they must have spotted the qualities in him before picking that role for him, maybe he has been exhibiting good striking skills and prowess in training. good luck to him

Israel has a bigger picture, the objective of Israel is not just to throw bombs here and there in Iran and go back. I Israel wants to
DECAPITATE AND INCAPACITATE IRAN TO THE EXTENT THAT IRAN WILL NOT BE ABLE TO THREATEN HER ANYMORE FOREVER, SECONDLY, ISRAEL IS TARGETING REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN, THIS IS WHY THE AMERICANS ARE SUPPORTING ISRAEL IN THIS OPERATION
October 7 was a big mistake for the terrorists in the middle east because it served no purpose and achieved nothing, it only gave the Israelis the excuse they have been looking for all these years to take out all their enemies, now they have nearly finished Hezbollah and they know they know Iran cant use Hezbollah efficiently like they used to in the past, Lebanon is even in ruins, they have created a buffer zone between Lebanon and their borders, now is the time to face Iran

This man Peter Obi is doing the right things and I think Tinubu and APC needs to be worried . He is bridging gaps most especially with the north and keeping his base intact by communicating and interacting with them . I like his approach . With the way he is doing ,he will be a darling bride for any serious opposition party come 2027

This is just the plain truth many don't want to hear . The only way to beat Tinubu is for all opposition parties to come together as on ane and that is something Tinubu will never allow to happen

you are very very correct

Sharpsharp00123:
bro it's all about calculation

North will prefer to vote tinubu, allow him use 4 years no matter how bad n have it back again for 8 years

If Peter obi enters, that's a fresh start of 8 years meaning d north will b out of power for 12 years

U n I know they can't stay that long

I don't know if he will win but this is the first time we will have an opposition figure that will be working for years before election and building goodwill nationally .
Other contestants only start working when it is like a year to elections

The only way to win a ruling party in Nigeria is to present. A common front . If all opposition parties unite , they have a greater chance of winning . 215 APC victory of Buhari, 2019 Oyo State Guber elections which Seyi won against the ruling APC . Are recent examples .
But if you all go to elections with different political parties , the ruling party will always win , that is why it is called divide and rule and that is why many of these contestants fizzle out after elections because they were actually sponsored to split votes , see what happened in 2023 , Obi took his own share of votes , same as Kwankwaso and Atiku .but if Kwankwaso has remained in PDP , PDP could have won Kano . It is never good to a battle with divided army

Ivimmanuel:
Tinubu must be a very likeable person for you to think the crisis in PDP will give him an easy reelection. Only one PDP candidate will be on the ballot in the end and don't you think if political parties produce good candidates then the odds are against Tinubu? Judgding from his performance so far

Lolz , party that is about to break up .

You may not be in jail and lose your baby face . Stress na your mate ? Baba forget I don’t think this guy was in jail . But the stress of the high profile case is enough to make anyone age

There is no way he will look younger . He has aged that is all. He is looking very well. There is no way someone can remain the same for four years without looking older

Lolz . He will join APC ,be granted presidential pardon, and he will contest in 2027. Life goes back to normal. Naija for you

lolz , this is exactly what Wike and Tinubu have been planning all along , and it will eventually happen before 2027 elections . PDP will break into pieces , as long as Wike is in PDP , there is no way there will be peace in PDP and anyone who isn't happy is free to leave . Wike will ensure that PDP breaks apart and that will actually work well for Tinubu reelection . The new fiction will present a good strong candidate for presidential election , Wike will provide his own ,Tinubu will contest , another faction of APC too will present . By the time they all go to the polls we will have a repeat of 2023 elections . The only thing that can affect Tinubu is if the breakaway faction of pdp join forces with the breakaway faction of APC , then that might pose some challenges for Tinubu

Why are they stopping her or is it him from travelling ? She isn't under bail ? She has served her sentence . So what crime has she committed that made the immigration to stop her from travelling ? She is not a wanted person either . Nothing will come out of all this , she will be released soon ,

IfnobeGod20:
Even after been cheated of two states. Rivers and Benue states. He would have won 14, if the actual results were announced and left Tinubu with just 10 states.

The man really tried oo , for a first timer . He did well

ClearFlair:
Israel will continue to crush terrorists no matter the cost

Israel dey try , they are fighting on almost 5 different fronts at the same time and yet none of their enemies have been able to pull them down . They have dealt a very very decisive blow to the houtis and since they destroyed houtis facilities there has been relative calm on the red sea axis . They have almost totally destroyed Hamas and have stopped Hamas capability to shoot missiles into Israel. They are also at the same time facing and pushing hezonlallh back and trying to create a buffer One between Lebanon and Israel
And at the same time planning a massive massive operation against Iran that will virtually cripple Iran militarily

CodeTemplarr:
I get the impression the marketers are blackmailing refiners (with hope of NNPC stepping in and pressuring refiners or subsidizing) into selling petrol at below intl cost.
If they are not eyeing smuggling across borders i see no reason to be crying more than the bereaved(the poor masses). Their job is to buy and resell at a profit and not to push for lower prices for final consumers around west africa and in Nigeria.

oil marketers are the same govt officials . There is still a budget allocation of around 4trillion naira for subsidy payment. No marketer will want to lose his or her own share .

Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, all won 12 states each and Tinubu was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for polling the highest number of votes.


Whaoo Peter Obi tried oo. So without Wike and any popular party Obi still won 12 states!! Very very impressive. Atiku too tried sha .

Nothing new , the army , navy , governors,senators and all have been involved in oil bunkering since .and it has been public knowledge now since 1999. Asari should say something new . All these is just distractions .
The only person that can be or should be surprised about this is someone born just 5 years or 7 years ago .
This news is like someone coming out to say some customs officials help some people to smuggle rice into Nigeria. That no be anything new

nairalanda1:
Well all the issues arose from the fact that subsidized fuel is not a way to make the petroleum sector profitable

Unless one is paying productive subsides , not the one we do.

It's a bit simple. If we want fuel right now to be costing 200 naira a liter, government would have to pay a subsidy of 800 naira per liter.

Said subsidy costs could rise with rising crude prices.

That hits the budget and forces more loan taking.

Your focus is on the symptoms and root cause . You are looking at the superstructure and not the foundation of this crisis. The foundation is that for years now over 1 Million barrels of crude is been stolen daily .
The root cause is that for years and years now We have not been able to reduce our own fuel from our refinery..
Can't they fix this ? This is what idiagnon said then when he was in power and people asked him about the economy, he said there is nothing wrong with the economy and that what is wrong is indiscipline In the system , discipline Nigerians and everything else will fall into place . The corruption is not going to make any policy work in Nigeria

nairalanda1:
Subsidy payments started in 1973 as a result of the high crude prices due to Yom kippur war.

Back then we had two refineries, soon to be four by 1990.

ok I agree but what have we done since 1973. It is different thing subsidizing something produced locally and something imported . Govt says they are subsidizing electricity, noone is even talking about that because it is locally produced so the subsidy is negligible and I'm local currency but when we have to. Subsidised products from abroad that is when it becomes detrimental to the economy. We should be producing our own petrol and fuel ,even if the subsidy is on it in naira ,people won't be affected much . The root cause of this is that these politicians ,banks and all of them are making bastard money from this fuel importation and oil payment scam going on .
The million dollar question is why can't we be producing our own fuel with all the human and natural resources that we have ? That is the problem

nairalanda1:
Well, when you sell fuel at a price below its production cost, and the subsidy proves inadequate to cover the resulting loss, the result is loss of refineries, corruption, mass importation of fuel, and massive smuggling.

See Venezuela. Fuel is sold for less than 50 naira per liter...and they have all the issues we have.

Even Iran which manages to subsidize fuel and keep a working domestic refining system (sanctions taught them the importance of domestic industries)...has a massive debt as a result. To remove subsides is tormenting the government, but they know it means riots and protests...so....

these subsidy payments started when our refineries stopped working and when we resorted to importation, what makes it bad is that we are subsidizing in dollars, it would have been a different scenario if we were subsidizing in naira . if our refineries are working optimally and there is no more crude oil bunkering, we won't know anything about subsidies because it will all be in naira .
The major root cause of all these wahala is the refineries which aren't working at all and how they have intentionally refused to make it work for over 30 years, and the blatant oil theft going on in the niger delta. it is really terrible

i see nothing wrong about smuggling OUT OF THE COUNTRY, the only reason why the government is talking about it is that they are subsidizing the importation of petrol, but the million-dollar question we should ask the government is why should the 8th largest oil-producing nation in the world be exporting crude oil and importing petrol? is there no land to build refineries? why are the refineries not working? If all our refineries are working, including Dangote, there will be no need for subsidy payment. why have they for over 30 years been unable to repair our refinery, since the time of Frank Kokori oooo,ibb must go days. are the refinery spare parts from heaven or what?

trust me, if all our refineries are working optimally, no one will even talk about smuggling petrol out people will be looking for them to buy. the second aspect i
the second is oil bunkering, why should 90% of our crude be stolen daily? they want to catch those selling petrol to other countries but those who bring in big tanker ships to load hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil daily are escorted by our security agencies in and out, let note that these are[b] STOLEN CRUDE OIL, NO MONEY WAS PAID TO GOVERNMENT[/b], at least those selling pms to Cameroon still buy it at pump price and pay

michlins:
so instead of the government to do its job by securing the border and using intelligence to combat cross border smuggling, they decided to punish the masses and inflict unimaginable pains on them?

Bobloco:
There's no consequences or crisis that will arise from Wike's expulsion that he hasn't
caused the party already so far

exactly my point . But just wait and see how things will pan out , you will be shocked that even if and when damagum is removed , PDP will still foot drag in expelling Wike , instead they will come out and say there should be reconciliation. Just wait and see

Bobloco:
What is keeping Wike in the PDP is the Damagum PDP led executive.

Partly yes and that is because he is supported by many powerful PDP governors and members . This is exactly what I am saying . I am yet to hear of pdp making any example out of any of the G5 members . Wike has said it many times that his G5 organisation has many members who are not even talking and always waiting for his instructions. PDP has to take a decision ,either to continue with Wike excesses and keep losing public support or to just Damm the consequences and expel him from the party

If this are the kind of people Atiku surrounds himself with ,then no wonder he keeps losing elections all the time

Lolz
Power must change hands at one time or the other . That is life

Bobloco:
All that is required to kill and cure Wike's madness is to suspend him from the PDP, and it's over for him.
 
The APC, he once described as a party infected with terminal cancer, is available for him to move into.
 
Abi, you would not like wike to join APC.

Wike won't leave PDP o. It is like an insurance cover for him . And secondly many of those in PDP secretly go to Wike for favours daily , he is trying to play a smart game by holding 2 fortresses but it seems fubara wants to make one of the fortresses totally useless , reason why fubara is propping up app.
Wike has committed the worst sins any party member can do but yet PDP hasn't even suspended him talkless of expelling him.
Everyone keeps saying they want Wike out of pdp, the question is why hasn't PDP done so ? The simple reason is because he has many many key strong loyalist members in PDP. So the party is finding it difficult to expel him without crashing the party .

All the billions upon billions they have been spending would have done this , this is what they should have prioritised from the beginning.
So need building any stupid college . Just bring in the companies from China ,get them to manufacture the products here , give it to government workers first on loans based policy, Let every govt worker have at least 2.5kv to 5kv solar inverter , battery and panels ,deduct it from their salaries ,by the time they do it for one year without full aggression ,they will see the impact and then later make it open for all Nigerians on a buy now pay later basis
