If it's Yoruba that's doing what Buhari is doing now, our brothers from the East will call him a betrayal and many unprintable names, but a northerner and fulani is doing it? No problem, they'll call it "political smartness".

Who did this to us

So after 8 years of Buhari, he still wants to hand over to another fulani northerner ?

Just imagine a souther was doing this?

But we warned Tinubu & co !!!

If not for Tinubu's greed, he would have supported the more qualified Osinbajo for the party ticket. Peter Obi wouldn't have had this much chance if Osinbajo was representing APC.

You aren't even ashamed of yourself. Someone said Bornu (One state) is 4times bigger than the whole of your region, the entire 5 states combine.

Instead of hiding your head in shame in revelation to how inconsequential and insignificant you guys are in the peak of things. You went sourcing for fact checking articles, disputing the fact, claiming that it is only 2.5 times.

More like a teacher scored you Zero out of 60marks. But you are arguing that you actually got one question right. So he should have scored you 1 over 60 instead. Sham*less lot.

Land mass means little to nothing.
As big as Niger State is, Anambra State is richer than it.
Nigeria is over 1000 times bigger than New York City, yet the city is nearly 4 times richer than Nigeria.
Canada is over 30 times bigger than the UK but yet has a smaller economy.

Aufbauh:
These Obi people ehnnn.....very naïve and ludicrous in their inclination.

They'll be taught the bitter political lesson come 25th of February.

They've refused to accept that all politics is local. So you can't impose ur worries in Abia on Benue people.
What you think it's a national outcry in ur locality may not matters or could easily be rationalize by another locality.

The LP and their supporters lack the basic understanding of local skills politics. This is where the legacy parties will hit them hard.

Which legacy PARTIES? Will both PDP and APC win the presidential election? There will only be one winner. Even if PO loses, either Tinubu or Atiku will join him in the losers' club. It's not life and death for him and his supporters, after all neither PO nor his supporters knew his campaign would gain such traction.

naijapips04:
This clown did not condemn the IPOB that perpetrated this dastardly act.

Did the perpetrators say they are IPOB? The guy in the audio clearly said they are neither ESN nor IPOB.
Why are you looking for blame where there is none?

seunmsg:
Is there a legal backing for this? Is there any country in the world where candidates are forcefully subjected to medically test by the Medical Association before election? How exactly will this help them rule better than when medical test were not forcefully done?

Instead of subjecting candidates to medical tests, I prefer their records of previous public service, contribution to democracy, private sector achievements etc are subjected to test. These are the indices that can help us determine who is a better candidate and who is not.

So when you applied to study in the university, you were judged by your common entrance result and given admission?

If a university professor who was a faculty dean develops dementia or suffers a stroke, will he still be fit to run for the office of the vice chancellor?

Moh247:

Hypocrite! You didn't hear where Tinubu was calling him out and said importer and exporter after Sanwo Olu whispered to his ears.

Afamed:
How do you want a PhD holder to be a Vp to an ordinary PRIMARY school ochanja/ Agulu/ Upper Iweka market to market trader?

But you supported a professor of law to deputise for a 'Nepa bill' holder.
Hypocrisy is your middle name!

garfield1:
It is a strong indicator sir.it is wider than anap/noi polls and other biased mushroom polls.it analyses what millions are doing unlike what anap does by analysing few thousands

There are many of Tinubu's searches which are to confirm issues about his age, origin, heroine forfeiture scandal, health status etc. Not all the searches are based on positive views about him.
Of course other candidates have their issues and scandals but Tinubu has more.

adioolayi:
If the deal goes through....

It's a win for Tinubu and APC..

If the deal fell apart, but Wike supports Labour Party against PDP as some news are reporting..

It's still a win for Tinubu and APC, because, Atiku and PDP are still the ones to suffer losing their traditional voting base and votes from SE and SS..

Head or Tail...the G5 not working for PDP, irrespective of who they work for, as long as it is not PDP is a plus for APC.

In any case...I still see an outright winner at the first ballot, between Atiku and Tinubu...I don't think there will be any rerun as these two are strong enough to get 25% votes in 2/3 States of the federation and FCT.

God bless Nigeria

So you think APC won't lose their 'traditional' voting base with their candidate being a southerner and 2 strong northerners contesting in the same election? You think Tinubu has Buhari's Northern voters guaranteed for him? If that makes you feel good, carry on with the thoughts.

Wow!
That must be some cold!
This happens in Jos sometimes also

This CAN NEVER happen in Jos. You need a subzero temperature for this to happen, which can never be possible in Jos. The lowest temperature in Jos won't be below 8-10°C, which will be considered too low in Nigeria.

What happens in Jos and some other parts of Nigeria sometimes is hailstones.

garfield1:
They did in 1960,1979,1983,1993,1999 and 2003

What did the block votes achieve in 1999? At least I remember SW leaders did not support Obasanjo.

This woman has a very good heart. May God help Yul come back to his senses.

“Nobody has gained or lost more than 2, 3 percent. I don’t know whether that is good news or bad news but it is as if nothing has happened fundamentally, no significant shift,” he said.

People have already made up their minds.

If only Reno will see and learn. He's wasting his time.

etrouble:
I think you are the one who doesn't have a brain to think. So because of election, we should shut down the country for four months.

It's not about shutting down the country. The online engagements are very much needed to stimulate many young people who haven't voted in the past to go and vote in this election. Way more than half of registered voters never vote in any election, and a good number of them are youth.

When BB starts airing again, most of the online engagements will shift to BB. People will lose interest in talking about election. Even on election day, many will prefer to stay home and watch BB than to go and spend hours outside just to vote. It might be a couple of hundreds of thousands or even millions of young people who will do this, and that might affect the outcome of the election. This is important especially knowing that it is mostly Southerners watch BB compared to Northerners.

The same North that won't allow a Christian from their region deputise for a Muslim Southerner will now allow a Christian deputise for a Christian Southerner. This woman doesn't think well.

Parachoko:
Who's your candidate?

Let's compare your candidate achievement with that of Tinubu, a man who graduated with Honours from Chicago State University and also created the Lekki Free Trade Zone and Eko Atlantic City in Lagos State.

There are former professors who have dementia and now live in care homes. Do you pick such a man and make him a vice chancellor because he has been a Prof for 30 years?

Tinubu ceased to be a governor nearly 16 years ago. Tell me one thing he has achieved fir himself intellectually since 2007.

diadem10:
You dey mad. Now that you know balabala bolobolo are Yoruba words, you're crying? You dey mad. Also, Tinubu said Pdp stole billions on electricity but couldn't even give roasted corn payment for little electricity. Is that what your brain can't understand? Are you dumb or what?

Your middle name is DUMB.
I am not an idiot like you.
"Balablu, bulaba" can never mean the sane thing as "balabala bolobolo". Even a primary school pupil won't believe that nonsense.

Saying "down payment of roasted corn" is simply idiocy. It is neither an idiom or proverb. Roasted corn isn't the cheapest thing in the market for it to be used to symbolise small amount.

babaolofin:
Whatever you said is irrelevant and not intelligent enough for me to waste my time on you. You said Tinubu is relying on the North and South West votes to win. It means majority of the Northerners and South Westeners are fools which don't know Tinubu is making mistakes only the IBOs see the mistakes because at Warri the people know Tinubu means PVC instead of APV or APC .

If the Northerners and South Westerners are fools and not sound as claimed by you and only your tribe and your candidate is intelligent and sound go and make your president.

Which Heroin deals? Are you the US Judiciary? Obasanjo is more powerful and renown than the entire IBOs. He is the only official friend of US in Africa. When he was fighting Tinubu, he investigated the matter with intelligence agencies and Tinubu was cleared. Obasanjo is the only person that has brought American Presidents (3) to Nigeria.

You complain of mistaken identity. Are you his parents / Guardian? Late Alhaja Mogaji family is alive. Baba Kafaru Tinubu family is alive. Some of his childhood friends on the Island are alive. You can see you are not intelligent at all. If you are dwelling on health issues you shouldn't have brought the blackmailing issues out.

I never said northerners and South westerners are fools. I don't know which of my statements you extrapolated that from.

South westerners are supporting Tinubu due to tribalism. It has nothing to do with competence. I know you will say that Igbos are supporting Peter Obi due to tribalism, but that is far from the truth.

In 2003, Buhari ran with Chuba Okadigbo, and Ojukwu contested for presidency but Igbos rejected both of them and voted massively for Obasanjo.
In 2007, Buhari ran with Edwin Ume-Ezeoke and Ojukwu also contested but Igbos voted Yar'Adua.
Igbos supported GEJ in 2011 and 2015 obviously not due to tribe as he isn't Igbo. He was just a better option than Buhari.
In 2019, Igbos supported Atiku as he was better than Buhari. The failures of Buhari from 2015 to 2019 were glaring. Kingsley Moghalu contested in 2019 but no Igbo person took him seriously.
My point with all these is that Igbos don't usually vote because it's someone from their tribe. If Peter Obi wasn't a good person and was like Rochas or OUK, he wouldn't have as much support from Igbos.
You won't tell me it's because Igbos usually vote PDP because Peter Obi isn't in PDP. Infact, PDP VP candidate is Delta Igbo. Peter Obi on the other hand belongs to a party without structure.

Apart from Northerners, South Westerners and South Easterners, there are still South Southerners in Nigeria. It is not only Igbos that are not supporting Tinubu. Of course we know there are far more intellectuals in the South than the North. Only the SW intellectuals are supporting Tinubu in the South, and it's mostly due to tribalism. Most intellectuals in the SE, SS, Middle Belt and even diasporans are for PO.

Core Northerners are largely illiterates. I am not abusing them but just stating facts. Educational statistics of Nigeria give credence to that. Even Atiku boasted that over 70% of them don't have access to Internet.

Tinubu wasn't cleared of anything. He entered a plea bargain in the US and forfeited $460k to the US Government. He was thus not convicted so he doesn't have any record of conviction. Still doesn't rule out the fact that the money he had in his account were proceeds of heroine dealings. The court documents are online for everyone to see and you're talking about Obasanjo. Abegi!

Which Tinubu's family and Childhood friends? What are the names of the friends? Who are his primary and secondary school classmates? Which schools did he attend before going to the US?
Tribalism won't just allow you tell yourself the simple truth.

babaolofin:
You have only one vote. Majority of Nigerians will decide who is more competent and approved by the Heavens to rule Nigeria.

In 2018, IG of Police IGP Ibrahim Idris made mistakes repeatedly to pronounce words from a written document while delivering speech at Kano. The IBOs were so excited and bombed Socia media with various animations of the speech. In 2018, I wondered how different people could sit down and edit video recorded by NTA and Kano TV station and produce different animations. That is bitterness, hatred and frustration. The IGP suffered for Buhari. Newspapers & TV Stations (opposition media houses) also joined them.

On nairaland, I said it was a spiritual manipulation. Some IBOs argued with me to cover up the attack. Few days later, the IGP confirmed it was a spiritual manipulation.

Tinubu has made at least one gaffe in each of the rallies he has attended so far. It wasn't a one off. He is definitely not well enough. Nigeria is very sick now and needs a president that will be very sound physically and intellectually. Tinubu just isn't it.

I don't even want to go into the issues concerning his heroine dealings or his hidden identity. A 21st century president's history and life should be an open book for the citizens. You can't be striving to rule a nation yet the entirety of your life is shrouded in secrecy.

Unfortunately, many Nigerians don't care about competency. That is the reason why Tinubu is relying on Northern and SW votes to make him president. None of that has anything to do with competence.
How many intellectuals outside the SW are supporting Tinubu?

diadem10:
Most are Proverbs which useless and senseless zombidient can't comprehend of course. While the ones that are blunders are only few which Tinubu always corrected btw.

For example:

Church rats is a Proverb

Poisoned communion is a Proverb.

Dead fish can't make a soup sweet is a Proverb.

Balabala bolobolo are Yoruba words which means gibberish/rubbish. For example, if someone says you did that job balabala bolobolo. It means you did a rubbish job. Tinubu was simply saying his town hall meeting is innovative and different from balabala bolobolo, meaning his town hall meeting is different from gibberish/rubbish.

And several others which are Yoruba Proverbs.

Blunders was when he first said PD before correcting it to APC. Tinubu has only made few blunders which he always corrected btw.

After all, Peter Obi made his own blunders with his "Nassarawa is a great country". Why aren't the hypocritic senseless zombidients crying over the blunders of their GCE graduate?

Tinubu NEVER said balabala bolobolo. He said "balablu bluluu bulaba". If he wanted to say what you wrote above, then it means he has difficulty articulating words. That's called aphasia.

How do you excuse other gaffes like:
"They could not even make a down payment of a roasted corn for that electricity".
"Governor of Niger Delta State"
"Technolocaup"
"High prices are here...is gone"

Would you really be confident to have such a man represent Nigeria in the international scene? How is he really going to be able to engage leaders like POTUS, UK Prime Minister, German Chancellor, French President, Canadian PM etc?

No matter how good Tinubu was as a governor 16-24 years ago, he has had a significant intellectual decline. He is no longer fit for the job which he might have been fit for, had he contested in 2011.

lhordspy:
I knew it. I said yesterday on a thread that this man will go there.

This bigot of a man is trying to use religion to attain his unrealistic ambition.

Tinubu is a Muslim and chose a Muslim running mate after 8 years of a fanatic Muslim and you want to tell me he didn't use religion? Why didn't Tinubu choose a Northern Christian as running mate? It's simply because he wanted to appease the Muslim North which he is banking on for electoral victory. It's the worst ever religious campaign in Nigeria, even worse than MKO/Kingibe.

Peter Obi stands no chance among the core Muslim Northerners. They will never vote for him even if he chooses Sultan of Sokoto as his running mate. They will rather vote for a cow. That is the reason he has chosen to focus his campaign on his real 'constituency'.

You're simply an insecure HYPOCRITE.

dapadawee:
Wait and see.
The major players in northern politics knows that if atiku wins and serve 8 years then compulsorily power must go to the south and before another 8years which makes it 16 years the likes of ganduje, elrufai, shettim, etc will be too old to rule. Well let us see non of us knows the future but some of us just think more than others. Let's I forget the north want tinubu.
The billionaires want tinubu even the igbo billionaires want the city boy otedola, dangote etc want jagaban

You really can't sit in the comfort of your house and say that the North wants Tinubu. The Northern governors who are mostly in APC are supporting him. We can't say same for the majority of the populace who are disenchanted with APC. We can't say how much they will be able to influence the people to vote for APC considering the gross failures of the party.

Tinubu has a very high chance of winning considering that he is in the ruling party but his recent gaffes and multiple evidences of physical and mental frailty are reasons why many people even in the North will refuse to vote for him.

dapadawee:
Only the Ahmed in tinubus name is enough to win the entire northern votes. Only the obi in peters name will make him loss the entire northern votes

Let's see how many votes the Ahmed will win for him in the presence of Abubakar and Rabiu Musa.

Some of you fail to remember that Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Taraba, FCT, Southern Kaduna are all in the North.

Eniitankorede:
Where are those of Obi? I have never seen any campaign by Governorship and assembly contenders from Obi Pandora party. Only Obi is campaigning. This is a one-man show in labour party. We shall see how he will win.

When Buhari got 12 million votes from the North in 2011, how many people contested and won under CPC? Even the states that gave him the highest votes were still taken by PDP.
Nigerians cannot deal with someone clearly worse than Buhari for another 4/8 years. Balablu, bulaba is going nowhere.

Eniitankorede:
You are not clever, are you? You claim Moses had administrative role, which means Peter Obi had administrative role in PDP. Yet you claim he played no role in PDP government. Now, to help you sort out your dull brain, pick a copy of Peter Obi’s CV and read. You will see all the roles Peter Obi happily announced without hiding this time, that he played in Jonathan and other PDP regimes. Anyway I am correct, Moses never played any role in Pharoah’s government. Even though he was brought up in their family. If you have contrary evidence show me. Peter Obi is not the Moses of our time. Tinubu is the Moses of our time. He did not participate in Buhari regime, though he is close to corridor of power like Moses.

You must think everybody else is as dull as you.
Peter Obi was not a member of PDP during the reign of the party. He was the leader of APGA. Moses was a member of Pharaoh's family so he was part of the monarchy. Is that so hard to understand? Even when Queen Elizabeth was still alive, Prince William had official roles in the monarchy. That's exactly what Moses was to pharaoh.

Tinubu boasted that he made Buhari president. He was a leader of the APC alongside Buhari yet you tell me he wasn't a part of the government? You blame PDP for the errors that happened during their time but you absolve the leader of APC of blame for the gross mismanagement of the country under APC government. E be like say na Agbado fill your brain.

Tinubu can only be your Moses not mine. A man who is barely in charge of his mental faculties is who some supposedly sane Nigerians want to lead a complex and sick nation. Una no well!

Eniitankorede:
Moses did not participate in government of Pharaoh before he was used by God to take his people out of servitude. Tinubu is the true Moses of our time, not Obi and not Atiku. Because both of them were partaking in the destruction caused by PDP. Tinubu has not participated in any national government. And he excelled in Lagos as governor.


What has river Nile got to do with Nigerian problems and solutions to them?

You sure say you dey normal?
Was Moses not the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter? He lived in the Palace and even ran away as an adult. I am sure he must have had a sort of administrative position in the Palace.

How did Peter Obi participate in PDP government? He was governor under APGA and only joined PDP after his tenure.

Tinubu who brought Buhari to power wasn't part of APC government? You must be a cheap liar!

A lot...A WHOLE LOT.

In 1960, the nearest teaching hospital to my father's village was a whole 3-4 hours away, across some really bush and non-existent roads.

Today....the nearest teaching hospital is 20 minutes drive away, along tarred roads.



In 1960, my father's village did not have light.

Today...we are hooked up to the national grid.


In 1960, we did not have the highways we have now...now we do.


In 1960, we had just one university, and 4 in the pipeline...now we have over 50 of them


Nigeria is poor because we don't want to become an industrial nation....but we are better than we were in 1960.


South African blacks are majority poor, despite the whites staying...for a while.

What you consider as progress in Nigeria is actually retrogression in real sense. Most countries that got independence around 1960 even with far less population and natural resources have left Nigeria behind.

BATified2023:
he will cut them off but he will put it in his daughter account n invest it in his personal business right?

Still far better than stealing the whole money. If he invests in his personal business, the next administration after him can decide to withdraw the investment from the business. My point is that the money still belongs to the government.

Moh247:
Almost all IRS now use tax consultancy worldwide

That's not true!
Nigeria was at least colonised by the UK. All tax collection in the UK is handled by HMRC which is a government agency. There is no private consultancy organisation involved.
It is insane to support the notion that a private organisation should be collecting tax for the government and then take 10% as commission. Most serious countries don't have such a crazy set ups.

Moh247:
Is there any law stopping a private citizen from owning a tax consultancy

And they should be collecting tax for the government, in a state where there is IRS? So this seems right to you?
