The man that increase poverty rate as governor of small anambra state that is not up to one LGA in Niger state, is here speaking like a clown 🤡. First day in office Kee you there

Normally I no dey take ur likes seriously, but you should be REMINDED poverty has INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY under your principal.

Try dey look mirror!

phemray:
Am not sure u understand what is going on. Ask yourself first, is ADC a party Registered yesterday? INEC or anyone is not care about people that decamped to ADC last year. ADC have been going to elections before now and have no reason not to prepare Thier register ready like every other party. No sentiments.

Sadly you are the one that doesn't know what is going on, or did the 2022 electoral laws make it compulsory that members of a political party must be registered electronically (e-registration)? And if it is changing for 2027 why is d president consenting to a law that gives d opposition bearly a month to do something that took d ruling party over a year?(put in mind APC started ds e-registration last year n wants d opposition to run it within a month, organize their primaries etc) - Is it fair to them, that is all I ask, if they wanted them to submit their hardcopy party membership register I am sure they can do that, but asking them to submit electronic membership register (they'll be lucky to av upto 1million online registered member within a month, n INEC will use part of ds data to defend APC if they rig emselves in) It goes on n on.... To think the same ruling party asking for e-registration of members refused compulsory e-transmission of results just shows u their true intentions.

It is sad, pathetic n unfair and I personally hate injustice - this has nothing to do with been a member of any party... I want a nation that works for all, not one that we all rig each other out in business, politics, finance, career etc...as a black nation, our brain no generally suppose dey wired to cheat ourselves or others.

You said my party plays dirty politics,yes it does just the same way your party plays it. But also remember that politics itself is a dirty game. If you can't play dirty game,then leave politics and let those who know how to play dirty game play it. Your darling party is weak and unprepared. Do you know it was not my party that prepared INEC timetable? Do you know that according to the electoral acts, there is a time frame for election? It's like your party is ignorant of this.
Finally, your outburst reveals how jittery you are. You are no more comfortable. You are demoralized. You had better wait until 2031 because 2027 can't favour you. You were beaten hands down in the FCT election even in Anambra gubernatorial election. What are you still expecting. Failure is staring at your party. The iron condemned politicians.

Like I predicted, I knew you'll not answer my questions but drag this to a different angle where u r comfortable, it is exactly why I said you lot are pathetic!

#YSK I have never been a member of any political party all my life n MAY never be one, so quit d insinuation that anyone who points out injustice is an ADC member - I guess they may be d good guys since u r assuming I am one of em for not supporting something wrong.

#And yes, I'll be here to point out whatever I perceive is wrong that is met out to y'all (in d APC today) in the future.

#Peace, I'll only reply you here again when you answer my first question n make ds conversation issue/facts-based.

duro4chang:
What has your darling party doing all this while? If they are not ready they should get out and let the parties that are ready go ahead. They claimed election timetable coincided with Ramadan fasting,it was brought forward. Now they are complaining.

Very 4ny, you lot are pathetic! I asked you a simple question but instead of answering u had to shift the narration, from where you'll twist everything to suit the narration in ur head - Agenda must Agenda 😅(I already know you know ur party played dirty politics here but against ur conscience (if u stl av any) you av to pretend ADC are d bad guys).

You shd know tho, everything should not be politics, who knew NNPP Abba will move to d ruling party 2yrs ago, did anyone expect UBA Sani n El-rufai to be at loggerheads today, or that Rev Alia n SGF to be in a tussle?

Always do what is right, cause we will all taste of the right or wrong we did here before we rest with our fathers.

#Ire oo

duro4chang:
Yes we did. What have they been doing all this while? They still have a month now to rush and prepare their papers to INEC. Perhaps they don't want the election.
See what Bala said today;
"When you look at our performance in the FCT area council election, at least our own in the PDP is still better than those calling themselves coalition.”

- Gov Bala Mohammed

What Gov. Bala said has nothing to do with why they rejected the date... My question to u now is, did APC use 1 month to do their e-registration? If no since when did they start? And was "party membership e- registration" part of our electoral laws in the past?(I asked ds question cause u wl say APC started preparing early - for what? For something that wasn't existing in our electoral laws then but was seen as an advantage they can use against opposition last minute)?

What Pres. Tinubu n d ruling party is doing is unfair, if PDP had done this to em in 2013/2014 they won't smell power today - People are taking notes n we must always be fair in our dealings cause power is transient.

Did any of those who have said something on this thread read the reason behind their rejection?

I opened the thread to read why they'd reject the time table cause I thought they were been mischievous or unserious, but if we are been honest their reasons for the rejection made sense.

They either allow em use d (hardcopy, paper & pen)party register or they shift the time table for d party primaries etc.
It's unfair to use insider information to put em in disarray if u r truly popular.

#I do not support d opposition blindly neither do I criticize d ruling party blindly too.

9jatriot:
The only thing the opposition now has to contest with next year's election is insecurity... The ebi pawa they were using as slogan last year is no longer applicable as the cost of food item has been going down since... inflation rate YOY is lower, exchange rate is going down.... more project progress reports are being shown everywhere, this one is not go and verify, instead there are video evidences.

Now that the Abuja council election has humbled them because Atiku and Obi staked their reputation for their candidates, and rightly so but the results were abysmal.

So, just watch what will start happening in the coming days. Insecurity, kidnapping, massacres, ambush, killings, attacks of religious houses, and sacking of whole villlages will likely be on the increase.

That is why I still suspect that majority of the insecurity in the country is fueled by these opposition, if not as major players then as enablers or at the very least supporters of insecurity, otherwise they would have nothing to contest the next election with.

And President Tinubu's hands are tied right? Some of u need to be evaluated to check the state of ur mental health, cause is he not the commander in chief of the armed forces? Did he not swear to protect Nigerians? Do you retain or increase the salaries of ur security guards if after beating ur opponents in a match they(ur security guards) allows ur opponents into ur compound to vandalize it with less ammunition n intelligence?

What r u even typing? Always blaming everyone else but emselves. Mhew!

98% true, d sad part is none party members who refuse to vote later complain abt how they can't feel d impact of their local representatives, shey u know or vote for d said "rep."? it is 9jas' sad reality.... USA dey prepare 4 midterm n naim dey give em hint of where they are headed. I pray we get it right someday.

Afterthought: It is d reason why d ruling party is doing online reg. for their members right now(de mk em feel been a member of their party is a big deal), dt way their members feel de belong n they stand to gain something (d party also promises em goodies) if they retain power, most none party members don't get ds, if u r voting against a party in power, then we must also see things from their POI, cause u wl be voting against people who are 70% likely to vote, none party members on the other hand, have less than 50% likelihood of voting.

I love how other threads relating to a particular subject is posted underneath the new one on Nairaland, it's a nice initiative.

For how long will we continue like this as a nation?

I dont know why I have started seeing your post again.

@Seun, pls add a dialog to the block option such that anyone that wants to block someone gets a list of options to block them for a month, 3months, 6month, 1year or forever. This 3weeks thing is nauseating.

I hope you look into this, thank you!

Kemetian:
It appears Obi has ENDED any hope he had of being elected president, with these stunningly bigoted utterances exposed.

Utterances dripping with contempt for the northern half of the country.

He should just retire from politics.

It's over.

All an opponent needs to do in a Presidential campaign is play that tape repeatedly calling them beggars at rallies in the north.

And in radio/TV ads.

Obi should just retire and go back into business. It's over.

Those close to him should advise him to just chill and step out of the game.. He's done.

Rest. Abeg Rest Again. One of your laptop boy colleague sent in the video of him making the statement n I was disappointed to see that he was only making comparison. Should Nigerian Islam practice be different from those of other parts of the world? Can't we live happily together, produce and train only children we can comfortably cater for? I mean, see the madness going on in the north today in the name of banditry. Anyone angry about what he said should remain angry for life n more than anything I pray your manipulations(laptop boys) backfires n births a Nigeria we can all be proud of in the comity of nations.

magoo10:
Jonathan hasn't learnt or he just wants to patronize the tinubu government.
If it were the other way round the people in government today will use it to discredit jonathan.
characters in the league of Reno and co will have dished hatred and propaganda to deceive light minded followers.

Na u never actually under Dr. Jonathan... The Laptop boys made it look like they saved the day and will gladly dig it out shd Dr Jonathan decide to seek reelection against their principal - he is setting the records straight with this statement of his', if anything, his statement in my opinion is prove the man is personally very much interested in seeking office again.

PHIPEX:
The ISWAP terrorist was sentenced to 20yrs but a freedom fighter with no proven case of murder is jailed for life

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I read this news. While I am a lil indifferent on whatever sentence he got, why shd known killers be called repentant bk, repeatant bandits, etc and reabsolved into the army, community etc n even empowered, others get very light sentences while someone who didn't kill a single person be told he is lucky he wasn't hanged? I mean common.

Let's see what happens next sha.

Richtaiwo:
I truly do not understand it. Since when did the mere act of cramming random figures and brandishing them at every trivial opportunity become a criterion for measuring intelligence? Why does this man insist on reciting numbers that collapse under the slightest scrutiny? Even if one must memorise statistics to create the illusion of brilliance, is it too much to ask that he at least cross-check them from credible sources?

Now he claims that over 130 million Nigerians are living in poverty and, according to him, this number somehow exceeds the combined population of poor people in India and China. One has to wonder whether someone placed a special curse on this man’s calculator. India, by all global assessments, remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Let us even be charitable and assume that only 30% of its population is poor, a figure far below reality. What is 30% of an estimated 1.2 billion Indians? A very elementary calculation yields roughly 400 million. How, in any universe, can 130 be greater than 400?

And that is without even factoring in China, where it is laughable to assume that everyone is wealthy. So what exactly is he trying to accomplish with this compulsive habit of flinging obviously baseless statistics around? Truly, one can only sigh. Nawao.

Stories! Have you atleast googled the percentage of Indians living below $2.15 per day before spewing this gibberish?

Why assume 30% when you can get the exact figure to counter him? You accuse him of something and you are repeating same mistake - worst part, you are doing a "worser" job, cause available info. says he is right.

LegendHero:
Attack the terrorists not attack Nigeria.

This is a wrong headline. Mynd44 take note.

If I am President Tinubu, I will not object to this. Infact I’ll welcome him and say we will give USA the full support if they can help with surgical strike.

Then find modalities to ensure it goes as planned. This is what I mean in my past post when I told him to show workings.

Believe me or not, some of ur party people will not appreciate this line of thought cos of politics... Now 4 a second, Imagine USA steps in n starts eliminating ds guys - u think d north wl also not cry abt Tinubu bringing Christian foreigners to keeeel their people? Once that happens we both know d president wl loose more supporters in d north(some wl appreciate what he is doing, but a lot more including some of his biggest supporters wl most likely not) n we both know he'll not want to jeopardize anything that'll mess his second term ambition up even if he is under performing.

I'll suggest he follows what Trump suggests instead n let our army n other sister agencies deal RUTHLESSLY with ds evil guys. Will it stop some of the northerners from crying fowl once d military start dealing with ds guys? No, but it'll be more reasonable to use our boys than av America do it or get directly involved.

Penguin2:
If you think they have a better option, convince us otherwise.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

Let me drop this here, for those who are discerning, Pres. Tinubu is playing a game, he knows most Nigerians are not pleased with his government, he tried gaslighting us by insisting their was lil to no hardship, once he noticed it backfired he changed tactics(more recently)to telling us he feels the pain of the common man n it's only a matter of time before they start enjoying the devidends of his hard decisions. Trust me long term, there'll be lil to nothing to show.

Secondly, he is bribing (threatening, coercing etc ahead of next year) more governors to join him cause he knows most of em are sellfish n do not think beyond winning d next election, so where e go touch em na starting from January next year once the tax law sets in motion, most of these governors will join him to receive the backlash of his tax reform by the populace, it'll be too late for some of em to retrace their steps (the sentiment will most likely be vote anything APC out of our national life, he will try relaxing some of d policy either after trying em or outrightly refusing to try em) hence d third point(violence)...

Thirdly, they will use this governors n their influence in their respective states to do unthinkable things just to win the elections (Pres. Tinubu understands bribery works but most Nigerians are now more aware - esp. Southerners) - by unthinkable I mean actions including but not limited to bribery, thuggery, violence (think of Lagos 2023 governorship election abnormalities raised to power 3 on a national level same day - it's exactly why he's secretly proposing all elections to be held same day so the governors do not play a fast one on him by refusing to give their full backing).
I can go on n on but no be everything person dey type... The way out for Nigerians is make everybody weh no get PVC go register n collect am, make we all come out enmasse for d election n DEFEND our votes(No be d
spirits go do their dirty dealings, na people weh we sabi), if he wins, it shd be because he was reelected, if opposition does, it shd be because Nigerians voted for them. He will tell u otherwise, but he has no plans to build a Nigeria that works for all - it is one that works for mostly d elites(loyal to him) b4 anyone else he wants.

Shallom!

Happy Birthday Celebration Sir. May God's unction on you continue to be on the increase. 🥂

kfasian:
Will WAEC refuse to issue results to 14-year-old SS3 students?
Will NYSC deny mobilization to those who graduate before 20?

Just last Friday, a friend's daughter checked hers and realized they withheld her result with d excuse that "those below 18 cannot print their result slip". I was livid! You allowed me register 4 d exam, wrote the exam, even paid for the result before telling me I can't print what I paid for? What nonsense!

May God help us to help ourselves, cause I don't understand how it seems d nation always take one step forward n five steps backward.

This is extremely low. Time will come sha that Nigerians will remind him his utterances.

callmeDDD:
I don't trust politicians with all these cook and bull stories. The one in Kaduna, glasses shattering and wound someone, the one in Lagos glasses shattering and wound someone. Hope it is not arranged? If all these touts and political thugs want to destabilise anywhere with the backing of police or any force, they will scatter everywhere. I mean, no one will even remain in that venue. They will beat anyone blue black and destroy chairs and there will be video evidences from various sources. Even this guy won't wait to do any interviews.
We know how weak politicians think. They will create drama to get sympathy. It's an old tactics.
I am not saying it can't happen but anything can happen to win sympathy too.

This is Nigeria, politicians are full of deceit and lies.
If all these urchins come to destabilise anywhere, many people will get injured not a person and property scattered. And it won't even take them 5 mins to conclude the job.

Plausible, but did you read where it was said that policemen happily looked on while some of the attacks took place? Does opposition control police too?

Someone should advice these people (government of the day) that the seed they are sowing will definitely germinate n consume them - I hope people don't start shooting politicians in broad daylight all because some people are desperate (and they'll tell u we sabi politics ni(strategy)). Anyhow weh u won look am, these will not end well for the political class (might end up favouring d masses at d end of the day sha) so make em continue their madness.

Thundafireseun:
I know PO will not like this news…
More characters needed

Like I told one of you yesterday, pls while defending this government or any private person, do not leave your brain behind. This is not to defend PO, but I find it funny that APC depleted the reserve in question, another APC government has grown a segment of it and are expecting applause. For what? My son bashes my car, I repair it and expect the community to praise me? Common!
Let the president and his cohorts concentrate on making life better for the citizens and leave the need for constant validation. He asked for the job(no, not asked, but did all manner to get d job n doing all manner to retain same), why expect constant praise for doing little to nothing?

Is 50kg rice now 9000? Is petrol now 150/ltr? Do most average government workers' salary comfortably feed em and their immediate family? If all this becomes a yes then, why won't people hail d government? (Atleast 9ja for don dey whr e bn dey as d biggest economy in Africa b4 APC)

times ahead.

Not enough original content? Here's one.... Not a fan of d current govt at d center but I love how they are probing opposition figures(El Rufai, Tambuwal, Udom etc) and how their lackeys are defending the probe. Pick up as many as possible if they genuinely av questions to answer... I'll most likely vote for the opposition, if they happen to win, let em also return the favour - I guess we are about to witness the sanity/accountability we've been praying for in governance.
