Happening Now...

AS LOYAL DEPUTY SUBMITS PRESIDENT TINUBU'S NOMINATION FORM

Touted as a most loyal deputy to his boss, Vice President Kashim Shettima @officialSKSM has arrived at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre to officially submit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s @officialABAT nomination and expression of interest forms to the national officers of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) @OfficialAPCNg .

The Vice President, whose vibrancy, loyalty, partnership, support, competence, and performance in his deputizing role have been publicly acknowledged and appreciated by his boss, was received at the venue by a cross-section of state governors, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, among other political heavyweights.

Recall that the President and his vice polled over 8 million votes to emerge victorious in the 2023 general election.

This stage marks the beginning of President Tinubu's quest for a fresh four-year term in office.

May the Almighty God grant him victory.

"I ask all Nigerians, I beseech all our countrymen, irrespective of differences in political affiliation, religious persuasions, or sectional background, to support this nomination and, by the special grace of God, the candidacy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027."

You still haven't found a cure? I will advise you to check the hospital at Yaba left. They should be able to help you.

You need to realise that it is not normal to keep quoting someone that is not a moderator anf accusing him of hiding your posts. This thing has been going on for 3 years now and you need to urgently seek help before you strip yourself naked on the street.

A stitch in time saves nine.

It was the white apartheid government that gave guns to both sides to kill each other by the thousands in the 90's

I will quote my old posts, but it was even more serious than what I wrote below. I followed the events on the news back then.

POST 1D

Diplomacy

Chief MKO Abiola was involved in many diplomatic engagements, both in aid of Nigeria’s foreign policy and also for his own causes and beliefs.

Abiola undertook a diplomatic trip to South Africa to mediate between Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s Inkatha Freedom Party and Dr Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress in the early 1990s. It was part of Nigeria’s efforts to help in ending the black on black violence that was rampant in South Africa in the early 1990s.

Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi is the president of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and a major chief of the Zulu Nation. Nelson Mandela was (at that time) the vice president of the ANC (he later became the president) and a member of the Xhosa Nation.

There was serious violence between supporters of the IFP and supporters of the ANC and between Zulus and Xhosas in the early 1990s (c1990-1993) after the collapse of Apartheid. Lots of people died in the clashes.

Nigeria, which had invested a lot into the anti-Apartheid struggle, was very concerned about these black on black clashes and President Babangida sent Professor Wole Soyinka and later Chief M.K.O Abiola to make peace between both parties.

Chief Buthelezi’s IFP later joined the ANC in a Government of National Unity and Chief Buthelezi was made a minister in Mandela’s government. I strongly suspect that this is one of the reasons that Mandela invited Abiola to his inauguration (Abiola’s presence angered Abacha).

I strongly suspect that the “sworn enemy” that Mandela was referring to in this piece was Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi.

Former South African President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, on Saturday night in Abuja dedicated his Pan African Broadcast Heritage Award (PABHA) to the memory of the acclaimed winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential election Chief M.K.O. Abiola, whom he described as a great Nigerian.

Mandela, who was represented by the South African President, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, currently on a visit to Nigeria, described how he first came into contact with the Abiola.

He said President Ibrahim Babangida sent Abiola to mediate and talk to Mandela to reconcile with a sworn enemy of the African National Congress (ANC), who then was working against the interest of the party’s success at the poll.

Mbeki did not name the “sworn enemy” of the ANC, but said the late politician had since become their friend. He said when Abiola arrived, he (Mbeki) tried to get the message from Babangida, but refused, insisting that he must deliver the message to Mandela personally. Mbeki said he then took Abiola to Mandela to personally deliver Babangida’s message.

Mbeki said Abiola later told a story of the black ant to describe how dangerous the “sworn enemy” was to the ANC.

He said though the black ant was small, it could wreak much havoc if it had access to one’s clothing. He quoted Abiola as saying that it was easier to take care of the black ant than to allow it to wreak havoc.

The South African President explained that the message from Abiola made the ANC reconcile with the “sworn enemy”.

That was not Chief Abiola’s only international foray. He was involved in many causes around the world and he donated to many institutions around the world, especially in Africa and the Caribbean.

1994 crisis

The transition to democracy in South Africa was not smooth. There were all kinds of problems.

I have told you that there were serious clashes between the ANC of Nelson Mandela and their Xhosa supporters and the Inkatha Freedom Party of Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi and their Zulu supporters. Many people died. President Babangida had to send Chief MKO Abiola and later Professor Wole Soyinka to bring both sides together (Nigeria had invested too much in the liberation movements to see it scatter when victory was near).

Ishilove:
I have a feeling that if migrants leave, the South Africans will turn on themselves rather than confront the real cause of their problems

They did that in the 1990s before the migrants came (Zulu vs Xhosa wars, etc).

I couldn't even finish watching the video, the guy should try comedy, analysis is not for him.

🤣

This happens every election season, then it magically vanishes after the election because it is no longer needed.

It's very easy to understand what he's saying, but people twist things because of elections and then there's no longer any need to twist anything when the elections are over.

This is Merriam Webster. Look at definition 2.

I need to create a list of all these things (for my entertainment).

In June 2023, President Tinubu signed an ammendment to the Electricity Act into law. The new law allows states to issue licenses to companies to generate, transmit and distribute electricity within their states. The law says that the states must first enact a law to regulate electricity generation, transmission and distribution before they can take over the regulatory functions of the NERC.

The funny guy posts about Tinubu, Atiku and other politicians morning, afternoon and night (just check his posts), yet he thinks that his lord and saviour will not be talked about.

All politicians that want public office (and their followers) will be scrutinised. You can't run away from it. It comes with the job.

No politician is my lord and saviour, so I'm free to post about all politicians as I like and nothing will stop me.

Attempts to run away from scrutiny will always fail.

Throwback.

The lamentations of Jack.

Jack had been lamenting when rumours were circulating that Peter Obi was about to defect to another political party (he's an insider, so he probably already knew that the rumours were true).

Dr. El Mo PsyD @Drelmoatiku

The ADC organizing secretary must resign and step down immediately. We don't want him in this position. We'll do whatever it takes to remove him. We cannot have Peter Obi’s supporters involved in our 2027 campaign planning and coordination. He should follow Jackie Wayas's step and join Obi in ADC.

He must leave right away. Any remnants of Obi’s influence in the ADC NWC must be removed now.

In 2027, we won't tolerate this anymore. The Obidients are no longer allies but opponents, and we will treat them the same way we treat the APC and Bola Tinubu.

saintkel:
even if he did...is he not right?... every region in d country has produced a president except d south east. ...we don't want them to have biafra n yet dont want them to rule Nigeria....that's a paradox

Correction

The north-east has never produced a president or military head of state.

The south-east has produced a president and a military head of state.

Yes you have. You failed to get the ticket in 1992 and 2011.
