Maybe just maybe if they both lose out
The reasonable one will think about the people for once and change
No one is saying the should not steal, atleast let the people have basic amenities that they deserve with good life
In lagos, no one can drag with apc everyone know because of the standard they raised
But for federal level both parties should rest and watch

Tuchel is just meh
Kimpembe ,ake ,koulibaly
I started suspecting tuchel transfer decisions when we got Lukaku and were later linked with bums like dumbele and trashinha

Now ake and kimpembe against the likes of haaland ,son,

[color=royalblue]Let's hear your picks for that position. [/color]

larride:
Sheriff and Shettima? Lmao please now izzou

https://www.nairaland.com/7223157/ali-modu-sheriff-rallies-support-tinubu-shettima

[color=royalblue]He has vowed that Shettima must win.

So wetin go be him gain? Abi na for free?[/color]

larride:
Haba, this is not true. Shettima was vocal about equipping the army and talking about how our military are under equipped to fight the scourge.

From 2013 to 2019 when he left as Governor, he was the one paying for the Civiliaj JTF that number in excess of 20k force without a dime from the FG.

The deradicalisation of terrorist started under GEJ and it's a worldwide known counter terrorism ways. Why kill those that want to surrender and lay down their arms instead of deradicalising them after going through the necessary procedures?

In Borno, CAN President, Catholic leaders and the likes still appreciate Shettima for the work he did in that state. Every church that those bastard burnt during his tenure were rebuilt.

[color=royalblue]Yeah.

I was mixing the two She's together. No vex[/color]

GloriousGbola:
There is very little Soludo can do, imho.

ESN is thriving because of endemic problems. Wealth amidst poverty. Poverty with no path to self reliance. Proliferation of firearms.


ESN is just another chapter in the story of security issues in the SE.

I remember when kidnapping was at a level where no one travelled home for xmas

I remember osisikanu

When I was in uni, robbery was so bad that Bakassi boys were created.

ESN and UGM are about opportunists tapping into the wellspring of underemployment, bitterness and frustration.

Unless Soludo can make real and sustainable improvements to the economy that carry everybody, this story will not change

[color=royalblue]If he wants to fight them, beg them, create jobs so they can stop, it's a step in the right direction.

But bros, if he spends 8 years and security doesn't improve, he's no better than Willie that left[/color]

chrisooblog:
Honestly I completely agree with most people's sentiments that the APC administration has failed in the most important sectors so it would be morally wrong to hand them the reins of the presidency next year.

The dilemma for me is the proposed people who want to take over don't exactly feel me with confidence.

Atiku is part of the old guard that caused our current situation.

Obi plenty talk less substance.

Don't ever the electorate next year cus however you pick is fraught with risk.

[color=royalblue]I don't even have faith in the others. I'm not seeing Obi as the saviour.

But we cannot continue this way. It is because parties don't get any reward for bad governance,
that's why the country and many states are in ruins.

Let them just rest first. That's the first step to redemption [/color]

afrodoc2:
His approach might have been wrong but by the time he became governor Boko Haram had passed what any governor could handle. I don't know the man so i am not holding brief for him specifically but trying to explain the nature of the beast.

By 2012 onwards only the President and the Nigerian Chiefs of Staff (Army and Airforce especially) and the rest of the top security big wigs could have done anything about that organization. Lack of leadership at the national level and corruption by the generals was what led to all the failures. That is my view anyway.

The time to stop Boko Haram at the local level was 2002-2006 during Ali Modu Sheriff's tenure when they were still fighting other sects and stoning the police not 2011 when they were bombing military barracks in Abuja and breaking 100 of their soldiers out of prison in Bauchi.

[color=royalblue]Okay doc, I agree with you.

Let's not blame him for it.

But the second issue is that the failure called Sheriff, is behind this one two.

So if Tinubu wins, Sheriff is still directly or Indirectly involved with governance[/color]

afrodoc2:
You are comparing Boko Haram a major terrorist organization with serious links to global terrorism and multiple victories against the Nigerian Army in its CV BEFORE Shettima became governor to IPOB?

[color=royalblue]A major terrorist organisation with serious links to Global terrorism, and a sitting governor was negotiating for Amnesty?

IPOB and BH are proscribed as terrorist groups.

He wasn't ruthless about it. Rather he was the chief negotiator and spokesperson during his tenure [/color]

Oasis007:


Alright sire. He's someone I so much like though, and I want him to succeed.

[color=royalblue]Me too.

I hope he succeeds.

He met the problem before he became governor. If he leaves it the same way, he failed[/color]

Itsrm:
Except that Rauf and his likes will still decamp to Labour Party. Rinse and repeat. PO in no time will be surrounded by the same people you didn't want in power.

I understand why people are looking out for a change e dey affect me too.

I buy baby food of N6,000 every two weeks. And pampers of N12,000 every 6 weeks. How much be the salary?

Unfortunately, whether its Obi or Tinubu or Atiku, nothing will change. I have made peace with that.

[color=royalblue]I know decamping is an option,
but at least politicians would be aware that failure means rejection.

Maybe people wey dey support APC dey gain something like Portable. Me I no gain anything oh.

I go think of my welfare first, before my tribe [/color]

Itsrm:
When you're an APC party man, you can easily be detached from reality. Everyone around you will be screaming Tinubu

[color=royalblue]If he had used any other state, I would have backed out.

But for this Lagos, Atiku and Obi go chop him votes well.

[/color]

Oasis007:


..... that makes Soludo an incompetent Governor ba?

[color=royalblue]Let him finish his tenure.

If the unrest still remains, he failed[/color]

Itsrm:
I was discussing with a colleague in Lagos yesterday. I wanted to know if there's overwhelming support for any particular aspirant.

He said its really difficult to say. That while you have die hard supporters of Tinubu on one hand, there are a lot of others who are pro OBI and that the Atiku faithfuls are also there.

Said maybe as the election draws closer there'll be more clarity but for now, it's difficult to say any aspirant has overwhelming support.

, when the 50k lands, remember me in your kingdom

**And in case it matters to anyone, he's Yoruba.**

[color=royalblue]He said Tinubu will win Lagos with over 500k votes.



Funnily enough, in the whole SW, Obi's largest votes will come from Lagos. You can take that to the bank.

Lagos has more Christians than any other SW state
Lagos has a large number of other tribes than any SW state.

But Tinubu go win with over 500k votes....

Him go see the score. Na here we dey[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Rivers had them plenty like that cultists, kidnappers, militants
I don't think i have seen news from that state for more than 2 months about such killings

[color=royalblue]You won't hear anything.

This is even a governor taking charge of the situation.
[/color]

larride:
Obi will import people to run the system abi ehn Mr

[color=royalblue]No sir.

But then, it becomes a different set of people to be tried. It makes room for accountability

Tinubu wins, and then we have Rauf, a failed minister of interior, holding another post again.

Larride, I understand if you want him to win. Na where person dey work, e dey chop.

I can also understand if Dayo and Andriod support APC too. They are typing from the comfort of their homes, 24/7 electricity, good roads, sane environment, blah blah blah. Their lives and future are secured, by the grace of God

What I don't understand is people who have nothing to gain, screaming for this party to come back. Na that one dey confuse me[/color]

afrodoc2:
What do you think a governor could have done differently to prevent his state being overrun by Boko Haram.

Oasis007:
UGM is overrunning Soludo's Tenure right now. He has tried to end Monday Sit-at-home to no avail. Does that make him an incompetent Governor?

I wish can answer both questions.

[color=royalblue]Be Ruthless....

Wike has shown that it works. Have you heard IPOB killed a mosquito in Rivers again?

Rather this one was fighting for amnesty for them.

Wait make e become Vice president first..Our eyes go clear well well[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
That surely hit a nerve, that's surely how to go about it
Not that useless fagman on bold insulting people and shouting tribalism

[color=royalblue]I can understand Larride supporting APC. Na Party Guy.

But Oasis007 no be Party guy. The country dey bite two of us together. No matter how you rate Tinubu, he has to work with the useless and incompetent system he met there.

Shettima wey BokoHaram overrun him tenure na him dey competent?

Obi is just like them
Atiku is the same too

We have tried APC. E no work. Make we try another person[/color]

kingBolton:
If na play, stop am.

[color=royalblue]Na play. Him just dey joke.[/color]

donstan18:
Who?

Itsrm:
Make people just dey careful the kind propaganda dem dey fly. E get the one you go post na DSS go begin find you.

The man who named his dog Buhari was locked up for a year before charges were dropped.

[color=royalblue]I remember that guy.

[/color]

[color=royalblue]13 Non penalty goals in 65 games?[/color]

Itsrm:
Na only one person dey post for this whatsapp group?

[color=royalblue]

The kind propaganda wey go fly for this election ehn.

Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard.

But there's nothing new with Tinubu. Na Shettima fit shock us as we move on[/color]

Android17:
Ok. I take it you don't like the obvious answer because it is not emotive enough.

[color=royalblue]No sir, you're the emotional one here

You have labelled Obi "corrupt" because of the Pandora case (which I agree with you), but when it got to where you man should be questioned, you typed an essay of 150 words without calling him a thief for which he is.

But I understand. Someone needs to sell Integrity to the others[/color]

larride:
Ok chief. If that makes you happy.

[color=royalblue]I was not even angry before

At least, the issue of Integrity should just be buried for any of the candidates

[/color]

Android17:
I knew a girl whose father stole at least 100M USD when he headed one top position in Nigeria. He needed surgery like 7 years back to the tune of half a million dollars (he did not have medical coverage in the USA) so her mother foot the bill. Her mother never got a diploma beyond secondary school and does not run any noticeable business that could amass such. But somehow this girl is convinced her mother is the real deal because most of the property the parents own is in her name. Do you see a connection? Meanwhile, the same girl has property in Baltimore and London in her name. When I point it to her, she still does not see that the same could apply to her mum. Did I answer the question?

[color=royalblue]You are a man of FACTS, not stories. I expected you to point to a particular answer.

But it's fine. I'll accept your answer. It's not easy to explain the unexplainable.

Thank you very much sir[/color]

Itsrm:
Una no go kill person with laugh

DeadPresidents:
Na to use generalizations and Ad Hominems them sabi.

The ruling class will keep pauperizing the masses and there will always be foot soldiers to sell the unsaleable.

My closest friend attended one of the most expensive universities in Nigeria and he regaled me with the doings of the children of the ruling class—Senators kids and the likes.

A particular Senator's kid sold off two very expensive vehicles owned by his father and the crazy thing was—the Senator had no idea as those cars were cars shared amongst all Senators after budgets are signed into law.

[color=royalblue]No one could have said it better[/color]

larride:
Even a toddler will know their Dad bought the house for them. Are you saying Tinubu is not rich enough to buy that kind of house for his own daughters?

[color=royalblue]Yeah.

He probably saved up a lot as Governor for 8 years, coupled with Deloitte and Mobil Pensions.

You're right sha [/color]

Android17:
Is this any different than Pandora box and children of politicians being directors of non existent companies?

[color=royalblue]Relax, Oga

Answer this one first. Believe me, I will personally drag Obi when you raise it up. I have always dragged him on the Pandora case. I am on your side on this.

So, how did Tinubu's daughter save 2 million plus dollars to buy a house?

No deflect oh....Just help us understand[/color]

donjazet:
Better dey add sarcasm disclaimer because soo many people cannot detect sarcasm when it hits them in the face.

[color=royalblue]I just wanted them to explain.

It's possible there's a hidden fact that David didn't know of[/color]

larride:
Na today politician dey buy properties for their children?

Is this what you guys want to use to campaign?

[color=royalblue]Is this the answer to the question?

How could both daughters afford houses that sum up to 4 million dollars, Larride?

We know say our politicians dey buy properties. But we are talking about the best of them all.

Was it his savings? Or Deloitte paid gratuity again? [/color]

DeadPresidents:
She probably won a Student Grant of a million dollars

Just like Jagaban was paid $860k as an accountant with Deloitte

[color=royalblue]Quite true.

Because the Tinubu I know is not corrupt sha.
