God bless you sir for your objectivity, Nigerians no dey reason again, Na emotions dey reason for them.

How pls if I may ask? Was Amupitan not a private citizen in 2023 and free to support and vote whoever he chooses to. Cos I don't get all una shouting like say d man commit crime for supporting a polical party in 2023 as a private citizen.

Racoon:
INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan, is really feeling the heat. He was caught red-handed supporting Bola Tinubu and the APC. To show how confused and panicked he is, he changed his username and then rushed to open a brand new X account claiming it wasn't his.

His actions only prove the allegations are true. Why change your username and open a new account? Does he think Nigerians are fools like Tinubu's supporters? I don't know who is advising him, but he looks lost and confused.

If you can't see my point then you really are not smart.

SmartPolician:
Next time, make a point. Stop wasting the precious cyberspace

How dense can you be. U just call urself Smart but the distance between u and smartness can be liken to the Badagry to Sokoto Highway

I used to like this man in papi luwe back then untill I witnessed what he did to one igbo trader at Lagos international trade fair at TBS back then,he was advertising one company's product with some yoruba drummers one of the drummer pushed down goods belonging to one igbo man instead of them to say they are sorry these jide kosoko started abusing the igbo man in the stand the igbo man paid for at TBS since then I don't regard him again, 1997 or 1998

Gateway international cargo airport is at remo which is in Sagamu local government.

Globad:
You dey mind them? Which airport is even in Sagamu for the jet to land?

No bro u are wrong. The nearest airport to sagamu is the new and functional cargo airport at remo which is in Sagamu local government.

Christistruth00:
Lagos and Sagamu his hometown are right next to each other
The nearest Airport to Sagamu is still Lagos Airport so he still needed to travel by road

So ur leaders will be d one to drive you around now as per say dem be ur driver una go just dey make senseless comments. The other time Lagos State government enforce speed limit on third mainland bridge Na una still dey complain, if FRSC tries stopping you on d expressway Na still una go wan jam dem comot for road yet I keep on blaming govt instead of taking responsibility.
RIP to the dead, it was an unnecessary death. May God heal their families

harsysky:
I pray you will not escape it too. She is right. It's our leaders that can control this things and not even the drivers

Abeg wetin u wan make dem do, is it d fault of the politicians abi Na dem be d driver, d road is good no be say e no good. It's probably overspeeding. Abi make politicians com dey drive us around now

Melagros:
COMRADES, and the politicians don't care about ugly situations like this, what they are after is how rig their way in 2027

Which Frank Abagnale work for FBI? Y is dis man always lying to validate himself. Frank wey be say Na confirm conman.

Wow. This is a first, hope to see more of it.

SmartPolician:
The road is beautiful! Congratulations to Rivers people and well done to this administration for completing the road that the previous administration initiated

Bro we are going to another year, pls drop all your negative energy about Nigeria. The change we wish for start with me and you, if other nationalities are talking bad about us then it's ur duty to tell them all the good thing about our country and make them realise that a few bad eggs cannot spoil the whole of our country.

SmartPolician:
I don't know why we keep deceiving ourselves. Nigeria has a terribly bad image abroad. If I share the message from one American I sent a proposal to work for, you will begin to pity this country. That's for someone who's vocal. Other reserved ones will just pretend about the whole thing because they are probably avoiding a backlash.

Op, ur colos supplier must be topnotch cos all ur posts always have the trademark of highness in it. U always post what you imagine when you were in highland

Sorry to say this, Peter Obi is evil. Have he listened to Kanu's broadcasts on radio biafra? I have and it chilled me to the bones. It was worse than the cockroach broadcasts of Rwanda that fuelled the Rwandan genocide. Selective memory is evil. Peter Obi doesn't have the courage expected of the commander-in-chief.

Obi believed because some people might misbehave if Nnamdi Kanu is jailed then he should be acquitted and not made to do the time for all his atrocities. The man was given so many opportunities to defend himself but he refused and instead was throwing tantrums and abusing everybody in court.

Is it not an irony that those that did not know the law convicted him Kanu that knows the law and jail him for life.

Seriously this man cannot rule this diverse nation. Saying it was wrong of the government to convict and jail him. And Obi himself was in Nigeria when Kanu was threatening the southwest particularly Lagos State, instructing his foot soldiers to burn Lagos down and also kill all security agents in the Southeast.

mascot87:
So will it not be injustice if Simon Ekpa, the second in command of the Ipob terrorist is serving his jail term in Finland and then the chief ipob terrorist Nnamdi Kanu is left free. How does that sound in the ear of this dumb Peter Obi and why didn't he ask the Finland government to release Simon Ekpa too?

Former Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says the conviction and sentencing of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, last will only aggravate the tension in Nigeria.

In a statement he released this afternoon November 22, Obi maintained that Kanu should never have been arrested. He opined that Kanu's arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.



Obi argued that the concerns Kanu raised were not "unheard of, the issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble and that it only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness of the government to listen to them and proffer solutions."



The former Anambra state governor said that the Federal government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity.



His statement reads

‘’Kanu’s Conviction: At a Time Like This.

The news of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should compel every well-meaning Nigerian to pause and reflect. This is coming at a time when our beloved nation is facing severe economic hardship, insecurity, and the consequences of poor governance.

Rather than reducing tension, this unfortunate development may well only aggravate it.

I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. His arrest, detention, and now conviction represent a failure of leadership and a misunderstanding of the issues at stake.

For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted. In this case, I submit that the reason was not only not exhausted, but was probably not explored at all, or not fully explored.
The concerns Kanu raised were not unheard of. The issues for which he demanded solutions were not insoluble. It only required wisdom, empathy, and a willingness to listen. In any functional society, such grievances are met with dialogue and reforms aimed at strengthening unity.
The government’s approach has only deepened mistrust and created an avoidable distraction at a time when citizens are overwhelmed by harsh economic realities and insecurity. While some may insist that “the law has taken its course,” leadership often demands more than a strict, mechanical application of the law. Nations around the world resort to political solutions, negotiated settlements, and even amnesty when legal processes alone cannot serve the broader interest of peace and stability. Nigeria is not an exception.

The handling of Kanu’s case mirrors the government as a man trapped in a hole but who, instead of looking for a way out, keeps digging deeper. It worsens not only the government’s predicament but also the nation's collective condition.
If we truly desire a new Nigeria - a united, peaceful, and progressive one, our leaders must choose healing over hostility, reconciliation over retaliation, and dialogue over division. Only by addressing grievances with justice, fairness, and compassion can we move towards a future where every Nigerian feels heard, valued, and safe.

My ultimate call at this time, without prejudice to how anyone feels about the decision of the court, is for us to be optimistic for peace and reconciliation which will come in the end. I am also saying, thereby, that the Presidency, the Council of State and credible statesmen who love this country and who are interested in cohesion and inclusivity, should rise to the occasion, for a lasting solution.''

I thought that Isaac Fayose is normal. He is as eccentric as his brother Ayo Fayose. Ayo Fayose made the family. Isaac Fayose opened his mouth so wide to attack PBAT trying to be in the good books of Awon Araabi his inlaws. Let him check out Jonathan's Appointments below:

Those whining about PBAT's choice of appointments in the government went on vacation to Mars when they took the reigns of power from the amiable Pres. GEJ and positioned themselves. Nasty folks from the Hades!

I think this can make most of the Obidients dumb as they accuse Tinubu of Nepotism

Courtesy:Akin Alabi



This is for those of you accusing PBAT of nepotism. Jonathan did it same with late Buhari but una no see those ones Na Tinubu own una see and besides Na north get appointment pass in this administration.

Bro they are not dumb like u insinuate, it is just their blind hatred for the Tinubu government that is making them look dumb.

Kingju:
People are dumb oo, I'm seeing comments up here and I'm surprised, these guys up here, making silly comments and supporting the farmers, are you guys dumb or just didn't bother to read.

Farmers harvested their farm products, they decided to keep (hide) the products thinking price would shoot up so that they can continue ripping their fellow Nigerians, FG intervened and crashed the prices( prices of foodstuffs kept going down). Now the farmers are complaining that why would the prices of foodstuff drop.

Some foolish people that made comments up here are saying FG did bad. How people brain take dey work for goodness sake?

Another one from Kobojunkie

So who is d ethnic bigot here? Is it Tinubu who appointed Mr Ben Akabueze from d southeast(Anambra) as a commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning and Mr Arthur Worrey who he made commissioner for land in his cabinet from the south south(Delta State) and not forgetting Mr Lai Muhammed from Kwara State(North Central).
Yes Peter Obi is on another level of ethnic bigotry and religion intolerance. Yorubas voted massively for Obi in d Southwest did the southeast do d same for Tinubu no. In fact I leave u to ur conscience cos there's no point reasoning with you guys.

owobokiri:
All politicians are NOT the same.

Stop trying to spread guilt by Association.
Peter Obi is on another level when juxtaposed with Tinubu. You guys always like to make this sickening arguments about how Nigerians should accept your flawed candidates because "all politicians are the same". It is a lie! All politicians are not drug barons. All politicians are not willing murderers. All politicians are not driven by sectionalism and tribalism.
Defend your Pablo Escobar with another line, ahbegi..

What next?

You will tell me that all parts of Nigeria are responsible for the gorry state of affairs in the country, when only 2 regions have held sway at the federal level for the better part of a century. Make that make sense. You make all the laws, you created all the states and local governments, you flooded the civil service with your ethnic henchmen, the army, the police, the customs. Everything depended on your policies since 1966!!! But when it backfires, you start sharing blames around like confetti 🎊..
Omo, go and rest!
Rest, ahbegi..

A simple question was ask and u wrote a whole epistle without saying anything meaningful. Why can't d southeast present a credible candidate instead of Peter Obi. Bro d earlier u understand that ALL POLITICIANS ARE THE SAME d better for ur sanity. U can't be washing ur candidate with hypo and not expect ur opponents too not to wash theirs too with hypo.

owobokiri:
Looks like you forgot to log out from this moniker and then log into one if those your "firefight monikers" before posting this one..
Just Try to be a MOD for once..
A mod is like a referee. Try to be one.
You make some of us feel unease here.
There is no way you can be impartial with this kind of totured view points.

If you want a Southwesterner as the president, bring a fresh character. Osibanjo? Akinwumi? Faratomi? I mean someone that can easily generate trust across the different regions of this country by the power of his positive presence! Just a fresh character that won't foul the whole place with his inordinate drive for reckless power grab. This APCs "winner takes all" approach will backfire against the Southwest in the long run. Mark this!
That's all we are saying. That is all we have ever asked for; an honorable president! Is that now too much to ask for?
You Tinubu ethnic henchmen following Tinubu up an down are the ones who made such honest and patriotic stand look like an attack on the Yorubas, not us..

You also have to understand that we come from different cultural backgrounds even if we live in the same queer country. Some of us struggle to accept crooks as leaders not because we are determined to be obstinate or to show off. We actually are not culturally prepared for such infamy like some others..

That's just the fact..

Seriously bro you are really really pathetic. So someone that keeps his State money in a bank that he has shares in is not a criminal. U really needs to remove the log in ur eyes

owobokiri:
Because the answers are self evident to all with working brains 🧠
You cannot hand the treasury of a country to a proven criminal. That's all we are saying. Stop making it look like we are speaking Swahili..
This is not really about Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi. This is about decency vs profligacy.
It is about decorum vs malfeasance
Prudent vs kleptomania..
Very easy choice.
You have to ba an uncanny ronutard to choose a certified drug baron over a decent man with a grass to grace story..
