Ok now kindly change your names to Pink print and stop serious news journalism. Nigeria P*rn or indecent industry is on the increase now. I mean, a news house have to start reporting on it, let people be careful of who to marry tomorrow. You will be doing good to humanity.

Do you mean a Newspaper should publish the names and pictures of Nigerians who are acting porn?

Ogbuefi2020:
That's the problem, the "fatherhood" Yoruba ascribe to oduduwa is purely biological which is very impossible. To the extent of claiming that he fell from the sky when he actually came around 10th century and his origin remain unclear

Oduduwa was the founder of the most extensive and enduring dynasties in Yorubaland and only members of certain royal families are actually his descendants.

In Yorubaland, the king is the 'father' of the kingdom but this doesn't mean he is the biological father of the town.



As per falling from the sky, you ought to know the difference between myths and histories.


In the olden days, people attribute 'heavenly' attribute to themselves to prove that they were superior to others.


Examples of such progenitors with descents from Heaven/sky can also be found in Igbo mythology (Eri was said to have descended from the sky) and Bini mythology (The Ogisos were said to have descended from the sky. Ogiso= Ogie +Is= King + sky)

LILTJAY:
sje isn't chinwe nigga... her name is layal holm.. she ain't nigerian

Lenanese-Nigerian means one of her parents is a Nigerian (igbo)

PrinceOfLagos:
The guy is testing waters so see people reactions
Tinubu family are making a mockery of lagosians

Honestly, there's nothing wrong if the man wants to contest for Governorship.
If more formidable candidates refuse to contest, he will win.


What we need is transparent electoral system.


The sons of Obanikoro and T.A Orji are currently House of Reps member and Speaker respectively.




The late Senator Isiaka Adeleke (Davido's uncle) was the first Executive Governor of Osun State and later on a Senator representing Osun West till his sudden death and his younger brother, Senator Ademola Adeleke replaced him in the Senate.

Ademola Adeleke was the PDP flagbearer in the 2018 Osun gubernatorial election and the most likely flag bearer come 2022 election.


The late strong man of Kwara Politics, Dr Olusola Saraki was the Senate majority leader in the Second Republic and his son, Dr Bukola Saraki was two term Governor of Kwara State and two term Senator from Kwara Central.

EmekaBlue:
Lagos is not even a yoruba state but a no man's land...It will be shared collectively in the nearest future

Then join the Governorship take to defeat Seyi Tinubu if he really wants to contest.


Everyone is free to contest ,I don't see anything bad in aspiring to elective posts in one's State.

PrinceOfLagos:
Nigerians react Seyi Tinubu governorship campaign poster surfaces online ..

Seyi Tinubu is the son of Bola Tinubu

As a PrinceOfLagos, why don't you contest for the Governorship of Lagos to defeat Seyi.


Just say that your aim is to defeat Seyi Tinubu and this will get you alot of sympathy votes and who knows, you may be lucky enough to win.

No State, no Party on the 'poster'


This is most likely the handiworks of mischief makers.

Nomorelove:
You speak like an illiterate. With the level of threat people received won't they fear for their lives? You guys just open your disgusting mouth to spit thrash. Try and have sense for once.

She testified at the panel months ago but she was just attacked now and you think this attack is connected to her testimony at the panel?

If the Government want to kill her, they would have done so in a more perfect and effective way.

eobianke:
They would soon call her IPOB
I don't understand how anybody who doesn't see sense in Tinubu's presidency is termed automatically IPOB. To be fair what stops, Prof Osinbajo, or even Fashola or Adeshina of AfDB from being supported and encouraged to via for the post instead, we want another London medical tourist as president. Nigeria matter don't tire me abeg.

Suffer don't dey tire una

There so many presidential aspirants to choose from but people that hate Tinubu are opening threads upon threads on this forum to give the impression that Tinubu is the only presidential aspirant.

Factshunter:
What's is Fiscal development index to start with? Development...WFT is that? Do you even understand what you saying at all? Fiscal development? Imao

The guy just manufactured one measurement and created a thread about it.

gidgiddy:
You are asking these questions because it is Igbos that are the subject matter. If the Northerners decide to pull out of Nigeria this very night, you wont even adk these questions because they will go, and nobody in the South will be able to do nothing about it

That same North already has an insecurity problem that is getting worse by the day.

Nigeria is going to naturally collapse because the centre cannot hold

You didn't answer the questions but introduced unasked questions.

In Nigeria, the importance of ethnic groups which fan tribalism is more pronounced than in the USA or Israel because Nigeria favour consumption over productivity, thus such ethnic identities are used as the basis for sharing power, wealth and privileges in Nigeria.



If we favour productivity, there won't even be need to be asking for 'State of origin' in Government documents.

Ogbuefi2020:
How a well educated nation like Yoruba came up with the fabble that they all originated from oduduwa (circa 10th century) still baffles me. Similar attempt was made in igbo land to foist an Eri-centric history on us but it was rejected by our academic intelligentsia, rather, all communities founded by Eri were identified

When people say that someone is the father of a Nation( e.g Ataturk = Father of the Turks, Attah Igala= Father of the Igalas), it means the personality played a key role in shaping the nation and it doesn't necessarily mean the individual is the biological father of everyone in the nation.
Examples of such 'Fathers of the nations' are found in all parts of the world from Israel to Mongolia to Rome.



Each ethnic group evolve differently, so it is unnecessary to assume that what is obtainable in one ethnic group must be obtainable in another one.

Sen Anyim may actually be the next president.

Kdon2:
Ok. May the plight of those people befall you and your generation if there is indeed a massacre. Can you say amen?

Bros, neither nor Satan answers this kind of prayers

PROUDIGBO:
No they wouldn’t! You must think most Lagosians are daft and beholden to the Tinubu mafia! What will happen is what has always happened in the past with gubernatorial elections in Lagos state since Tinubu became the ‘capone’ of Lagos....they will rig and intimidate their way to ‘victory’! What may work against them this time around would be the new system of accreditation and electronic transfer of results that wouldn’t give them enough room to cook the figures as they come in, like before!

Bros, don't deceive yourself ,none of all the Governorship elections in Lagos was truly won by the PDP which hardly win more than 2-3 LGAs.

The elections reflected the wishes of majority of the voters.

Kdon2:
He was part of the cover up against innocent endsars protesters that were killed at the lekki toll gate.

There is nothing like Lekki protesters in the constition which determine who is eligible to contest.

PrinceOfLagos:
You said the same thing on Ambode until he was eventually booted out for Sanwo Olu

Seyi Tinubu is next in line for Sanwo Olu job

Actually, anybody can run for election, including you and the man in this poster or a relative of a former Governor. Anybody that gets the highest votes wins.



In the US, George H. Bush was a House of Representatives member, Vice president and finally became a president.
His sons, Jeb Bush and George Bush were simultaneously the Governors of Florida and Texas.
Later-on George Bush Jnr became the president of the USA just after 8years that his father left the same office.


Two fathers and two sons had become presidents of the US.

rickyrex:
for me there's nothing like interest it all about party... As far as Nigeria politics is concern... Brainwash the masses on why pdp or apc is bad they will follow you. I was in kebbi state during 2015 election and I can tell you that most of them don't have interest what dey have is party affiliation. God forbid tinubu dies tomorrow you will know if the south west has interest or party affiliation. If tinubu decided to decamp to pdp most people will follow even after calling pdp thieves. The truth is that Nigeria politics speaks same language and not Interest. That is a governor can leave his state and go to another state to campaign and people will still listen to him.

Politics is about interests sir.

However the interests varies from persons to persons.


For ordinary Nigerian (the masses) ,who in most cases don't benefit directly from the Government and majority of whom can't think deeply, their Interests may be as banal as 'having their tribal, regional or religious person in office'.

A good number of people in this class can be motivated to vote for these 'their' candidate if there is some financial rewards for the voting e.g a cash of about #500 or some amount of kerosene, raw foods etc.


For members of a political party, who stand to gain from Government if their party is in power, these people vote for their parties.

For active politicians, they vote for people/ parties that can give them access to the corridors of power e.g Senatorial candidates on the platform of the PDP in Enugu or Edo States will work to deliver their towns/LGAs to the PDP during the presidential election.

rickyrex:
judging from 1999 how many states did pdp controled? I want to focus and make my point on politics I can remember. Buhari contested how many time against a larger party pdp still did not win, just like every other party that lost against pdp. The reason is because they control a small portion of the state. Another thing is how influencial the party is. There are state controlled by a party not popular yet when it comes to presidential election they lose to the bigger party like Lagos State. Controlled by acn then and when it comes to presidential election they don't deliver rather pdp will go home with the larger chunk but when acn merge with other party to form a bigger party called apc today we can all see how they are delivering their party. Politics in Nigeria is dynamic. What favoured you yesterday might not favour you today. Edo, imo, and Ogun is a good example of no to godfatherism unlike before

You are muddling up issues sir.


What exactly is your point?




Mine is that the North is as diverse as the South.


Politics is about interests. The interests of the Berom, Tiv, Nupe, Bolewa, Bachama, Ebira, Igala and Yorubas in Kwara & Kogi aren't necessarily the same as the same as the interests of the Fulanis.

waterpouroverfl:
fIn the upcoming Presidential race, my opinion on why the Igbo man don't want to compete with the Yoruba man in any Presidential election is a result of who get the highest vote as far as Nigeria is concerned but the truth be it the election will be base on religion and not just truth

And as is stand the Igbo are full blooded Christian and that is part of their inheritance While the Yoruba man are more on the Muslim part

Majority of the north whom have a high concerntration of Muslim will not think twice in voting their own religious person


The Igbo man are being known by the northerners as a man minded business man and as a full blooded Christian.

Notwithstanding the northerners see the emergence of an Igbo man as an enemy because an Igbo pose a threat to their religion and the ethics involved, that's why the northerners will joyfully vote for a Yoruba man if fielded against an Igbo man when it comes to anything election

You have raised some points based on certain assumptions. Now let me ask you some questions;

1) Does it mean ibo candidates will no longer contest for the presidency because Muslims will not vote for them?

2) If it is true that Muslims in the North consider the Igbos as threats to their Interests, would they have changed this behavior after 2023 and replace the hatred with love , mistrust with trust?

Hashabiah:
Bros, I would rather have one person loot the country and enjoy peace , than have a thousand loot the country, but yet I cannot sleep well at night. Today's politicians are holding power over us, by using our names and situations to collect debts that we and our unborn generations can never pay in three or four lifetimes.

The military you are screaming about is the lesser of the two evils, because during their era , our country had a bit of relevance in the international community , and our level of corruptions wasn't as profound as it is today .

During that period, at least the naira had value ...and we could boast of something in terms of stability and economic growth . But now , our economy has dwindled into a cesspool of illicit debt that has sold us into confusion and abject poverty .

I agree than the military looted ; and I also agree that Obasanjo meddled in affairs that were corrupt and questionable. But let us not forget that this was done under a civilian regime ,which by hypocrisy, is meant to follow "diplomacy" in its dealing. And that includes the possibility of paying bribes( yes you heard me well...just ask Americans because they do it all the time) to pacify certain disgruntled individuals.

To make you understand, can you recall the Abekoya movement that was foiled in the military era by this same military leader who used direct force to confront those spearheading it ? Had it been the Abekoya movement was done in a civilian regime, the battle would have continue till date because of silly democratic institutions. This is a fact that you cannot deny : the military is still better than this rubbish we are currently practicing .

The Military rule was the greatest disasters that happened to Nigeria.



The military plunged the country to a needless war which still cause bitterness till today.



The military brought unnecessary and inpracticable unitary system which is weighing Nigeria down.



Military officers who had no experience in governance, no political manifestoes or the patriotic zeal became Heads of States and some were given States they don't know anything about to govern (as Military administrators) just to buy their loyalties to the Head of State and bribed them from making coups.







The military era was a period of political instability and represent a negative part of our political history that we aren't proud of.

rickyrex:
the ideology in politics been played in the south is different from the north. Northners play a single interest politics why south play a divisional politics. How do I mean? Northners speaks one language irrespective of different party they concluded on one table but south speak different languages and politucal party is divided across the south. 8 pdp governors and 8 Apc and 1 anambra apga. Of which apga is indirectly pdp. You can't expect all pdp candidate to leave their presidential candidate and vote for Apc cause his from the south. This system would have played better if it were those days pdp control large amount of the states but it can't be like that now cause both parties has places they are controlling now. South will be a hard factors for someone like buhari cause there's no form of unity

The myth that the North is one and speak with one voice is nothing but a myth.

In every election, different political parties win in different parts of the North.

In the First Republic, there were more 'strong' parties in the North than in the South.


In 1979 elections, The NPN won Sokoto, Niger, Benue and Kwara States, PRP won Kano & Kaduna States, Zik's NPP won in Plateau State and GNPP won Borno and Gongola States.

In the ill fated 3rd Republic, the North was divided between SDP and NRC.

In 1999 , the defunct APP won several States all in the North against the PDP.

usmexy1:
Scammers....Pdp primary election should not be organised in Port Harcourt.....

But why?

Asgard73:
Agreed ...

But different stakeholders... and interest.
Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria... absolutely nothing

If after 25 years as Lagos godfather ... the state still stink and dirty .. with absolutely nothing new or innovation..

What thenis he going to offer “NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY

NO DECIEVE YOURSEF

But Tinubu is not in PDP sir.


The topic is about presidential candidate of the PDP.

GardenOfGod:
PDP knows the game very well and they will present a candidate from the north
central who will beat Tinubu with a wide margin. It might not be Atiku.

And this candidate has no names, 14 months to the election?

Asgard73:
Will wish an Atiku and bola Tinubu on Apc and pdp for an experiment

Yoruba think Nigerians are all Yoruba ..

You never disappoint, this has nothing to do with Yorubas but I know you will bring Yoruba into the matter.

PrinceOfLagos:
Werey woman

But she raised valid points.

assent:
And what gives you the impression that I prefer Atiku? Is that one of the signs of deceptive sophistication?

You claim you are neutral, yet, your bias is visible to the blind. . Keep on fooling yourself.

Then start campaigning for your preferred candidate sir.



It's a futile attempt to think that you can stop other people whom you think are bad candidates from joining race or persuade other Nigerians from supporting a candidate you don't like.

louqas:
Yet you castigate people for making the same valid choice of not voting for Atiku.....you began to hate everyone who disagreed with your choice.... fake democrats only flaunt democratic credentials when it favours you but reject when it doesnt favour you. Democracy gurantees freedom of choice but in the ibomans dictionary everyone must follow his choice or they become enemies....

But I am not Igbo nau and I don't castigate peopple for making their choices

assent:
You are an enemy of Nigeria yourself. That's why you are campaigning for a drug dealer.

Please bro, start campaigning for your beloved Atiku and leave those who want to campaign for Tinubu to do so in peace.

PlayMaker14:
The fate that befall Godwin Maduka at the Anambra Gubers will befall Bobo Chicago....


Regardless, Tinubu for President 2023.

Who was Godwin Maduka and what happened to him?
