It failed because it didn’t favour him.

Onye ala!

I wonder what Tambuwal wants to campaign with?

What has he achieved as Sokoto state in the past 7 years?

Politics › Jonathan’s Protesters: Genuine Or Hired? by Penguin2(op): 8:49pm On Apr 22, 2022
So earlier today, we saw pictures of some ragtag protesters who went the former president’s private office to prevail on him to join the race for 2023 presidential election.

A lot has been said about how the north wants to shortchange the South with Jonathan’s 4 yours so power can return to them but that’s not the reason for this piece.

The question is simple, do you think those protesters were genuine without any inducement and prompting? Do you believe those women on hijab wrote the inscriptions they were bearing? Or Jonathan, like any other crooked Nigerian politician, has begun playing some silly politics of painting the picture that people are protesting for him to contest?

As far as I’m concerned, the day Jonathan declares to contest the 2023 presidential election is the day he will loose the goodwill he has enjoyed since he left office. And what’s worst? He will lose woefully.

Like Traditional Rulers, Religious Leaders are supposed to be apolitical and fathers to all. Endorsing any candidate is an aberration and a desecration of the altar of God.

Politics › Re: Cost Of Nomination Form For Primaries: Texas In USA Vs Nigeria by Penguin2: 10:06am On Apr 21, 2022
jmoore:
Below is the list of what most states in USA charge for a candidate that wants to partake in primaries.

Governor: $5,000.
U.S. Senate: $5,000.
U.S. House: $2,500.
State Senate: $1,000.
State House: $500.
Judicial offices: $500.
Countywide elected offices: $100.
County Commission or Constable: $25.

Let's compare one state in USA and a country called Nigeria.

GDP of Texas 2021: 2.0 Trillion dollars
Budget of Texas 2021: 261.5 billion dollars.
Presidential aspirants in Texas pay a $5,000 filing fee.

GDP of Nigeria 2021: 446.9 billion dollars
Budget of Nigeria 2021: 23.3 billion US dollars (13.6 trillion naira)
APC presidential form: 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira)

Compare that to a poor country called Nigeria. APC decided to set the price of governorship at $85,470 (50 million naira). That is 16 times more than what is paid in USA. While that of president set at 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira) is 34 times more than what is paid in USA.

Until INEC sets a REASONABLE limit on how much political parties can charge, this ridiculous trend will continue.

Are our destinies tied to APC and PDP?
Many are complaining that these top two parties are disenfranchising young candidates with their prices. We have more younger people than old people. If only many Nigerians think like me, APC and PDP would have been abandoned for a long time. But most of the electorates love 'abusive relationship'.

If in other countries, a young person can win an election with a unpopular party, why can't it happen in Nigeria?
Good analysis

But asking if our destiny is tied to either APC or PDP is senseless.

There’s need for us to be more realistic than idealistic.

A vote for any mushroom party, no matter how good their candidate is, is a vote for APC.

It is stupid to vote for a that only has office in Abuja. These parties have no structure nor agents at polling booths to protect their votes.

So, for me, our mission in 2023 should be to take out APC and then plan how to take out PDP itself if they mess up again.

PrinceOfLagos:
Read the bolded and you will see that Buhari didn't go through the stress of bringing Abdulahi adamu to be APC party chairman for nothing

Like I've said before , The north are not Tinubu mate when it comes to politics
All over the world, Presidents are always interested in who succeeds them and Buhari won’t be any different.

Even if Buhari is uninterested, the men around him who has used power to further their interest would make sure to co-opt him into ensuring someone that would be sympathetic to their course succeeds Buhari.

So, yes, Buhari will anoint a successor and that’s the mission Adamu was sent to APC HQ to achieve.

But Tinubu urchins don’t like telling themselves the truth.
Politics › Re: APC Silent On Zoning, Nigerians Condemn ₦100 Million Nomination Form by Penguin2: 8:30am On Apr 21, 2022
They will still give Tinubu the knockout punch but they don’t wanna serve it early. Cuz early knockout of a heavyweight spoils the fun of the competition.

I see APC microzoning its Presidential ticket to a region that is not Southwest.

Meanwhile, NEC has transferred its powers to NWC.

What that means is that all the governors, Senate President, Gbajabiamila, and others that Tinubu has bribed to plead his case at NEC are knocked out already.

NWC will now be the one making the decision and the vote would be the rest of the region against SW zone grin

Picture of the Cheque or it’s audio!

Tinubu rakes in about 2.1billion naira monthly from Alpha Beta commission alone.

So 100million naira is like suya money to him.

There are pretenses that he and his urchins should not bore us with abeg.

Las las Tinubu will just waste the 100million sef. Not like he’s going to win the ticket.

Rilwayne001:
The VP cannot escape being there. He’s a political office holder, his principal is there BTW. Both Senate president and Hor speaker are there. You can see that.

The ‘national leader’ pseudonym is just a pseudonym, it’s not a specific office.
So you accept Tinubu has been wearing a pseudonym since 2015?

Something that is nonexistent…

So, basically, he’s been defrauded.

Eyaaaaah grin

I thought Tinubu is the National leader of APC, I can't find him anywhere in the meeting.
Exactly my thought o

A whole “National Leader” could not attend party NEC.

So what is he now leading?

Why una National leader no attend NEC meeting?

Family › Re: 15-Year-Old Boy Caught Trying To Lodge In A Hotel With 2 Girls (Video) by Penguin2(op): 8:03am On Apr 20, 2022
Excuzeme:
We all watched the Video, the Girls did not run away, they just WALKED AWAY!

There is a difference between running away (which presumes guilt or fear) and walking away, (which presumes being disinterest with who was calling them back or just ignoring the caller!).
The latter will be my own view.
When you report events, please do so accurately and dont try to embellish it, for your own interest.
You are painting accidentals.

What did the usage of ‘run’ instead of ‘walk’ (according to you) remove from the substance of the issue that was reported? What?

Again, ‘run’ as a word could be adopted in the literal sense of the word and figuratively also.

So, figuratively, the girls ‘ran’ from being spoken to and their faces being captured on camera. Whether they actually ran, walked, crawled or jumped away, are all matter of semantics.

Go back to school and learn the difference between syntax and semantics so you don’t come under my mention to embarrass yourself next time.

Megatrix:
Something is happening, It's like all these declaration is to make them have too many candidates in APC so they will say that consensus candidate is the best option.
Alternatively, what if he was drafted into the race by Buhari?

Recall he was the candidate for Deputy National Chairman, South, of the APC but only dropped out on the last minute.

Similar thing happened with Abdullahi Adamu…

Adamu was minding his business when he was directed to buy form for APC chairmanship position.

Fingers crossed…
