So that he can gather 50m youths into army n be feeding them with cassava n yam.
Is that the kind of sensible person we need?

Someone better than tinubu will arise soon,u must av bn hearing the trace of the sound.
No be by who first declare intention

The fact that you hate somebody doesn't mean he should not or can not be president.

MondayOsunbor:
ALERT PASS ALERT

WHEN MONEY TALK EVEN TOTO DEY OPEN!

Please you don't have to debase womanity

WATCHOVER:
With due respect, is anything wrong if you challenge my opinion without insult?. I just gave my own opinion about how the present political situation is in the country.
I want to believe that you are not a cow in human form

Even if APC said they are going to zone their ticket to the S/East, that mean only Dave Umahi and Orji Uzor Kalu will Contest for the primaries.





Who among these two do you think can face Atiku/PDP?

WATCHOVER:
It unfortunate that Yar'adua died so early. I will categorically state here that his death led to this miscarriage regional political war in this 4th republic, but we cannot question God why it happens but we can re adjust the system by making the North Central rule, then South East, then North East, by so doing power would have rotated round, so that is why I am against South West ruling again because this act will be cheating against other regions, cause if the South west rule 2023, I bet you the war chest in the North West will want to rule again, there by scheming out the North East and Central.
Thats my humble opinion

Who has the power to make all these rotations?

WATCHOVER:
Jonathan has already ruled for South South, he does not fit him coming back since he has enjoyed the most exaulted position for 6yrs except he would rule 2 years to complete his 8yrs but unfortunately that is not possible here in Nigeria were greed is in our Political DNA.
The only two regions that I would have suggested to balance this political buhaha is North Central and South East but unfortunately they have a very week political foundation in this 4th republic.
Most expecially the North Central, no solid and sellable candidates have even had interest, their political gladiators messed it up by accepting Chairmanship seat, they should have opted for the seat of the President, reason be is because they seems to be balanced factor because of their ethnic and religious values and beliefs,that's the behave like South and same time like North. then base on sympathy the next region should be the South East to take up the position as number one citizen of country but they have a weak political base. The south west have no business with 2023 having had Obasanjo from their region who completed his 8yrs

You just stated Regions that you think should produce the president but didn't tell us anything about how Jonathan's come back bid collapsed.

Jostoman:
Peter Obi is a man of integrity

May be, may be not.

However he ought to have been reaching out to other parts of the country to get the support of power brokers that can give him widespread support.

OneTwoOne:
Why should barrow Pusher should still be taxed

That's height of wickedness.

Emperor obaseki keep doing Edo People anyhow because he has won reelection.

We've not seen or heard what he has done since since the Advent of his second tenure

Edo no be Lagos ooo

Ovo200:
I can't believe Nigerians are still interested in candidates like tinubu, like WTF shey we come this life come suffer?
Don't we deserve better?
For those saying tinubu developed Lagos, where exactly did tinubu developed In Lagos?
If you are someone conversat with Lagos you will know it's places the colonial masters and where the presidential villa was when Lagos was the capital of Nigeria are slightly developed. Go to other places Lagos is garbage, no good raod system, no modern facilitated hospitals ( if tinubu had developed Lagos why do he not stay in Lagos owned hospital for treatment, why don't his children attend Lagos tertiary institutions, even MC oluomo children aren't in Lagos university but Lagos is develop).
The most crazy tinubu election campaign promise; I will pay for all Nigerian Waec fee crazy as you think, is he going to use his personal money? Or tax or profit from Nigerian institutions? Another view, why do you want to pay for my child Waec fee? Oooh so you will keep me in poverty so much that I can't pay my ward Waec fee, what do this people takes us for

Oooooh I won't blame them dem don see Nigerians finish.

This coming election let look beyond tribe and religion let vote for man that has great achievable plans for Nigerians


I will vote for Ambode, fashola, over tinubu just to show how useless tinubu is.
Ambode has great plans for Lagos but tinubu and his urchins don't want greatness for Lagos, hw can they desire greatness for Nigeria?

Well, you may have some points but this is NOT how the election are won or lost.


It will be a Contest between Tinubu or whoever is the APC Vs PDP candidate. If the other candidate is not seen as a

1) very highly moral person
2) Young politician,


Then, there won't be much difference.

It is not going to be a referendum on whether Tinubu is a good or bad man.

GboyegaD:
This is getting more interesting. They will likely have their way if they are thinking of North East which means they might be thinking of bringing up an Atiku either into the party or they break out of APC. The Southern politicians need to know that they putting their greed and selfishness to rule one Nigeria first is not the best as it wouldn't work. Interestingly, the South will always fight against itself to support the North they think aren't wise while it is very obvious that the south is the one not wise.

You didn't even read the article.


They declared their unalloyed loyalty and support for Yahayah Bello

omenkaLives:
Peter Pandora, declare? Dem no born am!

What if he declares for Vice-presidency?

Penguin2:
Many prophecies has been going in the Favour of Anyim.

Fingers crossed...

Meanwhile op, lower your voice to avoid giving Tinubu urchins heart attack

The guy may actually win o.




Never say never!

immortal2:
OP, Tinubu is loved in Yoruba land.

The average Yoruba man loves BAT and his Touts and Area boys.

You are wrong sir.


The average Yoruba actually love Atiku and Kwankwanso but hate Tinubu.

Donclaracuzo:
In your widest imaginations, you think that Tinubu is the best candidate Yoruba or the south west can offer to Nigerians to accept as their president. Tufiakwa!!! Maybe, you are still eating Mama thank you or you are not reasoning with your brain. What concerns ndi Igbo with your Tinubu is fear of the second affliction. Ndi Igbo raised alarm over the dullard in Aso rock today and you Yorubas supported him thinking that he will die for Osibanjo to take over. Lol.

Did you read the topic at all?

The matter is not about Tinubu.


In any case,it is Tinubu or any aspirant that is offering himself and not their tribe/Region.

Political parties contest for elections, the aspirants are like job-seekers seeking to be employed by the parties to be their team leader in the electoral contests.

DMerciful:
We are fine with whatever the PDP does! Pdp winning the presidency is more important than zoning the presidency to SE and losing.

Do not cry more than the bereaved, at this point we're strategic rather than tactical

Politics is all about interests.


If the Interests of Ndigbo is just for the PDP to win the presidential election, please let us all respect this interest.

pinkPUSSY:
Tinubu's silence on Herdsmen portrays him as a selfish and a very greedy human being who place his ambition ahead of human lives..

You can never see him condemning the killings and destruction of properties, rather he would ask. " Whe are the cows? , to cap it all he said he would continue with Buhari's policies ..Smh

It's a pity!!


And some clowns that are deceiving themselves that Tinubu is receiving publicity ... Have it at the back of your mind that nobody received more publicity than Andy Uba of Anambra State.. He's more popular than current Anambra Governor elect..

The question is.. What type of pupularity does he have ?

Vote for Atiku or Tambuwal or Bala Mohammed to stop the Fulani Herdsmen crisis.

Blessedassuranc:
In case you dont understand what i just wrote down... TINUBU ISNT PATRIOTIC. NEITHER IS THAT SCENARIO YOU CREATED A CRITERION FOR PATRIOTISM. okay?

Isn't that why we need elections to decide what the people think about Tinubu or any other aspirant or do you think your opinions alone is all that matters?

Kaiser20:
Young Man don't you desire a decent country where the system works?
The same old politicians are the reason the country has been on Economic and political lockdown since

Name the candidate that will turn Nigeria into a 'decent country where the system works' so we can start supporting him.

BiafranPatriot:
Tinubu went to see IBB...Zombies made noise about it. but they are so dull to understand that IBB didn't give a Press release, with the druggie as obtainable everywhere,. this indicates that IBB/Abdulsalami have Already rejected the useless druggie that misguided "Mc Oluomo" trained Youths adore foolishly.

Tinubu went to "dobale" and the person he went to see just took a Photo-op and discharged him. IBB IS TRULY A MARADONA!!

No wonder zombies act foolishly on this platform. their Messiah sef na Proper zombie!

And he only a Biafran Patriot saw all these?

nonxo007:
Remember Micheal Bloomberg who ran for POTUS? They said he spent close to a billion dollars at the early stage of the campaign, but guess what ? He didn't even win the primaries.

Only one candidate can win at a time.

It's not compulsory that Tinubu or any particular candidate wins but you can't abrogate his rights to aspire to the highest office in his country.


Encourage your candidate to join the presidential race or even you too can join the presidential race and we will all rally round to support you.

Blessedassuranc:
Lol... with all these Buhari is known amd established nepotic man is also a patriotic citizen just keep laughing at yourself. Yiu well deserve it

Buhari is not the subject matter and neither is he the yardstick for measuring patriotism.


Participate in the electoral and allow others to do so in peace, even if you think they are bad people.
This is not your private company where you can choose who will be involved and who will not .



You need to be more democratic in nature than the people you constantly criticize.

Guardiola84:
Pls shut up !!its too early to make my stomach ache ,honestly I can't believe that after d 8yrs of this satanic APC govt people go still come d defend buhari n osibanjo tufiakwa !!we go begin d beat u idiots for streets very soon ,otele okuko!!

Your approach of simplying wishing that nobody will support the APC aspirants because of the situations of the country show a superficial understanding of politics in general and Nigerian politics in particular.


If the Devil physically appears in Nigeria with '666' boldly written on his forehead and he stays at Head-Bridge, Onitsha, Nyanyan Bus-park, Abuja , Ajegunle, Lagos and Gyadi-Gyadi,Kano for a month, distributing free packs of Jollof-Rice+ Fried Chicken and a cash gift of #5000 per person, he will become very popular that some people will soon start shouting 'vote High Chief/Alh/ Senator Devil for President'

Some guys will start telling you that 'only the Devil can solve Nigeria's problems'


But to be serious, you need to go beyond abusing and insulting people on Nairaland, you need to start attending party meetings, rallies and campaigns to convince the electorates to vote for a better candidate.

freshkpomo:
You think stake holders win elections abi? How did you think Jonathan lost the presidency? How did you think Oshiomole was floored in Edo with all his influence right from the national level? Common men like us made it happen and guess what? I was only attacking Tinubu not out of Hate but because bof what he has done in the past... And a common man like me have about 10,000 youths I can actually reach out to all over Nigeria.. Na just to tell them wetin them want hear.... Edo nor be Lagos, Say no to Godfatherism, one Man one vote.. all these slogans are the type of things people boijebto hear.. so a common man like me know what to do...

The Dynamics of presidential election is far more complex than that of Edo State Governorship RE-ELECTION.


Even at that, most people need to understand that political parties, especially party bigwigs determine about 70% of the success in an election.

If Obaseki hadn't run on the platform of a strong party like the PDP but decamped to SDP, APGA or Labour Party, he would have lost

PDP had elected senators, House of Reps members and State Legislators in addition to committed Party members in every ward in the State. These people have voters that they can easily convince to support their candidate.


Even if the electorates vote for you, your votes can easily be counted for your opponents during the collation if you don't have strong and loyal party agents at each polling unit. This is why the roles of dedicated party members come into play.

No candidate, no matter how popular can be in all the polling units, you need LOYAL and DEDICATED party agents.

freshkpomo:
mehn you are funny my brother, so these two are good candidates too? Na wa o..... Are they not part and parcel of the current Government that took a Dollar from 190 to over 400 naira?
They are planning to remove fuel subsidy now, same subsidy they called a scam....
Food Price is one the rise..
Check the front page and see how bandits, Boko Haram are having a field day..
If Osinbajo and Co had anything to offer they should have done it now... Nor say I will, I will, but do something with the little you have...

These are the issues that you should use to campaign for your candidate and how he plans to solve these problems.
However, it will be very unrealistic to be assuming or wishing that anyone who serve in the incumbent administration or any member of the ruling party should not contest or have supporters.


Start supporting Kingsley Moghalu, Omoyele Sowore, Atiku Abubakar, Dul Edochie and other aspirants.

freshkpomo:
stop supporting evil Please. This same Group Tinubu,Buhari, Osinbajo, Oshiomole and Oyengu once told us that subsidy was a scam... But today they are planning to remove same subsidy, Your Tinubu has been silent...They did not tell us how a sack subsidy became a reality? Now there is hardship already, yet look at what they are planning to do, won't that add to the hardship?

Learn to be more democratic than the people you constantly criticize.



You can not stop people from contesting and you can not stop people from supporting whoever they like.
The democratic alternative is for you to start supporting your candidate and try to convince the electorates to support him too.

Blessedassuranc:
What is patriotic about Tinubu? See who is talking about TRIBALISM? King of TRIBALISM accusing another for being truthful?

Joining the electoral processes to offer one's service for his country, on it's own is a patriotic act.

It means such a person believes in elections where citizens choose whoever they want to lead them instead of resorting into self help and other undemocratic means of attaining powers.
It will also inspire future generations that the ballot box and not the barrels of guns are the acceptable means of getting into position of leadership.

Ihuomanice1:
I wonder why this man no wan allow his old age and Brain to rest

Is he complaining?


Sometimes, I can't stop wondering why and how people who have shown the greatest hatred and hostility towards a man are also insisting on dictating to him on how or if he should pursue his life ambition.

TheABOMINATION:
Tinubu is the very opposite of Jonathan, he doesn't care if Nigeria divide or descend into chaos as a result of his presidential ambition.

How can Nigeria descend into chaos or divide just because a private citizen is consultating widely with opinion moulders to seek their support in the coming election?

Anyim Pius Anyim is also consultating people. Can this also leads to division of Nigeria?

freshkpomo:
I am glad you mentioned health here, nor be me talk that one o... Secondly I am not bki d hating anything, what did he transform bin Lagos actually? Lagos was a one time Capital territory... It's Just like praising the FCT Minister for transformation Abuja... You are the one following a leader blindly, even if I decide to change my mind to Vote Tinubu, I still won't want a president that will be running to London hospital evry now and then... You have seen how OBJ aged, that's to tell you Tinubu that ruled Lagos as over 10 years ago, is not same Tinubu you have today in terms of flexibility... Why don't you guys talk about Fashola and Co? Since you want a Yoruba leader at all cost, did Fashola not do his best for Lagos too?

You still don't understand how people emerge as the flagbearers.


You don't emerge simply because people are talking about you just as you don't get employed just because you are the guy people are talking about unless you apply for the job.

Fashola or Osinbajo are good but they aren't applying for the job.

freshkpomo:
Let me give you a little secre, two things win elections in Nigeria. The first is Rigging, the second is sentiment!! How many delegates did APC have when they took over power from mighty PDP back then? Just tell the people what they want to hear,you will see it escalate and spread like wild fire... Obaseki lost almost all his top men before the election, Almost everybody was loyal to Oshiomole. Talk about the Elites, they all supported Oshiomole, but how did it turn out? ..... So your issue on delegates speaks nothing, once you tell the people what they want to hear, nothing will stop them...that was how APC rode into power and many politicians have done this too...

Obviously you don't even understand what is happening right now.

Tinubu, Anyim Pius Anyim and other Aspirants are NOT yet candidates of their parties for the election that will take place in Feb,2023.


They are presently criss-crossing the country , seeking endorsement and support from party delegates and opinion moulders who can talk to the delegates to vote for them during the parties' primaries.


It's after anyone emerges victorious at the primaries that they will now face the whole country for the general election.

holluwizzy:
U forgot to mention that the same igbos run the economy of the country.

Importation of goods which u also use.

Every tribe has it flaws.

Yoruba Asslicking tinunbu and agbero.

Fulani with bandits.

Hausa, confused and farmers.

Igbo, economy driving and useful products.

Economic activities in Nigeria is NOT limited to importation, even though several other tribes also participate in the importation businesses.


The Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri oil marketers are a vital part of the Nigerian economy.

The Yoruba cocoa producers and exporters as well as the Timber business men exert great influence on the economy of Nigeria.

The Benue Farmers are contributing to the GDP of Nigeria.

obailala:
Isn't it just funny how the majority of the people tagging Tinubu as 'desperate' for seeking the presidency for the first time, are the very ones rooting for a 'non-desperate' Atiku that has jumped to countless political parties hustling for the same presidency?

Isn't it weird how the very same people calling Tinubu old, are scrambling for a 'young virile' Atiku?

Isn't it just amazing how the same people saying Tinubu's crime was bringing Buhari to power, have somehow so quickly and conveniently forgotten that Atiku was also an APC financier in 2015?

All these filmsy excuses they give about Tinubu is just like giving a dog a bad name to hang it. It's done out of envy and tribalism ,it is not about patriotism.

Even if Igede man like you drop wish to go ordinary Senate, it’s never gonna happen. So continue to the manage the 60k Federal Job way Buhari Government give u.
