AMINDA:
Wike indeed, delivered Rivers to Tinubu but the people of Rivers never voted for Tinubu. So, Akpabio couldn't even deliver his state? Didn't the people of Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom know it was "Southern turn" when they voted Atiku, a Northerner under the PDP in 2027? Proves my theory that Tinubu is unsellable in the South beyond Yorubaland.
But you said Obi won all Southsouthern states? Udom Emmanuel was the governor in 2023, not Akpabio

AMINDA:
None of the Southsouthern politicians were in the Labour party when Obi won all the Southsouthern states. The governors won all their reelection in their various parties but still failed to deliver Tinubu. Clearly shows that the people are now more enlightened and know what they want. Tinubu is trying to remedy that by bending the rules and having all elections on the same day but it won't save him.
Obi won all Southsouthern states? So your party PDP didn't win Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom? Wike delivered Rivers to APC.

We will make sure only apga remain in the South that is our mission because Soludo is doing well. Our left apc to LP and he will be back to apc for sure under Tinubu govt.

Sorry to tell those shouting one party nothing like one party plan at all but we want to make sure LP and ADC die a complete natural death.

If there's any country that has been a victim of unfairness in football, it's Nigeria, which has cost us Afcon wins, WCQ, and the likes. I even think justice was done to us somehow, considering the undue advantage SA has had in this WCQ series.
Add this case to the list, it was 2003 U17 world cup (Mikel Obi set). FIFA resolved this by tossing of coins and it went against Nigeria and Costa Rica progressed. Sad day. The golden goal rule that favoured us in 1996 Olympics has been abandoned since

They should rest. I know of the political undertones and happenings surrounding Traore's rule, USA's disapproval and his allegiance with Russia. But pls that is all politics. And fortunately not connected to happenings on the pitch or the best 2nd placed table.

Did USA also forsee Nigeria needing this rule back in March? Abegiii

BFA were knocked out because our GD beat theirs and the rule reemphasized since March 14, 2025 was strictly followed. Abi na America change the table or reduce their GD? Abeg rest this angle. It is not connected.

2026 World Cup Qualifiers Fallout: Burkina Faso President Seeks Clarification Over Nigeria’s Playoff Spot

Burkina Faso President, Ibrahim Traoré, has reportedly demanded a detailed explanation from football authorities on how Nigeria secured qualification to the CAF 2026 World Cup playoffs ahead of the Stallions.

According to sources within the Burkinabe presidency, President Traoré expressed deep disappointment and confusion over the outcome, especially given Burkina Faso’s impressive finish to the qualification campaign.

The Stallions were compelled to play their initial qualifying matches away from home due to ongoing renovations at the Stade du 4 Août, which was being upgraded to meet CAF standards.

Upon returning to their refurbished home ground, Burkina Faso produced crucial wins and believed their efforts were sufficient to progress only to learn that Nigeria had advanced instead

The Eritrea factor hit Burkina Faso the most. They earned 21 points from regular matches, but had 9 goals and 6 points deducted, which cost them a playoff spot

Is the Tinubu government not engaging in mindless borrowing even borrowing far more than previous administrations despite no longer paying fuel subsidies and claiming it has met its revenue targets and is?

What infrastructure development are you even referring to? Is it the so-called Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway a project shrouded in secrecy, where the Minister of Works, who fraudulently claimed to be a professor, only backtracked when exposed by saying he’s a professor in practice? Up till now, they’ve refused to tell Nigerians the cost per kilometer. It’s nothing more than a fraudulent, money-laundering scheme disguised as infrastructure.
I actually don't understand your message. My response was to the state governors

He just needs a win in his last game and he’s lamenting already after playing most of his games in one country. What a shame! If they can’t beat Rwanda then they had no business aspiring to play in the World Cup in the first place. Trash!
He needs more than a win, you forgot Benin is topping the group, what if Benin also win?
I was very mad with Benin when South Africa defeated them at Benin home, that result is what is keeping the group open by now, if Benin had won or got a draw from that match, by now, they would have qualified.
PoliticsRe: On The Origin Of Evil by opes: 7:59am On Oct 12, 2025
The question is, why were they borrowing and indebting their states back then, even with little infrastructural development, if you claim the money then had more value?
Now, every state governor has reduced their debt profile and is undertaking massive infrastructural development with the "tissue paper"

Again, why are they not owing salaries now unlike before?

This is good. The results obtained from the bottom team will not count, even the goals scored, I guess. Burkina Faso, for example, scored a total of 10 goals against Djibouti (the bottom placed team in group A).
Apart from the 6 points, will the goals scored also be removed?

That is why Uche Nnaji is the ULTIMATE fuccccccccxk-up guy!

Tinubu's government is filled with people who have MORE skeletons in their cupboards than a GRAVEYARD.

Hell, there are serious questions about the IDENTITY of Tinubu himself.

And the Chairman of Tinubu's party is a DOLLAR-THIEVING menace.

Tinubu's son has a company getting TRILLIONS of Naira in government contracts.

Yet NONE of them are bothered.

Ordinary certificate SCANDAL, Nnaji resigned.

In fact, he should be INVESTIGATED.
He might NOT be a Nigerian.

Who knows?
If he lied about Certificates, he might be lying about his Nationality.

No TRUE Nigerian politician would ever resign because of ORDINARY Certificate scandal.
