donphilopus: 24 states. Obi win 13 states? You guys are just so delusional.
.
You are being myopic and intelligently backward. Obi will have outright win in at least 13 states ,with more than 25 percent of votes from 11 other states to fulfill the 24 states requirements. It is sure for Obi more than what you think
This 1999 constitution says the winner must come with the majority votes, with at least 25 percent of votes casted in each of at least 18 states of the federation. Obi will win in at least 13 states
Kukah got it wrong this time. Most terrorists in Nigeria are Muslims. Voting a Muslim Muslim ticket means a subtle win for these Islamic terrorists. Nigeria is not yet ripe for a single religion presidency. An average Muslim places his belief above ethnic affinity, so does a xtian. As a Yoruba, I will vote a party that reflects my religious beliefs.
His name is Reverend Edward Koye-Ladele. At various times, he didn't hide his hatred for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
He constantly mocked him with his health status until barely two weeks ago. Today, Reverend Koye-Ladele is DEAD!
When will people learn not to mock people on health grounds? When will we stop to play God?
May God console the family members of Edward Koye-Ladele.
People of God, do not, I repeat, do not mock or wish dea*th on a soul you cannot create.
So when does death becomes a negativity? If he said tinubu will not be able to meet up with the challenges of being the president because of health issues, does that mean he meant that tinubu should die?
cherishmichael: One side story, this can not just be the whole story, though he is wrong, but when something happens like this we should learn to know and relate from both sides. At the end , the diseased might be wrong and even be the cause.
Whatever might be the reason for killing her is no longer tenable in law.
When a partner is 4 to 5 years older, you are virtually in the same age grade. So if she treats you someone, it means there wouldn't have been much difference if you were older.
The narrative that tinubu developed Lagos is for people who are myopic and intelligently backward. Trace the history of Lagos since independent.Even during military rule military governors also made their impact during their short stay . Tinubu only took advantage of the democratic setting to make all the glory available for himself and his cohorts . Lagos is a state that automatically develop itself as event unfolds. Talking about generation of revenue, we know the major beneficiaries in Lagos,and replicating such in Nigeria is a disaster. But despite all these , Tinubu is a lesser evil to Atiku. But as for me and my household we shall be Obedient. As a Yoruba xtian living in the North, I will not vote a party that does not reflect the diversity of Nigeria.
The writer should not castigate akeredolu. How many igbo leaders have really proved themselves worthy of the position? Igbo leaders did not form a formidable front,hence the emergence of tinubu in apc. However,the obidiènt movement will right the wrong.
dMomenTographer: OBASANJO RIDES KEKE NAPEP - A BRIEF HIGHLIGHT OF BABA AT 85 FREE KEKE PROGRAMME.
Saturday, 02 July 2022
In Celebration of Baba@85 and as part of the Youth Empowerment programme (anchored by the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Youth Centre), the Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo rode one of the "Keke Napeps" (a.k.a Maruwa/Tricycle) to Kuto Abeokuta with passengers on-board.
The journey started from his OOPL residence to Kuto underbridge while picking up random passengers ( who were beyond excited to be driven by the former president) along the way. It was such a beautiful moment to behold.
In all, 85 young people greatly benefited from the Baba@85 Free Keke Programme.
#TheMomenTographer #DanielSync #Baba@85 #Obasanjo
This reminds me of one yeye minister of transportation during obasanjo's regime. He said Nigerians should be riding bikes within the metropolis.
He had the chance to put this country on the right track, he didn't, he was busy trying to make 3rd term possible for himself.
Would Nigeria not have been better off with an obasanjo third term? Of all past and present presidents, name one that truly governed this country well. If not for him, do you think this little technological development we are enjoying would have been possible?GSM was in operation in cotonu ten years before it got to Nigeria. A northerner once said telephone is not for the poor. OBJ has his own flaws really, but he is a great patrotic Nigerian.
StrongAlphMale: Cancelling the crusade is not enough. The likes of Adeboye, Kumuyi, Oyedepo etc should all speak up about the separation of Nigeria. This is getting out of hand, Nigeria should be divided with immediate effect and let everyone go their separate ways!. It is absolutely impossible joining people of different backgrounds, cultures, traditions and religions together as one. The Muslims deserve to live in the jungle with wild animals.
What division bro? The girl in question was a Northern Christian. How does the division of Nigeria stops this. The fact is that we laws that are it working, and our leaders are not sincere.
NaijaCowFarm: Leadership is not a popularity contest - Adams Oshomole
It is not arguable that Tinubu has a very large political structure. It is also not arguable that Tinubu can defeat Osinbajo in an Open Ballot system, but APC primaries are not going to be an open ballot system where people queue behind their candidates, rather it is going to be an Open-Secret Ballot system. In an open-ballot system, once I vote against you, you know, so I will be reluctant to vote another after assuring you or collecting your money. However, in an Open-Secret ballot, I can assure you that I will vote for you, collect your money yet vote my "heart".
Now on the day of the APC primaries, these are the facts that would be very clear:
Tinubu is too old to govern effectively: With the hindsight of Buhari's challenges, APC would rather go for a younger and much healthier candidate than an old and sick Tinubu. This is a clear advantage that Osinbajo would have. Most of the delegates would be easily swayed towards Osinbajo right inside the ballot cage, where they would thumb-print their ballot, fold it and come out openly to cast it in the ballot box. Mark you, it is going to be the same ballot box for all candidates, so you cannot know who was voted until the ballots are sorted and counted.
Tinubu's bad faith towards Ambode: The bad deed that Tinubu did to Ambode is still fresh in the minds of the governors, both single-term and second-term governors. it is on record that the governors overwhelmingly rejected the direct primaries simply because Tinubu and his men in NASS arranged to have them treated like Ambode. moreso, it was reported that the APC governor's forum led by Atiku Bagudu (who is still in charge by the way), went to Tinubu's residence in Abuja to beg and prostrate to the Jagaban to allow Ambode to complete his tenure, but baba shuns them. Now, he is running after the same Bagudu, even going to the Kebbi Lodge to beg then. They are sure to require their pound of flesh on behalf of Ambode.
Religious sentiments: Since 2015 Nigeria has been governed by a Muslim, Muhammadu Buhari. If another Muslim from the South takes over from Buhari in 2023, the Muslims would have had another 8 years, making a total of 16. Now when power returns to the North, obviously another Muslim would take over for another 8 years. In total, the Muslims would be president from 2015 - to 2039, a whopping 24 uninterrupted years. That is NOT FEASIBLE. Hence, rational as the delegates are, they would avoid such a trap that would easily hand power back to the PDP. The delegates would rather vote for Osinbajo than Tinubu.
Running mate wahahala: We all recall the challenges that Buhari faced in choosing a running mate in 2015. Buhari was under pressure to avoid the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015, even with over 10 million Northern votes in the kitty. Tells that with a Tinubu's candidacy, it would be tougher for APC. Firstly, Tinubu does not have the cult following that Buhari commanded in 2015. Secondly, the North would never accept a Northern Christian VP, this is an unwritten law. Adopting such would mean FAILURE in the North. Hence the only option that Tinubu would have is a Muslim-Muslim ticket, which would FAIL woefully at elections. Even APC NEC would advise against such a move. The obvious alternative would be Osinbajo.
Unaccounted Baggages: Accountability is the acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions. It implies a willingness to be transparent, allowing others to observe and evaluate one's performance. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Measured on these two words, Osinbajo would beat Tinubu by a clear distance. Firstly, Tinubu has held Lagos to a stranglehold for the past 23 years. He has made sure that his son controls all the key revenue-generating sectors of the state, the numerous toll gates, etc. His daughter controls all the markets in Lagos, his son-in-law is in NASS, and his wife is a senator for life, he receives 10% tithes from Lagos State. These are baggages that Nigeria's state cannot accommodate. Even now, he has closed NURTW in Lagos and handed it over to his cronies. Is this the type of person that Nigeria wants to give power over the nation and national treasury and power? Responsible delegates would avoid such a person because, when push goes to shove, Nigerians would be better off without such baggages. Hence the Osinbajo appeal would suffice.
Academic and foundational credence: Tinubu's state of origin, early education, age, and birth are all mysteries. Noone knows where he is from. Noone knows his father, no one knows where he got his first school leaving certificate nor his high school certificate nor diploma. All we hear is that he graduated from some University in the USA. There are those that say that his daughter is 61 years old while Tinubu is claiming 70 years old. That is a mystery too many to be overlooked. Hence Osinbajo would come as a sterling candidate to sell rather than a Tunubu with these baggages of unexplained mysteries.
Conclusion: Osinbajo would trounce Tinubu in APC primaries. However, APC may not form the next government, no matter who they field!
Another point to mention is the party chairman,who is a musiim from the North. Hence,the president,his vice and the party chairman cannot all be Muslims. But I think amaechi is the joker,and not osibanjo.
Ola Rotimi , exposed the evil in afonja land in his work "The gods are not to be blame"
How can a afonja fugitive boy Odewale killed his father unapologetically , just to marry his mother so to pound the same toto that birthed him and he did it.
Before Ola conceived this story and write it down, it was something that was rampant in afonja land.
Please my brothers in west side let's amend our ways.
Hire sense please. Ola Rotimi did not conceive the story. He copied it from an old Greek play called "Antigone" ,and he replicated the story in African setting.
Many felt bitter that, osibanjo in his declaration speech mentioned that he will consolidate on the achievement of his boss. Could he have said otherwise? When he knows that everyone is falling in line to have buhari's blessing. Besides, his winning the primary election will have to be with the effort of his boss. The more you decide to analyse his declaration, the less you understand. The 3 months he spent as the acting president can be used to evaluate him. Most Nigerians testified to the tranquility in the government during his reign as the acting president.
YemideyforYOU: 1. Osinbajo’s declaration speech was watery and baseless. First of all, how could he say he is running to “complete the task” that Buhari started? Buhari stated extreme poverty and overwhelming security for Nigeria. Under Buhari, our country’s debt has grown from ₦12 trillion in 2015, to almost ₦50 trillion this year (if the new ₦6 trillion loan requests are granted. If Osinbajo is running to “complete” that, then he is running to destroy what is left of Nigeria!
2. Osinbajo said he is running to “provide jobs for millions”. Those were his exact words. The fellow has been in charge of Nigeria’s economy for the last seven years, according to Buhari, who boasted that Osinbajo heads his economic management team. Yet, Nigerians have lost jobs created by other administrations. His job record is FAILURE! Nigeria has fewer jobs now than in 2015, and our unemployment rate has increased from 12% in 2015 to 33% according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
3. Osinbajo said he wants to “birth the expectations of greatness” for Nigeria. Under his leadership of Buhari’s economic management team, Nigeria became the world headquarters for extreme poverty. We do not need Osinbajo’s type of ‘expectation’!
4. Osinbajo in his declaration speech said he “remained focused on securing the country”. That is an insult to the intelligence of Nigerians. Under Osinbajo and Buhari, Nigeria became the 3rd most insecure nation on Earth. Only Iraq and Afghanistan are worse than us. We just witnessed a train bombing and the abduction of over a hundred Nigerians who are still with terrorists. Over 700 of our soldiers have been killed in the last 18 months. If that is what Osinbajo’s focus produces, then we don’t need it!
5. For years, Osinbajo has been posing as an intellectual. So, at the very least, we expected his declaration speech to be filled with his achievements in office. But it was instead filled with promises. Empty promises. Because he and Buhari have no achievements to show for their wasted seven years!
6. Osinbajo fooled us with his empty promises in 2015. Now, he is making new promises. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Don’t forget how he was doing Trader Moni during the last elections. Did he not abandon it after he and Buhari rigged themselves to a second term?
7. In summary, Osinbajo’s declaration speech was as short as him, because he has no achievements, no plans, and no priorities. The only thing he has are promises. And let us not forget that this was the same man who promised to create 3 million jobs annually. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. And Osinbajo’s past betrays him as an echo of Buhari’s cluelessness!
#TableShaker
You only succeeded in shaking yourself my boy! What do you want him to say? That the present administration did not do well? Please anyone that has the fear of God should judge osibanjo by the 3 months he held sway as the acting president. Everyone in APC knows the flagbearer will be imposed. So forget his speech on continuity.
ijustdey: Meanwhile, in preparation for the battle to pick the APC ticket, the Osinbajo camp has already opened a campaign office at 15B Buchanan Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja.
Well , tinubu is osibanjo and osibanjo is tinubu. Tinubu is so great today, because osibanjo has been his master crack boy. Osibanjo is great today because tinubu shouldered him.

[quote author=Cantonese post=111497681]If you are a graduate and you are not involved in any form of crime; if you earn your income legitimately, no matter how little; have you not been affected by bad leadership? Why are you not involved in any crime? Now that also goes for those who have not been properly educated.
Look, no matter how poor leadership is, crime is an act that arises from the heart. If you put your heart to it, do not blame your leaders.[/quote
In all entirety you are right, but am i mean external factors inducing crime. Criminology tends to know why people exhibit criminal behavior. Majority of its theorists believe people are criminally inclined mostly because sociophysical factors beyond them. Nigeria today is all about survival of the fittest. The leaders are part of the blame. The Bible says if the foundation is faulty, what shall the righteous do? Shakespeare said " who is so firm that can never be seduced". Who knows that kyari can be involved in crime? There are thousands of him taking day to day decisions in the affairs of this country. So when condemning criminal acts , we have to discourage the factors inducing it. That is why i mentioned the leadership of this country and all of us.
It is so disturbing that a mother would encourage her child to get involved in criminal acts like yahoo, hard drugs, prostitution, ritual killing and armed robbery. One wonders what such desperate women plan to achieve with their acts of greediness. When caught they cry and a lot of times claim poverty as their reason.
Parents no longer tell their children “remember the child of who you are”.
Sometimes I tend to believe that poverty is a choice. Those people who choose to do menial jobs and keep their sanity and integrity are not stupid. Slow and steady wins the race, as they say.
These days our youths are so greedy and impatient to drive Mercedes cars. Their lazy parents use their children as tools to achieve what they out of their lazy lives failed to achieve. The result is what we see today with many parents getting arrested with their children and getting jail sentences.
In the end, their names already damaged by their involvement in crimes, gets worse, as no one wants to relate with that family anymore.
By the way, how was this woman feeling during her court hearing with her son as her co-accused? What a big shame.
You should also use this strength to condemn the leaders that turned the country to what it is today. Don't forget 60% of these boys are graduates that are not given a levelled ground. Kidnapping, banditry ,internet froud etc are all the result of bad leadership.
[ Be careful bro! According to sections 7,8 and 9 of Criminal Act of FGN, you procured,conspired,and assisted the thief to commit a crime of theft. If caught you are liable to be given the same punishment. I doff my cap, for your combination of letters.
HopeSpencer: I saw a thief in action two days ago. It happened at the main gate of a 4-Star hotel called BEGONIA hotel in Oyo town. The hotel is located along Oyo-Ibadan expressway.
About 8:20 pm that day, I was passing by the main gate of the said hotel when a guy standing in front of the gate signalled to me for a ride; I'm into Okada riding business. The street was without any passerby at the time except me, who was loitering to pick up passengers. The guy asked me to wait and he quickly went back into the hotel and resurfaced about 3 seconds later with a loaded 50 litres jerrican probably filled with diesel or engine oil. He quickly sat on my bike, dragged the jerrican, and placed it on the passenger's foot rack.

"Speed off in this direction", he shouted at me without telling me his destination let alone giving me the chance to negotiate the price for the journey.
"To where?" I asked.
"Express", he shouted at me again with the air of mounting irascibility.
That 'Express' he mentioned is a trailer park along the expressway, a thriving market for bunkered petroleum products. The direction he asked me to take was not straightforward. We had to follow some obscure streets before getting back to the expressway.
Then the insults began when he asked me to increase speed. I told him I was being cautious to avoid an accident because his heavy load was not balanced and I was using great efforts to steer the bike to safety. Then he said other riders have been engaging in high speed despite the load with ease.
Speaking my mother's tongue, "Your ilk should never be found as an Okada rider because only old men approaching the grave ride this way. I needed to get out of sight within split-seconds and you were acting like a dumb rider", he said.
He later asked me to stop in front of a shop, took the loaded jerrican inside and came back 5 minutes later. He told me his new destination, while raining more invectives on me. I had to be patient with him so that he could pay his transport fare in full -- someone that could boldly steal in a location with CCTV cameras may decide not to pay to me the amount of money I was yet to tell him. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that the guy, in connivance with an insider, just stole something from the hotel.
I checked the hotel's website for a contact through which I can report the theft or whatever that is, and I found an email and phone numbers probably under the manager's control. If they are putting their CCTV to good use, they won't need me to report the theft. I was not trying to report the theft as a good citizen; I needed to get back at the thief because of the insults I suffered without being able to reply him. Good riddance!
Useless MOG! Ogun Kee you there. This same tunubu that doesn't see anything wrong with a Muslim/Muslim ticket. Later the same man will start complaining that Northern xtians are being killed and marginalized.
[quote author=Zetra7 post=110693910]Assessing the unhealthy condition one has experienced in this country, I think its a wise decision to volunteer and fight for Ukriane..
First, Nigeria has no future technically. It's a broken and divided country who doesn't even have a vision cause no one believe in the country..
Buhari is receiving medical in London while the wife is in Dubai for her birthday with the wives of Governors.
Social crisis, insecurity , corruption , religious and ethnic crisis , secession threats , rituals, armed robbery, kidnapping, unemployment and so on controls every sphere of this country..
Technically , this country is also at war..
Do you want me to state the number of casualties in the past one year, it runs in 10s of thousands...
How many causalities do we have in Ukriane?
Well let's face the fact, once taken as a volunteer, you will certainly fight, don't think this war will last long, either peace is negotiated or Russia takes over completely..
Either way, you would have served a country that will certainly reward you including the world which will honour you, as a volunteer ,you have right to stay in Ukraine if they win and eventually get your EU citizenship which is definitely coming..
Secondly, if Russia takes over the country, you can play the foreigner card and make your way to Poland. Never setting foot in Nigeria until you get the EU citizenship...
What if you get hurt in Ukriane?? Well, you can also get hurt in Nigeria.. It's still a clear 50:50 probability...
Let's see what the Embassy of Ukriane says in the coming days..[/quote
