Guy, rest.
Within 24 hours, you have opened four threads on Tinubu.



Today is the first day of the new year, take time to thank God and plan for YOUR life. Neither Atiku, Peter Obi nor Tinubu can directly solve the problems in your life.

MikeofAfrica:
Your Statistics are right. However the reason OBJ and Jonathan won in 2003 and 2011 is the block votes that they got in SE/SS. Both of them had over 90% of the votes in the two regions. Moreover, they had the power of imcumbency which helped them to win the NC and penetrate the NW/ NE.

Atiku would have also defeat Buhari in 2019 if he had been able to get 40% in NE/NW.

However in the case of Tinubu,his main opponent in NW/NE, Atiku, is also more popular than him in SE/SS. The SW which is Tinubu's stronghold cannot deliver the kind of block votes that SE/SS delivered to OBJ and Jonathan in 2003 and 2011.

Hence for Tinubu to win, he has to stop Atiku from winning either NW or NE and also hope that Obi stops Atiku from winning SS.

Too much assumptions!

Political parties contest and win elections in Nigeria. The election is not just about Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi and Kwankwanso but there are several other politicians contesting on the same parties with them who will influence the pendulum of victory.

Right now, the opposition is fragmented into PDP (with Wike's G-5 working for the APC), LP and NNPP.

Only a united opposition can defeat the ruling APC.

MikeofAfrica:
In 2011, the northern stakeholders agreed to support Jonathan for one term ( 2011-2015). There refusal to support Buhari made him to leave ANPP and form CPC.

However, the stakeholders could not convince the northern electorates to vote Jonathan over Buhari.

Remember the PDP northern stakeholders in core northern states like Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa and Bauchi could not also convince their people to vote OBJ over Buhari in 2003.

You are mixing these issues up.

1) The defunct ANPP was the household party in the extreme North of Nigeria under whose platform Buhari ran for the 2003 and 2007 elections.

2) In 2010, Buhari had left the party to form CPC because of the plots by the leadership of the ANPP not to field him.


3) 2011 election: PDP stakeholders agreed to support Jonathan for one term.

4) The CPC stakeholders coupled with the prevailing perception that it was the turn of the North worked for Buhari's success in 12 States in the North.


No two elections are exactly alike.

Workch:
because I don't want you to die from this false hope.

Atiku will beat him to stupor in NW and NE while obi will finish it in SS and SE.

Don't give yourself false hope

So, both Atiku and Peter Obi will win the presidential election at the same time?

What has this poor girl done to deserve this heinous and dehumanizing treatment and eventual murder?

Why this man's inhumanity to fellow humans?

Jostoman:
Who is the owner of the hotel? Hope it's not opposition member that owns the hotel because lagos and polititics of bitterness are like bread and butter.

The owner is a serving member of the House of Reps (APC/Itesiwaju/Irepodun Fed Constituency).

AfonjaEmir:
See them... so you want Free train to IRABIJI, but you insult IGBOs that Pay 20-30k to travel to their place in A/C buses??

No responsible Government should pay for useless transport of its citizens and make it a political pampering event.

Use the money and build hospitals and schools, so individuals can do it on their own11

Shey, this is thiefnubuu's state..let him give una free ride na11

Everything is not about tribalism.

There's nothing that involve Igbos in this matter.

You could have kept quiet if you don't have anything reasonable to contribute to the topic

Bigshots001:
Yorubas are forcing him down our throats,hmmm God help o...

How can one tribe force a presidential candidate down the throat of over 300 tribes?

Vote for your preferred candidate and leave Tribes out of it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am aware of electric grills. I have never heard them being called electric roasters. But we learn everyday.

But more important - I knew someone would come up with a defence like yours above. This is the same way Nigerians were told they were too slow to understand metaphors and idioms and whatnot after the Tinubu speech debacle in Kaduna.

No one is perfect. No one is above the occasional speech error or malapropism. It is what shows we are human after all. But not...this. This man is having serious difficulty in self expression and communication and it is chronic. There's no other way to put it.

The man is unsuitable for the responsibility he is pursuing. He is not the man for the job.

Its nothing personal. We are just telling it like it is.

Instead of using charcoal ,buy this electric oven for your mum and/or wife as Christmas gift.

TruthIsBitter02:
Don't get it twisted, this is sanwo olu's project and not Tinubu's project. Why are you giving Tinubu credit for another person's work. #ShowUsTinubu'sProject and leave fashola, ambode and sanwo olu's legecies out of it.

The project was started in Dec,2003 and you should know who was the Governor then.

unclejb2:
If Tinubu campaigns with this project, what will Ambode and Sonwolu who started and completed it use to campaign?

Unless you agree that every governor in Lagos has been a surrogate ... And that's the last thing Nigeria needs now.

Tinubu is going on permanent retirement next year after the election

The project actually started in Dec,2003 by Ex-Gov Tinubu. His successors kept working on it (except for a brief period during the Ambide Administration) to bring it into fruitation

FreedomfromtheT:
I am not begging him sir. I want him to see reason why the entire south should unite under a more popular and trusted candidate so that power does not go back to the Fulani north after these 8 frightening years. If the south goes into the 2023 election with a divided house, it could happen but may Peter Obi win and become Nigeria's next president in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you.

You are contradicting yourself and appear not to really understand how the presidential election work.

1) If Peter Obi has been projected to win the presidential election,then why begging Tinubu to step down for him?

2) Suppose that Tinubu withdraw from the race, why do you think the APC won't replace him with another flag bearer? Why do you think the APC is ready to withdraw from the race and that Tinubu= APC?

Ekejoestar:
So what about those guys who didn't disvirgin any girl, are they also wrong for demanding to marry a virgin?

Honestly, it seems like they are being cheated.

onez:
Please stop it. I say stop it. Wike received far less revenue than Lagos but is doing 5 times on infrastructure. Sanwo-Olu should tell us where Lagos money is going

Delta and Rivers receive higher revenues than Lagos.

olisaEze:
Diezani Allison retired from SPDC (Shell Petroleum & Dev. Co) as an Executive Director, was a two term Minister of Petroleum in this country. Pls don’t compare sleep & death, agbero heritage no be wetin normal people dey use proud! Just tell me what you think when he gets to Canada will be his answer to the question, what does ur trip sponsor do for a living?? "My papa use to beat keke and taxi drivers for owo mi da!"

If you a US citizen or have US green card, you don't need to answer any questions before entering Canada.

Couldntfigurean:
you don’t see tinubu supporters doing same,or you go blind when they do insult us and call Peter obi all sort of names
See supporters of APC that made a caricature coffin of Jonathan are now acting like holy saints,same people that called JEG’s wife a Shepopotamus
Spare me your holy talk please
I can talk about any presidential candidate how I like,no be you buy me phone and data


Btw,We are here to press una neck and not massage it

Okay, you are just here for pressing of necks ,not that you mean any serious business about winning the election

Kobojunkie:
Dude was marrying in wealth so what is a name?

Dude was already in Wealth before the marriage.
He was marrying for love. QED.



People do so many things for love.





NB: His original surname JOHN was reflective of past history colonialism and possibly slavery. It had no sweet meaning to his African identity like the adopted Surname, ABAYOMI.

Bryan88:
before i face u, are u an origin of Lagos state? Cos if not, U must be another senseless urchin & I don’t have any business with uRchins like u...Au revoir.

Relax, it's not compulsory you must show negativity towards anything Lagos. . .Just be happy for them (or at least pretend to do so)

hedonido:
Always combative, abusive, foul-mouthed, and arrogantly odious. This guy represents the worst of the rotten status-quo that has crippled Nigeria, mortgaged its destiny and immersed the country in the cesspool of shitholeness.

At this rate, people should start lynching unpatriotic urchins who publicly express support for this BATstard.

Try to lay your hands on anybody for supporting Tinubu and see the outcome.

Brendaniel:
There is nothing sophisticated with Tinubu's strategy, the only thing sophisticated about him is high level of desperation, something his previous opponents underestimated him with.

He works like a drug lord:

1. If his lies can't get him to win, he switches to money(bribery)

2. If his money cannot bribe his way through, he takes out his opponent using thugs.

3. If he sees it is impossible to take out his opponent, he uses every propaganda to ridicule his opponent.

And his supporters hail this dirty style of politics as strategy, that is why the country is where it is today because he applied the same strategy to bring in Buhari(lies and propaganda)

Tinubu is like a boxer who comes to the ring with a gun instead of gloves to fight his opponent - he comes for a kill when it should be a fight at equal level grounds - too desperate to win at any cost to his opponents

You are backing a candidate that is desperate to lose!



Quit unnecessary parables and stop wailing over a candidate that takes his tasks very seriously.

Ajens1991:
Hope the house no disappear follow the man?

This used to happen in old Yoruba movies in the 1980s

Couldntfigurean:
so your jagabandit have 15 million voters and came to beg undecided voters to consider him?
Just dey play,dey play

You don't understand my point, why can't supporters of Peter Obi focus on getting the needed votes to win irrespective of who are supporting Tinubu?



The impression that most supporters of Peter Obi are giving is that those who are supporting Tinubu are the stumbling block to Peter Obi's victory.

Couldntfigurean:
Most of them shouting jagaban know he just want to bear the name president and enrich his thieving friends,nothing more nothing less
I remember an interview where a man said who obi help,jagaban na “chop I chop” tinubu supporters were happy but didn’t understand what that comment meant

How can you explain to your non Nigerian friend that this boys father have no work but just taxing poor drivers
How can you explain it?

Okay, but why can't supporters of Peter Obi work very well to get about 15 million Nigerians to support his candidacy and just win the election so that all these will stop?

God (Allah) is the father of all.

Peterobi90:
Its surprising that the court was burnt down.. I find it really hard to connect the dots on why it was burnt down.. although there is an allegation that the original Alpha-beta case file against Tinubu was kept in the premises.. coincidentally, they are all seeking out of court settlement now with no one willing to file again.

1) Lagos Judiciary has been computerized for long .

2) Alpha-Beta case is at FEDERAL High Court , not Lagos High Court.



Next propaganda please!!!

Moh247:




He supports Himself for President at the expense of others

Refused to campaign for LP in Ekiti Guber election, barely visited Osun briefly

Openly supported PDP Rivers State Guber candidate while Labour candidate lies sick in an hospital after getting injured organising rallies for him



.

He is not a party man, try to forgive him.

Bluntguy:
I watched this on Channels TV last night. All I could see written all over Tinubu was the fear of Obi. It's a disgrace for him to speak about a fellow candidate in such manner.
All the while he has been talking incoherently Obi has never mocked him for once, but watch out for Obi's response. You will see that Tinubu just made a huge mistake attacking him that way. Soludo is still regretting his own gaffe.

Where did he mention Obi?

madridguy:
Will you go and sit down. What is special about Brazil that you want to lure people there and they will start calling Abike Dabiri to come of their rescue.

Actually, you can make it in Brazil or anywhere if you have ;

1) The right kind of Visa

2) The right education and skills

Revolution2022:
Where did Buhari get the resources to explore the sham crude oil in the north if not Niger Delta?The same thing Lagos was said to have discovered crude oil in ajeh field Up till now we have not heard or seen crude oil been lifted in Lagos.
Sham

The Folawiyo Group lift crude oil from Aje oil fields in Lagos

SadiqBabaSani:
What has my happiness got to do with your deceit. I cant wait for, I earnestly look forward to pipelines been laid from Gombe down to Lagos, so that we can use it for the refinery

Why not Kaduna Refinery or build a small Refinery at the oil fields?

Nightwolf1:
You didnt care to check where it was stated that he was actually trafficking drugs and had to forfeit huge sum of money to the US government.

Many of you don't read and are very ignorant.
This is why it's easy for you people to be brainwashed with propaganda.

You can NOT establish that an accused is crying drugs without trial and even at that you can NOT arrive at a verdict of drug crime if drug crimes were not parts of the charges that was brought to trial.

For instance ,if someone is taking to court for allegedly raping a lady, the outcome of the trial can NOT be that the man is an armed robber when armed robbery is not part of the charges.

It's like saying a farmer will reap Corn at the time of harvest when only Yam and cassava were planted by him.
