Your analysis is not totally correct. The only thing correct in your analysis is the salient assumption that 2023 favours Atiku to win. Certainly, it's Atiku may win because North still wants power and are only using Muslim-Muslim Ticket to blindfold the South.

But then, Atiku is angry and would remain so with Obi for leaving PDP. The resignation of Obi from PDP makes Atiku's easy ride to presidency now a difficult but still achievable task. Personally, I feel Obi is the loser for making such a foolish mistake. The decision to leave PDP would also delay SE presidency project for at least 16 years, if not more.

Atiku is very vindictive. He never even congratulate Obi when he got presidential candidate for LP. Atiku would never work with Obi again, let alone to allow PDP zone presidency to SE to favour Obi or who. Aside Obi who else from SE can boost of national popularity. Even Obi isn't popular. The Obedient movement can't stand the test of time. If he loses this 2023 elections which is very more likely, that's the end game for him. SE would prefer other candidates to Obi, frankly. Personally, I see Gov Soludo, if he's quick to forecast the future for himself, by defeating to nationally popularly party. Soludo is a better project for SE than Obi. But even with Soludo, the South generally may find presidency unattainable again because ol constitution does not back power rotation between region. Understanding this, the North intend to use alternative strong political party to retain power. Except the constitution is amended to accommodate power rotation, the North will continue in this game cycle. After Atiku, if PDP brings a candidate from South one of APC/LP/NNPP would bring a candidate from North, hence, they retain power again.

Let us assume ur analysis is correct and that because Obi pool enough votes in SE, and PDP zone presidency to SE in 2031, that would automatically mean they'll loose presidency because APC, NNPP or any major Party would adopt a Northern candidate in order to retiab power in the North.

Kingpin1000:
2 captains cannot sail a ship.
Atiku never said anything until yesterday.
You can see why Obi calls him his boss..
If PDP win Atiku will definitely call Obi to work with him, not for him.
PDP may zone their next ticket to South East if Obi can pull enough votes in 2023 election.
In all na Wike I pity,no matter any form of settlement between wikeand Atiku, He has already burnt the bridge. What Atikuis doing is just letting things fall in place.

Personally, I think Nigerians are too noisy, and naive.
The whole drama about Obi does not even center on real issues on how he could handle real issues, such as constitutional amendments and overall legal reforms, restructuring, unemployment, growing population, liberalisation of the economy, Central Bank reforms, corruptions and others.

Frankly, the problems have been left to get too complex. Even if Obi eventually becomes president, which is most unlikely, I personally see him failing and disappointing us all. Infact, the system has programed it such that even President Buhari regime would be far better than Obi's or whoever gets there.

Whoever gets there, Obi inclusive, has no power to revert prices, exchange rates, and inflation rate. These are pure economic fundamentals that which values have already drifted and settled at specific means. Infact, they may further drift because the economy is yet freed and liberalised. Full liberalisation (removal of oil subsidy, exchange rate intervention and other govt price controls) is fully supported by the IMF. While this is important, it would lead to immediate and medium run increase in price, hence, more hardships for Nigerians, who are mostly unemployed, underemployed, or underpaid. The hard truth is prices will still go up more and more, irrespective of who wins 2023 elections and Nigerians will suffer more.

And like I've written in past comments, noise aparts Obi can't win 2023 and even beyond. He lost his only chance to presidency the moment he left PDP. His chances are high, if he remains in PDP and serve as vice to Atiku, who appears favoured by the North. Obi should have gather experience as vice and show Nigerians what he has to offer. He would have easily ride to presidency, when the mood in the North, would of no doubt, intends a power shift to the South. For now, I suppose that both BAT and PO would not win 2023 election. Shekarau already joining PDP, Wike would never leave PDP, Kwankwaso may be prevailed upon to join efforts with Atiku. This is a game of North versus South, yet the South is divided amongst themselves as well as been fooled to go against a Muslim-Muslim Ticket.

The most nosensical accusation of all time. Aside late Y'adua, Buhari is the only president of Nigeria nobody has ever accuse of looting since assuming office 2015. No scandal such as running foreign business, building multiple hotels, estates, business empires, acquiring land by force to establish large agriculture business, building a university, operating foreign account, having refinery in abroad, selling govt property and organisation to himself. If there is any, trust me with economy becoming so bad under him, the media would have spread all of his loots. This doesn't mean people he entrusted with responsibilities don't steal. Obviously, they do. But Buhari is too satisfied with is cow business only.

SenatePresdo:
Buhari is just waiting for May to reach, so that he can hand over to the next president, then travel abroad and enjoy his loots.

He will never yield to ASUU Demand.


Say No to APC, vote Peter Obi and Datti for a Civilised Nigeria.

Benin people go use jealousy and juju kill you. Stay in Lagos, those people hate progress.

How is that 99.9%? It's 95.0%.

When will Obi visit mosques, and traditional worship centers? If Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso and others are the ones visiting different mosques, I hope Obi's supporters would not be shouting they want to islamise Nigeria.

Obi is taking this campaign too religiously. He should balance things.

Oga help her use the vibrator on her. She cum and you cum too. No quarrel, no competition, and no cheating outside, case closed.

Northerners are only using this as alibi to retain power in 2023 through Atiku. We all know in Nigeria, ethnicity is stronger than religion. Ofcourse they have to look for a loophole to stand on.

If Tinubu had chosen a Christian running mate, it would have been his worse political miscalculation. They'll never accept that Tinubu is a truth Muslim, been married to an assistant pastor. They'll say the Christians want to dominate them. Frankly, majority Northerners elites would tell their people not to vote for him.

If he had chosen a Christain, he was sure to have lost the election even if 100% of Christians vote for him. No wise persons will take that risk. Why follow a path, that leads you to certain loss. With a Muslim-Muslim run, there is at least a 50/50 chance of winning.
Northern politicians who have plans to become President after Tinubu would work for his victory. They'll endure Atiku never wins, because if Atiku does, that may truncate their own dream of becoming president in 2031.

The Northerners are simply using the Christian issue as a sentiments to retain power through Atiku. Trust me, in the North the same people pretending to be fighting for the Christians would campaign against Tinubu as not being a real Muslim. They'll tell the majority Muslims that Allah rejects Tinubu because he's married to a Christian and that he's not fit to rule. Funny enough, the majority of unwise southerners and ofcourse, the Christian Northerners would fall to this manipulation. Eventually, Atiku would emerge in 2023.

Osibanjo, a professor miscalculated to contest against a man in his own politically built party. Why he remains people's choice, he wasn't the delegates choice. Aside, his campaign team was busy campaigning for general election rather than focus on the primary. Osibanjo would have been better of, if he decamps to NNPP. Kwankwaso will accept him, respect him and allow him the Presidency ticket. Kwankwaso can never allow Obi, a small inexperience man, to be president over him. If Osibanjo had follow that path:
- He won't be considered a betrayer as most APC member labelled.
- He'll enjoy background support of Buhari. PYO was actually Buhari's choice.
- Generally, majority Nigerians will prefer Osibanjo/Kwankwaso compare Tinubu/Shittima, Atiku/Okowa and Obi/Baba-Ahmed.
Infact, obi won't get the attention he's getting now had Osibanjo taken that bold step. Obaseki did same and won Edo. Ambode failed to do so, despite his popularity and incumbency, he lost Lagos. Frankly, Osibanjo miscalculated.

As for Obi, presidency is too far from him in reality. Keep sentiments and social media noise apart, Obi lost it the moments he left PDP. He should have remained in PDP, run on joint ticket with Atiku, guarantee easy ride for Atiku, work sincerely with Atiku same way Osibanjo did with Buhari. Trust me, after either 4 or 8 years, when North would not have any claim to presidency based on regional equity, Atiku would allow Obi succeed him. Obi has lost this chance.

Infact, permit me to infar further that Obi has made the South East now farer away from presidency, the least of which is 16 years. If SE support Obi and Atiku finds it tough, but finally emerges as president, after 4-8 years of rule, there will be compelling need for power shift to South. Atiku (who wasn't supported by SE) and the North generally would rather return power to SW. Amongst the South, SW has allow enjoyed the favour of the North, and this may remain the case in 2027 or 2031.

Let me also say that if Tinubu emerged, after his tenure power will shift to the North again. Give or take, except by "Divine" interference that Obi wins it now, there is likelihood that SE won't come near presidency in 16 years.

In sum, if the South wants power in 2023 that can easily be, if they ignore the sentiments of religion and vote BAT. Otherwise, in 2023, the North retains Aso Rock, South retains social media noises and licks their wound.

The following economic principles are guides:

1. Never put all your savings in one investment. Business environments are certainly precarious. A little policy wave may threaten your profit maximisation motives. Optimally, you may invest only 20% of the total savings in a single investment source.

2. Never invest in your money in sources under same or similar wave of controlling factors or policy. For instance, if you invest in forex, don't invest in crypto.

3. Never invest in your current sources of income. Optimal investment are portfolio diversified.

4. Real estates investment are only shock absorbers to curb opportunistic risk of securities and financial volatilities. Don't expect too much from them, they do depreciate in time. For a #10m, you certainly would not want to tie much of that money on "only" real estates. You may as well consider only 20%.

Suggestions:
- Buy one Nigerian use car (#1.3-#1.4m), place it on hire purchase-uber arrangements (@ #2.5m) for the person to deliver #25k weekly.

- Use #1m to buy land in a very cheap area with hope of appreciation future. Don't buy land that is already too overvalued, you won't see your gain in future.

- Look for a local stores/shops/business persons with physical business (better if into essential items like provisions, foods, drinks, drugs, etc). Discuss real business with the persons to support with cash for expansion Take precautions, don't invest more than 10% of the net worth of the person's business. And certainty, maximum of 2% of your savings. You can involve in up to 5-7 independent business of such, which in total should not be more than 10% (#1m) of your savings. Independent means never allow the persons to know each others. And find commitment around them involving family, religion etc. But please only %10 of you income and at best between 5-7 of such businesses, investing between #100k-300k. They can deliver you 5-10% of your investment monthly. Try be merciful, leave the capital for them after you've cash out up to 200% of your investment. Provide business advices to them but don't force or get too involve in their business operations, let them be Independent.

- Buy dollars and keep as cash or in domiciliary account. it'll always appreciate. Only 10-20% of your savings is enough.

- Keep 20% (#2m) as risk free security (bonds, treasury bills. They are also shock absorbers. And put you mind to rest all time.

I hope my suggestions are helpful.

omolola100:
Good evening Nairalanders, please don't mind my Grammer, I'm not a grammarian
One of our colleagues at work invited all members of staff to her sisters wedding in Akure..

The whole staff bought the ASO EBI which was sold 3k, and also paid 2k for the transport which was deducted from my salary.
On the wedding day, we left Ekiti around 8am and got to Akure around 10:20am, the lady welcomed us and directed us to the church venue,the program has not started when we got to the church, they are still waiting for the groom to arrive, the groom set in around after 11, and the program lasted for about 4hrs, throughout the program the pastor was just seeking for donation to build his church, the floor of the church has not been plastered likewise the buglary and Windows, the pastor was just looking for a way to empty our pocket by seeking for donation.

What surprise me most was that when it was time for the couples to receive their wedding ring, they spent about 25minute before the groom showed up, I saw people running after the man as he was looking for a way escape , immediately when the program, we expected the woman to bring our food, I was shocked when the woman said our food is still on fire, they are just preparing our food around 3:00pm, I was boiling with anger, what kind of thing is this? I only took bread and beans in before leaving the house, there is no way of feeding us.

I felt pity for the nursing among us, their kids has been exhausted and now looking like hungry lion, I don't have money on me again, I spent the last penny in paying offering.., I felt like crying that moment, but had to hold myself, I have wasted my time all the way from Ekiti..

Typing.........

Bread and beans is "only"... what would you have taken before? Bread, beans, eba, fufu,..all combined. Bread and beans only should survive one till night in this enduring economy.

Nigeria's problems are "humans" created and can only be resolved by us, if we are sincere with handling them. None of the problem has anything to do with Jesus, as we've been ignorantly propagating. If the problems have something to do with God, it'll have long been resolved. For decades Nigerians have been calling and looking onto God yet the issues keep getting worse daily and would continue getting worse as long as we keep turning to God for problems that we create.

JASONjnr:
The evil in this country.... It will take Jesus Christ as a president to eradicate the nonsense we have as a country into something worth dying for ...


The heart of men that's desperately wicked is a common practice in Nigeria....

Except their intervention means to pervert justice or temper justice with mercy, Ike and wife are heading to jail because they're guilty as charged.

Not based on the boy's explanation. IKe's explanation to them is enough for them to use the word exploitation. When you capitalise on another's ignorance, inexperience, misinformation, to take what belong to them even with their consent, you're exploiting them.

frog12:
they are saying exploitation which is based on the boy's story that he was not told he would be donating a kidney. so ekweremadu wan pull another NASS scam on a boy. hahahahah

Then wait and see how the case unfold. Your politician sometimes are very dull. It's also possible they were advised by an agent who's been into such runs that if they have a document that show that age that the procedure will go smoothly.

But one big issue now is were they actually in possession of a passport with 41 years old as claimed by the doctor and UK police. If so that is a real thing they can't defend, particularly, if they obtaines that through the backdoor (forgery). Don't forget that immigration has come out to claim the boy is 21 years old based on his data on their profile

obailala:
21 and 41 ate both adults, why woykd anyone with a brain make a passport of 41 years old for that kid?

The earth itself and several unexplainable things, including physical things (e.g., discoveries), spiritual things (e.g miracles, prophecies, real juju) and personal experiences (e.g., dreams) , that can only be justified by factors (or attributed to forces) beyond human comprehension are strong evidence of the undoubtable existence of God.

However, several explanations given about God's evidence (attributes, attitudes, rationales), subordinate spiritual forces (angels, devil's, demons) and other after life issues like "hell" and "the paradise" in the various religion (be it Tradition, Christanity, Islam) are frankly not totally correct. To start with none of the glory books (traditional, bible, or Qur'an) is direct facsimile or exact copy, from heavens. Humans, world powers, over aeon of time-past have modified and remodified them, by directly changing the words, removing some verses, chapters, books, contents (as the case with the Bible) or changing the interpretation to suit incumbent situations (as the case with many Islamic Scholars).

Let me give you practical examples. If you're a Christian, maybe turned atheist, and you've once been told "if you are sinless, you pay your titles, ..." then "...you'll live in good health, you'll be more successful, you'll live longer, devil cannot touch you..." these are certainly not all correct. Don't forget Abel was sinless and paid his titles or sacrifice, infact the very best gift that no one can imagine, but he was killed right at the spot (may alter) where he gave the sacrifice. Pastors, Alfas, Babalawos and their children and love ones die despite all their prayers and efforts. These are simple lessons for everyone to know that to live is by chance, life itself is vanity, prepare for your death daily, it's the best gift to rest perfectly, once you've been born. In addition, living old isn't much of a blessing relative to dying young. The most important, die well. Die with the chance that you'll make eternal rest, even if you ain't certain it exist.

In summary, God exist, the evidence are clear, but the explanations offer are falsely inherent overtime and maybe already codified as part of religions books or daily culture that must be transfer from one generation to another.

If you understand this, you shouldn't be an atheist, rather serve God with a personal and expose heart.

sundaygray:
Omo i observed the life, learned different religions sat down and thought about life in general and also, never had a spiritual encounter i have spent money, a lot of money for a spiritual encounter but no level baba.The lack of evidence just make me chill. Unless God appears and shows himself to me, no level

I'm a Christian from the South. If this your suggestion is taken, then it may be difficult for a Southern Muslim to rule this country.

Keep religion out of politics. Truth be told, none of these politicians are truly Christians or Muslims. They are mostly, only by birth, but in terms of practice they combine Tradition, Christainity and Islam. They all have babalawos, pastors and Alfas rendering non-stopping service to them. So don't be deceived.

Didijiji:
If you are an advocate of power shift from the NORTH to the SOUTH

You should also advocate for power from from a MUSLIM to a CHRISTIAN

If not... You are insane and lack generational integrity

I'm a Christian, a very strong one for that matter, but I'll support Tinubu picks a Muslim because that is best for him to win the Northern votes.

Tinubu's wife is a Christian and a pastor already, and that already strike a balance at the presidency. Tinubu appointed and anointed Osibanjo who was a Christian to once take his place. He could have done better than Osibanjo, who join to destroy the economy, alongside Buhari.

keep religion out of politics.

SadiqBabaSani:
Tinubu should Dare Nigerian Christians and pick a Muslim

They probably procure a second "Oluwole" passport for this criminal act. He used the passport with 21 years to travel and try to use the passport with 41 years in the hospital. Na runs things, it only back fire.

Idiotseverywher:
. Me and you know that, this this false , the Nigerian immigration service have already disproved that passport they issue and which was documented is 22 years , which was even shown online, I want to assure you that somebody is busy somewhere spreading false news

"Exploitation" is the term in the law that his crime will be trialed upon. So they have to go through a court process to determine if he actually wanted to exploit him or not. With he evidence on ground, what Ike and wife did is also exploitation

From my observation, they made two passports for the boy - one which shows the boy is 21 years old (which is most likely is real age) and the other passport which shows the boy is 41 years old (which was tendered in the hospital).

The whole process is criminal and exploitation.

obailala:
Up to the point where the boy is put to sleep before the surgery, he still had the right to freely opt out of the process. If the boy's contentious age is cancelled out of the equation, how exactly could the prosecution prove that this was exploitation?

Not only friend, competitive and evil siblings and family members are worse and more dangerous. Unfortunately, we don't really know, even when people and sometimes dreams try to given us pointers, until we fall victims. Three things can happen afterward:

1. One may survive it and be alive struggling to rise up again from the setbacks they've caused you. With current situation of most counties, particularly in Africa and Nigeria, one may eventually not make it back. Particularly, because sometimes it comes with depression, sickness, etc).

2. One may make it back in the long run, like the case of Joseph. However, with Nigerian situation, hypothetically, only 1 in 20,000 (or more) may make it back after being betray, sold out, poisoned.
For both 1 & 2, loots of pastors, alfas, lairs and manipulators may take advantage of you and milk you more, avoid them. What ever you can do best with little or no capital, venture on it and keep you distances from further envious ones.

3. One may be totally free from further and on coming evils in the world, in this case one dies and his lay to rest grave (like the case of Biblical Abel).

My Judgement, biblically No 3 is best. You're now free from evil and corruption of this world.

The boys age, the promise of job, promise of better life in the UK and maybe money paid to his Nigerian account are inducement. But these are not crimes committed on the UK l. They are not charging them based on that because the evidence may not be tenable. What they charged them for with evidence is simple:
...arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.. This charge is simply try with evidence in ground that can't be refuted.

Nigerians have failed to understand something that the police already investigated and know what they have evidence to convict him off. Hence, they didn't charge him for bringing a minor or possible inducement. The charge reads: The charges follow an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime team

They charge him for travel arrangements and exploitation, which they can prove. They don't need any authentication or evidence from Nigerian agency (bank, immigration, NIMC etc,.) to prove his guilty. I'm sure Ike already gave statement which he must have accepted he made the traveling arrangement, and also to harvest, abeit, exploit, the 21/22 year old boy due to his poor background.

With the weight of evidence, except if the charges are modified, chances of which are unlikely, then Ike would be advice by his team of lawyers to plea guilty. The judge would be appeal upon to consider on the fact that he's only trying to save his ailing daughter as a responsible father. He may be convicted with minimum sentence or option of fine. He may be ask to go and take care of the daughter, after which to come and serve the sentence. It is possible as week that he serves while the wife is allow to go and take care of the daughter.

deepwater:
.

I think the UK law frowns upon financial / material inducement for organ exchange. This is where the problem lies not actually on his age.

If there is no record or proof of material exchange for the organ then the Ike family might go scout free. But if there exist any material inducement, that one go be big problem.

Organ is not something that is openly traded. Else people would start breeding humans for the sole purpose of organ sale.


Even, u can't use a condemned criminal on death roll for organ exchange without his or her consent.

The law frowns so much on these things, we pray never to be such positions �

You don't understand the charge against them, the charge before the court says nothing about the boy being a minor, it says conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person (whether minor or adult) with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting. Read and understand the charge. Social media is talking trash about minor and consent, when the real issue is exploitation of the person even if he's 22 years old

thatigboman1:
Sir, the whole noise about the boy's age is because that is the issue in contention. Minor. In UK, minor is 15 years and below. UK doesn't deport minors. If the boy had claimed to be 16, he would have been put in the next plane back to Nigeria. But as a minor, a vulnerable child in UK seeking asylum, they will protect him and provide for him and he can stay in UK till he dies. That's why the age is so contestous.

This writer is oblivious of the real charge against Ike and wife before the UK court. The writer claimed they were arraigned before the Uxbridge Magistrate Court for alleged conspiracy to facilitate the travel of Ukpo, alleged to be a minor, for organ harvesting. This is certainly not true. The writer is only quoting a statement by the Metropolitan Police. A statement from the police in public domain is not same as the charge in the court. The statement may not often present the charge as stated.

According to reports: The charges against them, which already follow "an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime team" is as follows:

“[A] Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55 (10.9.66) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.

“[B] Ike Ekweremadu, 60 (12.05.62) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.

In summary, the charges before Ike and wife the have nothing to do with whether David is a minor. The "age issue" or whether they paid him handsomely is not a concern in this case. Infact, paying him commecially to donate organ is by itself a crime in the UK, so the IKe's wouldn't defend based on that. Authentication of age is not a defense in the case before the UK court.

If the age is confirmed by Nigerian investigations, the charges still remain. "Conspiracy to arrange travel of another "person" .... (a person can be adult or minor). That's isn't a mistake. Pls read within lines. Ike and wife may not escape this, except if the charges are later modified and that would involve lots of diplomacy frm the Buhari's govt.

I'm afraid if this advise would serve you a guide. As you're thanking God for not sustaining any external injury, you need to also thank Him for not sustaining internal (spinal cords, nerves, etc.) injuries. This is important for your thanks to be plentiful as well as avoid "future", I had know.

Some accidents that leave no trace of external injuries end up showing internal injuries, internal blood clots, severe low back pain, strokes etc, in time to come. And then, it would have been so complex that one may not even trace it to the past accident but to other factors, in particular spiritual and village people etc. At that point, one would see all forms of liars (fake Pastors, fake Alfas, fake Babalawos, and even some original ones) taking advantage to milk one dry. Lying day and night without any solution. Hospital too may be doing try and errors, yet one keeps spending and that substantiate their so called spiritual theory as the likely cause, which may be pure lies.

My 2 cents, if you'll take it, please perfect God's miracle, go for the best of scan (can't remember the names) but definitely, the hospital will guide you better. After that try all forms of massages, including warm water and towel massage, on you body from cervical parts to the lumber spin. This is very important to free any blood cloths, heal the nerves. It's not pleasant to the body but try do this 3-5 times in the first week (if you don't have any external injury on your body) and subsequently once a week for the next two months. Please avoid areas around you heart or chest, you can use other massage for that. Also the massage, try apply "Ori" (Shea butter). You may also check if cold water massage is the most appropriate at this time, I think the hospital would guide better or you do self study online.

Also, take enough vitamin B12 for at least 6 months.

Please consider my advise from all sincerity and don't ignore any. They are from a very experienced mind. May God help you in totality, amen.

Don't take vitamin C when you have canker sour, it's acidic and would worsen the sore. You may only take enough vitamin C, continuously, when the sore has been healed.

[quote author= post=114205805]To help relieve pain and speed healing, consider these tips: Rinse your mouth. Use salt water or baking soda rinse (dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup warm water).
Dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on your canker sore a few times a day.
And as someone suggested above, take a lot of Vitamin C.

This works very fast.
We hope it helps
All the very best.[/quote]

The result is that, while Obi remains my choice as much as yours, frankly speaking, Obi cannot win the election on 100% free and fair situation. Obi is currently in a party with even average grass root present, a party without 10% of local government chairmen and even governors, in both North and South to help sell his candidacy based on constraints the present electoral laws and constitution placed us. The very best for Obi at the money, if he ever wants to be president is to team up as vice with Kwankanso, after which he can actualise his presidential dream. But even if he did, there is not even a 30% assurance that Kwankwaso/Obi ticket will the presidency but then they would have successfully gain some grounds and maybe win some senatorial and rep positions in preparation for another election, if the merger still hold water.

But for now, Obi can't win. He can't even come close. He should have remain in PDP, take VP position, and with that Atiku/Obi stands more chance than Atiku/Okowa, as some northerners (not all) would definitely still betray Tinubu for Atiku but we can't tell for now if the betrayal will be sufficient to get Atiku/Okowa the presidency, but I would have been sufficient to get Atiku Obi the presidency given the Muslim-Muslim ticket APC are naturally constrained to project, if they need to win.

Frankly, Tinubu will come out with Muslim-Muslim ticket, they'll sell the position of the wife being a pastor in RCCG to suppress CAN and PFN. They'll also use the fact that he delayed his ambition to allow a RCCG pastor PYO to become VP to sell the his candidacy

GoooodHardDick:
Why is Tinubu and Atiku the two old cargos afraid of peter Obi?

I keep saying it Remove Ethnicity, remove religion:

Tell me one reason to vote Tinubu or Atiku over Obi..
Just ONE!!

Am waiting

This is called mouth blister or canker sore. It's usually a symptom of maleria, particularly when your immune system is several down before the malaria occurs. In addition, it'll be reoccurring anytime you're stressed or anytime you have little cut in you mouth, which may expand and turns sore.

Solutions:
The only thing you can do about it for now is to treat maleria and use TCP. Please do not take vitamin C, whether fruits or drugs, at the moment. Try endure the the pain, it'll heal naturally 1-3 weeks depending on the ability of your immune system to heal.

Once it has healed, then you can start taking vitamin C 1000mg daily. You should take fruits as well, if you have the financial capacity. Otherwise, daily vitamin C is ok. But don't ever take vitamin C, and if possible avoid any acidic fruits, while the sore is still there, it'll will expand more.

I hope this help.

Wetin concern u and spec, Bleep her tight pussy

Demigod22:
My mom have a friend, a very good one. The woman really like me because I am a boy and she doesn't have a male child, so she holds me in high esteem. She has five daughters, my senior, my age mate and my juniors.

Since I returned back from school after my final exam, the respect is becoming too much, my mom started complaining about me being single and her friend becoming more friendlier. Her third daughter just graduated too, and my mom is trying everything for two of us to date. Recently, the started chatting me up frequently and I discovered she is not my spec. She is this spiritual and religious Bible kind of girl and I am a liberal. When I told her that I am not spiritual nor religious, I can see the shock on her face.

She doesn't wear trouser, no earrings nor necklace, a very decent girl by appearance of course, and that's the kind of girl I want. She is even complaining that I am too unstable because I am always traveling every now and then and she doesn't like it.

I am not ready for any relationship right now and I don't want any relationship that involves two families. I will get a girlfriend for myself whenever I am ready. So I told my mom to bury that thought, it won't happen and she said I am too stubborn and rebellious and radical, I smiled and said nothing.

So has your parents ever try to match make you with anyone before? Please share your experience.

You assumption is unfair. I'm a Christian but I don't believe the choice of Tinubu has anything to do with him been a Muslim. BAT is a party man, a focused one for that matter. He has never jump from one party to another, rather he formed alliance with other parties to make his party stronger. He is the Landlord of his party.

How do you expect a non politician, a non party man like Osibanjo who has enjoyed favor of f appointments and nominations by BAT to defeat him? Technically he can't. Osibanjo is love by electorates not by delegates. If he was sure Nigerians want him, he should have left APC (a party found and funded by BAT) to form his own party and test his love in general election.

You can't be on a ride on another man's car to a journal and want to control him. As a professor he should have know better. He saw what happened to Ambode, he did not learn. He should have learn from Obaseki, who sort election from another party.

Frankly, the VP is not politically smart. This is one and his only chance, he may eventually go underground after the general election.

Spot on.

My gut tells me that; of the 3 top contenders Tunubu, Amaechi and Osinbajo,
they went with Tinubu because he is a Muslim.

They saw Tinubu as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to have their cake and eat it; cede power to the South and still have a Muslim as President.

The best option was still Osinbajo; with the support of Buhari, the South West and them Northern governors, PYO would defeat Atiku all day everyday.

It appears you people don't understand Buhari. He doesn't interfere in internal processes. It's just the cabals ( family and friends) all along trying to influence processes, policies, and appointment. Democracy weakened him.

Permit me to say that democracy in Nigeria is witchcrafting. Unfortunately, the General never knew until he gets to power. He had thought he would use his military and fearless prowess but they use juju (sickness and distractions) finish the man. Buhari became so humbled and dull. Hence, the cabals took over.

Technically, Buhari is tired of governance. He never envisage what he met. A look at his facial expressions during the just concluded presidential primary says it all. That man wants to return to village and go and rest. He can't wait to hand over to someone else and be living a very quiet life till God calls.

Frankly, Buhari is a victim of witchcraft in politics, just as much as late Yar'Adua. Fortunately, his own case didn't lead to death. He's a survival, lets keep praying for him.

The fact that Sen. Abdullahi Adamu declared Sen. Ahmed Lawan as consensus candidates and was immediately disowned by slippery Pres. Buhari really painted him in bad light. He worsened his case by humiliating the APC State Governors when he refused to meet with them on the issue and went into hiding.

Difficult to say if he was used by the cabal or if Pres. Buhari really wanted Sen Ahmed Lawan to be president. But one thing is certain, he will be lucky to remain the national chairman after 2023 elections.
