Hmm! I said it and will keep saying it, Wike is a huge force to reckon with in PDP, if they allow this guy leave, the end is indeed near for PDP.
Back to years when PDP was in turmoil and disarray, those years when the likes of Saraki, Atiku and the rest were junketting around different political parties, when PDP was so broke to the extent that they could not pay rent at their Abuja head office, when they became so broke that they could not pay even staff salaries at the party office. It was this Wike of a man that came to their rescue with his personal and Rivers money! And you're telling me this man does not deserve to be the party presidential candidate? Worst of it, he could have been offered Vice President slot.

PDP is gone with or without Wike. If Obi loses let Tinubu take it

naptu2:
What about the loss to Cameroon in 1989?

This was 88, MAROC 88 I think

ekanx27:
No one come close like that Aiyegbeni Miss

Yes I agree. It was easier to score than kick the ball away as he did

Mine was MAROC 88 when a clean goal from Henry Nwosu's was disallowed by the referee. Cameroon later won 1-0. I still feel the pains and disappointment of that day.

SmartPolician:
This comment is totally needless.

Do you people even think before writing?

It is as needless as your collective condemnation is needless. There is no difference between you and the person you are condemning.

Realtalk20:
He sounded unstable and depressed throughout the video .

Will Smith is like one of those people that keeps giving and giving no matter what you ask of them. Now that's not a bad thing except you are married to someone like Jada who is a taker. such people will take and take until your well is dried up and you have nothing else to give.
Will Smith throughout this video looked like someone whose well is dried up totally..

He seems detached , emotionally exhausted and unstable. Some people said what he did was good by slapping chris rock , he was standing up for his wife , really ? Was she standing up for him when she dragged him out on live national TV and told him about cheating on him repeatedly with kids ?

Will Smith's life is a lesson to all wise men, becareful who you marry.. becareful whom you go on one knee and propose to. Be very careful.

Will Smith looks like one of those men whom we will wake up one day and hear that he shot his wife and kids to death one morning.

It's sad how marrying the wrong wife can change your trajectory. The saddest thing is, he was happily married to a decent woman and had a son with her who is normal until he met Jada and cheated on his wife

Super comment. The wrong wife can change your trajectory in life. Only strong men can pull through nevertheless.

Hope an ISIS style is invasion does not happen in Nigeria.

Nwodosis:
No matter how painful it may be, broken relationship is better than broken marriage!

In a marriage relationship is key. Hence a broken relationship is = to broken marriage

The way Atiku spoke about 90% northerners who are not on internet makes me to be very concerned. For him it is a positive development that can work in his favor. Hence that 90% may not be discerning or concerned about the quality of the candidates. On the contrary Obi referred to same as a problem to be solved.

Buhari will not be president today if he gave up trying. Please let Ogboru be.

Not right at all. That guy is plain stupid.

Chai.

NgeneUkwenu:
This one go pain IPOB Labour Party Hoodlums, who want to sneak their ESN sponsor Peter Obi as the President of a country they called a Zoo.

We told IPOB terrorists who are sponsoring Peter Obi, they can't have their cake and eat it, they thought we were joking.

Nigerians behold your incoming President:

Senator, AfamChukwu Bola Ahmed Zulum Tinubu.

That was Tinubu 90 years ago

These people are playing politics of the old which is passing away. Unknown to them the wind of change is blowing

Majority of the comments show Nigerians are united in the push for positive change. I am very happy for this. Once again we have an opportunity to rescue this sinking ship. Kudos nairalanders.

Badboibipo:
Girls are really not so bad. Yes many of them have attitude issues and bad personalities but the truth is every girl have genuine kindness and goodness in her but they hardly show it because they DONT like you!

Yes, your girlfriend or even your wife may not like you as much as you like them. You bought her and you may never experience the best version of that girl because she’s not as into you as you are into her.

Have you heard a girl complain about a guy saying hello to her and calling him a “stalker” ? Do you know that same girl will tell her friends that another “perfect gentleman” is following her everywhere and she thinks he’s so romantic?

Two guys doing the same thing to the same girl but different reactions. That’s the life of women, they love the same thing they complain about, it all just depends on who is doing it.

Find a girl that likes you genuinely, stop buying women with money, very wrong move. You will never get the best version of her like that, they will use you and once a better option comes they will dump you in a second.
Don’t impress girls with money, if you truly want a good woman make sure she likes you for anything but not because of your pocket! That’s the worse way to get a woman.

This should not only be for me but for women too.

RZArecta:
What case does Akpabio have ? They're just trying to illegally compensate him so he won't lose relevance for four years both ways. He contested for presidency in the APC primaries where the election took place before the senatorial primaries. His name can NEVER have been on both nomination forms hence he contested ONLY the presidential primaries so what does he want Mike Igini to do ? Even if INEC carelessly orders a rerun primaries today (not possible) he still can't contest because the names given by both alleged factions could never logically contain include Akpabio except the APC wants to do it's usual abracadabra bastardization of legal processes

Even if they do the courts are there. APC will never get away with it. Akpabio should just go and rest.

Previous haters of Simon Ekpa will buy this message because it speaks negative about their nightmare Peter Obi.

Oladelepsy001:
Tinubu would boldly mention Mr. Ben Akabweze and Engr. Joe Igbokwe..

How come it's only these two since time immemorial. Let him try other Igbo as well

stabilizer:
Peter Obi will never and can never be the president of this country.

Infact he will never be.

Obi is too small to rule a country like Nigeria.

He will either become third or fourth in the presidential race result


I don't even like the shape of his head

How can you say that Obi is small. I believe it's because you are too small to recognize his might. Obi is a mighty man. Not in the sense of thuggery as many of you are disposed to admire but in the sense of character and knowledge. He is a great man my friend.

This man is something else. Keeps breaking new grounds. Despite his mistakes he is among the finest of Nigerian leaders. May GOD grant him many more years. We love OBJ

DeepSight:
I really squirm at your need to refer to the third eye in order to justify the competitive nature of survival in nature. You do not need to go that far to see that it has its plusses. Elementary things such as the activity of predators keeping prey populations active, fit and trim are just one example. None of this takes anything away from the sheer brutality involved. It also does not suggest it could not be any other conceivable way.

What appears obvious to me is that the architects of this reality have a vested interest in sadistic activity and that there is probably a sense in which they engage in some perverse cosmic masturbation over the manifestation of evil and sadism.

To be quite honest. I don't know what to respond here. I trust I will one day

But this is an old writeup

DeepSight:
The nature of Earth life is not my personal experience sir. It is the general observable nature of Earth life as a whole. What animals do to one another to survive in the wild, is for example, not my personal experience, is it? Do they go about cuddling one another or is it a fact that it is a brutal and competitive battle for survival. Is that my personal experience or is it a fact? Is it also not a fact that there are parallels for this in human society.



Whilst appreciated, sometimes these types of high sounding responses which reach for a noble tone can be very tiresome because they say exactly nothing.

There is a big picture behind what you think to be brutal and competitive battle for survival. If you have developed the 3rd eye you will make a sense of it. There is no magic in nature. Don't forget nature developed over several billion years. It took quite some time but it had to be because everything is deliberate and planned. Nature did not materialize from the blues.

DeepSight:
I can only assure you that I have held this view before and cherished it deeply. I have walked this path of a "seeker" for a long time - at least 30 years - I am not a young man. However, I feel certain today that there is something within us which has a survivalist need to attempt to "believe" in and have a greater hope out there than what we are faced with. I trust you know that hope is critical to survival, to any meaningful existence, and indeed to soundness of mind. In this way, if you are truly open minded you will also avert your mind to the psychological impact of hope in the way mankind constructs ideas of a benevolent, loving and merciful God in the face of a harsh reality which volubly speaks the contrary.

We are compelled to do this because we cannot bear the spectre of a meaningless life, of randomness, of injustice and brutality as parts of nature, and we also cannot bear the spectre of death - something we know nothing of whatsoever. It is therefore in our psychological interest to construct such pleasant and comfortable notions of reality even when the bare face of it tells most evidently of something manifestly more sinister.

All of this does not mean I do not have my private spiritual ideas of the universe and reality: its just that if you are truly open minded as you say, then you would not take and insist on a one dimensional story of beauty and justice and love and mercy even when there is more than sufficient evidence for the contrary.

I think you are speaking about your personal experiences chiefly. My own experience is very different. The paths we work to higher knowledge is not necessarily the same for everyone. Don't worry about the length of time you spend or your age. I wish you all the best.

DeepSight:
How do you know this please? I suppose you believe in Karma?

Yes, I believe in Karma. My suggestion to anyone in a quest to know more about the material world and beyond is to have an open mind. Keep it simple and stay childlike and honest; not holding tenaciously to what you know already. You will develop the 3rd eye and to your surprise things will be opened to you at the time you least expected. It will be like recognizing a glow of light that was always there but was not seen because the individual has his eyes closed all the time. No one can do it for you. For me I look at nature and see the Love, Mercy and Justice of GOD. I also feel a sense of gratitude because everything was provided in endless quantities, in abundance. GOD is great.

Joe Igbokwe strategy is only to deceive his Yoruba hosts and also pave his way. It is working for him.

DeepSight:
There is something really curious about the age old human mind set which seeks to conjure into existence a creator of this world who is loving and merciful in a warm and cozy way. This can only be attributable to humanity's need to find some comfort and solace in what is otherwise a dark, perplexing, cold, brutal and nasty existence. People just have this inherent need to believe in this idea of some warm love awaiting us beyond the horizon, and it is in fact entirely understandable because without such crutches to hold on to, humanity may actually collectively despair.

When people look at the doubtless beauties and wonders of nature they exclaim "God is wonderful!" However each time I hear this sort of reaction I am just befuddled at how people are selective with respect to what they see. The truth about Earth life is far starker: every living thing must consume other living things in order to survive, living things are thrust into a desperate and competitive battle for survival and if there is anything that is certain about the wild - it is its sheer brutality. Nature is cold, pitiless and unrelenting - and it operates without any discernible sentiments - it is absolutely unemotional - the weak new born creature will die off quickly - often being killed by its own siblings or other creatures who will tear it up as a quick and easy snack - and the killing methods of most animals are absolutely pitiless. Many people try to say that the evil in the world is solely attributable to mankind, but one only has to take a look at nature and the wild to know that this is a massive lie: strife and brutal competition are hardwired into the very fabric and system of Earth life at all levels.

In addition to all of this, there is the existential conundrum of purpose faced by those creatures such as our selves who are sapient enough to contemplate death. No matter how lucky you may be in this life, no matter how long and prosperous your life may be - death still awaits you - and everyone you love. You will either mourn them or they will mourn you - and this is a best case scenario because it could always be that you all perish at once in some mass disaster or even die young. Humans throughout the ages have invented stories to comfort themselves about the cold reality of death but the truth is that probably no one has ever had any idea as to what happens at death and most probably no one ever will. All that we do is console ourselves with every manner of religious and spiritual myth and fantasy in this regard - and death - implacable as ever, remains un-appeased. There is thus a very significant possibility that everything that we are is and will be entirely meaningless in a short while for one and all and the universe will not even notice our extinction as a species.

Worst of all, life is, and always has been richly spiced with such unspeakable heart wrenching tragedies that one must shudder at the thought of existing on this plane at all, given the seeming randomness with which such events are flung into the lives of even the gentlest and kindest of us. When we are forced to wonder why we were born, some are wont to say that we had a pre-existence in which we ourselves requested to come to this world. While this is a thought that I must confess I myself have often leaned towards, the stark truth is that no one knows this for sure: all that we know is that one day we just open our eyes and find ourselves here and that's it: its a rat race of horror until death.

All of the above and much more grounds my belief that if a God exists who created this world, he/she/it can only be a cold and maniacal sadist of the worst kind imaginable.

But the happenings are not arbitrary.

Zetra7:
Explicit photos are circulating online of a lady known as Shirlfinest on twitter with Peter Obi as evidence of accusation that the LP presidential candidate Peter Obi raped her on the 5th August 1998.


Jagabanians, don't know whether this story is good ooo, not an expert in these things. Am just trying to help, my job is to raise more cash for City boy but you guys are so dull, just too sluggish.

Have told you oga will release cash, work first, don't allow these guys to seize the media space, how can PO be the controlling tweets in this country.

Dig deeper, there must be something somewhere otherwise nothing wrong in cooking up stories.

In less than 2 months, Peter Obi have raised an army without paying a penny, what happens when he starts paying, guys wake up...

Calling him Pandora is a waste of time, seems the IPOB thing is not that strong , think seeing him Louis Vuitton shop is lame, we need something very strong, like the rape strong.


This go and verify fraudster will never be our president.

Thanks for making me have a good laugh in this cold evening

Dubaku543:
Tinubu is almost turning a vegetable. He no longer has anything upstairs. He is being carried about and aided to walk. He can't remember nor process technical new information, the world is highly technical and on a computer age in terms of this Tinubu is archaic as compared to this new trend. Tinubu can't make an engaging and highly intriguing speech any longer without looking into his papers to peep into what someone copied for him. Tinubu can't even hold a firm grasp unto a pen. How will he sign numerous documents round his table? Presidency is more difficult than medicine and law combined. Buhari moved Nigeria from developing country to under developed country because of his loss of brain cells accompanied with age. In essence, what I am telling you is that Tinubu's government will be hijacked by behind the scene political actors who have nothing to loose but everything to gain because they won't be held responsible for any misappropriation. And I will always finger SWAGA.

Tribalism and ethnicity has blinded most of our folks and they will not see the essence of your post.

MikeofAfrica:
You are accusing igbos of bigotry while you are displaying the same bigotry. In 1993, M.K.O defeated Tofa in Anambra even though Today has an Igbo V.P.
In 1999, Onu stepped down for Falae to compensate yorubas for June 12.
In 2003, OBJ defeated Buhari in SE even though Buhari has an Igbo V.P.
No tribe in Nigeria love yorubas like igbos that is why millions of igbos live in SW. You cannot live in the land of a person that you hate.
Igbos do not like Tinubu becos he is not credible. They also do not like Andy Uba and Hope Uzodimma becos they are not credible. If Osinbajo and Andy Uba contest election in igboland, Osinbajo will defeat him.
Hence igbos have nothing against yorubas but will not accept a character like Tinubu.

Deep thinking my dear

Transcriber:
it's simple logic
Ibadan has internal cities that are bigger than any town in SE

That's like saying Togo is finer than Nigeria because Nigeria has more dirty land
And why are there more yeebos in Ibadan than there are Yoruba in SE?

Go to Bódìjà

Bodija ke. My sister has a house there. It is not much either
