Lol. So you believe Tinubu is really 70 old ? Someone that his age and certificate are controversial ?

Tinubu is in his 80s.

Continue to delude yourself. So its Wikipedia Spanish version that you are editing now....lol

stanluiz:
Oga the man is sick and old. Let him go and rest. He has everything in the world. Money, Influence, popularity etc. He should rest. If he is not president, he won't remove anything from him.

What makes you think that you are more healthy than him? A man who is 70 is old, but another who is 61 is very young.

Abeg follow your candidate in peace and let other follow theirs.

Your sources are suspect. They are the same that propagated the propaganda in Bucha, the Mariupol Drama Theater and the Ghost of Kiev.

Thanks but no thanks.

Jaisman26:
Lies from the pit of hell. From chenchya 1999, Georgia in 2008, crimea in 2014 and now Ukraine 2022........check your Russia evasion history it's all about expansion of Russia territories of old USSR and fear of domination by NATO.

Ignorance is a disease.

Chechnya is a part of Russia. The tried to secede under the influence of foreign islamist radicals and Russia had to fight the war to keep Chechnya from breaking away. Today Chechnya is a successful and peaceful republic within Russia and Chechens stand shoulder to shoulder with their fellow Russian brothers battling Nazis in Ukraine.

Georgia was never about territorial expansion. Rather, Georgia at the behest of their masters in Washington attacked Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and invaded those territories. Russia responded by pushing the Georgians out of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and declaring those territories as independent states. No Georgian land is currently occupied by Russia.

Crimea is an integral and ancestral part of Russia. When Ukraine decided to overthrow its legitimate government in the 2014 coup and became a US backed threat, Russia took back its historical possession in order to protect its fleet at Sevastopol and the ethnic Russians living there.

I don't need to lecture you on Ukraine, as it is probably bigger than your understanding.

Kaiser20:
Now that Russia P. has proven that he's a super power let peace reign.
They should end the war make everybody day him lane

Peace will not reign until USA and by extension its puppet Ukraine agrees to negotiate.

Remember that the ultimate aim of this conflict is to "weaken" Russia using Ukraine. So the US will continue fanning the flames of war.

jmoore:
The deal won't make a significant difference. Russia is still bombing Ukraine farmlands.

Russia is not bombing Ukrainian farmlands. Stop spreading fake news!

I am happy with this deal. At least the cost of flour will reduce and this will also lead to a reduction in the price of bread.

Beremx:
This doesn’t prove anything. He’s sick and he should withdraw from the presidential race

Because you have access to his medical files or because you diagnosed him as sick? There is no need to denigrate him, just campaign for your own candidate.

Wow!

I can sight, Saheed Balogun, Zack Orji, Gentle Jack, Brymo Olawale and Rarara.

Neither is lying and none of them is saying the truth.

Truthfully, a committee was set up on Atiku's instructions. The committee was chaired by Ortom and it recommended 3 candidates (afterwards an informal votes was taken).

Falsehood starts from here:

Atiku: The committee went further "beyond scope" to conduct a vote and present a preferential candidate amongst the 3 recommended candidates.
Ortom: The committee conducting a vote was part of its scope as the ultimate outcome was to recommend a Vice Presidential candidate which they did by Presenting Wike.

Verdict: Atiku merely needed the committee for formality sake as his intention was always to pick Okowa.

Summary: Atiku accepts the committee recommendation of 3 candidates, but doesn't accept the vote which was taken as that "in his thinking" went beyond scope.

Mosesvic11:
Oga one thing you guys should know is that at this present time in this country, muslim to muslim ticket is bad for the peace of the country.. think about it deeply of what use is all social amenities that bat will bring if there is war or crisis in the land? I don't see him as a bad person but his choice is not a good one for us all.

Bro, I understand you and trying to convince you otherwise might not work. Please vote for your choice of candidate who will provide balance between faiths. But for me personally, such balancing haven't brought the peace we want, neither has it brought the prosperity we want.

This is political season, there is free entry and exit from all political parties.

By September, it will be clear who is for whom and where each person stands.

Dear VP Atiku, some of us are old enough to still remember how OBJ rubbished you.

The man you ran to for succour is now the person you are attempting to rubbish.

You went for balance and ran with Ben Obi, where did that take you?

When you finally left AC to go back to PDP, many of us heaved a sign of relief as it was clear that you were never a progressive.

In 2011, ACN choose Nuhu Ribadu a Muslim and Fola Adeola (former MD of GTBank) another Muslim, but there was NO UPROAR. Why? Because they weren't seen as threats. It was clear that they didn't have the required structure to win.

Now that Asiwaju has seen a partner that he can work with, someone with a true progressive mindset in the person of Kashim Shettima, I personally and many others like me will look beyond religion and vote for them on the basis of their antecedents and planned programmes for rescuing our shared future.

As for you, enjoy your balancing with Dr. Okowa. Let's earnestly watch and see how far you will go this time.

richiemcgold:
when will this people start rolling out their manifestos? I mean tinubu, atiku, obi and others.

Up till now, none of them has given any realistic and clearcut plan on how they'll fix the economy & electricity.

It's high time we face the real issues and do away with all these tribal and religion sentiments. It won't take us anywhere.

..and btw, these people below don't know there's a difference between campaign and manifesto.

Here we go. A manifesto is a list of plan and programmes which is usually released by a candidate seeking election, and it details what they intend to achieve and how to intend to achieve it. A campaign is a series of events set up by candidates to sell their programmes (manifesto).

A manifesto is part and parcel of a campaign.

richiemcgold:
I'm talking about manifesto mr man. wetin concern me with campaign?

You don't need to be rude. Furthermore, it will interest you to know that a manifesto is an integral part of an election campaign. Afterall, it is the manifesto that the candidate will speak about at the point of campaign.

richiemcgold:

As per INEC guidelines, campaign officially starts in September.

It will be a bit premature to expect such manifestos now and even visitations to TV stations or advert jingles can only be legally okay once the campaign is officially kicked off.

Hence we will all need to be patient.

The same Emmanuel Bwacha that went to pay congratulatory visit to Kashim Shettima?

Let's watch and see. So many things flying in the media space nowadays.

Indifferent12:
Lol, I just dey look u dey laugh, dey there dey wallow on ur ignorance.

Can you disprove what I said? If you can't then shame on you, as you are the ignorant one.

3ple9iner:
If Osinbanjo or Ameichi was the aspirant of the APC, it wouldn't change anything.

Now people are voting any party other than the APC irrespective of competency.
Take a look at how people were celebrating APC loss and not even PDP winning.


The people criticizing Tinubu are not doing so because he is incompetent or because he his corrupt but because
1) These people don't see good coming from the APC
2) Tinubu hasn't been popular amongst the people from a tribe anything about him is hated, I don't know why.
3) Is age and other factors.

The bullion van case for example if it can be proven that indeed money was inside, Tinubu would be charged for money laundering, right?
Now look at Peter Obi case of 250m seen in his car which he claimed to be for a contractor, isn't that also money laundering but people aren't bother about that but that of Tinubu.


I tell people APC would lose this election because of Buhari's underperformance and not because of the candidates they bring forward.

On-point!

Hmmn.

Amaechi right? So that you guys can drag him about the alleged corruption in Rivers State, drag him about the kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, drag him about the indebtedness of the economy etc.

Osinbajo right? So that you guys can drag him about his non-performance as VP, drag him about him being only a specialist in "condolence affairs", drag him about being Tinubu's lawyer, drag him about his lack of executive experience, drag him about all the failures of the Buhari government and place everything on his head etc.

El-Rufai as VP right? So that you guys can drag as a Religious bigot, drag him as a perceived Muslim fundamentalist, drag him for the alleged corruption in BPE during the OBJ years, drag him about alleged corruption in the allocation of land in FCT when he was a Minister.

There is no one APC presented that you won't do same to them as being done to Tinubu right now.

APC was very smart in choosing their best bet, which is Tinubu and insult or no insult, lies or no lies, if this is his time, there is nothing you can do to stop him.

JohnBullMySon:
The single fact that you had to name multiple corporations further agrees with my earlier comment that they cannot easily replace Google's integrated offerings.

I'd like to see the market share as well.

I think you need to find out more about the companies I mentioned.

I mentioned several Russian companies operating in the IT space which offer same services as Google and in some cases even more.

Even in self driving cars. While Google was still struggling with this, Yandex had already developed and trialed it successfully.

JohnBullMySon:
What assets exactly? Are Google severs/ data centers located in Russia?

All they have to do is to relocate workers to a nearby country while Russians continue to use their services on the Internet. Even if Russia blocks Google they still the one at most loss. They lose access to Gmail, Drive, Youtube, Search, GoogleTV, Assistant and the rest etc. You cannot replace them even in ten years.

Here is why ignorance isn't good. Many who comment here don't even bother to research on Russia or even know what they do, how they do it and why they do it.

For your information, Google leaving Russia won't be a loss to Russia, but rather it will be a loss to Google as they will lose a $3.5bn market.

Also do note that Google is not the largest IT services company in Russia. Yandex.Ru is the largest and main IT services company in Russia with the largest market share. Yandex has everything that Google has and even more. Google comes second, and is closely followed by Mail.Ru in third.

Russia has it own backbone IT structure including Social Media giants like Vkontakte, Odnoklassiki and Rutube. With regards to Playstore, they have RuStore and NashStore which hosts all Russian apps.

There is nothing they need from Google bro, that they don't already have themselves.

Food served for those willing to consume without questions.

AntonVince:
He did not condemn it...only seeking to reap from it.
Turaki was only playing politics.

Okay if you see it that way.

AntonVince:
I haven't heard or read about anyone from the opposition condemning it.
Only Christian APC members have so far expressed their dissent, so what's your point?

Atiku condemned it

I'm impressed.

Instead of talking like some are doing, see men with action.

Although, this must surely have Buhari's blessing. Coz na him go still sign the check.

People should vote their choice.

Enough of all this campaign of calumny against Asiwaju and Shettima by CAN et al.

Afterall, Atiku is there, Obi is there too.

CAN didn't see anything wrong in PDP breaking their time honoured tradition of rotating power between North and South all in the guise of wrestling power from the APC by choosing a Fulani Northern candidate in Atiku after having a Fulani Northern candidate in Buhari for 8 years.

As for those linking Shettima with Boko Haram, lies can only go as far before the truth will catch up with it.

KEVIND:
2011 general elections results. Jonathan didn't need to win Kano, kaduna, katsina, Borno, zamfara, sokoto, yobe to become Nigeria's president. Peter Obi can reciprocate this.

You aptly forgot that Jonathan was the incumbent in 2011 running on a platform that was the major political party at the time with over 20 governors plus an absolute majority in both houses of the National Assembly.

You are seriously overrating Peter Obi. I'm not saying you shouldn't support him, but be realistic.

Good combination!

jimyjames:
It's not a fallacious argument it's an argument based on facts,
Yes the population of lagos is far far bigger than that of Anambra, lagos is overwhelming populated with no structure in place to make the place conducive to accommodate the population, which makes it a difficult place for people to live
People migrating to lagos doesn't mean lagos is a better place to live most of these people have mansion in their village but are living in a face me I face you apartments in lagos , they migrate there for commerce, lagos is a commercial hub noisy, polluted congested

Cost of living is not about income level, it's about how well you can live with the little you have, a civil servant maybe earning 100k in lagos a month and it won't be enough for food, transportation electricity etc while someone in Anambra with the same amount it will be more than enough with something left to save in the bank

Comparing the traffic in lagos to new York makes no sense pls research the transportation system of both

You are just a bitter liar. Go and develop your own state and leave Lagos alone.

Many countries of the world are experiencing severe flooding and it is not limited to Nigeria or Lagos in particular. This is majorly due to the effect of global warming.

So the ignoramuses above me trying to demean Lagos and by extension Asiwaju Tinubu should keep quiet.

jimyjames:
People don't spend 7 hours in traffic in Anambra like they do in lagos, food is cheaper in Anambra than lagos, house rent is cheaper in Anambra than in lagos, power supply is better in Anambra than in lagos,cost of living in Anambra is better than in lagos, in fact people live better in Anambra, Enugu, uyo, calabar asaba etc better than people in lagos, lagos is not the best place to live in, in Nigeria, lagos is just a commercial economic hub a market of Nigeria, it was no longer conducive to be the capital of Nigeria that's why a new capital was created in Abuja

This is a very fallacious argument. Can you compare the population of Lagos with that of Anambra state? The number of cars on the road in Lagos state is more than the number of cars in SE/SS/SW states combined so why won't there not be traffic. Also, in resolving this issue Lagos is already building two Intra city rail lines to decongest the roads. Furthermore, have you factored the number of people from your region and other regions of Nigeria migrating into Lagos daily and the attendant pressures they place on the Social Infrastructures of Lagos?

You talk about cost of living, but have you reasoned the fact that cost of living goes hand in hand with the income level of the society? Are the incomes earned in Anambra compared with the incomes earned in Lagos?

Using your logic, then Lagos must be better than New York City. Afterall, the traffic in Lagos isn't comparable to that of New York, and thr cost of living in Lagos is cheaper than that of New York.
