DKM123:Nyasom Wike has done what 'Napoleon' can not do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_hyV3u04mA |
haffaze777:Wike has done what 'Napoleon' can not do! No open campaign for his preferred candidate and he was still able to pass his message across through his 'foot soldiers'. Wike is also a Master strategist. He just cleverly positioned himself as a dependable ally for the APC, in the South-South geo-political zone if he is interested in crossing the aisle to the other side of the divide.

obembet:Nigeria did not offend Papa Awo and he bears no grudge against the country before his death. He was freed from imprisonment by General Gowon and made the Vice Chairman of FEC and he was highly instrumental in bringing the civil war to an end. He was given the highest honor in the land reserved for Presidents and Heads of States, GCFR, by General Babangida. He was also given a well deserved state burial by the government after his death. I am sure Baba Awo, of Blessed memory, is happy with Nigeria, in the world beyond, where he is currently taking eternal rest The person wey I think say we offend for Nigeria na 'Our Man', chief MKO Abiola. He won a free and fair election and his mandate was not given to him because of the selfish interest of some 'powers that be', in Nigeria. GMB tried making amends for the wrong done by the Nigeria state by recognizing the validity of his election and proclaiming June 12 as Democracy Day, in Nigeria. He was also awarded the GCFR posthumously, as a former President of Nigeria. |
onuman:There are only permanent interests in politics. Atiku was once in the same party with Tinubu while Peter Obi was a PDP member couple of months ago. |
ImperialYoruba:A wise Ibo man once gave a frank assessment of his people, the Igbos of South Eastern Nigeria. His opinion is summarized below;

PoloG:'Omo Iya-mi', you forgot to mention #2 & #4. Power, Works & Housing combo, nko? We would have been tagged an 'Oliver Twist' Nation if we ask for more, under PMB. Whatever shortfall experienced under PMB's government will be fixed by 'Bola-omo-Tinubu' ![]() |

MzErica:His supporters will come out to say that the two likely winners, Atiku or Tinubu, influenced voters with money or they will cast aspersions on Northern Christians for taking sides with their 'slave masters', the Fulanis. |
Segzy19: Peter Odi did a lot in Anambra state, as governor. One of his 'landmark achievements' in governance, in Anambra state, was to make education inaccessible to the poor by declaring publicly that 'education is not for the poor'. Professor Soludo was quoted to have said that 'poverty level', doubled under Obi's stewardship, in Anambra state.

maasoap:Ameen. |
[/color] seunmsg:I beg Bros. kindly correct the bolded, in your post. Obi's Lagos campaign flop is more of 'AfghanEastern show of shame' and did not in any way, reflects or indicates any 'national show of shame'. Thanks. |
MightySparrow:Thanks. |
duro4chang:I never really paid any serious attention to the 'Akudaya' phenomenal until a friend sent the attached YouTube video, which got me speechless and confused. |
Akudaya is a Yoruba term which refers to spirit of people that are confirmed dead in one place but go to live elsewhere. It can be roughly interpreted in English as “living Wraith”. It’s a core Yoruba belief and many tales are told of people that die in one area and go and start another life elsewhere. The word “wraith” means an apparition or double of a living person or a ghostlike image of someone, especially one seen shortly before or after their death. It’s a popular belief in Britain, and some other parts of Europe. Wraiths are believed to be an omen of death. The wraith closely resembles its prototype in the flesh, even to details of dress. There are accounts of people seeing their own wraith, and among those who were warned of approaching death in this way are said to be Queen Elizabeth I, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Catherine of Russia. Catherine of Russia was said to have seen her double seated upon the throne, Catherine ordered her guards to fire upon it. The wraith is slightly different from the Akudaya in the sense that they seem to just appear at certain times and go away. The Akudaya in the Yoruba parlance is believed to stay and live a full life and sometimes they’re even said to have children. (I know this can be scary, who do we know we’re relating with that’s dead and buried somewhere?). Another term used similar to the Akudaya is dopplegänger, dopplegänger is a German word that means “double walker”. A dopplegänger is a non-biological look alike of a person, sometimes not even from the same country. Dopplegänger differs from the Akudaya and the Wraith as they are living beings that just look exactly like a person. Back to the Akudaya, there is a famous tale is told among the Yorubas. It’s of a man that died at quite a young age and was buried by his family somewhere close to the family house. The man though didn’t “RIP” as people believed. He went to a far away town and started a new life(ironic I know) even though he was already dead. He got married and had children. After a while his wife started pressing to meet his family, the Akudaya kept postponing and dodging. Then one day he couldn’t anymore, he took his wife to his parent’s house but just before they got there he said he had to get something and was going to join her, he directed her to the house. His wife got to the house and met the Akudaya’s mother. The mother couldn’t believe what she was hearing, she took the wife to where her son had been buried years ago. The Akudaya was said to never be seen again. Whether he went on to live another life elsewhere or finally rested no one knows. This story isn’t documented in writing and is only passed down through verbal communication, hence there can be some loss of details or some add-ons along the way. So incase you’ve heard this particular Akudaya tale before and it doesn’t sound exactly like this. Well, this is the version that got to me.

Corrinthians:This your analogy, 'tire me, Bros'. How will a human being contemplate suicide because of hatred for a fellow human. 'I dey come, make I ask Emeka if he fit do wetin you write for your post.' |
anonymous1759:You actually put it mildly in comparison to the way their 2nd savior, Uwazuruike put it.
|
abdul23:He bows and knells to the least of Aso rock cabal circle. Emefiele is a typical Nigerian public servant.with 'AGIP' mentality.

onuman:Katsina's 'stone throwers' madness na child's play where Kano own dey. The barrage of messages from Kano, shooting directly at Baba was too incendiary for Baba to handle. First it was Yakassai, followed by GanDollar and HOR majority leader, Dogara. Buhari knows that the 'Kano stone throwers' could be let loose by these 'musketeers' and it might ignite the whole North which is already in a combustible state and when that happens, your guess is as good as mine. Bubu & APC's stakeholders' fight is fast turning to a case of 'cunning man dies, cunning man bury am'. https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/ganduje-writes-president-buhari-shelve-your-trip-to-kano/

Emekaonline:I gave up on Nigeria, as presently constituted, when OBJ, with his pontificating and 'holier-than-thou' attitude, was also mired in corruption as exposed during his battle, with Abubakar 'Akotileta'. Atiku's counter allegation against OBJ's allegations of corruption, against him, was presented to the Senate, by Atiku and 'Baba Iyabo' did not come out clean. The matter was handled as a 'PDP family affair', as usual, just the same the kidnapping of a sitting Governor, by OBJ's in-laws, in Anambra state was handled. The =N=16.5 billion spent on 'darkness generation', by Obasanjo's government, without any reprisal by successive governments is also an indication that even Arch Angels, will fail in tackling corruption, in Nigeria. https://www.inigerian.com/obasanjo-and-atiku-war-fasawe-arrest-too-close-to-call/ |
Obaaderemi2:Ben Akabueze, an Igbo man, was hired by Tinubu, to manage Lagos' finance when Tinubu was Governor of Lagos state. Show me any other leader, at state level, that has given such appointments to a personality from a completely different tribe if not a man that has a 'passion' for excellence, which BAT, is. |
Asgard13:'Afonjas' and 'Osus' are standing on different pedestals, in Nigeria. If you are in doubt, ask your political leaders in Yeeboland. The 'Afonjas' were the tribe that 'stepped up' when your 'Fulbe masters' were scheming to deny Ebele from the Presidency after Yar'adua's 'disappearance and eventual death. None of your leaders dare querry your 'Fulbe masters' when the agitation was ongoing. You might want to ask your leaders about what transpired during the reing of two serving Northern military Heads of State over the annulment of 1993 elections and 'Afonjas' insistence that an 'Afonja' must be compensated for the annulment of MKO's victory. You might also want to ask your leaders why Ekwueme was dropped for an OBJ who barely stepped out of prison for plotting against the Nigeria state. We all have our strengths, Bros, but when it comes to pedigree and influence in the Nigerian state, we are not equals. 'A ju ara wa lo, ti ijakadi ko' (wise saying of Yoruba elders). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_odAy4rVz8

Bluntemperor:Our Brothers from the 'land of hatred', aka as 'Osu Land', have a different opinion about elections involving a 'Fulbe' and an 'Afonja'. Abubakar Shekau, Sheik Gumi or Ibrahim El-Zakzaky will come out victorious against any 'Afonja', in a free and fair election in 'Biafraudland'. Indeed, the 'Fulbes' are the Lord & Savior of our 'Osu' Brothers, from Igboland.

ElSudani:I am surprised Obi's hand-picked successor, Obiano, did not come out to refute Soludo's total condemnation of Obi's legacy, in Anambra state. And on a final note, when is Peter Obi going to drag Obiano to court, to clear his name of the =N=7.5 'campaign reimbursement' allegation way back in 2017?

Bigfish121:Million of lives lost in an attempt to save the lives of less than 20 inconsequential mutiners. So sad this happened. |
Polchiz:Well said. I really appreciate your comment, sir. |
priceactionx:All the points listed in your piece, is the reason why Nigeria, as presently constituted, will remain in perpetual stagnation until the component units are able to find their bearings as independent states. |
