Strafudeen:
No Egypt should help you take back part of the government loot cornered by dangote and his half dozen half brothers for their alcohol and haram women , while you're sent to memorise religious texts in squalid almajiri schools, iga the north is worse off....down south everyone has something , up north the big men have everything, you small guys have nothing...sorry

Ok!
I don't respond to trash.

Strafudeen:
What goes around comes around

Discriminate against people at home , karma comes right back at you

I thought Egypt was your brother Muslim country...so what's gwan?

They can't even open their doors for fellow Muslims, including the boy writing a thesis on fighting Christian growth in nigeria....you see una life?

God is sending you a warning, stop fighting Christians , stop discrimination against non Muslims.


I have said my own

How will this make a christian president elect of Nigeria?

Maybe you should seek Egypt assistance to stop a Muslim from being sworn in as President of Nigeria come May 29th.

helinues:
Then why is he crying about those who need something from Tinubu's government if not jealousy?

They betryed their party, now they are beggars!

Tambuwal will sit comfortably in the senate from northwest.

Northwest as a group can't be messed with.

helinues:
At least Wike can lobby for federal appointment from Tinubu.

Go and lobby for same from Atiku you supported now

The serial betrayal Tambuwal

Tambuwal is an elected senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

TemplarLandry:
Excellent!
In my eyes, Tinubu's presidency is the start of Nigerian democracy. No more Khaki men in Agbada. We technically started democracy in 1999 and it's going to be uninterrupted henceforth.

This is the very first time a true democrat with no stupid military background will be our President.
Note, I said “a true democrat”, not wannabes.
The very first time a President from the South supervises a digital Nigerian census. So credibility rate of the census is way high.

The first digital census in Nigerian history.

No more wonky inflated figures from the Ariwa.
Hopes are up!

The north made tinubu President. You go and check the figures again if you haven't.

The southwest seems to be making tinubu their project.

The north is too strategic and formidable for any region to take for granted.
Go check your history books.

Funkyswagzz:
They are short of words this time. If for instance this man decide to run for president they a way to cancel him

So to rescue stranded Nigerians from Sudan is now a criteria to be the most qualified presidential candidate for Nigeria?

Hmmmm.

When will Obi move to defence house?

Christians and wailing are siamese twins.

They wail over anything and everything rather than action.

Those who go to Sudan to study will return and act while you Christians will remain on social media wailing with your education.

Too many igbo threads on Nairaland since Kolanut lost the presidential election in february.

When will this one constitute his Presidentia linauguration committee?

When will this one constitute his Presidential inauguration committee?

Make somebody remind am say May 29 is about 35 days away！

foreshore:
That's the authentic President

When will this one constitute his Presidential inauguration committee?

PlayerMeji:
Look at this one that has been living under the rock since. So you didn't know most Christians voted for Peter Obi at this last presidential election? Yet he didn't win. In spite of the fact that that Muslim votes were divided by Tinubu, Atiku and Obi... Obi still could not win!

FYI, I am a Christian so don't get it twisted

I just wonder why anyone will deny Obi was the Christian’s candidate.

adioolayi:
You are not being sincere...you still underrate the power of the Governors in our politics...

Wike would have won Rivers for PDP, Seyi Makinde will do same ..just like Adeleke did in Osun..Fayose would have gotten something for PDP in Ekiti...and these guys would have financed Lagos PDP to get tangible votes.

Those in SE may not win it for Atiku, but there outing would have been better.

For me, Nigeria's politics is still very predictable..nothing has changed.

Ok.
Why didn't Ganduje win it for Tinubu?
Why didn't El rufai win it for Tinubu?
Why didn't Sanwo olu win it for Tinubu? etc.
These are governors that are core to Tinubu’s campaign.

Maybe you meant Wike would have rigged for Atiku.

adioolayi:
Really? There is no point arguing what is not...I know a united PDP would have beating APC...Obi or not!

The results are there for everyone to see, Atiku only needed a slight push here and there to win that election..

With a formidable PDP in the South, Peter Obi will only be able to breath in the SE and nowhere else.

The divided PDP were Obi and Kwankwaso to a lesser degree.
The south east and south south largely voted Obi a christian and an Igbo or both.
yet Atiku did well in the south south.

Again, What did the G5 achieved for themselves？

adioolayi:
Why didn't he encouraged Atiku to make similar moves after winning the PDP presidential ticket

Dino was part of those that lead Atiku on...telling him to call the bluff of the aggrieved PDP members, especially the G-5..

Now, he is trying is best to unite Kogi PDP...he knows a divided house cannot stand against incumbent government

The G5 were inconsequentialto the result of the presidential election. What did the G5 achieved for themselves?

Obi was the main factor to Atiku victory.

Stephen Angbulu

Given his campaign promises in 2014 and 2018, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has reneged on several fronts in the eight years he served, leaving Nigerians with many unfulfilled expectations, STEPHEN ANGBULU writes

On Friday, May 29, 2015, thousands of Nigerians gathered at Eagles Square, Abuja, as millions more followed on television to watch their new President, Major General Muhammadu (retd.), take the oath of office.

Supporters chanted, “Mai gaskiya! (meaning Man of truth) Sai Baba! Sai Buhari!” The sheer fanfare and jubilation on the streets nationwide showed how much confidence and trust Nigerians had in the 72-year-old, tall, slender former Head of State from Daura, Northwest Nigeria.

Having contested the Presidency and failed thrice, Buhari was now inheriting a fragile economy, a heavily polarized state and would fight to reclaim swaths of ungoverned territory from Boko Haram’s grip. The terrorists did not seize lands alone. Many of the 276 schoolgirls abducted from their school in Chibok a few years earlier were still held captive. Buhari promised to set them free.

On inauguration day, he stood as tall as his reputation; a no-nonsense leader poised to uproot deep-seated corruption, crush the Boko Haram insurgency, restore security and revamp Africa’s largest economy.

These expectations were neither arbitrary nor thrust upon him. They were only a result of his promises; promises of change, hope and opportunity for citizens whom, he said, have endured 16 years of bad governance under the Peoples Democratic Party.

After emerging as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress that Thursday night of December 11, 2014, Buhari pledged to “govern Nigeria honestly under the constitution, strive to secure the country and efficiently manage the economy, attack poverty through shared economic growth, attack corruption through the impartial application of the law, tolerate no religious, regional, economic or gender bias in government, return Nigeria into a position of international respect through patriotic foreign policy and to choose the best Nigerians for the right jobs.”
In the weeks that followed, he traversed the country, rehashing this proposal to Nigerians in various forms, eventually garnering enough votes to defeat the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, in the presidential elections of February 2015.

If Buhari had the will to better Nigeria, now he had all the power to do so. But did he?

The first signs of trouble began when the new administration had not convened a functioning cabinet 100 days after assuming office. The months-long delay earned Buhari the moniker “Baba go slow.” This slow start would herald many more woes.

For the first time in 25 years, Nigeria’s economy contracted 1.5 per cent and went into recession in the second quarter of 2016. The National Bureau of Statistics said the sharp fall was due to plummeting oil revenues and a shortage of hard currency.

“This contraction reflects a difficult year for Nigeria, which included weaker inflation-induced consumption demand, an increase in pipeline vandalism, significantly reduced foreign reserves and a concomitantly weaker currency,” the NBS said in a report.

Months prior, oil production, Nigeria’s economic mainstay, fell to 1.833 million barrels daily from 2.13 million bpd in 2015 as militant attacks skyrocketed in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Although the government weathered through, the country slipped into another recession in 2020, its second in just five years.

In November 2022, the World Bank revealed that development progress in Nigeria had stagnated since 2015 when Buhari took office as President.

It said, “Nigeria’s development progress has stagnated since 2015. Between 2001 and 2014, Nigeria was a rising growth star in West Africa, with an average growth rate of seven per cent per year, and among the top 15 fastest-growing economies globally.

“The rising tide stopped since 2015 due to: (i) a decline in oil prices; (ii) increased insecurity; (iii) a reversal of macroeconomic reforms and heightened unpredictability of economic policies; and—more recently—(iv) the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a result, growth reduced to a 1.1 per cent average between 2015 and 2021. The subdued economic growth, coupled with a rapid increase in population at 2.6 per cent per year, one of the highest of the region, widened the gap in real GDP per capita between Nigeria and its peers.”

In its defence, the regime says it recorded “strides in infrastructural development; roads, bridges, rail, air and seaports, housing, and many others.”

However, these infrastructural development efforts have been built on heavy borrowing. While the rails have been majorly from Chinese loans to Nigeria, the roads have been constructed or repaired from over N600bn Sukuk bonds raised since 2017 for over 40 road projects across all six geopolitical zones.

It mentioned the 156km Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail completed and commissioned within a Nigerian-record-time of four years (2017 to 2021), the 8.72km extension to Lagos-Ibadan rail line to Lagos Port Complex, completed in 2021; 186km Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail line, completed and commissioned in 2016; and 327km Itakpe-Warri standard gauge rail completed and commissioned in 2020, 33 years after construction began.

It also cited the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Second Niger Bridge, and Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressway (first phase for completion in 2023) as part of its developmental efforts to buoy the economy.

However, these efforts have sailed on heavy borrowings. As Nigeria’s debt profile coasts from N12.12tn in June 2015 to N77tn by June 2023, every Nigerian would owe over N384,000 by the end of the Buhari regime.

Rising inflation botched Buhari’s promise of lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty.

According to the Consumer Price Index report by the NBS in March 2023, Nigeria’s inflation rate accelerated to a new 17-year high of 22.04 per cent. With increasing prices worsening the welfare of Nigerian households, the World Bank revealed that the country has one of the highest inflation rates globally and the seventh highest in sub-Saharan Africa in 2022.

In its mid-April report, the National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy steering committee revealed that about two million vulnerable Nigerians were impacted by its various projects. This is two per cent of the 100 million Nigerians the President hoped to lift out of poverty.

Nigeria’s available power generation capacity plummeted by 981.8 megawatts between 2015 and August 2022. A Power Generation Trend revealed that while available power generation capacity was 6,616.28MW in 2015, it dropped to 5,634.47MW in August 2022. This was despite the over N1.51tn the Federal Government intervention in the sector since 2015.

Consequently, the national grid collapsed at least 98 times under Buhari, plunging millions of Nigerians into darkness. No longer confident of his campaign promise to revive the power supply to Africa’s largest market, groups are now appealing to Buhari to simply restore the power sector to its 2015 state.

On the campaign trail, the President had promised to end terrorism, banditry and herders attacks, among other security challenges ravaging the nation.

However, armed groups continue to terrorise Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, and Niger, amongst other states. The recent kidnap of at least 10 students in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State is a case in point. Besides kidnappings, alleged herders attacks and unrestrained killings of farmers continue to mock the 2015 promise of a safe, secure Nigeria.

Since the Nigeria Air emblem was unveiled in July 2018, citizens have waited five years to see a flying aircraft bearing it. However, despite countless pledges, the Buhari-led government has foot-dragged the successful establishment of the much-anticipated national carrier.

At various fora at home and abroad, Buhari has reiterated his “achievements,” maintaining that Nigerians would appreciate his regime favourably after he leaves office. But with the mix of failed promises worsened by episodes of disregard for the rule of law, would they?

Dr Monday Ubani is the Chairman, the Section of Public Interest and Development of the Nigerian Bar Association. He argues that the Buhari-led regime flopped in all its campaign promises to Nigerians in 2015 and 2019.

He said, “There is no one indicator where we can say he moved the country forward. Rather, he has moved us several years backwards. If you talk about human rights, the administration, apart from the Abacha regime, is one of the greatest violators of the rule of law.”

But for Sheriffdeen Tella, a professor of Economics at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, it’s not all zeros for Buhari.
He said while the regime revamped part of the railway sector, it performed poorly in the general management of the economy.

“When it comes to economic issues, we cannot score the President any average of good. He has not done well. But he has done well in the area of rail and transport infrastructure.

“However, in the general management of the economy, he has not done well. The rate of unemployment is still very high. We are still not far from being the poverty capital of the world, except that we traded places with India. We have entered into a debt trap. And we are still looking for more loans while we use 80 per cent of our revenue to service debts. It’s not good enough.”

When contacted for comments, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, referred our correspondent to the Presidency’s eight-year scorecard for the Buhari regime.

There, the Presidency argued that Buhari launched the National Social Investment Programme, which contains over 46 million persons from over 11 million poor and vulnerable households. Out of these, it said two million poor and vulnerable Nigerian households currently benefit from the Conditional Cash Transfer programme, which pays a bimonthly stipend of N10,000 per household.

It said the regime also implemented the Treasury Single Account and prioritised the deployment of the Bank Verification Number and the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System to curb corruption in the civil service as part of wide-ranging reforms.

" Like unto you"

Is Moses God too?

Did Jesus brought Law to Isarel?

Did Moses also came to die for your sins to appease his Yahweh?

Was Moses without a Human Father too?

I can go on but wait fez, is Jesus now a prophet and no longer God?

So, God can be a Prophet too?

Hummmmm!
confused people everywhere.

ANTIlSLAM:
Lukuluku69 any question? AntiChristian come and help your broda Luku ooo

Lukuluku69 is sufficient !

Lukuluku69:
There Dozens of references to Prophet Muhammad in the Bible, the Vedas and many other Scriptures of the World. Of cos I can detail them for you and what it will elicit from your end is the same reaction you get from Jews when you Christians try to tell the News that your Jesus was also mentioned in the old Testament. So, sometimes you just let it things be. Pesin wey wan blind go be blind even with thousands of eyeballs fixed on every part of their body!

Of cos I know Musalima the Liar during the time of the Prophet. He met with Death for his Lies against God.

Funny thing is the Jews considered your Jesus a False Prophet too back then and they still do. Does that make him a False one? So, if you considered Prophet Muhammad a false one too, you are just like your Jewish Reprobates whom you follow and worship alongside Yahweh and his son.

Even if I listed the references out, just like you have been doing to the Jews, he who want to be blind will be blind just as you

wisdom brother！

Lukuluku69:
Lol

Your weakling of god was not only beaten, he was stripped naked. Slapped around too and all those who vowed to be with him till the end had to forsook him and fled and when he bleat into eloi, eloi that one too forsook him. And after that, his weaklings of followers were also slapped, killed wandered about aimlessly looking up to the sky for the return the weakling return.

As for the Arabian Prophet, his enemy bit the dust over and over again. And after him, his followers kicked arse too. From Persia, to the Levant and to Europe, they kicked ars.e literally and figuratively.

If that is failure to you Moro.ns, then the mission of your weakling of a god was grand failure of humongous proportion.

Subhanallah！
May we never be a party to this kind of god!

Lukuluku69
May Allah continue to guide you and increase you in wisdom and knowledge. Amin.

obiekunie01:

by now we would av been competing regionally in development.

says who?

GeneralPula:
They won’t easily..

It took them almost 8years for them to believe buhari wasn’t dead & cloned..

It may take them another 8 years to believe Tinubu is the President‐ｅｌｅｃｔof Nigeria.
When will they believe Tinubu has been President for 8 years？

Mad people from east and LP.

May Allah Take us to and beyond that time.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims！

Bimpe29:
Dino Vs Ododo.

An El Classico in the Confluence State.

Kogi West Vs Kogi Central.

PDP Vs APC.

Christian Vs Muslim.

Kogi East remain the catalyst.

the thing wey una do for presidential election wey una still dey wail about.

make it about religion and Apc wins, simple！

RichBoy247:
He is a national champion. Read the writeup well, Dino Melaye said Wike the wicked one supported the other faction in Anambra PDP, that was why Peter Obituary ran away from PDP. Dino Melaye also said that Wike supported the APC in a Senatorial election in Kogi. That's how Champion do.

Wike is not the coward who was driven away from APGA by Mr. Obeano whom he(Obituary) made governor. Wike is also not an Idiot who ran away from PDP again just because he couldn't contest with other big names.

These people are just cowards. That's the same way Orji Uzor Kalu withdrew from the APC Presidential Primary election and went to queue behind Ahmed Lawan just because the idiot(Orji Uzor Kalu) does not have the courage to contest the Primary with others. The useless coward wants the presidential ticket to be zoned to his village. Now, the nonentity want to be Senate President. He must be mad.

This your post sounds like Kolanut tribe and region don’t have the balls to contest on a national front against big boys from other tribes and region.

Menclothing:
Dino u never win primary u Dey make mouth

Reason. U and Atiku fail

Wike is a rugged beast he fight to win

Dino u fighting power wey pass u early u will loose easily

Common presidential primary Wike no fit win.

ogascomax:
You are amongst the misguided that thinks Muslims are more than Christians in Nigeria. Don't be fooled. South South and East is completely dominated by christians. south West has more christians. North central has more christians then go to North East you will see so much christians there. Go to North West especially Kaduna states you will see about 50/50 there. Where is the Muslim population above christians coming from. It's but a propaganda.

You should ask Kolanut the christian candidate for 2023 presidential election.

Bacteria8:
Lol 😅
Na you hunger go kill o

na now peak go sell pass.

superCleanworks:
Forgive 77x7

but when they want to do Muslim advert they will do all the due diligence in the world

Christianity is a joke bro!

Christians should stop disturbing the peace of Nigeria with Obi, their candidate
There is 2027 for them to try again.

Alaigbopress:
Close your mouth in shame. Obi got more votes from the North more than Tinubu. Wait untill the evidence which we don't want to get to the public comes out.

Now you have delved into the realm of absurdity.
