A local champion built his party ACN from the scratch, won 6 states, had 6 governors from 2 regions, 19 Senators including Ngige from the SE, and 50 HOR members, the Minority leader seat of the NASS, 136 House of Assembly members. Tell us anyone else who did it like him.

The highest I have paid is 16,500.
This month alone I have spent almost 101,500.
The truth of the matter is that once you start sleeping with olosho, it is very hard to leave.
May God help me

You should have tarried until evening before you send in this information! Now, certain folks are going to have their innards turned upside down or commit communal suicide before you can say, Biafra or Afghaneastern or IPOB or Unpaid Labourers.

Tinubu is the best candidate in the race based on the public service records of the top three contenders. All lovers of good governance must support him. He is the only candidate with the courage to dislodge the corrupt establishment, bring shared prosperity to Nigerians and fight insecurity without caring about whose ox is gored. He’s our best choice for 2023.

My third eye is telling me Nigerians will finally settle for Atiku. The APC muslim-Muslim ticket will greatly affect them, we all know Obi is going nowhere for now.

Confirms that you and your Atiku are foreigners.
Atiku lives in Dubai. You probably live in the UK.

Happy Sunday nairalanders.

I can't believe there are still men who don't watch football or know nothing about sports.

I was watching who wants to be a millionaire and this particular question was thrown to this guy.. I couldn't believe the guy didn't know the answer. Baba was totally confused and speechless. He even requested in using one of his lifeline options by calling a friend. Omo! I just dey laugh. And the answer is B. I have to capture the moment.

I can't do without watching sports especially football, boxing and wrestling. There's no question you will throw at me about football or other sport games that I won't give you an accurate answer. I know all football leagues competition round the world even Nigeria premier league I do follow up too.

Football is fun especially when you're arguing, teasing, defending, laughing, throwing banters at each other's club while drinking your cold beer.

Even here on nairaland when there's a live match update, I do visit the thread because I always enjoy the banter fans throw at each other.. It really fun.

Those of you that don't watch football or know nothing about sports.. Please how do you spend your weekends? How do you live your life? Is life not boring for you guys? Please I need to know.

Funny, there are 2 more states in the north than the south. Just 2! So what really is this proliferation you keep talking about? All over 2 states? The north has the bulk of the population of this country and corresponding landmass, so how do you expect its people to be underrepresented or disenfranchised?

Yoruba1stson:
Nah only ikeja be this ooh, no be like those brainless ipob pigs wey dey shout 20 million march and people no go reach 2000 in the whole state... Come 2023, we go separate boys from men and those that will resume their biafra or death go resume but they will be dealt with seriously

I consider discussions about Nigeria's charged regional politics to be a waste of time but I'll make an exception today.

For over 40 years, southern nigerians have blown hot but always fizzled out when it matters most.

The most recent example of this is the Southern Governors forum. The forum blew hot after its last meeting and issued a communique with its stated demands (you know what those demands were) to show it meant business. Where are they today?

Yes, Nigeria is a deeply unjust country with a lopsided and ultimately unworkable structure. But I put it to you: Nobody from Northern Nigeria can win a major election at the federal level without support from the South. The base is a tripod (North, East, West) and politically, no one leg can stand without the support of at least one other leg.

For over 40 years, popular culture has had northern nigerians portrayed as dim witted, illiterate, clueless incompetents. And yet they continue to outmanoeuver and outwit their 'supposed' southern nigerian superiors, time and time again. Does this make any sense? Who is the clueless and dimwitted one here?

You are completely off it. British colonialists decided for their own interests to make areas south of the niger ‘NORTH’ i.e. Kwara, Kogi and Benue. To be honest, each of these states 3 states including northern Edo (Auchi) are heavily historically influenced by the north.

There is no lopsidedness created by northerners. In fact, the first ‘state creation’ was the midwest state (bendel) that was split from the western region. After this, state creation has generally been even across zones. The last state round of creation in the north was during Abacha i.e. NW Zamfara, NE Gombe, NC Nasarawa, SW Ekiti, SE Ebonyi and SS Bayelsa. IBB went a similar route with the creation of Abia, Akwa Ibom, Delta-Edo and Enugu states. Reciprocation involved Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Adamawa-Taraba and Yobe.

This shortchanging is in your mind. In any case, who says states like Osun and Ebonyi are viable? How many states in Nigeria are viable today? Goodluck Jonathan was the one that scuttled rotation. This is the fact. He was supposed to finish Yar’adua’s tenure and step down but due to his amazing shortsightedness, he not only ran in 2011 but in 2015 as well. His supporters said what at the time? “No such thing as zoning in the constitution”. You want to cry foul now? Its too late. The south jettisoned rotation for short term goals. You cannot bring it back now. In any case, rotation is not the law of the land and what is considered north today is two thirds of Nigeria’s land mass with 19 states while the south with barely a one third of the land mass has 17 tiny states. So really who has been shortchanged?

If you remove Lagos, which attracts people from all over the country living there. The south also has a much smaller population than the north yet you feel power should be shared equally…on what basis? Landmass, raw population or religion? Or maybe ‘feelings’ if you want power rotation make a constitutional case for it, push for its addition in the constitution.

Will votes from Northwest and Northeast alone make Atiku president?

Or where in the South is Atiku expecting his votes?

Before you go to bed this night, just bear in Mind that President Muhammadu Buhari will be in Onitsha/Asaba this October to Commission the Second Niger Bridge

If you are among those who derive pleasure in abusing Buhari, ask God to forgive you before you retire to bed this night

Guyman01:
Like joke like joke campaign has not even started and people are coming out Massively like this on their own

When I ask Obidients why they are supporting their candidate, they tell me that they want a leader they will feel that they put in power and if he messes up they will challenge him and tell him to his face that failure is not part of the mandate.

Kwankwaso is still busy telling us that the north is not ready to leave power now. We shall see!

1. Is north-south presidential rotation stated in the Nigerian constitution (1999 as amended)? If not, your argument falls flat! Modern nations are governed by laws and process not ‘feelings’ and ‘considerations’

2. The PDP convention picked Atiku, this convention allowed for delegates from all 36 states and the FCT to pick their party’s candidate. Delegates from the south voted for Atiku, why didn’t they have ‘feelings’ that power should return to the south? Because a political party exists to win elections and form a government. The PDP delegates put their best foot forward.

3. Federal character principle has nothing to do with power rotation. It simply implies that political appointments should be spread to accommodate every part of the country as opposed to concentrated in one part of the country. Not that the presidency, an elective office, should be bounced around between two regions or only 3 tribes. The fact that the top 4 offices in the land are shared between geopolitical zones is a convention not law. This is why it can be disregarded i.e. present VP and speaker are from the same region.

4. Lastly, do yourself a favor and go get a proper education.
