owobokiri: I have always said it here that while northerners always crave for power, I consider most of them to be more understanding of the political dynamics of the Nigerian federation when compared with our South Western neighbors. If you're able to isolate the ideologically perverted types like Buhari and Kwankwaso and deal with the likes of Datti, Gwadebe or even Babangida, you can achieve some positive results..
Compare that to the megalomaniac desperation for power that's Tinupoos wreckless presidential pursuit since 2007! Can you believe that in 2007, with Obasanjo handing over to Yaradua after 8 solid years of a Yoruba presidency, Tinubu was still angling to be Atiku Abubakars running mate!? Tone deaf! That is how daft and dense the Agbadorian political clan of the South West can be.
They actually think that this is another Oyo empire! From Abiola to Tinubu, we have heard statements like "I don't need the support of the igbos" and "I don't need to campaign there"! "You will get a wet slice of bread".. All during the campaign season! Very volatile political outbursts coming from a re-tarded hegemonic culture, brandishing a brand masculinity that can never be backed up with any inventive displays, either in politics, academia or business..
Pure nonsense!
Tinubu is living in his own bubbles.
I think he has a false impression of his popularity.
Igba123: go to bank on Wednesday morning and withdraw your money and you can be sure the bank is not going to give you the old notes. Somebody will bring some money to me on Sunday 29th and I am sure it will be old notes which will make me spend hours in the bank on Monday but I am not complaining. What difference will it make if it's extended by 30 more days? Is it more than still walking to your bank with the old notes provided it doesn't exceed the amount required in law for an individual to carry cash. You can't take 5m cash to the bank without explaining how you came about it. Those complaining against cbn are involved in money laundering, don't join them unless you're like them.
God bless you for this!
Isn’t it surprising that politicians are the ones complaining on our behalf for the first time ever?
But as usual, they are hiding under fighting for the people, and some gullible people are falling for it.
The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele has insisted that there’s no extension to the deadline of the withdrawal of the old naira notes as he argued that 100 days was enough for anyone with any amount of money to have deposited it in the back.
Bad news for election riggers and those who want to buy voters and INEC officials with money.
God1000: Good, using local language is the way to go.
It’s a fantastic thing he did right there.
One of the hopes of Tinubu urchins is that nobody knows Labour Party logo in the north. So I like that he made a video explaining, in Hausa, how northerners will be able to identify the Labour Party logo and vote appropriately.
The next thing is to make sure that the video goes viral on all Northern media platforms and influencers.
The job to rescue Nigeria is a job that must be done.
AustineE1: Better words has never been spoken,you trashed the ethnic bigot from every corner. They have tried everyway possible to reduce this election to their usual tribal battle but we Nigerians of every tribe are now wiser and they more this Tinubu urchins try to reduce the campaign to an ethnic war the more well meaning Nigerians are distancing from them.In other words this 'format no longer works'. Hunger and insecurity knows no boundry or tribe in Nigeria,we are all victims of the same maladministration. A new Nigeria is possible.
Don’t mind the merchants of propaganda and ethnic bigotry.
Amaechi defected to another party and worked for his party against his enemies who called themselves his brothers and won. Is that what you call betrayal? So he should have worked for Jonathan while in APC right? You are sounding funny now.
Brother ko,brother ni. Anyone plotting your downfall is not a brother but an enemy.
While will Amaechi be harassed , intimidated,and disrespected by patience Jonathan? While will a woman jump to snatch microphone from a governor in public and countered is development speech? The same waterfront that started this sqabble and meddlesomeness by Madam patience has be destroyed by Wike. Why didn't she go there and harass Wike,make wike deal with her.
Is it because Amaechi is calm,try those shits with Nyesom wike and know what it means to dare a governor
The question is, did he need to defect?
Amaechi won the battle of 2015 but lost the war which culminated in his humiliation in the APC Presidential Primaries.
The only thing he gained from that entire fight which cost him his popularity back home, is a ministerial position. Are you saying PDP wouldn’t have been able to offer him Ministerial Position if he remained in the party?
The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has demonstrated in Hausa, how to vote for Labour Party.
Some supporters of opposition parties candidates have been asking what Datti is doing in the north and have sometimes speculated that he has abandoned the Labour Party Presidential ticket. But the recent outings of Labour Party in Kaduna and Kano have shut all their mouths.
Pierocash: read my comment properly,I never in my comment accuse them of such,I said inner source which may be true or not.
That is not the point. How did Amaechi betray Jonathan like many of you have been insinuating? You haven't in any way defended that claim,rather trying to digress the conversation.
Their was internal tussle and power play from Jonathan's camp led by the first lady to unsit ,and disgrace Amaechi,which led to his defection after his suspension.
How did Amaechi betray Jonathan as many of you have been claiming?
I’m not digressing, I just needed to clear that malicious insinuation of yours.
The fight between PEJ and Amaechi was never about Rivers coffers, PEJ had more resources at her disposal to care about Rivers finances.
No one really knows the bone of contention but if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say it is most probably linked to the choice of Amaechi successor in Rivers. Patience wanted Wike but Amaechi wanted Peterside.
Now, back to how Amaechi betrayed GEJ…
If your brother leaves you and supports your opponent in a contest, what do you call it?
And you are surprised why Peter Obi seems to be like a Christian project?
APC ran, and is still running, a jihadist government.
They went on a killing spree on Christian dominated areas and abduction and killing of Christian clerics.
In all these, not a single Imam has ever been killed except the one who spoke against them.
Yet, you are a Christian and you are supporting a Muslim Muslim ticket or for a Muslim to succeed a Muslim, I would say you are not a Christian but a big fool.
Pierocash: stop talking like you don't understand Nigeria brand of politics under PDP.
The problem started from when the first lady then madam Patience Jonathan started to fight Amaechi,which inner source makes us to understand that is was due to his refusal to keep sharing the state resources to them just like Odili did. Patience meddlesomeness was so irritating that Amaechi had to take his stand and refused them taking control of his state. Instead of Jonathan to call his men and wife to order,he looked the other way and instead they plotted to remove him.
The problem Amaechi faced was same problem Obi had with the Anambra godfathers then. Wike has insulted buhari from day one yet,on no account did any one from the presidency tried to remove him,but that is the shit they were throwing at Amaechi.
Amaechi fought like a lion and conquered them hence the pain. They keep crying "Amaechi betrayed Jonathan". Useless mofos,so Amaechi should fold his hand and watch them destroy him. Wike even boasted that when Gej wins,they will jail Amaechi. But God failed them , Amaechi defeated them roundly
It’s good you know that the fight started because of a disagreement between Amaechi and Patience Jonathan.
But it is so malicious of you to allude the fight to Amaechi not allowing Patience access to Rivers treasury. You even went ahead to claim that that’s how Peter Odili did it.
Sorry, who was Jonathan and Patience when Peter Odili was Peter Odili? Are you alright at all? Or you guys just make spurious claims for the sake of argument while hoping that the person you are talking to doesn’t know?
After Obasanjo, Peter Odili was the strongest and most popular Politician from southern Nigeria and he was going to win the PDP Presidential Primaries in 2007 until Obasanjo threw the Yaradua joker.
After Odili failed to get the PDP Presidential ticket, it was taken for granted that he would be running mate to Yaradua but Obasanjo struck again and threw in the Jonathan joker by instructing Yaradua to announce Jonathan as his running mate.
That was the introduction of Jonathan to national politics, at which time Odili was already concluding his 8 years as Rivers governor.
garfield1: Check those people shouting,they are less thsn 10 and always in a particular spot.is it not obvious that they are hirelings? How come the camera captures them exactly at that spot? Oga use your head na... How many local candidates are campaigning for obi
If they were hirelings, why wasn’t the voice of the majority of others who were not hired louder than the voice of the ten people?
Chocoloco: So guys yesterday I went to this new brothel that just ooopen around my area, after taking my stout I say make I enter nakana but to my surprise all I saw there was little girls of just 15 to 17 omo I shock.
I called one asked her where she's from she said akwa ibom and her madam brought her there to work this girl is just 15 omo i weak comot from the place...
Just like before Anambra guber election that APC bought every living soul in Anambra including a sitting deputy governor and got them to defect but they still came third, same way would it be this time; but even worse this time around.
APC will not see 5% of votes cast in Ebonyi and Imo that have APC sitting governors not to talk of Enugu where the party non-existent.
The problem with these non Igbo fools is that they think Igbos pander to big people. We don’t; especially if you are not respecting yourself or aligning with our interest.
Down here, we set agenda for politicians, not politicians setting agenda for us.
mrvitalis: I supported obi from day one but still had my doubts , but immediately I saw Dele farotimi ( hope I got the name ) I knew obi was the right choice
You don't convince someone like Dele if you are not smart
That convinced me 110% with a 10% marginal error that obi is the right Candidate
Exactly!
Dele Farotimi is a very cocky character that is so full of himself and never believes anyone is right.
It will do The Nation no good to continue to deceive Tinubu.
When did Buhari say that Tinubu is the incoming president?
Buhari that couldn’t talk at the campaign ground after the gods deliberately spoilt the sound system to prevent him from lying to gullible Bauchi voters?
Oh! At Emir’s Palace? Then why is Tinubu newspaper the one announcing it and not the mouthpiece of the president?
Jokers!
Buhari is Tinubu’s biggest enemy in the upcoming election.
Whenever we see pictures from APC rallies in the north, the first thing I always notice is the absence of Tinubu pictures or campaign paraphernalia at the campaign ground which has always made me postulate, correctly, that these guys gather for the local candidates and not for Tinubu but Moh247, Garfield1, Ihordspy, Sapele914 and co will say I don’t know what I’m saying.
But on a daily, receipts keep coming from the north that prove me right.
[quote author= post=120327126]I saw the video, desperate idiot, they are trying to reduce Obi's bloc votes in South-east and South-South[/quote]That’s their only response right now.
Having seen the people’s resolve to vote Obi, and that they cannot rig it, their only game plan is to disrupt the elections and scare voters from coming out to vote.
Pierocash: yes,the problem started and suspending him was one of the ways of taking him down,after that,they wanted to move for his impeachment ,get him arrested ,and jail him. Defecting was the wisest thing he did. Men like Tinubu,Buhari ,and other bigwigs in the opposition stood by him and defended him . That twarted everything they plotted against him. If he hadn't defected,they would have disgraced him for just trying to question the meddlesomeness of the first lady then into the governance of his state.
The question is,how did Amaechi betray his brother Jonathan as always been portrayed by this mofos and wailers? Instead it was the other way round. But this enemies of good governance keep shouting Amaechi "betrayed his brother". How?
Would they have suspended Amaechi if he had not started fighting Jonathan?
