So this Op has dedicated his entire life about the 2027 election

Hope you are dedicating reasonable time for how to better your own life sha

When birds decide to fly without perching, hunters adopt to shoot without aiming.

Since you have subscribe to defend a failure to collect stipends, the OP is doing you great favour by providing you Issues to defend in order for you to eat.

You owe him great thanks for enabling your livelihood.

Is that man truly an Engineer?

What a short-sighted personality saddled with the responsibility of work as a minister. My concern is on efficiency of projects being supervised or handled by this man.

Knowledge is priceless! Passing through school and being elevated to political positions without due knowledge is nothing but a fluke. What a 'star-shaped' pegged being used to stop water flow in a round pipe. No wonder the airport he built in Ebonyi is not functional

Professor in practice my foot!

Believe APC led government at your peril.

Par adventure this is true, then I question the authenticity of their anthem 'On your mandate they stand'. I thought they said they have 32 governors on their kit and two strong allied governors (34 out of 36) to deliver Tinubu's second term come 2027. Why the complaint? If what APC is portraying is true, such directive from Tinubu will not take hours to implement let alone more than a month since the directive was made in August. Deployment of his campaign buses alone nation wide for this purpose will boldly impact on the citizens. Who is fooling who?

APC always think that Nigerians are daft. Once bitten, twice shy.

It is unfortunate that you allowed hatred to be loud your reasoning.

At this juncture, it is no longer about Peter Obi, politics, or political affiliations. This is now about honesty, integrity, and public scrutiny on the nation we call ours. I agree that Nigerian politicians have destroyed my era. But I don't want my children to be plunged into the same fate. I equally agree that my understanding and position will never be the same as yours. And I am not questioning or trying to question you about that. We all have our honest divergent views. After all, one man's detest is another's delight.

Since 2015 APC has taken over the mantle of leadership, and I have compared and contrasted the gains and losses of Nigeria just like everyone, we have all taken a position. More so, since 2023 Tinubu has been in power, and I have equally assessed his performance just like you have done. In all honesty, I detest his leadership and I noticed that you are very pleased with his performance. It is all about divergent choice, views, and assessment. Be that as it may, having established our choices. In the spirit of sincere prayer, I pray that my family and I will never experience anything like Tinubu's governance in our lives. May our (my family and I's) dreams be like that of the integrity of Peter Obi. On the other hand, may you and your family continue to experience Tinubu's leadership and may your (you and your family) future never be like the integrity of Peter Obi. Let it be like I tergrity of Tinubu!

I say 'So shall it be' (Amen) to this prayer as I equally await your affirmation.

This is becoming interesting.

It seems that the APC are using this to divert attention from the true state of the nation by being much obsessed with Obi/Soludo claims and counterclaims.

Nigerians are wiser and keenly observing the situation. Let's see who blinks first.

Nevertheless, I thought they said that Obi is inconsequential. Why this utmost focus on Obi? It's getting clearer that in the heart of APC, Obi towers more than 'Iroko' tree. Indeed Obi is APC's nightmare.

psalmsjob:
You mean to say the moment a quack barrester Kalu made a mockery of himself before the European Union commission in brussel about president Tinubu who submitted a qualification higher than what the elevtoral law of Nigeria requires from anyone seeking to be president of Nigeria.

The law requires a secondary school certificate or its equivalent.

Not a secondary school certificate of A1 all through. The grades of the certificate is not required just the certificate or its equivalent yet president Tinubu presented a university certificate which you cannot have without having a secondary school certificate. During the last election due to the case Atiku brought in usa, the University certificate was confirmed by the University to be authentic and his grades were even displayed for all to see how he passed with flying colours yet a charge and bail lawyer is traveling to europe to present a petition to european commision on what basis for them to stop the president of nigeria from seeking reelection.

If this is not a sign of lacking anytjing to confront Tinubu with politucally by his policies which has been yeilding results for all to see then it must be because they are desperate and having low IQ.

Please don't go there!

Trying to defend this will obviously make you look somewhat. Every plant or tree grows from the soil. No plant or tree grows from the sky.

If you want to bring out yourself, tell us the secondary school he attended or the qualification he used to gain admission to the so-called University. You did not see anything questionable that someone claims to have graduated from a secondary school four years before its establishment.

Don't try to sell this dummy here.

My brother, on the BAT issue I really understand that 'Silence is golden'.

Do they invite us to observe their election? The answer is 'No'.

We copied their system of governance, copied their mode of dressing, copied their language, copied their education, and always rely on them for financial support, economic aid, and medical aid. Yet we are claiming not to be their slaves.

The truth is that whoever you run to for help or aid can be paradoxically regarded as your master. And if he/she is your master, then what are you to him?

DISGRACE.

We start producing and manufacturing all of our needs and usage. Things like our fabrics, electronics gadgets, home equipment, etc.

For instance, if you are still relying on smartphones or computers produced by white men for these online engagements, believe me, you are equally a white man's slave.

Peter Obi is far too big politically to be undermined with such sycophancy.

Peter Obi used 2023 to test his popularity and acceptance in Nigeria. Use your brain well to understand the true outcome of 2023 and know what 2027 will unfold. In 2023, many Nigerians did not vote and some deliberately opted not to vote for Peter Obi thinking that it was a mere fluke or a wasted vote. The purported outcome opens the eyes and awakens the consciousness of many. Besides, Tinubu's performance (Calamity) in office has made Obi's victory easier. Even your subconscious mind will tell you the reality of Peter Obi's popularity.

[You can lie to me and others but you can never lie to yourself] In every thought or action, let your conscience guide you. For once, tell the people what your heart is telling you.

I am very keen on how this glaring scandal unfolds.

The presidency is saying that they have been on this matter since October 2025 labeling it as a flagged fake agency yet they still budgeted about N1.3b to the same fake agency for the 2026 fiscal year. Even the Senate or the national assembly has been hobnobbing with the fake agency chanting 'firm stand on your mandate' while allocating a loud office to the alleged fake establishment in the federal secretariat building.

I believe that hundreds of similar conduit pipes exist in this regime. We only got to know about this because of a disagreement over the sharing formula for the allocated natural cake to the created conduit pipe.

When you think that you have seen it all, the Tinubu regime will prove to you that you have not seen anything.

The fear, the jitteriness, and convulsions of the ruling class because of the euphoria of one man will conspicuously lead them to plunge this nation into anarchy.

A word is enough for the wise.

madridguy:
Obi will never rule Nigeria. He is a dullard and a liar.

madridguy:
5 out of 8 people that voted for Obi in 2023 will not vote for him again. Note this, in 2027, Obi won't get half of the total votes he got in 2023.

This is no longer about Peter Obi. It is about rescuing Nigeria.

In 2015, I voted for President Buhari believing that with his military background, he would be able to nip the state of insecurity in Nigeria in the bud. I saw Goodluck Jonathan as a weak man who never planned to be a president but destiny took him there. [Voting for Buhari happened to be the greatest mistake of my life. Of course, I voted against him in 2019]

In 2023, I voted for Peter Obi. Of a truth, though I did not vote for Tinubu, I was highly disappointed with his abysmal performance. I never knew that Tinubu had nothing to offer except the fulfilment of his lifetime ambition to answer 'Commander in Chief'.

If anyone tells me that the Yoruba land (South west) will be ravaged with this level of insecurity under Tinubu's watch as C-in-C, I will never believe. This is no longer about Tribalism or Religion. It is about how safe you, your relatives, and loved one is. My concern is that no solution or any trajectory of improvement is being laid on the ground to give hope of a better Nigeria.

Generals and Traditional rulers with security guards are being kidnapped and killed. You that is standing on the mandate with mere stipends are being irrational. Someone was busy asking for evidence that Janet Dairo [May her soul rest in peace], the serving NYSC member who died in captivity actually told her father not to pay the ransom because she would kill herself if released because of serial rape, torture, and torments in captivity. She chose death because of what she had passed through. I wonder how we lose our senses and humanity at the same time because of tribal politics. My only response to the person is that may Nigeria not happen to him or her. The evidence he or she is seeking will be provided when he/she or any of his/her family members is kidnapped.

Children of this generation will believe that Terrorism, Banditry, and Kidnapping are norms of living. It is not about me. Even if I am the only one who voted against this government, I will proudly tell my children if I happen to be alive and not swallowed by this criminality or Nigeria system that I proudly did my part in ensuring that I laid a better foundation of governance for them.

Regardless of your tribe and religion, if you sincerely believe that the future you wish for your children and Nigeria is not what you are witnessing today, you know what to do come 2027. Otherwise, stand firmly on 'Emilokan Mandate'.

FAILURE:

Dear well meaning Nigerians, I understand your displeasure on the state of your country but, please, stop attributing your president to my name. Having put the performance of your president in a scale, I understand that I am more honourable than his performance so, attributing him to my name is very degrading to me. You can call him a 'Catastrophe' or wait for Oxford or Cambridge to authorise the use of his name to imply or quantify something that is worse than 'Failure'.

Please, accord me some dignity on use of my name in quantifying abysmal performance.

Thanks.

helinues:
Forget about the bandits narration, that kidnapping is political and was carried out by the locals.

How Oyo and Osun state have been handling their matter is just worrisome .

As the election is approaching, the politicians are so desperate to do anything for the election

What?

Political? To the extent of beheading a teacher?

Who did this to us? My dear, the day they will kidnap you or your family member you will wake up from this your dream. Even when you don't have sense, do you lack a humane heart as well? Honesty, politics and tribalism have blinded many that even when you offer to give them a guardian, they will still choose to be left out and stumble on whatever comes their way. I will never support or follow any politician in my life sheepishly. I still have a brain to reason, eyes to see, and a discerning spirit to make assessments.

Tinubu led government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they are clueless and have nothing to offer. Three years down.

What happened in Oyo State is to me is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The trauma of the beheaded teacher will never leave us for decades. The question is - What was his offence to deserve such a fate? Nigeria failed him.

Every Nigerian irrespective of tribe and political affiliation should reflect on this - If you found yourself in the beheaded teacher's fate, will your support for this regime save you? If you are kidnapped today or your close relative is kidnapped today? Will you confidently believe that Tinubu led regime will rescue you unhurt? How many times will a mosquito bite you before you realise the need for a mosquito net, repellent, or insecticide?

GOD forbid! I will never support or follow blindly.

favor914:
Please can u give us 2 scenarios on what Tinubu should do?

If I am the Commander-in-Chief, the Oyo kidnapped victim and other kidnapped victims in the country will be rescued with bearest minimal collateral damage. I will never pay a dime as ransom and the bandits will be apprehended.

The trauma of the beheaded teacher is enough to irk me to give my service chiefs a Marshal order to deploy Drones and technology to monitor the bandits and their whereabouts, use Anaesthetic gas deployed via a fighter jet or drones to sedate and incapacitate them including their victims in their hideout in the bush or wherever they are. Then soldiers will rapidly set foot on the ground to apprehend everyone with no or minimal casualties. Then we isolate the hostages from the bandits and neutralise all the criminals to the world beyond.

Payment of ransom is emboldening them. We need to take the war to their camp and also prove to them that we can rescue hostages without ransom and collateral damage while dealing decisively with them at the same time.

Enough is enough.

OBI CANNOT BE PRESIDENT IN THIS NIGERIA
Prince Omokhodion Okojie

Let me begin with a statement that will shock many people.

Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria.

Yes. Let me repeat it again so that nobody will say they did not hear clearly.

Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria.

Not in this Nigeria.

Not in a country where corruption has become an industry.
Not in a nation where those who benefit from the decay of the system are the ones controlling the system.
Not in a place where those who profit from darkness are the ones holding the switch to the light.

So before the Obi supporters become angry and before the Obi haters begin to celebrate, let us slow down and examine something deeper.

Because the problem is not Peter Obi.

The problem is Nigeria.

Let me explain.

Nigeria today is like a marketplace where many traders have been selling fake drugs for years. Suddenly one honest pharmacist arrives who wants to clean the market.

What do you think the fake drug sellers will do?

They will not welcome him.

They will not clap for him.

They will not say thank you.

They will fight him with everything they have.

Because if honesty enters the market, their own business dies.

That is why Peter Obi cannot be President in this Nigeria.

Not because he is not qualified.

But because he is dangerous.

Dangerous to corruption.
Dangerous to waste.
Dangerous to political profiteers.
Dangerous to the entire industry of national looting.

And when a man becomes dangerous to a corrupt system, the system begins to panic.

Let us look carefully at what has been happening in Nigeria.

Everywhere you turn today, Obi is the topic.

Government spokesmen wake up every morning thinking about Obi.

Party loyalists go on television talking about Obi.

Social media attack dogs spend their entire day discussing Obi.

If Obi sneezes in Onitsha, somebody in Abuja will hold a press conference.

If Obi visits a school, somebody will write an angry column.

If Obi greets a market woman, television panels will debate it for two hours.

Now think about it.

Why?

Why is Obi giving them sleepless nights?

Why is a man who is not in government causing so much anxiety in government?

There is a proverb that says when the goat begins to shout too loudly, check the grass it has eaten.

Something is disturbing them.

Let us call some names since many people are afraid to do so.

Every time you turn on the television, somebody is attacking Obi.

You will see people like Daniel Bwala going from one station to another explaining why Obi is the problem of Nigeria.

You will see political loyalists defending Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu by attacking Obi morning, afternoon and night.

You will see people twisting every statement Obi makes.

You will see people inventing narratives about Obi.

And you will ask yourself one simple question.

Why?

If Obi is irrelevant, why the panic?

If Obi is politically finished, why the fear?

If Obi is not a threat, why the daily propaganda?

In our villages there is a saying.

Nobody fights a dead snake.

If they are still beating the bush, it means something inside the bush is alive.

And that thing inside the bush is the idea that Nigeria can actually work.

Peter Obi has become a symbol of that possibility.

That is why he is a problem.

Not because he is perfect.

Not because he is a saint.

But because he represents something dangerous to the current political order.

Accountability.

And accountability is the worst enemy of corruption.

Let us look at it clearly.

For decades Nigeria has been run like a private estate.

Public money disappears without explanation.

Budgets are announced but development never appears.

Projects are commissioned only on television.

Convoys grow longer while citizens grow poorer.

Politicians become billionaires while the nation becomes poorer.

In such a system, the most important qualification for leadership is not competence.

It is loyalty to the system.

Do not disturb the arrangement.

Do not question the spending.

Do not ask where the money went.

Do not open the books.

Do not shine light into dark corners.

Once you obey those rules, the system will embrace you.

But the moment you begin to talk about prudence, accountability and transparency, the system will label you dangerous.

And that is exactly where Peter Obi entered the picture.

For years he spoke about cutting the cost of governance.

For years he spoke about investing in production.

For years he spoke about redirecting resources into education and healthcare.

For years he spoke about leaders living within reasonable limits.

In any normal country, those statements would sound ordinary.

In Nigeria they sound revolutionary.

Because Nigeria has normalized the abnormal.

The abnormal has become normal.

Waste is normal.

Corruption is normal.

Impunity is normal.

So when somebody begins to talk about discipline, it sounds like a threat.

Let me give a simple illustration.

Imagine a house where everybody has been stealing from the kitchen for twenty years.

Every day somebody removes rice.

Every day somebody takes meat.

Every day somebody pockets the cooking money.

Nobody complains because everybody is benefiting from the arrangement.

Then suddenly one new member of the house says something simple.

Let us keep records of everything we buy.

Immediately the house will erupt.

Why?

Because records will expose the thieves.

That is exactly the Obi problem.

He represents record keeping.

He represents scrutiny.

He represents the uncomfortable possibility that public money may actually be tracked.

And many people cannot survive in such an environment.

So the attacks begin.

The propaganda begins.

The character assassination begins.

They will say he is stingy.

They will say he is desperate.

They will say he is tribal.

They will say he is inexperienced.

They will say anything that can weaken the symbol.

But deep down, the fear remains.

Because ideas cannot easily be destroyed.

Peter Obi has become an idea.

And ideas are stubborn things.

Look at what happened during the last election cycle.

A political movement emerged from ordinary citizens.

Young people began to discuss governance seriously.

Students began to ask questions about budgets.

Market women began to talk about debt.

People who had never attended political meetings before suddenly became politically conscious.

That frightened the establishment.

Because once citizens become aware, manipulation becomes difficult.

One old man in my village once said something very profound.

He said the day a blind man begins to see, many thieves will run away.

That is what happened.

Many Nigerians began to see.

And the reaction from the political class was immediate.

Fear.

Panic.

Aggression.

That is why every Obi visit creates anxiety.

When he visits a school, they wonder what message he will deliver.

When he visits a hospital, they wonder what questions he will ask.

When he visits a disaster site, they worry about the attention he will attract.

Because every visit reminds Nigerians of something uncomfortable.

Leadership can actually be different.

And that thought is dangerous to a corrupt system.

Let us talk plainly.

Many Nigerian politicians are not afraid of opposition.

They are afraid of example.

Opposition can be insulted.

Opposition can be ignored.

Opposition can be suppressed.

But example cannot easily be destroyed.

Example exposes hypocrisy.

Example raises standards.

Example forces comparison.

If one leader flies private jets everywhere while another travels modestly, citizens will compare.

If one leader speaks carefully about public spending while another celebrates extravagance, citizens will compare.

If one leader answers questions directly while another hides behind spokespersons, citizens will compare.

Comparison is uncomfortable for those who benefit from excess.

So they prefer noise.

They prefer propaganda.

They prefer confusion.

Anything that distracts the public from comparison.

But Nigerians are not foolish.

The average Nigerian may be struggling economically, but he understands hypocrisy when he sees it.

He knows when politicians are afraid.

And today many powerful people are afraid.

Because Obi represents something they cannot easily control.

Authenticity.

Now let us enter small pidgin so everybody go understand.

My people, make we talk truth.

The wahala wey Obi carry no be ordinary wahala.

E be like person wey enter dark room come carry torchlight.

All the rats and cockroaches wey dey inside go begin run.

Na wetin dey happen for Nigeria now.

Obi carry torchlight.

Some people no like that light at all.

Because if light shine well well, many things go show.

Contracts wey dem inflate go show.

Money wey disappear go show.

Lifestyle wey no match salary go show.

So the easiest thing is to attack the man holding the light.

But light no dey fear noise.

Light na light.

Another proverb says something powerful.

When a clean river enters a dirty swamp, the swamp becomes disturbed.

Not because the river is violent.

But because the river is pure.

That disturbance is what we are seeing in Nigeria today.

The political class is disturbed.

They are restless.

They are defensive.

They are aggressive.

Because somewhere deep inside they know something.

If Nigeria ever truly embraces accountability, many political careers will end.

And that is why some people keep saying Obi cannot be President.

Not because Nigerians do not want change.

But because the system is designed to resist change.

However, history teaches us something important.

Systems eventually collapse under the weight of their own contradictions.

A corrupt system can survive for many years.

But it cannot survive forever.

At some point, the pressure from citizens becomes too strong.

At some point, the demand for accountability becomes too loud.

At some point, a new generation refuses to accept the old rules.

And when that moment comes, the impossible becomes possible.

So when I say Peter Obi cannot be President in this Nigeria, understand what I mean.

He cannot be President in a Nigeria controlled by corruption.

He cannot be President in a Nigeria controlled by political profiteers.

He cannot be President in a Nigeria where transparency is treated like a crime.

But if Nigeria itself changes, everything becomes possible.

Because the real battle is not Obi versus politicians.

The real battle is Nigeria versus corruption.

The real battle is citizens versus impunity.

The real battle is truth versus propaganda.

And that battle is still unfolding.

One thing is certain.

The louder the attacks become, the clearer the fear becomes.

And fear is always a signal.

It tells you something important is happening.

Today Peter Obi is the greatest nightmare of corruption.

Not because he holds power.

But because he challenges the comfort of those who hold power.

And until Nigeria decides whether it prefers comfort or progress, the debate will continue.

But one thing nobody can deny.

The conversation has changed.

And once a nation begins to question its habits, transformation becomes only a matter of time.

Prince Omo Okojie writes from Benin City.

I am very sorry for being Nigerian.

Ahmed Bola Tinubu: Give Reasons Why Baba Deserves 2nd Term ?

How I wish This Thread Wouldn't turn to Unnecessary Arguement and Attacks Against One Another .

Just Give your Reasons Good or Bad and Move ..But Hell No


It's well.

He deserved a second term because accordong to him in 2022 he said, "It is the turn of the Yorubas and in the Yoruba nation, it is my turn". So, he has to finish the 'Emilokan' against all odds.

Bosman17:
The south East has a lot of brainy politicians too, don’t force 3rd class Obi China on us! You have intellectuals like Soludo, not Obi please 🙏🏾

The same way South West gave us BAT (Who's academic quslification/record is in dispute) as their Emilokan when we have the likes of Osinbajo, Adesina, etc.

Even the South West extraction led administration oversaw the removal of certificate forgery as one of disqualifications criteria in the electoral act. [Your guess is as good as mine]

The music has started playing, let us watch the dance together.

PigTormentor:
Comparing apples to Oranges.
The US govt or any government does not allow anyone to print currency.
Universities in the US allow you to get a copy of your certificate via other sources.
What's important is that you attended the school and graduated. End of story.
It's very obvious that you are arguing blindly without following the case while in court.
If you did, you would have known that it was stated in court that he was granted admission into the school with what we call a GED certificate.
May be he never attended school prior to taking a GED is irrelevant, what matters is that he took the exam and passed.
This is basically like taking GCE in Nigeria to enter a university. Even if you have never attended any school, if you can pass GCE and Jamb, then you can enter a university. That's the Nigerian system. Every country with their own system.

Our bone of contention is forgery based on the certificate that was presented.

My question is - 'How come a well-known politician presented a Secondary School certificate that was issued years before the establishment of the institution?' Are you saying that such did not happen or the said certificate wasn't forged?

I am very interested in engaging with you to establish the degree of our honesty.

I am not asking you how someone gains admission or graduates from a university. My question wasn't ambiguous.

PigTormentor:
Stupidity is repeating the same old false narratives and expecting others to believe you when they already know that it's false.
Forgery is you claiming to have graduated from a s school that you did not attend or attended but did not graduate.
Tinubu attended his university and graduated with honors.
Obtaining a certificate from a 3rd party after the original is lost is not Forgery.
The problem is that most of you don't understand how the system works in the US.
First, a certificate is just ceremonial. You can actuality have a certificate and walk on graduation day and still not be considered a graduate of that school. This happened to.my.son, until he had to go back and take one.class that he had failed.
Now, once you graduate and obtain a certificate and transcript from a school, you can obtain another copy.fro another source if you lose the previous original one.

I don tire to they educate you people.
Bye

It is truly not easy to defend the indefensible!

Your definition of Forgery left much to be desired. Let's put this into perspective, you lost your $100 bill and went to a third party to print another bill as a replacement instead of approaching the US minting company and to you, it wasn't Forgery.

Let me educate you. Even when you graduated with a certificate and went to anywhere to print a copy/replica that wasn't from the source after you have lost it, the act is Forgery.

Meanwhile, you deliberately avoided addressing the Secondary School certificate that was obtained years before the School's inception. I believe that you are vastly knowledgeable and exposed, please, address that as well. We are now before Equity. Let our hands be clean. [Life has taught me that in every argument, let our conscience direct us]

PigTormentor:
No wonder, these are the kinds of brains behind Radio Biafra.
You are unable to differentiate the difference between the school saying that they did not issue a particular certificate from graduating from the school.
The school never said that he did not graduate from the school. They said that they did not issue that certificate that he presented to INEC.
In the US, certificate is mostly ceremonial and can be sourced from other avenues as long as you graduated from the said school. What you cannot get from another source is your school transcripts. He apparently lost his previous certificate in a fire. I can't even find mine and I graduated many years after Tinubu from a US university. I still have my transcript.
The school actually said in open court that Tinubu not only graduated but that he graduated top of his class.
Go and read the court transcripts.
On the drug charge, I'm actually feeling generous today.
I will dash you 1000 dollars today today, if you can find and post on NL, any document from the US stating that Tinubu was charged with any drug crime.
Pls show us documents showing when and where he was charged and the court conviction.
I dare you to show any document showing these facts from the US govt.
You might be able to bamboozled your fellow moomoos on Radio Biafra but you can do that here and not get challenged with such outright lies.

Then, what is forgery?

What about the Secondary School certificate he graduated with years before the School's inception?

Please, can we for once call a Spade 'A Spade' without beating about the bush?

[Let us not turn to stupidity in the course of trying to defend and indefensible]

Recently, the Nigerian masses and social media have been rattled by the ongoing clamour to strengthen the Electoral Act and improve transparency in our electoral system.

The bone of contention is enacting the mandatory transmission of results (Form EC8A) electronically from the polling units to Irev into law.

Senator Akpabio, no one is abolishing the hard copies of Form EC8A the one you can decide to use a bicycle or wheelbarrow to transmit as you like. What Nigerians are saying is that a copy of it after the results have been written and signed by the party agents at polling units must be snapped and transmitted electronically in real time with BVAS from the polling unit to the IREV. And this action must be enacted into law to serve as a primary collation tool to checkmate the hard copy since it can not be tampered with or altered.

Senator Apkabio, I agree with you on the argument of the availability of internet access or the collapse of the national grid or whatever. But let me counter your position with reference to WhatsApp message transmissions. Even in the absence of the internet, we still send our messages that stay in transit and are delivered automatically as soon as it accessed internet. So, without internet in those remote polling units, let the result be captured, uploaded and transmitted in real-time. Before the Polling officer gets to the RAC or INEC office, the BVAS must have accessed the internet and delivered automatically to the IREV. This is like saying that football matches must be transmitted live from the pitch of play to demonstrate transparency. Even if there was no network at that time for live streaming but we still watched the match days later, everyone will be satisfied to see how our Super Eagles won or lost. It is all about transparency.

So, Senator Akpabio and the Nigerian Senate, listen to the voice of reasoning. Even if there is no light, we have power banks and generators to charge the BVAS.

[I am still available to proffer more solutions to any excuse or argument Akpabio will raise]

We want a free and very transparent electoral process. QED.

This is the right time for Nigerians to stage a massive protest against the lawmakers for their inability to do the right thing. Now that Trump and the Western world have eyes on Nigeria, let us use the opportunity to request the needed reform. With their interest in our country, let us push for the needed reform on our electoral act to do away with the production of rogue leaders.

What are we clamouring for? The masses are requesting that our electoral system be strengthened and be very transparent to produce popular leaders and the masses' choice. Simple!

It has become alarming on the fortune spent or the financial burden in organising and exercising a burial ceremony in the Southeastern and other parts of Nigeria. This supposed moment of grief has been transformed into a massive carnival and jamboree. Though you may argue that we can't tell someone how to spend his/her money but the effect of different displays of affluence on society should always be considered in every discussion.

Focusing on the Igbo land where I come from, the Burial ceremony is more like executing a capital project. Even to the downtrodden, no matter how you want to cut your cloth according to your size, the community and Church requirements will over-stretch and drain your pocket so it is inevitable that you must borrow or seek aid. For instance, if a man (a father) dies, the church will ensure that all financial obligations of the deceased, the wife, and the children including levies, dues, or sundry pledges made must be paid before partaking in his burial. Such treatment is equally meted out to the family by their community. The Kinsmen, 'umuada', and other relative groups will also extort theirs as well. Thereafter, different lists of entitled requirements ranging from assorted drinks, assorted foods, and sundry items as provisions for attending or appearing at the funeral by different groups will be submitted as obligations that must be fulfilled. These provisions come with different penalties to be paid as a fine for failure to meet to anticipated standard. For instance, if the soup you provided is not sophisticated with meat and fish, it may attract a fine of N50,000 or more. More so, you may pay a fine for being accused that you serve them with unbefitting plates and cutlery. You may also be accused of a delay in presenting their meals which attracts fines. With all these burdens attached, you will now understand the financial involvement. All these were precedents set by the elites which over the years have been accepted as a standard. And that made me ask; are they truly mourning or celebrating?

The cost of caskets and an ambulance is not left out. Recently, I was marvelling when told the amount it cost for transporting the dead from Lagos to the Southeast. I felt like 'must it be one dead body per ambulance?' Why not arrange multiple dead bodies in an ambulance to convey to a particular region within a stipulated period and then distribute them to the closest mortuaries? Maybe a bus ambulance will be serving that purpose and be plying the route probably twice or three times a week. The government can assist different bereaved families with such provisions free or at a subsidised rate. Even a casket could be regulated and provided free for bereaved families with heavy taxes placed on the rich people who want to patronise expensive/luxurious caskets. Let their taxes be used to fund free caskets for the poor. Even the wealthy in our midst executing expensive burials should equally be taxed. As they chose to display their wealth, let them equally partake in funding the burial of the poor with such taxes. Above all, let there be strong regulations on what needs to be spent during burial with heavy fines to those who want to exhibit a show of wealth.

[My Opinion]

Did President Tinubu goof in mentioning the monetary reward of $100,000 each to the victorious Super Falcon?

I initially thought it was $10,000 (about N15,000,000) each. I never knew it was $100,000 (about N150,000,000) each. Honestly, this is outrageous. Is Nigeria economically buoyant to cough out N150,000,000 each to 24-man team players and about N75,000,000 each to about 10-man coaching crew/staff?

If we can spend such, why do we still issue peanuts as minimum wage?

if no be foolishness , how person go think say ADC go win election for Yoruba land .

Their defeat go too bad .

Make una carry Atiku money come , no shaking but nothing for una apart from loss .

As a Yoruba man, can you tell me how Tinubu's regime transcended to providing food on your table?

Before 2015 when I was campaigning for PMB against GEJ, I never knew it would be one of my greatest undoings. I felt that with PMB's military background, he would nip the then-insecurity 'Boko Haram' in the bud. I thought that GEJ was too weak to take decisive decisions. Under PMB's watch, we were mesmerised by Banditry, Fulani herdsmen's killings and high-scale kidnappings. During the 2015 election, some of my Igbo brothers were asking me to support GEJ because he made Gen. Ihejirika the Chief of Army Staff. But I questioned how Ihejirika being chief of Army staff will metamorphose to food on my table.

As a Yoruba, how did OBJ's 8 years in office benefit you personally? As a Northerner, how did PMB's 8 years benefit you personally? As Ijaw, how did GEJ's 5 or 6 years benefit you personally? It is high time we look for a competent leader irrespective of tribe or region to transform the country for the good of all of us.

Today, Tinubu is the president, under his watch, subsidy was removed. Pump price has gone up, electricity price has gone up. This resulted in to increase in the prices of food and household items. Yet, our salary (income) was never increased exponentially with other increments to it. Once again, as a Yoruba, can you sincerely tell me your gains or transformation compared to those of the politicians and their families you are fighting for?

To find the total number of people, we need to count the men, their wives, and their children.
There are 7 men.
Each man has a wife, so there are 7 wives.
Each man and each woman (i.e., each couple) have 7 children. Since there are 7 couples, the total number of children is 7 couples × 7 children per couple = 49 children.
Now, we sum the number of men, wives, and children:
Men: 7
Wives: 7
Children: 49
Total number of people = 7 + 7 + 49 = 63.
Therefore, the total number of people is 63.

QED

What a hypocrisy!

APC-led government regime of which you, Adams Oshiomhole were then one of the Chairmen spearheaded the arbitrary printing of money that cripled the Nigerian economy.

QED

Did Emefiele take decisions on his own? Who was the Commander-in-Chief? APC blame games and propaganda.

They started with blaming GEJ, later it was Saraki, covid 19, now Emefiele, tomorrow Peter Obi, thereafter they will blame parents for giving birth to successive children.

Even if Adams Oshiomhole or APC talk and make mistakes, he will blame the microphone for transmitting what he never said.

Is the Lightning selective in its killing?

How come it is only Cows that fall victim?

Maybe we should tag it Cow-killing Lightning.

Nigeria for years has been bedevilled with the way and manner we elect our leaders through the ballot. Campaign or electioneering is not majorly our problem. Over the years, it has dawned on us that manipulation of votes during collation and counting has been our nightmare. Even the institution, INEC on whose responsibility our electoral process was bestowed has not lived up to expectations. Let us not talk about the Judiciary in the sense that should it have been that INEC lived up to its bidding, there wouldn't have been a need for Tribunals or Courts. Though our politicians, the National Assembly (Law Makers) always deliberately create loopholes to navigate and short-change the hope and mandate of the electorates.

Now, on the way forward, I advocate for:

1. Irev should be signed into law as the primary collation media.

2. Mandatory transmission of results electronically from polling units to the Irev by the polling unit officials.

3. Mandatory short and visible video coverage of the Polling unit officials and polling agents all holding written signed copies of form EC8A while the polling unit officials hold the written copy of EC60EC. This clip will not exceed a 1-minute video and will be visible to read the contents of the copies of form EC8A to be shared by all the party agents present at the polling unit and sent to the INEC backend or server.

With this high level of transparency and evidence, I wonder who will be interested in mutilating results or going to court. Confidence in our electoral process will be restored and people will be turning out en masse to vote. Meanwhile, INEC should be very sincere about their 'Technical Glitches' because I wonder how Nigerian Banks and CBN will survive if they can't update Depositors' funds in the name of experiencing 'Technical Glitches' to the extent that our account balances and all statements details can no longer be obtained.
