Cajal:
AIT is the most partisan telecommunications network

Their journalism is sold to highest bidder

arantess:
Is it Hundeyin that aired it on AIT?

David just wrote an exposé on him too

Waiting for Ipobs turned Ob-ituaries to blame it on Apc

All these religions worship the one and only true God .

Thank God that our faith is in God as Christians and not in any corrupt system.

Beedude:
Lies. Cabals are in every government. They are people that are more powerful than the president himself. A president can have his way with them with diplomacy but trying to engage them will spell doom for him

Not in this presents government. Buhari calls all the shots unquestionably

DrTee1:
There are rumours of Ronaldo & Neymar joining Chelsea.

I had bought them into Chelsea in Football Manager. The combo was marvellous. It would be awesome to see it in real life!

Rumours! That's all it is

I just don't know why Pep is selling Starling.

Can only Hasland play upfront?


Well, City can always adapt

Viscuz:
It doesn’t matter I am happy osibande lost . It will be painful to have a figurehead President when u know he is just a proxy . I am happy we know the real person Agbado boy

Do you even know politics or government at all?

How can a Nigerian president be a figure head?

Even Gej, immediately he became president, he automatically became the leader of his party.

Once Osinbajo becomes President he'll be above everyone in his party. No one tells a president what to do. You can only advice

Cypress042:
Where were these people before OPM encountered this man and took him out of the slum

Weren't they in Nigeria ?

Fake love is bad and discouraging mhen i don't like it

Kudos to them tho

The sky is large enough for all birds now

Kingspin:
IPOB don't recognise Peter Obi or Nigeria in the first place.

IPOB has insulted all the leaders in that zone including governors and the people.
The IPOB, I know will never ever support Obi.


So Reno's case is baseless.
And his motive is not good for Nigeria.

Stfu!

Most ipobs have been confirmed to be PO hard core supporter.

Those Ipobs think they can bully eVeryone into supporting Peter Obi.

You criticise and insult other candidates but once Obi is called out you started shouting

Here in Nigeria government will just forcefully eject them to go and due .We have heartless politicians here

Hmmm. This article below is a reminder again. Do not outsource your role as a father.


EKWEREMADU: Between Fatherhood and Ambition


I recall having this conversation with my wife during the week when the case of Sen. Ike Ekweremadu came up and I was completely in an incandescent shock that this man actually has a sick daughter yet has been all over the place attending political meetings for his political ambition instead of taking time out from the highly demanding world of politics to sort out his daughter's pressing health needs.


He was all over the place during the PDP  primaries, he lost the PDP gubernatorial primaries for Enugu state then started planning to decamp to APGA, then APC , reportedly taken to APC national Chairman by HE Uzodinma, Imo state Governor, when APC stalwarts in Enugu APC, led by their state APC Chairman, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah, outrightly rejected him. 

He eventually lost and , unlike previous election cycles, Senator Ekweremadu is not returning to the Nigerian Senate.He lost on all the political fronts.


Sen. Ike Ekweremadu was all over the place so much that it appeared like he did not follow through on the health and lifestyle choices of his children.


He did not follow through on what I believe is more important than his political ambition; the life of his daughter and a family at the low ebb of the apprehension of losing a child  to kidney failure.


Ike Ekeremadu was so consumed by his political ambition that he had no time and seriousness to do due diligence and background check on the character they got him as a donor for his daughter , I doubt if with his PhD, he even had the time to follow through and read up to ask the right questions from the professionals,  understand the risks and benefits of why it could be better for one member of his family of six to donate to the daughter instead of a stranger and seek help to find out if there are some of the tests which can be done on the stranger here in Nigeria before bundling a total stranger overseas. 


He was so consumed by politics that when the 22-year old donor went rogue and was allegedly scheming behind him to deny his age and report Ike and family to UK police, it probably escaped his detection and intervention soon enough so he can be the first to report to UK police and then return the donor to Nigeria for him to immediately restart the process of getting alternative donor(s) for his ailing daughter whose life was more important to him.


He forgot that he was first a father and husband before becoming a Senator,Deputy Senate President and SSG. 

He forgot that he will finish as a father and husband.


I compared Senator Ekweremadu to Joe Biden and I believe that he could have followed the Biden example. Then in 2015 , US Vice President Biden had a dying son and had the opportunity to contest in his party's primaries to emerge against Trump for the US Presidency but Biden stepped down from that race in order to support his dying son.


At a point, Biden was to sell his family house before Barack Obama intervened and offered to pay for the treatment. Biden's boy made his Dad promise him that no matter what happens, Biden must not give up his life long ambition to be US President, Biden's boy, Beau Biden later died. Biden grieved without the guilt of abandoning his son for his political ambition.


 In 2021, years after his son had passed on , Biden contested and won. There are many Nigerian politicians (and professionals) who will do like Biden but not like Ike.   


Family is so important that we even need the approval of a sick dying one before we place anything above their life


That is the lesson Ike missed and was almost about to lose from both ends as his wife who takes care of the daughter remains in prison until July 7.      


Last two Sundays ago was Father's Day , I really truly hope that fathers used that day to reflect and understand the real responsibility of fatherhood. It is the hardest job for a man but it gives the greatest reward if you do your best at it.


As a father , I have realized that it is not possible to outsource that role of a father and not pay heavy fines.  


May God heal that Ike Ekweremadu's daughter and may God help the Ike Ekweremadu family in this their difficult time. I know it is a difficult place for them. 

May God help all fathers to realise that "your child is your responsibility". 


That you pay all the bills and have a devoted and responsible wife/mother of your child won't still make up for your negligence. 


Your child is your responsibility and not even your ambition can replace what you will miss if you neglect your role in the life of your child. 


This a lesson to all fathers: Do not behave like Senator Ike Ekweremadu who was literally chasing rats around the house when his house was on fire.


May God help us all to succeed and may our children not develop kidney failure. May our labour of love and sacrifice be rewarded in our life time and when we are long gone, Amen.

Ekweremadu's daughter is a grown lady. She should responsible for her life style . it's not as if she needed money and he didn't give her.
He didn't kill his own father, now his daughter wants to kill him.

So he shouldn't live his life again because his daughter needs another kidney?
If he didn't stand with her he won't be in custody in London

Where is the optimism and coming from? From your war chest?

ken6488:
Putin na grand master oo

For those asking what concerns Putin
Have you forgotten the rubbish sanctions on Russia It back fire on Europe

Most countries leader will be changed

Please don't quote me if you don't understand what is going on

After blabbing that Putin will be removed in a coup guess who is about to be removed from office

USA don't trust Joe again

I pity Ukraine most leaders will start withdrawal of support

This is just a tip till when winter comes in Europe

List of victims
Bulgaria
UK

I wonder who is next


Note: I love democracy and I don't like dictatorship, but I also hate hyprocrites

What are you saying they almost removed Germany Chancellor because of they felt he wasn't supporting Ukraine enough

Where are the terrroritds?

Tinubuagbado:
So peter is no more Ipob?

And IPOB is no more against Peter Obi?

Its now that peter gave labour party money?

Coming from a terrible Known tribalist claiming activist. What did he achieve as an activist as he claims? Collecting money from people and selling them off.

Perhaps he's angry that PETER OBI didn't give him shishi.


I think that SOWORE IS BEHIND this your username.

#we no dey give shishi.

Enemies of a better Nigeria at work.

As expected all those fraudulent activists will acuse Peter obi of one thing or the other because Obi no dey give shishi.

Peter Obi is not Ikoyi Bullion van.

Me Obituaries.
If he had said Tinubu paid millions to be Apc candidate you won't have any issue with that.

See the mans face.

I bet his saying in his mindto Nigerians, " Right back you fuckers."


That's just 1- 1999

Our yahoo boys are still leading

Pakute:
Obi is a fraud. A fraud that says infrastructure doesn't drive economy.

And ipobs are hailing him

start

PresidObi:
But in truth, I had been rating Fashola very high before this past few weeks.

I even forgave his goof about "power not being rocket science " but what he is saying now makes me think he doesn't really know much.

Oga no nation is an Island for a refinery or steel company to function well you need roads leading to the them. Won't you first construct the infrastructure that'll make the place accessible?

Look at Dangote Refinery, Without good road how can they bring in all those equipment? .

Good roads give lands value. Imagine a remote area. Once govt construct asseccible road, people will start buying land and business opportunities will start coming in even the land price will start
Having increase value
Imagine what infrastructure like stable power will do for our economy?

Zandena:
Even God will soon shut you out if you don't repent for trying to support and entrench disaster cum calamity called Osibanjo as presidential flagbearer of APC !

The real calamity is Tinubu.

If PYO had won the primaries, Peter Obi won't be this popular online and Yorubas would have been proud to support a Yoruba .

Yet Anambra could elect this man governor

Faber:
Godwin Maduka of Las Vegas pain Institute is the highest paid doctor in the world.

How many of these doctors you mentioned above can boast of $1 billion in their account

jmoore:
Chukwuma Innocent is from Nnewi, same as Joe Igbokwe.
Innoson Motors headquarters is in Nnewi.


Tonimas is in Aba.

Saclux paints is in Aba.

His mate is the owner of Tiger food spices which is located in Onitsha.


Ariaria, Onitsha main market and many other markets in southeast have produced many millionaires.


What about Cutix cable also in Nnewi where Joe Igbokwe comes from.

The list is endless.


Joe Igbokwe is the real definition of EFULEFU!!!

Even those companies in the East you mentioned still depend on Lagos market to sell their product.

You'all should stop hating

When and where did this happen?

inoki247:
We av the raw materials are we the one refining it or na the raw u wan dey pour for the Bus or your car...

Stop using emotion to reason nd use Logic the Govt purposely didn't revive doz Refinery so that dey can always av a beta Avenue to steal....


So if the Govt isn't fixing our refinery you think we the masses won't bare the brunt....

And US also av fuel and refine dem sef nd fuel is still costly dere....


If our refinery isn't working you can't get fuel at a cheap rate cos na imported fuel we dey use...

Gas is cheaper in the U S compared to Nigeria.

In the US, I can use public transport. It's highly cost effective than using my personal car.
There are many things to can avoid when gas price goes up.
You won't have to use generator to generate power.
You can also decide to use public transport.

Govt also give real and verifiable bailout to citizens unlike Nigeria where it's only given on TV.

And gas is sold per gallon in the US. A gallon approx. 4 litres

Nigerians are highly docile in responding to government harsh policies.

At this time something like this can cause a large protest elsewhere
But since the service they render is not that impactful. I have not been on BRT this year so
In times like this, what responsible govt do is reduce public fares as palliative to cushion the hard economy the created with their inefficiency.

Cantonese:
Yet the happily get their voters card ready to vote APC for continuity.

With APC leadership, Nigeria is fast on the path of the American prediction of a breakup.

It is a very big embarrassment on this nation. The nation has descended to the level of countries like Mali, Niger, Chad and Afghanistan. Chaos, fear and threat remain the order of the day.

When the head is rotten, it affects the whole body. Buhari 's leadership style and the corrupt structure of politics in Nigeria is what's causing Apc failure

Why should a president be the leader of a political party?

The party should be supervising your government to make sure it policies keeps to the parties manifesto.

And possibly withdraw their mandate from you when you err as a president

You giving them more fund to but more sophisticated weapons!

Where was the Govt in all this?

400m is not an amount to be paid in cash except if they meant over a period.

The movement of the money ought to be traceable

What does all those we've been voting know?

What does she know about governance?
