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.

Bros, start looking for second wife now and actualize it latest by June if your wife fails to return to her matrimonial home.

Kccheechy:
Is it the same Davido that said that he wasn’t brilliant and wasn’t getting good grades in school?? the same davido who said his teacher once told him that he won’t make it in life because he wasn’t academically sound?

Davido actually studied Music at the University.


Most people think he studied one serious and difficult course.

leomarz007:
Why are y'all degrading davido. What do u mean by he doesn't look like one who has good book head. Den dey write who sabi book for face.

During my time the Don 1 for cultist and Igbo smoking from ekpoma follow carry first class. The guy know something die.

Ogbeni If u no sabi book no reason say the next person be like you.

When I was in 100L in the university, all my friends and i were surprised one day when an announcement was made that Kegites Club will be conducting their tutorials to help Students.

We went to this tutorials out of sheer curiosity, lol and behold, we saw brilliant academic discussions being delivered by apparently unserious Kegites members.

Idiko1:
Do you intellectually and remotely embrace the fact that ports in Nigeria are exclusive domain of federal government? I really want Nigeria to disintegrate so as to usher fresh intellectual development.

Railways, Airports and Seaports are in the Exclusive LEGISLATIVE list in the constition.

What this means is that only the FG can legislate on these. It doesn't necessarily mean only the FG can build and operate Railways,Airports and Seaports.


During the Military Era, the FG directly went to the business of building and operating Airports and Seaports on behalf of all Nigerians but after over 40 years of this practice, nothing much was achieved except inefficiency, nepotism and massive corruption.


In the present dispensation, the FG is restricting itself to Legislative and regulatory roles, giving licenses to whoever wants to build these infrastructure.

The Anambra Airport, Lagos blue light rail, Port-Harcourt light rail, Gelegele Seaport in Edo, Ibom Air and Lekki Seaport are all States projects carried out after receiving licenses/approval from the FG.

Cantonese:
Looking at the write up without bias, cannot you dispute the fact the very bad leaders have been foisted on us as citizens? This country has gone from bad to worse on all indices.

We had an Ambode who was doing quite well in terms of infrastructure and trying to make Lagos better and a mega city, but he was removed because he did not play ball. With him by now, agberoism would have become history.

By now people living in a so called mega city like Lagos should be ashamed of agberos, okadas and keke napeps. Their activities had been successfully curtailed by Brig. Marwa before 1998 and we had peace. Today agberos have even taken over control of traffic lights in parts of Lagos. The leader of NURTW presently campaigns and the reason is simple. Get BAT in and have an additional 8 years of the nuisance in Lagos.

Adelakun has no axe to grind. The truth is there for everyone to see, except one chooses to behave like the proverbial ostrich.

He’s greed is responsible for the national calamity that we experience today nationally. Before 2014 BAT was a regional leader. His leading ACN to team up with CPC was to gain national prominence and as we have finally heard to satisfy his “life long ambition”. If what we presently experience from APC is the best of our president, as he said, what difference will APC under BAT make?

For me the candidate for the SW should be Osinbanjo. The difference is very clear.

Look my friend, the beauty of democracy is the plurality of choices.




There are over 10 other Presidential aspirants, why not chose one with unblemished records and start promoting his candidacy?


Why this funny idea that if Tinubu is contesting, other aspirants are automatically prevented from contesting?



In developed democracies, you won't see so many people asking that a particular citizen must not contest or people campaigning against a particular citizen like they are doing here.


Tinubu has a God given and constitutional right to aspire to the highest office in his country, it's evil trying to take away that right from any citizen.



Tinubu is not saying you or your candidate should not contest, so why are you saying he should back out of the race.


Allow the electorates to chose the best candidate

Omooba77:
Anybody but a man whose hands are full of blood....

Good.




Now start campaigning for that Chief/Senator/Alhaji Anybody for 2023.

mrvitalis:
Name any Igbo politician that has talked down on tinubu ..just one

Start reading and paying attention to News (Social Media, Broadcast and Print Media).

litaninja:
Lagos state does not have the capacity for these things and its absolutely unnecessary. Move infrastructure and develop OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA.

Lagos State in conjunction with private investors are building a port in Lekki which has now reached 80% completion and you are saying they should move it to other States?


Edo State is building Gelegele Seaport.

I expect Ondo To start building it's own port soon.

PaChukwudi44:
Both will be disappointed by the North

Democracy is a journey and not a destination.


Start projecting your preferred candidate, antagonizing and demonizing Yoruba candidates won't put an igbo man in Aso-rock.

mrvitalis:
It's Nigeria loss that Igbos haven't been the president of Nigeria not Igbo loss at all .....Igbos have the biggest pool middle class in Nigeria

Any real estate agents can easily verify this and we are the biggest beneficiary of the present Nigeria system


Some tell me what has any politician done to become president that orji many, rochas ,onu haven't done ...I dare anyone to name one thing

They appear to be more fixated on demonizing Tinubu.
They devote their time and energy trying to prevent the SW from reaching Aso-rock than having any Igbo president.










What you look is what you see!

PresidentAtiku:
If the principle of rotational presidency means power should shift to the south, then power should also shift to a Christian.

Buhari has done 8 years for the Muslims.

In the spirit of fairness, it is time for a Southern Christian. Tinubu had this ambition to become Buhari's vice in 2015 but it was obvious the Muslim-Muslim ticket won't fly.

Now he wants to achieve that same ambition to the detriment of Christians. It is unfair and he must be stopped.

Christian Association of Nigeria will soon comment on this.

Anyim Pius Anyim, Moghalu and Dave Umahi are christians, while Omoyele Sowore is a traditionalist, so start supporting any one of them.

Hisbah21:
the political wind is blowing. Tinubu is busy,i hope he wont even pass the primary election..it will be a great mistake if Tinubu wins

Power comes from God.





We can't rule out Divine factors in the emergence of leaders.

Maxymilliano:
The country desperately need true change in leadership now and not a recycling of corrupt, greedy and self serving rogues.

Start projecting Anyim Pius Anyim, Omoyele Sowore or Kingsley Moghalu.

I read the columnist's article to the end and here are my inferences;


The writer believes

1) Tinubu is a bad candidate.

2) Tinubu is responsible for the problems in Lagos State.

3)That Tinubu is the cause of the problems in Nigeria from 2015 till date.

After enumerating everything negative that will happen if Tinubu becomes the president, she didn't point out any solution , especially the candidate with the Midas' Touch that will solve the problems in Nigeria.

Somebody must become the president. Is that person free of all that this woman accussed Tinubu of.








In my own opinion, Abimbola Adelakun seems like someone who has a personal axe to grind with Tinubu.
It's better for her to start canvassing for her candidate, whose morality is at par with that of Angel Gabriel.

Ndimkpurummiri:
what if actualization of Biafra come today?

How can it come today?













Only Atiku can create Biafra after finishing his terms in 2031

kenic:
2019 election that was rigged with underage voters.

What exactly do you think has changed?

bluefilm:
Even a civilian with so much influence?

Obviously you are young and naive.

The power to order movement of Armed troop is a very important power and ONLY the C-in-C wield such powers. He can however delegate this powers to his military commanders in certain circumstances.



If a civilian, especially one that is outside of Government is given such a power to order the movement of Armed troops, it is serious security risk that can even topple the Government one day.

Agugbadin:
At all, the capable Igbos have not declared people like Peter Obi, Monghalu and many capable and good Igbos politicians are yet to speak. Only theives like Orji Kalu, Theodore Orji, Okorocha and now Umahi saboteur are speaking.

Moghalu has declared on Twitter.

kansoboy:
Who are u guys? I am an Igbo person...umehi stand no chance in APC presidency...u think APC primaries and the game is a joke? Umehi will not make it to 4th position in the primaries....

Even if he doesn't win the Primaries, he will use it to negotiate for something big.
