They're hungry in my eyes. Of course everything is subjective. What you consider enjoyment might be hunger to me.

larride:
He did Anti party in 2023, they were waiting for him ni.

TemporaryHansel:
When he says money used to flow he is very correct. It was flowing very very well, it was felt in every corner. Even people in opposition benefited, only complain they can give is that they didn't benefit as much as those actually in PDP. Anybody that says money didn't flow to his or her side during PDP time omo it means that person was really at the bottom of all bottom of the cadre oh.

Now this APC regime, money is flowing but only to people at the top. Even chieftains of the party are struggling lowkey, not to talk of regular members.
There's as much money as the PDP days, just that it's not as evenly distributed as before. These days you have to be a senior party official or elected official to really enjoy. Meanwhile back in the days of PDP even ordinary ward chairmen were enjoying, today APC ward chairmen are hungry lol.

Wetin be dis?

Why can't Obi contest 2031 too? If Atiku is not respecting South turn then why should Obi

Obi 2031 Spy360 get in there

DeepSight:
Openly for that matter, and even not caring that they are being recorded. That is what is most damning.

larride:
Lol my bro, you are expecting free and fair in primary election?

It's not going to happen in a million years. Who the party wants is who will emerge either by hook or crook.

larride:
No northerner should've contested in 2023 and this upcoming 2027. It's just the born to rule mentality that they have the votes to make themselves President.

Roland17:
Our Nigerian politicians are rare breeds I swear.

What exactly was Amaechi expecting? What is with the wailing and grinding of teeth?

He seriously thought he'd beat Atiku in the primaries?

Even in a free and fair popularity contest, does Amaechi think he will beat Atiku in the North to clinch the ticket?

Beorn:
Exactly!!

GloriousGbola:
I did not say anyone should step down for anyone else.

I said no one in the running is willing to step down.

A lot of negotiation and horse trading must have gone down in 2014 when cpc and acn merged. And bat anticipated and planned for atiku and his dollar primary.

No one in this is prepared to do the hard work. Then again seeing as Buhari did his best to stab tinubu in the back and how team atiku stabbed Wike in the back, it is much harder for anyone to agree to step down or step aside because there are no guarantees

Buhari started backstabbing immediately he entered that office.

Beorn:
The truth is that opposition parties haven't gotten their acts together and it's a darn shame. By now, they'd have dropped their egos or greed and unite under a singular consensus southern candidate but one of the reason such will never happen is because of Atiku's generational greed and insane quest for power.

At this point, I'd rather Tinubu continues his disastrous reign than for Atiku to smell that seat because he's greedy and selfish.

This is a man that has been pursuing power and participating in presidential primaries when most of these current politicians were just staring off.

A man whose greed and bad timing has destroyed his chances of being the president of this country.

A man who wanted to dispose his boss just to be the president.

A man who lacks patience or the political sagacity to get his dream true.

A man who destroyed PDP during Jonathan era when he formed the nPDP and joined APC to ruin his party simply because he thought he'd clinch APC presidential candidate ticket. When that failed, what did he do? He ran back to PDP he used and dumped and bribe his way to win the presidential candidate ticket despite his betrayal.

A man that Obi deputized for when it was North's turn to rule but when it was South's turn, the same greedy f*o*o*l refused to allow South enjoy their time, instead destroying PDP with this power tussle with Wike.

Now he's formed ADC with the greedy and cunning motive of getting Obi to join him after he had perfected a way to clinch the party presidential ticket since, so Obi will have no choice but to deputize for him again so he can run on Obi's new found fame and political goodwill, to win the election because Obi and the rest of the politicians were raised to help him fulfill his greedy ambition.

If at his age, Atiku does not know that nothing short of a united opposition will unseat Bola, where he'd step back and back a southern candidate, he is a disappointment. He cannot learn from the last election, that means he is unteachable by anyone, including the universe.

GloriousGbola:
What you are missing in the equation is simple - this is first and foremost about chasing power and no one in the running is willing to cede to anyone else.

BlueRayDick:
It just seem Nigerian governors are fantastically wicked with the way they come up with these white elephant projects to siphon money from their respective states especially once they are in their second term.

There's no justification for that Bayelsa airport at all.

I know we have people who believe we have infrastructure deficit as a country o, but I don't think absence of airport should be counted as infrastructure deficit.

BlueRayDick:
I never knew Bayelsa had an airport(International Airport at that ) until today.

An international airport that has just two airlines flying that route; Ibom Air (Abuja - Bayelsa) and United Nigeria Airlines( Abuja- Bayelsa, Lagos-Bayelsa).

What's this craze with every state building airport at all cost? Can't they use these monies to develop other sectors of their local economy?

As small as Bayelsa state is, if they put the money used to construct the airport in 2019 to develop other sectors of the state economy, I believe the people will be better off for it instead of Airport that people hardly use due to close proximity with Rivers state. Now dem don float airline again.

BlueRayDick:
😂

If Obi talk same thing now, dem go use one full month to tell us how Obi Wan scatter opposition by being too egocentric thinking he's too big to be Atiku's VP

BlueRayDick:
That's why I say u must really have time to try reasoning with someone like Elder who is clearly disillusioned and obsessed with Obi.

He somehow thinks Obi is a threat to Atiku's life long ambition of becoming the president of this country. The only thing that will pacify him is for Obi to accept to be Atiku's vice and somehow use "juju" to command his supporters to cast their vote for Atiku who has been rejected by the electorate since 1992/93 general elections.

He never has problem with other southern candidates who have chosen to distance themselves from Atiku the unsellable product.

larride:
1. If I remembered correctly, I once posted here that Tinubu and Cardoso are intentionally keeping the exchange rate at that 1300 - 1400 range to enable them actually fund the budget. Personally I feel a stronger naira means cheaper dollars and that's why they celebrate it.

2. It's in terms of Naira equivalent, the dollar equivalent is most likely the same or even lesser. It's also why I don't parrot that nonsense anymore because when you factor in the increase in price of most goods and services due to the exchange rate, you will see it cancel out wherever increase in FAAC allocation that they get.

BlueRayDick:
U get time to dey try reason with person wey get obsession with Obi sha.

If he sleep dey see masquarade for dream sef, na Obi surely dey under the masqurade.

TemporaryHansel:
A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for Tinubu. I don't play emotional and childish politics like obidients . When will you guys wake up?

TemporaryHansel:
Sowore has more credibility than Peter Obi sha.

If Tinubu wins the 2027 presidential election, no obidient should ever complain about APC again, and Peter Obi should forget about that presidency because he'll never smell it.

You know this man can't be unseated without everybody coming together and yet you keep scattering everything by going on your own. If he thinks he's too big to be VP to Atiku why not contest against him and win him in a primary? You can't win the guy but you want him to win and handover to you. Peter Obi is a traitor working for Tinubu.

BlueRayDick:
I think u Don see am.

When we want to make claim Governors have more money to spend, nobody Remembers exchange rate and time value of money.

But when we talk about the government's borrowing going over the roof, everybody suddenly have degree in Finance with specialization in Time value of money 🚶‍♂️
