But to be fair with her and honest in judgement, that ring is tiny and ugly AF.

She has every right to lament, but maybe not publicly

But how can a mere nomination form for governorship even be N22million?... These rogues are simply saying leadership should be reserved for only the rich.

Dangote doing a better job than the useless Federal government led by the world famous lifeless one.

So sad.

But the FG awarded the job to Dangote and is paying for it through tax rebates.

Dangote is simply the contractor (just like Julius Berger etc) who executed a job paid for by the FG.

Please I intent to go to London to for a better life but currently I earn about 80k. Is it wiser to travel to London to hustle? Please advice.

If you have a valid visa which permits you to work, and which has a long expiry (preferably indefinite), then it wouldn't be a bad idea hopping on the plane to try your luck elsewhere.

It takes real bravery to fly those cannibalized equipment the NAF parades. A lot fine young NAF pilots have been lost over the years to non-combat related avoidable incidents like these. This is even more sad when you consider that the pilots actually ejected (as reported); like seriously, even after ejecting, how bad can the impact on the ground be for a person with a parachute?

But come to think of it, according to the Nigerian constitution, what's the minimum qualification for one to be a governor or a minister?.... If I'm right, that should be a WAEC certificate; and non-graduates obviously don't do NYSC

2015 election was free and fair. APC preached change, not the same corruption. Instead what you brought was worse than before. It's sad you people preached change but yet continuously compared your act to the past. Was your party voted to continue the same act or were you voted in to make an improvement?

No single election has been free and fair 100% in Nigeria. There will always be sporadic cases of irregularities here and there. The same 2015 election you talk about had widerspread irregularities in places like Rivers, Kano and some other locations. Since 2015 till date, it's also been the same thing, elections have generally been fair, but there are still sporadic cases of irregularities like what was observed today. What we saw today was totally expected considering how desperatr politicians of both parties were. In summary, all I'm driving at is that conduct of elections in general have improved (it's not getting worse as you claim at all), but we aren't still there yet.

For anyone who still believe democracy is still alive in Nigeria, it should be clear to your eyes it is not. With what happened with the Osun election, it should be clear to your eyes that APC now controls INEC. Stop wasting your time asking people to collect PVC and vote. Please everyone seek visa and leave. For Godsake escape to a better country. Even other African countries is better. There are several African countries we can get into without Visa. Nigeria is a failure. There is no chance of it ever improving. If you're smart, waste your time seeking visa or citizenship of other countries instead of wasting your time collecting PVC to vote out a dictatorship party. We live in a dead country. Escape while you can because it's is now obvious Nigeria is on the slope to become the next North Korea.

Democracy dead?.... Was there ever a time it was alive in Nigeria?.... Can you give an example of a timeline when Nigeria ever had a functional democracy?

Oh! how come so many people just noticed this recently simply because the 'deadness' isnt favourable?... Could this be self inflicted amnesia?....

Nigerian politics though.. God help us!

God bless you my brother. I don't know what is wrong with Nigerians on nairaland o. the official returned his card to him, telling him that was not the place for him to vote which possibly means that the guy is with voters card registered in another pooling unit. Naija na wa

Many people are going through a nervous breakdown over this election, you can't expect rational reasoning or comments from these lot; they deserve pity.

QuickStandard:


Why can't he vote there?
Is his name not registered on the unit's voters register?

Please we need answers.

We are following keenly.

Where you there oga?∆

The comments on this thread are just too funny. Oga can you provide any evidence that his name is on the electoral register for that polling station?.. Were you there oga?.... Out of the crowd there, why was he the only one asked to leave?... And finally, why was he told "you can't vote here?" He was obviously being asked to go to his correct polling station. Fee-Dee-Fee!!! the way some people carry this election for head sef!

These PDPians are just clowns... Mama Peace was directly involved in several scams, but they think it is unjustified to probe her. Now an ADC of Aisha uses Aisha's name to commit fraud; the PDP person making this statement even acknowledges that Aisha wasn't involved, but they still want her probed?... These guys are so badly soaked in filth, they spend their lives desperately trying to prove they aren't alone in it.

Too many mumu comments since this election started. A single person is asked to leave a polling station probably because he's at a wrong station; but we already have 2 pages filled with wailing comments from people who don't even have a clue of what really transpired.

The election today would be one of the most monetized elections in Nigeria's history. No one wants to be left out.

sirabu:
That PDP supporters lack shame is a fact. Any act of policing during APC government is an attempt against PDP supporters. Police arrested thugs today in osun PDP supporters are shouting marginalization against their members.

Police arrested some proustites in Ekiti state, PDP shouted marginalization .

Police arrested ritualist with human heads in Ogun state, PDP at it again.

Police killed armed robbers in Port Harcourt . PDP cried.

Police arrested bunkering boys in bayelsa . PDP cried

Army did shaku shaku dance the Python way . PDP cried

Navy did galala dance for high sea .PDP cried

Air force did running man over sambisa Forest .PDP cried.

It seems they want this government to fail just for their self interest by laughing at Nigerians. PDP forgot they had the time, power and money for 16 years. What happened drinking kain kain, dollarization of the economy was the legacy, they gave us. I will support zzz party to defeat Apc, than PDP to come back in 2019. Till then

Air force did flying rehearsal in Abuja last week, PDP claimed it was an attack on NASS to get Saraki.

What did they do?

Jesus Christ! This election 2moro would be the most absurdly monetized election in Nigeria's history.

Coming from an FFK who in 2013/2014 when still in APC, insulted and denigrated Igbos with his foul mouth and his pen. Fast-forward to 2015, he joins PDP, Buhari wins and Igbos suddenly became his best friends. #Politics

Sirika hasn't still said anything. That guy seems to be an intelligent man but it seems his hands and mouth are tied; reason he isn't even able to mention the real reason for the suspension. I swear working for the Nigeria government can really be frustrating for non-partisan technocrats.

But seriously, could this be the picture of the road in question?... Could it be this narrow/tiny road that has been impossible for successive FG and LASG admins to fix in decades?

Maduaburonku!

Where is @Tonyebarcanista?... Rush in here bro, somebody dey spoil your work.

Rivers state again...

3kay945:
I stand with it. Millions of people making poor judgment about critical decision will always remain Foools.

To your last paragraph, individual governor represents a political party. So where they failed to pay workers salaries for months, and tried to trick the people by paying peanuts few days to election, in such circumstances, anyone that cast their votes for such party representative at that particular election is nothing but a fool. Simple.

I get your time till 1am.

Okay..

Anyway I partially agree with you, everyone in Nigeria who ever votes for apc or pdp is a fool.

3kay945:
When I said you are being sentimental, I carefully chose the word.
My point of reasoning is simple. Anyone that voted for Apc in that state is a fool.
Now, comparing with Ekiti and drawing conclusion on your personal assumptions is what am not understanding cos I never gave any opinion in that regards.
Now going by logic, it simply means if same issue of salary pertain to any part of the country, anyone that voted such party again (future election not included here) is a fool too. No matter their number.

So, pls, drop your sentiment about Apc or maybe cos your people are being tagged as fool or whatever you have in mind.

You don't just wake up and call hundreds of thousands of people fools for making their personal choice simply because it doesn't align with yours; carelessly labelling people fools just like that speaks volumes about who you really are.

By the way, my point about logic is this, paying or owing salaries is an individual thing, not a party thing. There are APC and PDP governors who owe salaries.

3kay945:
You are just being sentimental here.

Sentimental?.... Are you sure you're using the right word there?... Cos you're the one being emotional and sentimental in judgement; I spoke from a very logical point of view.

If you argued that the people should vote out 'Aregbesola' for owing salaries, that would have made absolute logical sense. But saying people should vote out APC (and vote in PDP) because APC owes salaries, when infact the PDP is also known to owe salaries, such an argument clearly lacks logic, that's just being emotional.

skybird212:
I have neighbor whose salaries have not been paid for months and still saying she will never vote any other party than apc... I asked why, she said her dad and in-laws are all apc even tho they didn't help her,but she's always with them. We have a lot of them like that here in Osun who prefer to go hungry than vote out apc.... Many have been brainwashed that they can never see anything bad in govt owing them salaries.

PDP also owes salaries, even in the neighboring Ekiti state, salaries were owed. Hope you know that?... So if you think your neighbor is stupid for voting apc, don't you think she would also be stupid for voting pdp?

3kay945:
Yea, they were really given two choices as you said.
Funny you. No matter the number of people in consideration, inasmuch as their level of judgment on matter that pertain to their lives and generation are poor, they are still fools. Even if they are millions or whole southwest combined.

Oga, when people are faced with 2 bad choices, the natural thing they do is to go for the one they feel is a lesser evil. And please don't give that crap about other political parties being in existence; as far as those elections were concerned (i.e. Ekiti and Osun), there were only 2 parties that could possibly win. So I'm sorry, anyone who feels so wise or self righteous to actually label people 'fools' for lack of a good choice, such an individual is the real fool.

Yambee:
Politics is indeed a strange game.

On one side, we have an ordained minister of God, from the RCCG.

And he is also the Vice President of Nigeria,who because of politics, is eating,and dining from the same table with a well known OGBONI man like Rochas Okorocha.

Why is an ordained minister frolicking with an Ogboni man like this?

The pharisees and saducees also asked this same question about Jesus. There's nothing new here.

This was a short thread.

Just imagine PDP presenting Markarfi in 2019 against Buhari?... Not a soul will bother to go out to vote down south.

3kay945:
Have you forgotten the meaning of the word 'fool'?

Whether or not they are exercising their rights, its different issue entirely.

You will remain a fool if your sense of judgment is poor or lacking.

pdp and apc owe salaries. Going by that logic, over 90% of the voters in osun state and ekiti state are fools for no other reason than the fact that they were given 2 bad choices to pick from.

For calling everybody in 2 states fools, we can all see how 'sound' your judgements and that of the fat Adeboye bloke is.
