Gotocourt: Tambuwal did a political blunder that will make him decamp. southern PDP members won't trust him again, he brought out the beast in emperor Wike
The foolish Tambuwal is a tribal bigot. He supported Buhari for good eight years. Even with what Wike did for him in 2019 against Atiku, he still went to betrayed him at the eleven hour in 2022 primaries. Whether they like it or not, Tinubu can't be stopped cos he is not a weakling like Jonathan. I am not Tinubu fan but will have him continue than any Fulani. Any tribe who want to join them should do but they shouldn't cry of the 2031 vice presidential ticket under APC.
SeraphicWind: I am more interested in you calling him Eru Fulani. I careless where Tambuwal is from.
I left that country forever many many years back immediately some yoruba wild animals like you decided to bring in a BANZA to destroy the country. All to get your brother in power.
Shame on you people.
N.B In your previous comment, you called me South East hater?
Hater from the South East? You think I am here to banter with you?
What usually makes you people that Igbo people are your haters or that we are brothers?
Nwanne, I don't care about any Yoruba person. I don't hate neither do I love you people.
I see the average Yoruba man as another foreigner I share a geographical expression with. I don't have anything in common with a Yoruba man be it tradition, food or identity.
So why should I hate or love you people?
Then keep quiet, there are many people of your mate far better than you even in abroad since 2015. If you want to live and die there, that is your choice. Typical Igbo wailing zombie. You people have lost it politically.
ESDKING: Re arresting KANU at this stage would be more disastrous than the first one. In fact anybody thinking of that is praying for disintegration of this country faster which is a welcome development.
Of course some people will say that's how Ipob boasted before his first arrest, yes it's true because, since he was released, Nig has been panicking over what tomorrow would be because of the agitation, leaving the most important problems facing this country and decided to face unstoppable Ipob. Even Bubu is afraid/skeptical about his re-arrest that's why he's exhibiting his cowardice hiding under court approval before arresting KANU, unlike before when he arrested him like a tyrant he is without having a second thought. Or is it because United N Nations have placed their eyes on Nigeria ? Before Kanu's ist arrest, majority of us didn't know him neither we knew about his Ipob organization. So Fed govt should be very careful in their decisions. We should not also forget that Ohanezes have accused Fed govt of being biased
This time around, Nig will tear into pieces if you leave Arewa youths and re-arrest Kanu.
Try to re- arrest him and meet your waterloo.
Let me wait here and hear from people that wl say that Abiola a local champion was arrested and incarcerated and nothing happened. I only have pity for these people singing this song of "Abiola this Abiola that" because they lack knowledge of how things work in 21st century.
******All lovers of freedom should calm down and read this interview, it's very interesting*****
What you said then, why did Nigeria not tear when the monkey was re- arrested and now imprisoned.
All this dirty and ritualist disguising as a prophet. Too many of them in anambra. They are the source of most of the anambarians wealth. Kudos to Soludo, go against them cos many are still hiding somewhere. They also prepared charms for igbos to kidnap their fellow brothers and sisters, but lie against Fulani as responsible. So far so good, those kidnappers being caught are igbos. They can do any evil just to be rich. They should be killed.
surgical: Nigerians should really come together this next election to show who is the boss,this politics are really getting it wrong, they are thinking that the more concentrated in a particular party the more they are able to run things They think the power of incumbency will help them They will be utterly disappointed
Was Tambuwa not a serving speaker under pdp and decamped to Apc in 2015, were it for stomach infrastructure. He should come to reality cos he contributed to the pdp crisis. Pdp hurriedly fix an emergency meeting in kaduna state and that shows how afraid they are. A serving senator decamped and he said it's stomach infrastructure.
Odin13: While his worshippers keep abusing and insulting El Rufai.. including Reno the fool.
… their Oga the bend down lick his shoes .. all for 2027’. …. Hahahahahahaha
Arewa has sailed .. to trust a beyirebe is haram. The Yoruba people showed their card too early and has completely lost Amana..
Is not about El-Rufai now.. is about the North” .. Arewa “ …..the Yoruba people and their government . Yoruba said Tinubu is political god… and yet simple tax reform .. his Akpabio cannot pass in NA.. and he wants Arewa to trust him for a second term.. when he will have nothing to lose .. but to Fvck everyone carelessly
This people thinks Nigerians are fools.. most funniest is they think 400 tribes reasons like Yoruba .. and that we all must bow and worship their stupid Tinubu
God forbid evil
27 is here already by God’s grace ..
Is Nigerians against the Yoruba god and his tribalistic supporters
Tinubu must go!!
So because he greeted him during one of his best day. Tinubu is not you igbos that harbour generational hatred. He doesn't mean they will work together. Tinubu has already secured kaduna state. Go and read calibre of defectors political sagacity. Emeka, everything is not about hatred, bitterness and emotions. Those attributes has cause you people presidency that a major tribe like yours now cry like a kid.
Petty Igbo loser. He will still win again. I don't want to hear crying in 2031 when Tinubu zone the vice presidential candidate to south south. No matter the tagging, it will end in premium tears and frustration. A big tribe now behaving like a unit tribe due to nzogbu nzogbu ways of life.
badoh: Do you think people in Southern Kaduna will be daft not to vote for someone who has been able to restore peace to their land? Election is about mobilization and some of these lawmakers will mobilize their people to vote for Tinubu by making them see reasons.
Leave that nzogbu nzogbu political guy. They didn't see the massive defection coming. They will be used as pawn in the chess game, since they are mostly brainless.
press9jatv: Court of Appeal Judgment on Local Government in Osun and matters connected thereto. By Ibrahim Lawal
On the strength of a judgment which the PDP Government got from the Federal High Court, Osogbo, the Governor of Osun dissolved a democratically elected Local Government chairmen and councillors.
The affected chairmen and Councillors approached the Court of Appeal for redress and the Court of Appeal ruled that the judgment through which those officers were dissolved had no foundation and therefore strike out the case for not disclosing reasonable cause of action.
The logical Implication is that there is no power to dissolve any democratically elected local government officials and what was done was done malafide.
The argument by some "putative lawyers" that the court did not specifically ordered the removed officers to go back to office is purile as it is elementary law that if a court has decided that it has no jurisdiction on a matter and decline jurisdiction, the Court will not consider any other reliefs stated in the process as court does nothing in vain.
The totality of what I am saying is that the Court of Appeal by its decision had gone back to what the situation was before the Federal High Court judgment, which is the elected Chairmen and Councillors in all the local Government in Osun State and any other interpretation apart from this is nothing but an exercise in futility.
Rather than resort to threat and violence, the Osun State Governor should eat a humble pie and accommodate those officers pending when their time will lapse.
blacknp: U are not in tune with reality, let him finish what he started.
Nigerians are not going to vote out a sitting Yoruba President, to replace him with an Igbo nonentity like Gringory Obi.
The devil u know is always better, we know his type Mumu Gringory, The shadow Marxist President, after all the mouth, he will reach Aso Rock, he will say he needs at least 20 years in power to fix Nigeria.
He will spend his first term fighting the House of Assembly to amend the constitution for him to be life president so that he the messiah can save Nigeria.
leave that Igbo guy cos we all know that they are inconsequential politically. Tinubu won't waste is energy and time for them. He is going for the real deal. Just the way he abandoned Ameachi when he was so stupid and was not ready to support but Tinubu outsmart him by forming alliance with Wike and that death a huge blow to Ameachi who couldn't believe. Same thing as just happened in kaduna. Apc won straight three election without the support of igbos and they will do it again, while they cry and wait because of their stupidity.
LegendHero: Let's see how it goes. 2 years is a long time in politics.
But El-Rufai must know that Tinubu is a thoroughbred politician and not an accidental politician.
You cannot relate with Asiwaju using blackmail, he can see through the BS.
El rufai will be rendered useless before 2027. Only the peace been withness in kaduna state is even enough for people to do away with him. How come southern kaduna became so peaceful after is handing over. That is stupid son won't go back to rep again. Tinubu is the only president prepared to be in Aso rock since 1999 cos others were by default and accidental. All obj want was freedom from prison and he became president, Yaradua haven't have health challenges as governor, wanted to go back to the classroom as lecturer but obj made him president. Jonathan became president by doctrine of necessity and Buhari became president by sympathy and what he made Nigerian to believe about fighting corruption. El rufai, babachair and others will know how formidable Tinubu is very soon. He will badly divide the Northern Muslim votes and keep the most Northern Christians vote. I only pray let his policy reduced the prices of goods and services. Only God can stop him and no matter the gang up by politicians, he has a way to checkmate them. Kaduna is taken already. One north west state and important one. He will make a pact with Kwankwaso and get Kano. Kwankwaso is just like Atiku who is desperate for power and Tinubu will outsmart him. Just imagine the huge political gladiators from kaduna. El rufai can't withstand them.
greatiyk4u: You keep on releasing Boko Haram terrorists and keep Kanu tight
It's the South East Governors that are holding Kanu not even the FG, they are afraid of loosing influence once Kanu is released because Ndi igbo respect Kanu more than any of the so called political leaders.
However, Just that Kanu is not enjoying unrestricted freedom but believe me he is treated like a king in DSS custody.
If you have ever been detained by EFCC you will know how the treat you nice, begging you for money and even giving you access to your phones, some of them even run errands for you in town.......this is not the case with all these chingum yahoo boys
DSS is not treating Kanu like king rather like a terrorist and that is why he is always in chain.
Nonybb: Umahi the minister that Fulani northerners has taken as ransom against the Igbos. Nothing gives him orgasm than to serve APC or northern interest. I have never seen an individual so vested to serve other tribe to the detriment of his own. Even when Tinubu was serving Buhari, it is with a little bit of hypocrisy and cynicism until he took power. But Umahi is so pathetic and outlandish that it was to the chagrins of his people. He is the orchestrator and under his death body would Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's freedom see the light of the day
Why the accusations without fact. You other igbos said, ebonyi's are not real igbos but Northerners, why will Umahi now call for the release of kanu. You guys are too emotional joor. When the mad dog kanu was declaring to burn down Lagos, attack Tinubu and even in 2019 calling his Ipob members to attack south east governors also, did anyone from south east caution him. He will serve his punishment.
Putindbutt: No Northerner will criticize this project but in the South, they will be proving holier than the Pope.
Where is Obi, let him tell the president that there are federal roads that needed to be fix than waste this amount of money on railway. Fear will not let him to criticize it. If it were to be in Lagos now, him and his people will make it an everyday topic. Why the quietness by igbos Obidients.
seunmsg: I love how Southern Kaduna people are uniting to show El-Ruffy premium shege in 2027.
After 2027 election, El rufai will be politically irrelevant. Good eight years, he couldn't solve the crisis in southern kaduna and his successor within a year solved it. It shows he was either the artichect or promoter of the crisis.
Okpebholo1: Why didn't they defect during buhari hunger period? Those guys are well paid, it is beyond hunger. The opposition has lost a key stronghold
According to them, anybody that decamped to Apc is hunger driven but not like that when they decamped to Pdp and labour. Lawmakers with fat allowances and that clown, is saying they are hungry. How do people define hunger.
helinues: And some people want to fall for the political games by Elrufai. Hahahah
Is the igbos who are now emergency lover of El rufai they called all manners of name. Most Northern Christians will vote Tinubu than Atiku who will be his main challenger in 2027. Only the peace that has been restored in southern kaduna is a big plus to governor Uba Sani and Tinubu. Those people will be the pawn in the chess game. They should continue their nzogbu nzogbu politics.
I don't see APC wining the next election. Everyone u talk about the hardship with,would say things about Tinubu in most negative tune.
Mark this word,most northern governor are not going to decamp from their party,they are going to stay in that party to do the dirty job for the mega party and that would spell doom for the APC. That is the only way to stay relevant politically.
And for the online miscreants supporting APC,how is ur life?...many of u would need about 15 to 20 years to rearrange ur lives for the damage caused by both Tinubu and his predecessor.
You are just a noise maker who need attention. Tinubu is not Jonathan and when the time comes, you wii understand. I understand Tinubu is igbos biggest nightmare to attain presidency but he is a team player when needed. Igbos will end as pawn in the political chess game.
Mokwugwo1975: Nigerian Needs Leaders Like Peter Obi, Says Catholic Bishop
Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abakaliki, Most Rev. Dr. Peter Nworie Chukwu, has described former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as a leader who understands Nigeria’s pressing needs and is well-equipped to address them.
He said hope remained alive with individuals like Obi despite Nigeria's current challenges.
Speaking through his representative, Diocesan Health Coordinator, Rev. Fr. Chidi Obasi, at the Mater Misericordiae College of Nursing Sciences, Afikpo, Ebonyi State - where Obi donated ₦10 million for infrastructural improvement, the Bishop emphasized the importance of strong leadership in shaping Nigeria’s future.
He commended Obi for his commitment to education, healthcare and poverty alleviation, sectors critical to national development.
Mater Misericordiae Hospital, founded in 1946, is one of Nigeria’s oldest healthcare institutions, with its Schools of Nursing and Midwifery established in 1952 and 1953, respectively.
Over the years, it has trained thousands of nurses and midwives who serve in various capacities across the country and beyond. The hospital operates within the unique Catholic tradition, integrating academic excellence and moral discipline to produce well-rounded professionals.
Welcoming Obi on his maiden visit, the Hospital Administrator, Rev. Fr. Simon Isueseni, expressed gratitude for his consistent support of the health and education sectors.
He highlighted pressing infrastructural challenges, including the need for hostel completion, additional buses for student transportation, modern learning equipment, and essential medical devices such as X-ray and dialysis machines.
He described Obi’s visit as a historic moment for the institution, reaffirming his humanitarian commitment.
Addressing to the students, Obi emphasized the vital role of healthcare professionals in national development, urging them to remain dedicated to their training.
He reiterated that investing in human capital remains the surest way to build a strong and prosperous Nigeria. The school’s management acknowledged his contributions, affirming that his understanding of societal challenges makes him well-suited to provide lasting solutions.
Appreciating Ebonyi State Government for collaborating with the institution in the overall interest of the people, Obi urged students to take their studies seriously, especially in light of the projected shortage of healthcare workers.
He recalled his stance against policies that made it difficult for Nigerian nurses to travel abroad, explaining that while he supports their right to seek better opportunities, he encourages them - like their Indian counterparts - to find ways to contribute to their home country over time. He reminded them that, despite all challenges, “there is no place like home.”
Reflecting on Nigeria’s current state, Obi challenged leaders to ask themselves the critical question: what kind of country do they plan to bequeath to the younger generation?
He lamented the hardships Nigerians, including students, face today and stressed the urgent need to reclaim society from those who have misgoverned it.
Amazed by the scale of the institution - one of the largest of its kind he has seen in Nigeria - Obi stated that his ₦10 million donation was for the previous year, 2024, and assured the institution that he would return with another donation for 2025.
In his vote of thanks, Fr. Obasi expressed gratitude to Mr. Obi for his visit, especially for his commitment to officially becoming a partner to the school. He also requested that Obi convey their appreciation to the Governor of Ebonyi State whenever they meet, for the significant support he is providing to the institution.
His visit left the students inspired, reinforcing his dedication to strengthening key sectors and ensuring a better future for Nigeria.
Why will the father not say so when Obi as governor favoured Catholic against other denomination. Yeye people. If it were to be Kuka the Northern cos I like him for his straight forwardness not this Oloriburukus who are so tribalistic and religious fanatics.
EmperorCaesar: LASG is just like any other state in SW. They are at liberty to do whatever they so wish
Igbos, like Ijaws, Efiks, Hausas and others arent native to SW Nigeria, so why should only Igbos be added to the school curriculum and not the entire non-native languages?
You see your logic now? A very weak one
leave the emotional lad. When Yoruba is been taught, their children can go and play outside. Igbos always overate themselves. What did they even have in Lagos. The biggest companies are own by Yorubas. We have silent Northerners with large business interest also. They should know the difference between a trader and a manufacturer. Let them go and goggle Thomas Okoya and his Eleganza group.
EmeeNaka: Yoruba can live as they want. Nobody is telling Yoruba how to live. We are telling Lagos state government, not Yoruba, how to be inclusive in the conduct of the affairs of government.
When they did inclusiveness, you igbos abuse it. So be ready to bear the consequences. Yorubas over the years were so generous to you people unlike the north. Why did you people not for once dictate to Northerners who should be thier governor in any of their states. You people are not the only tribe in Lagos. Others behave themselves but you people are to lousy and arrogant with exemption to few ones.
Why can't you talk like a civilised human being who benefited from awolowo stale free education?
And what makes you think when it starts that you can defeat the Igbos in Lagos ?
Only a mad man would think this way
Yorubas has been defeating you igbos since a long time. You are just making noise. Ordinary treating by lagospedia last year, we all saw how you people were crying.
madridguy: Igbos condemn teaching only Yoruba language in Lagos-owned schools, threaten to sue Sanwo-Olu’s govt “They should make it open: Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba – should be taught,” said the Igbo group’s leader.
News Agency of Nigeria • February 14, 2025 Sanwo-Olu in Igbo attire and Ohanaeze leaders Sanwo-Olu in Igbo attire and Ohanaeze leaders The Igbo Women Assembly, a pressure group, has vowed to drag the Lagos government to court over its legislation for the exclusive teaching of the Yoruba language in state-owned schools.
IWA national president Nneka Chimezie disclosed this at a news briefing in Umuahia on Thursday.
IWA is affiliated with Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation.
Ms Chimezie said the group was worried over such legislation in a cosmopolitan state as Lagos.
According to her, such a law is improper because the government knows Lagos harbours many other tribes.
“They should make it open: Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba – should be taught,” she said.
The IWA president, however, hailed the Yoruba for preserving their language.
She called on the Igbo sons and daughters to join IWA in the campaign to stop the Igbo language from going into extinction.
She said the group would organise an event to celebrate the Igbo Language on February 21 to commemorate the United Nation’s Mother Tongue Day.
Ms Chimezie said the event, which would be held in Umuahia, would bring together many prominent sons and daughters of Igboland to discuss the way forward for the language.
“We are coming together to talk about our language, rub minds to see how we can stop our language from going into extinction.
“We are going to have a roundtable, after which we will come up with a communique,” the IWA president said.
She called on Governor Charles Soludo to checkmate the activities of Agunechemba – a vigilance group and stop the extra-judicial killings in Anambra.
“When they make arrests, they should hand the suspects over to the police for proper investigation and prosecution rather than killing them.
“Agunechemba has no right to arrest and kill, and there have been too much blood-letting and killing of our youths in the South-East,” Ms Chimezie said.
Na crase they worry them. Who hold them not to teach Igbo language in igboland. Yoruba has been resetting their brain, since after election cos they have taken things to be granted and igbos wanted to take advantage. If igbos are not comfortable with it, they can take their children to the east for education. They will learn in the hard way, according to Verydarkman.
EmperorCaesar: And you think a successful businessman like Dangote wouldnt have consulted expert, make right researches and prolly gather the needed knowledge before even considering this? A big joke
You dey advice person wey sabi business pass anybody for your region
Your last line screams pain.
He's not the only businessman in Nigeria with FG connections, how come the rest arent anything close to him?
Maduka, stop hating
I wonder oh, ask him how the likes of emeka offor with no oil in his state had oil well in south south. Late Ubah was importing half of daily consumption of PMS in the country, under Jonathan through his capital oil. Most wealthy Nigerians has their success to government, either federal or state. Why dangote is different because he was able to invest massively in the country unlike many others. Emeka offor had licence to build refinery like some others over the years but they decided to be importing PMS and others because of subsidy, which they collide with government office to defraud the country.
MadPolitician: He's not going to dominate anything. This is not cement. Folks have alternatives. Cheaper alternatives too. He will command a significant segment of the market, and that is it. Nothing else.
Some businesses demand a better understanding of the intricacies before you can "dominate". And that is where his competitors may have some advantages over him.
He might use his high wired connections to get government contracts tho... As usual
See wailing, why the attack. Sino truck is everywhere in the country. It is now the most patronize truck assembled in Nigeria. Peugout used to be the favorite brand but Toyota and Benz has come to stay so it will be difficult to dislodge them. Do it is Northerners favourite too. Anyway, God bless Dangote for his impact to the country economy. Biggest tax payer and largest employer of labour outside government. If you hate him, you will die of hypertension for no reason.
Ojuntana: All these meaningless meetings will just be showing up once there's political rumble from the north
The meeting is never about any development of the region but political conversations for the benefit of politicians
For example, South West govs have been meeting since 2019 that I know of
What tangible result have their meetings brought for the common Yoruba man in SW except emilokan now transfigured to ebilokan
They have achieved alot, Ametokun is a great initiative. Be consign about your region. Yorubas are far ahead. They unite across all party to achieve a common goal. Your region has been suffering from high level of insecurity perpetuated by indigenes and most of the governors are so clueless.
Editorialtimes: Babachir Lawal Vows to Work with El-Rufai to Stop Tinubu’s Re-election in 2027
Abuja, Nigeria - Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has declared his intention to collaborate with former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai to prevent President Bola Tinubu from winning the 2027 presidential election according to the information obtained by The Bureau Newspaper on Wednesday. Lawal, once an ally of Tinubu, has become a vocal critic of the president, blaming his economic reforms for exacerbating poverty and hardship in Northern Nigeria.
In an interview with Punch, Lawal described Tinubu’s policies as “nail-biting reforms” that have left the Northern region feeling betrayed and economically distressed. He emphasized the urgent need for political change, stating that the North is mobilizing to ensure Tinubu does not secure a second term.
Lawal’s stance aligns with El-Rufai’s recent warnings about a potential political upheaval in 2027, similar to the challenges faced by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. El-Rufai had shared insights on his verified X account (formerly Twitter) from APC member Uche Diala, highlighting a significant decline in Tinubu’s relationship with the North over the past two years.
He acknowledged the divide among political elites over the candidate’s origin, with some advocating for a Southern candidate while others express concerns about the risks involved.
Lawal concluded by highlighting the disconnect between elite opinions and the sentiments of the masses, asserting that even those who appear to support Tinubu will not vote for him due to the hardships they endure. He urged Northern political leaders to heed the call for change and ensure that Tinubu does not secure a second term.
This development signals growing discontent within the Northern political establishment and sets the stage for a contentious battle ahead of the 2027 elections.
President Tinubu will retire alot of northerners after reelection. This one that was disgrace as SGF under Buhari for using a lot of money to cut grasses. He lobbied to be vice presidential candidate to Tinubu and he was not favoured.
See as una dey use propaganda and outright falsehoods to fight El Rufai. Now it's not Peter Obi again abi?
Anyway...El Rufai's son has an Account on Nairaland and I know he will see these falsehoods peddled by Yoruba people...and even sue.
Slaves are fighting their Masters...
IGBOs are BLESSED..
Run up to 2027 election, igbos are inconsequential. Apc won three straight elections without igbos support and so they are not disturbed by you people. Tinubu knows were to reach out with alot of political move to get reelected. I don't want to hear any cry from south east, when Apc zone the vice presidential candidate in 2031 to south south. Keep playing nzogbu nzogbu politics. The north you people are romancing don't even trust you guys, if not since it the turn of south why don't they support Obi to complete the tenure of south but prefer to decieved him and you lot of handing over power after Atiku's one term. I laugh in swalili.
