Which record sir?

The ways you guys use the word ',betray' does not suggest you truly understand the meaning.

Anenih was the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees and Mr Fix It for the PDP.

Oshiomole was in the ACN and he defeated the PDP under Anenih, Igbinedion, Osunbor etc.


So if you defeat your opponents in an election, that means you betray them?

jaxxy:
Lol keep deceiving urselves. He betrayed anenih. It’s on record till date.

I understand your plights and present feelings about the political situations in Nigeria but change your tactics, it won't produce the desired results you anticipate.

Amatarasha:
yawns

The political tango in Edo State is not as you guys assume.


Gov Obaseki didn't manage the situation very well. A little bit of humility and tact could have prevented his troubles.



Even decamping to the PDP may not solve the problems.
There are many politicians who have kept faith with the PDP through thin and thick for years, investing their resources and energy with the hope of clinching the party's ticket and the genuine belief that they would defeat Obaseki of the APC.

Few days to the Primaries, Obaseki now decamp to the PDP and you feel dashing him the Governorship ticket will not generate crisis within the PDP?

The APC will just capitalize on this, buy over the present frontline aspirants in the PDP by promising them Federal appointments (who will leave certainties of the FG appointments for the uncertainties of Obaseki's meagre compensation?) and they will either serve as internal moles in the PDP or rightly decamp to the APC, leaving Obaseki in the cold.

bright007:
These are the real voters.

These are the important people.

Not one ass-licker of the Lagos landlord

IPOB peddle dangerous propaganda against the Yorubas and the Hausa-Fulanis which unfortunately many young Igbos believe hook, line and singer.

The reverberating consequences of this phenomenon for the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis is gradually being felt and will become worse in the years ahead.

If you go to Twitter and Facebook, you will see the avalanche of malicious falsehood being dish out against the Yorubas that any reasonable Yoruba person will know that if this people have the power and opportunities, they will not hesitate to harm the Yoruba interests.

However, all these will also have consequences for the Igbos.

wirinet:
Apart for ipob people being obsessed with Yoruba every waking moment and probably in their dreams also, they are equally obsessed with Yoruba media.
Abeg ask them, are they formed to read or listen to Yoruba media? Why not listen or read only igbo media? Abi igbo no get media?

Must you find a way to bring Yorubas( always in a negative way) to everything?

What concern Yorubas in this matter?

Your hatred for the Yorubas can't bring about any solution, it won't make Buhari to die or resign, it won't stop Boko Haram, it won't stop Yorubas from constested the 2023 election and it won't add money into your bank account?

Rather it will galvanize the Yorubas , including the hitherto neutral ones to come together.

Stop this unnecessary hatred that won't take you anywhere.

Amatarasha:
Yoruba media don't report Boko Haram anymore

This meme is the most funny one on social media in 2020.

Psalmy2cute:
.

After Buhari, Tinubu is their most hated figure.

Fortunately, they can't do beyond just hating.

Sammy07:
Guy/Girl.

I'm not a Tinubu supporter but anything for the progress of Yorubas

They(Tinubu supporters), have the freedom of expression and speech.

Let me ask this, if tinubu dies today, you think Igbos won't rejoice.

or you think they don't look for downfall of Yoruba people?

Bros calm down, Oshiomole is NOT a Yoruba man.

The Oshiomole- Obaseki tango is purely an internal Edo affairs.

Yorubas won't vote in the Primaries and general election.




So save yourself the stress, relax and take chilled Hero beer + a plate of Nkwobi at Ada Owerri's place, everything on my account.

One luv bro

Asgard13:
Oga shut it first

Yoruba attempt to demonize igbos on edo crises failed before Yoruba even start

Do you think Nigerians are fools and Yoruba people are wise because that the thought of every Yoruba living

Do you think edo people are stupid that they don’t read between the lines

You think bini man don’t understand Oshiomole stand and that he want to extend Tinubu godfatherism to edo

Or you think you bini people don’t know Yoruba want to enslave bini people as part of Tinubu empire .. so he can order the oba around and impose he’s own oba

What’s Yoruba interest in bini or edo election

Why is the entire Yoruba post against obaseki?

Why are yoruba people fighting obaseki a bini man and yet claim they have nonsense with bini people

You’re not ashame to come online to change narratives and propagate Yoruba poo... even when the Apc Chairman told you edo is not Lagos

What does igbos have to gain wit obaseki and Oshiomole fight

Yoruba people ought to be ashamed. The life the live online

See as human Dey embarrasse his image out of hate... and this one go wake begin claim Sophistication...

Wake up

The entire media ... the whole Nigerians... we know that Yoruba tribalism is at work ... and the pain is that obaseki has refused to bow to Tinubu like ambode did... even a bini Chief have been mocking Tinubu.. so wetin bring igbos to your post

Bayerebe’s

Hausa Fulani call Yoruba descents... green snake in green grass...

Nigerians all over the world understands Yoruba and dia ignorance more than the understand themselves

What a tribe

Tueh!

How did you measured this?

Did you also notice that the PDP Southeast supporters are also championing his re-election bid?

Godwin Obaseki had problems with his party, the APC.

popez:
I have noticed this worrying trend about south west APC supporters being the ones majorly against the re-election of Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki
You would hardly see Apc supporters from other regions being this vocal, and fighting this hard against Obaseki's re-election, despite Edo state not being a south west state.

It makes one wonder what they stand to gain if Obaseki doesn't get re-elected.

Does it have anything to do with 2023 general election?

He was never poor and I think he used to be a good church boy (possibly from a Muslim-to-Christian converts home)

It's because of the Afonjas that are against him.

Poloyanabo2:
But Col. Njoku sef!
He became the first African colonel by 2003 and spent 10 more years without any increase in rank?
wasn't he cheated?

You are transferring your aggression to the wrong people.

The S/East State Governors proscribed IPOB and provided security forces the platform to deal with them but you are blaming the Yorubas ,many of whom don't even know what IPOB is.

Ask any 5 random guys on the street of Lagos, Ibadan, Ijebu-Ode or Ilesha what is their opinions about IPOB, you will be surprised that 90% of them will respond by asking, what is IPOB?

Sleevia:
The person that killed is whom you guy currently regard as SS but bears an igbo name.... take note.

At the emboldened, you lie... when IPOBs were being killed in their land, were you people not rejoicing? has the death not gone round now? has every region not had to contend with death and blood in their land because of your almight Buhari?

come and chase them out of your land... i double dare you all. na wetin go scatter the entire country we dey wait for.

Are you suggesting that all parties ban all Nigerian aspirants from contesting their Primaries unless they are Igbos?

Ojiofor:
There was a reason the powers that be at that time released him from prison and those power brokers determines who rules Nigeria.
The plan to make OBJ president was signed and sealed before he was set free from prison and Ekwueme couldn't have stop it.

Stop this unnecessary revisionism of an event that happened less than 30 years ago.


Gen Ibrahim Babangida during a televised broadcast annulled the election and not any Judge. I am a living witness because I watched the broadcast live in 1993.

Esseite:
Tofa had an Igbo Vice, but the SE still gave Abiola 45%... can that be replicated?

Tony anenih was a former minister of works in 1999, how does that have to do with anything?

Late Justice Dahiru Saleh was the judge that annuled the election..

Read up your history.

Easy bro, easy sir.









You and God aren't exactly the same sir.

KanwuliaExtra:
Tinubu can and will NEVER be president of Nigeria. Only IKORODU.


Tufiaaaaaaaaakwa!!!

You were wean on propanganda and hatred for other Nigerians.


Which financial crimes was involved in the trial of Awolowo in the Courts?

Igboid:
Awolowo was jailed for Financial misappropriation and treasonable felony by a civilian law body.
What other evidence do you need.

Kanu knows what he is doing, the followers may not know. . .he needs to keep up fanning the embers of inter-tribal hatred and proclaim himself as the defender of the Igbos in order to continue to in business.


His method is similar to those of Pastors of the Pentecostal Churches. They keep spreading fears about Ancestral curses, Village peoples, witches ,Wizards (all of which appear to stopped during the lockdown) and how they are destroying peoples' marriages, business or Health while positioning themselves as the Solution providers.

Throwback:
Exactly!

For Invictus Obi, the allegations were already filed in court for which the warrant of arrest was granted.

So there was already factual and explicit information on his arrest from the get go.

Kanu, like his fellow bitter and emotional tribesmen, are a sorry case who must find a way to inject their own self created Igbophobia on any matter, even if it does not directly involve the Igbos.

It is an obsession that is pathological.

You are getting me wrong. I am not blaming Anambra State or anybody.
I was only explaining to the guy how the limits of 10MW can be avoided.


Most State Governors in Nigeria don't invest in long term project that may take 5 years to materialize, they rather believe in awarding contracts to their party men to build 3 classroom-blocks in all the Local Government to siphon money and the electorates will see and say 'our Governor is working'


The National grid system has a great disadvantage for a very large Country like Nigeria.

Electricity should be on the concurrent list.

During the Colonial era, there was nothing like National Grid and the British imported huge Generators that supply regular electricity supply but with very little coverage.
We should have replaced the huge Generators with power plants.

Each State should generate it's own electricity or buy from States that can do so or remain in perpetual darkness untill when their citizens can vote for a Governor that can solve the problem.

Emotionss:
[color=#006600][/color]

So what is stopping YOUR state government from doing it ?

Don't you think it would have been more satisfying for you if you channel your strength in convincing your state government to embark on this Good project than worrying yourself over Ndi- Anambra

Tribes matters but Political parties matters more.
This is the reason why tribal political parties are outlawed by the Constitution.

This is the reason someone from a minority tribe can defeat a candidate from a majority tribe.

Are your tribes men going to mobilize voters to vote for you in all the wards or are your tribes men going to be your agents in all the polling units in Nigeria?

If Buhari or Jonathan has constested on the platform of APGA, SDP or CPD they would have lost.

As a matter of fact, that was why the ACN,ANPP, CPC and part of APGA fused to form APC in 2013.

As per what I believe or Owambe, leave it like that. We can't all reason in the same way sir.

Bros, just relax ,let Nkechinyere be rubbing your back and enjoy yourself with 3 Hero beers and a plate of Isi-Ewu at Mama Ngozi's place. I will settle the bill after leaving our Owambe place.


Cheers.

cosef:
You have the right to delude yourself that tribe doesn't matter in the politics of nigeria.

You are yoruba, your propensity to lie to yourself so you can afford to be happy and avoid reality and throw an owambe party is hugely beyond belief. So ride on, but reality awaits at the end of the honeymoon ride.

The Yoruba , Ijaw, Fulani or Nupe candidates in all the parties should contest for the Presidency for their country. . .This is the best way to make our democracy mature.

It will also make the upcoming generation to have confidence that the democratic process works and that their works, resources, time, dedication and loyalties to a political party can be rewarded.




Being shocked is irrelevant because every candidate already knows he can either win or lose the election.
There can only be a single winner. Those who lose in 2023 can win in 2027 or 2031.

You can't win all the time, you win sometimes and you lose sometimes.

We can't say because of the fear of defeat and not aspire for the highest post in the land.

There's nothing in what you are saying that a serious candidate running for the presidential election will not have thought of (strategies to win, your dependable allies, undetermined voters, swing States and opposition strongholds).


Cheers.

cosef:
Do you want to know the truth?

yorubas actually have deceived themselves for so long that since the north and east do not get along on socio-political and religious issues, the east will vote prefer a yoruba come what may. So they believe they can always play "double agent" and get away with it.

yorubas propagated "Igbo will never president" propaganda since 1970s. They also propagated "a vote for Ibo is a vote for Biafra" in their newspapers in that era. Today they pretend that "hate speech" started with Nnamdi Kanu who became popular just a couple of years ago.

They will be shocked beyond "shockability" in 2023. Two can play the game.

People who don't have voter's cards let alone political parties' members cards will be analysizing political issues like political juggernauts!

Political parties and NOT tribes contest elections and account for 70% of the success needed to win.

This is the reason why Gov Obaseki's disqualification from the APC's primaries is generating uproar. This is the same reason why Obaseki is thinking of joining the PDP instead of say APGA, AD or Labour party.

This is the reason how Dr Ahmed Lawan from the Bade Tribe of just about 700,000 people can become the num-3 citizen in Nigeria.

A candidate from Bachama Tribe of less than a Million People can contest on the platform of a major party and win.

If Tribe is all that's needed, then some tribes have no hope of becoming President, Vice President, Senate President, Chief Judge or anything in the next 100 years.

cosef:
If Sagay and yorubas are sincere and really want southern presidency, let them campaign vigorously for both parties to zone their tickets to the South east. If it is impossible to do so, then they have no right to complain about power staying in the north.

The greed of yoruba and their desperation to ensure the political emasculation of East will keep power in the North.

There is no two ways about it, yorubas have taken their slot as president and should wait for others to take their turn.

Zoning means "turn by turn" , if the yorubas have sworn to be greedy then it is justifiable to keep it in the North.

Which date precisely will Nigeria cease to exist so that we can all prepare well for it in order to avoid ' the misunderstood 20 Pounds policy or Abadandoned properties saga'

saaron:
There will be no Nigeria in 2023. The North will rule over themselves under Arewa Republic.
ONE NIGERIA DOES NOT EXIST!

And how does Tinubu being too shady, selfish and cunning comes into the APC's Governors' plan for soft landing for Obaseki?

XXLMANDIGO:
Oshiomole does not seem to have anything to lose but no one would make concession for Tinubu. He is too shady, selfish and cunning. Already too glaring for the world to see.

BehindBiafra:
But you're still praising Mompha on Instagram

What's Mompa?

NYSC certificate is an addendum and not a requisite certificate for holding political offices (either elective or appointed) and examples abound;

Senator Bola Tinubu

Dr Bukola Saraki

Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Hon Razak Atuwa (Ex-Speaker KSHA, Ex-Member of HOR and PDP Governorship candidate in 2019)

Alh Adebayo (Ex Minister of Communication)

Femi Fani-Kayode

Godfrey Onyeama



All the above didn't partake in NYSC and didn't present any NYSC certificates

ThatFairGuy:
You seems to be surprising sir. A graduate won't present NYSC? That NYSC is part of the degree certificate law is required of him. It can now be Either EXEMPTION LETTER or NYSC CERTIFICATE.

Litigation that he MUST participate in the Primaries of the APC?



The party has a right to exclude persons they consider liabilities or disloyal members from their primaries. They can even expel him from the party.



The courts can NOT force an association or a political party to love, support and accept a particular candidate as their member.

maestroferddi:
The issue here is that Obaseki is not a smart thinker.

How was expecting to emerge as the party flag-bearer when Oshiomhole still holds sway as the Chairman of APC?

I am not good at suffering fools gladly. Dude ought to have read the writing on the wall six months before now...

He should have since defected to PDP who have formidable structures in Edo State. He appears a reactive person, a very negative trait to have as a politician.


Maybe it is not too late for him to make the bee line for PDP when he still has the opportunity...

It is trite that the ludicrous disqualification holds no water...
It will easily be thrown out upon litigation.

Why would APC screening committee usurp the powers of the Senate and registry of the University of Ibadan who granted Obaseki admission and subsequently graduated him?

The zoo.allusion to Nigeria is not that wide off the mark...

This one just weak me o

joeyfire:
The most serious defeat of a godfather I ever saw was Theodore Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu. T.A Orji made OUK leave PDP to PPA. TA Orji then got three septic tank trucks to go and offload tons of shit which was sprayed into PPA Headquarters in Umuahia as a warning

10MW in 20 different Towns and Villages in Anambra State will be 200MW in addition to the current power supply to the State.
This will guarantee 24/7 electricity for Ndi-Anambra and Nigeria will be better for it.

edoairways:
Not more 10mw, anything exceeding that should be connected to national grid

2023: Mr Peter Obi for President!

SLAP44:
If this man rules Nigeria for 8 years, there will be zero unemployment in Nigeria and so much wealth that restiveness will be a thing of the past.

In most developed countries, they choose successful business men who has a history and a string of successes to lead them, in Nigeria, they choose people who has excelled in nepotism and illiteracy to rule them.

Okay, we have heard.
