can deny the fact that Atiku/Obi ticket will give Jagaban a run for his money that for Atiku and OBI to run on different platforms, it will be much easier for Jagaban.
Simplito

2mch:
Yes we all used to call it Agbari Ojuku in the West. That’s its name. I even called it same yesterday and I am from Lagos.

In Ondo state where I come from it is called "Adogan" not "Agbari Ojukwu" but "Agbari Ojukwu" is not alien to me.

olaleke1:
The plant "AKINTOLA" is also well known in Kwara State and some parts of Lagos, e.g. Ikorodu to be precise.

It is often used to stop fresh open wounds from continuous bleeding. It also has other medicinal uses...

My point exactly. The leaf is everywhere but do all Yorubas call is by that name? Ewe AKINTOLA?

Kukutente23:
You mean he can only get 70% of the votes only if the above conditions are satisfied?
Why then did you claim he will get 70% if Obi and Atiku run? Statistically, APC lost more votes in 2023 than any other party

Because the factors that helped Obi to garner those votes will no longer be there.
Is it difficult to understand?
If Obi contest today, he cannot alone Garner the votes he had in 2023.
Do you oppose that?

aribisala0:
That is not the same thing he said what he said
Reading and Comprehension
Those terms are used in Ogun State
You can go to AJASE in Benin Republic and ask them whether they use those terms

I learnt those terms years ago not from Ondo

I may be wrong in citing Ogun state.
My point is that it is not all states in South West that calls it that.
Those names should not be seen as insult but circumstantial.
Thanks.

TruthU87:
Something like October 7 was going to happen regardless.

I would like you to answer this simple question honestly: If someone from Congo came to your home and claimed that their ancestors settled there 2,000 years ago, asserting that they have the right to live in your house, and when you confronted them, they responded with violence and killed your entire family—how would you react?

Sorry to ask you this question.
Why is West Bank at peace and Gaza is not when both are occupied by Palestinians?
Can you give me the reason why?
Maybe I should answer:
HAMAS!
As long as Hamas is at the saddle of affairs in Gaza, there will be no peace.
I can't have a Lion at my backyard and go to sleep with two eyes closed. It's either I get rid of the Lion or vacate the vicinity. We can't co-exiat.
Jews and Palestinians can co-exist (West Bank has proven that) but to co-exist with Hamas (one of these two must be gotten rid of)
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Validated:
Too bad that Hamas played own goal. But y'all were celebrating them on Oct 8 - 15th. Where are all those shouting 'Death to Israel" across the Arab world now?

Even Iran has gone low.
The Houthis are silent.
Gaza is left alone like orphan.

I don't support war and I hope it all end soonest, but it's bad to kick start what you can't finish.
Hamas asked for it. Gaza is paying in full after delivery.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Kukutente23:
So why didn't he get 70% of votes in 2023?
Na Juju dey do you

Good question.
1. Jagaban was not in control of his party then. There were internal forces working against him but now he is in full control.
2. Many Christians do not trust his Muslim Muslim ticket thereby voting against him but now Christians have enjoyed more Key appointment in this government which will change the dynamics.
3. He has the power of incumbency and many governors and gravitating towards him even from the opposition.
4. Lastly and most importantly, he will be the one to choose the next INEC chairman who will be in charge of the next election. Like it or not 'he who pays the piper dictates the tune' except Jonathan anyways who was a neophyte in politics.

You wan ask another round of questions?
No Be Juju Be Dat?

GodPunishOsu:
What's not adopted in Ogun state?Agbari Ojukwu and Ewe akintola is known and used in Ogun state,please stop saying what you don't know.

So, are you saying all Yorubas call it agbari ojukwu? Or Ewe Akintola?

There is a plant called Akintola.
We are used to naming things after people probably whose name were generally known when that thing became common in the environment.
NOTE: It is not all parts of Yoruba land that adopts those names. It is called so in Ondo state but not in Ogun state.

Aydot99:
This is quite true but Obi won't be looking to step down to be vice even obidients no go gree

Though there is a likelihood he will be vice to Atiku but the North South dycotomy will make him lose the credibility he has with the youth especially from the South who believe the North should not take the south for a ride.
It's a dilemma for him. He loses on either, so the question is 'does he want to lose honorably of dishonorably?'.
If he deputize Atiku and he loses he will be remembered as a former VICE presidential candidate which is diminishing to his political credentials compared to him being remembered as a presidential candidate.
His decision is hinged on this dilemma.

Anything that makes Peter Obi and Atiku contest separately is an automatic win for Jagaban.
Atiku/Obi ticket make winning chance for Jagaban 55% depending on who PDP sponsor to divide opposition votes.
But Obi and Atiku contesting separately means a 70% chance for Jagaban.
If u want to argue this just wait till after election. No need wasting spit.

Ofunaofu:
When over 5 million votes came from the North for Tinubu in 2023, you didn't ask, ‘Who are the North?’ Nor did you bother to break it down by tribe or religion. It was convenient then to treat the North as a unified bloc. But now that it’s clear the North has shifted ground, you're suddenly dissecting the region trying to divide it along ethnic lines to push a biased narrative.

That selective outrage only exposes the insincerity at play

We have never treated North as one north. Jonathan never won North West and North East in 2011 but became president by winning the South and North Central.
Tinubu never won the North East and North West. He only won in South West and North Central and now he is the president.
My question again is:
Who are the North that is angry with Tinubu?
Is it North West, North East or North Central?
Is it Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Ebira, Tiv, Jukun, Idomas etc?

WHO ARE THE NORTH?

Fujiyama:
^^^
Nonsense.

This is what some politicians hear and believe. It doesn't usually end well for them.

BAT is only a man. He is only a man and don't you ever forget that.

Bat is not just a man. He is first among equals.
He is ahead of them all.
I ask again, 'Who are the North?'

stuffs2002:
The thing weak me ooooo.
Igbos/OBIDIENTS are the ones telling us that the north have rejected Tinubu.

And they have been unable to define 'which north' for us.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

I keep asking, "Who are the North?"
Is it Hausa or Fulani or Tiv or Idomas or Kanuri or Ebira or Igala or Jukun etc.
Again
Who are the North rejecting TINUBU?

Una go just open mouth talk North this North that as if there is One North.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Some people are already wailing that Ogoniland now has a university in their name.
Ogoni people and South South, know ur enemies by name. They were also angry with the Lagos Calabar coastal highway.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Everytime North, North, North.
Who are the North that are always complaining even to the level of CBN?
Is it Hausa or Fulani or Kanuri or Ebira or Jukun or Barutin or Igala or Tiv or Idomas etc?
Who are the North?
Have the North ever been One?
Have they always voted as One?
Nobody here is moved by North this North that because North does not exist. They always vote in different direction.

SheikhMuniru:
Prophets are highly esteemed figures due to their spiritual capability to predict future events.

Their insights, interpretations, and revelations are viewed as sacred because of the powerful potential for accurate fulfillment.

However, when prophecies consistently fail to materialize as promised, they can be more aptly characterized as disingenuous claims or ‘commercial prophecies.’

In light of his recurring failures to accurately predict political outcomes, one can’t help but question whether Primate Babatunde Ayodele predictions genuinely originate from divine inspiration or if they are simply reinterpretations of ongoing political chatter.

On several occasions, his forecasts seem to align closely with insights typically offered by seasoned political analysts and party insiders, which raises doubts about their authenticity.

His prophecies have undeniably garnered him a large following among churchgoers, leading to an intriguing inquiry: does the divine grant him daily insights, or is he merely a political cleric whose fervor for the altar overshadows a desire for political influence?

Remarkably, he has missed the mark in more than ten notable predictions, with one of the most absurd miscalculations being his forecast about a football match: he confidently asserted that Liverpool would triumph over Luton Town, only for the match to remain unresolved well before the final whistle blew, exposing the flaw in his prediction.

One of Ayodele’s recent high-profile predictions came just before the U.S. Presidential election. On 29th September, less than two months before Americans went to the polls, he issued a bold prophecy, stating that Vice President Kamala Harris would emerge victorious.

Through a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin Ayodele asserted that the 2024 U.S. election would mirror some of the controversies seen in African elections, including vote-buying and intimidation tactics.

‘The American election will be very tough and will take another dimension,” Ayodele declared. “They will play the kind of politics we see in Africa; there will be vote-buying, intimidations, and things that haven’t happened before will begin to take place.”

He went further, confidently predicting that if the election took place, “Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s. Trump will be another disaster for the world, and if there is an election today, he will fail.”

Ayodele also warned that if Trump lost, he might attempt to incite protests and unrest in the United States, saying, “He must be careful.”

However, the reality of the election unfolded quite differently. Contrary to Ayodele’s prophecy, Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory, leaving many to wonder if Ayodele’s declaration had ever been divinely inspired. With such a glaring misstep, it becomes evident that Ayodele’s prediction was far from accurate. This significant blunder brings into question the nature and origin of his so-called prophecies.

Did God truly reveal the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election to Ayodele? The answer appears to be a resounding ‘no.’ Instead, Ayodele’s prediction seems to fit the warning outlined in Deuteronomy. This was not a revelation from above but rather the words of a prophet speaking presumptuously, casting doubt upon his self- proclaimed divine insight

Below are eight failed prophecies he had made among several others

1. Kamala Harris not Donald Trump would win US election in 2024

Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s. Trump will be another disaster for the world, and if there is an election today, he will fail.”

RESULT: Contrary to Ayodele’s prophecy, Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory

2. Anti-corruption war will backfire

Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele said that Nigerians should not expect President Muhammadu Buhari to achieve much in the anti-corruption war.

RESULT: The anti-corruption body EFCC have been more active under Buhari’s administration, with with many prominent Nigerians and leaders currently investigated for collecting huge sums of money from the Office of the ex-National Security Adviser , Sambo Dasuki.

3. Liverpool will beat Luton more than two goals

He said: “Liverpool will beat Luton very well. Liverpool will beat them with more than two goals.”

RESULT: Liverpool struggled and required a last-minute goal to secure a 1-1 draw with Luton. Despite having 23 attempts at goal, Liverpool failed to convert many of their chances.

4. Glory of Lagos APC fading

"The glory of Lagos APC is fading except the party hierarchy makes hasty restitution otherwise time is not on their side as regards the governorship election. They have committed a blunder with the choice of Akinwunmi Ambode as governorship candidate. Only prayer can change the tide.

RESULT: The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode was declared the winner of the April 11 election.

5. Ebola will come back

The prophet asked Nigerians to pray against recurrence of Ebola in Nigeria in the year, saying there will be fresh cases of Ebola in the year while calling on those in the health sector to double their efforts.

RESULT: Since the WHO’s representative in Nigeria officially declared Nigeria to be Ebola free on 20 October 2014, Nigeria remained free from the epidemic.

6. Boko Haram will bomb South-west

“I see flames from bombings in several parts of the country, including the South-West and more abduction of school pupils

RESULT: The Islamist sect is yet to carryout any attack in South-west, Nigeria

7. Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019.

In January 2013, he predicted that God showed him Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019.

RESULT: Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated and he also made a phone call to congratulate President Buhari even before the final results were announced.

8. Jega will let Nigerians down

‘I predicted that (former Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Prof Maurice) Iwu will be removed and it came to pass. Let me tell you categorically that (Prof Attahiru) Jega does not have a solution to election rigging in Nigeria. Jega will disappoint Nigerians’

RESULT: The direct opposite happened, Prof. Attahiru Jega performed exceptionally well and conducted one of the most credible election in the history of the country.

Changing it now will have no effect on what is going on in Lagos.
More still to come.

ddippset:
Buhari did NC, NE and NW.

Tinubu is doing SW, SW and SW.

I just pity some my0pic South South people who keep on praising Tinubu for "revenging" what Buhari did to the South.

Why pity them?
They are feeling the impact of the government beyond appointment and they are grateful.
So, why pity a grateful person?
You can't here people from Southern Kaduna or North Central complaining because they are all grateful for what they have seen.
We know where the complaints are coming from both in the South and in the North.

Afonja007:
My problem is not about Tinubu my problem is what next non yoruba president will do

There is no need to be concerned.
We are self sufficient and know how to hold our governors and chairmen and legislators to account. Na them go drag the balls of the next northern president who by the way we will give overwhelming support. E no get choice but to dance to our turn though we no go dey compete with him region.
