. I think the window is still open for parties to field candidates

Only for state elections (House of Assembly and governorship).

National Assembly window is over.

AdiscoPele:
I have decided to post yhis here so the so called CAN and gods of men who has been saying the Bishops that attended Shettima's unveiling were fake. Are this ones also fake?
Nigerians beware of ipob propaganda and ferocious attitude towards the coming elections.

So where’s the coalitions?

Fa fa fa fowl!

I wish these guys can just understand that any Igbo man that promises them votes is a scammer.

Southeast and Southsouth are locked down for Peter Obi already.

Caveat emptor!

Supported.

Not like it’s such a difficult thing to do.

kcmichael:
see una, umahi will context in new primary and win and win also in senate seat. umahi is the best performing governor in south east , his only sin is that he joined apc

Read, una no go gree.

The court ordered APC to organize the primary to ‘ratify’ the woman’s candidacy.

There would be no new contest.

More like Oyedepo condemns Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Living Faith Worldwide, gone.

But did Atiku lie?

garfield1:
Nobody was mentioning buhari in rivers

Well, Tinubu will be worst.

oooabbeyooo:
Gov Peter Obi,s achievement was payment of salaries & pensions, purchase of laptop for school children, creation of government farms. He didn't do much in terms of infrastructure.

Gov Oyetola did not do much infrastructure development in Osun and he did not achieve much except payment of salaries in Osun, couldn't even clear backlog, reason he lost elections coupled with the crisis he had with former Gov Aregbesola.

Gov Soludo,s move to borrow N100b for infrastructure development is a brilliant move. Infrastructure drives the economy and I believe in 30 years time the people of Anambra will remember the Gov and thank him for his leadership prowess.

Gov Fayemi of Ekiti State borrowed so much and was able to put in place a cargo airport, first of its kind in the State, with the promise that the state will now have the opportunity to transport her agricultural produce to the country to increase the IGR. We expect government owned farms to come on board too to actualise this dream since the economic mainstay is education and agriculture.

Borrowing for infrastructural development is a great leadership prowess. This should be matched with critical and strategic prioritization. Imagine PMB borrowing N36t ($75b) in 8 years to build a new single-train refinery to refine 650,000barrel/day and produce 50m ltrs of petrol daily for Nigerians like Dangote Refinery and ramp up power generation from 3.5GW to 30GW. This will bring relief to Naira and make it stronger against the Dollar. The country will also stop importation of petrol and the government may remove subsidy to have more revenue accrual. Also there will be electricity provided for the industries by the government which will reduce and eliminate the use of diesel-powered generator for operations and inturn reduce the cost of production. Steady electricity will also reduce data cost by 65% because diesel powered electricity generation accounts for 65% of data cost. All these put together will drive the economy by reducing cost of production and inturn reduce inflation rate, increase money supply to the government and inturn reduce interest rate and reduce exchange rate.

Compare these with building railways and bridges with N36t ($75b) in 8 years. Mass interstate transport is good for the economy but the impact isn't as significant as providing a Refinery and steady electricity for an economy like ours at this stage. That is the reason PMB still maintains that his government has done more in terms of infrastructure than the past administrations. That's true because he borrowed so much!

PMB would have solved a lot of the economic problem we have if he was able to prioritize the challenges properly. He made available so much money ($75b) but didn't use it effectively and the result is debt burden. Pretty soon we may be talking about bailout at the national level as we will be battling dwindling revenue at State level (hardship) because of NNPC Ltd.

My conclusion is borrowing can amount to a brilliant idea when deployed critically and strategically!

Brilliant postulations!

Like you said, it boils down priority.

But I don’t think Fayemi borrowing to build Cargo Airport in Ekiti is such a brilliant idea. Does Ekiti need an airport, Cargo or passenger? Just like Ebonyi doesn’t need an Airport. Can Ekiti feed the airport? Do they produce enough Agricultural products for their own consumption before we talk of export?

But I agree with you that if Buhari govt had deployed the billions they are using to build rail line from Kano to Maradi into the Power Sector, maybe Grid Collapse won’t be like a girl’s monthly period now.

But trust me, Peter Obi did what Anambra needed when he was governor. He got his priorities right. That’s why Anambra people revere him.

Fuckyoumod:
I was in Rivers state last week, before I traveled to the U.K.

Honestly, nobody is even talking about Tinubu or want to hear anything Tinubu, because of his MM ticket.
Believe it or not, Tinubu can not win any south south state. I can bet my last kobo.

I don't know about the east, so how would he win with south west vote alone?

Tinubu can't win Northern vote against the Atiku we know. Excerpt there is a plan B, which is not else but rigging.

Lol! This is the reality on ground that Tinubu urchins don’t like to admit.

garfield1:
You lie.okorocha actually was leading.he had 99,000 while onyereri had 66,000.he won 9 out of 12,000.cancelled votes were over 40_000.the returning officer instead of declaring a suoplemantart poll in orlu wanted to go and declare it in owerri.fearing another betrayal like it happened during apc congress and primary, rochas had to use force.the high court ordered inec to issue rochas return certificate.inec never appealed

Whatever the details are, the LCM is that Okorocha obtained his victory under duress and not through popular ballot.

fergie001:
There are so many Court Orders flying now..... But las las, na PDP State. Infact, the last one says don't publish any name.

I was telling garfield1 that Otti's biggest mistake was defecting, even LP now won't save him. He is from Abia N, same as Greg Ibe in APGA. Nobody wants to step down, hence they will eventually share votes.

Again, he is from Aro and picked his Deputy from Ohafia, the same Federal Constituency ooooooo. Just like someone contesting Ebonyi Gov from Afikpo North, then picks Deputy from Afikpo South. What is that supposed to mean?

Only a non Igbo will argue that defection to APC did not hurt Alex Otti.

Honestly, I am still wondering the person that gave him such advise. Or is it that he has no strategists?

Now, you are saying he picked someone from same federal constituency as running mate instead of looking for a popular person at Ngwa side.

Be like the man no really get sense las las.

famouscargo4u:
Did you know the properties were acquired long before he became a senator talk less if being a governor?

So Tinubu bought a house for his daughters that were born in 1992 and 1989 in 1980s way before they were born?

Do you even know when Tinubu was elected a senator?

Sammy07:
Aregbesola performed well in Osun, there's no Osun indigenes that'll say otherwise. They were only against his Policies

There's almost no Ogun Indigenes except his loyalist that praises Dapo Abiodun.

Last there's almost no south west governor that didn't perform

Name them from Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo.

Unlike you, tell me how a sane person will vote Ikpeazu for 2nd term? Hope you know his also going for Senate?

Tell me how a sane person will continue to vote for the Orjis to the Senate despite being a failure in govt. And his son is also House of Rep speaker.


The Likes of Orjis or Ikpeazu cannot win 2nd term or Senate in States like Ondo or Oyo state.

Aregbesola’s deficiency in office was not only his policies.

Have you forgotten how Nigerians were making donations for Osun Civil Servants some of whom started committing suicide after they were owed over 30 months salary?

LordVoldermort:
Let's look at it this way, which leaders do Igbos not hate?

Even before independence there's this strong hatred Igbos have for authorities and order, every leader is bad to an Igbo man, even when they do bad things for the good of the community they are still bad, the only leaders that are considered good are those who attack the authority who promote lawlessness.

Peter Obi was a nobody few months back but lately he's a hero why because in Igbos he is anti establishment not necessarily because he is a good leader, Okorocha would have received the exact praise if he was running on the same platform.

Just take a look at yourself…

What lawlessness did Azikiwe promote?

What lawlessness did Michael Okpara promote?

What lawlessness did Sam Mbakwe promote?

What lawlessness did Alex Ekwueme promote?

What lawlessness did Sullivan Chime (he’s even in APC) promote?

These are revered former Igbo political leaders, loved by Igbos across board because of their demonstration of capacity in service.

Talking about Igbos supporting Peter Obi for being against the establishment, what’s wrong about it? Would they be the first?

Americans got tired of the establishment and voted Trump.

French people got tired of the establishment and voted Macron.

Ukrainians got tired of the establishment and voted a comedian.

El Salvadorians got tired of the establishment and voted for Nayib Bukele, an outsider.

How many do you want me to count?

So what’s wrong in Igbos supporting someone who is against the establishment that has failed woefully in harnessing the potential of Nigeria?

Or are you happy with the state of Nigeria today?

TrueNigerian300:
You guys deceive yourself a lot...who were the fools supporting Stella during her corruption saga shouting she is our daughter??
You guys hate Orji and Okorocha yet you voted them to represent you in the senate. Think for a second is that not stupidity

When your foolish Kanu was running his mouth with all kind of hatred against other tribes how many people Igbos said he must be removed from facebook or other social media? Reno dished you guys half of what Kanu the fool did you all call for his head.

Okorocha and his boys pointed a gun at INEC returning officer to declare him winner after it was obvious he lost.

The returning officer fearing for his life declared him as winner and went to INEC State Headquarters to make report that Okorocha and his boys forced him to to declare him.

INEC took Okorocha to court and asked the courts to nullify Okorocha’s victory which he obtained under duress.

I think the High Court nullified Okorocha’s victory but Appeal Court ruled in his favour. That’s how Okorocha became a Senator in Imo State. Fergie001 and Garfield1 will tell you about the case better.

About OUK, his case is like that of James Ibori who stole from the people and has maintained popularity with the people by giving them back what he stole from them.

Because of stipends he gives to them, OUK has continued to retain some popularity amongst his people of Abia North. But that hasn’t saved him from being held in disdain by the generality of Igbos.

Now, I have answered you, can you now tell us which ones you people dislike because they are corrupt?

Even northerners do not protect their corrupt ones like that.

Ganduje lost Kano state after he was captured on camera stuffing dollars in his Babaringa. If APC didn’t use remote control on INEC, Ganduje wouldn’t be the governor of Kano today.

Buhari kept winning elections across the north because the northerners see him as incorruptible.

Northerners never seemed to like Atiku because they perceive him as corrupt.

Only in the Southwest is known corrupt man with questionable source of wealth being worshipped and elevated almost to the state of a god.

KingLarry04:
Seen, you guys are idiots, show us PO’s properties too, abi im no buy property?

Look at us digging Tinubu’s dirts out.

That’s what you should do too.

Dig up Peter Obi’s dirts if you find any.

Get to work.

fk001:
OBI is not a Saint you can't brainwash us to vote for him claiming he is competent while we know the real motive

What’s the real motive?

Got into argument with a Tinubu supporter who dubiously said that one day Igbos will start supporting Ikpeazu for presidency because he’s Igbo.

And I reminded him that 16 years after Orji Uzor Kalu finished as Abia Governor, Igbos never cease to lambast him whenever they can because we believe he failed in Abia. That’s why we didn’t lose sleep when he was jailed.

7 years after his time as Imo governor, Igbos form the greatest critics of Okorocha . Because he failed in Imo. Reason we didn’t lose sleep when EFCC was manhandling him.

7 years after his time as Abia Governor, Theodore Orji cannot show his face in public because Igbos will eat him raw.

In 2015, Ikpeazu lost Abia but Theodore Orji used his influence as former INEC Commissioner to get him declared and that was how Alex Otti was denied his mandate.

7 years into his time as governor of Abia and Igbos are the fiercest critics of Ikpeazu.

Willie Obiano, despite his sterling performance in Anambra, when compared to other governors in Nigeria, was never spared of constant criticism by Ndi Anambra and Igbos in general because we believed his performance was below par when compared to the performance of the man he succeeded.

Governor Ugwuanyi of Enugu state, despite his humane nature, prompt payment of salary, not plunging the state into debts, still dey collect am woto woto for our hand. In fact some of us call him “Madam Ugwuanyi” because we believe his performance is below par.

Talking about Hope Uzodimma of Imo State would be an overkill.


But not so with most of our Yoruba brothers .

Despite Aregbesola plunging Osun state into the worst economic crisis ever suffered by any state in Nigeria, these people still supported and defended him.

Despite Dapo Dagboru of Ogun State practically doing nothing for over 3 years now, they still support him.

Despite Tinubu’s many glaring atrocities, he’s their lord and saviour.

The only time they hate you is if you go against Tinubu like they hated Fashola, still hates Ambode and Osinbajo for daring to go against Tinubu.

So, which Yoruba politicians do Yorubas genuinely hate for being inept or for being corrupt?

This AGoF bribe scandal be like Zee World.

Extraordinary Everyday

E go later be like Abacha loot wey no dey finish.

This shit is sounding like crap.

I see the hand of Tinubu in the recent rise of SDP in the Southsouth.

The idea is to likely use popular guber candidates in Southsouth states to curry the people who would now be told to vote SDP in guber elections and Tinubu in general elections.

But Tinubu and his heard of fools should know that no matter the level of their shenanigans, Southeast and Southsouth will never vote Tinubu.

I think this Bassey of a guy will pull weight in Akwa Ibom guber. This one they are losing sleep over him.

Hired group

If Tinubu could hire fake bishops, then he can hire anybody and anything.

Golan007:
Una don start again.

E never even manage Anambra you don dey talk Nigeria.

As i said on another thread, give it time and you guys would soon be marketing Ikpeazu.

Go and sit down.

We never market nonsense.

16 years after, we are still not marketing Orji Uzor Kalu because we don’t believe in his abilities.

Almost 8 years after, and we are still Okorocha’s worst nightmares because he couldn’t convince us.

Since 2015 till date, we have remained Ikpeazu’s most ardent critics and will remain so.

We are not like you people.

You defended as still defend Aregbesola despite his woeful performance in Osun.

Today, despite his woeful performance in Ogun, you people still carry Eleyi Dapo Dagboru for head like Gala.

Which Yoruba politician do you people hate for poor performance and not for going against Jagabandit?

beardedboy:
You think you made sense, huh?

If you can't meet up with a mortgage payment then you can simply resell it for someone else.

Life happens to people everywhere. Not only in Nigeria.

And what happens to all the years you spent being slave to a job just to pay mortgage?

press9jatv:
The national leadership of the party is saddle with the responsibility of conducting Gubernatorial party primary. Any primary conducted by the unauthorized organ of the party is null and void. And it is in violation of the new electoral act 2022 as amended.



Appeal court rules!!

I’m not contesting the merit of the case.

I’m talking about Supreme Court exploiting one stupid technicality somewhere.

Remember that Adeleke won at the Tribunal and Appeal Court the last time but Supreme Court on the stupid technicality of one of the Judges being absent from court one day.

That’s what I’m talking about.

As the Hurricane Obi is becoming clearer and more real, all of them don dey run kiti kiti kata kata.

We will still vote Obi.

Godoverevery:
Yea .....that pdp guy Is someone was very intelligent during the debate.

He was clearly better than soludo and uba when it comes to modern innovation and plans.

That uba Was a disgrace....the man couldn't even make good sentences.

I was wowed by him that day.

Honestly, aside being intelligent, his ideas seemed most practical and realistic and cost effective.

Simply put, he had SMART ideas.

And please, don’t be bringing Uba into our talks. The dead has nothing in common with the living.

Moh247:





This man is truly an economist, that knows how financial system works

A dumb black man goes to the bank to save his resources for banks to use, while his money remains the same the bank makes intrest lending to investors

An intelligent white man, gets a sure income, goes to bank to get loan to finance a start up business, uses a loan to get a car and also gets a mortgage and a prepaid contract phone.... He pays back the loan from his profit margin within 10 years and he has access to acquire more asset, and his business earnings would have afforded him another car and another house

10 years after saving, a dumb black man, buys a Tokunbo used by the intelligent white man, he buys UK used Iphone 8 used by the white dude, and buys his first land to build after 5 years of another savings



.

Rehashing Tinubu’s mortgage economics, huh?

Ever been in debt before?

Ever borrowed money from a loan app to invest in something you think is “sure” only for life to happen and you are grappling with how to pay back?

I guess not.

Because if you ever have, you would realize the stupidity of Tinubu’s mortgage economics.

Things don’t always work out the way we plan them and that’s why you cannot advise anyone to take huge loans for startups. A lot of people who did have committed suicide while those still alive are either contemplating suicide too or are tired life.

It is easy to do such things in America and other developed world because there, govt helps you succeed but down here, half of the money you borrowed will be collected by govt as tax and business registration fees. You go still settle Agbero o!

So, hey, stop rehashing this Tinubu’s mortgage economics, it’s stupid.
