What they did in 2023, which didn't work, is what they have started doing again. This was where Lagos copied the template they used during the governorship election from
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will return to its traditional two-year cycle following a decision confirmed at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee meeting on Thursday,
The decision was confirmed after the conclusion of Thursday's CAF Executive Committee meeting, marking a significant development in the future organisation of Africa's flagship football competition.
DesignDev: na so. I hope you know there are indigenous Igbos in Rivers and Delta state you call South South? Let’s not talk about others in that region who don’t want your Tinubu.
Una own na to stay online Dey talk nonsense.
Even your Tinubu does not hold this view and that why they have uploaded AI profiles on INEC portal because Tinubu knows he doesn’t have the numbers.
Una go learn. No so
So, the NDC will win the South-South because there are indigenous Igbo people in Delta and Rivers States? But Tinubu cannot win any state in the North because there ain't indigenous Yoruba people in Kwara and Kogi States in the North-Central?
slivertongue: APM in Bauchi and Oyo is for a purpose. Northern PDP is largely with AA. Southern PDP with PO, Rivers PDP with Wike. LP is already campaigning with PO. I don't want to hear they betrayed the ailing president
APM cannot win in Oyo State. Try to be in Oyo and see what is happening there. The PDP, APC, the popular Accord Party, and other parties are forming a rainbow coalition. Even within the APM, there are factions and they have endorsed PBAT. Ibadan politics does not favour incumbency when the opposition unites against you. Ajimobi, despite being an incumbent governor, lost his senatorial election.
AMINDA: Combined total votes cast across Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina states = 4,238,973.
Combined total votes cast across the Southwest = 4,070,671
Men lie, women lie, but numbers don't.
In any Northern state that Tinubu doesn’t win, he will come a close second. In the Southern states, the votes will be a contest between him (Tinubu) and Obi. Very clear?
AMINDA: He was not a political infant when he did anti-party and supported Tinubu in 2023, making Tinubu win Oyo with over 400k votes, which is twice the number Wike rigged for him in Rivers. He only became an infant for choosing a different path after Tinubu connived with the same Wike to chase him out of PDP for fear of any opposition. Tinubu did not support Obasanjo all through his 8-year tenure. No one called him an infant for opposing Obasanjo. Omoluabi Seyi Makinde owes Tinubu nothing! We would have said Oyo is not Lagos, but Tinubu even lost in Lagos.
The difference between APC and Atiku’s party in the 2023 presidential election results in Oyo State was around 250,000 votes. That margin will widen in 2027 with Makinde on the ballot. The contest is between APC and ADC, whatever votes Makinde gets won’t matter. Makinde’s presence on the ballot will hurt Atiku even more. Atiku got 183,000 votes in Oyo State in 2023, but with Oluwaseyi on the ballot, I doubt Atiku will get up to 10,000 votes in the state in 2027.
Ahayalift: Her father is for Obi, he has far more political weight and he recently criticized Tinubu again. I prefer Obi to win too, I believe he would perform far more better.
Obasanjo has political weight? How many elections has he ever delivered his polling unit for his preferred candidates? How many times has he even delivered his polling unit for himself? Obasanjo convincing Kwankwaso to become Obi's running mate would be to Tinubu's advantage. They were both lured away from the ADC.
The Federation of International Football Association, FIFA, has approved the appointment of a normalisation committee to oversee the affairs of the Nigeria Football Federation,NFF, pending the conduct of fresh elections into its Executive Committee.
In a letter signed by FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström and addressed to the NFF’s Acting General Secretary, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, the world football governing body stated that the committee would comprise a suitable number of members to be jointly appointed by FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) as soon as possible.
According to FIFA, the committee will be responsible for managing the federation’s affairs until a new NFF Executive Committee is elected.
Kog45: Okay Akor Adams too dey face defenders from Juventus,Inter Milan,AC Milan,Napoli,Lazio,Roma..pls do we considered this analysing him despite playing for Venezia?
League quality matters. That is why Osimhen is being urged to leave Turkey. Akor Adams hasn’t set Serie A alight with goals anyway. My point of argument is based on the 3 stats you posted.
Kog45: My post is not to judge but going somewhere and you have given me one of the areas through your comment....are you saying we should be rating players in top 5 league differently?
Okoye is facing strikers from Juventus, inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, Como...that should be considered.
Bauchi is an opposition controlled state. Imagine if this had happened in an APC led state against opposition candidate, it would have been given a different meaning. This is the same Bauchi where they had already declared that Tinubu could not win.
Kemetian: THAT FAKE WEBSITE ''Izi Visas'' that claims Nigeria Passport Rankings fell from 90 to 181 IS OWNED BY ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL NAMED Kévin Boileux BASED IN THE BACKWATER, RACIST MAGA STATE OF WYOMING, USA.
THE OFFICIAL, INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED SOURCE FOR PASSPORT RANKINGS IS THE HENLEY PASSPORT INDEX.
Finally and good development.I respect Senator Teslim Folarin even more. I thought he would leave the party after the disappointment of the 2023 election, but he stayed. He did not contest in the APC primary this time, instead, he played the role of a true leader. Adelabu and Florence Ajimobi are the next to join the likes of Engineer "Allow Alao", to show their support for Senator Sharafadeen Alli.
success1smyn: You're correct but it was his and his predecessor's misgovernance that allowed Adeleke. Now that they lost to same Adeleke what's left? Also Omisore was one of those that clearly opposed Adeleke's defection thinking he will get the ticket but unfortunately he didn't.
Oyetola used Omisore to oppose Adeleke's defection and Abuja later used the same Omisore to ensure Adeleke's victory..
Ahayalift: Exactly! This is why I really salute the genuine humanistic heart of Kwankwaso. He could have come out as Presidential Candidate too, but he's a truly Great Man that honours South-North Agreement of rotational Presidency, and that's why he humbled himself to deputize and support our Peter Obi. After Obi's tenure, Kwankwaso is and would still be the best to carry on Continuity of Obi's Leadership of Nigeria into Greatness. Although with the terrible way Tinubu has ruled, I will chose even Atiku over Tinubu any day, if Kwankwaso and Obi options was not available.

So he forgot about the North- South agreement when he contested in 2023 immediately after Buhari's 8 years rule? Kwakwanso is planning his own game for 2031, not because of any love for Obi
badoh: Atiku, se na by force Obi must step down for you? So if Obi no step down, you don't have another strategy to win election? I thought you believe the northern vote is enough to make you president? Obi must not step down for you so you'll know the south is also a very strategic region northerners must respect when it comes to power play. Even as popular as Buhari is, not until he made alliance with strategic forces in the south, that was when he won.
He is just waking up to know the importance of Southern votes. With all Buhari's 12 million Northern votes, he couldn't become president until he alligned with the South. One nuisance will be disturbing the peace here shouting Northern votes upandan. Atiku will neither win nor come second in any Southern states.
Can atiku get 5% of votes from those three states?
No Southern state will give Atiku 20%. He usually performs well in Oyo State. He even defeated Buhari there in 2019 and secured over 183,000 votes in 2023. But in 2027, he won’t even smell 10,000 votes in Oyo with Makinde on the ballot. Instead of picking Makinde as his running mate, he was allegedly demanding 10 billion naira from him and went for Amaechi, who cannot even win his own local government.lol
favor914: Typical delusional Empty Barrel Cho Cho Cho Obidients.
The APC came 2nd in Osun state, can anyone tell me how many votes the Adc & The Ndc combined collated in the Just concluded Osun State governorship election .
That election has humbled Aregbe. 17,000 votes was too disappointing.
EElopa: it was not news. Everything I wrote there can be seen on his podcast. He also said that spots on Nigerian youth teams under the NFF were reserved for players based on religion and ethnicity. People interested should go and watch the podcast on YouTube. GANT FOOTBALL. The guy hosting that program have inside sources within the NFF.
Saying he doesn't have coaching certification is unfair to him. On paper, he is sound. Can we say Finidi also didn't have coaching certificates when he first coached Rivers united in continental competition?
