ElSudani:
If the ticket is rejected a bad precedent would be set, a new gulf of division and schism would be established between Christians and Muslims for a very long time.
It will trickle down to the state and local government levels. Your faith rather than your competence will be given undue importance in seeking office.

Let it be like that. Do you think religion is not already given undue importance. Otherwise ask yourself if you sincerely think a northern Christian politician does not exist. Why present a Muslim? Do you guys think we are foolish in this country. Already we are seeing the state giving undue advantage to one religion over another. The recent supreme court ruling of wearing of hijab is a pointer. Any Christian that vote for a Muslim Muslim ticket is a bastard. No northern Muslim would do that if the reverse was the case

DMerciful:
When campaign starts ,we're going to loud it with evidence. Shettima is a Bokoharam supporter with evidences

He is a Boko Haram supporter and I have evidence with some video evidence of what he said personally. I would have dropped links here but the thread had gone far already. Maybe we will just wait till it's campaign time.

Adevector:
the only toxic people here are the fools that still wish APC will continue ruling this country after all the damages they've caused...


What could be more toxic than that? Tell me

Forget tribe here. Anyone supporting Tinubu support the endsars massacre

A senator is not a heart beat away from the president

Use your head

You are the one that should use your head cause it appears to be in your anus. A former senator is not qualified to be a President or VP. And you can confidently say this. Which sane country do you think such occurs? Even Obama was a senator before becoming President. Smh!

Legendforte:
All southeast states, 5 out of 6 southsouth states, 3 of southwest 6(ekiti and ondo), two of NE, 3 of northcentral(benue,kogi,kwara) and NW indeterminate for now.

Can you mention the south south state that you think he would loose? Your analysis is skewed.
Obi is winning the entire South East and South south states. Most of the south west will also move to his favour same with some of the north central. The problem now is that the opposition are not sleeping. They are currently devising a rigging strategy that we might have not seen or heard of.

This is true if I'm to go with what I've witnessed

Deborah98:
Why is it that almost every politicians has something not too clear about his educational background or something relating to it. What is there to say I didn't attend high institutions and the rest. Toor na dem Sabi. There's no election whatsoever in Nigeria whether local, state or federal that somebody somewhere won't accuse someone of not attending a school as claimed or forging of certificate.

The thing many of you don't know is that most of these politicians are illiterates and this is the reason we want the younger generation to take over. Tinubu is my father's age mate. During their days it was difficult to find an educated person. By educated, I mean someone with a primary six (FSLC) certificate. But you would agree this is not the case with the younger generation. It doesn't mean they're not intelligent. Even my dad did not attend any primary or secondary school. He only read at home and wrote exams to get his certificate and he rose to a reasonable rank in the military.

Mine is bitter cola

Reference:


Education is the panacea to almost all the social ills we see today, stop personalising everything and thinking only in terms of individual gain. Proper goverments ensure the education of vast numbers of citizens because this is the bedrock of development, the kind of social stability that creates the many doors you want opened, because right now there are few doors and everyone struggles to get through.

An educated man is less susceptible to crime, manipulation of every kind and the inducements that denigrate his personality.
In this season of elections and the empowerment of leadership that determines the quality of our lives going forward, an educated man is less likely to be swayed by ethno-religious politics or vote selling because he realises the consequences.

Have enough educated people and the value of the average PVC rises making your well structured and well intended vote of more positive impact.
For no matter how well your intentions are at the polls Nigeria's destiny will unfortunately and ultimately be determined by the vast hordes of illiterate citizens who will vote with their hearts and not their minds because their minds are uncultured.

You might have to go back and read my post you quoted. Now let me rephrase what I wrote there. Tertiary education is useless and not important. I quoted you because you were encouraging her to continue. Everything you are writing here can be achieved by the basic education she has received. If she does not achieve it then there is basically no need to further. Tertiary education was actually meant to develop ones career. But in Nigeria it has become what you get before you begin your career pursuit. This is an anomaly. It is not obtainable in any serious country. That is why in Nigeria basic education is free in most states but tertiary education fee continue to rise. This is how it's going to be if we want a head way.

So in summary what you wrote here is not debatable but it can be achieved by the basic education she already has.

frozen70:


Stop discouraging people from furthering their education
Education is a legacy and is the key

Key to what? Please stop giving people false hope. In other developed climes people will achieve a lot with just a high school certificate which is what she just achieved but here you're encouraging her to continue education. If the education she just attained has not opened any door for her then no need to expect that further education will open any door

AdemolaVictorTv:
This could serve as motivation for many people

What motivation? This is nonsense. The purpose of education is not to humiliate anyone. There is an age range required for each classes and if you've exceeded it you are supposed to start considering adult education. That is the purpose of Adult education. It does not exist for fancy. GCE is also not for secondary school students, it is the exam written for adult education. An equivalent of SSCE.

ogbuefi677:
Ebonyi.

You already know d answer

I would have loved you to still say it

Because in Edo here we are OBI-dient

Pandev:
lol... supporting Obi is the real sign of naivety. Some of you only do politics on social media, you don't know what real politics is. Some of you are not known in your polling unit let alone your ward and local government. You think politics is agreeing on social media that 'this is what we're going to do'. E go shock you in your polling unit on election day, we've been in your shoes before, you'll learn politics the hard way like we did.

We know how to identify kids when we see a post.

.

Pandev:
@the bolded, you people trying hard to make Obi looks like a better choice, where are saint Buhari and saint Osunbade today? we refuse to fall for the old trick.

If you fell for Buhari and Osinbalo trick then you are naive politically. Most of us here on NL knew who Buhari was even before he contested. Even as at when he contested I told people that no matter how bad we think GEJ was, he was better than Buhari. In 2019 I voted for Buhari because he was the best among those presented, today Peter Obi is the best among those presented. If you say Peter Obi is not the best then your naievity has not been cured

I stay at Upper. I can tell you that if this had happened at Upper they would have killed the Mallam and no news or police will be there cause right now there is no police station at Upper. The ones destroyed during the End SARS has not been repaired. The aboki man for follow the dead body go the other side. The man was really lucky

Haryoife:
Their interest is just not for the students anymore
Their are just after their own pockets

I am even surprised that there are still students that still falsely believe that ASUU is fighting for students. The fight of ASUU had never at anytime been for the students rather for their purse. If you look through my last post on ASUU before this present one. I said there that government should start looking for ways to scrap the union. In fact most unions have become another political organization. Organization like ASUU, NMA etc should be scrapped immediately

MetaPhysical:


Yes Tinubu visited. He went to see Obong of Calabar, I didnt follow his itinerary but I believed he would have stopped and see Obi of Onitsha snd get blessing and endorsement.
Thats common sense.

Why are you asking? Dont start trouble please, there is enough already on the ground.

Calabar is South- South

Enwhen:



Supports Baba Tinubu in which Party ?

Oga party is irrelevant in Nigeria if you want to get support. GEJ never lost any election throughout his tenure in Edo state even though the state was for opposition. Even during the time of OBJ there was a time Tinubu supported him even though they were in different party. It keeps happening repeatedly.

I made mistake. I for contest this election. Ha! Which kind thing be this na?

TheWolfen:


Why would anyone threatened him.
It is not like he the one making all the religion post and comments on nairaland.
Nairaland disclaimer is there for everyone to read

Come when did you join NL? Do you think NL was like this during 2007. It was after he was threatened that he ajusted to most of these stupid rules. Ask yourself why Muslims are allowed to go to christian section and say all manner of rubbish without them swearing any oath. Meanwhile the same cannot be said of christians. As at when this nonsense started people requested he do same for christians, he refused. Why would he refused if he was not threatened. I'm not the first person in NL to say he was threatened. Many have said it before and he is usually quiet about that.

Dorwadora:
While we are pusuring justice for Deborah, we must also talk about the injustice on Nl Christains, Atheists, Deists, Traditionists and others who have to swear an oath before commenting on some certain threads on Friday. Pampering some group over the others, your action is just the same with the FG over muslim/fulanis matter. Kindly address this issue sir because its long overdued. No religion should be superior on your forum sir. CC: Seun

Seun is not unknown. Unlike many of you here that is difficult to track. He is well known and his address will not be hard to trace if one decides to be serious in tracking him down. What he does not want to tell the world is that he was threatened. Seriously threatened. Otherwise I see no reason why an atheist like me is scared of one barbaric and antiquated religion that should have been abandoned if humans are really the higher animal they claim.

tit:
"There is no punishment for insulting the prophet ..."

There is punishment for insulting the prophet. Nevermind what these fake Islamic scholars are trying to say. They too know the truth. They are just trying to water down the religion so people will not hate it. You can ask from any Moslem around you. There is punishment and the punishment is death.

datola:
I have not seen or read anywhere Atiku Abubaka condemned sharia.

I have said it severally here that the man himself is a fundamentalist and a nepotistic bastard. If you want to know go look at how he ran customs when he was the boss. When we voted Buhari for 2nd term, I told people here that voting Atiku will mean an extension of the tenure of fundamentalism in Nigeria.

BUSINESSMAN2:
thank you so much. This response of your is what I expect from this thread instead of insult. Pls I don't have a Quran. I want to download it from play store, which app do you think will give me the best English translation.

Oga don't listen to that rubbish that dude is saying there. I have a Koran here with me the English version. The book is really violent. I've had the book since 2004 and I've never been able to bring myself to finish it. It is really a violent book especially against christians. I can't count how many times it kept instructing them to kill christians or not to trust christians or one negative thing against christians. It was almost in every page I read. My mother was born a Muslim but has since converted to christian. She has confirmed it severally that the religion is violent. There is also a popular man I know personally, I don't want to mention his name here. The Man told me categorically that it is a sin if for example he is with those guys stoning Deborah and he refused to join. All Northerners are tacitly in support of this violence. I myself don't believe in either Jesus or Mohammed but that Moslem religion is trash

AlexBells:

That right there is inaccurate, Southerners were killed but why was it tagged Igbo coup and not Midwest coup, that's the concern, not Benin coup, Ademolega was there so if it was on the basis that MI Okpara was not killed what about the Midwest, so the appropriate name ought to be Midwest coup and not Igbo coup however be that as it may it all been a great lesson from the past

It was tagged igbo coup because of politics. Most politicians then were very intelligent. I've spoken about this issue to some of them before they passed on. The reason they called it Igbo coup is because the northerners were the one in power and there was no way constitutionally that the NCNC could grab power. The only way was to kill other party element and grab power. This might not be correct but that was how the northern element saw it. Now the Midwest was just formed so there was no way they could pull such stunt. So everyone suspected the igbos were the one behind the activities. This might not be correct but that was how they saw it. That is why it's called Igbo coup.

AlexBells:

That was not what lead to the civil war, what led to the civil war was Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and his groups trying to wade in similar situation, just because he had Chukwuma in his name and becuase Zik and maybe MI Okpara was not killed however the whole country was able to forget that Midwest was also part of Nigeria and Nzeogwu was even from Midwest,

Whoever they burn in the West or North shouldn't be an Igbo man's business so far the person is not Igbo, once we get involved they settle their scores, remember the wild wild west chaos between Awolowo and Akintola also contributed to the coup and much later civil war, we should mind our business, Christian or Muslim isn't the problem

You see that bolded part. That is a lie. Infact what you said there is true according to the version of the Igbos. I have listened to many of these Igbos misinformed youth when they speak about what led to the civil war and they never for once mentioned that Midwest was actually the region that caused the war. They kept mentioning Igbos, Igbos,igbos.... The Midwest led the coup and did not kill their premier. They also did not kill the igbos premier, another coincidence is that both premiers were from the same political party. so when there was retaliation in the whole country, even the Midwest were killed and assumed to be igbo. Anyone who tells you anything else is saying bullshit. I can't count the number of times I've said this on NL.

Nothing will be done since we have religious extremists as ministers.
Isa Pantami rode to power via religious extremism. Same as Buhari's aide Bashir Ahmed.

What are you afraid of? Even Buhari himself rode to power through religious extremism.

Dorwadora:
When he was alive, he'd always give me yam, fish or 200 naira whenever I visit . He said I look like his mother

I'm not sure you understand the underlying question. He asked "why must you say goodbye to your grandpa's friend?" Since according to you the dead is dead. It can't see or hear and does not know what is going on. What is the purpose of the goodbye. If you are able to answer this, you would have answered your initial question above

If we want to be fair and truthful, this man should be fired. Whether he drop his ambition or not. He is already a card carrying member of APC. This is unheard of.
