You really need to calm down and stop hyperventilating, because that is the only way you can find peace with this your frustration. For your mind now, I'm supporting APC because I'm stating the obvious, SMH. Well, if you care to know I'm not a supporter of any political party neither am I a fan of any politician because majority of them don't mean well for the country. While I'm not holding brief for Fayose, I must tell you this, either there is a leak audio tape or video tape of him in circulation this doesn't prove him guilty until the court found him to be.

The Rufai you are worshiping now, who as a journalist should be more composed and able to maintain decorum in a program that he himself was anchoring rather chose to be throwing tantrums with his guest like someone bitten by a rabid dog, and yet you are claiming that he is an intelligent journalist. Have you ever watched any international TV station taking this dimension when engaging people in their studio, his colleague Abati even needs to remind him that this is not a dialogue. I'm sure no reputable international media organisation would employ him with that this display of aggression and arrogance.

We know people like you very well so no surprises...

Rufai is appreciated by thinking and objective Nigerians so keep your 2 kobo bad belle to yourself...

You want Rufai to make out like your average brown envelope journalist who would indulge corrupt politicians..

Rufai will not elect to waste people's time by anchoring a sham show where the critical issues are dodged while participants go through the motions.

He will keep asking tough questions and if you don't like it, go to court....

simple87:



Are you the judge that found Fayose guilty of electoral fraud? At best what you are saying about Fayose electoral fraud case is a mere allegation which he was never found guilty of, and if you, can't prove it in a competent court kindly shove this allegation down your throat before you are charge for character assassination. Emotion don't win in court my friend, know this and know peace...

As if I can ever take you APC supporters seriously....

When Fayose was in the PDP, he was the next thing close to Satan: APC propaganda machine went to town with how he rigged Ekiti election with an army captain...the audio clips were all over the place..

Now that Fayose's diet has turned to agbado, he has suddenly become infallible saint to you guys...

You are only fooling yourselves...

Legitisreal:
This man likes cashing out on attention, even when the women are protesting for PDP mandate

The stolen mandate took bottom place in his statement while concentrating on the emotional lamba of 40% affirmation and right to vote, religious sentiment
wise ipob what is stollen

Common sense you don't have...

So Peter Obi should only criticize injustice when it affects Labour Party?

People wey no get substance like venting their frustrations on those who do....

simple87:



How is stating the fact by Fayose a blackmail or are you saying Rufai was not caught breaking the law? He was found guilty by a judge and fined 70k which he paid before his car could be released to him. Honestly, we don't need to distort the truth in making our stands known on issue.

Most of you can't think critically to save your lives...

How does bringing out the fact that Fayose has a weighty history of electoral fraud get vitiated by reminding Rufai that he had a traffic infraction?

This sick logic is like saying that criminals should not be brought to book since Nigerians are known to be fantastically corrupt...

Can you see that you are thinking like the Medes and Persians of antiquity?

Omowale2023:
Bro.....you said "Obi, go to court" he has gone. So what's the colour of your problem?
Obi said, he won the elections, and he will prove it. So let him prove it. If people in authority feel otherwise, then he will consider the next step. Your arguments aren't constructive or intelligent. Please think before you type.

Aptly rendered...

Can't add more...

lol...

Were you drunk when you asked Peter Obi to go to court?

You didn't do your homework ni?

Proceedings never start some don dey shake already...

Frankiss44:


Some kids here on nairaland were calling him names.. This man is a sound SAN and Tinubu and Co should be worried he is on Obi's team

The opposition had the presence of mind to engage most of the brightest legal minds in the land...

Livy Uzoukwu

Onyechi Ikoeazu

J S Okutepa

Mike Ozekhome

Any of these four men strike fear in any courtroom...

duduade16:
He lost in osun Tribunal, stop fake news, If I may ask is there any lawyer that have not lose any case before

Google is supposed to be your friend...

Buga judgement quashed...

jumper524:
Shehu sani can only fool minions not reasonable people.

I've been a news watcher right from my childhood as against cartoon amongst my peers.
It has kept me exceptional to my peers in the eyes of adults.

Most news watcher barely watch arisetv and its a known fact, sane way they hardly watch TVC.
I've stayed with many elderly men to confirm this. Oseni rufai publicity is all about electoral happenings and also on twitter. Sane men know where to watch quality news content full of intellectual.
When people watch programmes like politics today on Channels. They watch with keen interest on what the guest actually thinks in his own opinion. Seun gives you that platform to air your view. But arisetv is all about bragging about superiority of its interviewers.
They just want to show off rather than delivering content.
Don't forget too soon that those praising arisetv now were the ones dragging them some months ago when Peter Obi was exposed during a townhall interview by reuben Abati.
Their relevance lies with people's sentiment not superior content.
And I can tell even shehu sani tunes into the next channel when he starts seeing the irritating attitude of that arrogant journalist.
Not his fault actually, majority of elders including Peter Obi would do same..
Only amateurs into politics would stay tuned.
Jokers.

Ogbeni, how does this jeremiad you put up here add up?

Arise TV has taken over the leadership of Nigerian electronic media and there is nothing misguided people like you can do about it...

In Arise TV, every presenter is a star...

It is not only Reuben and Rufai....

There are Charles, Ayo, Ngozi and others...

There are many presenters whose careers were going nowhere by virtue of the non-existent airtime given to them in either Channels or TVC...

They got to Arise TV and they are also enjoying reasonable visibility...

With time the likes of Kadaria, Sulaiman will also begin to make their presence felt...

If person pass you, no waste your diss, im don pass you...

Nothing exemplifies how u serious Atiku and PDP are than the fact that a confused and directionless person like Reno Omokri is allowed get airtime on their affairs...

simple87:


How did Fayose got served? Rufai sounded stupid in the interview with Fayose. He was claiming a saint until Fayose reminded him that he is a braker of the law and an intimidator. He said Fayose was rooting for BAT, and of course Fayose didn't deny that but then Fayose reminded him that he also supported Peter Obi and the obidients movement, a fact he couldn't deny and all he could do was to smile sheepishly. The question now is as a journalist is he suppose to take side? he is just a partisan journalist and Seun is far above board than him. Dude needs to grow up.

Fayose tried a cheap blackmailing gambit which collapsed totally

Strafudeen:
Bayo onanuga has been spitting evil against obidients and igbos, from claiming obidients are ipob, to they burnt down lagos, to asking igbos not to participate as citizens in elections.

Seun interviewed keyyamo the spokesperson of apc pcc and couldn't ask him to if he could denounce onanuga....

That would be the first thing a rufai would ask keyamo

The day that bigot called Bayo Onanuga walks into an Arise TV studio for an interview with Rufai will be the day Tinubu will have no option but cut him loose...

I am sure Rufai will research him off his feet in addition to making him look and sound foolish...

Fayose thought it was all about talking inanities on national TV but he got served...

Naira20:
Kikikiki... FraudTUS Keyamo don bully am tire.

Rufai Oseni ti jarawo Seun Okinbaloye.

Most people watch AriseTV because of two persons
1.Rufai Oseni
2.Charles Aniegolu(not sure of the spelling)

Yes Charles Aniagolu...

You feel like you are listening to a CNN or BBC journalist...

If Rufai, Ayo and Charles leave Arise TV today, I am sure the viewership will drop drastically...

Softmirror:
WHY CAN'T YOU APPLY FOR HIS JOB AS A TAKE OVER FROM HIM.LIKE MOST CRITICS, THEY MOSTLY FAIL WHEN CHARGED WITH RESPONSIBILITY. ALL THAT THEY HAVE IS THEIR MOUTH.

Oga, must you type in caps?

You come add typing in caps to your yeye arguments...

Wetin we do you?

He is just an establishment journalist with soft balls...

He should go for a crash course with Rufai Oseni on how to skilfully ferret out information from guests...

raskymonojendor:
The law needs to come down hard on fake news peddlers irrespective of whether they are journalists, citizens or media houses. These people will set the country on fire, but I get that's they want - crab in a bucket mentality. At the end of the day, no one has the monopoly of violence.

Anyway, they are just huffing and puffing, 29th of May is almost here. It's just about 9weeks away.

You have to think smartly...

Until you discount the possibility of a meeting as alleged, you cannot do jack about the rumour...

If you go after the press, they will beam their searchlight on you and for the likes of Tinubu, a lot of unflattering revelations might probably come up...

It is challenging a Rufai Oseni or David Hundehin without doing your homework first, they will roast with disclosures you never fathomed would come up...

JoshTim:



Sometimes i wonder where slow poke like you learned from....it's totally unethical to start discussing or make reference to personal life of Fayose...rufai got served the same tea he served.

Like seriously?

What is personal about Fayose's alleged involvement in electoral fraud?

You APC supporters can surprise me again...

You guys were the ones carrying this Fayose matter on your head for several years...

Now that he has done what he has done and now supporting Tinubu, we should close our eyes and forget his past, abi?

Rufai should have allowed Fayose to continue insulting on sensibilities on national TV, no be so?

You have to feel sorry for Festus Keyamo...

He never expected Peter Obi to launch such a devastating petition....

He initially said he was happy with the petition but as lucidity sets in, he now realises that he and his principal are in a double bind....

BanyXchi:
you're mentally deranged and you should seek help Osu. Ebonyi is on top 3 poorest states in the country, poorer than most northern states. That place should be turned to a massive national cemetery.

I've been to all the states in your shithole region, don't you find it ironic talking about bad roads. Again don't compare your shithole to SW, we're far apart. Just keep your delusions to yourself

Just do a bit of traveling and watch your arguments disappear...

helinues:


Before you dash us clothes, let us see your wardrobe first

Whick Kain remark be this...

You are not blind na.

OlawaleBammie:
Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man bro

Na Onitsha man fvck hin mama run away

lol...

I am actually serious...Not joking.

helinues:



How many times have you been bursted on this forum for impersonating? Why is it hard for you people to be proud of your lineage?

That you have stayed in SW, learn our language still can never make you an Omoluwabi.

Quit the impersonating

If you can ever think....

Learning from your shortcomings can actually stop the hues and cries of the Igbos buying all of your lands in Lagos.

Go to Ojo in Lagos and see that most of the place has been bought by Igbo boys that came to Lagos with virtually nothing.

A wise man like Ope Banwo did a video chastising people like you who struggle objectively.

An Igbo man comes to your land with nothing. He starts hustling and then he starts buying your land while you are doing owambe with the money you got from the land sold.

If I were you, I would find a way to make sure that some of my children understudy the successful Igbo traders so that they can also thrive and be self sufficient...

Everything is not blind argument, oga...

MrAgbako:

Another yoruba recolonized ndigbo citizen doing damage control. The reverse psychology is dead on arrival. Come learn from Yorubas perhaps we can donate you some of our leaders to help develop the east for y'all. Y'all should be ready to drop that egoist and bigoted attitude towards Yorubas. Hausa's put you in your place. Yorubas will put you in your place too since your IPOB terrorist brothers keep crossing their boundary. The west is not the east.

It is rank foolishness to reduce everything to tribal back and forth argument...

The Igbos are not perfect but there are a lot things the Yorubas can learn from the Igbos which will go a long way to reduce the tension existing between both peoples...

Foremost is the sense of justice. An Igbo person can die just to uphold equity and justice.

It is like this Tinubu issue. We Igbos cannot wrap our heads around the fact that another Yorubaman is ready to burn the country down just to become president even Obasanjo, another Yorubaman has been president for 8 years.

I am sure that if the scales were turned, it is even Igbos who would have led the vanguard to ensure that another Igboman doesn't take a position that should rightfully go to people should have it.

It is purely the way the Igbo consciousness and worldview is programmed

Secondly, in the area of commerce and trading, it is a shame that the Yorubas are poor learners in the commercial prowess for which the Igbos have achieved global renown.

You go to a stret and see an Igboman build a thriving chain of stores from a four by four shop.

How does he do it?
He embraces excellent customer service. He smiles at the customer. He rarely quarrels or antagonizes a customer. He makes sure that he has a wide range of goods. He buys from the source to reduce cost price. He invests money to create a good aesthetics and ambience He is forward-thinking in the location of his business. He goes where most people dread. He doesn't flinch in the face of competition: bring on the Chinese, the Indian or the Lebanese. He has a religious devotion to frugality and diligence.

His Yoruba co-resident has been watching. He opens a shop not because of the desire to provide service but purely because of either envy or partake in the business largesse of the Igboman.

.just one year down the line. He closes down the shop because he has been rude to customers. He has most likely used his capital to bankroll frivolous parties. He never had a stomach for venturesomeness and risk-taking...

IGBOSON1:


It’s amazing how you and your fellow rancid bigots are all over the forum pretending not to know of the criminality that went on in Lagos prior to….and on election day last Saturday! You pretend there’s just been a free and fair election in which the Tinubu puppet Sanwo Olu ‘won’ a second term in office fair and square, then you go about giving your jaundiced, prejudicial and bigoted take on matters pertaining to said election!

The ethnic profiling, ethnic baiting, voter intimidation and suppression, and blatant rigging has been discussed and is all over electronic, print and social media since before the elections up till today, but you ignore all that while giving your hate-filled opinion on why you think GRV ‘lost’ the election! This is all happening in Lagos you bastards brag about and which is said to be cosmopolitan and supposed to be a melting-pot for all Nigerians! Later, when a Kemi Badenoch is elected MP or goes on to be a minister or PM in the UK, you hateful ass will be first in line to brag about her achievement and congratulate her!

Every reasonable person should pray never to share the same country with you sick slimeballs! You’re an utter disgrace!

Xenophobic dolts! The whole sad lot of una!

It is pointless wasting time and energy on those lots...

I took pains to watch the whole clip.

I dare say that GRV had a splendid outing which every rational mind can attest to...

You have to pity these tribal Lilliputians and their deplorable pettiness...

GRV was addressing a sentient and reasonable audience and we heard him loud and clear..

Agberos and their supporters with agbero mentality should stop punching the air because the day of reckoning might not that too far away..

Reality3080:
It’s obvious the guys handlers are igbos so many of them don’t even understand d Yoruba culture n d best way to approach cultural issues, this guy is not in any way making ways to court Yorubas or trying to make them see him as one of them

He just does things anyhow irrespective of how d people feel, the earlier d better he understand that d Yoruba culture n Igbo culture are very different

This guy doesn’t even hide the fact that he’s empty as per Yoruba culture, if this guy had been elected it will have led to disaster cos it will b a square peg in a round hole

With his mindset n how he doesn’t think Yoruba, his best bet is to contest in Igbo land cos everything about him is igbo

You are not making sense...

Are you implying that being Yoruba means being demonic?

The difference between GRV and your likes is education and exposure.

The man understands Yoruba culture more than you...

No-one needs to be a Balogun or an Aare Ona Kakanfo to know that the Oro rites are traditionally carried out at night and not in the day time just because of political design..

On the contrary, GRV has a bright future in politics both at Lagos State level and nationally...

Even the Oba of Lagos, who is domiciled at Tinubu's back pocket, confessed that GRV is a solid material for the future

Nigerians are seeing and hearing him and we are not all fools not to recognize a talent when we see one.

You need grow up and function like a liberated modern man... Tribalism is the default inclination of losers...

seunmsg:
Obi the bad loser has failed already. We shall defend this mandate with everything. Thereafter, we shall ensure that Peter Obi and those backing him in this show of shame shall never be allowed to rule this country.

Oga, why are you telling us?

You people should invest your time to build your defense because the tsunami coming at you will be unprecedented...

IgOga:
Na wetin Arthur Nzeribe do be that. Na their way.....Dem nor like good thing now......but this 2023 God pass them


If Tinubu nor wan handover in 2031 at least he can quote Datti and Obi that the president has the power to annul an election.....these people nor dey think far

Tinubu is your "good thing" not ours, oga...

Initially they said the prayers were frivolous...

Now the full import of that petition appears to have sunk in...

It is a demolition job...

JovialJune:


Atiku got 25% in 2/3 states, so how exactly will Atiku be jumped to declare Obi as president?

You are not thinking...

The prayer is seeking to quash INEC declaration so the placing by INEC will be irrelevant if the prayer succeeds in court...

dustmalik:

First of all, you can't subpoena an American security agency in Nigeria.

Secondly, the said crime, even if it was true, it's been more than 20 years. In Nigeria, an indicted or convicted person can run for office after a period of 10 years outside of his serving term. Tinubu was never convicted nor indicted.

Obi is wasting his time and resources

The statute of limitations does not extend to criminal offenses...

iLoveYouToo:
I thought you were too sure, why did you call it a ‘smart gamble’?

If you’re sure it won’t be a gamble

Every court case or litigation is a gamble because no-one can say for sure what the outcome can be...

Nobody is God who has foreknowledge...
