Is it only me that have noticed that those standing in the gap to Messr Tinubu are all criminals. Yam eaters of first order and since the old maxim has: show me your friend and I will tell you who you are; Tinubu frolicking with known thieves means he’s no better.
These men have to checked.

Happy new month Nlanders.
I decided to clear some air as we approach 2023, because it has become pertinent to do so.
It’s 100% certain power is coming South. A joyous moment for the South.
Another joyous moment is who decide which of the 3 Southern zones will produce.
It used to be a northern affairs but this has changed since the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan.
Now the north has IBB, Abdulsalami, Shagari, Gowon and Buhari. Finance is TY Danjuma.
The south has Obasanjo, Shonekan and Jonathan.
It was unanimous in 2011 in favor of Jonathan, in 2015 in favor of Buhari and polarized in 2019.
But in 2023, it’s going to be unambiguous and South East gets it.
Take your time and study the trend of events, you will understand that the ship has left the harbor. It’s sailing peacefully to the land of the rising sun.
Happy new month.

mrvitalis:

And your people voted buhari ? ...u yorubas just don't want to see and Igbo man as president even in this imaginary concept that won't work ..is that how much u hate igbos ?

My brother Yorubas are not leaving any stone unturned. Even in the BBNaija, one housemate was asked aside him, who would he had liked to see as HoH.
The young man, said he doesn’t see anyone aside himself.
His name is Lekan or Laycon.
But I tell anyone that cares to listen, it’s either Igbo or Igbo in 2023. The ship has sailed already.

I’m not wishing the old one death because it’s evil to do so. But before our eyes, Kyari and Funtua were in the cabal and they had opposing opinions against zoning in general and South East producing the president. Today where are they?
A word is enough for the wise.

Buharifan:
I am a northerner and I support the south east to produce the next president of Nigeria.

It was alleged the military regime of Gowon named the Nigerian currency as Naira in 1973(meaning Never Allow Igbos Rule Again), this should not be allowed to continue.

Since Ironsi held sway as head of state for a period of 6 months no igbo has ruled the country again.

Let's support Igbo presidency come 2023.

Both PDP and APC need to adopt candidates from the east.

Peace only comes in truth.
Since you have spoken truth, peace shall never elude your lineage.

South East is getting President in 2023. Hug transformer if you’re pained

Good.

The SE’ners should present Peter Obi or Dave Umahi in PDP for the 2023 presidential election.

You still can’t figure it. It’s still doing you like film. APC will give their ticket to South East.
Deal with it.

When you are talking about poverty rate, you can't use population but instead %

But you used land mass? And also where does the % come from? Mars or Jupiter? I don’t actually know the state of mind of some of you popular handles here.

helinues:


Oyo state alone is almost the same landmass with the entire SE region...

Is it about land mass or poverty rate? Also know that logically, the higher the land mass, the higher the population. The higher the population, the higher the poverty rate(though debatable but reasonably in order). That is India and China are rich but more poor citizens than Many European countries.
Coming to landmass, is Oyo bigger than Enugu?

What is this every now and then? This country was expected to get a near comprehensive data for payment of lockdown palliatives, up till now, no data. But someone will sit in his house and cook up figure without empirical evidence.
What is poverty rate? % of the population that is in poverty level.
So based on what we all observed during this lockdown, someone still wants to play ostrich? I leave you to this: Britain knew they were not Europe’s life wire but they deceived people into believing that, until Brexit happened. I’m talking about false belief. I’m talking about self denial.
Continue.

I said it that at the nick of time, even Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu will lend his voice.
Nigeria president of South East extraction is not a favor to the people of South East, it is for the good of the country.

flokii:
Ngige was accused of filling a government agency with only Igbos mostly from Anambra with up to 5 Ngiges on the nominal roll.. am I surprised? NO it's their way of life.

Some ignorant Yorubas don't know the evil those guys perpetrated against the Yoruba race under GEJ. They literally removed over 80 percent of Yorubas in government agencies both top and mid-level and replaced them with Easterners (leaving Northerners thinking they will re-elect GEJ). Only the Yorubas in Ministries were saved because of their mode of appointment into the Civil service through the Civil Service Commission.

If these ones get presidency, Hausa/Fulani nepotism will be child's play to what will be experienced. Only Yorubas still think liberally in Nigeria, reason they all run to South West but the ingrates will go and be killing Yoruba prosperity at Federal level.

I don’t know all The aides of Vice President, but I’ve never heard any other from other tribes except Yorubas. There is no issue with that, he picked those he’s comfortable with just like the president.
But why is it a crime if Ngige emulates his superiors? Okeyyyyyy because he is Igbo and agenda must agend.

NafeesaAA:
He Insulted Our Northern Ancestors,Our Northern Parents,Brothers,Sisters And Also Insulted Us But SHIKAFI Emirate Has Been Conferred Him With Traditional Tittle Of Sadauki Shinkafi....What a Nosense!!

Femi Fani-Kayode, has been conferred the traditional title of "Sadaukin Shinkafi" by the Shinkafi Emirate Council of Zamfara state. The Emir said this honour was because of FFK's "support and contributions to the development of the Emirate"

I don't want to sound like I am doing bad belle for the former Minister, but Wallahi, I am genuinely interested in knowing what these contributions are.

Zamfarawa, mutanen Shinkafi, haka soyayya ke tsakaninku da FFK ?

I know I am right to be this shocked. Wow!

North is children of hate. The hate Yorubas but hide it. They are burning their bridges despite the fact that FFK would have used his sophisticated contact to bring development to north.
Because of this, how can north produce president? They’re hating on other Nigerians.

He stung James Ibori
He stung Douye Diri (Dickson) but court rescued him
At the right time, you will know why you should fear quiet people.

Total dissolution of nigeria is what I want

Sometimes, keeping silent becomes wisdom.

johnykgoal:
this thing is getting weight oo

It has to get weight. Nigeria have tried everything except this one. The table is not standing well. If Igbo become happy in Nigeria, our country will appreciate.
Those that love the country knows this is the right thing do.

yarimo:
throws weight as if Clark is somebody in Nigeria's politics.

He is a South South leader. Of course GEJ has been working underground for South East. So in all fairness, 70% of South South leaders are on bed with South East.
The only challenge is South West, because they are not united. Nobody to talk to. And South East doesn’t want to talk to talk any group in South West until they’re united. Odumakin Afenifere has soft spot for South East but social cultural bodies are not reliable. That is why Tinubu is a force. He will give his blessing when the time comes.
Watch out!!!

NaijaRoyalty:
The North too already throwing their weight behind south east Presidency


Tinubu should wait for 2043 when he will be 90yrs old and probably walking with a stick .

I laff at those that believe South East is afraid to compete openly with South West.
If push comes to shove, and the Igbo elites want the president, nobody can stop it. The contacts are there, the flair is there.

2023: Why South-East should produce next president – Clark, Nkanga

On July 20, 202010:17 amIn News
By Our Correspondents

As race for the 2023 Presidency begins in earnest, some prominent Nigerians have canvassed power shift to the South.

Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, on his part said: “Nigeria’s unity demands that North and South should rotate the office of president and after President Buhari serves his eight years, presidency should return to the South and specifically go to the South-East zone in 2023.

According to him, “Some people argue that they want people who are intelligent, who have integrity and worthy personality, I dare say that such people are not scarce in Nigeria, whether in North-East, North-West, North-Central, South-West, South-South and South-East.

“So also the Presidency should not remain in the North-West, it should also go to North-Central and North-East, similarly in the South, it should not be South-West, South-South and South-East

“Therefore, anybody who believes in the unity of this country knows its sustenance depends on quality leadership and ability of all sections of the country to aspire to any position in the country.”

South-East deserves it – Nkanga, Luke

PANDEF Chairman, Nkanga said: “Our position is that if there is arrangement of North and South, we should keep to it. If it is coming to the South, it should be South-East zone. But above all, we are calling for restructuring.

“If there is restructur-ing, things will go well in this country, look at what they did to us in Ghana, if the country has been restructured, things will not be going this way, they will not be taking us for granted.

”At least, let us restruc-ture this country to make things work. President Buhari should sign the Electoral Bill so that we can hold proper election in this country.

ALSO READ: Let South have Presidency in 2023 — Adebanjo, Yakassai, Clark

”In 2019, he won power, not election. “Other than restructur-ing the country, we will continue to be a laughing stock and a beggar nation. I am not really much concerned about where presidency goes, we are not so much concerned but let there be restructuring.”

Second vice chairman, Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, Pere of Akugbene-Mein King-dom, Delta State, HRM Luke, Kalanama VIII, stated in his contribution: “In my own view which is also an advisory one, for the sake of honesty, sincerity and stability, power should move to the South in 2023.

“When it gets to the South, the South-East, which is also part of the country, should have a bite of the presidency.

“After South-East does its two tenures, the ideal thing, of course, is that power should go back to the North. Again, when power gets to the North, the North-East has never produced any president in the history of this country. Therefore, it should be given same opportunity.

“So for the sake of stability and equity, power should be rotated to Southern Nigeria in 2023 and if they want to micro-zone, they should give opportunity to the South-East. Our role as traditional rulers is to advise the government and I have played my advisory role in the interest of Nigeria.”

When the Favored man is having some good time.

Charleys:


The owners of the shops and businesses he destroyed while in office will tell you a different story.

I don't care about Peter obi.
I care about me.

When I become a governor, I will restore Onitsha to the design of the British.
That will leave two or three markets in the city.

I lived almost all my life in Anambra state.
I knew how my state was pre-democracy, pre-Peter Obi, during Peter Obi and now.
Educationally, we had an educated elite: Achebe, Okigbo, Ojukwu, Mbanefo, etc. Every clan can boast of educated elites.
But there was this gap. Nobody to take over from these sound minds and it was never a priority to the ruling class.
Just like Arsenal FC, Anambra left the league of educated states to mid table strugglers.
Under a civilian governor, the state went on strike for one year.
And it affected my dear state psychologically and otherwise.
During the time of old Anambra state, then Gov Jim Nwobodo would always want to sit on the first row during National events involving states governors. If the opportunity didn’t come, he would go to the MC and influence him to call governors based on the alphabetical order of their states. Of course Anambra was always Number one.
But this mentality of being on the front row died when education died in Anambra state.
Mr. Peter Obi came and restored it.
Anambra dominated in Education once more until recently that Abia state has taken over.
Some people opined that it’s because of malpractices that helped Anambra, but some of our Secondary School girls have won international competitions beating China, US, European countries. Our boys also represented the country in engineering and did exceptionally well.
Has it helped the image of Anambra today?
A great deal if I may say. Today, the toga of “Anambra men don’t go to school” has changed to “Anambra men are too loud”.
We have not only taken back our front row seat, we already have it lockdown. The magic wand was the sustainable policy on education initiated by Mr Peter Obi.
He handed schools back to the mission and funded them.
In his thinking, if Our educated elites are products of mission schools, then missionaries should help bridge the gap created when the schools were taken away from them after the war.
As we celebrate this Icon today, it’s my wish that our leaders initiate radical policies that will impact positively in the society. Because according to Peter Obi, “The society we abuse today will take it’s toll on our children tomorrow”.
Happy birthday The Groomer of Leaders.
More strength, wisdom and grace.

Peter Gregory Obi (born 19 July 1961) is a Nigerian politician and businessman who was the vice presidential candidate in the 2019 Nigerian general election under the Peoples Democratic Party.

He was the former governor of Anambra State serving from 17 March 2006 to 2 November 2006, when he was impeached and from 9 February 2007 to 29 May 2007 after his impeachment was overturned.

Although a fresh election was held on 29 April 2007, he was reappointed governor on 14 June 2007 after a court ruling that he should be allowed to complete a four-year term. He won in 6 February 2010 election for a second term as governor.

Obi married Margaret Brownson Usen in 1992, and together they have two children: Gabriella Nwamaka Frances Obi and Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi. He's a devoted Catholic.

Happy Birthday His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi (okwute)

Okwute!
You’re a Great Leader
Bridge Builder
Stainless and Spotless
An Enigma and A Gadfly
Silent Crusader
You’re a Phenomenon and a Metaphor
Your vision for Nigeria shall see the light of the day.
Iseeee!!! Amin!!! Amen!!!
N’landers, let’s celebrate this Contemporary and unconventional Leader of our time.

[quote author=CGMedia post=91856854][/quote]

I know Orji Uzor Kalu is never a governorship material but because we have reduced governance to corn roasters affairs, Orji Kalu and Tinubu are talking about being president.

Professor Charles Egbu, from Abatete, Idemili North LGA Anambra State of Nigeria, has been appointed Vice-Chancellor of Leeds Trinity University.

That makes him the first Africa VC of a UK University or College. The Kenneth Dike and Eni Njoku of our times. Please let us celebrate him.


Nigeria Ndi oma Ndi oma

There is a time in someone’s life that all you must do is tell the truth because it won’t make you less a person, rather it will make dwell in peace.
Elder Olu Falae disappointed me by saying Yorubas are the glue holding Nigeria together.
I respect elders in general and Olu Falae in particular but I won’t waste any second in bringing an elder to a place of knowledge.
The only glue holding Nigeria together are found in the nine states Niger Delta.
These states are Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers.
Every other considerations are based on primordial sentiments and don’t hold water.
Thank You.

Using Legendhero post as a reference.

I would’ve loved to see this thread achieve one thing: setting the record straight; but the OP built a house and set it ablaze.
One thing the Yorubas will come to live with is, Igbos will chase them out of Lagos. It may not take up to 50 years.
Since you gloat over others pains, let’s see who laughs last.

saintokwuluora:
The campaign for Orji Uzor Kalu has begun. They want to prop him up against Tinubu, divide the APC South and take the party's ticket. For PDP, it's either Atiku or Tambuwal, so the game plan is that the presidency is going to the North again.

PDP ticket is SE to lose. Take it to the bank.

Showbby28:
Former Deputy Senate President and Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial district, Mr Ike Ekweremadu has concluded plans to dump his political party , the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2023 Enugu governorship tussle

THE NIGERIA DAILY gathered from a source close to the former deputy Senate President that Ekweremadu has renewed his high-level negotiations with the top echelon of the APC from the South East.

The source told THE NIGERIA DAILY that Ekweremadu’s defection to the APC has nothing to do with disagreement with his own party, the PDP, but solely on his desire to pursue his governorship ambition in 2023.

It will be recalled that Ekweremadu is one of the longest serving senators in the national assembly having represented his senatorial zone for 16 years and still counting.

During his re-election in 2019, Ekweremadu has promised his constituents he would not be seeking another term in the Senate come 2023.

He was first elected to the senate in 2003. In 2015 he attempted to run for Governor but the then Governor, Sullivan Chime denied him the ticket insisting it was the turn of another zone . This prompted Ekweremadu to renegotiate his way back to the Senate.

THE NIGERIA DAILY learnt that Enugu PDP has insisted on following the zoning arrangements of the 1999. Enugu East produced Governor between 1999-2007 , followed by Enugu West (2007-2015) and now Enugu North (2015-date ) The tenure of Enugu North is expected to elapse by 2023 . But Ekweremadu’s close aide told THE NIGERIA DAILY that since all zones have benefited from the zoning arrangements , it doesn’t matter which zone produces the next governor .

Meanwhile, Enugu East which has former governors Chimaraoke Nnamani and Jim Nwobodo has made it clear that they are leaving no stone unturned in producing the next governor and the incumbent governor, Rt. Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is strongly in support of Enugu East, this Newspaper still learnt.

With Ekweremadu leaving no stone unturned on his interest to occupy the Lion Building ( Enugu State Government House ) and without the support of the incumbent governor, his alternate vehicle to achieve his long time dream is through the APC.

This Newspaper has confirmed that Ekweremadu has activated all his governorship structures and is on the verge of concluding all necessary measures before he finally announced his defection to the APC.

https://thenigeriadaily.com/2020/07/08/exclusive-ike-ekweremadu-to-run-for-governor-on-apc-ticket/

I’m a PDP man but I will support Ekweremadu in any political party. South East needs accomplished individuals to oversee the zone.
Soludo is also good in Anambra. Imo state is unfortunate. Ihedioha would’ve done well.
Ebonyi is doing well while Abia needs someone like Alex Otti.
