You didn't hear Akpabio's response to Obi in the Senate? He kept using "I". "I did this and that", as if it is his money not Akwa Ibom's. They want to gbajue by making our money look like their own.

The didn't lose him. He is lost himself. We will raise cult heroes like Buhari, Kwankaso, Obi and whoever has the clout eventually, party or no party. Amaechi did not campaign, yet he won election the first time. Since there is no difference between parties, what these guys don't know they are doing is that people will start to look at who to vote for, not which party. Even if the ruling party in a state has all the machinery, it won't do anything.

A lot of our politicians are indisciplined but I don't think they can read the handwriting on the wall. What Obi proved in 2023 is that you don't need a party to win and Nigerians will vote for independent candidates indirectly. E go shock them

They will be shocked to think that it will be Nigerians against them. It's good how they are showing where their bellies lie before 2027. Let's separate the wheat from the chaff.

HEAVEN4444:
am doing a lot . To be termed mildly retarded is not a form of judgement or condemnation. It's just an observation of our elite class spawn . It's God's cruel joke. God is letting you know you are being ruled by men with mild retardation. The father is the son

I hear you. I don't like some of these people, at least the ones that are public officials that their actions as public officer affects me when they are in office and they are not doing well but to judge another man's suffering is to forget that every soul bears its own cross. Even the lion has its own weakness.

What's the meaning of this?

Take it, grab it and run away with it? Common OP!

The living and the dead, treated as one in careless hands

People’s children, regardless of their background, should never be judged or mocked for their personal traits. Autism and developmental differences are natural variations in human experience, and no one has control over such things.

As for wealth and privilege, yes, some people use their position to benefit themselves, but it’s important to remember that the value of a person isn’t measured by their family’s wealth or public position. Rather than focusing on appearances or making assumptions about others, we should strive to support each other in building a more understanding and compassionate society.

In the end, we all face challenges, and it’s how we handle them that truly defines us, not our status or circumstances. If we aim to lift each other up and approach life with empathy, we can all contribute positively to our communities. OP, what are you doing today?

The first picture has the face of Mofe Damijo, the beards look like wisdom but the second picture has the face of Pretty Mike, you are not surprised.

RenaissanceGuy:
Nonsense headline. They didn't declare him wanted.

It's even a shame that they use that phrase of "Nobody is above the law" as if the person they're referring to is the president's son or son-in-law.

The government is above its own law

papyjaypaul:
You want to see the government in cuffs

What is it with Nigerians and abusing naira? I think it's a mental condition. No jokes. You need to sit down and think about what is going on in their minds when they do this.

What a shoddy report. The OP gave us all the details except the most important information, THE AGE.

2cribz:
The heading says efcc arrest tompolo,and not arrests tompolo.
Well I've never seen him in handcuffs,

You want to see the government in cuffs

arantess:
make una leave burkinabes oo.

how can some nigerians be so preoccupied with this man and his country so much like this?

They are agents of the West my friend. I don't support extra judicial killing but some people's nose is so smelly they only know how to pick the nose of others.

papyjaypaul:
How do we have the moral authority to condemn Burkina Faso military rule when your own President and the NATIONAL Assembly organized a coup to remove a democratically elected governor for a military administrator 🤡
Make it make sense Nigerian hypocrites.

Idiots. They want to Gadaffi this guy in a Sankara way. They have been killing people in the middle east and Africa but that one is not masaccre, it's clean-up. Clowns 🤡

AcrossUNIVERSE:
dont use nairaland to promot cultism

A society that promotes criminals, endorses corruption and celebrates immortality is not normal. And it starts from the top.

Seun, ask yourself and ask your mods, what is the essence of this post on a FP on a Monday morning? They still put graphic there as if it's a graphic design. You need very very very mature mods.

nairalanda1:
Yep, and Mohammed Abacha too.

The problem with Nigeria is every tribe thinks that they are suffering more than the others. That is why they argue for the criminals from their tribes to be freed...especially when the criminal is giving them 'palliatives'.

Thought tribe and tongues may differ, corruption unites

Very funny. Expect a rebuttal from Oshiomole tomorrow.

SmartPolician:
PDP is a shadow of its former self now because the party was never built to be in the opposition. If everyone cannot have the same political ideals, they have no business being in the same party.

PDP was built to share power and rotate it and it never occurred to them that Yar Adua will die and Jonathan will want a second term. Power rotation was what set them in motion but power prostration would eventually bring more emotions for the motion to stop.

There was a time we used to have cows on the runway. Now, it's antelopes. Sorry antelope. Rangers International are called the Flying Antelope. I guess this antelope missed its way. It's Abuja.

Exceed15:
What is even the point when you are not sure of job offer after completion. It is not worth it.

What is the point of going to school when you are not sure of getting a job?

Life is about the big risks you take, not the safety of your feelings in the comfort of your home. Comfort is a dangerous zone. Don't get used to it.

Judolisco:
if jamb can do it (although not efficient enough yet) since 2015, then waec should start, if we don't start, then politicians won't put infrastructures in place.... Let's start first.... I don't know why d jamb registrar prof hasn't been made minister of education yet

The nature of the exam is different. JAMB is one off, WAEC is a process. We should not throw writing to the dustbin yet. Yes you can type, but write first. Some top universities still use pen and paper for their exams even though Nigerians always think they are the best. Let them learn the foundation for life.

I've been seeing this video on my feed. Some people will be very happy with this. When it comes to bad examples, they love the saner climes. When it comes to good things for Africans, they go insane.

Saskay44:
See how wife's son is living life

His wife's son

Is there something you are trying to tell us or is it not his son? Or is it how bloggers lack vocabulary and repeat words and use redundant words to describe what they are gossiping about? He is living life, there is no way he can possibly live death.

meobizy:
Has he been laying bricks to maintain a living? Look at that arm. I didn't know he remarried. Something is wrong with people these days. One will leave a failed marriage only to jump into another. No break whatsoever.

Break for what exactly?

zero8zero:
You can't even cheat anymore, if you know it, you know it and if you don't know it, you don't know it. WAEC has vowed to copy the system for next year, expect mass failure in WAEC next year. But I kind of like it, these young guys will get more serious and less addicted to social media.

WAEC will be making a grave mistake copying it. Nigeria does not have the infrastructure nationwide yet.. It will once again show the backsides of our failed politicians who refused to fund education, they are more interested in physical structures than systemic structure. It's their failure that makes ASUU keep going on strike. I don't even want to talk about NEPA. Our leaders are not even showing good morals at the moment. Corruption is now normal, morally and financially.

papyjaypaul:
So you are okay with the corruption in the school system. You don't know the damage this does until you go outside the country. Every normal country should not have examination malpractice as the norm. If our exams cannot be trusted, we are in trouble. Come to think of it, if you pass JAMB that you say is credible and fail postUTME that may be compromised, what problem does it solve? Corruption is a monster and we should treat it before it swallows us at all levels.

By the way, I agree with you. CBT exams make the students study harder especially for a country like Nigeria where people want to cut corners, however we must consider that we don't have the infrastructure. Fix light, give us power, increase the number of centers. These are infrastructural things you don't face in normal countries but on the other hand, kids today can't write so you still need the traditional method of writing. I will suggest WAEC makes the option questions CBT and the other part physical writing. This is 2025, we should have a question bank that can give 100 different essay questions to combat cheating. Cheating is not a Nigerian thing, in Algeria or one of those countries, I think the government had to ban internet for the school exams. Where Nigeria is on cheating is like child's play compared to India

If JAMB doesn't tell us, we'll tell ourselves, Mnesoma or not. It doesn't make sense hiding it just because of that incident. It even calls the credibility of the examination board to question if they cannot disclose results. It's like INEC saying they won't say who won because another politician claimed he won.

I support any government that bans political spiritual leaders. They are a nuisance.

Tell us when we will have 24/7 electricity and which government will do that shaman

GoodLife4live:
i do not want obi...my opinion...

All these long episode are not in reality...
This is democracy...I don't believe in a liar

Democracy is about choices, freedom to choose not denial of people's choices

We must also be prepared to love and live the consequences of our choices. Whoever is elected must be ready to serve and give accountability because they're not doing us any favors. Criticism is part of the package.

DMerciful:
Obi will gerlt more support in 2027 than 2023 from the feelers I'm getting.

The youths knows that Obi has conquered greed and if there's corruption against him, the establishment would have brought it out be now. I really do not see someone that can take Obi's place in the Obidient movement atleast till 2027 because that would crash the momentum. We can't just start afresh

I don't know about that. He may get more votes but still not win. All the coalition happening today is actually good news. People don't understand. People are not going to Tinubu because he has power or he is powerful, they are going to Tinubu because that's where power is for now.

I have seen this happen to Obasanjo, Yar Adua, Jonathan and Buhari. Nigerian politicians are like ants. The worst thing you will have is sycophants around you because all they do is lie to please you. Normally, any serious candidate for the election should be ready by now, so I don't expect anyone to emerge in 2026 but you see what they are doing, it's plain stupid because once you gang up against one candidate, the choices are obvious. Expect more attacks. They are not seeing that people are tired of the same and the same. This regime, from 2023 is now so daring that they don't care anymore. From the legislator to executive and I am not ignoring Governors too. Our politicians are sitting on a keg of gunpowder, the money is still deceiving them that they have poverty votes under control.

Attention over gravity. Entertainmental business is not easy you have to keep working for attention.

DMerciful:
Obi continues to embodies everything the youth movement stands for.

2023 has taught us that the structures of criminality runs deep from INEC, the Police to the judiciary so we have to do things differently.

Those who abuse him really wished the youth movement that backed him were on their side. If they had the Obidient on their side, they would have been happy too, they are just being jealous. Obi walked into an opportunity of post Endsars sentiment and a youth population who got tired of the same. It could be anyone tomorrow. That anyone is what they are not calculating. Those they have captured are those they can buy. Nothing has changed in Nigeria election where the person with the money bag bags everything. One important phrase Obi had was "we no de give shishi". That phrase had the transformational ability to morph into an anti corruption crusade if he had won because when you read the analysis here, you see that the old ones are used to the system of cheating and corruption, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It is the fruit of their laborious youth that has made their own kids tired of the country they built and want to japa. They are not done yet, they want to finish it patapata. No principles, no ethos but they will abuse the young people tomorrow when they themselves could not show good examples and lay good foundation for their kids. At least, I give it to the Obidients for always asking questions, that's accountability that the others don't want and they know why.

Edit: Obi's emergence took all of them by surprise and I've been studying Nigerian politics for long time. Sowore would normally have gotten the attention of the youth and today, he keeps attacking him because all the years he campaigned for the youth, he didn't do well in the elections. For PDP, APC, none of them can lie that they expected him to go this far. Didn't they mock him? Two people tweeting from a room? Why haven't they stopped attacking him? Someone that came third is giving them more headache than Abubakar? We all know propaganda when we see one. What is happening today is history repeating itself, you'll have the President and the people's president. The president can use everything to buy everyone and the people's president is who the people choose. This is not about President Tinubu and Peter Obi.
