Hi nairalanders, let's challenge our brains on a daily basis by playing the Wordle Game. Wordle is a web-based word game created and developed by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, and owned and published by The New York Times Company since 2022. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with feedback given for each guess in the form of colored tiles indicating when letters match or occupy the correct position. So the rule is simple, play the game and share a screenshot of your score. Do not reveal the word of the day until the following day!. I will start first so you can see how it's being played before this thread will be featured on the frontpage. Click on this link to play: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html Ok, let the game begin!

If Abba Kyaro were in the Ballot Box, yes the Ambassador would have visited him. The US respects the sanctity of elections and would allow the people choose their leaders. It's only if the US has an issue with Nigeria as a country that they would not associate with any of the candidates. |

frank14011991:You are right about Akpabio. But the reason I didn't include him is because his candidature is still wobbly even though INEC included him on the list. Based on the Electoral Law, you can't participate in two primaries within the same electoral cycle so his opponent might use that against him. Also PDP has a very formidable candidate Chris Ekpeyong (PDP) Chris Ekpeyong defeated Akpabio twice (in the main election and in the rerun) in the last election, I don't see Akpabio upturning that. 6 Likes |

As a follow up to my previous thread, this thread is dedicated to the possible permutations for Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins (and that's a big "if"  ). Tinubu is from the South West while his vice is from North East. Also both of them are Muslims. Thus the Senate Presidency has to come from either the South East or South South and has to be a Christian.In the South East, the major contender is Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia North). Even though he did not support Tinubu during the APC primaries, he has been very vocal in his support for Tinubu. So I wouldn't be surprised if Tinubu would lobby for Orji Uzor Kalu to become the Senate President. Also I believe Kalu is a Christian and he a majority leader (Chief Whip) in the Senate, these are his strong points. However Kalu has to win his re-election into the Senate first. He has a major challenger from PDP, Mao Ohaobunwa. So I guess, Kalu's focus should be to win the Senate election first. He defeated Ohaobunwa in the last election, perhaps he can do it again. Another possible stumbling block to Kalu is Osita B. Izunaso (APC, Imo West). That Izunaso guy is an underdog who should not be overlooked. He was the one who singlehandedly retired Arthur Nzeribe from the Senate, so he could pose a stumbling block to Kalu's bid if he is also interested in being the 2023 Senate President. In the South South, I'm going for Peter Nwaoboshi (Delta North). He is a 2 term senator and is a Christian as well. However he has to win Ned Nwoko of the PDP first before his dream of becoming a Senate President can be realised. Another contender, albeit a lightweight one, is Biobarakuma Degi (Bayelsa East). For the Speaker House of Representative, I would say either North Central or North West gets it, but I’m tilting towards North West because they will likely priduce more APC seats than the North Central. But the permutations on who would likely be a strong contender is very complex and beyond my scope. So, in conclusion, I'll say the major contenders for the Senate Presidency IF Tinubu wins are Orji Uzor Kalu, Osita Izunaso and Peter Nwaboshi. Modification: I was also made to be aware that Godswill Akpabio (APC, Akwa Ibom North West) is another strong contender. I know he has some legal hurdles to surmount. If that's solved, I'll say he also is a strong contender alongside Orji Uzor Kalu. 15 Likes 3 Shares

| Politics › 2023: Major Contenders For Senate Presidency IF Peter Obi Wins by Obinoscopy(op): 4:44pm On Sep 21, 2022 |
As we draw close to the 2023 elections, it is now clear that we have three major contenders for the Presidency which are Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (APC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Mr Peter Gregory Obi (LP). There has been lots of talks on who would be elected President and Vice President but there have been little or none in regards to Senate Presidency. This might be because the Senate President slot depends hugely on who will win the Presidency/Vice Presidency. There are different permutations for the possible Senate President if any of the three major presidential contenders wins the election. Today, I will focus on the possible Senate President permutations IF Peter Obi wins the presidential election. Peter Obi is from the South East while his vice, Datti Ahmed, is from the North West. So the geopolitical zone that will likely get the nod for senate presidency would be the South West. So I will list the possible permutations from the South West region. The permutations will also depend on the political party that wins majority seat in the Senate. I personally don’t think the Labour Party will win majority of the seats in the Senate come 2023. They dont even have Senate candidates in some States based on the list INEC released and they only have 1 seat in the current Senate. It mostly likely will be the PDP or APC. If PDP wins (less likely), the major contender for the Senate President Seat will be Abiodun Olujimi (Ekiti State). I picked her because she is currently a minority leader in the Senate. Also she is a former deputy governor and is 63 years. I included her age because both Peter Obi and Datti are in their 60’s so it will only make sense that the Senate will prefer someone in that age bracket as well. However if APC wins (more likely), the major contender will be Bamidele Michael Opeyemi (also Ekiti State). I picked him because he is a three term senator (so he has wealth of legislative experience) and is 59 years old. So my two major contenders, if Peter Obi wins, are Abiodun Olujimi (Ekiti, PDP) and Bamidele Opeyemi (Ekiti, APC). Other possible contenders are Buhari Abdulfatai (Oyo, APC), Surajudeen Basiru (Osun, APC), etc, but they are lightweights. The likes of Oluremi Tinubu and Amosun Ibikunle would have been very strong contenders if they had indicated interest to contest for Senate but they are not seeking re-election. I have considered the possibility of States like Edo State and Delta State to produce the Senate Presidency but there are no viable candidates in my opinion. The likes of Ovie Omo-Agege (current Deputy Senate President) from Delta State would have been a strong candidate but he is seeking governorship election instead. I also don't see anyone from Edo State as the likes of Clifford Ordia and Francis Alimikhene, both from PDP, are having internal tussles on who is the legitimate candidate (INEC has even excluded their names from the current published list). For the Speaker House of Representative, I would say either North Central or North East gets it, but I’m tilting towards North Central because of the role they will play in ensuring Peter Obi wins. But the permutations on who would likely be a strong contender is very complex and beyond my scope. These are my humble opinion, I might be wrong. You are welcome to list your possible contenders if Peter Obi wins. So my conclusive advise to Abiodun and Bamidele, and by extension the people of Ekiti State, is that they do the needful if they want to secure the Senate Presidency 21 Likes

But the money wasn't tangible, perhaps that explains why it didn't raise much dust then. Two wrongs does not make a right. If someone sues the Labor Party, using the excuse that APC and PDP did it in the past will not exonerate the LP.

So what's currently trending in the political sphere is the diasporan funding for Peter Obi and it being against the electoral act (section 85, subsection a and b). Prior to now, it has never been an issue as Nigerian politicians source their funds majorly from other means. Some through illegal diversion of State funds while others through funding from the oligarchs and super wealthy who have vested interests in the government. The money politicians get from Nigerians in the diapora has been very meagre. Perhaps that explains why it never trended in the past. But with the emergence of Peter Obi, the story has changed as it would seem the Diasporans are ready to bankroll the Peter Obi campaign immensely. Now the issue is that the electoral act is against funding political parties from abroad. So what that means is that the Labor Party are not meant to collect any money from anyone abroad. Any money collected will be forfeited and the party fined. Now what is the Labor Party's plan in regards ensuring they don't break this law. I just watched the interview Prof Pat Utomi granted to Seun of Channels TV and I was surprised at Prof's response to this law. He was literally calling that law bluff. Based on his response, it would seem the plan of the Labor Party is to go ahead and collect monies from abroad and use it to fund their campaigns. That is very dangerous. I must state it here that I share Prof Utomi's sentiment in regards to the funding as a way Nigerians can take back their country. I also agree that the law is a clog in the wheel of Nigerians in the diaspora who want to take back their country from the rich corrupt politicians. But I don't think it's wise to call the law bluff. This is because the law has constitutional backing. Section 225 (3) (a) and (b) of the constitution was very clear about funding from abroad. Going against the constitution is wrong as the courts will never support you. So my advice to the Labor Party is that they assemble their legal team to study the law and seek for ways to raise funds without contravening the law. Perhaps one way, would be for an NGO or body that has no financial ties with the Labor Party be the one to champion the collection and disbursement of these Diasporan funds. Now let's even look at the law and the purpose/intent of it. I think the reason behind the law is noble.....to prevent foreign influence on our country. A sovereign country can only remain sovereign if they are not influenced by any foreign country. I 100% agree with that. But I think that law was coined wrongly. Nigerians in diapora are not "foreigners". They are Nigerians. So even though they are abroad, they should be able to be contribute towards the growth of their country in every way possible. The law should be tweeked to prevent donations from foreigners/foreign countries and not prevent donations from Nigerian in diaspora. Will the Labor Party call the law bluff? Will the constitution be amended? Will the Labor Party look for other ways to raise funds? Let's see how events unfold. 42 Likes 4 Shares

richie240:Tinubu did well as a governor. Despite FG stifling funds meant for Lagos, he was able to generate funds internally and perform. But that does not absolve him of the fantastic corruption tagged on him. 2. If we ask u and d other clowns to mention just one case in which tinubu was convicted (apart from d normal isiewu joints gossips) to justify the 'fantastically corrupt' tag now, it will be a herculean task for u and ur fellow zombiedients.Tinubu was never convicted. But you don't need to be convicted before we know the truth. Tinubu forfeited money in a plea deal. That alone makes him guilty of the crime (to me along with many Nigerians), even if the court of law did not convict him. Why would he let go of his hard earned money if he was not guilty? Also the numerous avenue he uses to siphon money in Lagos even after leaving office is so fantastically corrupt. Initially u said tinubu was fantadtically corrupt, but when I called ur **phat behind**And if Tinubu were a Chinese Official, he will be killed 10 times  I hope I've not sparked a 'ban' o.lol, na I don't roll like that. |
