Whether we accept it or not, tribal and religious sentiments will always be a major influence in election choices amongst Nigerians.

A large chunk of OBI supporters support him because of his tribe. Similarly, a disproportionately massive chunk of those not supporting OBI actually reject him purely because of his tribe. If OBI wasn't an Igbo man, his support base would have trippled.

On the other divide, a large chunk of Tinubu supporters in the SW only support him because of his tribe - they dont necessary like him. If OBI was a Yoruba man, Tinubu wouldnt have smelt any votes even in the SW.

Lastly, Tinubu supporters in the north support him for 2 reasons - first being that they dont like the tribe of his most visible rival (OBI), and secondly because of religion.

Sentimental opinion,now tell me if Tinubu is South East man and Obi is South West man who would Igbo voted...last presidential election should be used to judge which region is tribal not all these watery analysis

AMINDA:
The Southeast voted Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003. They also voted Yar'adua and Jonathan after that. Tinubu ran on Emi Lokan and has gone ahead to demonstrate it by cornering everything for himself and cronies, all while shouting "turn of the South." Tinubu didn't support Obasanjo all through his tenure for his own selfish interest but now expects Seyi Makinde to support him despite betraying him after supporting him in 2023. He has also seized local government funds in Osun, throwing millions into poverty, all in a bid to sabotage Adeleke.

Stop comparing what's not,Obasanjo and Falae contested right,so what's your point?

Going by last presidential election tell me which region is tribal by voting period....

AMINDA:
Exactly. Atiku also won Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. This shows you that there's no tribal correlation in both of their victories. It was simply a referendum on what the populace felt about their choices. Tinubu was the only major presidential candidate that lost both his state of residence, Lagos and state of origin, Osun. His people clearly knew him better than the rest of Nigerians.

Lagos and Osun showed how South West people reason politically,now show me South East presidential results and tell me which region is more tribalism in nature.

Comments from other fans ain't encouraging

I want Hull city to make it to the play off over them tho

Cuz of Semi Ajayi,at least a season or two would be massive for him in EPL

lbrichman2:
Coventry should take it easy na
I had hoped Wrexham would win this game as they need to solidify their playoff position
They are still safe for at least a week, I believe..

Maybe this loss will force the coach to reinstate Okonkwo to the first team

Reinstate Okonkwo?did you watched the match to evaluate the keeper.

lbrichman2:
You think say he go play for Inter?
I don't even think he's done enough to secure a move to any serie A team

Playing for Inter is not issue but saying he is going down with Pisa,so I needed to remind you that he is not Pisa player.

Na Ibadan people una dey take serious even if na chicken dey fight na crowd for Ibadan

lbrichman2:
I already mentioned Akinsanmiro before
But after Nwakali played for Barnsley that day, I thought he would be a good addition, and he comes with cheap logistics since he's already in England
My position is for us to deepen our midfield pool with real creators..
Unfortunately Nwakali is almost 28 and still playing in league one
So the odds are against him
Akinsanmiro did well today even though they lost
His ratings were good
Unfortunately he too would be in serie B next season
Meaning our best prospects for midfield creators would be outside the top leagues
Or how you see am?

Baba you don forget that Akinsanmiro na Inter Milan player

lbrichman2:
Get this guy to the Unity cup and allow him play!
Might just be the perfect Iwobi replacement we've been looking for.

Ibrich and Unity Cup,you quickly dropped Nwakali and replaced him with Akinsanmiro ASAP...Nwakali was the only back up for Iwobi now Akinsanmiro perfect replacement...I will sue you soon

South must complete the eight years rule,so North is out but big question will North trust any southerner apart from Tinubu with just four years to rule,meaning Tinubu still has the advantage... North will rather prefer him to complete his four years then power back to the North....well everything left for opposition to up their games

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. No vex. I did not see the game. Na the updates I follow as I was returning from work. But why no one else report am? Anyway, pardon me. Na oversight abeg. I did not check who assisted Elliot Anderson.

And, abeg no sue me ooo. Iwobi gave the highest pre-assists at the last Afcon (up to 7 I think) aside his assists, so u go sue me for this bit of info? Egbon, calm down jare



Taiwo Awoniyi this EPL season despite coming back from gruesome Health/Injury Issues:

2 goals, 1 assist in 13 games (1 start). Been solid as a backup.

No wahala Doctor,your update is important here,very valid and always accurate.Thanks.

TheSuperNerd:
Ola Aina and Forest doing the Lord's work vs Sunderland. Smashing them 4-0 already and it is not even halftime yet.

Forest will definitely stay up. They wont go down.

Doctor,my boy entered 89 minutes and gave assist and you know carry the news...any of your reports on pre assists I will sue you o😀

....ADC and Obi needs to do more than all these paparazzi cuz APC are doing real grassroots politics

TheSuperNerd:
The narrator already mentioned the core reason Olise eventually settled for France. He was already integrated and felt more at home with the French Structure. Simple!
Talks of Organisation is there yes, and Amaju's NFF really blew it then but at least now, we can point to the recently put-together NSC's Diaspora talents discovery committee headed by Tunde Adelakun tasked with not only identifying but establishing relationships with our diaspora athletes across all sports and not just football.

For instance, See our Women's basketball team and their latest invites from the American system. A Dtigress legend heads Basketball's drive on the committee.

In football, this committee is already at work and is the reason the likes of Kayode will be met during the Unity Cup period as Chelle will be in London where Kayode's Club, Brentford is based. Osula too is in England and a meeting will happen. Femi Azeez is already being discussed.
Seyi Olofinjana is well schooled, well cultured and heads the football talents drive alongside others on the committee. Adelakun himself is a football person.

So I want to believe that going forward, as messed up as the country is politically, we will get it right in this aspect at least.

Seyi Olofinjana's son Femi is a Norwegian youth international and the same Seyi is in the committee.

The former Espérance player, Michael Eneramo, has passed away suddenly from a heart attack. May God have mercy on him and grant strength to his family. 😔😔😔😔😔

RIP Michael Eneramo, remember his goal against Ireland....born and die in Kaduna.

lbrichman2:
He deserves a chance
We're not even saying he should play
Make them just check the boy out

Deserve a chance?by merit or what .....My prayer for Nwakali is not even eagles but any Turkish Liga team next season.

Racoon:
The president - Edun back and forth revenue generation controversy is the foundational basis of his ouster. Forget any other reason including the health issue.

Wale Edun was consumed by the irresponsible government he subserved. Govt that is built on foundation of lies, deceits, overt falsehood and propaganda.

Oya point it out anything you said positively about this government?NO, always ranting,now Wale Edun is your man.

Government came out and said he resigned on health ground and if you don't know appointment of Oyedele was to assist Edun due to his health but he can't cope he resigned and Oyedele took over.

This government and previous ones have failed us and keep on failing us,no doubt about it but you always sensationalize things instead of facing realities.... premium news bla bla are all sensation news makers

TheSuperNerd:
Flashback to when Okocha pulled this off in the EPL...

https://x.com/i/status/2047416973156352245

This kind talent at his peak played for Feberbache and Bolton

lbrichman2:
Lol
I like the guy
He's in England
Unity Cup will hold in England

He's a midfield creator..
We need midfield creators

He can play make from deep, just like Iwobi

If I were Chelle, I would reach out to him
Just to have a look at him

After all, that's exactly how Benjamin was called and the boy grabbed the opportunity with both hands ..

Still, Chelle has the final say

Suddenly you remembered Nwakali after 22 minutes this season.

Hmm,you used Benjamin Frederick as an example for old Nwakali to buttress your point, playing India and to avenge our 99-1😁yes Nwakali

I thought Nwakali was better than Iwobi before in that position but now he is the best after Iwobi...Ibrich baba.

And funny, Chelle should reach out to him for the solution abi

Abegi which one be Lambe and Ekpo again

$12k for what?Emirate first class ticket

Kai you wicked o... squirrel wey plenty for my abode here in GRA Ilorin,fun to watch at the backyard, climbingy mango tree,Oga you wicked

Papi85:
Any of the clubs won’t be bad but Rangers have been lucky with Nigerian players of recent so heading to Glasgow will be preferable

Aside Rangers I would pick Genoa for him

Abeg make he go Rangers,even at later career of Leon Balogun he made it with Rangers

AndSunGorilla:
Just in time for Unity Cup.

Unity Cup?

opes:
I prefer he stays in England, or a decent club in France instead of going to Rangers.

Blackburn won last night, they escaped relegation

Rangers gave Calvin Bassey the opportunity,now we have Emma Fernandez so a very good idea if Alebiosun Ryan join Rangers

lbrichman2:
Thank you my brother
I really pray he gets a call up
That's the perfect Iwobi back up

As a coach will you call a player with 22 minutes in a whole season.....well Chelle can give him the wildcard invitation just like Eguavoen did for him

bolaayenimo:
Their usual lies when someone is forced out. When you finish deceiving yourself, wake me up

Everything na lie lie to you😁

Confirmed:

The four teams with confirmed promotion to the NPFL next season are as follows:

1. Sporting Lagos
2. Inter Lagos
3. Doma United
4. Ranchers Bees

Want to know what the common denominator is amongst these clubs?

All four clubs are probably privately owned.

We are gradually getting to the point where the NPFL will be a league of largely privately run clubs.

Ranchers Bees reportedly belongs to Super Eagle's player Sadiq Umar.

Ranchers Bees is jointly own by Bello El Rufai and Sadiq Umar

Oh my God,I supported Ranchers Bees as a boy, followed them fanatically,coached then by Argentina coach Dominiques in the 80s,the team produced free kick specialist Ayo Ogunlana,the man who scored 12 goals in a season through free kick...this team gave us young Daniel Amokachie.Ranchers bees a finalist of CAF winners cup 1988...good to have Ranchers Bees of Kaduna back
