When you are in the West make sure you wear cap all the time to protect your skull from skull harvesters .......I hear say those people no dey take eye see skull

Nothing other than rigging can make PDP and Atiku lose in South East

gbolah1:
What make you believed Atiku will restructure Nigeria if he eventually win?
Was it not pat of ACN agender before they move to APC?
For your information APC also promised restructured when they are campaign in 2015 but they never fulfil it.

Atiku is a go-getter. It is actually an insult to compare Atiku with the incumbent


Atiku has run private businesses successfully, creating tens of thousands of jobs in the process. Even if he is corrupt, what good did all the other politicians do with the money they looted?

which is one is to 'avoid maginalised' ?


Think Nigeria, think what is better for our country


Don't be shortsighted, Vote for Atiku who is going to restructure Nigeria and allow the Yorubas the autonomy they need to develop South West.

ok. But All that is gold glitters

You cant stop a dead man from travelling!


In the spirit realm, travel is automatic! They neither have airports, planes nor immigration officials

BabaRamota1980:
[s]A number of revelations were made in the disagreement and dissatisfaction of Ibo leaders and governors with Atiku over choice of VP.

1. SE had been in discussion with Atiku and his 4th wife for longer than six months.

2. They had also negotiated with Atiku and 4th wife that he must pick VP from SE if he wants to win.

3. They had traded with both Atiku and 4th wife that if they accept Prof. Charles Soludo as VP to Atiku, their States delegates will endorse and vote enmasse for his victory in PDP primaries.

4. Atiku and 4th wife agreed to the conditions of support given to them by SE leaders and governors.

5. On the morning of PDP primary, Saraki was pictured emerging from a meeting tagged as warm and serious in what appeared to be an endorsement of Obi as VP should Saraki win primary.

6. After primary we learnt from reports that Atiku won primary, saved by SE delegates who voted enmasse to give him victory.

7. Few days later Atiku announced Peter Obi as his choice of VP.



In the negotiation to market themselves as a better option than SW, Ibo leaders would also have fired a long list of demagoguery why Yoruba will be a bad choice for Atiku and 4th wife. They did similar in positioning why, out of the two top contenders, Soludo as a better option to Ngozi.

I'm wondering why Atiku's 4th wife, an Ibo, is principal in the negotiation? Was there also a trade for her to be the recognized First Lady, catapulted above the Yoruba and the two Fulani wives he married ahead of her?

Beside people of SE, Nigerians in other regions generally view Saraki as a treacherous politician who uses stealth and fraternity to bring both his friends and foes down. Picture him as a fox in the animal kingdom. ...be that as it is,he is hailed by Ibos as a super achiever and a super brilliant politician who outmaneuvers his opponents with accurate calculations and beat them to their game.

It is no secret that Atiku needs Saraki and Dogara as leaders of NASS as long as is possible to save them from impeachment. Atiku does not have the capacity to defeat Buhari and he knows this. He needs other tangibles to weaken Buhari and destabilize the power of his incumbency against his own chances with the populace. He can dobthat through a friendly legislature. Hence where Saraki comes in, as not only the leader of Senate and legislature but also the statutory 3rd power in order of heirarchy.

Did Saraki also traded with Atiku?

Well, if Saraki's character as known, and his tribulations marketed by Ibos are combined, we should not even ask if Saraki traded with Atiku...we should just accept it as a defacto!

In exchange for what Atiku needs done in NASS...i.e. Saraki to be his navigator to power in 2019, could Saraki equally have supplanted Obi as VP to Atiku...to guarantee his own survival post 2019?


If SE leaders and governors agreed with Atiku and 4th wife to pick SEasterner Soludo and they delivered their end of the bargain at primary by giving victory to Atiku, why did Atiku renege on the deal and selected Obi behind their back?

Who went above the head of SE leaders and governors to approve Obi for Atiku?



Open forum...give your thoughts.

Mods, abeg ban any person that violates rules and derails this thread[/s].

Don't you have anything useful to do with your life?

It beats my imagination how someone can waste valuable time to write this trash

When Atiku was not corrupt




Deceivers

define what you mean by 'better person'

The incumbent is clearly incompetent

The Yoruba people of SW are very brilliant and I trust they will rise above ethnicity and do what is right for our country, which is vote out the man who divided our country and made us a laughing stock in the comity of nations.


For Ibos, I know, their rejection of Buhari is nothing tribal because even when he ran with Ibo VP candidates they still voted against him

Hurricane Atiku

Patching of pot holes achievement.


Shame!

No sir. The same zoning arrangement that zoned presidency to the north, zoned V.P to SE

The slap was ok

Sometimes, you need slap to send the evil spirit out

We already know about that, tell us another one



They didn't say he stole the money, they only said they didn't know the source of the money he sent to US

I Have a dream that:

Nigeria will be one again
The beautiful sun will shine again
The radiant sun will rise in the East and set in the West again
North and South will unite again
East and West will be friends again
Sudden destruction shall overtake all that spill innocent blood and
There will be peace in this land again
There will be love in this land again
The people will smile again
The people will laugh again
The Giant will rise again
The Giant of Africa will take her rightful place again
Nigeria will be great again

Sagay has really lost it!

This is the choice before Nigerians in 2019

Sagay is the one that is truly irrelevant



How dare this eediot insult Obasanjo....the best president Nigeria ever had ...Obasanjo that virtually paid down our external debts to last kobo, brought telecoms and created countless jobs both directly and indirectly

He still has a very wrong mindset. He should have put in more effort, he should studied his books much more, not join others to 'sort' his courses

Mr. Fayose bon voyage

Don't mind Obasanjo. He should retire and stop disturbing Atiku

Sai Atiku

No selling points

The only selling point to say that Atiku is corrupt without evidence

Aspirant No. 1 went to America and met with the president of the America. The American president was so disappointed and disgusted that he said he doesn't ever want to meet someone like this man again.

Aspirant No. 2 has not been able to go America because he asked for visa and was not given perhaps as result of investigations carried out by American authorities


Which one is even better?

The one who went or the one who cannot go

Great idea

Sai Atiku

Whereas both are evil, where you have to choose between two devils, the common sense thing to do is to choose the lesser devil...

Question is would you rather vote someone that is corrupt but competent or someone that is maybe not corrupt but grossly incompetent?

You cant just say someone is corrupt without citing specific examples


I 'll rather have someone that is corrupt but competent than someone that is grossly incompetent because incompetence will cost us more

I thought they said when a Moslem marries more than one wife he must treat them equally.

Why is Ebuka only concerned about Titi and Jamila, what of the other two??


In this case the only way to treat them equally is to equitably rotate the the first lady role as follows: Monday - wife No.1, Tuesday - Wife No. 2, Wednesday - wife No.3, Thursday - Wife No.4, Friday - wife No. 1 again, etc

Anyim is in APC

what is that LovePeddler saying?

Maybe because those contestants are not genuine Christians
