So Atiku cannot support Obi or any Southerner?

It has to be Southerners supporting Atiku.

Atiku 2031....Let me go and start branding my shirt and face caps.

Trevor012:
Oga izzou are you supporting Atiku? The last time we spoke you said you wouldn't vote obi because of Atiku and others in ADC.

I am talking about those who hold in high esteem.

Dem say Atiku na Dembele nau. Make e win since, na him be all in all

Atiku has the North on lockdown, so Amaechi just needs to win little of the South

That's all.

Amigoos1:
NDC= Obi and Kwankwaso

ADC= Atiku and Amaechi

Hopefully Atiku wins since he has the force

Theflint1:
Or what's the point of preaching a doctrine of salvation when God has already determined who'd go to hell or not.

A very funny statement.

At a time when you should be advocating for people to participate in elections, you are telling them that God has already decided the winner.

Make we no kuku vote then

Theflint1:
The thing about a woman not knowing how to cook is often less about her not knowing how to cook, but more about whatever else it signals about her as a person/ her upbringing.

I am not saying we should investigate why a grown up woman can't cook.

I am simply saying that it cannot be the first and primary criterion for marriage.

There are many pointers to look out for before committing your entire life and loyalty to someone. That's what I find wrong with that statement

A40:
I'm not a difficult person to cook for. Give me protein (Chicken,Lamb,Goat,Steak and season it. E no pass like that) Put pepper for my food. E no pass like that cos for starters I don't even like most traditional Nigerian meals. SS/SE soup always has to have some seafood and I don't like seafood. Name the seafood I don't eat it. Most of the soups I eat na Egusi, efo riro wey no too need am.

How can a woman love you and not be interested in cooking food you like? A woman that wants to be with you everyday but she no wan cook and is not ready to try? Which kin akpuruka love be that one? Wetin even be una criteria for love

I have met a Serbian woman and Nigerian man who cooks food from both countries for her man. Iranian woman and Naija man, same thing. There is a popular babe on twitter Nwanyi Ocha. Swiss woman and cooks for her husband

I go come choose person wey no fit cook?? Please oh I have a praying mother

You're still mixing it up.

I cannot cook
I don't want to cook

Na two different scenarios be that.

I have a praying mother was funny sha

User09:
I see.

Then I'm on your side. It's a skill issue not a recalcitrant one

That's my point, Chief

This thing is a skill issue.

A40:
It's humanly impossible to not be able to cook any food after a certain amount of repetition. I asked what she was doing from puberty to adulthood that she cannot cook at all. It's either she is a Nepo baby (a lot of them can actually cook) or a wannabe baddie. If she's the latter no problem let's break her pockets, if she's a struggle baddie. What's her use?

A woman that does not care about her nutrition and that of her partner and potentially offspring is a red flag to me.

Your profile is your profile e no really bother me, I'm just telling you that a woman that cannot cook the chances of her meeting that your profile just based on probability is very low

One more question please, before I rest my case

Say...

You meet a beautiful Canadian girl. She loves you, and she's everything you have always looked out for, but she cannot cook, especially your Nigerian meals.

Do you?
1) Automatically end the relationship
2) Find a way to see it work?

A40:
Cooking is one of the criterion. A woman's inability to cook does not guarantee a successful marriage either so bragging and making it a personality flex that your wife cannot cook is not what we should normalize

For one food just like sex is engine oil that makes romantic relationship run smoothly. There is a reason families of old used to sit together on the dining table for dinner

Meals prepared inhouse with love hits different than ordering Chowdeck every day.

Cooking is a love language (Acts of service) What I'm telling you is that a woman that will not cook is most likely lacking in the other aspects that make a good wife

He did not say "Not Cook".

He said " Cannot cook"

These are two different things. Someone can prepare Egusi and it's not delicious....That's a "Cannot cook" right there

So after looking at her life and she fits my profile, I should leave her because of Daddy GO's recommendation?

User09:
I'm sorry I'm getting lost here.

Is it a woman that cannot cook i.e a bad/terrible cook or

A woman that doesnt believe in cooking - i.e she believes it isnt a woman's sole responsibility to cook in a family or marriage.

Think I'm seeing both being mixed up

A woman that cannot cook...ie bad/terrible cook

A40:
Let's think logically here. Knowing the importance of food and the fact that it is literally a medicine. What is the likelihood a woman that cannot cook for her husband and children will possess those better virtues you are speaking about

I don't know. Infact, I don't think I have met a lady that cannot cook. The worst I have seen is "I don't like cooking", not tht they cannot cook.

But if any man's primary criterion for marriage is cooking, then he should save the contact of Divorce attorneys for future use.

The ones divorcing here and there, did you hear them say food was the problem?

How does a man of God say Cooking is the primary requirement for a wife?

I don't need to go further. That's his opinion, and if you see it as good, that's okay. I just cannot see how someone will base a serious commitment as marriage on Cooking

raumdeuter:
God already knows who will win the league between Arsenal and Man city.

So should they just stop playing the game

You are already saying what I am saying.

He should have also shared the name with us, so we can save Nigerians trillions of naira in electoral funds

raumdeuter:
Cooking does not stop loyalty. One of the criteria of a monogamous marriage is loyalty. You cant even call it a marriage without loyalty

Its like saying I Can't drive a car that doesnt have AC and your rebuttal is that what if the car doesnt move.

You wont even call it a car if it doesnt move

Now put this your reasoning inside Daddy GO's statement.

Can you see that it doesn't make sense?

There are far more better virtues to look out for in marriage, than making Cooking your priority

Theflint1:
Saying God knows who will win the elections and the winner of the elections will be decided by God are two different things.

I wonder!

I would have asked him if we should vote or not.

raumdeuter:
Adeboye did not say you should ignore the other part too but that primary one is a must

Its like a woman saying I cannot marry a man who wont work and you are asking that there should be other factors. Yes there can be other factors but the man working is a standard

Between Loyalty and Cooking, which would you choose?

Between a hardworking lady, and a good cook, which would you choose?

Odiegwu

Sorry I cannot quote everyone who mentioned me.

My point is that Cooking can not and should not be a primary reason to choose a wife.

It's a skill that can be learnt.

So if I find a woman that loves me, is resourceful, loyal and willing to be with me forever, but cannot cook, make I leave am abi?

Cooking is a skill that can be learnt. If a woman cannot cook, but fits your profile, why not see how to make it work?

The ones wey dey divorce up and down, na cooking be the complain?

His advice is rubbish, and well it is his opinion.

Is there anywhere I can get audio messages of Pastor Oluremi Tinubu?

raumdeuter:
What is off about asking a man not to marry a woman who cant cook?

Traditionally in every culture its the woman who does the bulk of the cooking. What is off about advising men not to marry a woman who cant perform her traditional responsibility?

Would it be strange to hear that women should not marry a lazy man who doesnt want to work?

Or what's off about it

So the primary criterion of choosing a wife is to cook?

Abeg, no let me drag this man, because your comment fit make me offend people here.

chrisooblog:
Atiku without federal might won more northern states than PBAT that used muslim/muslim to garner votes. Even beating Tinubu in strong APC states like Katsina (Buhari's backyard) and Kaduna.

Governors in the north as powerful as they are don't have enough clout (even though they will try) to sway a populace determined to vote one way or the other.

Like Dayo highlighted Northern voters are not exactly chummy with PBAT at the moment so there's no way he will garner huge swathes like 2023. The only question mark I have with Atiku is if he can get fanatical votes like Buhari.

Atiku without Federal might?

Lol...Will he now have "Federal Might" in 2027?

I think your comment is dishonest.

Instead of saying "Atiku with Governors and Senators in his party won more states..." , you're saying "Without Federal Might".

Was Obi given Federal Might when he scored his own 6 million?

1 Corinthians 1:18

The words of the cross is considered foolishness to unbelievers

To be a supporter of any religion there are doctrines and beliefs that will sound foolish to regular people

He has been saying a lot of statements that are very off to me. Maybe na old age.

In the same sermon, he said no man should marry a woman who can't cook.

I don't know, but.......

raumdeuter:
For 2027 who will you support?

I am telling you this as a BAT supporter. I fear Atiku the most especially if he pairs with Obi

By 2031 that will be the time of Shetimma Ribadu Kwankwanso El Rufai or whoever the North decides. Then Atiku will be too old

Shebi Atiku will run alone?

Someone had all the PDP structures in the North, he pulled 6 million +

Today, all those structures have moved to APC....I mean all, but na Atiku go win by default.

Tinubu has the North sealed. He will flog craze out of ADC or NDC or anybody.

So anyone telling me Atiku had the North sealed, obviously supports BAT.

CrystalTiger:
Peter Obi is the face of Nigerian opposition right now...Anybody saying otherwise is just being smart by half..

Lots of Atiku supporters are crashing out online since the rumors of Obi leaving ADC came out when even Obi himself has said nothing..If Obi is inconsequential and Atiku is the best bet, they should be happy that Obi might leave ADC..

No mind them.

If Atiku won't support a Southerner, I am very much willing to live and stay pained with Tinubu there.

raumdeuter:
Its not a strange sentiment or topic

Most religious people believe God knows and has planned the end from the beginning

E.g God knows where you will be and what you will be doing in 10yrs time already, you are just acting the script already written

I found it more to be phooolish, than strange, actually

No disrespect to the man of God though

raumdeuter:
They have to decide what is most important to them

Unseating Tinubu or One person becoming president
Tinubu knew he wanted to be president at some time
If in 2015 Tinubu had instead of collaborating with Buhari to unseat PDP, Tinubu insisted on running on a 3rd party will he be president today?

If they dont sit down and solve it for the best person to challenge Tinubu then at the end of the day none of them will get to that seat

I have no problems with that.

I will gladly and vehemently support Atiku in 2031

I respect Pastor E A Adeboye, but mheeennn

PDPGuy:
Obi/Kwankwanso moving to the NDC may also be connected to the fact that the courts would likely order INEC to deregister the ADC and four other parties that didn’t win a single electoral seat in the 2023-2025 elections.

On the surface, it may look like the AG is acting out a script that was written in Aso Rock for the purposes of stifling the major opposition party. But legally speaking, both the constitution and the Electoral Act mandate INEC to deregister parties that failed to win a single electoral seat. Recall that INEC, in the aftermath of the 2019 elections, deregistered 74 parties for the same reason as well.

But Atiku is also not moving too. Is he unaware of this?

I think they have read the room and seen that Atiku won't let them win.

For Obi - This is his last shot to contest. After now, he would be old and unmarketable
For Kwankwaso - This is a very good opportunity to build his bloc for 2031

chrisooblog:
Atiku by default will win NW and NE. It's only for the margin you can't really say it will be.

From an analytical point do you think NW and NE will vote Obi over Tinubu if Atiku wasn't on the ballot?

Now switch it up would the SS or SE especially vote for Tinubu rather than Atiku if Obi wasn't on the ballot?

I disagree with the at least 50% margin you gave Obi for NC. A lot of the votes LP got then was the whole muslim/muslim APC will marginalize Christians talk which will be harder to repeat now.

Atiku just has to be competitive in the SS and SE winning one or both then make sure he carries NW and NE with a landslide (admittedly it will be difficult).

For Obi the path is much harder. Best case scenario for him is winning SE handsomely and slightly edging SS and for argument sake NC. He's definitely losing SW Lagos included NW and NE very badly. Kwankwaso is a local champion whose influence don't pass Kano State.

Like Dayo said if removing PBAT is the main aim then Atiku is your guy.

Did Atiku win the NW and NE by default in 2023?

Please check and kindly get back to me.

With all the governors, Senators in PDP, when did he win it by default?

Atiku will struggle much more than 2023, and that's just facts. With all the defections, how many crossed to ADC in the North because of Atiku?

No governor, no senator, but somehow he will win by default... Odiegwu

Whatever Obi has is what he has. He also is the biggest Southerner contesting with Tinubu. If Atiku won't support him, he should wait till 2031. I will personally campaign for him

raumdeuter:
The fact is that only Atiku can beat Tinubu.

Obi has to decide which is more important to him,

Removing Tinubu in 2027 or him Becoming president in 2027

If its removing Tinubu then Atiku is the best option for that with Obi being his deputy after which he can now ascend to president after Atikus tenure

If its Obi becoming president in 2027, that cannot happen

If they split the coalition its another 2023 election only that now Tinubu will win by even more and Obi will get even less votes than before.

What Tinubu will want is for 3 candidates ro split opposition votes

How is Atiku going to beat Tinubu when he has only one state to deliver (Bauchi)?

Oyo is already Tinubu, so abeg which region will he deliver?

With Obi, the SE and North Central will submit at least 50%.

So please tell me where Atiku has any edge over Tinubu?

BlueRayDick:
Dangote just dey increase pump price of fuel dey go. Na a whole N75 he add to pump price just last week at once.

Everywhere just silent as people don resign to their fate.

2027 is the only priority for now

My customer just paid 1 million to convey his items from Edo to Owerri. That was the cheapest we could find.

Segedinho:
I heard they planned consensus at the ibadan meeting instead of the open primary.
Summary of the dispute

And Peter Obi was actually the one pushing for direct primary oh and they wanted to push the agenda that “Peter Obi wants a free ticket to be handed to him on a platter”.

Agenda sha. 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/C5fAnQ4g4o

If Atiku Abubakar cannot support any Southerner, he should run alone.

No wahala.

We wish him the best in all his endeavors

raumdeuter:
Is it true that Obi and Kwankwanso are leaving ADC to form another coalition inside coalition ni

https://www.nairaland.com/8664039/kwankwaso-convenes-stakeholder-meeting-set

I don't see why any Southerner should be angry with this.

The South has only 4 years left. Why is Atiku forcing himself into it?

I have said it before that I don't understand why Obi went to the ADC with him. Maybe na Atiku sef dey work for Tinubu.

The PDP leverage and structure he had in 2023 is all gone. Only one governor in the whole of Southern Nigeria. So automatically, Atiku will not win one single Southern state in 2027, if he runs alone.

Let Obi and Kwankwaso move. Let him run alone. Nothing spoil

See CFA discussing so knowledgeably about sports shoes designed specifically for running, jogging and walking and showing off his impressive collection.

I am sure many of us in Nigeria cannot relate because na the same canvas we dey take waka, jog and even run.
