What of Sir Emeka Offor, Aurthur Eze and Innocent 'Innoson' Chukwuma?

dubra:
He trives based on monopolized economy, he's given waiver for everything at the expense of the rest of Nigerians, on a normal business of level play ground he would have been sent packing since, he's heavily patronized by the government, you can see the effect now, if dangote gets show down the whole country would fidgeting, what a shame

Did you read and understand the article at all?

The $900 Million drop was as a result of drop in the prices of his companies shares at the Nigerian Stock Exchange.


So Gov't patronize Dangote?

Samakus:
Things happen!


For those wey no believe the story... Try dey reach village..

Na person wey no know snake dey call am rope

It is not true sir.

The level of ignorance in the villages is alarming.

meobizy:
She's sending a message to her baby daddy. I enjoy seeing baby mommas compete for a man's attention. 'Females' in this forum do the same by opening the most inane topics aimed at men.

I thought Davido and Chioma are married? Why calling her Baby Mama instead of wife?


And did they ever got divorced or separated?

Dreyton36:
When I was a teenager an old always warned me against ladies from these places
Imo
Akwa ibom
Cross river
Ebonyi


Told me not to even make friends with them , they're heartless with beautiful faces

All my life I've never dated none and I will never give it a second thought

Nothing pass Yoruba women , yeah most of them cheat , some of them aren't hygienic

But if Jah bless you with a very sweet Yoruba babe , ur life don better
Coming from a Lagosian

Lights up my kpoli in peace

There are good and evil people in every State.

My GF during NYSC is from Imo State. She is a gentle lady, beautiful, a good Christian and even a virgin at that stage!

Psalmy2cute:
Nigeria women are fast becoming "MEN-killers"

No thanks to the rise of feminism.

Chummynoni:
For the boy? she might be right, but for that girl? I doubt. Just hide your face in shame rather than spewing cum

Even the boy resembles Nuhu Adams more than Tunde Thomas.

RuddyFusion:
You quoted a forbes article in your post which talked about Naira billionaires at NNEWI.......that was the focus of my reply.....not here to argue with anyone......The only to dispute a written opinion is by another superior written option not through emotional and sentimental rants. Take care

That Article wasn't written and published by the authentic Forbes Magazine. It's fake.

LegendHero:
Lol conduct my own research about the rubbish BS about $$ billionaires in Nnewi? I’m not that stupid honestly.

Money is not something that’s easy to hide like that, if truly there are $$ billionaire there, it won’t be rocket science to know their true identity.

When you ask people for proof of their billionaire and they tell you to come to their area and be asking people do you have billion $$, you should know it’s all a lie.

So you mean all those markets you mentioned combined are richer than Elon Musk?

Do you know the meaning of $208 billion?

It's surprising me that some guys genuinely think that shops at Onitsha, Alaba Or Ochanja markets are more valuable than stocks in first rated companies on the New-York Stock Exchange like Hathaway-Berkshire, Tesla, Facebook or Apple Inc.

Okay

I thought Precious Chikwendu Fani-Kayode left this man recently or is it over 9months already?

JudasNaCarrot:
The South West should as a matter of fact take things easy with the way they are pushing this man to contest even if we also know that the greed in him is firing his passion to be president.The Yorubas should not be too greedy like Tinubu, the presidency should be zoned to the South East,they deserve it.

All those who talk rubbish that presidency can not be given to them on the platter of gold just like that should also know that each and every ethnic unit is a stakeholder in this Nigerian project. This is not Oduduwa or Arewa republic.
I still maintain that unless the Igbos take it by fire by force, it is tilll 2060 before they will even voice out again.We in the South South will complete our 4 years that Jonathan hasn't finished,that is if the South West is allowed to do 8 years then the North will do another 8 after them before zoning back which will be for the South South 4 years that Jonathan hasn't finished.

The South Easterners are busy in Ariaria, Onitsha and Balogun markets doing business,relaxing, drinking beer and eating nkwobi forgetting that they will play politics.

How is this disturbing the S/East?

Charmingrascal:
Tinubu should stop giving himself false hope
he should not waste his resources over something he won't get.

Presidency is not for him and Atiku

But it is himself and not you so let him be

Bukasuka:
Afenifere don't have choice jagaban

They may be supporting Atiku

[quote author=Racoon post=97836077]The same Afeniferi he once slighted and polarized into factions? So this baba is still interested in adding to the woes long created with the present unmitigated disaster he foisted on this nation? God no go shame us.[/quote
]
Afenifere should start campaigning for Atiku and allow Tinubu to rest.
Biko!

OfficialAwol:
We are on the same page o!

Because my point too is that no matter how formidable Tinubu thinks he, and his camp, is, he cannot win the APC ticket alone.

He needs some certain kind of consensus with other camps.

But the body language of other camps in the party doesn't seem to be favorable to him.

When alignments and realignments are completed, just like it was done in 1993 and 1999, you'd be surprised that not the most powerful candidate that will win but the candidate that appeals most to the different camps.

Abiola wasn't the most formidable candidate in 1993 nor was Obasanjo in 1999. If anything, Obasanjo was just released from prison. He had no money and no party loyalists but he won. Why? Consensus.

That's what I'm trying to make u understand.

No two elections are exactly alike.

In 1999 PDP primaries, the party was not in Government and it was a newly formed party consisting of different blocks.

You see most of the people who will be delegates (if the present structures are not changed) are career politicians and not social media analysts or newbies.

Formidable politicians like Atiku, Tinubu and to some extent Saraki have their loyalists in every State, across religious, tribal and even party lines. They even buy nomination forms for candidates in APGA, PDP, Labour party, APC. They spend money to send people on pilgrimages to Mecca & Jerusalem, give scholarships, help some people to get jobs, contracts, pay for Legal Fees of people during Tribunals, have their friends/loyalists in the Judiciary, Civil Service, Members of the Diplomatic corps , Military, Media, Religious leaders, Traditional Rulers etc.
All these are important electoral factors in Nigeria.

Buhari doesn't have much friends outside his immediate surroundings and his political career didn't emerge through this conventional political ways and this partly explain why it's easy for him to be unapologetic nepotic.

When the time comes for them to ask for favours, a good number of the people that will be delegates will be their people.

Besides these connection and network of loyalists, another important factor that can swing the pendulum in the favour of a candidate is 'the other contestants'.

What can the other contestants offer? Do most of the delegates hav had any serious relationships with them? Are they crowd pullers?What is their financial war chests? Are there strong contenders who may nullify each other's votes or too many weak candidates?

CSTRR:
He may have a structure but doesn't mean he will always win the PDP primaries.

There is.always a time for everything, and 2023 is not atiku's time.

Well, I share part of your points because my philosophy of powers especially presidential power goes beyond the physical.


I strongly believe that there are spiritual dimensions to powers and a role for destiny. If it's not part of Atiku's or Tinubu's destiny to become president ,they won't be.

However if it's part of their destiny, they will be.

All men are just running the race, but God alone knows the winner.

Psalm 62: 11=> 'God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God'

Dan 4:17=> '...The most High rules in the Kingdom of Men , giveth to whomever he will and set over it the lowest of men'

OfficialAwol:
I get it.

But APC doesn't start and end in Kano.

Like I've said before, when the forces align, not even a dollar rain will deliver Tinubu or anybody the power brokers do not want.

You are fixated on Tinubu.

I am telling you how delegates emerged.

You see, if there is free and fair elections, it may be difficult for a single power block to determine the winner, this is where consesus work.

The candidate that enjoy support accross the largest groups will win.


In the 1993 SDP primaries, there were 3 formidable camps-
1) The camp of the Governors which supported Baba Gana Kingibe
2) The Yar'Adua camp which supported Atiku following the betrayal of Yar'Adua by Kingibe
3) The neutral members which wanted freedom from Yar'Adua and thus supported Abiola.

At the first round ,Abiola had a simple majority but not up to 60% of the needed votes.

At the second round, the Yar'Adua camp reached an alliance with Abiola to support him so that Atiku should be made the running mate and the alliance worked. Abiola defeated Kingibe.

In protest, the SDP Governors threatened not to work for the party unless Abiola pick their candidate, Kingibe who as the pioneer chairman of the SDP was instrumental to the emergence of most of these Governors.

In the 1999 PDP primaries, Jim Nwobodo went round the convention ground addressing the delegates in Hausa language. He got some votes and even splitted votes from the S/East with Dr Ekwueme.

The rest is history.

OfficialAwol:
I don't understand you asking me about the number of delegates SE APC can muster?

Is every state chapter of the party not supposed to produce the same number of delegates for the party's Primary Election? Or are some states given higher number than others?

Now imagine all delegates of SE and SS voting for a Southeast candidate 100%.

Then Northern delegates, acting on orders from northern power brokers, voting for a Southeast candidate too. Except for maybe delegates from Kano and Yobe who might vote on the basis of 60% to 40% in favor of Tinubu.

Now, Tinubu will be left with only Southwest delegates. But the question is, are SW delegates even assured for him? You know the answer is no.

Ekiti delegates will never vote for Tinubu even if Fayemi is not contesting.

Osun delegates may also not be assured depending of where Aregbesola stands by 2022.

Ondo delegates may also not be 100% for Tinubu when you realize that Akeredolu is not a Tinubu man except for their little romance because of recent election.

So where would Tinubu get the delegates to win?

Your first sentence showed that you don't know how delegates in presidential primaries are chosen.

Let me explain to you.

1) All States have an agreed fixed numbers of delegates e.g 3 elected persons per State.

2) Statutory delegates : this is the game changer.

For instance;

* All Presidential aspirants
* All members of the NWC of the party
*All members of the Board of Trustees
* All elected Government officials of the party e.g LG chairmen, Assembly members, Governors, senators, reps etc.
* Chairmen and secretaries of the party in each State.

In some cases, appointed party leaders like

*Ministers and Ambassadors are also automatic delegates.


Now, in Kano alone, there are 44 LG chairmen, three senators, about 18 Reps, around 30 Assembly members on the platform of the APC ,all of which will be party delegates.



Now unless, there's approachment and re-alignments, it is difficult for New comers in the party to have the support of these long term career politicians.
To get substantial delegate votes from Kano, the Ganduje's camp must endorse your candidancy.

Summary: the States don't have equal numbers of delegates and political gladiators in each State matters.

CSTRR:
Unless Umahi was promised the apc ticket, then his defection would makes sense.
Otherwise it is stupid politics on his part.

Buhari his best friend will lose relevance once he leaves the presidency in 2-3 years.

He could have been a pdp presidential candidate.

Anyway 2023 promises a lot of action.

How do you think Dave Umahi will be able to defeat Atiku for the PDP ticket? Atiku has better and formidable political structure than anybody in the PDP.

Unless, there's a gang-up by the Governors, there is no strong politician in the PDP that can defeat Atiku.

CalliDora1:
They still want to continue committing crime while doing jail term. SMH.

Sure this ones are willing to change?

So denying them part of their humanity is okay by you? Somebody's sexual needs should be repressed and denied indefinitely because she is serving punishment?

You wan send your wife alone to Canada


Hope you know what you’re doing.

I don't think he knows.

This is like a man soliciting for men friends for his wife.

donaldwhal:
My brother, it is tougher, securing job from Nigeria to enter Canada EXCEPT if you are into IT and you are a guru. What @Rightsolution was saying is that going thru Europe is like a following a VIP queue at the airport, instead of joining the bandwagon(like that long queue at the airport) of applicants to get to Canada faster.

Applicants from all over the world like India, Philippine, China and Pakistan citizens stand better chances entering Canada than Nigerians. Canada only picks a handful of Nigerians who are applying from Africa. So it is good to start from easier way, most times, that's what @Rightsolution is saying. Come to think of it, you may get to Europe and wouldn't want to go to Canada again, except if you are just visiting. Europe is sweeter and better than Canada and the US combined, especially living in those non native speakers of English countries.

Once you manage to learn their basic languages, you are ok for life. You are surrounded by many countries in Europe that you can travel to either by road, air, rail or water. There are cheap (connecting) flights to Africa from all over Europe. But in Canada, you are only closer to the US and Mexico and all those... counties dem. If you are in Canada, you have to be flying every time you are visiting another county, apart from the US (that's if you choose not to go by road). Life is extremely cheaper in Europe than in Canada. People in Finland go to Estonia to go and buy ordinary alcohol and other cheap household items. You can eat eba (garri) in Germany and go to Sweden to go and wash your hand . You can live under 70 EURO in a month in Estonia and still be extremely fine. With EURO 100 in Poland, you are good to go for a month. You cant try that in Canada.

Global indices every year rate quality of lives in all these Artic, Nordic, Scandinavian, Baltic and Indo-European countries higher than those of North America. Same thing goes for thriving economy. Read more about these countries and see how they are better places to live than Canada: Denmark, Netherlands (Holland), Germany, Iceland, Sweden, Poland, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Czech Republic. There are others but these are among the topmost countries.

How receptive are these Countries for Nigerians?

What will Nigerians be doing there?

Rightsolution:
While everyone is on queue to move to Canada i call that greed as everyone just want to move directly to a big country as Canada. Canada wants only Elites from Nigeria just the way Universities consider mostly high scorers in Jamb.
The easiest way to move to Canada from Nigeria is to first move out of Nigeria. Move to a better country in Europe and apply from there and trust me once you land in Europe one of your leg is already in Canada.

With this regard we can get you Poland admission in 5 working days or a Poland work permit. Just check my profile and reach out to us.
Only the wise follow shortcuts to get to their destination faster.

Get to Poland as what?
Tourists, Students, Missionaries or as what?

What do Nigerians mostly do in Poland sir?

IamAtikulate:
Other southerners have the same capacity to unite the country.

SW has spent 16 years in the presidency. It is the turn of others.

I am not saying they don't.

If they win fine and if they don't it's also fine.

I am just using hypothetical scenerio of APC/Tinubu or Osinbajo Vs PDP/Atiku.

CalliDora1:
You want to separate mad people on heat? Mad man never bite you before.

2-3 strong men can hold him and bundle him into a vehicle.


The funny thing is that mad people also have sexual desires.


A young man who arrested two years ago when the neighbours noticed that a mad lady always come to visit him in the evening.

Somehow, the mad lady had come to know that her sexual desires can be met by the man and she keeps coming regularly without coercion

Emeraldgreene:
Abeg the man is not mad.. see how neatly he's dressed,white shirt,black jeans,and sandals

He doesn't have to be dirty to be mad.
The woman too is fairly neat.

CalliDora1:
Hey Jesus!

He too is also mad, I guess.

Why are those morons smiling and staring at him instead of planking him hard on his butt? This is not right. This is broad daylight rape and those people seem to be cool about it.

They are all rapist.

But planking him hard on the butt is also wrong.

They should have separated them and take them to a Psychiatric hospital.

mojoyin73585:
I think they are both mad .Lol but how come his own mad man still love Toto like this.Government should do something na,at least pack them commot for street.

Who told you that mad people don't have sexual urge?

Being made doesn't abrogate their normal biological needs.

In the 1990s, one mad woman in Oro, Kwara State used to call on young boys passing bye to come and sleep with her.
Curiously she used to throw small stones at youngladies to scare them away from her.

Bigggloadofcum:


Another deluded fellow.

One impoverished babalawo must have told him that this is the only way to access his hidden treasures.

His imaginary billions starched somewhere underworld.

How can people be so dumb? The person promising to catapult you into a realm of wealth is living in a mud closet and feeding from the little fowl or tubers of yam offered for sacrifice.

A cun man who noticed that things are hard and this is definitely a sure bet to eating three times a day.

And to imagine he dived in without a leather is the height of his foolery. A punna that hasn't seen water for who knows how long? Gross.

People get mind o. But I'd rather be a coward than have this kinda mind.

The man is most likely a mad man himself.
The fact that he is not roaming the street unclad with dirty dreadlocks doesn't mean he is normal.

IamAtikulate:
I am aware of this.

This Atiku don suffer sha - 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019.

We will get right 2023.

I want a credible election.

Any of the party that win will have it's positive impacts for the country.

1) If Atiku/PDP win; it will give the party a rare opportunity of second chance, learn from the mistakes of the past and correct them.
It will also bring the Igbos closer to the centre and help in national healings.


2) If APC/Tinubu or Osinbajo wins, it will help to once again shatter the myth of a southern candidate inability to defeat a Northern candidate which will inspire future Southerners to try their lucks irrespective of whose ox is gored.

Tinubu has a great capacity to unite the country by bringing bright minds together.
