It's not about the result. It is the way Man City are playing; that's the basis of my analysis.

2ndchildhood:
I said it before, Harland coming to city will kill Pep's mode of play. In today's football, a striker must have the ability to play at least one of those flanks. Otherwise e go be like say your team dey play 10 against 11.. the same thing Man United are suffering because Ronaldo is too old to play the wing, na watin the happen to City with Harland because he can't play from the wing.. no be every team fit play with strikers wey na just to dey give am ball make he score..

EverblazingTee:
What you wrote makes no sense. It is illogical. With this kind of reasoning, I'm scared for the future of this country.

Oddfinder001:
Don't mind the shameless urchin
They are asking us to 'respect' the same ppl that destroyed the country

We all know you people know nothing about respect. So I know where all these is coming from

ALL Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s selection of former Governor of Senator Kashim Shettima on a Muslim-Muslim ticket has set the former Lagos State Governor on collision course with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who was said to have warned that such an adoption would not augur well both for the party and the country.

A Presidency source disclosed yesterday that Osinbajo had expressed serious objection to the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Professor Osinbajo is opposed to this thing announced on Sunday, and his objections are well known both to the party and even the flagbearer himself,” the source said, adding that the VP opposed a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2014 even before what later turned out as his own eventual nomination as VP.

Then he was reported to have explained to Tinubu that a Muslim-Muslim ticket would simply isolate Christians. Later the then APC flagbearer, President Buhari, also shared that position and rejected overtures to name Tinubu as his running mate after emerging as the presidential candidate.

The informed source said that recently, Osinbajo counselled APC chieftains and Tinubu to avoid an unbalanced ticket, arguing that such would simply be untenable and an unnecessary risk.

Said the source: “The VP explained the logic, fairness and justice of a balanced ticket is unassailable. The argument that merit should be considered above a Muslim- Christian balance presents a false choice. It is not one or the other. You can get all the merit you want in a balanced ticket.

“The VP said anything short of a balanced ticket creates a needless tension and further aggravates some of the country’s fault-lines. But a balanced ticket certainly sends a positive signal.”

As political tensions brewed, fresh talks of political realignments were already buzzing since after the announcement on Sunday as some other registered parties are said to be making plans to build a new coalition with Vice President Osinbajo in what is seen as an opportunity to offer a credible and faith-balanced option in next year’s presidential election. A source said a meeting to explore such a possibility is now in the works.

“APC may have shot itself on the foot with this kind of ticket, and the tensions going on in the party and the country since the announcement was made is a bad thing,” the source said.

...religion should not have a place in our social life. It's the economy stupid. Fortunately, Jagaban is not a fanatic - check his wife's religion. Many of us won't tolerate our spouse opposing religious beliefs.

jojothaiv:
As a typical Bashushe man, I can categorically and sparotigetively tell you that I will never be a party to a Christian-Christian ticket, say whatever you like I will never deceive myself.

I know some of my kinsmen might want to hide under the 'competency' talk but I will not be a party to that hypocritical excuse and bull-shits. Assuming I had wanted to be a part there are questions left unanswered concerning the current regime who's equally a northerner.

OWN GOAL

SHETIMA IS A KANURI MAN

TrackerXL:
There is no foolish question here, I am a Christian n will be voting Tinubu. Vote who ever you want n leave Tinubu alone.

Slurity:
we don't care if it's Muslim Muslim candidacy,. We Christians with sense will still vote Tinubu.

DaveDGreat:
No they won't.

Just recently, a Christian Northern told me that with what is going on now, it would be very difficult (even near impossible) for any of them to become a president or VP.

Even with all the things that Babachir David Lawal said on Channels News, APC couldn't see a viable Christian Northern to pick. It's well sha.

Danniedpastor:
Just as the South won't support the bat and his co- traveler

omokab:
he has never carry you go anywhere you don't know except you don't understand simple game of politics or you don't want him to win. In honesty he can't use Christian to win in the north. With this he will have support from the north and south west forget about online noise . majority of Yoruba Christian will vote for him base on tiwa ntiwa and his legacy . Then we Yoruba are not fanatics like in the north . we are liberal and we understand life outside politics.

Femeto:
No be this Shettima marry under aged girl?

Danniedpastor:
What's your point exactly?
So, this is worth celebrating?
