504 ke. Who still drives 504?

Dundee is that the topic being discussed. You cannot focus for one minute

Gotocourt:
His choice, I have Muslim relatives in Maiduguri that no longer go to mosque after surviving bomb and assassin's during the peak of Boko Haram

una for continue to go na, no go borrow sense. blood thirsty religion of filth from the Arab underworld

Thundafireseun:
We tell ourselves things to make us sleep better at night...

You fight when you have something to protect... You fight when you have something you love ... A man doesn't beg for free stuffs , a man doesn't look for sympathy..... Politics is a dirty game .... Every politician should be ready to fight

wisdom is knowing the right fights to pick, I hope you apply this in daily life as well or life will give you a rude awakening. you want to fight people atiku has promised ministerial slot, or the ones he helps pay their children's school fees

Thundafireseun:
Oga do you think if TINUBU did not fight do you think Emi lo Kan will have been actualized today?

Do you think Buhari was actually ever going to hand over to TINUBU?

TINUBU said it himself that getting the APC presidential ticket was the hardest battle he ever faced in his life ..

It was also rigged against TINUBU too... good luck assuming that there will be free food for you because you helped in building the foundation of your family house

Rest, you can only fight when you have the assets and leverage for it. If you have significant stake in a business or venture, fighting is an option

Thundafireseun:
I know you don't believe what you just said.

In family affair anything is possible... Anybody can be banished from a family meeting... You just have to fight for what you want

Good luck banishing someone who dug the foundation of the house and trained family members together with you. Why do you think he said emi lo kan

Thundafireseun:
You obviously have never been to the North and you don't know how the North play politics....

The then vice president Osibanjo was the preferred candidate from the south west.... The president Buhari and wife Aisha were against TINUBU...

The whole cabal were against TINUBU....

The then APC chairman Abdullahi Adamu produced a consensus candidate the then Senate president...

My point is simple, however you want to look at it... It was clearly rigged against TINUBU too

you're still echoing what I'm saying, the north had one slice of the party ,tinubu and his goons had the other major slice that they all used to get into power. you can't lock someone out of a system when you both have split ownership

Who cares? why is this on front page. what does a man gain from a lifetime of servitude and slavery that a woman will come with entitlement to dictate what she wants.

Thundafireseun:
The game was also rigged against TINUBU but he stayed Strong and, fought till the end

because he had leverage, are you forgetting that one block of the party came from his side and they prepared the table together

Thundafireseun:
At least he proved himself a real man by standing up to fight for what he wants....

Unlike Obi who wants everything to be handed over from to him freely

Staying to play a game that is rigged from the start only proves one thing - foolishness

Go home. Not in shame never in shame but in the full, unhurried dignity of one who has finally remembered their own name.

You came with your gifts wrapped in ambition, your hands carrying centuries of ingenuity that built civilizations long before they had a word for civilization. You arrived not as a beggar but as a contributor, not as a shadow but as a source of light. Yet they placed you under fluorescent lamps in cold offices, asked you to spell your name again, to explain your country again, to justify your presence again. And now, emboldened by the shamelessness of a leader whose ignorance wears a suit, they have dispatched uniformed men to remind you that you are unwelcome in the land you helped build. Do not waste your tears on them.

Do not be humiliated by a man who reads from a script he cannot understand, whose contempt for Africa flows not from knowledge but from the hollow arrogance of one who has confused loud words for wisdom. He who denigrates a continent of 54 nations, a billion souls, a thousand tongues, and the oldest human footprints on this earth he does not deserve your rage. He has earned only your pity. But pity is a luxury. Your time is more valuable than that.

Think of what you left behind. Not the poverty they zoomed into in their documentaries to justify their superiority but the real Africa: the laughter that spills out of open windows at midnight, the market at dawn that smells of groundnut oil and fresh possibility, the grandmother whose soup is a philosophy, whose hands are a library. Think of the red earth that knows your blood because it has held the bones of your people for ten thousand years. No American suburb, no matter how manicured its lawns, can offer you what the land of your origin holds in a single fistful of soil.

They will tell you their country is the greatest. Let them have that story. A nation of volcanoes and tornadoes, of mass shootings in schools and prayers that change nothing, of a healthcare system that will bankrupt you for having the audacity to fall ill this is the paradise they are guarding with such vigilance? Let them guard it. You were never meant to be kept anywhere. You were meant to move freely across a world that, at its bones, belongs to everyone.

They have no real food only the borrowed bread of other people's cultures, pressed flat between two halves of a bun and called civilization. No jollof rice smoky from an open fire. No egusi that took all morning to make. No suya wrapped in newspaper at the roadside, eaten standing up, which is how the best things in life are eaten. What they call cuisine, we call convenience. What they call fast food, we call the absence of love.

Remember Wole Soyinka that great lion of Aké, that Nobel laureate whose pen has always been sharper than any sword they could forge who looked at America and its careless talkers, its men who reduce the world to slogans and the slogans to insults, and simply said: no. Not with a fist raised. Not with a press conference. But with the calm, devastating authority of a man who knows his worth and refuses to negotiate it. He packed his conscience and his genius and he came home. And home received him as home always receives its children without condition, without paperwork, without asking him to prove he belonged.

Africa is not waiting for you with pity. Africa is waiting for you with need the urgent, electric need of a continent that is rising, that is building, that is tired of watching its finest minds water other people's gardens while their own soil goes unplanted. Your engineering, your medicine, your art, your business mind, your stubborn refusal to be diminished bring it home. The soil will know what to do with it.

They stole our gold and called it trade. They stole our labour and called it history. They stole our art and placed it in their museums under foreign names. Now they want to steal the one thing we have left our people. Do not let them have even that. Not by force, not by the slow theft of exhaustion and humiliation. Walk out on your own terms. Turn your back not in defeat but in the sovereign indifference of one who has found something better.

You are not leaving because you failed. You are leaving because you are finished with them. There is a difference as wide as the Atlantic that same ocean your ancestors crossed in chains, which you will now cross in a plane, with your passport and your pride and your future folded neatly in your carry-on bag. Let that crossing be a reclamation.

Let your departure be as deliberate as Soyinka's. As quiet as dignity always is. As final as a door closed gently not slammed, for slamming is for those who are angry, and you are not angry. You are simply done. Done with the cold weather that never agreed with your bones. Done with the food that has no memory, no ceremony, no love in its making. Done with proving yourself to people who decided before you arrived what you were worth. Done with a nation that has made enemies in every corner of the world and cannot understand why.

Come home to Accra's golden corridors of ambition. Come home to Lagos, that furious, magnificent beast of a city that never sleeps and never apologizes for its hunger. Come home to Nairobi's skyline lifting itself taller each season. Come home to Dakar, to Kigali, to Addis, to Abuja, to Johannesburg and her complicated, beautiful soul. Come home to the village too do not be ashamed of the village for the village is where the roots go deepest and where the stories are truest.

Their America was never yours. You leased it with your labour and your loneliness and your Sunday phone calls home and your silent endurance of a thousand small degradations. The lease is up. You are not renewing. Collect yourself. Collect your children. Collect your name say it the way your mother says it, the full version, all the syllables, without apology and walk.
Walk the way our elders walked out of their colonizers' offices: slowly, deliberately, with the knowledge that history is long and the last word has not yet been spoken. Walk knowing that the same sun that rises over their skyline rises first over ours earlier, warmer, and with the full approval of a sky that has always loved Africa best.

The continent did not forget you while you were gone. It kept your place at the table. It kept the fire low, but burning.

Leave their America. It was never yours to lose.
Africa calls her children home and she is not asking twice.

Bimpe29:
See what has become of PDP, erstwhile largest party in Africa. A flag bearer that cannot even win his local government in the general election.

What's special about the party of corruption?

The more reason you should be kept far away from aso rock since you joined to bring the disaster upon Nigeria

this house of assembly office really sweet this buffoon o. Truly these guys are bleeding Lagos dry in secret, wow interesting. Be a man and step aside ,stop singing like a bird

bush meat don catch hunter

PDPdestroyer:
This is a clear message of rebellion against Ned’s Anioma state project.
By the way, when is the Ndigbo Democratic Congress(NDC) and Arewa Democratic Congress(ADC) conducting their own primaries?

still waiting on Al shabab peoples congress (APC) to conclude

DomPerignon:
We should be the ones asking you why this alliance is in place .

Kwankwaso can leave whenever if he's not satisfied. He can go back to Kano ,he won't be missed

SmartPolician:
11 years later, that man still never get sense

He will be disgraced.

Tinubu will win this election

a stupid oaf indeed, he never disappoints

DomPerignon:
From what I got from their timetable:

1. There won't be consensus candidate

2. NDC is not zoning their Presidential ticket.

With these in mind, I can safely say that kwankwasso will be contesting for the NDC ticket.

The only people who refused to even allow that scenario or thought play in their heads are the highly delusional obidients .

Kwankwasso has declared severally that he is in the race not as anyone's VP nominee but to contest the general elections as a substantive Presidential candidate but this is lost on the obedients who keep insisting that kwankwasso will run as Obi's vp nominee.

That makes it highly probable that kwankwasso will emerge as the flag bearer for the NDC as even if Obi decides to overcome his phobia in contesting primaries, Kwankwasso will beat him black and blue.

I also do not see Kwankwasso picking Obi as his running mate because like I have said here several times which the few northerners here can attest to, Obi is not sellable to the Muslim north. His Yes Daddy tapes along other considerations will make any northern candidate who runs with him as VP too toxic to sell up north.

I expect Giringori to quit NDC few days before the primaries and drag the party to court for not giving him free ticket.

Obi is not syllable to the north but Kwankwaso who introduced sharia and championed breaking beer bottles with terrorist hisbah is sellable to the south. ogbeni gerrout of here with your slave mentality

I only pity the woman's kids because hard questions will be asked in a few years

when you talk nonsense finish collect your vp from bAtiku

not true, you got the proliferation of sharia and Islamic terrorism

e for put body na abeg. even house of reps he won't see again

spiSeyi:
Let's look at this logically and not emotionally.
1999-2007 OBJ (South) => 8yrs
2007-2009 Yaradua (North) => 3yrs
2009-2015 GEJ (South)=> 6yrs
20015-2023 (North)=> 8yrs
2023-2027 (South) => 4yrs

North Total => 11yrs
South Total => 18yrs
The odds are against the North and they have been cheated if we are to follow zoning the North should be given a chance but zoning is not in our constitution, and let's not see Atiku as a greedy man we the South have robbed them

This your selective maths is rather interesting, cognitive dissonance at its finest. So we completely erase our memory from 1960 and start at 1999?

ogascomax:
They will leave the reasons he gave and start insulting him because they think it's by insult, bold face,by refuser, emotions they use in winning election in Nigeria. It's only true strategy thinking you can win an election.

reasons he gave, where was this reason when it was zoned to the north and everyone stood behind him to challenge Buhari in 2019? nonsense talk

garykoeman:
Person wey kwankwashor go beat for primary.

Ok is not ok.

;DI no know which kind drink all of una dey drink. Who know Kwankwaso outside Kano? last election exposed the gamers but delusion will let you drive Kwankwaso into political oblivion. He's a local champion at best and nobody needs to beg him for one minute
