I don't want Asiwaju to have an easy victory, it's not a good look for our democracy. However, the oppositions are not providing serious challenges to the leading party.

HacheNoire:
We might not be in same page politically, but I must confess that, I really love your insight and your ability to confront matters realistically.

These minions don’t know plays and just chasing shadows!

Like I said before
The worst case scenario would be he was found guilty which most Nigerians like you already assumed.
It still won't change the outcome of the erection, it'll only create a buzz or mass hysteria and it's definitely gonna blow over.
I really hope the opposition has better cards up their sleeves because this can't be their only play.

Let's see if the DOJ would release the file
Fingers crossed 🤞

Boomyvig:
If you think in system, you know uncertainty can humble people where they least expected it.

Those conditions you listed are too basic. In circumstances like this one, you may see 30 and more conditions possible each with severe consequences to undermine public trust and integrity capable of shaping the law unprecedented and causing Tinubus removal from office.

You think those people fighting to have the record release don’t already know what’s in there ? And the level of damage it potentially can cause Tinubu? And why do you think Tinubu is actively doing everything to conceal the record ? Dey play.

Let's assume he was found guilty, how's that going to change the outcome of the coming erection (pun intended) ?
Will that automatically disqualify him from the contest ?
What will be the position of the Nigerian court ? we are a sovereign nation after all.
The case has been concluded three decades ago!!!

I hope this is not a distraction for the opposition.

Now this is how an opposition party is supposed to act, tell us what you'll do differently ?
Not just telling us the government is bad and you know how to cut grass, provide alternate perspective.
I fully support the removal of fuel subsidy though.

Exactly my point, it's your private business. If you want to rear cattles, buy land and do it like every other law abiding citizens.

sultaan:
Every Nigerian is equal.

I had to take millions of naira to go into another state and community to buy land for my farm.

I can ranch cattle on the farm why can't everyone else go do the same for whatever livestock

I watched the video, it says it's about preventing open grazing, do the Enugu people openly graze cattles ? We both know the people doing that.

I don't know any Enugu person that has ever done that, they probably rear cattles but to say the Enugu people are the major beneficiary is being economical with the truth.

I hope it works for them.

Mrexcell:
The enugu govt is just doing their job of creating the enabling environment for profitable cattle business to thrive watch the video and hear from the enugu govt official explaining in details how everything will eventually work out even if enugu indigens are not naturally into the cattle business they can always go into the business once the enugu govt has successfully established the modern ranch where private investors can come in to invest. The cattle business is quite very huge and very profitable.

How Tinubu take enter the matter na him still dey surprise me 😂 😂 😂

Parachoko:
So you're scared to face your master SSA who's boldly attacking the Agulu Fraud?

For Nigeria, nah Una fear and respect the Fulanis pass

It might be used as a template for other states in the South, that's what I'm worried about.

smileyoo:
you are typical selfish Nigerian, possesed with the evil spirit of nigerianism.
you have agreed it's a rubbish, yet you want the rubbish to be heaped upon your own brothers at Enugu, believing that it will not affect you, but you are wrong because it will surely affect you in many ways that you least expected.
unchecked evils has no boundaries !

I'm from Eti-Osa and I'm not from Enugu but I'm curious about the data.
What is the percentage of the Enugu people that are into cattle rearing ?
Cattle rearing is a private business, just like fishery, farming, piggery, fishery and the likes.
I hope the data shows and justify the 11,000 hectares of land being allocated for cattle rearing, a personal business venture.

If it's actually about job creation, we should see the data that shows the Enugu people are into this business.

Mrexcell:
It's intented to create thousands of new jobs and business opportunities.

Cattle rearing is a personal business, I see no reason the government should fund such project. Nigeria is not the only country where private citizens rear cattles, so why should it be any different ?
I hope the government will also provide the same amount of funding for private citizens rearing pigs, fishes and dogs.
Most Enugu folks I know are into buying and selling and mostly commerce. What percentage of Enugu people are into cattle rearing ?


We need the data because this might be used as a template for other States.

11,000 hectares is a huge chunk of land

The rate these our blodas are crashing out on social media over Imole reaffirming his endorsement for Asiwaju, you would think we had a national election already 😂😂😂

Baba Adeleke way win election don talk say him go for Asiwaju, why una still dey crash out, were you expecting him to endorse someone else
😂 😂 😂

Selective amnesia 😂 😂 😂 😂
Mostly associated with people who have undergone a form of trauma like the last erection
😂 😂 😂 😂

Burob:
Just how many months ago, when Dino Melaye was praising Gringory Obi for coming to associate with them in the ADC?

These are the so called opposition parties, President Obi, Dino Maleye, Honorable Minister of Information.

Profession by political demands
Grass-cutter
Airplane toilet cleaner
Server

More characters needed 😂

They are easily manipulated because they're quite emotional just like their principal. When Deji said Atiku and Agbotikuyo should work together, then Seun during his interview (even though partisan) asked who should step down for who ?
They were expecting him to say Agbotikuyo, but if the man had said Agbotikuyo it would appear as though he endorsed Atiku and if he said Agbotikuyo should step down they would assume he endorsed Atiku.

Deji is really smart. Make he Sha take am easy make These people no go get high BP 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂😂 Aje, dem don see their match…now they call him Tinubu supporter just because he is a Yoruba man but okonkwo their bloda have said worse but they have not called him tilumbu supporter……very predictable and inconsistent people 😂😂😂

The way this man called Deji dey press the neck of Agbotikuyo and his minions, you go think say Dem collect him wife.
The funny thing about the man is that he's even giving advice to their principal and the opposition to work together to defeat Baba Tinubu but Agbotikuyo and his minions hate the truth, they just like being sensationalized.

Deji was exonerated of any wrongdoings in the murder trials but for the sake of sensationalization, they had to bring it up.

Make we beg Oga Deji make him temper justice with mercy on Agbotikuyo 😂

SonOfDSoil01:
obidient always crying victim…..they can’t take quarter of the nonsense they throw at others they have been bitter and calling Tinubu all sort of derogatory names since the lost the election, but once tables turns and their agulu messiah gets paid back in kind they start crying victim…they thought could get away with what they tried with buhari, thinking Yorubas will stay quiet while they insult Tinubu and our leaders…..We won’t be blackmailed and gaslighted, now dem don meet their match…..dem go cry tire

Na only the Oraimo cord traders dey make that statement. The capitalist amongst them know the place to be is the South West.

Okoyeeboz:
One thing I have noticed is that people who make noise about taking their investments away from Lagos are usually poor people who have zero economic value.

When your adversaries are light years ahead of you, you scream blue murder
Did the Yoruba people drag him by the scruff to invest in Lagos ?
The Yorubas are venture capitalist, we believe in open market, it's only rational other logically sound venture capitalist converge here.

mrkings84:
The way Yuruba people dey behave, if there's a way, there won't be any difference between them and south Africans.....

Nawa ooo
E con be like say South East na dead zone
That's the difference between a trader and an entrepreneur.
Traders always think short term profits while entrepreneurs always think long term.
Entrepreneurs and venture capitalist go where they can get the highest and fastest Return on investment.

Bamboozled could also mean confused, throw off and sometimes frustrated, I'm surprised you're still on about this.
CSP - Center for Security Policy (CSP), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank

Testified as an expert witness in federal trial proceedings regarding domestic extremist network connections.

Testified before congressional bodies, including the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee (Subcommittee on the Constitution) and the Canadian Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Defense
I see this conversation might be a rabbit hole
It was nice but all good things must come to an end 😊

IjeBos:
1.) Again, bamboozled was the wrong word choice. It may mean confused, but it's connotation (I'm helping you with new words) is confusion based on trickery.



2.) Now you're getting there. Let's go further.
a.) What is the CISP? What think tank is that and what is their background?
b.) What senior US government officials, members of Congress and state attorneys has he briefed.
c.) What research and writing has he done?

3.) You were bamboozled but not by me.
This is the playbook of the right and people like Ted Cruz.
They trout out some "expert" from some think tank with a name that sounds impressive "Center for Security Policy".
But that expert is generally some nonsensical person willing to say whatever these Right wing nuts want.
But now that that "expert" is spouting "nonsense" in a Congressional Hearing, it gives it gravitas.
The next step is for Ted Cruz to go on TV and say "See, this expert, from this place with this impressive sounding name said _______".
So, now Fox News and other right wing places report "An expert in a Congressional hearing said _________" and further launder the BS.
And then someone like you hears that, doesn't do his/her own due diligence, believes it and regurgitates it like you did here.

4.) I say all this because when I first heard about the hearing days ago it sounded very suspect. So, I went and googled who the guy was.
And not surprising he was what I expected.
Below is Google AI description of the Center for Security Policy.

5.) In fewer words, I have a problem with Ted Cruz pulling this stunt, the BS analyst he used to pull it and people like you who don't use the most basic of critical thinking.

Finally, you admit you've a thing against Cruz, that's understandable but discrediting a renowned analyst because of Cruz's bigotry or bias is what I'm against.

There are several well armed white militia groups within the US like the Patriots front and Active club, if someone or a Demo brings up a report support this notion, it shouldn't matter as long as the report is accurate.

budaatum:
Yes. I do keep bringing different topics, thanks for noticing. Unlike some who's minds might be boxed, mine is outside the town at least.

I do disagree with Ted Cruz because Ted Cruz has a view that is biased to promote this false belief he has. He's like our Enoch Powell, who ranted rivers of blood against black immigrants taking over Britain. We do it in Nigeria too, scaring that Islam is going to take over Enugu, when no one can take my own from worshipping Ogun. But that's not what I have against the anti-Islam rhetoric of Ted Cruz and his like. Just ask ben, he'd tell you his understanding, while mine is not being able to stand the bigotry. It's like Ogun worshippers claiming to take over from Sango worshippers so let's hate each other, which is so unmytribe, apart from my dislike of the control the hatred is designed to engineer.

Fact is, they may well take over, if you are that weak. I mean, seriously? Brotherhood? When China is rising? But to take over they must align with those who help them achieve their goals. Or would you argue the white nationalist don't have wings in both parties like the Brotherhood would? And that's why any one who doesn't want to be taken over should stand up to defend the Constitution of the United States of America instead of letting dump dump all over what makes America great, is what I think, since I doubt you'd wake up one morning and suddenly find the Supreme Court filled with ayatollahs of course, a fear I'd think is irrational.

Incidentally, I got to a paragraph in Deng Ming Dao's Chronicles of Tao. It's the middle one.

If you feel minute with the fact that I used certain words, I think you're far from the point. FYI, Bamboozled also means confused, if you don't know that then you need to upgrade your diction.

Kyle Shideler was called to testify as an expert witness based on his specialized focus in policy research, threat analysis, and long-standing focus on domestic and foreign ideological networks.

He serves as the Director and Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a Washington, D.C.

He has routinely briefed senior U.S. government officials, members of Congress, state attorneys general, and federal/local law enforcement agencies on extremist networks and counterterrorism strategies.

Shideler has spent over a decade researching, writing, and analyzing the operational structures, history, and doctrines of Islamist groups and front organizations operating within the United States.

In fewer terse, you don't have a problem with the report, what you've a problem with is TEd Cruz.

IjeBos:
1.) Bamboozled is the wrong word choice. The connotation is wrong for your usage. You meant 'confused' but I'm sure you wanted to sound grandiloquent but instead chose the wrong word.

2.) Most Psychologists are licensed and have professional and educational qualifications. Is a "counterterrorist analyst" licensed? Again, what makes him someone I should listen to? What made him someone you chose to listen to?
I think the premises of one of our arguments is flawed and it's not mine.

3.)No, I have an issue with someone posting nonsense just because another nonsense individual said something and called himself an authority on it.
Let's try it this way:
I'm a "people who aren't real counterterorrist analyst" analyst. And I'm telling you that he is mostly bullshit.
Now since I've crowned myself an analyst in this, what I say is Gospel right?
Make sense to you now?

I'm still bamboozled by the first paragraph of your argument. I'll attempt to draw similarities by making it simpler:
It's like saying what expertise or authority does a psychologist have in relations to mental health. I believe you can see the premise of your argument is deeply flawed.
I'll reiterate, I don't think you and the other guy have an issue with the report except the fact that Ted Cruz was mentioned in the conversation.

IjeBos:
So what gives this "counterterrorist analyst" an expertise, authority or any credibility in this field that I should take his word as Gospel or even believe what he says?
I'm sure you researched him right?

If Ted Crux brings a witness to the table, that says something dubious like this, you can take it to the bank it's most likely a mal actor.

Again, you keep bringing different topics not remotely connected to the current discourse.

I think what you disagree with here is Ted Cruz and not what the counterterrorism analyst had to say.

budaatum:
Are you not bewildered by you own singular view?

Below is what Ted said.

“I held a hearing today in which experts established that the Muslim Brotherhood and DSA communists are [i]united by a shared hatred of America, Israel, Western civilization, capitalism, and democracy, and a revolutionary objective to overthrow the U.S. Constitution,” Cruz said on X.[/i]

Some said the exact same thing here about dump. After all, his Jan6 insurrection was damaging to Western civilization, and capitalism, and democracy, and was a revolutionary objective to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. Do you agree with this view?

I'm utterly bewildered by your singular perspective.

budaatum:
Whoever made it had an agenda to push and I'm not buying.

Again you're misdirecting the conversation, was it Ted cruz who made the claim or a counterterrorism analyst ?

budaatum:
I think you just don't understand my argument, though I admit I haven't made it yet.

When some hear what you fear here which is what makes Cruz demonise others (apart from the fact he receives money to say what he says), some remember it was done to the Japanese, done to some Jews, done in Guantanamo Bay, and therefore discourage the demonisation of others before one is done to.

But I must suppose you might have never personally experienced being done after, and perhaps I should read you with that in mind. Do correct me please.

You're argument is flawed because it was Cruz asking the questions, the analyst only answered.
The red green alliance will bring about the end of America itself from within.

budaatum:
I personally wouldn't call a "report" what Ted Cruz says since I'm fully aware of his political bias. It's like believing Tinubu when he 'reports' that he has dealt with insecurity in Nigeria.

Just let her plead the Fifth 😂 😂 😂

basilico:
Stop being in impervious to opposing thought.A broken clock is right twice a day. Bens post is 100% accurate.

Fauci as head of NIAD and a lead researcher with several patents to his name directly controlled where funds for research would go..It was your money that helped engineer the virus . That should make you mad .
I'll write a post defending Fauci whole mig defending him.

There are reports indicating that the DSA is in bed with the Muslim brotherhood, a terrorist organization banned even in Saudi Arabia.

If the US as a country is going to crumble, it'll definitely happen from within.

I have never seen a bunch people hate their country and what it stands for this much like Americans.

You're right some states have absolutely no right to be in darkness.
Imagine a state like Enugu with all it coal deposit. That State should be supplying power to neighboring states.

Mrexcell:
Nice one from elumelu delta state actually have no reason to be in darkness with their huge gas deposits and wealthy men they have in the state that can invest in power generation if abia can do it there's absolutely no reason why delta can't do even better.

Is this your first general election as a Nigerian ?
It's common knowledge there's restrictions of movement especially inter-state and vehicular movement, pedestrians are exempted.
All land borders are also closed on the day of general election.
No governor has the power to declare curfew on General election day, the power rests on the IG and in coordination with INEC.

43Ronin:
This is how they will rig the 2027 election. The state police bill will be passed. on the election day, the 32 governors will declare curfew then state & federal police will be there to "execute" the curfew. So after voting at your ward, you cannot follow the ballot box to collation centre. Its at the collation centre that the grand rigging will happen

The opposition parties are in a state of confusion, why bring this up now ?
I thought people said Agbotikuyo left ADC because of Tinubu, so why are they talking of a coalition now ?
Obi's people need to learn to stop chasing shadows and stop making it easy for the ruling party.
I hope Obi disagrees to step down for Atiku 😂
