Lol... see Atiku that ran away like a coward because he didnt want to be disgraced by Kingsley, Fela and Oby. Now na only for Buhari side Atiku dey get power

Too sad that people like Prof Kingsley can't be president in a country like ours.

WisdomFlakes:
All these excuses are not making sense to me. I'm tilting towards Atiku candidacy. But something is just not right with that region's lackluster support, except maybe online. We just have to objectively admit that the level of mobilization for AtikuObi even in Obi's Anambra state is mediocre at best. Igbos are holding roadshows in Peckham for Atiku, but can't take the initiative to organize a solidarity rally for him in Anambra at Nnewi township stadium? Talk something else abeg.

Those rallies you talk about need to be organised by someone, and it usually cost money. Also, PDP is typically in the business of doing colourful rallies where people are paid, given bright coloured uniforms and different groups attend with unique attires; those PDP rallies cost a huge amount.. But this time, cashflow is the problem, PDP no longer has the key to the CBN vaults.

Another point to note is that people in the south (unlike northerners) always need some encouragement (money or gifts) before they leave their businesses to come witness politicians spewing trash. PDP doesnt have the financial war chest for that now, so they're waiting for the weeks closer to the election to organise their rally.

u don't knw what u saying, Johnathan did while buhari did not,... Get ur facts right

In 2011 when GEJ was very sure of winning Buhari, he didnt bother attending the debate, but Buhari did.

In 2015 when GEJ smelt that his hold on power was shaky, he humbled himself and attended the debate. But Buhari who had gained confidence on his victory arrogantly didnt bother.

2019, once again, Buhari has chosen not to attend. Atiku who also sees himself as victorious has arrogantly ditched the debates.

ogawisdom:
Atiku did the right thing, everyone will either vote Atikuobi or Buhari, why should he debate irrelevant candidates that won't win their LGA against him. Even if u put a monkey as pdp candidate he will easily win those irrelevant debator, the only opponent of atiku is Buhari. It's party politics baby.

The debators are irrelevant bc of their useless party put any of them as pdp candidate and he or she becomes instant hit

He should have still come and convinced Nigerians why they should vote him instead of 'wasting' their votes on the other candidates. Buhari at this time is like the defending champion, the people jostling for his seat should be able to tell Nigerians why we should vote them over the others. But then again, it a pride thing; the 2 big candidates in pride simply told Nigerians to go screw themselves.

As usual, the 2 political big wigs and slave drivers (apc and pdp) simply told Nigerians to go screw themselves.

All the exceptionally educated, enlightened and suitable candidates were present for a debate, even 1 suitable candidate was outside protesting why he was discriminated against by the system by not being invited. But of course, the 2 least educated, least qualified and most unsuitable candidates (interestingly both of the same ethnic extraction) simply did not show up because they knew they will win anyway. Afterall isnt Nigeria a shithole kakistocracy again?

This mompha dude seems to be suffering from severe inferiority complex. How can such an old man, probably in his mid forties, keep having these impulsive desires to prove to the world that he's rich?

And what exactly is the big deal with what he said?... How does using an F word make one a bad person?

deepwater:
....

Imagine the northern candidates refused to debate leaving the southern candidates to start speaking English. At the end, the winner of the election would still be from the North?

It is a pitiable situation to be born into a generation where the uneducated and uninformed decides and choose for the educated and informed citizens.
....

This sums it up, the govt system we practice in Nigeria is a kakistocracy!

Ziggylady:
How are you sure he is innocent?..because he said so?...i pity the mindset of most of you Nigerian males which always lands you in trouble with the law abroad.

Where did I say he was innocent?... Did you see the last line of my comment?

cococandy:
So because his mother died when she heard the news automatically means that he didn’t do it?

I’m sorry, the fact that he committed suicide does not prove him guilty or innocent. It actually does nothing except to subtlly manipulate the public into turning against his accuser.

All of you are making biased comments based on how you feel about his case. He may have even committed shoved for another reason.

I hope you read the bottom of my message where I said I wasn't holding brief for or defending anyone?... My comment was only in response to someone who claimed he must be guilty "cos a clear conscience fears nothing"

JasonScoolari:
A clear conscience fears no accusation.

Wait until you're set up, publicly humiliated and serially accused by several people (both friends and strangers alike) of a horrible crime you know nothing about. Wait until such a time when even your immediate family doesnt also trust your version of the story. And then we'd see whether you will be moved or not.


P.s I'm not holding brief for anyone.

Chizuru01:
Look at how low Africans has brought down themselves to the extent that going to America is now a criteria for them to criticize Atiku.

APC, sorry. The concept is voting out poverty from ASO rock not American nonesense

Isnt it the same man another group of Africans (including top govt officials) have been celebrating his visa and US visit for days now as an achievement?

You're right! Africans definitely didnt start fooling themselves today.

Lol.. Something isnt clear to me though. Is the author referring to gender roles or gender stereotypes?

It is finished...

The joblessness is this country is really alarming. The crowd of ordinary people who show up for these rallies even in the middle of the week speaks volumes.

Iamdmentor1:
GEJ PDP initiated and completed project

Hiw can road that is still under construction presently be marked as completed?

veykey:
Circulation is a continuous chain, when the chain is broken, the flow stops. That's what happened and now only those at the top are enjoying the benefit.

There're 2 ways to spend money. You can spend it wisely or unwisely. If it isnt spent wisely when in excess, when it stops flowing, there will be instant crisis.

But something you ought to know, when momey is being spent unwisely, it rubs off on everyone, even the akara seller and groundnut hawker on the streets would have brisk business cos people are spending indiscriminately. On the surface, it would look like the economy is doing well cos everyone is happy. But like I said before, the real effect is felt only when that money stops flowing in and you find out that no lasting capital structures or investments or savings were made when the money flowed.

Meanwhile, point of correction on something you said above, no one is enjoying the benefits now, the people on top are also lamenting of lack of flow just like the people at the bottom. When last did you hear of people indiscriminately buying private jets and yachts?... or since this election started, whrn last did you hear of people indiscriminately throwing money around?

veykey:
But at least the masses weren't suffering under the pdp rule. Even if they spent recklessly, the going was good for over 80% of Nigerian population. Someone could go out and come back with little money in his or her hands to show but now it's a U-turn.

When there's excess money flowing into a system, everyone down to the least in society gets a feel of it. But the real way to know whether that money was spent wisely or not is by checking what happens as soon as the excess money stops coming forth. If the money was spent wisely then, it wouldnt have been possible for that u-turn you talked about to instantly happen as soon as the money stopped flowing.

kufre2010:
Well, I can't say Amen because u are not correct. U said sixteen years of PDP yet only Buhari, Tinubu and few others are those who where never in PDP. %90 of APC today where PDP, then I was happier, I had sense of belonging but now, if you are not a Fulani it seems you are not a Nigerian. Development where visible an not propaganda. Appointment where well distributed. Everyone had sense of belonging. Unlike this failure with norternisation agenda

1. Well, whether we like it or not, irrespective of whether they have moved from party to party 100 times, the only identity I can ascribe to a person for the sake of argument is his/her current political affiliation; Atiku is PDP, Kwankwaso is PDP, Amaechi is APC, Tinubu is APC.

2. That everyone now sings about 'govt lying, lying, lying!' as a reigning song, that doesn't mean it started today; everyone knows this, except those born in 2015 or those who chose to have amnesia. It is a hard fact that with the penetration of the internet and the proliferation of social media, it is now much more difficult than ever for the government to lie to Nigerians. Today, the lies of politicians are quickly busted within minutes; if you then think that the current crop of politicians (who know that their lies can be easily busted) are lying more than before, then it's a pity.

3. Yes I agree, the crude nepotism/parochialism of Buhari is disgustingly senseless. But if I examine it deeply, it doesnt really affecr me directly so I really cant be so bothered about something that affects mainly politicians. All the people GEJ appointed close to home, how exactly did that affect the common man on the streets to make me hold onto that so much as an issue to lose sleep over?.. Besides, PMB isnt ruling forever.

4. By the way, you mentioned that development was visible? That's very subjective matter cos there are people who can see some signs of development around them and there are people who will never see it even if you plant it on their nose. The fact though in my opinion is that development is very very slow. But comparing 4 years (of which 2 were a period of recession) to 16 years, that's not really a meaningful comparison. You have to compare like for like. And you also have to compare government revenues too. For instance, the revenue Nigeria made between 2011-2015 is more than 3 times the revenue Nigeria made between 2015 and 2019. Of you must compare, you have to compare equal time periods and also factor in the revenue hand.

Adiola:
I don't like lairs let me dig up your BMC Post here

I supported Buhari in 2015. But I'm not impressed with his performance and I'm disgusted by his parochialism. Would be interesting to see where you will find any post from Obailala rooting for any of the main political parties in the coming elections; I would very rarely hail any politician.

But despite whatever enthusiasm I may have lost for Buhari, one thing still remains very constant, i.e. my utter disgust for PDP and whatever it represents. After 16 years of ruin, I still get very irritated whenever I see PDP soldiers or their supporters accusing APC of any wrong. 99% of the posts Obailala makes on the political section of this forum is about me knocking PDP and its supporters who have developed amnesia on what PDP represents. If given a dual choice of strictly PDP vs APC, I will still go with APC. But for now, since the other candidates I prefer have no chance, I'm abstaining.

kufre2010:
May your life be handled the way Buhari's administration handle Nigeria. Say a big Amen

I cannot say amen to that because I dont support nonsense. I may only be be driven to select nonsense if it is placed side by side with another nonsense. But that is not to say I'm backing any political group in the elections next month; cos I know my preferred candidates cant come close to winning.

Meanwhile, may your life and destiny be handled the way PDP handled Nigeria's destiny in it's 16 years or waste. Why dont you say a big Amen to that!

There's nothing said here that isnt known to all Nigerians, there's nothing new or surprising here. Still wondering what points, political or otherwise which Reno intends to achieve by this.

faithfull18:
I hear you. So if she had said yes.

He would have broken up with the other lady right

Well, maybe if she said YES quick enough. It's definitely better to have a broken relationship or engagement than a broken or miserable marriage.

faithfull18:
Men... He already had another lady engaged yet he was still disturbing her.

Until the deed is done, it is not yet done. What if he liked her more than the person he eventually married?....

Olumeme:
Tolu burst his lies immediately? When Tolu Admitted it was Ameachi in 2014, then to later change mouth that the audio is fake �����, my guy, na gutter dey talk brain �

Oh yes! When the first dubiously cut audio was released, Tolu claimed Amaechi couldn't have been talking about Buhari because the impression from that edited version of the audio made it seem like Amaechi was insulting Buhari.

But what happened later?... a more complete version of the audio was dug up by Tolu the very next day. And whilst it proved that it wasn't actually 2014 as previously claimed, the complete version still proved that the narrative being peddled by Reno (about Amaechi insulting Buhari) was totally false. The important defining bits of the recording was dubiously cut off by Reno to twist the meaning of Amaechi's words. **If you want the full recording, I can find a youtube link for you** This brings me back to my previous comment; Reno is still mad at Tolu for quickly busting his lie.

jmaine:
If you are truthful you will know Reno has caused a huge dent on Tolu image.. The dude even made fatal errors trying to defend APC website plagiarized contents. After trying to lie against the obvious and he was found out, he had to claim his source and info was a party directive .

He should back pedal a bit and let other media aides take the blows.

If you're also truthful, you will totally agree with me that Tolu has been a severe pain in Reno's butt recently, a major clog in the wheels of Reno's propaganda machinery. That explains why in the past week, Reno has abandoned Atiku which he should be campaigning for and focused his entire searchlight on a mere government employee... You can tell from the tone of Reno's tweets in the past week that he sees Tolu chasing him every night in his dream.

Lol... This Tolu guy really got on Reno's nerves. Reno and Tolu are just 2 of a kind, and it clearly hurts Reno so much that after spending time to create a new propaganda, Tolu just busts his lies instantly.

Since last week, Reno has been obsessed with Tolu; from claiming that Tolu betrayed Atiku to posting pictures of Tolu wearing a Nigeria Air cap and now this?

Kingspin:
Some people are help this government to kill the little demo we are enjoying

Politics is a game, a dirty game where people dig up dirt on others and use it to fight their perceived enemies whenever it suits their purpose. There's nothing undemocratic about that except the person being played is actually innocent/free of dirt.

If you dont want to be a victim, you have to be very careful to conceal all your skeletons very well, or better still, have no skeletons at all. The CJN goofed big time by making such a careless error. If his enemies want to use this his error against him, there's nothing undemocratic about that; it's just politics.

If the constitution says a CJN must declare his assets, why should the CJN (the chief custodian and interpreter of the law) not declare his assets?... How can someone in the position of the CJN claim to 'forget' such a thing?

Finally, if the allegations of PDP are true that the apc govt wants to simply push Onnoghen out, there's nothing surprising or new or undemocratic about that. Politics has always been a GAME, a DIRTY GAME. When involved in politics at any level, one must learn to avoid skeletons at all costs. Or if there must be skeletons in the closet, the entire closet should be buried very deeply. Or else, your enemies who are aware of your flaws will keep silent and wait until an appointed time such as this to unleash their missiles.

Unfortunately, Nigerians are always emotional when the dirtiness of the game doesnt favour their camp. It's only in Nigeria that a thief would be caught red handed and his only defense is that he's being caught because of politics and self acclaimed 'democracy defenders' begin to shout 'tyrant'. Why on earth would a CJN (who knows he's not favoured by the fulani-northern cabal) be this careless?

Everybody in Nigeria is just a theorist.... If the constitution says a CJN must declare his assets, why should the CJN (the chief custodian and interpreter of the law) not declare his assets?.... Not a single person has asked this vital question in the entire thread. Everyone has just automatically switched to pdp vs apc politics.

Some persons on this thread mentioned that the CJN has not been pronounced guilty by any court. The last time I checked, no one in govt or outside govt has said the CJN is guilty; a case of non-compliance was only referred to the CCT for investigation and judgement. Why's the PDP so jittery over this?.... If the CJN has done nothing wrong, the case would be thrown out, he's so much of a powerful man for me or anyone to feel worried for. Is it not the same CCT that rogues like Saraki and Tinubu were sent to and they both came out unscathed?

Finally, if the allegations of PDP are true that the apc govt wants to simply push Onnoghen out, who does not know that politics is just a GAME?.. a DIRTY GAME? People only cry foul when the dirtiness of the game doesnt favour their camp. It's only in Nigeria that a thief would be caught red handed and his only defense is that he's being caught because of politics. Heck! Politics or no politics, did you do something wrong or not?

KikBuhari2Daura:
After watching this video I concluded say any person wey vote or Support APC dey pray make God punish am .

APC is not a party but an evil cult

Vinstel:
APC is the party of touts, thugs and miscreants. Even their spokesman Mr Igbokwe had the effrontery to come out to admit that all the touts were their members. What a party of shameless impunity. APC is not the way forward, that party is evil

Modupex:
APC is an evil party

Nigerians and confusion! On one hand they scream about how APC is the same as PDP, especially since the people in APc were once PDP soldiers. The very next second, the very same set of people start screaming about how APC is a party of evil people and PDP a party of beatified saints....

Meanwhile we got neutral parties like AAC, YPP and AACN wallowing away.
