i still dont know why atiku and his boys didnt create their own party , they had all the time in the world to do it , secondly how come they didnt do due diligences on this adc option . it still baffles me .

boss you forgot to read the part where i said he will take it back after the elections

WatchYourSix:
30million Nigerian?? lol…..Na so u think say govt like Una reach?? ….
All this na scam…. Na general subsidy wey go reach everybody be the duty of govt to the people…..Weda subaidy on education, health, fuel, naira….. there must be subsidy…

Wetin be 50k for all the damage the man has caused with his wicked policies…… ??

omo tinubu is ready to spend any amount to win , just imagine 50k to like 30minillion nigerians .anyway if he wins , he will collect it back in form of taxes and fuel price hikes

Bros, I think many people are underestimating the political danger in the game Makinde is playing. He doesn't necessarily have to win the presidency to have a major impact on the election.

Makinde will likely dominate Oyo State, and those votes are crucial for Tinubu. That's what makes him such a factor. He knows a presidential victory may be a long shot, but he can still significantly weaken Tinubu's support base in the Southwest.

If Makinde pulls substantial votes away from Tinubu in Oyo, one of the APC's most important strongholds becomes less reliable. That alone could hurt Tinubu far more than many people realize. Sometimes politics isn't about winning outright; it's about denying your opponent the votes they cannot afford to lose. the danger is not about makinde winning but makinde spoiling thing

Parachoko:
Except from Oyo and maybe Bauchi if Bala Mohammed decides to work for him, Makinde won't have up to 25% of the votes in any other state

They are overlooking what I believe is the biggest problem: Tinubu may simply be unsellable to many voters in 2027. Whether Atiku is in the race or not is unlikely to change the opinions of Nigerians who have already made up their minds about the current administration.

They're also underestimating Seyi Makinde. If the election turns into a question of regional or ethnic loyalty, many Yoruba voters may prefer Makinde over Tinubu. In that scenario, Tinubu could lose a significant share of the Southwest vote, further complicating his path to re-election. Removing Atiku from the equation would not automatically solve those underlying challenges.inubu

Sheuns:
It seems you guys are much invested in setting this country on fire just because of one man’s greed and ambition.

Removing ADC from the ballot may cause serious problems at this point.

Thread carefully.

rigging i the only way apc can win the coming elections and they know it and they are solidly, massively and agressively preparing for it . but with the suffering and pains in the land , their rigging plans may actually backfire on them

I've been saying it for a while, and many others agree: the North will ultimately decide who wins this election. From all indications, much of the region appears to be leaning toward Atiku.

The South is likely to be split among several candidates, making the North even more decisive. Unlike 2023, when the APC was largely united and enjoyed strong Northern backing, the political dynamics have changed. If current trends continue, it will be much harder for any party to overcome the clear preference of such a large voting bloc. Ultimately, whoever wins the North will likely have the strongest path to victory.

This election could be much tougher for Tinubu than 2023. Back then, many Nigerians gave him the benefit of the doubt because they had not yet seen his performance in office. Today, widespread dissatisfaction has pushed many voters to look for alternatives.

Atiku's biggest strength is his ability to rally support in the North, Nigeria's largest voting bloc. While the South is likely to be divided among candidates such as Tinubu, Obi, Atiku, and others, the North could once again determine the outcome of the election. If Atiku consolidates Northern support, he could pose a serious challenge to Tinubu's re-election bid.

atiku and makinde are the real problems for apc and tinubu but in ironical ways . adc and atiku on one side are the most obvious well known problem , while makinde and his apm are he silent underground issues . no wonder tinubu has started negotiations with makinde again underground

No wonder kidney failure is on the rise everyday in Nigeria . If the process involved in doing garri is exposed ,many will just go and write their will and buy their coffins ready

one thing is clear and obvious , peter obi will not win this election BUT FROM ALL INDICATIONS SO FAR FROM THE PEOPLE , THE LEAST POPULAR CANDIDATE OUT OF THE MAJOR FOUR CANDIDATES IS TINUBU .
except apc ,wike and tinubu get the rigging machinery and judical abracadabra correct they will certainly lose this election. .

no wahala , we shall see . if this video is anything to go by then i think apc should be very worried because even with the handpicked paid crowd watching shettima ,the handpicked paid crowd still didnt show any good feeling towards the whole event .
No wonder tinubu himself agrees and concluded that he wont attend or cmapiagn in all states , that speaks volumes . apc and wike better develop a solid rigging system because what is coming will be a shocker to them

my own opinion to thi issue is that , people are dying young just to impress others and to make others happy . this has to do with our culture and tradidtion , whereby men were brought up to believe that if they dont PROVIDE ALL THEIR WIVES AND KIDS THEN THEY ARE A FAILURE . This is one one of the reasons you see many people working tirelessly not for themselves but for the many others they have VOLUNTARILY decided to SHOULDER THEIR RESPONSIBI;TY. one thing i hve noticed is that once the peron rpoviding today dies , the peron asking for the support adjusts and moves on with life . so fellow men , do your best and takegood care of yourself FIRST

if this story is true , then there is more to the story than what the man is saying

read the news , the news said UK BASED NIGERIAN , which means he is a nigerian but living or resident in the uk . he is not a uk citizen and does not carry a uk passport

StormpyBee:
He is from UK not Nigeria

soon they will stop that free visa thing they are giving nigrians , i knew it that they will regret giving nigeria visa free access , and if they dont stop they will start serious profiling of nigerians at their airports

LordIsaac:
Barbados again...nawa oooo

it is time for him to leave the national team , he is slowing them down .

majority of those posting dont even know the meaning of the news and instead of verifying or researching for answers they just started insulting the fg . honestly naija educational standards needs serious upgrading , no wonder employers keep saying Nigerian graduates are unemployable

Salowise:
It's actually an upgrade from the previous one, before the process of getting to Tanzania was difficult you have to apply two months and you also have to provide letter of invitation, your need to be cleared by the commissioner before visa approval, but now in just 10 days your visa is ready no long process, just apply as other countries are applying.

isnt this a positive move , or am i wrong ?

that was govt refineries , we know that anything govt has a hand in it will never work , eg nigeria airway and co . but now we have a privately owned local refinery . that is a big plus and bg indicatio that subsidy can work if govt has the political will

nairalanda1:
We did subsidy on locally refined products in the past. It led to our refineries being run at a loss and eventually collapsing ...
and thus we became a net importer of fuel

IgOga:
It's been removed. Anyone telling you they will bring it back are giving you false promises. Unfortunately the powers that removed subsidy is beyond Nigeria

it can be reintroduced , but there is a difference in the old subsidy and the nw one atiku is talking about . the old subsidy was been given to importers , what atiku is talking about is subsidy on LOCALLY REFINED PETROLEUM PRODUCTS , which wil not affect the nation fx , it will be a capped subsidy , maybe about 100 -200 naira , so if the price of petrol is 1200 from dangote , government will take like 200 naira off and Nigerians will pay only 1000

but honestly , plus size women are very loving

obi cant win , the odds are starkly against him most especially with the entrance of makinde into the race , and even before that he cant win.

this makes perfect sense , the govs are working for him , likewise wike it may even work very well because they will be competiting to have the best results , so they will be willing to do extra just to please tinubu. just like a man having two wives willing to outdo each other in pleasing their husband

.

AMINDA:
Tinubu has already secured a middle ground but it was for his own re-election. He has both parties supporting him so why should he care?

tinbu will have to find a middle ground of compromise for the apc governors and wike . and wike overbearing attitud as if he is the only one who knows it all maybe a problem . well lets keep watching

majority of northern politicians in apc are just fooling tinubu , i will be very surprised if he isnt aware of this fact

Racoon:
Uba Sani was busy promising 100% Kaduna votes? Perhaps these equally failed governors think they can continue to kept their citizens in perpetual political subjugation

99% of those posting comments here didnt watch the video clip , they just saw the heading topic and started comenting . nnigeria education needs a total overhaul

the game is to break the southern votes , te north will eventually decide who wins the elections

Makinde must stand against Tinubu to protect his political interests. According to Fayose, Tinubu told him directly in Aso Rock that he does not need Seyi to win. At the same time, Wike has openly declared his intention to wrest Oyo from Makinde’s control, making the stakes even higher.

The assumption that most Yorubas still support Tinubu is misleading. In reality, less than 40% want him to win. If Tinubu had performed strongly, it would have been politically suicidal for Makinde — or any Yoruba leader — to contest against him. But given Tinubu’s weakened standing, Makinde’s resistance is both strategic and necessary.

zoedew:
While I totally agree that Seyi Makinde has done extremely well as Governor, his decision to contest the Presidency against Tinubu another South-Westerner who is also doing well, has pitched him against the typical South-Westerner who wants Tinubu back in office. The reason I say is because his candidacy has the potential to reduce the votes of Tinubu and rob him of an outright victory in Oyo State. If that happens Seyi Makinde’s political will never recover as it will do irreparable damage to his political base which is the South-West. Having said that I still have this hunch that at the last minute Seyi Makinde will step down for Tinubu. Sounds weird but you never know with politicians!

Makinde is set to win Oyo State convincingly. The APC’s poorly conducted primaries left many of its members determined to see the party lose badly. Combined with Makinde’s strong personality and achievements, his popularity has soared. It is doubtful APC will secure even a senatorial seat in the next dispensation. While votes in other South West states may be fragmented, Oyo stands out — here, Makinde is embraced as the people’s beloved leader.

Validated:
Makinde should focus on winning Oyo, Ondo and Osun and leave Tinubu with nothing.

In the current political climate of the South West, his decision to contest the presidency under a new party is not about winning the national seat. Rather, it is a calculated strategy that echoes the footsteps of Tinubu. By positioning himself as the presidential candidate, he becomes the face of the party, ensuring that every campaign rally and every speech doubles as promotion for the party’s senators, representatives, and other candidates.
This approach transforms a presidential campaign into a vehicle for building legitimacy and visibility for a new political platform. While he may not expect to secure the presidency, the symbolic weight of being the party’s flagbearer strengthens its presence across constituencies.
In Oyo State, this strategy is particularly potent. The APC remains destabilized, while Governor Seyi’s popularity, rooted in visible achievements, continues to resonate with the electorate. Against this backdrop, his party stands to gain significantly. By leveraging the presidential campaign to carry along his candidates, he positions the party to win Oyo convincingly, turning a national contest into a local triumph. if you doubt my analysis , go to oyo sate and verfiy

zoedew:
Seyi Makinde’s decision to contest the Presidency was fatal to his political future. He should have focused on becoming a Senator instead. Anyway, he has a second address in the U.S.A. where he keeps his family together and safely too!
