Anybody expecting Tinubu to play fair would have to be the biggest joke of the century.

Every sane Nigerian knows that 2027 will be war, not elections.

And it’s going to be an uphill task taking Tinubu out of power as incumbent but that’s what is going to make the victory sweeter.

For the one-millionth time, Tinubu will be smoked out of Aso Rock in 2027.

fergie001:
They want him to leave by himself.
Ofc, the new kingmaker is his former ally, Makinde.

Once that convention holds and a new National Chairman and National Secretary who are not under Wike’s armpit legally emerge, that will be the end of Wike’s power in PDP.

Or can he use his courts to scuttle things? We wait to see.

Mynd44:
Yimu. You cannot hide what you said or the intention behind it.

exactly, a non-Igbo person can't care about Igbo pupils as they hate them all is what you mean. There are building companies owned by Igbos all over the country and imagine people start saying they should be given contracts because they wont be passionate.

The first day I saw an Innosoon truck was was 2013 and then governor Fayemi bought those trucks while ignoring Lanre Shittu, did anyone cry? no

I have met the CEO of Sea Horse Lubrication, Ebuka Onunkwo and he said his products sell more outside the SE , imagine people saying only an Hausa man can be passionaye Hausa drivers and their trucks hence don't buy it.

And you are here defending your bigotry. Continue.

I don’t wish to go on a back and forth with you but I need you to understand that my point was that some projects due to their peculiarity should be best handled by someone who not only possesses the expertise but has same emotional attachment to it as whoever is awarding the project.

But if you choose to believe I was being bigotic, then I guess I can’t help you.

Mynd44:
If the tables are turned and I said this, all of us here will not rest for the next 21 market days.

You know what you are doing

I’m not trying to be tribalistic. I’m just saying that there are projects that should best be handled by an indigenous contractor while you outsource others.

Imagine Katsina governor wants to build smart Mosques in every ward, who do you think will be more passionate about the project and strive to deliver it as envisioned between an Igbo Christian from Enugu and a Muslim from Katsina?

Or imagine governor Lucky of Ondo State plans to embark on Cocoa regeneration project to make Southwest what it was in the times of Awolowo as regards Cocoa production, who do you think will be more emotionally attached to such project? A plant scientist from Kano or an Ondo indigene with verifiable history of delivering similar projects?

You know what I’m talking about, not that I have issues with the guy being Yoruba.

The MD of Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS) is a Yoruba man that previously worked with Channels Television, have you ever seen me express misgivings with his appointment?

The CSO to Abia governor is from Edo, have you seen me express reservations with his position?

IGBOPROMISE1:
I hope so too! There are many Igbo contractors that could have done a better job, and done it with passion too! The likes of Spyder that commented earlier on this thread is good at these sort of contracts, and there are many like him prepared to do the job! I suppose Mbah was looking for a ‘big name’ in the industry to avoid the exact same problems he’s now having to deal with!

But see what he was trying to avoid happening to him. What’s the essence now?

Neddstark:
And if indigenous contractors are used in other regions instead of Igbo contractors, you cry discrimination.

How many states in your region is using Igbo contractors?

seunmsg:
If this is all a disagreement over contract terms and conditions and if it is not the case of the contractor collecting money and not performing, then EFCC should stay out of it. Contractual disagreement should first go to arbitration as always provided in such contracts and if that fails, the aggrieved party should go to court instead of using state powers to intimidate the other party.

You are saying this because it’s an Ayodele that is involved.

I bet you would have had a different opinion if it was a Chukwuma that was implicated in this.

So you now know the law more than EFCC and can teach the agency the law and their job abi?

This country will not go anywhere if you lots continue to defend rubbish and bend the rules once it’s your kinsman that is involved.

So this guy is reason why the Enugu Smart Schools in every ward has not materialized as Peter Mbah envisioned it?

This is not tribalism but I blame Mbah. There are Igbo contractors who would have delivered that project without all this kind of drama that is happening now.

An Igbo contractor would have been passionate about the project and delivered it in the spirit of “Nkea-bu-nke-anyi”.

I hope he learns from this.

ezer:
The stat is wrong. Rivers is 13,750 for 12.5kg as at last week. A kg in Rivers is 1100

I guess we don’t have to trust anything from the so called NBS then.

Can someone explain to me why Rivers is part of the states that recorded the highest price at above N22,000 when NLNG (refiners of LPG) is located in Rivers?🤔

YoshiMaster:
That response by the guy I quoted sha, my goodness.

The guy even mentioned PRPTOCOL.

I wonder….

What PROTOCOL would dictate a governor fly over to wave goodbye to a president?

Aberrations on top aberrations.


Dude actually said PROTOCOL.

Meeeeen!

PROTOCOL?

God have mercy.

Lol! The thing pain you sha.

You have seen the characters you’re sharing country with na.

I guess we don’t need to wonder who votes APC anymore.

ayoolataiwo:
Shameless MF,they will wave goodbye in Nigeria and still welcome him abroad frm the same people.Wasteful,brainless,useless lots

Exactly what somebody said.

When they are done waving him goodbye here, they will then enter their plane (usually a chartered flight with public funds) and go and queue up in the country he’s going to also welcome him.

But somehow, you still see people defending them here.

NTA posted a picture of governors and a minister saying bye bye to Tinubu as he departed Abuja yesterday for his annual leave, and it has caused outrage online as people are questioning the significance of such practice.

What is most embarrassing is the manner at which they were waving at an already closed plane in a manner that is only comparable to what jobless children would do.

This is not opposition nor anything like it, I’m just sad at the degeneration my country is going through. Every right thinking Nigerian should be embarrassed and angry that governors who should be busy attending to the responsibilities they were elected to take charge of, would rather devote their time to a shameful venture as this one.

I pray Nigeria is saved, and soon.

Was it before or after he left his job in Lagos to go and say bye bye to Tinubu at Abuja airport?🤔

I couldn’t help but shudder at people’s fathers disgracing themselves.

ogmask:
You say wetin?
Wike boys collected 50k from me and my friend a few weeks back. I parted with the money because I wasn't ready to fight with agberos. Where u dey stay for PHC?

I’m not capping bro. And I’m sure you don’t expect me to give you my address on Nairaland.

But from Transamadi to Rumuodara, from Rumuola to CFC, from Garrison to Rumuokoro, from Rumukpokwu to Rumuibekwe, I can tell you what is obtainable at every corner.

You probably were made to part with 50k because you took one way. Cuz I’m sure you are talking about those boys that drive hilux with damaged front.

But you will agree with me that you will have no business with them as long as you keep to basic rules of the road. Which is unlike Lagos where touts run rampage.

Even the touts that collect money from drivers on the road are cultured. I’ve not seen them fighting any driver on the road nor even a scuffle. Unlike Lagos where fights between touts and drivers are daily routines.

If you have lived in Lagos you wouldn’t be arguing with me.

Ngwanu!

Let’s hope Southwest and Kano is enough to return Tinubu to power in 2027.

You think we are going to lose sleep because President of Kano has accepted to work for Tinubu?

Jokers!

CoronaVirusPro:
Just imagine!

Denying their members cos they are dead. Is that not same way they do everywhere around the country.

Everywhere is littered with touts. Road, market, and even land purchase.

Someone will just wake up on the morning and start asking for money from hardworking Nigerians, and the painful part is that, they are government backed.

I left Lagos for Port Harcourt sometimes this year and I can tell you that such rubbish is not obtainable in Port Harcourt.

Nor is it obtainable in Enugu and anywhere else in Southeast and Southsouth.

That madness is only obtainable in Lagos and Southwest. And now they want to export it to Abuja.

We are in 2025 but their letter is dated 2024.

If they can’t get even a simple letter correct, tell me how they will get even more serious things correct.

And talking about the touts, are they untouchable?

Na so una don fear MC Oluomo reach?

I like as residents are beginning to give them madness for madness.

He’s lying!

Before ever the coalition was announced, the werey don dey paste posters and billboards for re-election.

Third Mainland Bridge and some strategic junctions in Abuja saw hell in their hands.

So, blaming opposition for the reason he started campaigning early is a big fat lie that would only be believed by those who don’t think.

chopnaira:
You are funny.

Just last week, your fellow igbos were celebrating and jubilant on twitter when an Ogu girl tweeted that she was not Yoruba.

Today, an Ogu man was appointed as police spokesperson, and he has suddenly become Yoruba again.

Wonders.

And what did you say to her? Attack I guess.

Jokerman:
Please who knows what's happening to ShopRite at Ikeja City Mall? Are they in debt??

That place is a shadow of itself... Could not get anything from there- was so pissed.

Please what happening to the Nigerian Buyer?? Or are they leaving Nigeria?

Shoprite is dead and waiting to be buried.

What you are seeing is just a carcass.

They owed my company for a long time that we almost sued them.

But I heard some Lebanese guys are trying to buy it now.

BATified2023:
Tony elumelu hasn't been tested as governor but obi has been tested and ibos agreed he failed woefully

Where did Igbos agree?

President - Yoruba

IGP- Yoruba

Force Spokesman - Yoruba.

A clear break from tradition where IGPs appoint officers outside their region to make for balance. But we have irredentists who don’t care.

A government of the Yoruba, for the Yoruba and for the Yoruba.

NigerianAngelo:
Why don't the likes of Tony Elumelu come out for President?

nlfpmod

What can Tony Elumelu do that Peter Obi can’t?

Daniel Bwala, one of the Presidential Media Aides to Tinubu, has stated on Arise TV that Lagos State is a No Man’s Land and that’s why they didn’t include it in the infrastructure distribution chart that they drew up for Southwest.

I hope everyone can see it now before they say Igbos are the ones calling Lagos a No Man’s Land.

fergie001:
He can't get PDP ticket, he will be sabotaged from within.

Where will Obi get the ticket? My issue was hobnobbing with Abure in the night and fighting him in the day. Again, Atiku & Obi should take responsibility that they messed it all up in 2022, same as El-Rufai.

First, Obi will get a presidential ticket and be on the ballot in 2027. I don’t know which party yet, but he will be on the ballot.

Second, you will not blame Obi for leaving PDP in 2022. Atiku already had an agreement with PDP governors to choose a running mate from amongst them should he get the ticket to avoid a repeat of what happened in 2019. What did you expect Obi to do? Fold his hands?

You and I know that the only reason Obi is a factor today is because he did what he did in 2022/2023. Now, he’s a battle tested general with 6million votes bank and therefore can no longer be ignored in any political factoring.

fergie001:
He is very legally qualified.

Justice Dashen of the High Court in 2022 settled that, and if need be Keyamo can try in higher Courts. Though I don't think Jona has the ballssss...

I posted this from Ozekhome in 2022 (emphasis on the penultimate paragraph)
https://www.nairaland.com/7103340/ozekhome-goodluck-jonathan-eminently-constitutionally#112388129

Presidential Election in the North could be unpredictable with Buhari out of the picture, the storm is gathering.

The North, esp NW will likely go in one direction hence no division from the South.
Seyi is working for them, that's all.
So neither Obi, GEJ or any Southerner should puncture that. Tinubu needs at least 12/13 States in the South before he starts going to fight in the North. He doesn't want any mistakes whatsoever, especially in the SS.

You know these permutations yet you never seem to give Obi a chance.

If Obi gets PDP ticket or becomes candidate of the opposition and they get the NW to do a one way traffic voting for him, you know it’s game over for Tinubu. Add it to the fact that once the north decides where to vote, their votes are usually difficult to rig.

Lol!

They are warning Elrufai.

Final warning or what? You will arrest him?

Arresting Elrufai will be the worst mistake of APC. Because that’s what Elrufai wants and has been courting.

I pray they make the mistake.

..at that time girls were not desperate for money and Brazilian hair.. girls had intergity, dignity, self discipline,self control, self value, self esteem and contented with whatever they had

You are right.

This menace we have now was caused by Yahoo boys.
