This is not a contest about who understands or writes better in Hausa.

I speak and write in Hausa. I took Hausa as a subject in school. So, don't try to create a distraction. Besides, not everyone who was born or raised in the North speaks or understands Hausa. There is no law mandating that in Nigeria.

How come I asked you who your father was in my response, If I didn't understand or couldn't read things in Hausa?

The matter is simple. Show proofs that bandits have taken control of the said senatorial districts. Why would you want to continue arguing with me when you've got no facts to sustain your lies?

Jeka ci abinci ka huta, baka da abin da zaka ce.

Mtchewww.

So, there aren't human beings in these places?

There is insecurity even where you are. And where I am too. Insecurity is a global challenge.

Who is your father too? Who knows or cares about him? Nonsense!

Zamfara, Kastina, Niger and all the places you mentioned are hot beds now, just as Borno, Yobe were sometime ago. Even Anambra, Imo etc, got really bad recently. All that is needed is to step up military action.

But to say that those places are outrightly under bandits control is very untrue. Forget about google. You can use Google. The places you mentioned are in Nigeria, I do not need goggle to know them.

Could you show me pictures of established control camps of bandits' in these areas? Do you know what it means to take control and administrate several LGAs? Do you even know how many LGAs make up a senatorial district? What impressions do you seek to give about our military?

If you say that those areas are hot beds now, I will agree with you. But to say that they are under bandits control....that is very incorrect.

CoolAmbience:
I say it again...no senatorial district is under bandits control.

Stop the lies!

To think that you believe that the average Northerner can't tell a Yoruba from an Igbo shows how desperate you are to sell your lies.

I was born and raised in the North. I have spent my entire life living, working and doing business all across the country...so, you can't sell your lies to me.

It is obvious that you are the child here. Name those senatorial districts under bandits control. I challenge you.

CoolAmbience:
So because Northern Christians make up about 30%, you think Tinubu won't get their votes?

Where are your figures? No Senatorial district is under bandits hold. Stop the unnecessary sensationalism.

Only a person who is not well informed will say Buhari has performed woefully. Insecurity is a challenge, but to say that Buhari has performed woefully...that is a big fat lie.

The projects are everywhere...from Bonny-Bodo Bridge, Calabar-Itu Highway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Warri-Itakpe Railway, 2nd Niger Bridge etc.

NigeriaIsGreat:
no amount of fact i put forward that will convince Okoro. Y'all are crying over Tinubu choice of VP claiming he shot himself

Like if Tinubu pick Jesus Christ or pope you Okoro will vote for him


Biko vote your obituary let me vote my Agbado in peace

CoolAmbience:
Lol.

If you like follow SDP and NRC...

2023 is not too far again....

You seem not to reckon with the Buhari influence. Anyone doing this, does so at his own peril.

Do you know what it means to win against Osinbajo? If Tinubu would have been stopped, it should have been at the primary.

Forget the Northern Christian thing....it isn't a key factor. Don't get carried away by the noise. Tinubu's wife is a Christian too.

Where were the so-called Christians, from either the North or South, during the primaries when Tinubu floored Amaechi and Osinbajo together? Didn't the delegates know that Osinbajo was contesting? Did they consider that Buhari, the sitting president, is a moslem, hence a christian should emerge as presidential candidate instead?

Anyone who follows Tinubu knows that the man cares less about religion. He is like me. Religion is private. Sanwoolu was installed by Tinubu; he is a Christian. Fashola is like that too. If aren't told the faith they belong to, you'd never know. This is because these things don't matter in governance. There are no christian roads, or moslem airports.

It is people like Tinubu, that are moderate with their faith, that Nigeria needs. We must remove religion from our public life, and put it in its rightful place of sacredness and privacy.

NigeriaIsGreat:
illusion

CoolAmbience:
Lol.

Oga, Northerners will vote Tinubu.

Do not deceive yourself.

Even by what they say online, they favour Tinubu.

It certainly can't be all of them supporting Tinubu, online or offline. But Tinubu has very good support in the North. I tell you this for a fact.

jumper524:
15 states are certain while the rest 5 is still skeptical for now.

All Northwestern states.
All southwest states.
4 northeast states.
3 Northcentral states.

Northwestern states. [/b]I was skeptical about this but the reality is that the Buhari support base are all clamouring for Tinubu. The Northwestern governors coupled with Buhari are all rooting for Tinubu. With elrufai as campaign DG, there's absolutely nothing the 419 tambuwal can do for Tinubu in this region.

[b]Verdict.
Tinubu is expected to win all northwest state and also getting block votes from kano and Katsina. He might likely struggle with Atiku in sokoto but is expected to still win.

South-West: don't even go there. There's nothing any political opposition can do about this region. They should count it out of there equation.
Verdict: Tinubu to monopolize this region.

Northcentral: Tinubu is expected to win 3 states from this region, however only 1 state is certain which is kwara state. But he's most likely to win kogi and Niger.

Verdict: Tinubu to win kwara and kogi while also dragging Niger with Atiku.

Northeast: Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Yobe should go to tinubu no doubt about it. However Atiku would likely pull an upset in 2 of the four states. Bauchi and gombe most likely.

Verdict: Tinubu to clinch at least 3 states from this region.

Many people online who are less informed about grassroot politics would ask how I expect Tinubu to dominate Northern regions when the likes of Kwankwaso and Atiku who are from there and are contesting the ballots.
Well like I said, they are less informed about grassroot politics until they do research themselves and see kwankwasiya cult followers all praising the jagaban or go to zaria to see northerners all praising the jagaban.
Majority of northerners calls tinubu jagaban for reason best known to them but the fact remains that the love is massive for the jagaban.

Anticipate the 2 million match for jagaban in Kano state. Then una go believe the weight.

Heavyweight indeed.



Ment. All the big churches are in Lagos. Have they been islamised yet? Na ment? A good brain would know that since Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone. Stop limiting politics and competency to religion.

Like, you could see the high strides which Tinubu achieved in Lagos such as his legacies which include Lekki seaport, lekki trade zone, BRT, Eko Atlantic, BRT terminal, high increase in Lagos revenue even at the time Obasanjo withheld Lagos allocation for several years yet Tinubu made Lagos' thrived regardless. But rather than look at these, you're limiting Tinubu to his religion. How is Peter Obi who's got no achievement whatsoever better than Tinubu's enormous legacies in Lagos? Na ment? Tinubu is a first class graduate of accounting whereas Peter Obi is only a D pass graduate of philosophy.

Also, Tinubu is the most liberal leader who always ensure he brings in intelligent talents to nurture and work with him, irrespective of their religion or Tribes. People such as Fashola, Sanwo Olu, Osinbajo, Igbokwe etc..

Point is most Yoruba Muslims are different from the Northern Muslims. They don't allow religion to cage them. Personally, I hope for when religion would only be limited to home and religious houses because that's where it belongs. By limiting religion to only homes and religious houses, this would create more secular carefree avenue for people to use their brain to think outside of the box and improve their environment. Religion or non religion shouldn't be a determinant in any of our settings. Competence should always be championed and should be the main determinant.

Now on the question why Tinubu chose a Northern Muslim despite being a Muslim. It's a political strategic move. He chose a Northern leader from the core North which happens to be a Muslim since almost all the Northern leaders are Muslims anyway.

You all know that most of the leaders in the South are Christians while Muslims are the majorities in the North. Let imagine for example that a Northern Christian happened to get the presidential ticket of a huge platform, who do you think he would choose as his deputy in the South? Of course a popular Southern who may eventually end up being a Christian. Why? Because majority of the leaders in the South are Christian hence choosing one of the popular Southern leaders could end up being a Christian. That was exactly what Tinubu did. It's a political strategic move.

That's why religion shouldn't be a determinant in any settings because it's only a personal thing. Imagine if Shettima was only seen as a Northern Nigerian while Tinubu was seen as a Southern Nigerian. That already balanced the equation and criteria needed instead of bringing in religion into the prism. Point is when you look at Europe, American and Canada, they don't care about your religion whether you're Christian, Muslim or Atheist. What they care about is your competence irrespective of your religion. You wouldn't care about the religion of a doctor who's to operate on you but his competence. Religion shouldn't be a ticket for you to get your way out of your incompetence and I'm talking about Peter Obi who achieved absolute nothing in his Anambra state.

Meanwhile, I believe Tinubu chose Shettima as his deputy because Zulum was Shettima's protégé. Zulum would have been the perfect fit but he wanted a second term as a governor hence Shettima. This isn't about religion.

FreeStuffsNG:
If PDP wants to have them just to get Northen minority votes, then they will not get much

apache22b:
I pity those who will not vote Tinubu in 2023.
They will all regret the true dividends of democracy if they miss this Golden opportunity to make it right. Only Tinubu can salvage Nigeria again

matrixme:
Chai! We bin know all these fish English and scientific names for university that time oo, but Buhari don make us forget.
EDIT: I don get am. Protopterus annectens (West African Mudfish) Does it have like some whiskers under? They can live throughout the dry season out of water by burying themselves in the mud. Very rugged fishes

Mrkumareze:
Did you read the part where they want the power generated moved to National Grid for distribution? It means we haven't gotten the solution, distribution is a major issue in Nigeria

Moh247:



More Muslim died in the North under a Muslim Vice President like Namadi Sambo

More Christian died under Vice President Pastor Osinbajo

When Tinubu stepped down for a Christian twice and supported them with his Bullion van the thank you he got from Pastor Osinbajo and his Supporters was insult and betrayer

Tinubu was smart to pick a two terms Kanuri Borno State former Governor and a serving Senator to get NorthEast block votes

Nothing personal, politics is a game of numbers

babaolofin:
Let us wait till that time. So, they have given Senate President to Tambuwal. Which post have they zoned to South West?

seunmsg:
Congratulations to Senator Ibrahim Shettima. Looking at the level of loyalty and commitment he showed to Tinubu during the primary election, I’m not surprised at his nomination. He’s an excellent administrator and a loyal party man. He will make a good Vice President. With this, Tinubu’s presidency is a done deal.


With his nomination, APC should win Borno, Yobe and Gombe clearly. The party should also come second in Adamawa and with LP gaining momentum in Plateau and Taraba (two traditional PDP states), APC should win North East slightly over Atiku.

OhMyG0d:
Russia now has military bases in Central America, especially in Nicaragua. Their base in Cuba won't be activated for now.

BarrElChapo:
Haa. You knew him personally. Sorry for your loss

SmartPolician:
Human beings like attention. Even the new electoral law doesn't permit a flagbearer of one party to quit his present party and join another party in the same election season.

Kwankwanso won't step down for Peter Obi. Many young people and Christians will be disappointed if Peter Obi steps aside for Kwankwanso. We cannot ignore those demographics. That's the twist we are in now.

Everyone should be allowed to test their popularity. If this election goes free and fair, I foresee a runoff for the first time in Nigeria's presidential election.

SHINJA:
I thought Muslims in Southwest said there are no Christians in northern states..

We are waiting for APC Muslim-Muslim ticket...

God bless southsouth and southwest..

Aboki99:
Kwara, Niger, Kogi are majority Muslims. Jo's north is also a significant force in plateau. Only Benue is 95% xtians

Aboki99:
Why will a Muslim/Muslim ticket not work in Apc? Are xtians more than the muslims in the NW, NE, NC and SW? I concede they are in the SE and SS.

tbarrister:
You can't compare Nigeria to this countries and we've always been bigger than them by size. Well I thank God for things like NIN and PVC which were initiated by northerners because of doubting Thomas like you, you'll see the population growth in the north with your eyes

nuland:
The North see Osibanjo as a more dependable ally than any other Southern Candidate.
If the APC field him as their candidate and the South rally round him, he is beating Atiku cos he's sure getting up the 30-40% of the votes casts in the North.
However, i don't see that happening.
NO SOUTHERN CANDIDATE CAN DEFEAT ATIKU IN 2023!
The South failed to agree on what 'Power returning to the south' means. They weren't united enough..
I see the North is 2031 flying a 'North Central for President' Agenda.

alsudan:
Lovely guy, far better than Thiefnibu.

But him as Candidate of APC will be a walkover for Atiku.

The North are just waiting for APC to make that mistake so that they can use his Pastor title as Propaganda to finish him, and without the support of the SE/SS to back him up, the elections will be so one sided.
