Tinubu's emergence has introduced a new word to our political lexicon - President-select

It has also introduced a new entitlement....that of third position claiming first position.

slam7000:



Your tail was cowardly tucked behind your legs when Iskilu Wakilu was terrorising your people. Those who summoned the courage to burn his property were arrested till Oyo state government and Gani Adams pleaded. You are cowardly dissociated from them.

Iskilu Wakilu, Nnamdi Kanu, Frederick Nwajugu, and other like minded terrorists invading, or planning invasion of our land is exact argument we are dumping unity. So you are correct, we are cowards and we dont want a continued existence with savages from East or North

Peacecore:
Las las we ho later see say na Jagaban form da group

Anything Asiwaju leads is filled with intrigues. This Assembly will have dramas, counter dramas, counter-counter dramas, and dramas opposed to the counter-couter dramas....the theatrics will all be achieved using caucus and memberships.

[quote Isiguzoro said Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu should facilitate Nwajagu’s release in the interest of national unity and reconciliation. [/quote]

We dont want unity, and dont want reconciliation. Let him remain locked up.
This yeye unity should scatter so everybody go hin way

Only the wicked does not rest..

Even lower animals dey rest, how much more humans. If you have peace of mind and God blessings is following you, you’ll surely be having peace of mind to rest..

There’s a nervous system in human’s body called Parasympathetic nerve. It’s a passage that helps relax your body after stress. Also, whenever you finished eating and lay down, the nerve that helps your digestion at the point in time is Parasympathetic nerve!

But I understand his predicament. Anambra curse is one pathetic thing. Once it placed on you, you won’t have peace of mind not to talk of rest... So a bad omen like Lamba Nanu can’t ever have peace of mind to rest! It has been confirmed by Anambra people..

Draslo:

If we check your wife now, e go be another story.

She replied him exactly as she should. She initially replied him well even explaining that countries far superior are prioritizing diplomats and their families in very 'complex and rapid' operations. She even prayed that they would be home safely. The guy deflected her prayer. Na them go still dey attribute God to PO because their pastor said it. Spits!

This post is awesome

The result of election should determine power sharing at the center. There are eligible christians in NW and NC if the argument of religion for Senate President comes in. Deputy Senate should come from SW.

Speakership should go to SS, deputy Speaker should come from NE.

Zainab Buba Marwa, believed to be the daughter of Buba Marwa

So many things are wrong with this topic.

She is Mrs Zainab Buba Marwa, not Miss Zainab Buba Marwa.

She is "believed to be" is not same as "she is".

Moreover, names like Kyari, Marwa, Buba, Shettima, Monguno, are not necessarily uniquely related.

Comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has expressed anger at the ongoing ‘Yoruba for Yoruba jobs’ protest in Southwest states.

Candidreporters.com gathered that Tonia Somaga, a graduate from Anambra State and a Labour Party, LP, supporter who drives one of the Lagos State blue rails, was called out by some residents, urging the Lagos State government to sack her, following her campaign for Peter Obi.

Reacting to the development in a tweet on Thursday, Seyi Law noted that the female train driver is an opportunity to preach peace and show that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is different.

Sharing a picture of a man with a ‘Yoruba Jobs for Yoruba People’ poster, Seyi Law described the trend as absolute madness, insisting he didn’t support the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to see such a trend.

He wrote: “This is absolute madness. I did not support ASIWAJU to see these things. Are you saying even the companies owned by non-Yoruba should do the same, or just those owned by Yorubas? Either way, this is wrong, so let’s stop promoting rubbish in the name of anger.

“The train girl was an opportunity to preach peace and show we are different. I’m not belittling your anger, but we must learn to compromise for the collective peace we crave. You can respect your tribe without denigrating another. Please, let’s sheath our swords.

Comedians are court jesters.

We are talking about social progress for Yoruba youths, my comedy is narrating peace.

Will progress of Yoruba youths on their own soil lead to ear, abi does this jester even understand what the protest is about? How does peace become a talkpoint here?

Today some of those who opposed the all- comers approach of Asiwaju Tinubu leading a subnational government believe that he was the one who shrank the chances for the natives. They blame Asiwaju for giving 'too much' of Lagos oppprtunities to the Igbo and giving less part of the opportunities to them who suffered most. They are angry today that Asiwaju Tinubu sacrificed their yearnings and future for his future presidential ambition. Some of those disappointed Yoruba are tendencies behind clamour for Yoruba nation. They no longer trust Tinubu and Nigeria.

This is me.

LAGOS GUBER & PLIGHT OF IGBOS: Law Of Reciprocity Is The Solution

Background

For weeks leading to the elections till now, I notice a profound tension and apprehension from the majority section of Igbo who do not respect and appreciate the warm reception they enjoy in Lagos. Please note that a minority of Igbo in Lagos are not part of the unappreciative tendencies fuelling the hostility the Yoruba now have against the Igbo in Lagos.

Since 1999, Lagos state government from under Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (1999-2007) till date has been giving free education , free health and employment to our Igbo visitors in Lagos like the Yoruba natives since we are all Nigerians.

This is no longer sustainable without reciprocity before it is too late as real danger looms.

The issue will be fixed now. If Asiwaju Tinubu is blamed for creating the root cause of this socio-political problem then he should be part of those to fix it. Fix it as soon as possible before a 'native warrior' character in the mould of then young Gani Adams, who was barely able to communicate in English, rise up among the Yoruba youths and do it violently like we experienced in the 90s that forced Igbo to flee Lagos in fear and the Idi Araba Hausa/OPC wars . That will be bloody option hanging like sword of Damocles over our heads. Hence, I want us to use reciprocity to solve the problem.

I recall that some Lagos indigenes and notable Yoruba leaders including late Dr Fredrick Fasheun, founder of Odua Peoples Congress, OPC, protested then that the Yoruba who mostly suffered from the pre-1999 broken down Lagos ruined by bomb blasts, filth etc under poor management of successive military governments were not being prioritized in terms of rewards, economic opportunities and welfare needs but these leaders eventually yielded to Asiwaju's pleas that the benefits will go round and the Yoruba natives should exercise patience.

Today some of those who opposed the all- comers approach of Asiwaju Tinubu leading a subnational government believe that he was the one who shrank the chances for the natives. They blame Asiwaju for giving 'too much' of Lagos oppprtunities to the Igbo and giving less part of the opportunities to them who suffered most. They are angry today that Asiwaju Tinubu sacrificed their yearnings and future for his future presidential ambition. Some of those disappointed Yoruba are tendencies behind clamour for Yoruba nation. They no longer trust Tinubu and Nigeria.

Curiously, most of the Igbo who directly benefited from the free provisions made by Asiwaju Tinubu-led government and still benefitting from these policies sustained by subsequent Lagos governments turned out to be unappreciative and hate Asiwaju most.

They hate Asiwaju Tinubu. They hate his wife. They hate his children and they hate everything about him.

The kind of hate is unprecedented to the point the tension today is the fall out of it.

All the good gestures and liberal policies initiated by Asiwaju Tinubu have been retained by successful governors but are still not appreciated by majority of Igbo in Lagos who have daily influx into Lagos because they have heard of opportunities in Lagos. The competition is now getting more intense and the Lagos state government appear to be pretending that the problem is not real.

Every four years, these Igbo residents in Lagos deliberately gather to promote the politics of lies, hate and bigotry against the dorminant political interest of their Yoruba host. The 2023 the candidate they are backing lost again calls for a foresight on how to stop these deep hate for the Yoruba politics the Igbo in Lagos play.

What solution do I propose?

Law Of Reciprocity

Law Of Reciprocity Is The Solution.

Let me explain.

Reading comments here and on social media, my conclusion is that anyone who attacks, insults , curses the Yoruba and notable Yoruba leaders is the one these majority of Igbo love.

From Rufai Oseni, former radio broadcaster and now Tv host on Arise Tv, is a Television station with a huge Igbo viewership , now to Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor, LP Gubernatorial candidate, who for years openly supported the proscribed IPOB group (linked to the coordinated arson in Lagos in 2020) and reportedly use derogatory words to insult and mock Yoruba and notable Yoruba leaders including Pastor Enoch.A. Adeboye, General Overseer, RCCG worldwide


Other Igbo folks online and offline are openly boasting that their main reason for suppporting LP is because Mr Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor, is one of them , raised to speak Igbo fluently like them and has an Igbo political godfather, Mr Peter Obi, former Anambra state Governor.

The Yoruba are livid and feel completely disrespected. A notable Yoruba leader, Ayo Fayose, former Governer of Ekiti state; described it as insensitive to the Yoruba for a party to present a candidate who can not speak Yoruba to govern a Yoruba state.

What he did not say openly is that the choice of a Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor who can not speak Yoruba is deliberate political mischief. Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor was selected by Igbo who do not speak or understand Yoruba as reward to him for being anti Yoruba and proscribed IPOB of Igbo extraction many believed worked for Mr Obi in the election votes from Igboland were allegedly rigged massively.

Igbo Insensitivity and Arrogance In Lagos.

The insensitive Igbo who derisively regard Lagos as a no man's land can not arrogantly claim to be the host of the Yoruba in their own land and enjoy the benefit of an entitled visitor in Lagos without the Yoruba having a single reciprocity from.the states of origin of these Igbo who mock and insult daily. It is a recipe for serious resentment of Igbo and anarchy by the Yoruba Lagos.

It is fair to adopt reciprocity as a Lagos state and Southwest policy so that all these bigotry and hatred these Igbo show for the Yoruba will reduce if not stop.

I have listened to a few vexed Yoruba and I heard why some stayed away from voting for Asiwaju is because they are angry with him, they believed he traded off the reciprocity in order to advance his personal political interest so they are demanding that if LASG give certain privileges to Igbo in Lagos there should be commensurate privilege given to Yoruba in Igboland too. Until this is done, the Yoruba will not stop feeling cheated and the bigotry and hatred caused by lack of gratitude on the part of some Igbo will not stop.

The Yoruba can be a Commissioner in Igboland too. A Femi should be able to move around to campaign to be Abia state governor like Mr Chinedu in Lagos too and you do not need to kill a fellow Igbo for celebrating the victory of a non-Igbo in Igboland.

Nobody does that to Igbo in Yorubaland. So reciprocity is a fair and just demand.

For 8 years, Mr El Rufai, Governor of Kaduna state kept Yoruba in his cabinet and extended free govt services to non Hausa. Such a state and its indigenes resident in Lagos are qualified for reciprocity in Lagos while states that are hostile to Yoruba and in fact, states without appointment for Yoruba should not recieve political appointments in Lagos .

States with indigenes in Lagos that do not hire and provide free heathcare and free education to Yoruba in their states too should not qualify for benefits of reciprocity. This should extend into streets naming, award of contracts, allocation of shops and hackney permits. These are finite oppprtunities and you must first give it the natives and whatever is left should meet the condition that the Igbo state give same opportunity to Yoruba in Igboland before we give it to Igbo in Yorubaland.

Only in Igbo states do we not have other tribes in their states exco,ministries etc. It is not a balanced relationship and I see reason in the complaint of the Yoruba who feel cheated.

Since democracy returned in 1999, Lagos has given a lot yet not even a single state in Igboland has ever appointed a Yoruba into their exco. It has to stop and reciprocity will stop it. Even property acquisition, especially a finite resource like land, should henceforth be scrutinized and rationed to demand reciprocity from the states of origin of the Igbo resident applicant and justice served.

Benefits

The benefits are too numerous and sustainable.

Jobs will be more abundant to the Yoruba natives at home and away from home.

This reciprocity policy will help provide jobs and social benefits to all Yoruba in other states especially if this policy of reciprocity is adopted by all the southwest states.

It will equally help draw mostly talents and less of lazy or criminal elements to the Southwest from the South East which in turn will help improve the economy of Yoruba states and Yoruba living outside SW, especially in Igboland.

The Yoruba need the jobs here at home too and those resident in Igboland should benefit from jobs in Igboland so that the same privileges the Igbo benefit here in Yorubaland their govts are giving with reciprocity to the Yoruba.

Our economy in SW will grow in leaps and bounds with the policy reciprocity.

The State Executive councils and state Houses of Assembly in the South West should fornulate an effecrive strategy and laws to domesticate the policy of reciprocity in their states like they did with the Amotekun law.

A more radical variant of this pragmatic policy was adopted and implemented by the Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Ibrahim Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto-led Northern Nigeria government in the 1st republic . It was very effective to quickly help Northern Nigeria ramp up human capacity and infrastructural development before the Premier's life was terminated violently on January 15, 1966.

Conclusion

Yoruba should not cheat Igbo and Igbo should not cheat Yoruba. Enough of this politics of lies, hate and bigotry every 4 years.

Reciprocity is the way out.

BREAKING: Tinubu’s Guinean passport is “diplomatic passport”, Embassy confirms
April 19, 2023 Nkiruka Nistoran 0 Comments africa, Nigeria, NigeriaDecides2023
Declines to provide details

The Embassy of the Republic of Guinea in Abuja, Nigeria, has confirmed that the Guinean passport purportedly belonging to Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is actually a diplomatic passport.

The Guinean Embassy made the confirmation following a Freedom of Information application written to the diplomatic corp by News Band correspondent.

The application entitled “Freedom of Information Act Inquiry over Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Guinean citizenship” sought to obtain information on the passport which has been trending online.

The application reads in part: “The Freedom of Information Act 2011 of the laws of the Federation of Nigeria is an Act to make public records and information more freely available, provide for public access to public records and information, protect public records and information to the extent consistent with the public interest and the protection of personal privacy.

“On the basis of the above-mentioned subject, I write to obtain detailed information on the attached document attached below which has been trending online for some time.

“According to the document, Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a citizen of Guinea, besides being a citizen of Nigeria.

“Can you kindly clarify the said issue to enable me provide accurate information to the reading public?

“I will appreciate your doing in line with the Freedom of Information Act.”

Responding, the Embassy of the Republic of Guinea stated that “the diplomatic passport is issued only by the Presidency of the Republic.”

It, however, failed to “confirm the authenticity of this passport.”

The Embassy wrote: “We inform you that in the Republic of Guinea, the diplomatic passport is issued only by the Presidency of the Republic.

“Therefore, we regret that we cannot confirm the authenticity of this passport.

“To find out more, we invite you to send us an official request via the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accompanied by a copy of the passport in question that we could send to the competent authorities in Guinea to verify whether the person concerned has benefited from the Guinean nationality.”

In reaction, News Band informed the Embassy that its “response was more of a smokescreen than a response”.

The applicant averred that it does not behoove on him to approach Guinean Government through the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs since “it is clear that issuing passports is an internal affair, hence, has nothing to do with my country’s Foreign Affairs”.

He maintained that he has already sent a copy of the passport in question as an attachment to the email, asking: “Do you expect me to go and collect the original from the purported holder, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is currently “resting” in France?”

He reminded the Embassy that since he made no mention of “diplomatic passport” but the fact that the Embassy went ahead and confirmed that the passport in question is in circulation and that it is indeed a diplomatic one “is in itself an affirmation of some sort”.

Finally, he warned the Embassy that if within the next seven (7) days, as stipulated by Freedom of Information Act 2011, he still does not receive the desired response, he will approach a competent court of jurisdiction for redress.

The Embassy is yet to respond to the latest averment.

Gross abuse of FOI. Diplomatic missions and their staff have immunity from laws of Nigeria. Your FOI does not bind on diplomats.

Bloody ignoramus!

Obi lost election, now Ibo resume killings.

TheManPregnant:
There are so many places like this in Lagos. From Ajah to Ogudu, you will see coded ghettos carefully tucked between or behind posh estates and high end streets. It's a normal stuff.

Anywhere in Nigeria you find Ibo settlements expect to see this filth repeated over and over and over. If you want to remove this filth, clear Ibo out of that place.

Sitwalkstand:
Loquacious Reno.

He boldly told you that UK, US and Canada are always issuing diplomatic passports to non citizens. Ask him for proof, he will start stammering.

Tinubu is given diplomatic passport as what, is he a diplomat? when?

Guinnea is the headquarter of drugs in Africa.

On INEC EC9. A column there ask you to aspirants if the hold citizenship of another country. Why did Tinubu not say yes or No and explain things.

The man is dark and evil.

You can be diplomat for another nation without actually being a citizen. Infact, you can be minister for another nation without being their citizen.

Please hide your ignorance so people dont make fun of you.

Typically, any position in succession line to the president of a nation are forbidden to non-citizens, all others are eligible for nomination, whether on service, merit or in honor.

She should call herself TRAIN ENGINEER, not train driver. There is nothing in that train she is driving, or to be driven.

Pastor saw future of Tinubu winning but could not see future of himself eating beans in kirikiri.

Isobug:
They asked you question and you parried it. Does Bola Tinubu posseses a Guinean passport? You indirectly refused to answer the question and keep saying it's a path to greatness. So we should just forget about legality and delve into dirty deals so we can get to greatness.

Meanwhile, what said here is not true. Ethnic profiling has since departed from Western and even some African politics. Reason a Yoruba man is a mayor there

You have to look at the profile of electorate that voted the Yoruba to victory to say if there was ethnic profiling or not. Thats key!

Just because Yoruba won does not mean ethnic profiling did not play into it. As Fashola correctly said, identity is a currency around the world. BLM was about identity. Russia invading Ukraine is about identity. Finland and Switzerland protesting their choice to join NATO is about identity. BREXIT is about identity.

Innovators and writers share Tinubu's profile.

People that innovate don't sleep at night, even if they want to, they can't. Same with writers. I should point out that when I say "writers", I don't mean authors. Authors can create a product in less than a week, and by next year it has expired. Writers may not produce anything for 5 years, but when they do its lifespan is eternity.

Innovators and writers bring us breakthroughs.

Moh247:


1: Yet the fake David Hudeyen passport doesn't have common international security features like monogram and extra shadow picture

2: Tinubu was born in Nigeria and Nigerian parents and never for once denouced his citizen so no bases of forfeiture of Nationality and he is fully eligible to contest

a person shall forfeit forthwith his Nigerian citizenship if, not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country, other than Nigeria, of which he is not a citizen by birth

3: We are to busy for Tinubu's inuaguration merriment and AsoEbi to give a damn about new Ellupee petty game of losers so no one is going to any court, if you have facts you would have gone to court or presented it at the tribunals

Dayam!

Former president of Guinea may have issued it. He was close friends with Alpha Conde.

Jeffy1206:
So long I'm not seeing apc winning, I'm more than happy! Agbadorians always got it wrong asking where LP is Lollllzzzz! LP is different from obidient movement and they failed to understand this cos their brain is addicted to heroine usage 😕😯😮

Im not a BATIST, I did not vote either, but I watched this election closely. Stop shifting goal post. What happened to "LP from top to bottom?". Abi your definition of top to bottom has changed?

Oby Ezekwesili and Aisha Yesufu trying to find grounds for protest in Tinubu Administration.

CodeTemplar:
Can Okowa speak Urhobo?

Can Obaseki speak Ishan?

Can Wike speak Ijaw?

Lagos is not a Yoruba only speaking state and besides the Language isn't official lingual franca.

Correct, CRV does not need to speak Yoruba, thats why he also does not need to govern in Lagos.

AcuraZDX:
Nigerians, come and see the pain these guys are putting Peter Obi through according to Prof. Stella Okunna. His Phones, that of his family and kids were bugged.

They also went as far as duplicating his identity.


https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0fWhS89NHehaukGRQPYPkQzepLhLMdEh23J1vnjYcpEaRu62mp5r1FSuR6aHbvCDwl&id=100012680888980&sfnsn=scwspmo

After 9/11 and a series of homeland attacks and terrorism, every nation around the world now use biometric profile and geodata to audit travelers

What this means is from the moment you purchase ticket until you arrive at your destination you are in a planning manifest. When you are checked in at airport in Nigeria, a copy of your itinerary is broadcasted out. Authorities know where you are. When you arrive at other end without incidence your presence in the manifest is closed out.

When there is incidence, an audit process kicks in. So this dense narrator is telling us that a impersonator sneaked into the manifest and presented himself as Peter Obi. Then ridiculed British immigration publicly by saying their biometric information was also breached and the impersonator mimicked Obi's retina and fingerprints, and they were not able to detect it on the spot until some Nigerians intervened. Wow!

AcuraZDX:
According to section 77 of the INEC Electoral Act 2022, each political party SHALL make their register available within 30 days before primaries, but SHALL in this legislative intent does not have fixed or inflexible meaning.

Its statutory provision here directs a manner of conduct to guide officials, and hence, maybe given a permissive or directory interpretation.



The Constitution requires a candidate to be SPONSORED by a party, but there's no prescription as to the age of your membership for you to be validly sponsored. Once the candidate is duly designated (primaries or concensus), s/he's good. PO could have joined LP the day of primary.

On his relationship with PDP and LP, I'm just sitting here laughing like Lafia. 😂🤣

The meticulous man he is, PO had everything planned & sceneriazed to perfection, as even APC acknowledged in their response:

1. Resigned from PDP 20/05;
2. Joined LP 27/05;
3. LP primaries 30/05.

Summarily, APC don't have the locus standi on the issue of how long Peter Obi had been or should have been in LP before his nomination.

In legal use "SHALL" carry a demand to oblige or comply.

Yes, Obi could join in morning and party hold primary in evening, no problem. The moment it is contested, then the rule of compliance must be adhered to.

APC is not contesting it, even though they have locus standi to do so.

Amotolongbo:
I just laugh when I see post like this.

I can’t see what has changed in Nigeria and with Nigerians. If Peter Obi is arrested, nothing will happen, the highest is for some protests for few days and life continues.

The same way they all shouted and bragged that no one can arrest or touch Nnamdi Kanu.
We protested during Endsars and after it, we all accepted the fates and moved on.

Infact social media was filled with threats that if Tinubu was declared winner blood will flow on the streets. I am yet to see a drop, much more a flow.

If FG carry Obi go, na so everybody go just dey mumble under breath for a week before they go face their business and forget Obi.

LagosFirstSon:
Who then is this man parading himself as Bola Tinubu?

Who are his child hood friends and family

People are full of bullshyte sha.

Look on that form, before sex there is space for Date of Birth. Why is everything else on this form filled in except date of birth?

This form, and story, is the work of Onitsha rumor mill. When was the girl Bola born, and in what state?

PStacks:
Good Morning dear Nairalanders.

Please meet conjoined twins Peter-Rufai Obi Oseni.



Rufai Oseni was Seen Dancing inside Arise Studio after INEC Announced Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential Elections in Lagos State.

Here is a journalist that is supposed to be Neutral by his ethics and code of Conduct but we all know that his affinity belongs with the Labor Party as Peter Obi always greases their palms at the Arise studios in Lagos any time he goes on their platform to spew his dubious statistics.

For Professionalism Sake, Arise Tv would eventually have to let go of Rufai Oseni.

Even tho we know Reuben Abati and the other Ojy Girl that is always smiling like someone her clitoris is being fuddled with are all on the same page with Rufai but they are a lot more matured about their own as Rufai makes his own just too obvious.


From a Business Perspective, People should not tell you they are boycotting your channel because of your staff rufai..

I Know for a fact Arise Tv would eventually have to sack Rufai.. its just a matter of when and not if.

I don't think he should be sacked. His lack of discretion should be used as a leverage. He owes a debt for this foolishness, so he redeems himself. The terms of redemption will be delivered in due course.

Obi said election was rigged in 11 states but that he would use results of the election to prove rigging.

Obi wants tribunal to throw Tinubu votes out, throw Atiku votes out, and declare Obi votes the only legitimate ones and thereby announce him the winner. Obi is a clown
