Why are your kinsmen crying over the law then?

Good question.

By 2027, it will become APDLP.

The House of Reps member, Solomon Bob (PDP, Rivers) was interviewed on Channels TV after the Presidents meeting with the House of Assembly yesterday and had this to say:

Interviewer: You were at the villa today, you met with the President, so how did that go?

"Well I think it's an opportune time for me to say my erm, talk about what went down today, You know I'm not in the business of praise singing or you know eye service, but today I watched a president who showed confidence. You know I was really inspired by his speech. It was perhaps the most inspiring speech ive seen by a Nigerian president since I came of age watching politics you know.

He covered all the matters, I mean the entire field. He spoke about Unity, he spoke about politics being over and now to focus on
governance. The speech was exemplary he had no paper in his hand, no prompter nothing. It was quite inspiring the performance by
the president, I was really inspired.
Later the president had to leave but everybody who was there you know, had a positive take about what happened. He spoke with authority and a lot of confidence."

'Something must have happened along the way'

They killed all the leaders of the country in January 1966 and there was a civil war is 'what happened along the way'.

After the new igbo leader came in he didn't arrest any coup plotter nor listen to other peoples cry for justice.

Igboid:
Stoopid post.
In all those instances, they were roundly condemned publicly by Igbo masses.
The one of Abia was so criticized that T.A Orji panicked and reversed it ASAP.
He foo.lishly thought that Ndi Abia would support him, but he got a serious backlash.

The one of Enugu happened under military era. Some greedy Enugu civil servants instigated it and because it was military era,there was not much the people could do.

There is a thread here on NL that Igbos made to condemn the market Union chairman stuff.

Selfish people ( Political leaders and trade association leaders) will always try to play We vs they politics to divide the people and gain personally, but what matters is what the General public think about such moves.
Did they support it or did they condemn it?

In all such cases in Igboland, Igbo public condemned it, just as we are condemning the one Lagos is proposing.

Lying will not take you anywhere in life. The same thing still goes on in ur states. Why on earth was bianca chased out from contesting in Anambra?

Same people that chased even other igbos from their states and didnt allow them partake in any political election or market leadership election are calling others bigots.

They didnt even pass any law. It was automatic declarations from their governors, now sermonizing over the rights for Lagos indigenes.

.

And this is what happens in abia state. According to this dude, its common practice in the region.

.

According to the news reports this happened in the past in Anambra state.

At the event in Kaduna where the immediate former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, told some Muslim clerics why he chose to run a Muslim-dominated government in Kaduna State, the former governor also spoke about President Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

PREMIUM TIMES earlier published the transcript of what Mr El-Rufai said about his decision to promote a Muslim-Muslim governorship ticket in Kaduna. We became aware of the second part of the video after the first part had been published.

Mr El-Rufai made the commenta in Hausa. Below is the English translation.

“Now, a lot has been said about the federal government. It’s true what Professor Akintola said, we the APC governors and we decided that the South should produce the next president because that was the promise that was made. It was a verbal agreement but God knows whether an agreement was written or verbal. When we discovered that some people were scheming that a northerner must be the next president, we said no. This is not what we are. We are Muslims, we’re northerners, we’ve traditions and we can’t back down on our pledges. We said no. That was the first step.

“The next step, when they agreed with that or when they noticed that they could do nothing, they backed down. We sat down to decide on who would be able to win the seat because he has what it takes to win an election and secondly we can bring an end to politics of religion and ethnicity in this country. We decided on Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu). When we took the decision to support Asiwaju, I was not on good terms with him, we were fighting. But Professor Akintola came with their leaders from Lagos and commended us for deciding that a Southerner should emerge. They said the Yoruba in the South-west have problems. When a Muslim wants to contest an election they’ll say he shouldn’t contest because he will not win an election. What they believed was that it’s only a Christian from the South-west who can contest so a Muslim from the North is selected as his vice. They said it has not happened since Abiola; they wanted to replicate that. We asked them to go and decide on who would contest and they said Asiwaju. I told them I’m not on good terms with him but he (Akintola) said we should reconcile for the sake of Islam and I said we will reconcile.

“Asiwaju got the ticket and when he got it we knew he would have no option but to pick a Muslim as his vice; if not, he would lose the election. Just as I said, politics is all about calculation, there is no room for manoeuvre. God knows our intention. And I swear to God we stood our ground to actualise that, we didn’t do it for our gain. Myself and Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, didn’t do it for any gain. Maybe the others needed something but me and Matawalle I did that to bring an end to the religious issue and to give Muslims from the South-west a sense of belonging to rule. And God… despite the religious gang-up, God made Asiwaju the winner.

“What we are able to achieve in Kaduna, we’ve now achieved it on the national level. There is no liar that can say he will do politics of Christianity and win the election. Peter Obi tried it but this is where he is now. We’ve brought an end to that. They’ve kept quiet. Ever since Asiwaju emerged, CAN has remained mute. This is how to ensure peace and stability in this country. If we do it again and again everything will be normal. To God, that was what we did. And some of us believe we’ve finished our work. Asiwaju has won and we’ve done our part. Our call is for you to pray for him to get the right people to work with.”

Zihno:
MIT is not an Ivy League university.

He turned down a Harvard scolarship and chose MIT. They are on the same level. In most circles MIT is seen as more credible since legacy babies cant buy their way in.

His twins also graduated in 2021. MC don use agbero work secure his future.

This was the same boy that got the best High school GPA in his state and won so many scolarships that year.

Even met the state governor with his parents. Time flies so fast.

Hezzyluv:
Rest for three days work for three days.

Enough time to put hoes to use.

Its a good thing. I thought it was a great idea implemented by the Kwara state govt. They should work in shifts. All these govt workers need to do other jobs in the remaining 2 days. State governemnts cant afford living wages until they improve revenue.

I suggest the state govt give them free land for particular agriculture produce. Let them go to their farm the other 3 days, by the end of the year, the state can be exporting something to increase IGR. All these unproductive civil servant states should do the same. Ecspecially Osun state.

FOOTSOLDIER1:
Structure of criminality. Obi is coming to dismantle them

Didnt LP Alex Otti just appoint 21 special assistants last week.

21! For a governor. Obi should destroy the criminality of his party member first.

juman:
The information may not be correct.

1. She was first elected as senator for Lagos Central in 2011 not 2015.
2. "Tinubu’s wife was born to an Itsekiri mother and a Yoruba
father".

I doubt the bolded.
We know her as Itsekiri woman.

na wa o. how many times are they going to tell u remi tinubu is from ogun state. why are u adamant dt shes not?

LagosFirstSon:
I hope she's also preparing for the mother of all strike that will start on Wednesday

looks like dt has been cancelled. pele.

richie240:
Bros, it was not any negotiation o, didn't u hear the court forbade them from striking?

They already had their minds set on the Wednesday strike if not for the court order.

Those guys are not patriotic one bit. Not surprised though, since they'be formed alliance with LP, so it's not unexpected.

There was negotiation that ended late last night. The president appointed some officials to continue negotiating with them. This was Festus keyamos tweet after they signed the agreement.

lol

The APC Lawyer has made it known on his twitter page that he and other officials, drafted by the President, have concluded an agreement with leaders of the NLC and TUC to avert the nationwide strike set to commence on Wednesday, 6th of June 2023. He posted this on his twitter page:

'Earlier today, I was drafted to assist in the negotiations with my brothers and comrades in the NLC and TUC and to the glory of God, we reached some agreements which have resulted in the suspension of the proposed strike action. We have just ended the meeting at exactly 10:40pm. Here’s a copy of the agreement and some light-hearted moment after signing the agreement'.

Health workers’ union under the umbrella of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has suspended its 12-day-old strike after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Monday.

JOHESU National Vice President, Obinna Ogbonna, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday evening.

Mr Ogbonna said the strike had been suspended due to the progress made during the engagement with the president.

He said the health workers “called a meeting shortly after meeting with the president and decided to call off the strike and gave a 21-day timeline to the government.”

“We met with Mr President at the villa earlier today, and he pleaded with the striking health workers to give him the benefit of the doubt that he will resolve the matters amicably to our own benefit and positive results,” Mr Ogbonna told PREMIUM TIMES’ reporter in a telephone interview.

“The congress considered his plea and also said we should give a 21-day timeline to assess progress and commitment of state actors in resolving the issues,” he added.

PREMIUM TIMES earlier on Monday reported how Mr Tinubu urged JOHESU to call off the strike and allow its members to return to work.

Health workers strike
The health workers’ union commenced an indefinite strike on Thursday, 25 May, following the alleged failure of the Nigerian government to meet its demand.
The health workers are demanding the immediate approval and implementation of the technical committee report on CONHESS adjustment by the government.

They also demand immediate payment of the omission and shortfall in the COVID-19 hazard/inducement allowances of affected health workers in federal health institutions.
Other demands are “the immediate and unconditional implementation of the pharmacist consultant cadre, unconditional payment of all withheld salaries of Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Jos University Teaching Hospital, and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, and outstanding April and May 2018 salaries of members at FMC, Azare.”

The union also called for the speedy implementation of the increase in the retirement age from 60 to 65 years and 70 years for consultants in the health professions.

The new National Counter Terrorism building and office of the National Security Adviser are below. They are both in the same complex.
Sai Baba buhari!

Shows he's finally accepted the truth that was almost choking him. Just imagining the tantrum Obidients would throw if PBAT portrait is positioned above their Messiah's head

They and their messiah see it in court everyday, so no difference.

ABEG WHO HELP ME SEE IGP NYASH.. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Stop it.
Seriously i wonder how his kids feel reading these type of comments.

ada9ja:
She represented COS and later stood up when the COS arrived

Is that not gbajabiamilla greeting tinubu outside as tinubu arrived from the car and then they all went in? Which later did he arrive? What a fictitious story teller you are.

simplesearch:
If Remi as a former senator is capable of any position that could warrant her presence there, I see nothing wrong there, her presence in such meetings should be the least of our problem. Tinubu can give her a ministerial appointment or anything worthwhile, that's at Tinubu's prerogative. My concern however is that how exactly did they confirm the poster as obedient? Or it's just another unfounded propaganda attempt!

@MissPearls on twitter is one of the very popular obidients with plenty followers like chude, fs yusuf, morris monye and co. She gets retweeted by charlie boy and obidients all the time when theyre churning out propaganda. You can see her twitter page bio here as at this afternoon, June 4th. It says shes a member of the obidatti campaign council:

Birdbyrde440:
So unpresidential.
This man will be taken for a ride and played around with very soon.

You see the men in this room, once you slack they will take advantage.

You are supposed to walk in and go straight to business, no time for formalities.

It is not unpresidential. It is quite charismatic. Bill Clinton was known to have the same attributes and able to develop good working relationships easily. He was regarded as the ultimate politician.
