All the yoruba leaders are telling tinubu the truth that he's a failure .

If your kinsmen are telling you that you've failed, then truly you have failed.

Well one thing I will give igbos is their unwavering support for their candidates . Don't drink water and drop cup with Fayemi . Before tomorrow morning , he might suddenly start singing thay Tinubu is the messiah . Politicians are generally shameless .

The day it became public knowledge that Charlie boy and some so called activists collect money to organize protests was the day he lost any credibility . He should also lose that bus stop name. Same as all these yeye politicians naming things after themselves.
What is actuly wrong g with this administration . Always renaming things up and down.

Atiku formed coalition, but APC is receiving defectors.


ADC --->>> Association of Disgraced Chumps.

Even Natasha has not joined them. Atiku has not registered. Obi hasn't. El Rufai hasn't. The distrust is mutual.

This reminds me of the coalition of nigerian youths vying for office in 2015 . It was the day I lost hope in nigerian youth leadership because they behaved exactly like our politicians . No idea of collective good and sacrifices for a greater nigeria . Sowore, fela durotoye, madam oby ,moghalu , obadiah etc . All the same . Selfish interest over national interest

Is there anything that stopped you and Jonathan from preventing Tinubu from removing the fuel subsidy? In truth and honesty when Jonathan wanted to remove fuel subsidy the whole nation North South East and West was on a stand still, totally against it. Tinubu alone couldn't have prevented the removal of subsidy if the masses were in support of it's removal.

Were the masses in support of it when Tinubu removed it ?

The issue I have with this is the selective amnesia by this guy . Goodluck wanted to remove subsidy over 10 years ago , guess one of the people who stopped him ? TINUBU . Who helped the calamity , baboon blooded general grab power ? Tinubu . Who sat quietly watching Buhari fail woefully because he was waiting for his turn as Emilokan ? Tinubu .
Suddenly he is next best thing after fried rice . He is doing all the things he prevented Jonathan from doing and quietly watched Buhari destroy . So technically Tinubu allowed Nigeria get worse for 10 years in order to become president then claim to be a genius in fixing it ? No way .

Lmao. All these dishonest leaders singing accolades of one another . What did you Osinbanjo do with Tradermoni and market moni during 2019 election ? I have lost faith in all of our politicians.
When you guys made billionaires of yourselves by round tripping dollars with he huge gap between official fx rates and black market , you kept quiet. People stole recklessly during Buhari's time yet somehow osinbanjo feels that is part of good service to Nigerians? Very shameful .

Without northeast vote Obi outperformed Atiku

Atiku's northern votes were diluted by Buhari's endorsement of Tinubu . Obi had no dilution of his south east votes . To me Atiku outperformed obi . That doesnt take away from the impressive outing by Obi

Eriokanmi:
Not true. We voted obi massively in lagos. Lagos election was marred with violence, harassment, ballot box snatching cash inducement of voters,and ultimately, rigging by the apc. The result caught them by surprise and that's the proof of Tinubu's popularity in lagos, despite the rigging. We know him very well here. He may tell outsiders sweet things about developing lagos but not us who knew when he entered politics from 93 till date.

Are you saying lagos too was rigged for obi? I rep alimosho. Our LGA has the largest population of yoruba in Nigeria. We cast our vote for obi. Tell me how is rigging possible in a yoruba-dominated area for an ibo man. People overwhelming voted obi except in the core north. Had inec not rescued tinubu, he lost that election. You'll hear more from Elrufai, who begged inec boss who's his tribesman to rescue tinubu. As 2027 approaches, you'd hear more

Quite a number of Yorubas voted for obi . I am yoruba and I voted for Obi . It pains me when people especially igbos accuse me of voting Tinubu . Now I dont like obi anymore . Why ? He has done NOTHING with the wins we gave LP . It reeks of lack of leadership.

Of course true lagosians know that man is holding back Lagos true potential . But honestly Lagos was rigged. The margin of Obi would have been much larger in Lagos if there was no rigging, vote buying and voter suppression . I also saw videos during the elections from the east preventing non obi voters from voting . INEC also disenfranchised a lot of Nigerians . NYSC INEC adhoc staff all refused to continue in my polling unit after 12 midnight . And we had hundreds if not thousands left to vote .

My point still stands though. Anything out of El rufai's mouth is shit to me . He is a colossal liar who will do anything for power.

Lastly I have to thank you for the civility in this discussion. You put out your points without insult which has become a rarity on Nairaland

You people paying for DSTV will now experience truly mind controlling propaganda.

This was my first thought . The French are not known for being nice to Africans. I hope they do business with profit in mind and not political propaganda

OBI who was virtually an independent candidate with zero structure and zero agents was able to pull 6.1 million. Atiku despite being in a major party which had up to 10 PDP governors, numerous senators and house Rep members backing him only pulled 6.9 million votes.

Anyone with even basic understanding of how Nigerian elections work, knows that OBI out performed Atiku in that election.

Ermmm, obi took away the igbo votes from PDP. Elections was rigged for Obi in the south east same as for Tinubu in the west and Atiku in the north .
That Obi outperformed Atiku is reaching. Nigerian politics is always about the numbers . Without the SE votes , Atiku outperformed Obi

Putindbutt:
Paul Ibe, the Special Adviser on Media to the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has reacted after one of the top members of the Obidient Movement, Morris Monye said Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi got 6 million votes in the last presidential election.

Paul Ibe's statement was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

In the post that Morris Monye shared on his page, he said despite having the structure of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar polled the same votes with Peter Obi who didn't have structure.

Here is what Morris Monye wrote on his official X handle;

"INEC announced 6 million votes for Atiku, 6 million votes for Peter Obi. Atiku had the entire PDP machinery and structure. Peter Obi had little or no party agents nor structure".

However, Paul Ibe has now shared his thoughts after the report surfaced online. In a post that he shared on his official X handle, he tackled Morris Monye for reducing the number of votes that Atiku Abubakar polled in the last election.

Paul Ibe took to his X handle and replied:

"Dear Morris, facts don't lie. You can round up 6.1m to 6m but it is disingenuous to round up 6.9m to 6m".

Morris learnt lying from the master himself . See scope . The same way they say obi won but can't prove it . Irev has all the data . Show us the discrepancies . No. Na to dey lie up and down like politicians .

However Obi's tally came quite close to Atiku . With Buhari zombie supporters up for the taking and the threat of this coalition ( if they get their acts together ) , Tinubu will struggle to win in 2027

The mother has no right to call off the engagement. At best, she can advise the daughter.

PS: I'm not condoning what the man did in any way. It's best it was probably called off. But the mother wasn't in her right.

She has every right . Traditionally and even in the bible , Parents MUST approve before marriage can hold . Forget all those American movies and their lack of culture . Thats one of the reasons why divorce rates are high over there . She took away her approval . If the daughter likes she can go ahead and marry but her family will not be there . Simple

Why are our politicians like this ? Like why ? This is so stupid . They should rename Nigeria to Tinubustan since renaming everything is what motivates them

Otiwaikuku:
Pls have you verified how much he left in 3 different banks for the sate both in dollars and Naira?
Obiano can say anything he likes and you guys are free to believe whatever you wish.No one is talking about Obiano that is the immediate pass governor.Ask yourself why is Peter Obi's name still ringing bells years after he left office?
Pls he Peter Obi threw an open challenge to us ,that if one can find anywhere he stool/looted fund from the state/ government that he should religuish his presidential ambition.Abi you no dey hear English ABI you be defy and dumb?

Lmao. You are funny . I can show you at least 10 ways to steal money as an office holder or corrupt practices that are untraceable to you. For crying out loud , Tinubu can say the same thing and noone will be able to talk . Does that mean he is a saint ?

Ok we have heard . You are pure and incorruptible. You have never stolen from Government. That doesnt mean you have leadership qualities. It is means the Pandora matter is a cooked up expose . You don’t evade tax.
Share the message. Do photo ops in front of the classrooms . Keep up the saint image.

Kerbed? Thought islam prohibits decoration of grave sites . Please a Muslim should correct me if I am wrong . This life ALL na vanity . See kerbs like roundabout. There lies a man who had control over 200 million peoples' lives .

I see the near collapse of PDP . PDP will become a shell with zero consequential politicians in it . However PDP is a party with great structures which in the hands of wike can be a big thorn in the flesh of ADC.

agentNija:
I haven't seen a greedy man like Atiku all my life. Imagine contesting for presidential election since 1993?

He is not greedy . He is persistent . That is a man with ambition. Buhari was also a serial contestant and he final made it . He died an ex president of Nigeria

Desperado!! How many parties now ? Obi just align with him as his vice . Not that I see any improvement happening if they win . ALL Nigerian politicians are the same OBI inclusive.

Mabuggi88:
Bros he said the truth. Obi can not win alone in 2027, it will be very very difficult. Like he said his best bet is to deputize Atiku and they will win flawlessly barring any rigging from the rigging master himself.

For those quoting me, Yes, Atiku can win alone. In fact that was the essence of the OP creating this thread, according to him what he saw shows the North are behind Atiku.

A big question is this. Can atiku win without the SE and SW ? Can the NE and NW and maybe the NC sufficiently win the presidency? The math's shows otherwise . It will be impossible without someone like obi coming on board . I keep saying this . The only way Tinubu can be defeated is with Atiku -Obi.

These guys are crazy! In as much as I dont like some of Dangote's tendencies I cannot overlook the unusual greed we have in nigeria and the pockets of cabals in different sectors . If we can buy it cheaper why are the marketers not selling cheaper ? They form cabals and call themselves "marketers" ! Feeding large and crying crocodile tears when a bigger monopoly wants to spoil their greed.

adem30:
It's obvious that these GenZ are absolutely senseless. A former president both in Military and 8yrs as elected president died at the age of 82years and you think you are mocking him?
He has lived a fulfilled life.
If he happens to be a yoruba man, the kind of owannbe party go choke.
You need to think of your life instead of these rubbush

This is why I laugh when people talk about karma . Buhari, with his incompetence and inactions that led to the death of several nigerias Young and old ,died after a long fulfilled life . Died in a London hospital . He left riches for his kids to last at least 2 generations .

BUHARI ! May God judge you according to how your ruled Nigeria . May you rest in peace or in eternal torment based on God's final judgement on you

Not all parents are to be blamed. They were raised that way and just believe that is how to raise a child . They didnt have internet or great sources of information to help with child upbringing. WhenYou have your own kids , you will do somethings as a parent and suddenly realize you are acting exactly like your parents . You have to consciously break the cycle .

Sorry . Try to sit with them and discuss those things with them . Even if they are unrepentant , they will know what you think of their past actions

bobonla:
The way APC will lose presidential election come 2027 eeeh will need to be study

Greatest mistake was letting tinubu win in 2023 . You will see INEC miracle in 2027.
Someone fought his own party and the president with the CBN governor yet he still won with some compromises from INEC ( they promised electronic transmission and failed ) . Now he has access to the full power of the country . For goodness sake He suspended a sitting governor and got away with it .
Honestly I blame Atiku and Obi for not collaborating to prevent Tinubu from getting there .

Photos and videos of the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi sharing food at an event in Umuchima, Ideato South LGA (Imo West Senatorial Zone) yesterday was the trending topic.

The event was organised in honour of Rev. Fr. Prof Maurice Emelu who is the Founder, Gratia Vobis Ministries INC USA and it was also his 50th birthday and 20th Anniversary.

The mission of hope is partly inspired by the Pope's call for this year (2025) as the Jubilee of Hope. It is a season where roles are reversed, that is the duty of the highs serving the lows.

A conventional act in catholicism and catholic doctrines. It is a divine ritual for those who have trade in the business of hope, humanity & balance.

Imo West Senator, Osita Izunaso was also seen serving food at the same event.

So na only food they can serve abi ? Why not wash people's cars or wash their plates and clothes or clean refuse dumps in service to the community .

Make e no be like I too dey complain sha , serving of food to the lowly too no bad as longbas e no turn campaign material... Oops seems it has 🤣

Celestialsword:
Being a virgin is just one percent of what keeps a marriage.

This thing is over hyped by the society, although it's a virtue but it doesn't guarantee a good and happy marriage.

Same thing with having money . The saying that money is what fuels relationships/marriages is another big lie . I have seen more average/poor families happier and bonded than wealthy families . Nothing is greater in marriage than mutual respect and kindness towards one another. I believe love is a combination of both respect and kindness .

givedemwotowoto:
Wrong. Both Peter Obi and/or Atiku will defeat Tinubu at the polls, but Peter Obi has a higher chance of defeating Tinubu than Atiku.

Peter Obi defeated Tinubu in a 3-horse race in 2023 and will defeat him again in 2027.

Present the facts that Obi defeated Tinubu in 2023. Let's stop being sentimental . Tinubu won because Atiku and Obi decided not to band together to win the election.

Obi has zilch chances of defeating Tinubu as the presidential flag bearer . The honest truth is that the North do not like the easterners . Tell me a core northern state that Obi won or had good numbers in the last election.

I have come to understand what Tinubu is trying to do . However I still don't like him . The truth is if atiku and obi work together and wins, the north gets another chance of ruling for12 years out of 16. They already have an unhealthy belief that that own this country. And it shows in the way they have looted this country.

If Tinubu wants to really help this country , he should use this window to return nigeria to true federalism in the upcoming constitutional review .

The reason the world is wicked is because the creator itself is a wicked malevolent being. The creator is not a good God as the religious books portray.

God is good . The knowledge of good and evil is in man after the fall . Free will is ability to choose between good or evil . He destroyed the world and a city once because of Evil. He has said he will not destroy the world again except with fire . The fall also brought about the degradation of the body with age and diseases.
The world is wicked because some people chose evil over good . Do bad things happen to people ? Yes. But it is mostly because of man
