AMINDA:
Who did Tinubu support in Lagos that made him lose Lagos to Obi? Did he betray himself in Lagos?

The key word is "blatantly".

29% of the vote in Kaduna is a disgrace. El Rufai didn't do shit. The demon probably supported Atiku. He should rot in jail.

AMINDA:
Indeed. That tells you all you need to know about Tinubu. Despite all Fashola did during the electioneering campaign, he sidelined him after winning. Elrufai also indicated his interest to go further his studies. That didn't stop Tinubu from making him promise in public to discard the idea only to stab him behind his back. He had everything pre-planned and that's his treacherous nature. He will do the same to the likes of Yari and Co if he manages to win, and you all will call him a master strategist for doing so while claiming Yari betrayed him or some other phantom excuse. Fashola needs some rest but Nyesome Wike doesn't, abi?

El Rufai bastabbed Tinubu first. Like how can El Rufai support Tinubu and yet Tinubu lost blatantly in Kaduna state. Nigga deserves whatever is happening to him.

Racoon:
The shege pro-maximus have touched everyone down there. Election have consequences. So Bauchi people should do the needful next year.

Lol. They're going to vote for Atiku, Not Obi.

AI Slop.

Either they are still at the beginning of Christianity or they are not Christians!

What of the Christians that were crucified? Those fed to lions? Those burnt alive?

They're also not Christians?

Dtruthspeaker:
So that we have the full and better package God reserves and gives to His Children.

The one you see that people have is just God's goodness package for all men but as you see from the op's cries, it is never enough and the package even ceases.

But the one God gives Christians, is full package, 3 or 4 course meals, very sweet, very complete and always very satisfying even to overfeeding levels. That is why if Tinubu like, fuel can be 2500, we would still eat our 2 chief packs of pizza, Barbecued cat fish and chicken, travel and hoteling with the family non stop. While you atheists will hunger and want and kpai in suffarin

So the Christians that are suffering aren't God's children? The ones getting wasted by bandits every eke market day aren't God's children?

Even you sef. I'm certain that hunger dey waya you for where you dey. Na just nonsense you dey talk.

"Today, their orders cannot command even their own heartbeat."


No matter how powerful a man or woman is and even at the peak of their power at no point in time were they able to command their own heart beat.


I honestly don't see the point in the post...


Nothing lasts and will ever last forever.


The only lesson I can maybe deduce from the post is to make the best use of opportunities/power when in position of such to create an impact.... hopefully a positive impact because whether good or bad impact as long as Nigeria exists and is talked about you can't ever discuss Nigeria's history without mentioning certain names.


Saying power doesn't last forever is too basic... nobody thinks it does. Everyone knows everything eventually comes to an end... no matter how long it takes - both ways good or bad.


:::

Exactly. And while power doesn't last forever, it can last a life time. We're just in a democracy and so one can't rule for life.

But if one were to change the rule...

mrvitalis:
Sure governors help especially when the masses are indifferent of the candidates yes they help

The issue is the Tinubu is really really unpopular and the love for obi is so massive governors influence won’t change much

Love for Obi where? In Zamfara?

FSBoperator:
That's the system in place in the US.

That's what is being used in the UK, Canada , Australia , New Zealand .

Even Russia operates a semi confederate system.

Those are federations. Not confederations. The center is stronger than the states.

FSBoperator:
The only way to administer such a diverse landscape is through regional semi autonomous governance with a weak central govt.

A confederation? That, my friend, has never worked anywhere in the world.

AMINDA:
What was the special thing that Wike did for Tinubu that will make him throw everyone under the bus for him? Makinde did more for Tinubu but Tinubu betrayed him for Wike. Tinubu got 450,000 votes in Oyo as opposed to the paltry 231,000 (rigged) votes he got in Rivers. Tinubu got more votes in Zamfara (298,000) than he got in Rivers. Yet, I have seen Tinubu lackeys insulting the Zamfara State governor because of Wike. Noise is not equivalent to substance. Tinubu only needed Wike in destroying the PDP which he has already achieved.

He held down the PDP and made it inconsequential in the presidential race. I think that is quite valuable.

AMINDA:
Those 9 APC states Tinubu promised Wike must be achieved! Agreement is agreement

Why will Tinubu promise that? What is Wike offering Tinubu in exchange?

Honestly, even if I am a billionaire, my male child will never attend a private university.

For me, university is not only about academics. Public universities expose young people to different kinds of people, challenges, experiences, and realities that help them understand the real world.

Those experiences can shape their character, resilience, independence, relationships, and even how they approach life and future endeavours.

There are lessons you learn outside the classroom that money cannot buy. And for me, those lessons are not always available in private universities.


very important.

The lessons the founders of Paystack and all the numerous other billionaire tech bros didn't learn in private university? 😏

My post from January 19th, 2025.

OBJ had previously volunteered to testify.

Professor Wole Soyinka brought the idea of creating a road safety corp. He had been inspired by Dr Taiye Solarin, who had organised students to put in place road safety measures on an expressway on which many students had been killed by cars.

President Ibrahim Babangida bought the idea and made Professor Soyinka the first chairman of the Federal Road Safety Corps.

People initially hailed the agency. They said that Professor Soyinka brought a lot of his boys into the agency, they were graduates and they could not be bribed.

One of the people that Professor Soyinka brought into the FRSC was one of his proteges, Dr Olu Agunloye and he became the Corps Marshal (chief executive) of the agency.

Dr Agunloye was corps marshal from 1988 till 1994 when he began having problems with General Sani Abacha (I can't remember if it was because his memtor, Wole Soyinka, had issues with Abacha). I believe Dr Agunloye was detained and accused of being involved in some kind of plot.

Anyway, Nigeria returned to civil rule and President Olusegun Obasanjo made Dr Agunloye his minister of state for defence (navy) and then minister for power and steel.

Now here's the relevant part.

The Mambilla Power Plant was planned in the late 1970s and early 1980s when we had oil money. It was supposed to be the biggest power plant in Nigeria. In fact, it is so big that it is supposed to solve all our power problems. Part of the dam was built during the Shagari era. Then Nigeria suffered a financial crisis and the project was abandoned.


A few years ago President Olusegun Obasanjo said that Dr Olu Agunloye brought a proposal by a foreign company to build and operate the power plant (the proposal had earlier been brought by Agunloye's predecessor), but Obasanjo told him to bring the proposal to the Federal Executive Council meeting and also bring a comparison between the Mambilla project (which is a hydro project) and a coal fired power plant.

President Obasanjo said that Dr Agunloye never brought the proposal to any FEC meeting and so it was never approved. He said that he is ready to testify against Dr Agunloye anywhere and any time.

Dr Agunloye claimed that Obasanjo approved the deal.

---

The problem is that Nigeria seriously needs power from that dam, so at various times Yar'Adua, Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari had tried to resume the project, but the company, Sunrise, had sued and demanded compensation. They claimed that Obasanjo cancelled their contract, but Obasanjo said that neither he nor FEC approved any contract.

In fact, the Buhari Administration had reached a deal for the Chinese to fund the construction of the dam and power plant, but Sunrise blocked it.

The Buhari Administration (led by Professor Osinbajo) suspected that there were some kind of corrupt practices behind the whole thing, so it got the EFCC to investigate. The CEO of Sunrise and Dr Agunloye were being tried in Nigeria for corruption.

Dr Agunloye was granted bail and well. . .


There is an arbitration hearing in Paris over this matter and I guess the problem is that some of President Muhammadu Buhari's aides posted pictures of him visiting the Emir of Daura and then going to the airport to travel to France. That's what caused the problem.

You see, the arbitration hearings are meant to be confidential/secret, but Peoples Gazette saw those photos, found out what was happening and published a weird story that the Bola Tinubu led Federal Government had dragged President Buhari to the arbitration hearing. Can you imagine how that sounds?? (You already know how I feel about Peoples Gazette and Sahara Reporters).

The truth is that the people that are testifying against Sunrise/Olu Agunloye (people like Obasanjo, Buhari and Fashola) are very happy to do so (they don't have to be dragged) and in fact, President Obasanjo issued a public statement in 2023 in which he offered to testify anywhere and any time in support of the Federal Government.

You're a breath of fresh air on this forum.

duro4chang:
When it comes to primary, no one can defeat Atiku. He has dollar to settle every delegates. Obi even picked race. He japa shortly before the primary.

Buhari(via Tinubu) beat him blue-black in 2015.

WhizdomXX:
Just like Nigeria. People seems to worship Tinubu who is a mystery than Obi who is an open book.

Nigeria like bad boys. Na why she dey abusive relationship

AirBere:
If not for hunger, I wouldn't eat.

In a world cup year. Bdor is determined by those who performed there plus what they did in club football.

Kvara will be lucky to make top 5. He's from a poor footballing nation so it's not his fault. He can still win it by performing in a non worldcup year.

Kvara would be top three bro. The World Cup isn't the only tournament in the world. And why are people mentioning the flop mbappe?

Based on last seasons's performance, Kvara is the best player in the world right now.

Are you people high? What is Mbappe's name doing here? He didn't win any major trophies.

Also, where is Kvarashkeila on the list?

If not for world cup, the Balon D'or would have been sure for him.

Cement and Fuel market is already free. Free of government intervention

Cement isn't free. Cement imports still aren't allowed. And the Dangote led oligopoly fixes fake prices to their benefit.

Why do Northerners always want handouts? Which useless subsidy? So that they will corner it with state corruption abi?

The solution to the cement problem is a free market. Simple.

Cant you anonymouus broswers and reject cookies from thos bitvhes

I have no idea to be honest. I'm basically looking for people who have done that. By anonynous browsers, do you mean somethng like Brave? or Tor?

Good day guys. So I had a Fiverr Account that was shadowbanned a while ago. It was a top account in the writing niche. Very top. Then I tried cold pitching clients off Fiverr because I didn't want to rely on only Fiverr. Unbeknown to me, Fiverr apparently use trackers or whatever to track your browser so they can see what you're doing outside of Fiverr's website.

Then I got a notification that said something along the lines of "You're trying to reach out to Fiverr Clients Off the Platform, You have Been Warned".

That's how my orders started dropping. Till it no longer even appeared on Fiverr search at all. And the account is now basically dead. This is an account with hundreds of 5 star reviews by the way.

Anyway, how I knew that they were really tracking and spying was that years down the line, I tried opening an account for someone and it was rejected. For no good reason. Their spyware probably thought it was me trying to open another account.

Well, now I want to open another account. I'm fairly confident that if I start afresh, I should be able to build up something. I'm just worried about their spyware or whatever banning the account again.

Has anyone experienced this before? What tools do you use to bypass their spying? The internet isn't much helpful because this is kind of grey hat stuff. But I know my Naija people would have probably experienced something similar and would know how to go around it.

I would like to get back on upwork, I miss it, made some cool cash from 2017 to 2021, then I entered the real corporate world as I was tired of staying indoors living in isolation. But I need to get back in the game, checked my account saw that I lost my top rated badge but the account is still very much active, I noticed you guys now purchase connects, we got them for free back then, up to 80 connects, I had over 140connects and I needed just 2 connects to bid for jobs.

In trying to purchase connects I noticed they cost 0.15usd per 1, that's quite high, then I noticed people are spending 15+ connects bidding for jobs, that's on the extremely high side. Just wow.

Roughly around 3 USD to bid for a project? One you are not guaranteed to secure? Please someone should guide me here.

Question: what's the success rate on average in securing a gig and how much do you roughly spend on connects to get gigs

Things have changed. Upwork is now shit.

Anyways, congrats to Itele once again

You probably have come across a meme from the movie. That "Hmmmm. O tun gbe mi de be" meme is from the series.

Man of the people
Nigeria must be liberated by all means!

Seyi Makinde will capture Oyo for himself and the upcoming governor. Osun and Lagos will be shared.
Atiku will sweep the core North to be seconded by OK
Middle belt will be swept by OK
South East/South South OK

A lot is going to happen!

Create scenarios in their head and start jubilating.

Stephen0mozzy:
Riding on the wave of relevance Peter Obi brought to the party, they thought they were political heavy weights, and their overnight arrogance ran the party to the ground.

Now, Labor party will not even Win Class Rep in 100level of political science in a state university.

Ahn ahn. Abia state governor nko?

tnerro1:
They ran away from this and are over there enjoying and supporting nonsense

Na so one APC supporter claim he buys fuel in America at the equivalent of 3,450 per liter that means it is cheaper in Nigeria at 1,300.

He was asked the minimum wage over there, the guy no reply again. Senseless people.

This minimum wage retort is ridiculous though. The value of the minimum wage has no effect on the cost of a commodity. Whether it's high or low, the cost is still the same.

It's because you people think the govt is father Christmas that can just decree a minimum wage and automatically it would start entering everyone's account. If the govt makes minimum wage 500,000 naira today. Nigeria would collapse by next year because it's unaffordable.

Simple.

Oh. Really? I have random people, old or young, greet me for no reason. Does this mean they can see my greatness?

So says PRP presidential candidate who ought to step down for another candidate in practical show of walking the talk.

Is this a case of fear or playing to the gallery?

Lol. Somebody that is working for Tinubu to divide the votes from Peter Obi in the South South.

emkz:
Wike was not the FCT minister then. In the last local FCT elections, how did Peter Obi's party fare?

I already told you that local elections mean nothing because the general electorate usually isn't interested in those.

emkz:
He wasn't in Benue and Oyo when Tinubu won them.

Are you talking about the 2023 election where Peter Obi won the FCT with a large margin?
