Why wasn’t his ministry shut down the last year or so since he’s been criticizing Buhari?!! I guess the church have to protect Obi their anointed son and the future president of Biafra republic. lol

Nazgul:
I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you.

From my understanding as a Christian, it's very wrong to shut down a church. If the pastor in charge violated the rules of the ministry, he should be pulled out from that branch, suspended and another pastor should be sent there to replace him.

When you shut down the church, what do you expect the committed members to do? Where do you expect them to worship?

I'm just imagining going to my church on Sunday and I see the place close and they tell me our Regional Overseer closed the place because he had an issue with our branch pastor, I'll just look for another church and attend.

The Catholic Church is the biggest loser here, cos if Adoration ministry remains shut till next month, they'll loose all their committed members to other churches.

lol , a lot of ibos in other regions don't know their offense because it was ingrained in them by their parents while they were young,forgetting You don't teach a child hate or revenge, they remind them of the war and how their host killed their ancestors but forgetting the abuse was both ways , regardless of that all other regions accepted them and let them mix with them without inhibitions..... Enough of that gospel.
The average Igbo in a Yoruba land feels he's superior to his Yoruba counterparts to the extent that he abuses their culture, food (ofe nmanu, amala and ewedu) , elders, upto their traditional institutions this is quite funny because no matter how successful a Yoruba is he can't disrespect his elders like wise other regions.
Amidst all of these Biafra is still in their mind which other regions still believe it's not just a cause . It's the duty of a ruler to always protect his territory because we don't have external wars in Africa doesn't mean we should let go off this principle.

This message should be towards PDP, since the SE always vote in mass for them.

helinues:
Take a look at yourself. So you couldn't put all those factors into consideration before campaigning against Tinubu bitterly in the Apc primary?

helinues:
Walahi this guy no dey learn.

Upon how all your analysis regarding Apc presidential primary don lu'le

Meanwhile, make una no carry una bad luck reach Osibanjo's side cos everything una dey support meant to oblivion

As far as Nigeria is concerned the Tinubu and his daughter are detribalized just like the average Yoruba. There are limits to what a visitor can do in your home before you get angry and remind them this is your house . No other tribe can take what the Yorubas are taking in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo , Ekiti, Ondo and Osun. You can't go to Kano state or Abuja and say it to the face of an indigene that it's a no man's land. So Remi outburst is humane. The Ibos in Lagos where ready to vote against the Yoruba choice and voted against the Yoruba candidate amidst the level playing ground given to everyone to thrive , yes they are Nigerians and stake holders in Lagos also but the effontery of going against the wishes of the land owners is too much in the north, south south or south east it would have turned to riot .

Even though I'm still on the sidelines , I must say that a lot of guys that I know that hate politics and those that were supporting Osinbajo have joined the Obi movement.

To add to what you've said, the current President of Chile, Gabriel Boric, didn't win election from a major party, he won with an unknown party he founded himself with some smaller coalitions and no structure whatsoever. Emmanuel Macron nkor? Was he not a rookie in French politics? He formed a new party in 2016 without the so-called structure people keep talking about and used it to win French presidential election in 2017. Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the title of his comedy TV show to form a new party in 2018 and from there contested and won election the following year. There are several other examples I wouldn't want to go into.

Why do people always think Nigeria case is different? Do we continue to do the same thing and expect different results? Why not try a different way and see if it's going to give us a better life?

garfield1:
Nysc is not a constitutional requirement for presidency

Zeemam:
Osinbajo is not defecting at all. Stop spreading what is not realistic

garfield1:
Tinubu has satisfied the constitutional requirement and that is final

chigator2:
I am Igbo and Biafran.

Considering the current political climate in Nigeria , Osibanjo would stand a better chance. His age and religion factor is an advantage.

Igbos are not considered worthy or loved in Nigeria. That is why Biafra must come, let everyone answer their name and do what they can to help themselves.

My brother,based on the affidavit he swore in 1999,there is no need to insert fslc and wassce.the constitution says the minimum cert is ssce or equivalent and above and he inserted bsc which is above the minimum ceiling.you can only petition based on that.he did not include nysc so you are talking rubbish

fergie001:
You are reiterating what I said... I agree.
The Police is Constitutionally empowered to investigate any crime(s) whether or whether not the State House of Assembly is on it.


This is very untrue. The Supreme Court of Nigeria have never heard a case against Tinubu wrt the issue at hand. He was joined in the suit and the particulars of the Certificate was not the subject matter in Court.

The celebrated case here is Gani Fawehinmi v IGP, not even Tinubu. Permit me to go down memory lane.....

The petition was written and Fawehinmi forwarded same to the LSHOA and the Nigerian Police on 21 September, 1999 giving the Police 14 days to make public its findings. Before that, the contents of Gani's letter on 13 September 1999;
“The issue of immunity does not arise yet at the stage of investigation. Your duty at this stage is to conduct an investigation into the matter and make the outcome thereof public.”

On 27 September, 1999; The Police replied Fawehinmi that:
1. By virtue of Section 308, Tinubu cannot be investigated.
2. By virtue of Section 188 (removal of Governor) and Section 308, only the LSHOA can investigate Tinubu and act.
3. That Fawehinmi does not have the locus standi since he was neither a Governorship Candidate nor a member of AD.
4. That Fawehinmi cannot issue an Order of Mandamus following 3 above.

The Supreme Court ruled;
1 & 2. Every person in Nigeria, including the President can be investigated. Investigation does not mean one is guilty or a criminal. The SC still emphasised that members under S308 cannot be tried, imprisoned, arrested or charged to Court. Not even the investigation by any other agency or LSHOA can stop the Police from investigating a crime.

3. That it is the duty of every Nigerian to stamp out crime from the society hence, crime can be reported by any Nigerian to the Police. Hence, Fawehinmi or any Nigerian had the locus to lay a complaint to the Police.

4. That the Police under the Constitution is not compelled to make public any of its findings. Mandamus is a judicial remedy in the form of an order from a court to any government, subordinate court, corporation, or public authority, to do some specific act which that body is obliged under law to do, and which is in the nature of public duty, and in certain cases one of a statutory duty. The SC said Gani must show that he will suffer more than the general interests of Lagosians if the Order is granted. The SC re-echoed that thousands voted for Tinubu so he should show why that Order will make him suffer more than the rest. He had no statutory rights based on Section 59(1) of the Criminal Procedure Law of Lagos @ the time. The Appeal was dismissed.

In 2012, a Dominic Adegbola petitioned the Police again and went to the Federal High Court, Lagos and it was struck out. The man wasn't bringing up a new case, he was trying to enforce Gani's case of 2002 in 2013...a Judicial Review. Order 34, Rule 4 of the FHC Civil Procedure Laws, says it must be brought forth within 3 months.

You seem in a rush to latch onto issues that were not canvassed for here. There is only a singular issue here, the disinformation.

Tinubu's Certificate saga is more a moral burden than a legal issue. That there is something suspicious is not enough, to say he has perjured which is a criminal offence and must be proven beyond every reasonable doubts. His qualification criteria was not brought forth for interpretation here, he is qualified to contest if anyone feels a crime has been committed, he/she can head to Court.

Only the Nigerian Police can unravel the mystery, without which the matter will end the way it is, social media.

The very wrong information has been passed on for some days now, the reason I took my time to explain.

No sir. What Mr. Obasanjo did was just economic cosmetology.
Very good as they were, the problems were far deeper than that.
The issues were and still are fundamental first and structural overall, so his solutions back then only cleared the first hurdle and thus were not sustainable.

For want of time, I will just illustrate;
He merely fumigated to kill the pests of debts, but did not cut the grass of financial waste, clear the bushes of an over-bloated public service, leaving a dirty financial environment as a fundamental error, fit for the bugs of debt to shortly reappear.

Worse still he did not drain the swamp across the fence meaning the very structural problems afflicting the Nigeria state that makes productivity near impossible thus making public debts almost always inevitable.

So fumigating the bushes of public expenditure just made the bugs take cover in the swamp to await a change of government, and the next rains of global financial upheavals and boom we are back to crushing debts.

Even if you brought back OBJ today the best he will do will be to fumigate again (if possible) and we will enjoy a better balance sheet for just a season. We have deeper issues that keep this nation in perpetual decline decade on decade which go way deeper than public debt and successive repayment drama.
