The only thing pdp knows how to do is to attack buhari. They have no plan for Nigeria. Even the attack sef is fake because Nigerians can see through their lies. Moreover they forgot buhari is not contesting election. Useless party!

If PDP is attacking Buhari, he would've changed because the only attack I can see are coming from Nigeria masses.

History555:
Really so obj that picked umya and turned campaign manager while umya was in hospital is wat

You don't know OBJ. Buhari is not as overbearing and desperate as OBJ. OBJ was a nuisance who has interest in even ward elections. You can't compare the two. Apart from overzealous associates of Buhari, nobody would taken him serious

Buhari has no influence on who becomes president. His only pact with the king makers is that the person must not invite him for questioning as they did to OBJ and GEJ(though both declined).

helinues:
What exactly do you people want to restructure, simple question

Are you asking because you want to know or you're being mischievous?
This question has been answered countless times. Afe Babalola has even given NASS the simplest way to go around it.
Pass a resolution adopting 1960/1963 constitution. Is that not restructuring?

Putindbutt:
I knew the first news was not complete, which is why I didn't comment on it. It's so unfortunate that many had run with it and given it their own suitable interpretation.
The fact is, Buhari will support whoever emerge in the primaries. However, he has given out a tip, he doesn't want someone who will drag him to court after his tenure. The only person that can protect him from possible litigation is Tinubu. From records, Buhari can never go wrong in the eyes of Tinubu. He has always protected Buhari which has in turn attracted lots of insults at him.

I'm tired of you.

This what my president understands as restructuring.
1. He sees Nigeria an old house with rooms of different sizes.
2. Igbo rooms are small while others are fairly sizeable
3. To restructure Nigeria is to partition other sizeable rooms and give it to Igbos.
4. The owners of these sizeable rooms won't agree
5. Therefore there won't be restructuring.

Those that elected this man should tell Nigerians where he convinced them of his capacity.

And ur mind is a complex processor...
I shaaa dont know how u guys see leadership shaaa... Ordinary family wey u dey lead how far

If you can't lead your family, I can lead mine. So STFU

This one that has the penchant to marry his AIT staff. His Randy life has made growth an alien to AIT.
Is he different from Atiku? It remains to see. Because that Atiku thinks marrying from every tribe makes you detribalized Birds of a feather

BigSarah:
Restructuring suddenly means creating an additional SE state?

Even the people claiming they're responsible for pushing restructuring since 2018, they're supporting this ignorant statement,..
People aren't ready

That's the consensus we talk about. Majority of Nigerians have consensus on a matter that only negatively affects the Igbos.

Gazzy88:
Buhari knows how to deal with ibos sha. He doesn't shout when they shout but anytime he drops an album on them, it's always a banger.

“I have a problem with people from South-East; they said they wanted another state, as each of the geopolitical zones has six states.

“I said go and look at the map and see how many of the existing states will contribute to other states.
“That was the last I heard from them” on the matter, the President said.

Na young John produce the beat this time

How? Did actually think the Igbo leaders failed to come back because Buhari has superior arguments? They left him because they know he doesn't understand.
Dealing with Igbos? So Igbos buy things in different markets? So they buy fuel from different stations?
So what about what he told Makinde about herdsmen? So that is romance?

Movic1:
There are many Igbos in ogbomosho, iseyin and all those small towns in oyo state. The number of Igbos in Ibadan alone can fill the biggest local government in SE. Apart from Abeaokuta, you will find many Igbos in other towns in ogun state. Igbo no dey ondo? Why are they fighting for Eze Ndigbo that led to the flogging of the Eze by deji of akure guards? As small as Ekiti and osun , i can't count the numbers of Igbos staying there.

You don't get. Igbos are in those locations, but in the East, no one consider them compared to Lagosians.
Those areas don't even make tier 3 of the places Igbos celebrate.
You talk of quality of education in the West:
Excuse me! For your information, what SW have over SE is numbers not quality.
I can't train my children in Lagos schools. They disfigure children and take away community living, which is one thing Africa cherish so much, from children.
In my office, when we seat for meetings and I listen to them speak, I will go back to my office wondering if actually they were trained in schools.
Jamb, WAEC and NECO are there to tell which region has quality education.
Yes, they are expressive and that's cool. But being intelligent is beyond ability to express. The ones I work with are shame of graduates. The influx of private schools in SW didn't help because these one I'm saying; 70% of them graduated from private unis.
They behave so awkwardly and sometimes strange. Phew!!

If I didn't live in East and West, I wouldn't know the difference.
See my dear, if you lived East for Long time, you won't like Lagos one bit.
The reason why people rush to Lagos is opportunity but not because of living conditions. The living conditions in the East are way way better than Lagos in my opinion.
Is it accommodation, transport, ease of found business etc.
If Nigeria is working fine, speed train would've enabled people to stay in East and go to work in Lagos.
Talk about other states like Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo: I can tell you for free, no one in East reckons these places.
In fact, if you say you in Ondo, they ask you "I na-aka rubber"(are you into rubber tapping)? It's the worst type of occupation for an Igbo man.
Those in Oyo don't say so. The say "I stay in Ibadan". Now if you're not a student, what are you doing in Ibadan? So no one reckons you.
Ogun? Ijebu Ode. Then people will distance from you, because once you say love in Ogun and use Ijebu Ode as landmark, oga, you're an ogbeni fraternity man. You are into fetish things and very diabolic.
Osun and Ekiti are relatively unknown. Who goes there?

That's a good offer from the govt but it remains for the landlords to accept.
The key issues
1. Location of the place v Magodo: this will determine the value of the land
2. Who owns the new location? Govt or private
I think what govt would've done, which I know will be very expensive but lasting, is to value the current property and pay the landlords.
If it requires paying X2 of the value. Because, to reallocate is easier said than done

Penguin2:
But wetin Ararume do Obasanjo sef?

The guy was the senator that collected billions from OBJ to smooth the 3rd term deal, but he chop the money.
In fact, in 2007, OBJ publicly said it during PDP campaign in Imo state, when the Ararume was declared the party candidate in Imo state, OBJ had to come back and to Imo people that PDP has no candidate.
He used OBJ money to run his guber primary. He out spent governor Udenwa.
Their fight is epic and that guy is a fighter too.

APC leadership have already told the governor never to respond to the allegations.
So the issue is intertwined

Shooyie:
He sacked Mamman Daura for braking into the NASS unlawfully. He ordered all service Chiefs be relocated to Maiduguri. Amongst other stuff like the naira gaining against the dollar.

I thought Mamman Daura is Buhari's uncle? Maybe you mean the DSS boss? So what has sacking the got to do with capacity to perform?
The service chiefs that he relocated to Borno, did it scale down the activities of terrorists in that area?
Meanwhile, I want you look at those MDAs under the VP and see how they performed.
Why did they remove the Social Intervention Programme from his socket?

I like how others are playing their last cards in this race to 2023 while South East is appealing to the conscience of the people.
Now people are eagerly waiting to see those Igbos that will declare.
So in the mind of Nigerians, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim is not the one they're waiting for.
Could it be Nigerians are waiting for Okwute?

Shooyie:
Honestly, Prof Osinbajo will make a very good president. This is judging from when he was Acting President and the changes that we all observed.

Please what did he do as an acting president?

Damidave1124:
I'm tempted to bash Buhari, but haven gone through the write up, I must say he raised some salient points.

The governors, if given the opportunity will abuse it, they'll use it to which hunt their opponents till the subdue them.

Again, the north is scared of state police, because they'll lose their grip on Nigeria at large. Each state controlling the police will not favour the born to rule people

There is no salient point. There's always excuse for a failure who has ulterior motives. If you read between the lines, you will see where he gave example of two governors who visited him and complained of the herdsmen problem. You saw his response? That is what he is protecting: the herdsmen in the South.
The organogram of the police will solve the problem that governor overbearing may pose.
The constitution will be amended to address it, so that the police will know their boundaries.
The thing that Buhari has failed to do is strengthen Nigeria institutions because he won't manipulate them if he does.
So strong institutions can shoulder any reform.

Just say: the Southern politicians no longer see money. The northern politicians are now in the driving seat, giving handouts to the south.

No be only Bishop Jonathan, even Pope Obasanjo

Yes, I don't want Tinubu and Osibanjo to contest because I want a South East president, but at the same time I don't read junk.
Again, Buhari has no capacity to make anyone president.

BigSarah:
Wahala

Seems The password this year, like every other year is Igbo

Yesssoooo. How I wish every Igbo is like me; both Reno and his history will stay on his wall and rust

miqos02:
can a governor overturn the ruling of the supreme court?

No. And he didn't attempt to overturn the the ruling.
He only tried to intervene in the empasse between the residents and the police which if left to fester could result in life lost.

illicit:
No

Somebody on inspector General team does not have to call CP

Only the IG can order them not CP or Governor

It's because Lagos state tries to be civil to some reasonable extent in the face of assault.
When Ngige was the governor, the then IGP tried that rubbish, the man mobilized his own local security and they chased the IGP team away. At this is backed by the law. Any where it is not the case, the police is simply being unruly and irresponsible display of authority.

illicit:
He didn't defy him

He explained his position


Why the sensational headline

Can a governor pardon a prisoner? Yes. That means he has keys to the prison and can open to anyone he will.
Can governor arrest a criminal? Yes. That means he is backed by law to police his state.
This simply means that a governor can order police around. Yes, he is backed by law.
Reason: the constitution says governors are chief security officer of their states.
If the governor instructs the CSP to call his superior about his order.
The CSP should have called the CP who will then call IGP.
This is the procedure.
But Nigeria is a banana republic.

You'll be marvel. I know you don't understand and I won't tell you.

Let's see how the event unfolds. When it happens, SE go scatter.

Lol Okoko mmadu

There's no question about power shift to South. The bone of contention is: which of the South?
The frontrunner is South East because of obvious reasons which borders on the conscience of the country. It has to do with the state of health of Nigeria, which improves or gets worse depending on the outcome of 2023.
The remaining zones are doing what they should do by reason of being Nigerians.
So that's the update.

ThatFairGuy1:
I won't tell you. NOT FROM MY MOUTH

You're densed.
I know you don't anything but made a vague statement.
This is how some of come here to make unfounded claims.

Today news headlines are catchy, interesting, intriguing, sensational etc.
I'm even tried of reading, yet I'm still reading.
Lemme go back to reading.

I laugh at people thinking southerners are toothless bulldog in this 2023 debacle.
The north is only jumping with one leg because Tinubu is angling to be president.
If the coast is clear for South East in South; north will run inside with their tails in between their legs.

ThatFairGuy1:
Well, releasing him might be a bait.......

If u know u know

How would it be a bait? Please I want to know.
