Ned cannot beat Okowa in a primary. That is the end of it.

People online seem to think because Ned is a moneybag he can win, but these things don't work like that. If the stakeholders don't fvck with you, no amount of money will help you.

Ned decamped from PDP to APC because he feared Okowa will contest for the Senate seat and he knows he can't contest against Okowa and win, only for Okowa to defect to APC later, talk about the devil paying you a visit hahaha.
He should've locked up instead of going ahead to disgrace himself by contesting against Okowa.

Okowa is not Peter Nwaoboshi, and some reasons he won was because of Regina daniels popularity by his side and Nwaoboshi himself already fvcked up due to previous decisions he made. Nothing special.

Chai! Pa Nwoko bites the dust

So what happens to his Anioma state?

Ned has been pushing for the creation of an Anioma state, and it should be added to the SE. Okowa supports it, but says it should stay in the SS.

With Okowa going to the Senate, that dream might die off, because the Senate won't add a 7th state for the SS.

TemporaryHansel:
@Akinlot see what I said about this last year around October.

Any specific reason why Ned cannot beat Okowa?

Is it because he has done a lot of years already?

akwesenana:
LoL, I don participate for PDP senatorial primaries for another state before.

Haeeeeww

PDPGuy:
Fellas take note!

Na neeeple my eye dey see?

APC got 8,000 votes in Abia in 2023

Today Orji Uzor Kalu got 60,000 votes an emerged as winner in his Senatorial district.

Only one Senatorial Zone produce 60k votes.

Wonderful!

PDPGuy:
You’ve said it all.

The Delta case is similar to GEJ. Jonathan would be deluding himself if he thinks he has an independent political structure outside of the PDP machine that brought him to power in 2011

raumdeuter:
izzou you no go queue behind Ned Nwoko line?

FLASH: Delta North Senatorial APC primary has commenced in Delta.

The race is between Okowa and Ned Nwoko.

You won’t believe the number of people on the line for Ned😂😂 pic.twitter.com/KqgsedecKP

Pa Nwoko in the mud

Akinlot:
Yes, Apshit

E for stay for PDP nau.

Okowa fit win the primaries oh

APC primaries dey always get more votes than the real election

Na so Chris abi Andy Uba get 240,000 votes for primaries. On election day, e no get 20,000

How can a ward in Delta be producing 12,000 votes?

Ibime:
Any sensible LP winner except those in Abia under Ottis structure should know they are there for one term only and make sure they don't return to poverty after their one term. Anyone fooling themselves otherwise will most likely return to poverty sooner or later cos dem no get sense

They are all going to return to poverty

MorataFC:
Betrayal.
But abeg who is the real betrayal here, is it this man that betrayed LP or Apc party that betrayedthis man?

Nobody betrayed him.

Just like a good player in a Coker Secondary School, who now relocated to Ihiala Secondary School, and wants to automatically become Captain.

Not like, he cannot be Captain, but there's nothing he has done to earn it.

Akinlot:
I can't laugh alone. Politics hard gan

What they are doing to Ned Nwoko is bad ooh pic.twitter.com/DAU9iT1VUi

Ned and Okowa dey the same party?

A teacher was just beheaded over nothing!

God abeg!

BlueRayDick:
So the gist on Twitter is that the Lady in contest with Desmond for APC ticket on Surulere was one of the aspirants that were asked to step down for Desmond in 2022.

She stepped down for him and went ahead to campaign for his relection in 2023.

The picture below is Desmond hugging her to thank her for how she carried his re-election on her head back then. I guess this explains why she said in one of her videos that she expected Desmond to step down for her now like other candidates did.

As it stands, dem go use Desmond wipe ground on Wednesday at the direct primaries across all wards.

He released a video that his security was withdrawn, LG staff supporting him were sacked, blah blah blah.

I would love him to contest sha. Someone has to take the spotlight from Pascal this week.

E never reach time wey there should be a law for the number of tenures you can spend as a legislator?

E be like say Abaribe na Desmond mentor

GloriousGbola:
But why would tinubu be concerned with opportunists with no political experience whatsoever who simply got lucky?

Look at eti osa. For years banky w had been building grassroots support. Obanikoro had been investing in the community - then one nobody with zero investment came out of nowhere in an upset.

Why should you disrupt your existing framework for people who have no political value? If you had put your name up you would likely have won that election with no campaigning. And like Desmond who we have been knocking all this time, they did nothing with their 4 years.

Period!

PDPGuy:
Tinubu is too wicked 🤣😅 He only cares about his and some of his inner circle’s re-election. Everyone else can go pound sand 🙆🏽‍♂️😂

I really don't think this has anything to do with Tinubu for most cases.

Okay, let's look at the Delta guy that was deceived with the time just to rig him out.

He won the 2023 election. Guess who he won against? Ndudi Elumelu.

This guy did not have any supporters. He just bought the LP form, and with the Top to bottom wave, he defeated an incumbent legislator.

He assumed he had political roots, which he doesn't. He then decamped to the same party with the man who you won, has been in politics for decades, and has a supporter base that has been hungry for 4 years because you edged them out.

Abeg, how on earth do you think you can win?

Many of these guys do not think. It is just common sense to either stay where you got your victory.

raumdeuter:
Where you dey when we dey find prophets for APC in 2022

I wasn't anointed and ordained then

BlueRayDick:
Izzou, this is another one!

😂😂😂😂😂

My brother Engr Iyawe Esosa won the Oredo House of Representatives seat through the Peter Obi and Obidient wave in Labour Party.

He subsequently decamped to the APC, now my brother Iyawe is crying.

He say "A lot of my followers were disenfranchised"



He forgot that the followers that gave him victory are not even in APC. Not one. E no even get follower at all.

BlueRayDick:
Yet another one 😂

This is the video of Daniel Asama Ago, who won through Peter Obi’s influencer but decamped to the APC, after pocketing dollars.

In the video, he’s campaigning for Tinubu and his re-election.

It turns out that the APC rigged him out even before the primaries. He’s stranded.✍️ pic.twitter.com/WhvdDFDgUB

Izzou go open church abeg!

Thank you, my Brother.

I have repeatedly written to Raumdeuter to help me with funds for a 1000 seat auditorium, but he has refused.

Na to wear white gown and hold bell, before him go believe say I dey prophetic.

raumdeuter:
Desmond Elliott is about to find out about the love and the connection he made from politics if its real or not

https://www.nairaland.com/8673350/desmond-elliots-campaign-dg-dumps

Baba better jump on the next Netflix or YouTube movie

The ship has sailed

Theflint1:
I agree, his average might be around that range, but I don't think getting 8 figure emcee gigs would be anything completely crazy for one of the top emcees in the country.

Portable last fight with Carter Efe, he said he collected around 40M.

To invite Portable come event, you fit dey hear around 1M or even more sef...these our celebs collect good money, na the lifestyle Dem dey live fit con make them still dey struggle.

I believe the Corporate firms can pay say 8m, but those events are usually once or twice a year.

For weddings, he might be getting less than half of that.

So how many in a year do you think he can pull?

His options are limited, not to talk about the amount he gets

Theflint1:
You don dey add Maggi join simple statement wey e make

How much do you think a guy like Frank, Ebuka or IK charge to emcee, that's on average?

3 to 7 million for a one day event...I might be wrong.

semid4lyfe:
Hin sense of money dey confuse me

1. He said Frank earns eight figures for hosting events.

2. He also said there are schools on the Island that charge 10 - 45k per year.

How na? Theflint1, biko come and explain.

I think we overestimate the earnings of these people

Theflint1:
I'm not sure when Frank and IK had this conversation, but I'm guessing it should be at least a decade ago. As at then Frank was charging 1.5M to emcee events.

Chude: Yourself, Ebuka, Frank Edoho; who’s the best?

IK Osakioduwa: Frank was one of my major influences. He was the best MC in Nigeria. He told me to stop charging N450k and charge N850k.

Maybe it depends on the type of event sha

raumdeuter:
So if you no wan contest primary what do you want?

Just to be handpicked

We are not talking about General election. Just to choose who will represent the party, and see the disgust oozing out of social media.

If Primaries will be free and fair, why not?

But see the shame everywhere.

BlueRayDick:
If you enter twitter this morning , u will just be siring clips of how APC rigged out APC in the just concluded primaries at various ward levels.

Make everybody just give up and accept that APC will rig themselves in at the general elections in 2027. The way they rigged the primaries was just so shameless . 🤦‍♂️

My Brother

The same primaries that they are bullying someone else for not contesting; Na the primaries we dey see so.

From 21,31,50,100
To giving different times for different candidates
To policemen who came to rig, running for their lives.

Na this same primary dem wan use gaslight person as "Weak"

This Same Primary wey I see yesterday!

Theflint1:
Would be surprised if he isn't getting 8 figures for events he hosts.

8 figures like 10,000,000 and above?

Odiegwu....

Impossicant

Obi of Onitsha celebrated his 85th birthday

Abia State Government threw a party for him. Anambra State government no even wish am Happy Birthday, talk more of party.

Traditional stools don't command any respect like before. If a state governor wants to make that post irrelevant, he will.

raumdeuter:
That last statement na him be the koko. Your inflow not matching your outflow.

How long does a 6 figure payout last a celeb like Frank. Most mid level Naija corporate guys dey earn 6 figures a month thats steady, for Frank that might be once in 3 months. Those gigs are also cyclical. More during end of year and AGM seasons.
While BlueRayDick with 6 figure income can enter mamaput, drink beer for local place, enter public transport, enter club without sitting at VIP, Frank cannot before dem start to bring phone say dem see Frank for low budget place
Blueray can manage no name suits, natives and even below quality grooming, Frank has to be on point everytime. Even if na bus stop he dey go

Kingsley Obiekwu dey use car do transport the other day, people don bring the news out. If he's not a strong willed man, shame no go even allow am go that route whereas he might not be making in a year what a no name izzou makes in a month

As a male celebrity people go still dey expect you to spend like in your hey days. They will still be counting which clothes you dey repeat, when last you change your car, your circle of friends wey still dey make am go dey put subtle pressure on you. Lets go for this vacation, let's go for this and that. If their own pocket carry am your own fit no carry am

I saw one video of Ginuwine on IG recently where people in comments were just laughing at him. Person wey be tier 1 fine boy for the industry that year. Almost all the female celebrities of his generation are still richer than him. The day I saw Ginuwine poster as a performer in a Nigerian after hour club na him I know say things dey rugged for men especially celeb wey money no dey flow for again.

That celeb life it gives you a lot but also demands so much from you

Things dey very rugged for men oh, especially if you wan hustle legitimately.
