Birdbyrde440: I was waiting to see Tinubu sitting down on his regular chair inside mosque while prayers are ongoing.
Can you believe that Tinubu cannot pray
sorosoke101: WOW! Tinubu did not sit down on a chair while in the mosque. So all this sitting down as been a scam in order to be talked about. Tinubu is a scammer
Are u guys blind? The chair is clearly behind him.
LesbianBoy: Nigerians are easily deceived sha. Or should I say many of them don't know history.
This was what ngige tried to do in 2003 after stealing peter obi mandate and trust mumu Nigerians then, they tried to go against peter obi who they voted for and were like "let's just leave him since he is trying". But Peter obi went to court for 3 years until he recovered the mandate back and did better than whatever ngige was doing AND ENDED GODFATHERISM IN THE STATE.
Same thing is happening here. I expected all these moves from tinubu but many of us are still not deceived. We want REAL change. Where the President will listen to the people. Where governance and power will be unattractive to looters like femi fani Kayode and co. Where rascality will be reduced seriously etc.
What was the economic sense and benefit in this statement by ur obi? Aligning wt cabals, sacrificing peoples pain in order to win election. As in, the SOLE AIM of this statement was to reduce his opponents' chance and win an election. God is truly not asleep!
Following the news of the removal of Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ben Murray-Bruce the ex-Senator (PDP, Bayelsa) and Chairman of Silverbird Entertainment has tweeted this on his official twitter page:
President Bola Tinubu is making the right calls. He turned Lagos into the 6th largest economy in Africa, and now he is in charge of the largest economy in Africa. Watch out!
Above is OHANEZE Ndiigbo issuing public communique against the indigenization policy by Abia Government.
Infact PDP and T.A Orji was so maligned for thinking out that policy by Ndi Abia, that one of the campaign promises of Otti that made the people of the state to embrace him was that he promised to reinstate any worked that PDP evil indigenization affected, and that he will ensure equal opportunity in basis of employment for all residents of Abia State despite their Indigene or non Indigenous status. https://hallmarknews.com/abia-2023-otti-promises-to-reverse-policy-of-sacking-non-indigenes-in-state-service/
Even T.A Orji couldn't withstand the public outcry from Ndi Abia and the rest of Ndiigbo over that issue, so he started trying to reverse the policy, but people had already lost trust in him by then.
Bottom line is that Ndiigbo as a people will never support any discrimination hatched by people in power of public places. We might not be able to control their actions, but we will always condemn them.
We condemned the one in Abia so much that it was a campaign plus point that Otti used to win the people trust. That's who we are. We never support or justify evil like some other groups do and call it "politics of sufferstication".
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."
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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'.
