Go and vote your cocaine sniffer.

I thought you had PVC Omo al*e

The Obi you are hyperventilating on does not even know you exists, and he is busy now flexing in his Agulu village.

So go and vote and stop the cyber war.

PotatoSalad:
Idiots like you think that anyone who supports Obi is automatically igbo.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Do you see me mentioning Igbo in my rejoinder? Or are the Igbos the only one fostering regional agenda?

Something is biting your insultive conscience.

And moreso being insultive in an argument shows how unintelligent you are. Learn manner, be rational when commenting on an issue. Know also that politics is not a do or die affair.

The person you are hyperventilating on do not even know you are existing.

Now, let me go back to my question which you are yet to answer: if Asiwaju wins today, what would you do?

PotatoSalad:
What would you do when Obi wins?
Na same question dey go through my mind whenever I see your trash comments here

What would you too do when Asiwaju becomes the winner today?

Will you thereafter exit Nairaland, or go back to foster regional agenda?

Tinubu Rents Fake bishops: P-Square’s Peter, activists, others knock APC

At the official presentation of former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as the running mate of the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, journalists watched in amusement as persons dressed as pastors and bishops showed up at the venue.

Their presence seemed to cause a stir as onlookers and guests stared hard at them as they walked into the reception of the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, dressed in their cassocks and habits, amid heavy security at the venue.

Nigerians have reacted to this as knocks have greeted the APC and its flagbearer, Tinubu, on social media.

Popular #EndSARS activist, Rinu Oduala, joined others in reaction on Twitter via her handle, @SavvyRinu, saying, “The APC is fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket but went to rent fake bishops. What sort of ridicule is this? What message do they think this will send?”

Another tweep, @ejykmykel1, said, “Dear @OfficialAPCNg, We have only four female bishops in Nigeria: Bishop Oluremi, Ayotunde Obembe, Bishop Bola Odeleke, Bishop Peace Okonkwo, Archbishop Margaret Idahosa.

The tweep went further to ask the APC to publish the name of the female bishop seen in one of the pictures. “Can you help to publish the name of the female bishop at your occasion today? Nigerians are curious,” the tweep posted.


@TheoAbuAgada tweeted, “APC rented bishops at the unveiling of their vice-presidential candidate, Mallam Kashim Shettima. They are so desperate for validation.”

Popular social activist, Aisha Yesufu, also joined the trend, via @AishaYesufu, she posted, “Why do you think fake bishops need to be used at the unveiling of Shettima? That is waste of time. There are many that will be honoured to be invited. Most religious rulers need bad governance to sell cheap miracles whether pastors or Mallams. Know this and have peace.”

Popular Nigerian music artiste, Peter Okoye, tweeted in a funny way via @PeterPsquare, saying, “Fake bishops and even fake Peter Okoye! Naija!”

“I thought it was only fake Peter Okoye that is trending… They even created fake bishops today! God why?” He reacted in another tweet.

Another tweep, @Real_AmakaIke, posted, “Bishop spotted in the APC show of shame with Muslim prayer’s mat No be juju be that?”

@simeonegbeobasi, said, “Unknown bishops: If the Christian votes are not important to Tinubu and the APC, why this shameful make-believe desperation to win us over. Honestly, these are symptoms of a man that can kill a race for power.”

Fake news.

Saturday will determine your candidate's fate.

Wait till then.

Who is this one deceiving?

The era of your fake polls will end on Saturday.

Akinsete19:
From Finland to Kirikiri

With good lawyer, he will be freed soon.

However his evil acts will follow him till death.

Kobicove:
You need to be ready to spend money if you are contesting for an election in Nigeria...that is the reality!

These people saying they don't give shishi are just deceiving themselves

Not in Nigeria alone, but all over the world. Politics is run with big cash for logistic purposes. No cash, no politicking.

Sunday is political reality day for Obi. There is going to be premium tears for Obi supporters on Nairaland on that day. Get ready to share your hankies to them, they will certainly need them.

After that we will have our peace of mind again, free from brutal tribal insults and virulent attacks on this platform.

07kjb:
I now know that that the yorubas are the most TRIBALISTIC tribe in NIGERIA

Hen en, we know no o. Thanks for telling us.

But on Saturday, remember to vote Tinubu. He is the best among the candidates.

Nigeria’s Next Leader’s Ties to a Heroin Ring

General Muhammed Buhari’s political partner is a former bagman for two heroin traffickers. But that’s just business as usual in Nigeria.

Nigeria’s election last month was celebrated as an unlikely victory for democracy in an African country with a tenuous record of free and fair representation. But the man most responsible for midwifing General Muhammed Buhari’s ballot triumph over current President Goodluck Jonathan has a spotty CV. Former Lagos provincial governor Bola Tinubu, affectionately nicknamed the Jagaban, is today seen as a shrewd if not “deeply Machiavellian” Svengali in Nigeria’s politics as well as the architect of a hugely successful anti-corruption platform. But 20 years ago he had to forfeit nearly half a million dollars to the U.S. Treasury Department after being named as an accomplice in a white heroin-trafficking and money-laundering ring that stretched from West Africa to the U.S. Midwest.

Although his case has been bandied about the Nigerian press for years, Tinubu’s involvement in a federal drug and racketeering investigation waged jointly by the DEA, FBI, and IRS has gone unreported elsewhere, even after his ascendance to Karl Rove-like status last month. A recent gauzy Financial Times profile of him, for instance, neglected to mention that two decades ago Tinubu was identified as a bagman for two Nigerian heroin movers who operated out of Chicago and Hammond, Indiana. They were Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, Akande’s nephew, who was exposed to law enforcement after selling white heroin first to Lee Andrew Edwards, another dealer later jailed for trying to murder a federal agent, and then to an undercover cop.

In a 1993 court docket from the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois, which The Daily Beast obtained from Sahara Reporters, a Nigeria-focused news outlet, IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss said that Akande had run the white heroin ring in the late 1980s until 1990, when he handed off the U.S arm of the business to his nephew, who had arrived in 1988. Akande then returned to Nigeria but continued to oversee the operation from abroad with the help of others at home and in the United States, including his relatives. One of the individuals identified in his cartel by Moss was Tinubu, then a Chicago State University-educated accountant working as a treasurer for Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd, a subsidiary of energy giant Mobil Oil, which was still a few years shy of its famous merger with Exxon in 1999.

In the biography section of his official website, Tinubu is described as having emigrated to the United States in 1975 “in search of the proverbial Golden Fleece with a heart brimming with unrelenting determination to achieve his visions.” This is certainly one way to describe his tenure stateside.

In 1989, Moss said in an affidavit, Tinubu established an individual money market account, into which he deposited $1,000 in traveler’s checks, and a negotiable order of withdrawal account (NOW) at First Heritage Bank in Country Club Hills, Illinois. The address Tinubu gave the bank was the same as the listed headquarters of Globe-Link International, the front company owned by Akande and his relatives.




“There’s a trend of various Nigerian politicians at the highest levels involved in dodgy business deals around the world, in property and cash.”

Bank employees told Moss that Akande had personally introduced them to Tinubu in December 1989 when who also opened a joint checking account with his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, who already kept a joint account with Akande’s wife at First Heritage. Five days after the NOW account was opened, $80,000 was wired into it from a bank in Houston maintained by one of Akande’s relatives. Tinubu would later use the NOW account to buy a $10,000 Certificate of Deposit for an $8,000 car loan, listing Akande as his cousin on the application.

At the time, Tinubu’s take home as a Mobil Oil Nigeria executive was a mere $2,400 a month and he claimed not to have any other revenue streams. Yet he still managed to deposit $661,000 into his individual money market account in 1990 and then another $1,216,500 a year later. He also opened more accounts with Citibank in its worldwide personal banking unit, transferring over half a million dollars from his First Heritage money market account into one of them in early 1991.

Mobil Oil Nigeria told Moss that Tinubu’s role at the company never involved transferring large sums of money between banks and that it didn’t keep deposits in any institutions in the south suburbs of Chicago, where First Heritage was based. Moreover, although Tinubu moved back to Nigeria in 1983, he neglected to file U.S. income tax returns after 1984 despite having sizable, interest-generating deposits in American banks. All of this was enough to persuade a magistrate judge of the Northern District to issue seizure warrants for Tinubu’s First Heritage and Citibank accounts. Collectively, more than $1.4 million belonging to the Nigerian was confiscated.





Tinubu gave differing accounts for his wealth to Moss. In one phone call from Nigeria, shortly after the U.S. Treasury seized his money, he admitted to wiring $100,000 to Akande’s Houston bank account and to receiving the $80,000 from Akande into his First Heritage account. Tinubu also said that apart from one other account in Fairfax, Virginia, he had no other money stashed in U.S. banks.

Except that there were other accounts. Citibank has a worldwide banking division known as Citibank International where Tinubu stashed an additional $550,000. He also controlled an entity called Compass Finance and Investments Company Ltd., of which Akande and Agbele were directors. Still another nexus of money transfers was uncovered by federal investigators, with cash moving from First Heritage to Citibank to Citibank International, where it wound up in Tinubu’s personal accounts and in those belonging to Compass Finance and Investments. In a follow-up exchange with law enforcement officers, Tinubu changed his story. Just days after conceding that he’d sent and received money to and from Akande, he insisted that he had no financial or business dealings with Akande or Agbele.

There’s no evidence that Tinubu was ever indicted for any crime. He eventually settled with the district court, turning over $460,000 of the seized $1.4 million, with the remainder released back to him. The Beast tried repeatedly to contact Marsha McClellan, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, but was unsuccessful.

“I’m not surprised at all,” said Virginia Comolli, a specialist on Nigeria and author of Boko Haram: Nigeria’s Islamist Insurgency. “There’s a trend of various Nigerian politicians at the highest levels involved in dodgy business deals around the world, in property and cash. Even ones who seem fairly clean turn out to have some dark histories.” The perfect case in point is Tinubu’s political project and new president-elect of Nigeria, General Muhammed Buhari, who in 1983 helped overthrow a democratically elected government in a military coup d’etat on the grounds that the government was undisciplined and corrupt. “He resorted to brutal methods, beating up people for not queuing properly and imposing limitations on the media,” Comolli said. “I think a lot of the votes Buhari got were anti-Jonathan rather than pro-Buhari.”

But no doubt, many also came from a savvy fusion of political factions. In February 2013, Tinubu successfully merged his own influential Action Congress party with Buhari’s Congress for Progressive Change, resulting in the All Progressives Congress. The marriage united Nigeria’s most populous northwest and southwest regions and the ensuing campaign was billed by Tinubu as a “commonsense revolution” against a corrupt and venal incumbency which, in its five years in power, had seen the terrorist group and newly-minted ISIS affiliate Boko Haram thrive. Buhari swept the election with 2.7 million more votes than Jonathan.

Even before that trouncing, however, Tinubu had a relatively positive reputation in Nigeria, according to former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell. “He is widely regarded as having been a highly successful governor of Lagos state,” he said. “Together with Tinubu’s handpicked successor, Babatunde Fashola, Lagos has seen dramatic improvements in everything from practical stuff like garbage collection to the collection of taxes and the provision of public services,” Campbell told The Beast. Though even here, the ex-diplomat admits, Tinubu’s good governance has been clouded by controversy. “He established a company to do the tax collecting in return for a cut and, at one point, Tinubu and Fashola appeared to be splitting over the percentage of Tinubu’s cut.”

Drug charges do indeed appear to be the sine qua non for Nigerian high office. The year 1993, when Tinubu’s assets were seized, was a turbulent period for Nigeria following the cancellation of a national election and the establishment of a military dictatorship. Moshood Abiola, the rightful winner of that election, was accused of narcotics trafficking. So too is “Prince” Buruji Kashamu from the People’s Democratic Party, who has faced extradition back to the United States since 1998. Kashamu was indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago for being the elusive “Alaji,” a globetrotting drug kingpin who smuggled heroin into O’Hare International Airport from Europe and Asia. Piper Kerman, the memoirist who inspired the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, famously worked for Alaji. Kashamu denies the charges and insists that he was purportedly a counterterrorism informant to the U.S. government before and after 9/11, and that the real trafficker was his now-deceased brother.

Despite his party’s general loss to the All Progressives Congress, Kashumu was elected in March as senator of the southwest Ogun state. In what appeared to be a magnanimous gesture to the winner, he took out an advertisement praising Tinubu as a role model. The Jagaban was distinctly unimpressed. He trashed the comparison in a statement signed by his media adviser, claiming that for Kashamu “to liken himself to Bola Tinubu is for a small rut to call itself a mountain.” Tinubu instructed the “false praise singer” to go face the music in the Windy City before deigning to talk to him.

So what?

Is your Obi crystal clean too. What about Pandora off shore account scandal.

Florblu:
Opposition party is that you??

No auntie, na your Biafra brothers dey flex muscles.

press9jatv:
😂😂😂 Tinubu ma lule piii Lekan siii. Osun State where he hailed from will serve him first breakfast in Yoruba Land before other Yoruba states serve him more breakfast. Tinubu is a goner.

Enjoy your sweet dream until Sunday morning, when stark reality shall smack you gbam on the face. And you will wake up to see your ultimate nightmare sitting on the regal throne of Nigeria for the next four years.

O, what shall you do then? Will you run away like many, or be forced to to wear the inverted 8 logo of your nightmare with joy? Or go back to shouting: "On Biafla we stand"

O, what shall you do after Sunday, my Bra, what shall you do?

DKM123:
The joy and happiness in Obi's crowd cannot be compared with the forced camaraderie in Thiieeefnubu's crowd.

Imagine if it was Obi dancing and waving at his supporters, the way the crowd usually go gaga ehn.

The Obi's will certainly go more than gaga when the results start tumbling in on Sunday morning, and see that they have been labouring in vain.

O, what a day that will be when Nairaland itself will enjoy its peace of mind.

The Igbos are not even collecting their PVCs, while their unknown gunmen is dumping the same PVCs, stolen from INEC offices, inside bushes. And they are expecting their candidate to win?

If their candidate cannot even gather large votes in their region, then by what miracle is he going to win across other regions?

The Igbos just enjoy living in a world of delusion. Saturday will bring them to the stark reality of big electoral loss for their candidate. Then they will start venting their frustration online against other tribes, crying about how much they hate them. Never willing to admit that politicking is different from electoral propaganda.

PointZerom:
Igbos are prepared for the worst of Nigeria than any region.
Ordinary naira redesign The yorubas and the northerners are rioting and destroying Banks.

That shows the Yorubas are lionhearted than the other regions. We don't take nonsense from any government. It is the other regions that are holding us back, our aim and ambition are far far greater than Nigeria can contain.

Digitron:
The largest concentration of Obident in Oyo State is in Ogbomosho.

Look, Akin Oshotokun who is the DG is a core strategist and holds the traditional title of Balogun of Yoruba land. He has vast experience in the political and socio architecture of South West and is poised to deliver the region to Labour Party.

Calm down, ariwo ko ni music oooo,

No one knows Akin Oshuntokun in Yorubaland, he is a lone ranger.

AOB1:
If you guys think the northern elders and Governors will abandon their son when all the southern Governors have now come together to form a team against a northern candidate then you must be joking, if Wike can be working for Tinubu what makes you think some APC Governors are not working for Atiku. My southern people this is politics and I have already saw what the north were planning since the PDP presidential campaigning in Katsina, Apart from Buhari Atiku is the most popular politician in the north, what the cabals are doing is the directive from the northern elders and it's just a tip of an iceberg. I will come back and remind you guys of this comment after the election, take it or leave it the north will never leave their son in favour of southern candidate.

Mr. Conspiracy Theorist there has been many times when the north abandoned their son in favour of southern candidates.

During MKO Abiola time against whatizname they did it.

During Obasanjo second term against Buhari they did so.

During Jonathan's first term against Buhari they did so.

And now during Tinubu against Atiku on Saturday, they will do so.

PeterObi4LP:
All the Northern Youths are MAD. They are one of the problem of this country. Inec cannot not postpone the election 4days to go.

Your region and youths are not the only people feeling the naira and fuel scarcity. Any postponement will not be acceptable by Nigerians

Are the northern youths feeling the fuel scarcity and cash crunch? I doubt it because there has not been any protest from any of their big cities?

So this is just a plot to truncate the presidential election, and it won't work by God's grace.

TAYO124:
While the continent of Africa is enjoying the absence of earthquakes, this enjoyment will not be for long, when it strikes here, it will be of cataclysmic proportions as hardly any buildings are built to withstand quakes so thet will be greatly compromised.

Are you praying for this?

However large part of Africa are out of the range of the earthquake fault lines (which stretched mainly along the Asian continental plates), and will remain so for a long time.

Opemipo011:
In as much as everyone is feeling the impact of the naira scarcity, violence is not the way out.. burning banks and other facilities is not right.
They are only doing themselves in that state, cos the impact will bounce back at them.. by the time the naira is now surplus.. how will they access it when they've destroyed the few banks in their community.

Though I am not supporting misplaced violence, but nevertheless the banks and the power supply properties destroyed will be rebuilt ASAP.

Sagamu is a highly developed city with powerful people, and big industries, and not a local village which can be ignored. Latest one week, everything will be back to normal.

KnowledgePower7:
You see how they burnt that guy that was enforcing sit at home?
We will burn any bastard that works for Simon ekpa. We will Tie them up and roast them like corn

How many UGM you Igbos have tied or maimed since they started terrorising you? It was the Nigerian Army and Police that were doing that for you all.

Instead of resisting, all of you are cowering and hiding under your roofs. You only know how to boast and make mouth online, when it comes to the real action, you all become COWARDS.

mmadu4:
if you are reading this and you don't vote for the winning team. PETER OBI . you will suffer until you die a horrible death . your family members will go mad and roam the streets of Nigeria. it shall never be well with you and your generation .

Back to sender in JESUS Mighty Name, Amen.

Two wired things will happen this year. Peter Obi will be the next president of Nigeria and Arsenal to win the premier league. Whether you agree or not, it's going to happen.

Remove Peter Obi please.

Arsenal have better chance to nail the EPL than PO has to nail Anambra alone.

The enemy on my Bed

And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.Judges 14:18b


They plowed with the heifer,

A stranger of a day,

assigned from the pit,

to bring a Samson down.

She feigned false affiance,

with a mission so deliberate,

trans-versing vast territories,

to cage a man by Lust.

the disguise of a demon,

derailed a man on mission,

suspending the vision.

The bargain was too costly,

her comrade the philistines,

pretentious while purloining,

hides in ambuscades,

dictating schemes to kill.

The captives now entrapped,

They kept their walled territories,

inflamed the loose Cyprian,

for fleshy lust and greed.

Are you the man on a mission?

Oh! be not complacent.

The flappers surrounds you still.

Keep this emblem on your chest,

Delilah is not a friend.

He didn't mention Obidients here.


The Obidients have dealt with him, and he left them alone and found criers..

Why would he continue to deal with fighters whereas there are criers to engage?

As usual, you are making no sense.

Only Indulging in your normal addiction, which is poll baiting.

Carry on good soldier, more bullets to your handguns!

But learn to dodge too, some of your enemies bullets may have your name on it.

But here do I say goodbye, may you return safe after February 25 (that is if there going to be any February 25).

The Agbadorians and the Mikanos were busy praising this same Seun Kuti to the High Heavens,, Oya naa..
Come and contiunuu the praises..

He has dropped a mighty mega-Bomb...



We laugh at you guys for now.

It's The Same Seun Kuti.
The Obidients Still Don't Like Him.

BUT WE DON’T HATE HIM EITHER..

Seun Kuti doesn't like Obi and his obidients too. He has thrown them to the dust bins earlier before throwing these other two thieves.

So there is nothing for you to gloat about.

#Let's divide this wretched nation.

Win-Win for Buhari

In what ways is it a win-win for Buhari?
