The Bigger south would have considered voting a southwest candidate from an opposition party just for the the interest of the entire south. But having in mind what the entire southwest did to our own in 2015. I think its time they are thought some lesson.

Dele Momodu has just declared interest in the PDP presidential race and he may win the ticket.

ObianujuAku1:
Tinubu will not even win SW to start with

Well done sir, the All-knowing decider of Southwest politics

ablejesus26:
It's not even about tinubu sef I have asked people from different tribes and the resolve seems to be e never reach Yoruba turn.

If Apc doesn't give the ticket to Umahi then power might just stay in the North.

So your personal survey is superior to an election involving the whole country?


Let the Nigerian electorates decide who they want.

This is hilarious and it clearly shows how uninformed most Nigerian youths are.


Jonathan wasn't betrayed in anyway by anybody.


Jonathan received about 40% of the votes cast in the S/West ,this doesn't suggest a candidate hated in the Region.

Jonathan lost in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ondo States but won in Ekiti State reflecting the strengths of the APC in the five States and the strength of the PDP in Ekiti State under Gov Ayo Fayose.

Political parties determine the success or failures of the candidates.

In the 2015 election, not just Jonathan but most people who contested elections on the platform of the PDP were defeated in the S/West.


It's funny seeing apparently educated people declaring that Jonathan/PDP was betrayed by the SW , suggesting that Jonathan should have won in the SW even when the PDP didn't win in the House of Assembly, Gubernatorial, House of Reps and Senatorial elections in the SW.

We know the meaning of curb but what is CRUB?

you see why you people are hypocrites?yoruba musicians sing in igbo e,g davido,ayinde marshal sang love nwantinti that song is from nelly uchendu, fire boy sang it too, female nigeria musician with highest viewed song is Johnny sang by yemi alade and it was in igbo and pidgin,ok let me say igbos are the best footballers in nigeria ,never in history of nigeria a yoruba person captained nigeria and we won any thing,Christian chukwu captained nigeria 1980 we won,1994 Stephen okechukwu keshi captained nigeria we won,3 african best footballers of the are are all igbos,Michael Jackson might ve won Grammy 5 times but his not better than Prince,I hate when flavour will sing a song when you check the song on YouTube you will see more than 60million viewd,then 9nice will sing one juju song with 500,000viewd people like reno will like to force him on we igbos,

You are giving answers to questions that were never asked.




The highest number of Nigerian musical hit songs that command International attention are sang in which language?

doggedfighter:
Arrewa, it's built not build.




Is that water fountain you are celebrating with repetitive pictures?


And who's the shameless man sitting and posing in front of water fountain in 21st century?



Who are those yoots there going round there as if it's a tourist attraction?

Please be happy for them once.



If you know what was on that spot before especially in a semi-desert Town like Nguru, you will applaud the youngman.














However, post the picture of water fountain in your home State.

Ykc2:
You see people like reno or ffk? following this people on your own peril,do you know in the whole Africa people know nigerian kings as igwe?if you tell me any music in nigeria that they don't add igbo or yoruba then I will tell you that music is not making waves,ayinde marshal music stop only in yoruba land ,even in the 80s reno was talking about onyeka onwenu was there nelly uchendu was there ,oby onyioha was there,reno needs traffic on twitter today

There are musicians in all parts of Nigeria but Nigerian music that receive International attention most are those that were sang in Yoruba language, even non-Yoruba musicians sometimes sing in Yoruba or collaborate with Yoruba musicians for wider acceptability e.g Tuface, P-Square, Sunny Okosun, Phyno etc

true2god:
PSQURE, J-MARTINS, TIMAYA, Burna Boy etc are all Yorubas.

But they all waxed songs in Yoruba.



Burna Boy is 50% Yoruba.

Armaggedon:
Yorubas are good in music and Yorubas are best in music are two afferent statements. I'll wait until he makes the second statement which obviously he is afraid of making.

Phyno flavour and a lot of Rapper use more Igbo than English and are quite popular outside Nigeria.

Not to mention that Gospel music uses more Igbo and has even grown to be more influential outside Nigeria than secular one

Individual artistes and not tribe can be rated to be the best in a particular genre of music in a particular year.

derecho:
If you understand the fundamentals, you'll not be given to this narrative. I know you don't understand my last statement.
However, if you believe this narrative, why shouldn't we put anybody as our leader since everyone is bad?

Leaders emerge from the people.




Our leaders aren't Egyptians, South Africans or Japanese, they are our brothers, Uncles, cousins and just about 20 years ago, they were also ordinary citizens like us, complaining about bad leadership in Nigeria.




If you look at how ordinary Nigerians with 'little authorities' operate and manage their organizations like Student Unions or Community Development Associations etc, you will understand the problems of Leadership in Nigeria

socialmediaman:
That’s exactly why Tinubu is no good for Nigeria. He will let harm befall Nigeria just to be loyal to the gang of looters in his party

This is why an election will need to be held to determine this.

dvkot:
so he can loot more money and fuel his drug infused lifestyle? Or do his daughter can become iya oloja of Nigeria and demand N1000 from everybody? Or what exactly? Someone that can't crub touts in lagos want to crub terrorist? You are as blind as BAT

What is crub?



You need to seriously work on your English Grammar so that you can pass IELTS if you really want to migrate to develop countries if Mr Tinubu wins.

CSTRR:
You are on your own.
Go and campaign for tinubu in your house.

Don't insult or irritate us on this platform

I am not campaigning for any candidate but I want the right of all citizens respected.

There already so many people campaigning for Tinubu already and if you can't stomach this, why not just 'look away' in Naira Marley's voice?

Greenback:
This is Nigeria...we have unwritten laws.

All societies are dynamic sir.

No society is static.



As we continue to practice democracy, so many problems will crop up and as we learn to solve these problems, things will change.

With time, even the president won't be able to determine his successor.


It has happened several times at State levels where some candidates have become Governors without the support or even with strong opposition from their predecessors.

derecho:
Friend, one man can be a nation's problem and one man can be a solution thereby making it great.
Never underestimate the power of leadership.

It's amusing seeing Akeem, the petrol attendant who had adjusted the pump to cheat customers, Janet who is sleeping with professors to pass her exams, Haruna, the herdman who kills and brutalize farmers, Emeka who is selling fake Medicines, Mr Adekunle who hires mercenaries to write WAEC for his son, Mrs Edet who is a magistrate that loves collecting bribes to dispense 'judgement' , Ituen the Aye cultist who rapes and maim fellow students on Campus, Abubakar the Bandit, Gloria the operator of Baby Factory plus the big chief who killed a runs-girl for money ritual ,all coming online to scream that Nigeria is not working.

makemoneywbsite:
But APC rode on hatred for Jonathan and the by extension the SS to win. Why are you guys afraid of the same treatment for the Bullion Van Druggie? It's amazing that Yoruba people love cheating, lying, treachery and every vice that cause the Fulani to name them Yoruba. None of you even remembers your real identity because your double-face life fits your new name.

Which hatred for Jonathan?
Jonathan received millions of votes in the S/West both in 2011 and 2015.


The real reason Jonathan was defeated was the emergence of the APC, formed by the unity of all major opposition parties. Similar scenerio played out in Ghana few years earlier.

If it were still era of one major party, the PDP and several smaller weak parties, the PDP couldn't have been defeated.


You see party democarcies is relatively new in this parts of the world.

RexTramadol1:
Journalism is about saying the truth and nothing more



She might not have a vested interest but did she put up facts?


Has the UAE, China and Singapore who were on same trajectory as Nigeria as at 1999 still on the same pace with Lagos which is said to be the height of Tinubu’s brilliance?


If Lagos is not a paradise, even with BAT and his protégé being there since 1999, what will change in his 8 years at the center that will make Nigeria a paradise?

1) UAE, China and Singapore are sovereign countries and it amount to poor journalistic accumen not to know the differences between Lagos which is a federating unit in Nigeria and sovereign countries.

2) The development of Lagos is relative to the development of Nigeria as a country.
Lagos can NOT develop in Isolation if the rest of Nigeria are still backward, just like your left hand can not be better fed than the rest of your body.


Obviously, Abimbola Adelakun is more educated and well informed to know these but politics happened!


3) What were the budgets and Human Development Indices (HDI)
of UAEChina and Singapore in 1999 compared to Lagos in 1999?

Greenback:
The truth is really bitter to you..sorry o,Mr solution finder

We need solutions to Nigeria's problems.











As many people as possible need to join the presidential race.
This will allow the electorates to have a broad range of choices.

Even if a mad man wants to contest, let him be. At the end, the people will choose the best candidate.

Nwibii:
You ended up by saying nothing.

You can end up saying something sir. . . it's free.

socialmediaman:
The writer did their job, warn Nigerians the same way they were warned about Buhari. Oshiomole was once a patriotic Nigerian who led the NLC through many challenging times in the labor industry in the past, then he became Governor, then wanted to become godfather, the very thing he fought against in Edo state.

Tinubu had an alliance that imposed the worst President Nigeria ever had, twice. His sins could’ve been forgiven and seen as a mistake if he had backed out of supporting Buhari again in 2019, but no! He must impose the nightmare on Nigerians again, due to a selfish ambition to become President.

Can a particular citizen make somebody to become president?


















Is Tinubu, a co-founder in APC expected to leave the candidate of his party and support the candidate of the opposition?

Angelfrost:
What ax?!! When did speaking the truth become hate?!!

Personally, I have nothing against Tinubu other than the fact that he was willing to sacrifice the peace, lives, and progress of millions of his own countrymen on the altar of his personal presidential ambitions!

He, more than most, knew that Buhari had absolutely nothing to offer, yet backed him just to have a shot at occupying that position after 8 years! It never crossed his mind the risk of the nation imploding within that time frame.

Bros, start campaigning for Omoyele Sowore, Anyim Pius Anyim, Kingsley Moghalu, Yul Edochie, Atiku or Yahayah Bello.

Any one of these is free from all the negatives in Tinubu and can take Nigeria to the promise land

CSTRR:
You don't need to look for Angel Gabriel.

There are a lot of people higher up in the morality scale than tinubu.
A clown that his representative could not even say his source of income on national TV.

You telling us that we have no earthly choice than tinubu is an insult to all of us.

I even think atiku is less corrupt than him.

And I will never vote for atiku.

Then start campaigning for that Alhaji/Chief/ Senator with higher morality and let the people choose whoever they like. It's very simple.

Kingpin1000:
You see your small brain?
You want her to give you an alternative candidate and solutions to the problems Tinubu caused.
So you can say she is painting Tinubu black just to make her preferred candidate acceptable.

You deserve a knock on your coconut head.

The presidential election is an ELECTION and an election,by nature is essentially a CONTEST.

It's NOT a referendum where voters will vote on whether Tinubu is good or bad.

There will be several other people who are putting themselves forward for the electorates to choose them. If Tinubu is not good, there must be another contestant who is good.

derecho:
The solution is masked in the article unfortunately you didn't see it.
She's just saying, people shouldn't fall for Tinubu's spin doctors-An advice, if you ask me.

When solving a problem,one of the first things to do is identify the problem.In this case, Tinubu is one major cankerworm.
Besides, Nigeria doesn't need an Angel and Tinubu can't be trusted.His desperation made him endorse Buhari twice.
We have a lot of Nigerians across ethnic divides who can pilot this nation to greatness.
Talking about Tinubu is a no-no

So if Tinubu drop out of the presidential race, Nigeria will automatically be piloted to greatness.








One man can NOT be the problem of Nigeria and one man can NOT make Nigeria great

Cantonese:
Thank you for your decent response.

Agreed that democracy thrives on choices. Nobody is restricted or should be restricted in anyway from expressing their democratic rights or aspirations.

I am not advocating for Osibanjo, neither am I a supporter of the failed party, APC, but looking at his pedigree, do you not see him as someone who will make things work?

Nobody stops BAT from contesting, but looking at Adelakun’s comment, where can you find any fault in reality?

At this point for me, we should stop recycling certain old politicians, not just BAT, but others who have held this nation by its jugular and consistently suffocate the citizens.

This nation needs to move forward. We must not elect our leaders out of sentiments. We must elect only people who understand what the words “change” and “next level” mean in the true sense.

There are so many things wrong with Adelakun's write-up.

The lady merely regurgitated what most haters, enemies and opponents of Tinubu have been recycling online with any iota of intellectual investigations to ascertain the Truths.

1) She alluded that Tinubu's parents and names are shrouded. She ought to tell us who are the real parents of Tinubu and his given name and tell us where crimes have been committed in all these.
He who alleges must give proofs

2) She singled Tinubu, who is not holding any office, out to receive all the blames of the Buhari Administration. She didn't even blame Buhari for his shortcomings.


Now, can Tinubu single handedly make Buhari or anyone president? Why has she not blamed other people in the party for the failures of Buhari?

3) Tinubu was Governor between 1999-2007 but Abimbola somehow feel he is still to blamed for whatever is wrong in Lagos.

In a way, quite unlike her cerebral past, she blamed Tinubu for Lagos not being like Singapore.

How can Lagos, a State in Nigeria be on the same pedestal with a sovereign Nation like Singapore?


Can Lagos develop in Isolation while the rest of Nigeria are backward? The development of Lagos can only be relative to the development of Nigeria as a whole. I am surprised that Adelakun fail to understand this fact.

Will Lagos have become Dubai and Singapore if the State is being ruled by other parties in which Tinubu is not a member?



Tinubu is not a saint, just another Nigerian politician and Abimbola Adelakun is free to hate him but justifying her biases and prejudices by blaming Tinubu for all the ills in the land is quite illogical.

Somebody must become the president and that person is already part of the Nigerian politics, so let her start campaigning for him.

DeepSight:
You see the thing is this - when a known gangster and criminal decides the contest the presidency, people have a right to be alarmed: not only does it speak ill of the society as a whole, but there is the concern that the society being so corrupt, the known gangster may just succeed.

Who is the gangster and who has been convicted of any crime by the court?

Why not spend this same level of energy, time and resources to market a good candidate that is free of all vices and can turn Nigeria into Singapore, Dubai and all those nice places mentioned by the writer?

wilyparker:
Because our votes do not count. The ruling party will ring the election. I prefer Osinbajo

So if Tinubu is out of the race, your votes will start counting?


Are you one of the APC delegates that will vote in the party's primaries?

OfoIgbo:
you guys and your lies.

More Igbos fought to ensure Jonathan was declared the president. No Yoruba person, dead or alive, fought as hard as Dr. Akunyili or Ojo Maduekwe who were even serving ministers.

Mention one Yoruba minister during the Yaradua era who fought as hard as the Igbo duo, to ensure GEJ was enthroned.

Also in 2011, Yorubas did not vote for GEJ massively. Up until a few weeks before that election, Yorubas were campaigning for another Fulani man, the former EFCC boss. It was when Tinubu saw the handwriting on the wall that he started talking about supporting GEJ.
Lagos was won by PDP because of the population of Igbos and other southerners in Lagos. A Yoruba state even voted for Nuhu Ribadu.

Now in 2015 Yorubas showed their true colours, joined the Fulanis in rubbishing their fellow southerner. It was Yorubas that started labelling GEJ a buffoon and incompetent. The records are there. It was Yorubas that threatened Igbo with drowning in the lagoon, all because Igbos at that time, supported GEJ's PDP.

Today, the mastermind of that anti-GEJ move, now wants to be elected the president of Nigeria. We will wait and see what the response from the SS and SE will be

You don't understand how elections are won and lost.

Have you for once sat down to ask who will be the PDP and APC agents in your polling unit?

Do you know how many registered voters are in your polling units, where is the collation centre for your ward? How many votes is your party expecting in your ward?


Your participation and involvement in the electoral process is too superficial. Real politicians are doing their homeworks.

DogmaNation:
U are a big fool! Dey there dey preach,u idiots go collect back! U think say u wise!!! Mumu man!

It's very difficult for a minority political party to win presidential elections.



The PDP will need love of the majority of the masses, far more than hatred for the S/West to win.

Joshy4u:
The best bet for PDP is to field Obi as running mate to a northerner; since APC is settling for Tinubu....
Implications:
SE will vote against Tinubu because he will be seen as a greedy man, after all, he is not popular there.

SS will vote against Tinubu because he was instrumental in betraying their son! and the whole of SS is pro PDP....a Senate president/ good ministerial positions will settle them.

NC PDP already have their Chairman there, and the colossal failure of APC at National level will work against Tinubu because the NC has recorded lots of destruction based on bandits attack

NW 60% for a Northern PDP candidate

NE 70% for a Northern PDP candidate.




It will be a disgraceful outing for Tinubu

This permutation has been repeated over and over.
