It was given to obasanjo on a platter in 1999

Then you too should take it on a platter of gold sir.

Ikegwuru:
Look, without sounding immodest, Igbos are the best stock out of Nigeria. Nigeria is wobbling because others have conspired to hold down the best among them. Igbos do not want to begrudge you. Our argument is simple. We love Nigeria. We want Nigeria. But 2023 will clearly show that Nigeria wants Igbos. The same Igbo have a saying that the rejected person does not reject himself. We will affirm ourselves in 2023 if by general folly an Igbo man is not elected president. We labor to grow the country only for fools to fitter its wealth away. 2023 is Igbo man's turn. QED.

This is why should spend your time and energy promoting Dave Umahi, Anyim Pius Anyim and Kingsley Moghalu instead campaigning against a particular citizen.

mikeweezy:
They will rather prefer all this washout men as president and later start crying for lack of productive and hunger in the land

But no one is stopping Peter Obi from joining the presidential race.





If you don't contest, how can you win?

The only reason the cabal seem powerful is because they have only one or at most two formidable candidates to contend with.


If 15 strong candidates are in the race, it will be too difficult to silent all of them.


We must open up the democratic space to accommodate as many people as possible. In the long run, this will strengthen the democratic culture.



Trying to shut out people from contesting is counter productive in the long run

CSTRR:
This is exactly who a lot of people are waiting for.

Once Peter obi declares, all this tinubu noise will fade down.

It won't fade away because there are in different parties.

We need about 25 formidable candidates in the presidential race.

With this, it will be difficult to manipulate because negative forces will cancel out each other.

He was framed? How? You wey dy Niger know say dem frmae am? Frame koh, window ni.

And you were dey Naija know he wasn't?

Read the full story sir.

BallsDeep:
The Tinubu family of Lagos is that of Madam Tinubu slave dealer.

The Tinubu family of Lagos are descendants of Madam Tinubu's slaves and servants who appropriated her property and wealth after her death. Their sudden new found wealth after Tinubu's demise , saw them rocket from slaved to the higher strata of Eko society.

But we know Tinubu isn't even a real Eko slave Tinubu .

So you have a grifter claiming to be from a slave lineage of impostors.

How can one be impersonating a known impersonator?

Lol

Madam Efunroye Osuntinubuwa was an Egba woman and the Iyalode of Egba.

She later on got married to Oba Akintoye, the King of Lagos and after the death of the Oba, she re-married Alfa Momoh Baggara, her Islamic spiritualist.


Some of her relatives from Abeokuta living with her in Lagos, step children and ex-slaves all adopted her name , Tinubu (which by then has become a brand) as surname.

BallsDeep:
Those claiming the name Tinubu are descendants of the notorious slaver Madam Tinubu.

This witch died without a surviving heir and all her properties and wealth were divided among her retinue of over a hundred slaves.

The name Tinubu thus owes it's origins to slaves of Madam Tinubu.

Don't say what you don't know sir.



Madam Efunroye Tinubu didn't start the name and there are hundreds of Tinubu family surnames from Kwara to Kogi to Ogun State, Oyo, Osun to Lagos State.


Tinubu is just like any other ethnic names like Attah, Obong, Osadebe or Adeniji

SkullMinerSW:
Nigerians love their evil and corrupt politicians that have made the country the headquarters of corruption. I won't be surprised either.

Can you suggest the good and upright politician that we should vote for?

slivertongue:
I feel that he is clearly not what Nigerians are looking for after Mr President. He is obviously very frail too.

Okay, but can you please tell us who Nigerians really want sir?

Cholls:
My brother oh boy! RIP Dele Lake, RIP Leke pitan

Do you really mean Dele Alake and Lekan Pitan are dead?

headSmasher:
Which jay jay okocha ? the one accused of tax invasion? which Linda ikeji are you talking about? the hypocrite that gave birth outside wedlock, the unarmed robber that collected #250 million from Jonathan, the fornicator that her source of wealth are shrouded in mystery? all those you mentioned has dents on their names.

Okay, join the presidential race. We will support you.

2023: vote HeadSmasher for president.

reccy:
Serve him right. You probably know the rules and regulation and you open your mouth waaaaaaaaaah to say rubbish.

Why don't you preach your gospel jejely All this wannabe idiot, meet your lord Jesus for heaven, I think that is a better place for you. No complain. Pakistan is only accelerating your meeting with your lord.

The pastor was framed by the Muslim woman who owned the SIM.

Allow Tinubu, El-Rufai, Kwankwanso, Atiku, Dele Momodu, Anyim Pius Anyim, Kingsley Moghalu, Dave Umahi and anyone who is interested in the race to participate.


Negative forces will eventually neutralize each other and Nigeria will be better for it.

Omooba77:
Go to Obalende, Ilupeju, Ebute-Meta, Victoria Islands...Despite AD,AC,APC ruling Lagos since 1999 transportation and commuting in Lagos is getting worse by the day. Check lost manhour daily.
I didn't mentioned Ajegunle, Amukoko, Orile, Ijora, Egbeda, Agege and see how people are deteriorating daily.....

Why do you think Tinubu is the only person in AD, ACN and APC?

Why do you equate a particular citizen with political parties?

JOemmy:
Am yet to see any reasonable responsible yoruba person that's supporting tinibu's presidential ambition those who have came out to back him are mostly lagos agberos and extremely corrupt politicians yet some nairalanders here keep bashing igbos for hating tinibu.

Bros this is democracy sir.



Olosho, Motor park touts, Doctors, Okada riders, Mamaput operators, Professors, Yahoo boys, Engineers, Herdsmen, Lawyers and Al majiris each have only one vote.

Nakedtruths:
That's was mostly non Yoruba votes

So anyone who voted for PDP in the S/West must be a non-Yoruba?

So non-Yorubas made up 40% of the voters in the S/West?

So non-Yorubas were in the majority in Ekiti State in 2015?






Is this the way you reason everyday or Politics just happened to you?

NaijirianKing:
Exactly.

This is why I say the North gets a misunderstood. The North is offering the south more than the south is prepared to offer the south.

The North is offering the SS or SE the VP position. What position is the SW offering the SE under the guise of southern unity?

The game is simple, the SW thinks the SE are not politically aware and that is insulting. This is why the North is going out of its way to reach out to other zones through dignity and respect.

Let every zone field their candidate and let every citizen vote.

Enough.

Is there anyone stopping any zone from fielding their candidates?


Right ,left and centre, people are declaring their Interests to contest for the presidency and apart from the Ohaneze asking Tinubu to step down, no other people are stopping any candidate from contesting.

NaijirianKing:
The problem with MKO is that his victory was only audio, despite Lagos-Ibadan propaganda, there remains an immutable truth, and that truth is that he didn't actually win anywhere in the country outside of a few enclaves within Lagos and disingenuously tried to make it seem that Lagos was Nigeria, while on ground he was wildly unpopular in many places, but tried to use media to put forward a fake result.

It's disheartening to think that this man could've been alive today if he didn't insist that he won that election he clearly didn't win.

The election was determined by the Federal government, The Head of State, and those who counted the votes, to simply be illegitimate, yet this man went on constant speaking engagements claiming that the election was "free and fair" and that he was the winner.

We see where that got him today, all he had to do was accept that he didn't win and move on quietly.

This should be a lesson to all, that sometimes chest beating and noise making attract the wrong type of attention, better to move in silence and keep your next moves close to the chest.

You haven't been born when the election was conducted and you didn't read about the election but only trying to re-write a 29 year old history when millions of the eye witnesses and participants are still alive.




For your information, the June-12,1993 presidential election was conducted using option A-4 in which:


1) There were only two candidates.

2) Each voter queued behind the poster of their preferred candidate and casted their ballots.

3) National Electoral Commission (NEC) officials counted the voters on both lines and the results known by ALL immediately.


* Prof Umphery Nwosu ,the Chairman of NEC had released the results from about half of the States on NTA before Babangida asked him to stop and annulled the election on Jun-23,1993.

Years later, Prof Nwosu announced the results from the remaining States and announced the winner.

If I tell you what will bring solution, I want you to know that the outcome may make you unhappy. However if you don't mind, here is the way to unravel the mystery;



1) Contact the nearest DSS office and make a special request for them to bug your house with detective audio visual spying equipments when your wife must have gone to work.
There after, take 3 weeks transfer/holiday to another State.

Play the record of all that calls she did , including all her conversation while you were away and you will have iron-cast evidence.


2) Bribe the Sharp guy in that hotel to give you the CCTV footage of the room she mistakenly brought the key home around the time you saw the key.
Most hotels have numbers of the rooms on the hotel keys.


*If you had snapped the hotel keys, you would have solved this riddle in a streetwise way long ago.

NaijaTrend01:
See this one. And you think you know how to play politics. Politics of worshipping criminal and corrupt old fools. Apart from milking Lagos dry what has Tinubu achieved. Tinubu is a notorious criminal. He's almost dead and can't lead any local government.

The interview is an opportunity to market Kalu to the Nigerian electorates but he didn't do well with it, how does this involve Tinubu?

Localemperor:
Let's see how all this you said would play out come next year.... Interest can never align in the south for Tinubu to be president.

Elections are won by aggregations of votes. Those who win elections win gradually and those who lose also lose gradually.
Even in States where the eventual winner is defeated, he must work to receive 15-25% of the votes cast.This is how the winner eventually emerges.



However, it's not compulsory or even possible to win everywhere.

Tinubu or any other Southern candidate that gets the APC ticket will have greater percentages than what APC scored in 2015 in both SE/SS, the strongholds of the opposition.



Because of the poor performance of Buhari, the PDP stands a good chance to win if they work very hard and get a candidate that is totally different from the present crop of politicians.

Wawelexy:
I don't think so, this picture must have been taken before he became the governor of Lagos state.... I might be wrong tho...

Nooo, it was taken during one of the matches around the campaign for his re-election.

Leshyne:
Watched the entire interview, and I stand to be corrected, He is the only person that has boldly spoken like one who is ready for the job.

Meanwhile, he never talked much about Tinubu except saying that the party doesn't belong to him.

Tinubu should stop being a tyrant that feels he owns everything. Mark my words he may loose out.

Tinubu has never for once mentioned the name of any other aspirant let alone said anyone should not contest.

The man only said he wants to exercise his God-given and constitutional guaranteed rights to run for office. How does this amount to being a tyrant sir?

NaijaRoyalty:
Was Tinubu aming the founding fathers of AD before he hijacked the party?

This is Karma playing out man and Tinubu will either accept his fate or be kicked out like a Chicken

Point of correction, AD is still in existence and Tinubu didn't hijack AD.

What really happened was that some leaders of the AD led by Senator Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa with inducement from Obasanjo were delibrately causing problems in the party by forming parallel party Excos with two different chairmen.

The Bisi Akande Faction which Tinubu belonged to resigned en mass from AD in 2005 to form ACD which later received some Northern groups to transform into ACN in 2007.

YorubaKing:
Your daddy is a MURDERER!

He used thugs to kill Funsho Williams and several other Political opponents.
He used soldiers to kill hundreds of innocent citizens during the #endsars.

It shall NEVER be well with ur daddy!

With the way you carry this anti-Tinubu matter on your head like Brazilian Hairs, you are likely to have Hypertension by June,2022 and develop stroke by Dec,2022.

Wawelexy:
What year is this,? How old is Jagaban in this picture?

This should be around 2002 during a novelty football match by the Lagos State Cabinet.

ENIGMATIC2023:
Tinubu, Osinbajo, Buhari: A Troika of Treacherous Villains

By Farooq Kperogi

Buhari, Osinbajo, and Tinubu represent a triumvirate. They reinforce, reflect, and inflect each other.

While Osinbajo is clearly a talented, well-spoken man, he is entirely a Tinubu political creation.

It was Tinubu who appointed him as a commissioner in Lagos. It was also Tinubu who facilitated his emergence as Vice President. Politically speaking, without Tinubu, there would be no Osinbajo.

Although Osinbajo is undeniably brilliant (and don’t forget that IBB is brilliant, too!), there are way more brilliant lawyers in Lagos than Osinbajo that Tinubu could have elevated to political visibility, but he chose Osinbajo.

In other words, Osinbajo is an extension of Tinubu. They’re ideologically indistinguishable. They feed off each other’s values. To prefer one to the other is to prefer six to half a dozen, which is another way of making a distinction without a difference.

Both Tinubu and Osinbajo have been important props to Buhari’s ongoing disastrous regime of ungovernance. Without them, Buhari won’t be president.

They also helped plant, grow, and fertilize Buhari’s autocracy and monstrous incompetence every damn step of the way.

In other words, Buhari, Osinbajo, and Tinubu are tarred with the same brush. People who are picking favorites among these monsters of deceit and fraud are not only clueless, they are also enablers of Nigeria’s progressive descent to the nadir of hopelessness.

Our options are not limited to Tinubu, Osinbajo, or even Atiku and all these other old stagers who have been endlessly circulating themselves in the political arena and who’re responsible for the perilous state of the country.

To ask who among these monsters we must choose is to impose unnatural limits on the choices Nigerians have.

Tinubu, Osinbajo, Atiku, and all these other old warhorses of corruption and ineptitude in APC and PDP wanting to be president are some of the worst people to ever get close to power in a nation that is blessed with scores of bright, far-sighted people, but many people are limiting our choices to the worst of us.

When people say Nigerians are their own worst enemies and are complicit in their own oppression, this is what they mean. Nigerians love to create false dilemmas for themselves and claim that they’re compelled to choose the lesser of two evils.

When you’re being roasted in a frying pan, you don’t jump into the fire to seek reprieve. Fire isn’t the only alternative to the frying pan.

The choice mustn’t be between Tinubu and Osinbajo (who’re actually one and the same thing) or between APC and PDP.

If we really want national salvation, we must be prepared to do the hard work of looking beyond the villains who have got us to where we are today.

Anyim Pius Anyim, Dele Momodu, Prof Kingsley Moghalu, Dave Umahi and Sowore are also in the race, so choose any of the good candidates and stop this unnecessary campaign of calumny.

Revolution2022:
That was how tinubu said he graduated from Toronto university until the late gani fawehinni investigated and found out that he forged his Toronto university certificate.
Why is he collecting pension when he is not a civil servant who served for 35yrs?

Bloody Liar, Tinubu never said he graduated from Toronto university.

Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University and the Alumni Association of the University once gave him as an award. Gani Fawehinmi was confusing Chicago State University with University of Chicago.

Tinubu has a solid educational background which enabled him to work for the most prestigious accounting and auditing firm in the world, Deloitte and later on Mobil.

It was Salisu Buhari who said so.

OgunkeelAllMod:
All sort of same old, useless fOols are rearing their big for nothing empty with interest to run a complex jungle like Nigeria. Men without principle, without scruple, Who lack control over their third leg ,their very home front.. Many of them are just doing all for cruise because, being referred to as former or ex predential aspirant is now regarded another form of effizi or social status. Stupid lot with zero values whatsoever.

Dele Momodu is a private successful business who hasn't held any political office.


He is the type that can solve many problems in this country.

You too can join the presidential race if you think you have better experience and exposure.

chaseblack:
I don't believe this man is a fake army general, cos if he is, how will NA explain some ex-special forces and soldiers following him around. Man even claim he is related to Obasanjo *I have met him once*.

Something is fishy here and there is no hook line and sinker...

Most likely he was once a soldier.


Most Nigerians that are dismissed or retired prematurely from military ,police and other privileged organizations find it difficult to accept reality and like to continue as if they are still in active service.

In the 1990s, dismissed NEPA officials usually go about collecting money from defaulters to reconnect them to electric poles usually in the evening.

In rural areas, dismissed police officers like to change locations to remote villages to continue exhorting money through illegal road blocks.

Localemperor:
1. What we decides to do with our votes is non of your business. What is profitable to me at the moment is to see that the North retains power and we would do everything to ensure that.

2.Don't tell them what to do with their vote, you are not their spoke person. i only reminded them of what happened in 2015.

3. Its is your air? are people not free to talk anymore? you are the foolish one that gave a listening ear...

Politics is all about Interests.

1) Your interest is to see another Northern succeeding Buhari come 2023. This is a valid Interest for YOU.
However, there are so many people in Emeoha, Bayelsa, Benin, Warri, Ikot-Abasi or Bomadi who are strongly oppose to such arrangement.

2) Your Interest is the need to prevent a Yoruba man from becoming the President, this is a valid Interest for YOU.

For Mr Edet in Calabar whose brother is contesting for House of Reps under the APC, the interest is to see the APC winning, so also is the interest of Ochuko in Warri who is doing N-Power.
The issues of Jonathan or no Jonathan don't put foods on their tables so they are now more interested in the victory of the APC which can put foods on their tables.

For Amaka who uses the Itakpe-Warri Railway to move her goods from Itakpe to Warri, the APC is her preferred Party.
The Ize-Iyanu family is strongly rooting for the APC because their son is hoping to run for Governorship soon or eyeing ministerial post under the APC.

Even your elder brother may vote for the APC if he got a contract under the APC administration.




In conclusion, people put their PERSONAL Interests first.

The interests of human beings varies and quite complex to assume that everybody in the SS want only one thing- the issues of Jonathan.
