In life, everyone deserves a second chance. Even God gives us second chance.

Thats the sweet sermon white people are rolling out to placate you into submission under the regime of evil.

Why dont they give second chance to murderers in their country and set them free?

I came across this pic on twitter

Can nigeria problem be as strenuous as arranging this groundnut

I think whoever arrange this can do better that our past and present leaders

What do you guy what do you think

See picture.......

I call this the "arrangement". We dont want it to collapse or loose its aesthetic and symmetry. Its beautiful to the eyes.

This picture should serve as model even for the way we build up cities and urban structures. If we had this kind of orderliness drivers will know that going in opposite direction to traffic is disruptive to the social "arrangement".

Throwing waste on streets and littering environment is disruptive and could collapse the "arrangement".

Erecting buildings out of architectural style disrupts symmetry and can des t roy the "arrangement".

Noise and chaos of napep and okada is destructive to the spirit and corrupts the "arrangement".

This picture says a lot!

Souqwaqif:
I Want The Best For Her But She Seems Not To Understand, Pls Advice Needed

Dear All, good evening.

When I first met my woman, I met her decently dressed, since she is from a Christian background, likewise my very self.

But as time goes on I discovered she puts on dresses that are either too tight or too short. I have corrected her in love several times and even reported to her parents, she adjusted for a while and continued again.

She even promised to stop such dresses because of our baby girl.

This time around she put on a very short gown that makes her look like a prostitute on her WhatsApp profile.

On seeing it, I replied that I am ashamed and disappointed in her and as a result I refuse giving her the money she demanded.

She knows why I was angry and why i made such comment and instead of her to apologize she told her mother that I said I was ashamed and disappointed in her, her mother called me to ask me why I said such, I explained to her that its because I have been correcting her on her dressing but this one was too bad, she said OK and that's all.

Its over 5 days now I have not heard any thing from her and her mum. So I just kept silent too because the last that happened I was the one that called for a meeting with her parents to sort it out.

This time around I may not do such again.

However, if there is a better way you can advise me on this I will appreciate. Since her dad may not be in the know.

Thanks

Some of you guys marry before you are truly ready to be a husband.

Your wife belongs to you in life and in death, in wellness and in sickness. She is to obey you and follow your ways. She will like what you like and whatever you don't like she will not like it.

Your in-laws are not there to play the role of husband over your wife. Why are you reporting her to them over such minor thing as style of dressing? Whats wrong with you? You belittled your manhood in front of your in-law.

If your wife rebels against you take away her liberties. If she fails to correct, she is not good for you, separate yourself from her. You are a man, your dick does not have her name stamped on it, give it to the woman that bow humbly and follow your lead. Be a man!

Every state Bola Tinubu has allied with for progress has recorded surge in IGR growth simply by reordering their bureaucracy to scale with Lagos. I expect same for Kwara. Im happy for Kwara people and we expect to soon see your state topping IGR charts and rolling out new developments. Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line will have a next phase, Ibadan- Ilorin Rail Line!

Congrats Kwara!

festacman:
Thus is not the best of times for Dr. Bukola Saraki, the current Senate President and former governor of Kwara State. His political empire just collapsed under the Otoge populist uprising.

Dr. Bukola Saraki has a privileged background and got educated in a country where politics and governance are about policies that would positively shape the society. However, the reasons why his background and education did not positively influence his actions during his eight years as 'direct' governor of Kwara State and another eight years as 'indirect governor' is still a mystery and a matter for sociology scholars to study.

In politics, Dr. Bukola Saraki's undoings have been his innate scheming tendencies and his love for money.

In fairness, nobody should blame him so much because he did not work his way up the political ladder. He was introduced onto the stage as a green horn by his people-oriented father Dr. Olusola Saraki. Unfortunately, his innate scheming tendencies led him to rebel unnecessarily against his father instead of learning from him. He disconnected too early. So, the only way to hold people together was to use money, divide and rule tactics, thuggery and other means of manipulation. Unlike his father, he has no real relationship with the people from the grassroots to the elites.

He ambitiously displaced his father from the political structure he invested his resources, youthfulness, and sweat to build over the years. He took away the goodwill he garnered. He took away his pride. He 'stripped him naked' before the very people that idolized him over the years. He destroyed him psychologically. It is unlikely he died a happy man. The truth is you can't rebel against your father and still have the spiritual capacity to carry on with his legacies. It was matter of time.

As what goes round comes round, he has now come to that same low and hollow period, which he schemed his father into. He should use this low point an an excellent opportunity to soul-search, restrategize and rebuild. After all he is still young with bright political future.

First, he needs to make peace with his father by swallowing his pride to reach out to his sibblings, bring them together as one family as his late father would have loved to leave behind. Then create a Olusola Saraki Foundation and other programs in memory of his father.

Second, he needs to humbly apologise to Kwarans for his failures and then use the Olusola Saraki Foundation to reconnect with Kwarans and rebuild his relationship with them through free social works, financial empowerment and capacity building programs.

I am not Bukola Saraki's fan but I know he will bounce back.

What's the reason you want Saraki to bounce back?

You want to recycle a bad element into leadership in Kwara. Do you love Saraki more than you love the people of Kwara?

Why do Igbos cry out about lack of development and neglect in SE? Are you blind to see how other regions are flogging their poor performers out of office?

May 29th is no longer Democracy Day, it is moved to June 12th with a Presidential Declaration last year. It takes effect beginning 2019.

Inauguration has traditionally been done on Democracy Day. Unless stated otherwise by the Presidency, expect inauguration to take p lace June 12 this year and going forward.

We have always wondered why Buhari was liberal in political scenarios that demanded brutal response. Go to US and ask those who stood in the way of Trump from getting his ways as the Executive and Commander in Chief....they are all history, disgraced out of public service. Kudos to Buhari for this new acknowledgement. I love it!

There is nothing in democracy that restrains the Executive President from annihilating his political opponents, whether domestic or foreign, as an expeditious sacrifice to Sovereign integrity.

There are two classes of PDP support base.

1 - Those who looked forward to Atiku win but after seeing result of the election and Buhari victory, have accepted the outcome and closed ranks to move forward to Next Level. This class of support base is found in SW, SS, NC, NW, NE.

2- Those who looked forward to paying Yoruba back for GEJ loss in 2015 and wished Buhari to perish with the 2019 electoral exercise. After failing to defeat Yoruba or sack Buhari to Daura, the venom in their mind has started to corrode and eat away their spirit.

papiforreal:
Based on the highlight of reports coming in from unofficial INEC Online Electoral Officers, Atiku may need to retry in 2023 if he’s still interested to be in Aso Rock.

You look at Atiku and you pray that God doesn’t test you with love of power.

...this means he will defect back to APC or start afresh with n-PDP version II.

sremmlyf:
you are not wise
APC fielding their president slot to SW
PDP fielding to either kwankwaso or Tambuwal
Now think again

I don't think the Northerners would voluntarily tamper with the PDP North/South rotation. Did you not notice the class and caliber of new entrants into Nigerian politics? Technocrats and eggheads are now competing and will in future elections stamp out the tradition of exGenerals and born to rule candidates, of which the two you mentioned belong. In a non-federal character and non-rotational allotment, the Northerner lacks political sagacity to outwit Yoruba. They have been blessed so far by the power of military institutions and the conditional rotation, a work-around for merit-based!

Donmedra:
Kwara
Nassarawa
Ekiti
Ondo
Osun ..

These are the state results announced so far,4 is APC stronghold. PDP won 1

That one cancel nassarawa and osun margin.

Remaining kwara and Ekiti.. just wait and see

I can't hear you, please repeat your statement...

I'm disappointed...after all the accolades and cheering for Saraki as the most astute politician in Nigeria, the best political strategist Nigeria ever had, the slayer of Tinubu...and it all came to words of consolation for the "slayer", this is very disappointing. I expected to see more accolades and cheers going to Saraki by now. What happened to his strategies...?

Reno the consoler, get ready for a bigger consolation to Atiku.

Only a fool takes Chris Smith serious. He was paid by Atiku when they met recently in US. Chris Smith is one of those hoping to benefit from NNPC sale.

NothingDoMe:
Clear how? Results are being collated of which you are not even there.

Meanwhile, the SE is not so much interested in the presidency as they are in good governance and APC does not have the powers to maintain rotational presidency. That was a PDP thing that existed before 2015.

The Cabals are already set to further cage Osinbajo because Tinubu revealed his hand too early. They only needed him for this election. They are done with him.

We are already positioned ahead- 2023, Yoruba Presidential candidates from APC and PDP. Leave 2019 alone, Buhari already secured a win.

The DG of Atiku Abubakar Election Campaign, Senate President Bukola Saraki looses his district and State by a wide margin to the opposition. The SW zone Atiku Abubakar Campaign Director and Coordinator, Ex Governor Fayose also lost his voting district and State.

We must admit that the numbers going to PDP's Atiku Abubakar nationwide are not attributable to any of his campaign slogans "Make Nigeria Work Again" or policy document released in Dubai, but instead the result of disappointment with Buhari"s performance. Atiku's campaign did not hit the chord with the electorate. Those who voted for him would still give him their votes even if he did not campaign at all because they were furious at his opponent, Buhari.

If Atiku had approached the election with a grassroot campaign and focused on Nigerian landscape and vigorously appealed to the local level he would have won over to his side a considerable number of voters nationwide, particularly in swing states, but he preferred instead to orient his campaign in an appeal to foreign media and international influencers to accept him as a better candidate to their free-market bottomline. He spent millions on Dubai trips and meetings and employed a school of consultants to put together for him a policy paper that went over the head of local market traders and investors to address concerns of foreigners and their greed for privatization of our national assets.

The Nigerian democracy in its form remain consistent with the principles of democracy anywhere else in the world that practices democracy of majority. In substance and in practice however, ethno-cracy at local level politics remain the most potent vehicle for driving an electoral victory. Those who fail to submit to politics at local level, however much endorsement they get in foreign lands will always come out loosers in their bid to rule.

It is already clear, even to the visually challenged, that PDP has lost 2019 election. This was the North round for PDP, which means in 2023 the party Presidential must rotate to South. In 2019 PDP Chairman was Ibo, from SS, its VP was Ibo from SE. PDP cannot and will not field Ibo for Presidency in 2023 if it wants to win.

APC promised to pass Presidency to Ibo in 2023 if it gets support and wins SE zone in 2019. We see now in this election that APC is getting even less than 5% in SE. So APC returns Presidency to SW in 2023. PDP will want to counter that and dilute the APC influence in SW by fielding a Yoruba for 2023.

So either way you look at it, either from the APC angle or the PDP corner, the Yoruba and the SW is the biggest winner in the 2019 election victory for APC....a Yoruba must emerge President in 2023.

The PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Prince Uche Secondus, said Atiku would unite the country.

Secondus said, “Atiku remains the man that will defeat the APC, the man they are afraid of.

“The man who just came from America, he has gone and spoken to the civilised world. He has addressed the international community that as soon as he is sworn in businesses will begin to grow.”

2 - the next is to get international endorsements by positioning himself as agent of free-market and privatization.

CityNGR:
Let buhari respond!

He will but I doubt Obasanjo will wait to hear the response.

We analyzed the latest letter from Ex-President Obasanjo.

Baba Obasanjo said many things in this letter that are deliberately concealed to dupe the ordinary citizen and hide the motive behind the letter. The new letter from Ex-President Obasanjo should be received as a grand plot by agents of corruption to use media to rig the forthcoming elections.

We will break it down for you...

Election is a process for the people to renegotiate their contract with the government. Every politician intending to serve in government must first enter into a contract with the people, whether that politician is incumbent or not. To do so a politician can present himself independently or via the platform of a party or political organization. In our country, Nigeria, independent representation is not an approved channel for soliciting a contract with the people, every politician is expected to be on an approved party platform.

Ballot is a register of the approved parties that have offers of a four year contract. A politician is never presented on a ballot.

Voting is an exercise by which the people express and select the contract that meets their needs. It is a declaration.

An election cannot be rigged. You cannot change four years to three or five years, for instance. Ballot and votes can be rigged! It is the outcome of an election that can be rigged.


Ballot papers can be substituted with false declarations, thereby changing their qualifications. Likewise the number of votes declared for a party can be shrunk or swollen, thereby changing their quantification.


So there are many ways or holes or gaps through which election outcomes can be manipulated to rob people of their contractual declarations. To plug these holes we have a regulating body like INEC. In recent years there is a new trend used to exploit outcomes at the points where vote declarations are counted. This method of rigging has a chain link and that's what we believe Atiku and Obasanjo are banking on to use to hijack the election outcome. This is what we shall talk about here.



1 - the first stage is to recruit media and PR

2 - the next is to get international endorsements by positioning himself as agent of free-market and privatization.
http://www.viatrends.com.ng/2019/01/atiku-abubakar-revealed-reason-us-is.html

3 - then raise alarm and label ruling govt as anti democratic and a dictator that send people to gulag for torture. Position them as a threat to their own citizens and raise reasons why they must be removed.

Obasanjo's letter affirm the reason why Atiku has not been seen campaigning, and also why he declined to debate because Buhari did not show. There is no reason to campaign, there is no reason to sell their agenda to Nigerians, that's not their path to success....they are plotting to use the pointers in Obasanjo's letter to upstage the government and topple it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Foremost, the letter was written before Atiku left for US and Obasanjo already knew Buhari will not attend the debate that was to hold on 19th. Atiku returned on 19th and went to debate and then walked out. Obasanjo released letter on 20th. Do you see the connection? I will explain it if you did not.

They heard Buhari will not attend, they knew Buhari will not attend...even Saraki issued press statement weeks earlier and said he knew Buhari will not attend, yet he escorted Atiku to debate to face Buhari. The reason Atiku is there is because his strategists and PR team in US believed Buhari will show up. They saw the Town Hall appearance by Buhari as a ploy to throw Atiku off-guard so he will show up at debate relaxed and unarmed so Buhari could spring a surprise on him. So instead of a relaxed Atiku, he was coached and beefed up with attack strategies and missiles to use to smear Buhari as a dangerous person and a misfit in power. Atiku arrived debate center over confident and pumped up with ego to go slay Buhari. He wasn't there to debate politics....he was there to attack the personality and throw false charges at Buhari on live TV and in front of the world. Atiku did not cometo debate, hence there was no reason to stay when Buhari did not show.


Obasanjo letter was written before Atiku US trip. The contents in his letter is a collaboration between Atiku's Nigeria Team and his PR machineries in US. Debate was 19th, which they believed Buhari will attend and get disgraced. On 20th letter will be released to media to buttress points that Atiku already aired in debate the night before.


So if election is about contract negotiation with the people, why is Atiku neglecting to negotiate with the grassroots? Because they intend to use the power of paid media (if you visit the link in 2 above you will see the last bullet point in their presentation is paid media. That site is the PR team receiving $90,000/month from Atiku to help him win) to rig outcome of election. It's set!

Have you ever heard the term "Election Prediction"? Sometimes it is also called "Election Projection".

Read about it here.... https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-election-projection.htm.


Atiku and his handlers plan to use NGOs and "paid media" to project result of election in favor of Atiku and then feed their false results to foreign media and news outlets and thus discredit whatever fair and credible result INEC announces. Obasanjo has laid the ground that INEC is not to be trusted...therefore any result they release will be suspect. Only paid media's results will hold as credible victory in Atiku's favor.


How will they circumvent INEC? By setting up a parallel "inec".


This letter is coordinated and an Atiku and Obasanjo partnership to rig and destroy our democracy.

Babacele:
no words can be truer! We have been left with no choice but the two septuagenarians ,despite the pretences to participation by the other candidates . One represents the slave masters who have always held this nation down, while the weary other -eternally the slave masters' nightmare- has always been beckoned to rescue the slaves and the nation.

We need a paradigm shift from this abnormal norm when we might have successfully delivered the madam Naija of her present pregnancy by FeBuhari16.

Obasanjo wrote similar letter in 2014 where he pontificated that Jonathan hired trained snipers who will assassinate opponents and they had planted militants to stage riots in major cities of Nigeria and disrupt elections. Obasanjo is using FEAR TACTICS to manipulate electorates.

Excaperx:
shut up.

Atiku already has his plan and he has shown Nigeria, Nigerians are free to criticise and check the areas they don't like.

The debate was for buhari to show up and mention what he had done for past 4 years.

Those 3 other candidates are just buhari puppet, we know better.

Or don't know know the owner of channels is hard core buhari supporter?

Atiku did the right thing

Yes sir!
