₦airaland Forum

Saturday 18th March will come, election will hold and Sanwo Olu will win.

Then we will have peace of mind from the LP Town Criers here on nairaland.

Or, their usual rant of rigging will now start, which we will largely ignore, or mock them for.

Let's scrap LASTMA, it is an oppressive road usage enforcer that Lagosians don't need.

Wike is soon going to be a Minister of the federation of Nigeria under Tinubu.

Let haters hate on while the man moves higher.

Esoresor:
Stop quoting me if we can’t have a peaceful conversation.

Ignore them, let them rant on. Your view have triggered their tribal hatred, therefore don't read their rejoinders, they will soon get tired of it.

Depot:
I have given out over 1 million new notes to people without charges . They transfer same amount.My business requires cash . I give out whenever I make sales as you I cant deposit in the bank for now. I want to stop giving by Monday because the scarcity is taking longer than expected and I want to travel to the village for Easter . So I need cash . Will start saving up by Monday . I cant travel to the village and be looking like mumu.

God bless you.

It is also a pharmacy owner in my area that is also helping me with small cash now and then. May the ALMIGHTY GOD also bless him too.

Who donminate all the markets in Lagos??

Obedients😁🤣😂

They sell to you at any amount they like and there's nothing you can do about it

So Obidients have become Dangote which sells sugar, cements, salts and spaghetti and will soon begin to sell petrol to everyone in Lagos?

So Obidients have become Nestle, Cadbury, Coca-Cola, Nigeria Brewery, Total, Mobil, MTN, Glo, FBN, GTB, UBA, Nigeria Distillery, which have the biggest shares of marketing sectors in Lagos?

Besides gala, spare parts, stolen phone and computer sets, clothings and shoe wares, and maybe pharmacies in inner Lagos Islands and Ikeja and Agege environs, where else do your Igbo Obidients dominate the huge Lagos markets?

Keep deceiving yourself.

CSTRR:
Desmond Elliot family are all in the US.

The man came to Nigeria to hustle to provide the standard of living for his family back in the US.

Resources that should go into making lives better for your Yoruba people in surulere is going straight to the Elliot family in Yankee.

The Elliot family thank you for your service.

Useful idiot.

Foolish Zombie,
Desmond Elliot has been a beloved actor in the Nigerian film industry for decades before becoming a politician. He has been voted in once or twice under the APC umbrella as a true Lagosian Yoruba, and highly honoured before his #ENDSARS gaffe, which turned him to a pariah among youths.

So your unconfirmed accusation of his having family living abroad have nothing to do with his approval by his people he is representing. Many of our politicians have their family members living abroad, including your Obi, and your president Buhari. And this does not affect their approval rating among their supporters.

So turn your electoral loss frustration upon yourself, your loss has nothing to do with me.

Therefore, like I earlier posted before you vented your maddened spleen:

Desmond Elliot we forgive you.

APC, from top to bottom in Lagos State.

Ellu Pee ti lule l'Eko.

After Saturday 18th March what will you do when Elliot beat your inexperienced LP candidate?

Will you kill yourself?

Therefore step down your anger, election is not a do or die affair. Just accept it when your candidate win or lose and move on with your own life. Your candidate will not die for you if you develop high blood pressure and die because of him. He might not even pay your family a condolence visit.

Desmond Elliot, we forgive you.

APC, top to bottom.

Ellu Pee ti lule l'Eko.

How can a Dane gun be licenced to a preproterous human being that cannot handle the gun with caution. ? Now an innocent life has been wasted due to share negligence

A dane gun needs no licence.

Agent17th:
Shebi u buy fuel at cheaper rate.

Shebi u have free access to cash and indeed good bank network.

Shebi, they sell food produce at cheaper rate for u.

Shebi, general standard of living is smooth and those of ur family and friends.

Shebi, education, health and security is wholesome in ur area.

Shebi! Shebi!! Shebi!!!

When Obi was governor of Anambra State, Shebi he turned Onitsha to little London, therefore you can expect him to turn Nigeria to UK.

Continue deceiving yourself, your Obi is not the Wonderman all of you are painting him to be, and will never be.

Your Obi is just a seven days abracadabra you people have hyped him to, and will never measure up to be a true Nigerian leader.

Soludo? Maybe. But Obi, never.

Ijawboy:
Cheap propaganda. Keep deceiving yourself. You say Obidients are Irrelevant, 4 people tweeting in a room yet you need us to make news SMH.

Ye Obidients are the proverbial 4 people tweeting in a room, creating a storm out of a teacup.

When will ye wake up to the reality of your losses, ye Obidients, when will ye do so?

Until kingdom comes? Sad.

HardMirror:
send ur accnt. I will give you the 2k. But i dont want to see you posting for today again. Go and buy food and get a life.

Yeee! Ol'boy, take am easy oo.

BRATISLAVA:
How did a minister get to know a street huckster and get him into Britain? Their economic circles are worlds apart.

What is interesting about the case is that the minister is now the victim of wanting to trade someone's organ on behalf of his daughter who looks quite good, BTW. He sounds like he's been hard done by the world—by Nwamini who he forged documents for as his nephew, by the doctors, by his daughters illness. He's definitely not guilty or the cause of his current predicament. He has no idea why the world is rigged against him.

He's a lawyer, though. He'll figure it out. Monsieur KC is hot on the iron.

Ekweremadu might need your legal luminosity to help argue his case.

Hope you are not adverse to the offer?

Agadinaagwuofe:
Seriously whenever I hear LP rigged in SE it really makes for joke. I lived outside the region but I voted in the region. There's no way any other candidate will get any votes except PO because everyone on that day especially Enugu where I voted is Obedient and I mean this with all genuineness. Nobody voted for APC not after the horrible 7 years, nobody voted PDP, everyone voted PO and that's how popular he is in the region. He is from the region that gave him some biasness and he is also the better candidate. If that election is conducted 100 times in the SE the same outcome so all these talks of rigging for LP is just figment of imaginations.

Don't jump into concluding that LP did not rig in any of the polling stations across the country. Wait until the presidential election tribunal starts where evidences like that of Cynthia Okeke will be tendered in which LP people rig in many polling units.

Kachikwu said he saw underage kids voting in some places for LP with video evidences, when the tribunal sitting starts, all these will be revealed and all of us will be shocked.

After that maybe LP people will stop claiming that their party is made up of complete saints who cannot cheat.

izenco2005:
I will come back to comment sleep the my eyes

Morning don come now we never see your comment, wetin happen?

FIJ is a renown fake news purveyor whose news items are only to be believed with incredulity.

seguno2:
You are the distortionist bigot.
His tweet was a defence of the GO, in response to the Dr.

So says Dr. Twister. The great twister of Tweeter narratives.

But we know the truth, we know who Chinedu is.

BombAttack:
The same politicians telling you GRV can't be Governor because his mum is from the South East.. they have wife's from the South East and are currently dating South East babes.

If its the turn of their children the narrative will change.

Wise up and vote for GRV for Governor.

By their words we shall know them.

It is Chinedu's utterances that revealed his evil mind against the same people he is vying to govern. God forbids such a man to rule over a Yoruba state.

Vinnie2000:
Labour Party is an IPOB/Igbo Party!

Tinubu/APC Moronic Urchins, Una see how una Yeye Reach? ☹️

This Young Tari will soon be a Legislator While Tinubu Mumu Urchins keep on shouting Igbo, Igbo on Nairaland!

He has not won yet and you are already beating your chest for him.

Let him win (which is impossible in the present Lagos political warfare against Igbos LP) before you do that.

benjsniper33:
So now , Yorubas are now urchins . Okay no wahala ..

I read a book sometime ago on the origins of the Nigerian military coups & the civil war ...

The book detailed what the south-southerners suffered bring under the lordship of the Ibos & how they were wholly regarded as by the Igbos as 2nd class citizens on their own lands ..

The book also detailed how the Ibos in the North mock & taunt their Hausa hosts , made derisive statements at them , calling them all sorts of names like Ewu (cos of their goatee) ndi ara, Mollah, onye ori etc...

The Ibos have derisive names for all tribes in Nigeria ...they don't show respect or humility whatsoever... They have a herd mentality, very predictable, they take advantage at the expense of others wellbeing, they spread emotion-provoking rumours just to incite & they are quick to play the victim card when things ain't going their way..

One other thing I just discovered about them is that they have fascistic tendencies, they don't show mercy even to themselves & they will never accept their own faults ..they'll argue with you till Jesus comes to sound right or seem right

They talk about the massacre of their folk in the civil war (which is true, appalling & an act which I condemn) , but they won't tell you (or don't know ) about the massacres of ethnic folks in Benin, Delta, Portharcourt by Biafran militia & Army ..just because they don't wanna go along with the Biafra secessionist move ..

They also won't admit that after the war , all their properties in the region they now call "Southwest" was intact & given back to them ...but they've eaten and now they got a full belly now so it's time to run they mouth..

Sometimes I really do pity them, cos they got big mouth to say foul things & issue big threats..
but when you strike them hard you find out that their big hefty statue got wooden legs..it's a shame

I like them a lot, I have a thick skin so I don't take things personal..I know their strong points & their weaknesses..I've studied them they are a lovely people but they're also capable of the vilest things you ever know..all you need do is watch their faces & access their body language..then make a statement and watch them convulse ..just keep calm & take notes ..haha

Pushing the Yorubas to the wall is something that even the Northerners are wise enough not to do..

Now we're Urchins, Thugs..etc .right ?
Okay ..continue sha

So true of the Igbos. That's why majority of other tribes don't trust them in leadership positions because of their herd mentality, greedy and possessive behaviour.

Otunbakayce:
It's "MALL" not "MORE", correct it please.

It is Ojaja Moore Mall.

Ojaja is a tributary road to Moore Street in Ile-Ife, I grew up there. While Ojaja Moore is the royal house of the present Ooni of Ife.

The shopping mall is built and owned by the Ooni of Ife, but located at Osogbo, near the state secretariat. So the project is not an Osun state one, and has nothing to do with Governor Adeleke.

The Oba is even building a replica one at Akure, Ondo State.

Kobicove:
I have no pity for Obaseki.

He betrayed those who helped him defeat APC so let him accept whatever comes to him in good faith

So what happened to "Edo no be Lagos"?

Una eyes don clear now.

In malice Edo people throway the baby with the water, and voted in a thug and a confirmed thief, now they are reaping the whirlwind. They should calmly enjoy it while it lasts.

Another white elephant project to siphon the state treasury.

Osun people money going down the drain.

A huge digital project in a state with no stable electricity supply, how is it going to be sustained.

AllKnowing:
Dating a white girl is the same as dating a black Nigerian girl. Women are typically the same irrespective of skin color.

So… Nothing special here.

Tell that to the birds.

White girls do not possess the black girls' entitlement syndrome. You know the usual "urgent 2k" attitude.

Amaggedon:
Afonja was a notable Yoruba from present day Kwara state , how is calling someone afonja an insult. Just like calling Igbo man okoro . I don't understand what message you're trying to pass

Your people turned it to a tribal insultive term. So what message was your people trying to pass with that?

iwaeda:
Why is APC afraid of this guy?

Because he is an Igbo man masquerading as a Yoruba, with an evil agenda against a major Yoruba city.

We do not want him, we detest his type. He is affront to our dignity and respect as a Yoruba people.

He is an Igbo man with the Igbos disrespectful attributes, we are Yorubas, we are highly respectful to our elders.

The 48 Laws of Power authored by Robert Greene is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining or defending against ultimate control. It’s the bastard love child of How To Win Friends And Influence People, The Art of War and The Game – if that child was bred to survive Coral Island, then raised by wolves, then fostered by Machiavelli.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President Elect used many of the principles in the book on his ascension to the throne. I would have loved to dissect all 48 Laws contained in the book, but for the sake of brevity, I will choose a few :

Law 1. Never Outshine the Master

Despite the crucial role that Tinubu played in getting Buhari to Aso Rock, at no point did he attempt to upstage him. He often showed absolute loyalty, humility and respect even in the face of obvious disrespect. He always left trivial insults for the big picture.

Law 4. Always Say Less Than Necessary

For years, Dino Melaye, Bukola Saraki, Afenifere, Bode George have openly disrespected and insulted Tinubu. BAT might have been taught "Silence is the best answer for a fool" in primary school, but the man took it to extreme lengths. He NEVER responded. He only ensured political irrelevance of his foes.

Law 6. Court Attention at All Costs

For years, critics of Tinubu who were envious of his prominent role in uprooting PDP from Aso Rock, spent years mourning the loss and insulting the man. What they didn't know was that the insults made him a constant on the lips of everyone. I have very reliable sources in Aso Rock who said Tinubu intentionally made gaffes like "gazelle garagara" and "bala blu blu bala" to keep his name in the news while distracting his opponents from the big picture. It was ALL misdirection.

Law 7. Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit

Tinubu through a middle man instigated Peter Obi into running for Presidency. Obi went to Atiku to beg for a chance to be running mate and was coldly rejected. Atiku told him pointblank that he didn't associate with failures. While Obi was in a sad state (said to be crying), the middle man approached him and said some big men who wanted to remain anonymous will finance his candidacy as an independent candidate. Obi never knew he was being financed by Tinubu to run against him!!! Very reliable sources close to APC and the man himself confided in me.


Law 15. Crush Your Enemy Totally

The high number of votes Obi got was intended to psychologically break Atiku. Atiku will always think of what could have been if he teamed up with Obi. This will make him lose taste to run for Presidency again. If APC which already weakened by Buhari's poor performance could still beat PDP with such a wide margin... the defeat is psychological which is at times more traumatic and longer lasting than physical defeat.

Law 16. Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor

Tinubu intentionally refused any debates organized. By the time he appeared on Chatham House, BBC and the NESG... audiences hung on EVERY single word he uttered. This is why he had such a strong showing especially in the NESG. His absence generated a lot of interest when he finally took the stage.

Law 21. Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker – Appear Dumber Than Your Mark

While some of his rivals were busy fantasizing how to wrestle control of Lagos State from Tinubu's hands, they forgot elections were conducted in 36 states plus the FCT. He appeared like a fool but he knew allowing a win in Lagos will even increase the validity of the election results. When EFCC was storming his polling units, when military tanks were rolling into Lagos, his critics jubilated not knowing the true purpose of those tanks were to quell any post elections violence.


29. Plan All the Way to the End

Most mortals would rest easy if they had the "advantages" BAT had. "Oh, I am the ticket holder of the ruling party, I helped the President and his Vice to power, I can sleep assured" Bola Tinubu campaigned harder than his rivals. He campaigned like he was in a relatively small party like FRESH or Accord. He NEVER left anything to chance from Primaries to Presidency. Even to petitions at tribunals post election, I wouldn't explain that further.

42. Strike the Shepherd, and the Sheep Will Scatter

At a point when it seemed the Cabal wanted to install another candidate during the APC primaries, Tinubu fearlessly struck at the heart of the Cabal. Glory favours the bold, unlike Atiku who deleted a tweet condemning Deborah Samuel's death or Peter Obi who ran away from PDP primaries before it even started.... Tinubu boldly confronted the President, Vice President, Senate President and Party Chairman. Few weeks before elections, a cash shortage and fuel scarcity were caused to negatively affect Tinubu's chance. He very boldly confronted the Presidency till there was a Supreme Court stalemate.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu's political genius should be studied in Universities.

I saw an interview of the Labour gubernatorial candidate for Lagos yesterday as I was impressed by his leadership ideas. Dude is an alumnus of MIT so you can imagine his level of exposure and intelligence

Your Chinedu dude is an Igbo stooge in Yoruba land, so we totally denounce and reject him, and throw him into the dustbin of political relevance in Nigeria.

MaxInDHouse:
Quote your Bible not what pastors infused in your head!

Unfortunately many of my pastors do not even know what I have read in books or seen in visions about hell.

And if I quote Bible verses, or introduce books to you corroborating my assertions, that will not change your well established JW mindset. So I will not waste my time doing so.
