For the first time, these BATists are making a point worth listening to.

It happened to ADC. Because Peter Obi wasn't affected, many of us kept quiet.

They tested the waters with one party. It seemed to work. Now similar constitutional arguments are finding their way toward Obi.

This should force a national conversation—not just about Peter Obi, Atiku or Amaechi—but about legality, common sense and the kind of constitutional democracy we want to build.

Peter Obi has consistently presented himself as someone who wants to play by the Constitution. Ironically, it is now the same constitutional ambiguities that can be turned against him.

The law exists for man; man does not exist for the law.

We the people cannot continue to be trapped by constitutional loopholes that frustrate progress while pretending that every outcome is acceptable simply because it can be defended legally.

Governors complain about control over security. Local governments fight for genuine financial autonomy. Communities in the Niger Delta still struggle to see justice over decades of oil exploitation. Courts make far-reaching political decisions on technical grounds. Institutions keep stretching constitutional provisions to justify outcomes that leave citizens wondering whether justice was actually served.

We normalize these things when they happen to "the other side." Then one day, the same precedent comes for our own.

We the people have to decide when enough is enough. We need a Constitution that reflects today's realities, protects democracy, and works for everyone—not just one party or one administration.

"I appreciate they're not paid as much as perhaps back in the UK, but overall the service is generally good, so when it's good they deserve a good tip," he said

These guys must be suffering from bad service in that America.

In Nigeria, the service standard is expected to be good.
That's the effing reason we came to you!

If the service is great, good for you.
Great customer service leads to continuous patronage.

Tipping just depends on how the customer feels at the time.
No matter how great and exceptional your service is, it's primarily for the good of your own business.
No worker DESERVES a tip.
They DESERVE pay rise from their boss.
Saying they Deserve it, puts customers under undue pressure to guilt-tip.

PS.
Some weeks ago, I went to deliver a furniture to our client.
When we got to his apartment, I and his security man, lifted the heavy table up a 4-storey building to his living room.
He tipped the security in my presence...I stayed did the table set-up and the fellow young man only gave me Thank you.

It's not my job to take the item upstairs, but I was willing to do it... The tipping of one of us, came after the job was done.
Thank you was ok for me.
My own tip was in the service charge already.

Be willing to give exceptionally great service for just a Thank you.

However, your wages/salary should worth the effort it takes to give a great service.

In this 2026, No picture of Toolkit, or program participants, women empowerment without any image to show.
No mention of the contents of the Toolkit.

NASENI is a govt agency, yet it's empowering only 50 people - women, out of the millions of people in Kano.

What are we supposed to do with this plausible story?!

Reminds me of those "car spotters" around the island.
What's the quality and impact of such content?

However, it takes wisdom to see an opportunity online, capitalise on it and earn legally from the system.

Hahahahahaha

Actor don switch role sharperly

What da hell!!!

Global warming is still a joke to y'all?

The perfect time is building up.
Everything is falling into place to push the people to resistance.

There's definitely no locus standi.

Even if you give PMP the approval for the "Victory symbol", they are neither a registered political party, nor participating in the upcoming election.

There's no clash of interest here.
...and no basis for NDC to suffer a consequent loss to any effect.


Well, let's not worry about it.
It's not LEGALLY and ILLEGALLY possible that Peter Obi will not be on the ballot.


It is said, that: Before a dog dies carelessly, it first loses it's sense of smell.

Is this image true of Lionel Messi?

Lithiumite:
Bros the justice system is f'd up,if you have to go to court you will be remanded for atleast 2 weeks before you can even sort your bail which will still set u off about 200 to 250k atleast.....2 arduous weeks in confinement is no joke and the police guys knows no one will be willing to go through that excruciating experience so they use that fear to their advantage.

What does the Law say?

All these unfounded fears about AI

What amount of water and land is needed, compared to the land and water that's all over the world?!

Tomorrow if an Igbo person contests for a fair and elective position outside the South East, it becomes a problem for us.

Well I understand the geopolitical sentiments however, we should be Nigeria First. Then and only then, can we all mingle freely and take ownership in wherever we are, and contribute to that immediate society.
All of Nigeria belongs to ALL OF US.

Counterigbolies:
but u can read now

He purchased all the forms thereby stoping others from obtaining it

How can one purchase ALL the form?

Every up to date member can purchase a form...they just have to print another copy.
They'll all be screened for the next stage.

AMINDA:
Posting false videos that have been debunked by the party involved only weakens Obi's campaign. I'm sure if you look around, you can find enough people who support Obi's campaign and stand by it. Word of advice.

Dino doesn't even have the pedigree to be used as a worthy bait.
His political antecedent undermines the movement... but we are all inclusive for a better Nigeria.

How does it work?
How do we do the swith over to your vendr

helinues:
We actually have no issue with those saying Tinubu must go. The insecurity in the country must have warranted that.

Now, who is the better alternative to president Tinubu?

If you mentioned Atiku or Obi, then you might be visited by thunder

Tell us better alternative apart from those 2 clueless above

There're no better candidates in Nigeria.
Let your Tinubu keep dealing with you till 2031.

Selah!

I will be in Night School by then.

Thank God I don't have to choose btwn Nigeria and JO.

blessurance:
My issue with this statement is why was this not the mindset during Buhari's first 4 years which was marred with insecurity and herdsmen crisis?

Nigerians criticized Buhari heavily during his first term, so I don't agree that he enjoyed some special patience. The criticism was loud, many former supporters withdrew their backing, and strong opposition emerged.

The bigger issue is that we have normalized the idea that every president deserves 8 years regardless of results. Jonathan wasn't guaranteed a second term. Buhari shouldn't have been guaranteed one. Tinubu shouldn't be guaranteed one either.

Nigeria's challenges are difficult, but citizens also have a right to say they have seen enough and want a different approach. Democracy is not about enduring failure until a second term is completed; it is about periodically deciding whether the current direction is working.

Capitalism in play.

It's all about the Benjamins

Has Pres. Tinubu-Jagaban fixed the problems of Nigeria?
Even as an insider, Late PMB was overwhelmed.

I was in the cab today, I and the driver got talking bout politics, than he gave me an innocent example that kinda caught me off guards.
He said...his madam gave him a sumptuous meal, as she usually does, dished in a plate.
He had been full already, as he had eaten from home....but in order not to make the boss feel bad, he took the meat, and ate in front of her, and took the rest outside, and gave to the security man.
After eating the food, the security man later complained to him, that there was no meat inside..........
Instantly, I concluded that the security man was an ingrate.
Then he retorted, that that's how we Nigerians have been towards the president.
His point is contestable on semantics, but I didn't have the luxury of time...

In summary, he - and speaking for some Yorubas, believes that the problem of Nigeria is so overwhelming that you won't know until you're inside, and realize that even a president can't solve it easily, even in 4yrs.

He said he'll vote whoever he likes, but he's not expecting a Messiah that will come do miracles. Everyone should protect their own personal interest.

He's from Ilorin, talked about how he was driving with fear when he travelled for an occasion recently.
No time to persuade him but I did let him know that we can't continue to live with the problems. Other countries are solving theirs.
We should vote for a leader that is willing to try to make things better.

At the end of the day, it's not about party or sentiments.
Ww have tried President Tinubu, we've seen his hands in 4yrs.
Do you want to continue like this or we want to try another hand come 2027.
We've seen Tinubu, let's try another every 4yrs until we get leadership right.

Nigeria my country with frail democracy.

I had thought President Tinubu would have used his Presidency and financial warchest to leave a legacy of good governance as we dreamt of MKO Abiola.

Then you step up and be a party leader.
For now, NDC just have individual supporters, there's no know party ideology.

Are you people the opposition?
The 3rd force? Just another party...?

Even Labour party, sold the ideology of Concern for the Masses.

What does NDC stand for?

Dickson should unify and lead the party, not trying to protect his ex-pdp internal interests with the fundings and support from the Obidients

This unauthorized takeoff is one hell of a risk.
Which tower are you communicating with, what level are you flying at. Who cleared you to fly at that altitude, do you have visibility and navigation guidance...?

Arrest that guy, and investigate that flight.

Rest in Jesus's name!

Unu zukwaniiiike.

Crying everywhere over - will soon - future tense.

Does the fall of NDC mean the rise of standard of living in Nigeria?!

Make una no use rough break Ronaldo World Cup leg o.
If not, we'll substitute him out.

Friendly should be friendly.
No be Ronaldo make una no qualify for World Cup.
