The coup was inspired by Ademoyega in order to install Awolowo. He carefully removed himself for the execution plans and said he will make the announcement
After Nzeogwu did the Kaduna part of the coup d'etat, Ademoyega wasn't found anywhere for the announcement
Nzeogwu was forced to do the announcement and that's how the 'Igbo coup' myth started

There’s a guy that has a similar sized farm and also a poultry in Ogun. He has been advocating for people to go into the business. I spoke to him, as well as 2 land agent acquaintances, and they all gave similar responses. One said I could lease for a long term without issues I’m even though it had it’s own risks.

where in Ogun, is Mowe, Shagam, Owode, ifo,if, egbado....where exactly .......

MrSinister:


What if I told you I invested in watermelon farming and it ended because of Nigeria?

but I will like to hear your story I package cashew nuts in Ibadan and sell in Ogun......what happened to your watermelon business?

MrSinister:


What if I told you I invested in watermelon farming and it ended because of Nigeria?

businesses farming or otherwise fail all the time all over the world doesn't mean people still won't invest in it.....in fact most businesses don't make it past the third year and the reasons for folding up vary......

I wanted to get 10 acres of cheap land I saw in Ogun State but guess what, I was warned not to buy the land as I wasn't a uoruba boy, and was told to go to my village. I cannot afford to get the land size I want in my village as land is considerably more expensive there. Make we continue.

please where in Ogun is this cause I've been running operations in Ogun for five years now and this is the first time I'm hearing of such....

MrSinister:


You really don't have a point

my point is there is investment in the Agriculture sector......just because you and others face tech doesn't mean Agriculture is just left behind.....

MrSinister:


Bros, the largest portion of our non oil export is not Agriculture.

30.2% Are main Agriculture foods, with 36% covering fertilizer and other agro related chemicals yes can tag them under manufactured products but manufactured for what? Cause unless your building bombs all those Agro related products

crossfm:
Hehehe.

The fear of the unknown.

Just be a good leader and see your people defend you.

If injustice, election rigging, looting, and nepotism prevail,then revolution will eventually be the result.

Africa leaders should understand that times are changing fast,and it will no longer be business as usual.

The Rwanda president has been a good leader all things considered but that didn't stop them from trying to overthrow him earlier in the year wey na say na God save am......with all the nonsense happening around giving different people ginger to do nonsense you just expect him to fold his arms.....this is the second time this year he is shaking things up in the military.......to be honest do you want things going south in Rwanda of all places?

MrSinister:


It is a matter of perspective. Kindly check where investors are willing to put their money in. The answer will enlighten you further.

lol you mean investors are not bringing money into farming? Have you checked what constitutes the largest part of our non oil exports?

MrSinister:


Competitive advantage. We simply do not have what it takes to make advancement in some sectors. The infrastructural challenges alone is enough to act as a deterent. Abeg appreciate our tech space, dem dey try. They have made something out of nothing.

Rice farming is not as challenging as taking on the tech space.....na you no just reason am.....

Of course not.

You generally have to get a good class of degree from a good university to get into top tier companies - both in the USA and Nigeria.

The poster I quoted stated that Tinubu certainly must have graduated from CSU to be able to work for top tier companies. I am disputing that statement because it doesn't make sense. Have any top tier companies expressly stated that CSU graduates are the people they are looking for? Has any top tier company expressly stated that CSU grads are automatically guaranteed employment?

since you agree a degree from a top tier university will be needed to work in such places it means Tinubu must have graduated from one of such places right even if not from CSU......

Fujiyama:


^^^
First of all, you don't have to graduate from CSU to work for consulting firms or oil companies. It isn't a requirement. No relationship whatsoever.

Second, there is already a credibility problem with Badejo's video. Several other posters have already pointed out how they dismissed the video immediately they saw Donald Duke's pictures. Why then should we believe anything Badejo says?

Third, all of this online back and forth isn't really important. What's important is what the US judge rules in the case before him - and the implications of that ruling for the election tribunal and other courts at home. Atiku's legal team have made their submissions and the judge's ruling is what we are all waiting for.

Till then.

are you saying you don't need to graduate from a credible university to work with Delliote or Mobil? That you can just walk in there and get a job?

Irony1:


Do you know that the funds that was given to NNPCL for FG to use in stabilisation of the Naira. Now the issue is what business does NNPC have in stabilising the Naira? Is it not the role of the FG? Also note that when the funds finishes(the stabilisation of the naira which was what the loan would be used for was for 30 days)what happens again? Would the FG use NNPCL to borrow from Afrexim again? And since NNPCL is now a private entity having these kind of loans in their books is the fastest way to bankruptcy.
All the successful state own companies like Statoil, Petronas, Petrobras and Saudi Aramco have one thing in common government influence was whittled down to the barest minimum.

lol.....FG IS still the only shareholder in NNPC despite it been a private company, they can do whatever they want with it.....the money is technically an advance payment for the supply of oil to the countries afreximbank represents, yes it will be counted as liability initially but if we end up supplying the oil it could shift to income meaning it can be counted as income, and im very sure a good part will be paid back in oil.....and those companies you mentioned are either wholly owned by their state government or have them as majority share holders so all that one of government control been whittled down is just bubu and you know it......which Director in Aramco will tell the king he is not doing and will wake up the next day with a job or his head?

that isnt what I asked

1. since Nigeria hasnt supplied the crude oil that has been bought in the future and but has collected money for products not yet delivered, is it indebted to its customer? simple yes or no

2. who is the customer that ordered for crude oil that it doesnt need now but needs it in the future? i need just a name

okay just realized your not reading the post so I'm going to leave you to it now.....

yes it's indebted to the Afreximbank which currently represents the following african countries....Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, and Lesotho......and we are not indebted in cash but oil.....that's the beauty of a forward sale contract we don't have to pay back the cash if we don't want to.....we can just supply the oil we ordinarily would have at some point in the future 😀

Oga calm down....Afreximbank is a bank created to help trade among African countries, with the government of many African countries part of its charter including Egypt, Nigeria, Libya and co....the money from Afreximbank was weighed against Oil crude sale contracts meaning within the term of the forward sale contract (cause thats what it really is and not exactly a loan) If NNPC cannot pay back the cash we can pay in oil which countries like Egypt will take hold of.....and since we don't pay interest on it the money is technically not a loan.....think of it like you as a manufacturer having issues and you meet with your customers to give you an advance payment and mark their money against products which you will supply them at a reasonable amount which they can take hold of regardless of what their market price will be in the future when produced ( this part is crucial when it comes to forward sale contracts concerning oil cause the price always swing) if we can pay back the money that's fine, but I'm sure a key part of the contract will stipulate we pay back part of it in oil 🛢......

Point out his corruption

I will when he comes out and tells us which consultation work he did for the Nigerian senate that leads to a bill of over hundred million dollars.....

My best billionaires in this country is Mike Adenuga, Author Eze and Chairman of BUA group. Dangote is a greedy theif

lol Arthur Eze that use his political connections to do consultation work through his law firm drop bill in millions of dollars but when asked to defend his bill will start sueing the FG instead of just showing his work......Oga sit down abeg 🙄........

Penguin2:
With the way evidences keep propping up against Tinubu almost on a daily basis, it is becoming increasingly likely that the most favourable judgment Tinubu might get from the Tribunal is a rerun that he would participate in.

Ordinarily, and as it might happen, with the volume of evidence against Tinubu, ranging from forgery to perjury to double nomination to invalid nomination to fine from drug, Tinubu should be disqualified from even participating in a rerun (that’s if the court is not returning a new winner). But this is Nigeria where nothing is ever as it should be.

So, let’s assume the Tribunal orders a rerun and allows Tinubu to participate in it, what are his chances?

I can categorically say that Tinubu will lose a rerun election scandalously, and here are my reasons:

1) Uncoordinated and Brutish Subsidy Removal

One of the the harshest things that Tinubu did to Nigerians was the manner he removed fuel subsidy. It has thrown every Nigerian into pauperism and made even his most ardent supporters say “had I known”.

I know Tinubu supporters like to say he had no choice with subsidy removal because Buhari government already decided to end subsidy, but that’s a lie. First, the Buhari government made provision for payment of fuel subsidy till the end of June, Tinubu removed it on the 29th of May. Again, being the president, he had powers to even extend the subsidy payment till Christmas and make adequate provisions for palliatives towards the removal of subsidy by January of 2024. But he chose to go with impulse rather than calculated approach.

So, the effect of subsidy removal is one of the greatest things that will work against Tinubu if a rerun is ordered. How do you convince the hungry peasant to vote Tinubu again when s/he knows the hardship Tinubu has caused him or her within a short period?

Fun Fact: Did you know removal of fuel subsidy was not part of Tinubu’s speech at inauguration?

2) We Have Seen His Almighty Team

One of Tinubu’s campaign points then was that he has eyes for talent and will assemble the best brains to solve Nigeria’s problems like he did in Lagos. It was a point that appealed to a lot of people. But having been inaugurated and he chose his team, Nigerians have been left scratching their heads and asking, “are these the best brains?”

Tinubu appointed a lawyer as Aviation Minister.

Appointed two failed governors as Ministers of Defence.

Appointed Abacha’s bagman as Minister of Budget and National Planning.

Installed a thief, captured taking bribe on camera, as the chairman of his party. Just to mention a few.

What’s inspiring about this team that Tinubu will campaign with again? So, the stale line of “he will assemble the best brains” will no longer work because we have seen what he gathered.

3) No More Senators and House of Reps Candidates.

One concept that featured prominently during the electioneering campaigns was “structure”. And by structure they referred to the fact that they had candidates for every post in all the states. So, in the last election, you had Senatorial and House of Rep candidates who vigorously campaigned for APC, not because of their love or believe in Tinubu but because their own destiny was tied to the party’s success. So, a lot of these candidates who were popular in their constituencies garnered votes for APC in their regions which ultimately rubbed off on Tinubu as well. The National Assembly candidates were so helpful to the party that even those who lost, still garnered considerable votes in their name and for the party which helped add to the numbers.

Another candidate that enjoyed a similar privilege is Atiku. Because PDP with its spread fielded candidates for all elective positions in the election and the performance of these candidates helped shore up the numbers garnered by the party.

Only Peter Obi didn’t have this privilege. If anything, he was actually the reason a lot of National Assembly candidates on the Labour Party platform won their election, and not the other way round.

Now, if a rerun is ordered, the National Assembly candidates will no longer be there. The implication is that voters will approach polling units with only the names of the presidential candidates in mind. Can the voters in the core north choose Tinubu over Atiku and Kwankwaso considering other exigencies? I think not.

4) INEC Cannot Have “Technical Glitches” Twice

One of the most controversial things that happened in the last election was the shutting down of the INEC’s Electronic Result Viewing Portal (IREV) in the name of “technical glitches” which many believe was done to enable INEC manipulate the outcome of the election to favour a particular candidate.

Till date, almost 6 months after the election, INEC has not been able to explain the nature of the glitch they encountered. Not even in court were they able to demonstrate it.

But if a rerun is ordered, I refuse to even imagine the possibility of INEC telling Nigerians that they had another “technical glitches” again. If anything, if a rerun is ordered, Mahmoud Yakubu may have to give way for someone that Nigerians can trust to supervise the election. People in the level of Emir Sanusi or Bishop Kukah.

Now, if IREV works, Nigerians would be able to monitor the votes as they come in IN REAL TIME, which will eliminate or at least drastically reduce the chances of the votes being manipulated anymore. Unlike what we had in the previous election where we were seeing tipexed result sheets everywhere with figures manipulated and altered to assign numbers to candidates who didn’t score them.

5) Disgruntled APC Members

A lot of APC members that worked for Tinubu with a lot of vigour in the last election will no longer be doing that again having seen themselves sidelined after Tinubu emerged ‘victorious’.

I do not see people like Tanko Almakura, Omisore, Omo-Agege, Abdullahi Adamu, El-Rufai, Bayo Onanuga, and other numerous people who are already sheathing in pains of neglect, investing the same kind of vigour they invested in the first election. And what’s worst? Tinubu has not gained any new supporters that can replace these people in their respective states. Well, maybe except Asari Dokubo.

6) Niger Crisis
The way Tinubu has handled the Niger crisis has left a lot northerners apprehensive of Tinubu’s intentions for the north. Because if the senate had not pulled the plug on Tinubu’s request for military action in Niger, and had northern stakeholders not gotten involved in finding a diplomatic solution to the problem, coupled with the pushback of a lot of well-meaning Nigerians, Tinubu would have invaded Niger Republic and thrown the northern states that border Niger into humanitarian crisis. With this, if a rerun is ordered, a lot of northern stakeholders will be very skeptical in confidently campaigning for Tinubu again.

7) Some Former APC States Are Now In The Hands of Other Parties

During the last election, states like Kano, Zamfara and Plateau States were APC states. Tinubu won in Zamfara with the help of Mattawale’s unflinching support. He got about 300k votes (whether real or cooked) in Plateau due to Simon Lalong’s influence who was his campaign DG and sitting governor. Then he got over 700k votes in Kano due to Ganduje’s influence, whether real or cooked. But with Plateau and Zamfara now in the hands of PDP, Tinubu will obviously not do close to 20% of the numbers he did in those states in the last election. Similarly in Kano, except Kwankwaso decides to support him in a rerun, Tinubu is not likely going to do above 300k votes in Kano. And I say 300k votes because I don’t want to rule out the little influence that Ganduje still holds.

Bonus: Comment On Kwankwaso
It is necessary I mention Kwankwaso because he seems to have openly started this on-and-off relationship with Tinubu that we don’t know what it is yet. A lot of us expected him to make it into Tinubu’s cabinet but he didn’t, for whatever reason.

Now, the comment on him became necessary because in the event of a rerun, some alignments and realignments are likely to happen. And in these suspected likely alignments, Kwankwaso is the only one most likely to align with Tinubu. But can he?

Can Kwankwaso, who prides himself as the “Manduga”, the patron of the masses, look at the faces of the suffering northern masses and tell them to choose Tinubu despite the hardships he has caused them in the past few months?

Can he go against the general opinion of northern stakeholders should they decide not to support Tinubu due to so many factors including his shady existence and his activities in Niger? Can he?

Even if he decides to, how much influence can he bring? In the last election, he only won Kano. Would that be enough to help Tinubu in a rerun?

Conclusion

So, you see why Tinubu might struggle to even make third position should rerun be ordered? And as always, these are realistic points informed by empirical data and devoid of any emotion or bias. But feel free to to point out whatever you think is not as I stated it.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

lol which empirical data? They told you that the 8.7 Million of us that votes him into power no longer have our voters card or what?
