labake1: My main concern is him failing government. I don't think education matters before contesting for a particular position in government
Just look at the Ewu Wike , Tilumbu and a corrupt section of the judiciary forced on Edo people ! Somebody that can’t pass ordinary SSCE ! No wonder he can barely read and write ! He could not even read his own budget !! Such a shame !!
helinues: Those who are shouting Yorubanization, hope your body can calm down now
You see those NC and SS, they are being pampered by this government in this different ways. It get why
NNPC ,Police IG , Custom CG , EFCC Chairman , FIRS , Chief of Army Staff , Immigration CG ,CBN GOV , Minister of Finance all key economic & security roles in Nigeria are headed by Yoruba people! Trying to use chart to deceive yourselves won’t work! Tinubu must leave power 2027!
Tinubu really has a nice heart ! I can never forgive anybody who says things like this about me ; let alone give him money and nominate his to be ambassador!
sleek214: By next election, he will be 66.... Too old to contest... We need a youth... Atiku @ 77 looking 66, Obi at 64 looking 76.... Tinubu @ 73 looking 79
Tinubu @ 73 !! lol ! That anscestor should be close to 90!
There are some institutions that should be seen as sacred - As in no one should tamper with their names.
UNN UNILORIN UNILAG UNIMAID UNiABUJA UNIJOS UNICAL UNIPORT ABU And few others.
The names of these institutions are supposed to be protected not messed up.
ABU was renamed after a prominent Northern politician ; so your arguement makes no sense! The federal govt owns those universities and can rename them whenever they want !
iwaeda: FINAL STATEMENT ON THE SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT IN THE EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION 10TH JULY, 2025
My dear people of Edo State,
Today, the Supreme Court has ruled.
Though I accept the finality of its judgment, I do not and cannot pretend that what was delivered amounts to justice.
What happened in the September 2024 Governorship Election was not a contest. It was a robbery. Coordinated. Deliberate. And now, tragically validated by the highest court in the land. While I will not and can not obstruct any judicial pronouncement, no matter how flawed, I must never fear to speak truth to power.
Like you, I feel a deep sense of betrayal. Not just by those who rigged the process, but by the very institutions we trusted to protect our democracy. You came out in hope. You voted for competence, for progress, for prosperity. And now, we are told that your voice does not matter. That your freely given mandate can be trampled without consequence.
I feel your pain. I share your anger. And I will never forget your courage.
To every young person who saw in this moment the birth of a new Edo. To every elder who longed to see our state rise again. To every woman and man who prayed, campaigned, and voted. We may not have won the office, but we won something greater. We found one another. We discovered our collective strength.
Though this painful chapter closes today, our beautiful story does not end. The struggle to reclaim the soul of our beloved state continues.
Yes, dark days may lie ahead. The weight of this illegitimacy will, unfortunately, echo beyond the halls of the Supreme Court. I fear Edo will feel it in the absence of leadership, in the poverty of policy, and in the daily suffering of her people.
But we are neither a fearful nor a broken people. We may be wounded. But all wounds heal.
So let this be our vow. We will not retreat. We will not be silenced. And we will never forget.
To those who now hold power undeserved, lead with humility. Govern with conscience. History sees what the courts may not. And one day, it will deliver its own verdict.
God bless you. God bless Edo State. And God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It’s so bad that APC now controls the judiciary and a broad daylight robbery orchestrated by criminal elements who hijacked INEC and sent those fraudulent INEC returning officers from FUT Minna to rig the election can be allowed to stand! All opposition parties must boycott all elections until this injustice is addressed and genuine electoral reforms implemented! APC, INEC & judiciary can continue their collusion till then!
9JAMac10: This trump administration should serve as a wake up call to Africa to pull herself by the bootstraps. After watching trump berate and denigrate the Liberian president yesterday. Only Africans can salvage Africa
Trump did not berate the Liberian President; he only complimented him.English is a borrowed language for us Africans.Trump was clearly suprised at the command of English language by an African.Im sure you will be suprised too if Trump speaks your local dialect fluently!
Bentacur007: Both of you are thieves Wike talks too much and tinubu will be watching him Anytime Wike and tinubu clash,Wike will say many things against Tinubu. He will say he was the one that won Tinubu election and bought judges that helped tinubu I Dey watch I will be alive to meet 2027
I can’t wait for the day Wike will not need Tinubu anymore ! He will rubbish Tinubu that day ! After giving practically all the lands in Abuja to his sons , he comes out to say all this nonsense ! Wike will end up like Abacha ! His end is near !
The thruth is Bola Tinubu is not his true identity! It was the identity he used to enter the United States in the 70s.The actual Bola Tinubu who got the admission into Chicago State University is female ! His real name is Amoda Yekini Ogunlere not the fake name he bears today!The Government College Lagos and Ibadan he claims to attend are fake that’s y he cannot claim to have any classmate from secondary school.Those who went to secondary school in the 60s and 70s know themselves because at that time only few went to school and there were hardly and private schools then.MKO and Obasanjo attended the same secondary school.There r pictures of them together in secondary school & they have fellow school mates - some of whom r still alive today!Tinubu cannot bring out his actual primary school and secondary school records because it will expose his true age and identity.Tinubu is almost 90.He is same age grade with Pa Segun Osoba , Pa Olu Falae and Pa Bisi Akande! The woman he claims to be his mother only adopted him and taught him the drug business that led to the 1993 case where he forfeited 460k to the US government! Hopefully one day he will come out and say the thruth about himself ! How can someone be telling lies at almost 90?
You BAT agbayas can keep deceiving yourselves! Your ancestor is almost 90 like his buddies Osoba and Akande who do not deny their real ages unlike him.How come till date he never mentions the primary or secondary school he attended.Did his life begin in Chicago? The Bola Tinubu who got admitted at Chicago was actually female!How come nobody has ever seen his SSCE ? Obviously the world will know his true age & identity if that happens! Keep deceiving yourselves! Agbayas!
fabuloz1: You are even too high with the price. Normally, that renovation won't be anything more than 2.5 Billion. Omoh!! These guys have killed this country totally
To hide the fraud he perpetrated, he renamed it after his boss the former drug Lord ! This administration is a total joke !!!
The project is a total fraud just like the over 300billoon for about 215 street lights.The renovation of that ICC will not cost more than 4 billion.Wike has looted at least 35 billion from that project.That is how he gets the funds he used for bribing judges.Wike’s end is near
Shameless people !! FFK , Reno , Bwala and now this one as well - they are all in for their bellies! Wike once called APC cancer but today serves in the same APC. Wike rigged Rivers for the former drug Lord and FCT minister was his reward.There is nothing democratic about this government.Shameless people!
Stupid man ! You want God to save your soul so you can rig Rivers State for the Chicago former drug Lord again in 2027 ! I thought you behave like you are God yourself ? Your end is near ; you mannerless drunk !
The former drug dealer is doing everything to get reelected & forcing everybody to join his party ! If the PDP behaved this way when they were in power , will he have been able to come this far in politics ? The agbaya that sounds like someone who will die in the next one minute is muscling everybody so Nigeria becomes a one party state.
Candidate Bola Tinubu visited Mr Rotimi Amaechi on Friday, June 10, 2022, immediately after the APC primaries. He had also visited Godswill Akpabio and Yahaya Bello.
After meeting Mr Amachi at his home, Chief Tinubu addressed the press with Mr Amaechi standing behind him and this is what he said.
( ***** = inaudible words (because the microphone was too far).

Why does the former drug baron always sound like someone who could die the very next minute whenever he is speaking ? We know he is almost 90 years old and the 73 years of age he is claiming is false.Why will somebody this old who should be resting be forcing himself because of lust for power ? Cant he just do one term and go & rest ?At least , he has fulfilled his “Emilokan” agenda ! He should rest abeg !!
Ondopress1: Ilesa Prison Break: Escapee Offers to Surrender If FG Gives N5 Million Bounty to His Mother
One of the escapees from the recent Ilesa prison break, Tobi Akin, has taken to social media to make a startling offer to the Federal Government: pay the N5 million bounty placed on his head to his mother, and he will voluntarily surrender.
Akin, 19 years, from Osun State, made the statement via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, saying:
"You put me for prison because I cashout $20 and you dey use 5 million find me. Give my mama the money, I go turn myself in".
To all those like him still here on Nairaland who are always quick to verbally attack the EFCC whenever EFCC makes the news , you will also suffer the same fate.
