Politics / Re: Reactions As World Largest Painting Of President Tinubu Is Revealed Today by mahdino: 3:04pm On Jun 12
Louisojibe:
As Nigeria celebrates its democracy day today Wednesday June 12, 2024, a large canvass painting portrait of president Tinubu has been revealed.

The large portrait was unveiled at the Eagles Square to mark the 2024 Democracy Day celebration. The painting was worked on by the Artefact Gallery, Best Theatre Company and the National Council for Arts and Culture.

The President, Bola Tinubu had earlier delivered a Democracy Day speech to the nation. And in his speech, he addressed a variety of issues affecting the country one of which is the minimum wage.

Tinubu Isn’t the Only President to Stumble, It’s Human

By John Mayaki

Today, President Bola Tinubu was seen struggling with his flowing agbada, causing a misstep as he climbed into the back of a parade vehicle at Eagles Square, during the commemoration of the June 12 Democracy Day. However, he is far from the only world leader to have taken a visible fall. Here are other memorable political falls or trips.

In 2016, a media frenzy ensued when Hillary Clinton, then the Democratic presidential nominee, buckled and stumbled after becoming sick during a 9/11 memorial service in New York. Diagnosed with pneumonia, Clinton’s doctor said she became overheated and dehydrated at the event. The incident became a hot button in a highly charged campaign, with her rival Donald Trump repeatedly questioning her stamina for office.

In 2020, Donal Trump as President, looked unsteady on his feet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His slow, unsteady walk while descending a ramp led critics to use the hashtag #TrumpIsNotWell. Trump tweeted that the ramp was “very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” insisting the “last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with.”

He also made headlines in 2017 when he clutched the hand of Prime Minister Theresa May during her visit to the White House, an incident that came as a “surprise” to May, her advisers later said.

Exactly 48 years to the day of Biden’s June 1 tumble, President Gerald Ford fell while disembarking Air Force One in Salzburg, Austria. Ford, 61, lost his balance on the wet steps, skidding down and ending up in a heap on the tarmac. He later quipped, “Thank you for your gracious welcome to Salzburg, and I am sorry I tumbled in.” The incident was widely broadcast and used in late-night comedy shows, portraying the president as bumbling and clumsy.

In 2019, China’s leader Xi Jinping nearly slipped off a stage in Russia during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Surrounded by other world leaders, Xi appeared to lose his footing but quickly regained his composure. Commentators labeled it the “great fall of China,” musing about its implications for his carefully curated strongman image.

That’s not all, Zimbabwe’s late leader Robert Mugabe fell down red-carpeted steps in Harare in 2015. The government immediately denied the fall, with Information Minister Jonathan Moyo blaming poor carpeting and suggesting that “even Jesus” would have tripped. Critics pointed to Mugabe’s age, 90, as another reason for him to step down after more than three decades in power.

Even the war-monger fell - in 2019, Vladimir Putin known for curating a strongman image, Russia’s President fell while playing ice hockey at Sochi’s Bolshoy Ice Dome in 2019. After winning the game, Putin took a victory lap before slamming into the floor. He was quickly helped up and skated off, maintaining his composure.

Our colonial masters were not left out - Boris Johnson fell in 2015 when he was the then-mayor of London, he slipped during a charity tug-of-war game along the River Thames. Known for his disheveled appearance, Johnson’s fall, where he exclaimed “oh bugger” before falling on the muddy grass, made tabloid headlines.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher fell after politically fraught meetings in Beijing in 1982. As she left the Great Hall of the People, she stumbled down the steps, a moment captured on camera and perceived by many in Hong Kong as a sign of Britain’s waning power amid negotiations with China.

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt fell down steps in Paris in 2015. Wearing high heels, she wobbled and fell outside France’s Elysee Palace, landing on her hands and knees. She quickly dusted herself off and continued to take questions from reporters.

In today’s era of social media and 24-hour news cycles, public appearances by politicians are heavily scrutinized, and stumbles are often framed within narratives about their fitness for office.

And so, President Tinubu’s misstep today is a reminder that even the most powerful leaders are not immune to such incidents. As enumerated above, a momentary lapse in balance can become a lasting image in the public’s mind, often used to challenge a leader’s fitness for office or underscore their human vulnerabilities. Tinubu’s fall, like those of his counterparts, reminds us of the frailties of man - It’s human to fall, and sometimes, it’s how leaders rise afterward that truly defines them. Tinubu tripped but rose and performed all the functions necessary at the parade ground.

From a reliable source.
after it was established last night that Akitu had actually traveled to US,BMC/BMO were thrown into disarray,
they had a meeting from about 3am till about 9am brainstorming on what information/propaganda to dish out to Nigerians.
some suggested that they should say Atiku bribed US officials,another person suggested that they should say Atiku made a deal to sell some assets to US,they know that these ones won't sell so at the end they settled that they should say he went under legislative immunity under Saraki that is why you see them all over the cyber space propagating this idiotic and senseless theory.

the question is there any thing like legislative immunity?
how can saraki who does not enjoy legislative immunity in his country enjoy such in another country?
how come this legislative immunity doesn't cover Dino?


Ok, if you think the Govt. or APC is blackmailing Atiku. We dare you to tell the Senate President to leave Atiku behind. In the 1st place we dare Atiku to go to US not in a crew using unfair respectable office of the No. 3

This man Buhari is a product of the illiteracy in the North. What has he done over the years to have the followership he enjoys? Nothing, absolutely nothing. We here and still see what the likes of Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello did in their time, tangible strides in a short time. What will Buhari be remembered for if he drops today after stints as a military and civilian head of state? Again, nothing. Yet he enjoys a cult like followership in the largely uneducated north to d extent that the elites who know the truth are afraid to speak out.

Today, Nigeria is more unsecured than at any time in her history, safe for the Biafra war.

Today, the level of economic hopelessness and stagnation we find ourselves in is alarming.

Today, Nigeria is disunited more than ever before.

But Buhari had the opportunity. He had to opportunity to galvanize a nation, to inspire the people. Yet he chose to play to the gallery and hype around his personality, to engage in sensationalism instead of statemanship.

All the above mentioned problems, how can you blame Baba for it? That is unfair, all these problems is because PDP mismanage the country.

BUHARI IS THEIR MENTOR, HE WANTS TO USE HIS OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL MONEY FROM CENTRAL BANK.

IF NOT WHY WOULD BUHARI TELL US THAT KILLER HERDSMEN ARE NOT NIGERIANS, THAT THEY ARE FROM NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES BUT WANTS NIGERIA TO SURRENDER/DONATE THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND TO THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT - KILLER HERDSMEN.

Only fool will vote APC or PDP.

Enough is enough
Bro you don't have to get angry on APC and categorize them like PDP, they are far different. In APC not all are clean 100% at least even PMB enemies will agree that he is never any time corrupt or untrust worthy. But PDP are not ready to repent at any time, they are just hanging up to continue the conventional unrealistic life and system. Drawing us backward.

Before then you won't see any church up north now the core north are majority after Muslims,even certain communities are Christians dominated areas..

The middle belt that used to be majority Muslims are now minority that's why there are ethic cleansing done by Muslims..

So is Islam dying in Nigeria at at large?

Ethnic cleansing, are you talking about the Christian terrorists in Jos, killing and eating people then dumping there belongings in the pound?

Lesgupnigeria:

what I can deduce from your statement is that the politicians (APC) are the ones causing the trouble to budget more billions for security so that they can launder it for personal and business use?
am I right?
don't you think the opposition parties can also be doing the same to score political point and use that to castigate the ruling party and cast a picture of lack of capabilities to stem security lapses and make us to think they are the ones that can solve those security challenges so as to gain sympathy and votes from Nigerians?
just thinking

Brother, these very herdsmen crisis is coined to blackmail the govt. Because there are so many big rich people who are not enjoying and Chopin Nigeria the way they use to in the expense of the masses infrastructural development. Do you think your enemy cannot kill your territory to frame you? Let me tell the way people are use to free corrupted money they can do anything to get it back
Politics / Re: Withdraw Bishop Kukah From Peace Committee - BMO Warns After Visit To Atiku, Obj by mahdino: 7:53am On Oct 17, 2018
Ibegtodiffer:
Saw this post somewhere. I'm reposting.
I wish this "BMC" was a single known person,.but that not withstanding, by statements like this, they're destroying the little sympathy some Catholics still have for Buhari. The role of Catholics in the election of Buhari in 2015 was massive. They are also very patient set of people. They also speak last after massive consultation. Insulting a revered Bishop Kukah, who is definitely a stakeholder of the Catholic Church in Nigeria will be a stupid idea. Come to think of it, could it be that Atiku has infiltrated the BMC?

So one should not tell a Reverend or leader when he has gone wrong? It's not an attitude of a leader like that to show he is one-sided. If eventually, crisis comes up during the election (we don't pray for that) so do you expect one to bring someone who has shown his interest in one of the candidate to be a reference?

I can't imagine when people talk like this, how can we as he said North West vote for Atiku and go back to the PDP era?
Have you forgotten all these?
Number 1.
If they can tell me how $1.1tr according OPEC report disappear without a single project for 16yrs
Gej received $400b for 4yrs without a single project.
But buhari only received $94b according to OPEC report and he has touched every sectors of the economy across the six geopolitical zones.
69 projects ongoing in SE,
14 projects ongoing in ekiti state alone.
Housing project ongoing across the country, and 5 housing estate completed,
850km of roads construction completed,
1550km of roads rehabilitated.
Revived 17 fertilizer plant.
2 seaport and dry port.
power sector, from 3,000mw to 7,000mw.
2 international airport(enugu and ph) will be Commission by Dec.
Ajaokuta steel company is 90% completed.
Mokwa -jebba road completed,
2 railway completed.
So many projects to be commission by Dec or before election.
All the projects like railway from Lagos to kano will be completed before the end of 2020.
2nd Niger bridge will be completed in 2020.
Fulfill Recurrent expenditure like bailout 30 state that could not pay salaries.
Buhari paid biafra ex-service men and pensioners. Etc
Fight against corruption.
Efcc has recovered 1tr naira, many unrecover loot are still going on in court.
On security,
Boko Haram hoist their flag in 20 local government and sambisa forest, but today, Boko Haram are no more, except suicide bomber on soft target and kidnapping for ransom.
Rescued dapchi girls and chibok girls.
so many achievement , but the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist said the best president has failed,
how?
So i asked.

Number two,,
Before i will atikulate,
the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist have answer the first question, then, thief atiku should return his criminally illegal acquire oil-well.
Because buhari don't have oil-well.

buhariguy:
the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist don't really know the meaning of corruption perception.
This period of corruption awareness gave the transparency international the insight to view how Nigerians are corrupt.
Buhari fight against corruption was an eye opener,
Transparency international were able to see how people were hiding money in soak-way, under their bed, how snake swallow jamb money, how dasuki carry trailer to cbn to move raw cash.
Transparency international are still paranoid with the kind of corruption in Nigeria.

Guy you too much, you have cleared by perception on why Nigeria is said to have been worse in corruption.
