Well, the truth is, the zoning of a thing is not in our constitution. It was only an unwritten agreement within each political party. Not between political parties.
Obi supporters should realize that Atiku bought the ADC, the iron condemn for his own political pursuit. I never expected Obi, if he did his calculations right, to go join that "collusion." The moment he did, I knew it was a political mistake on his part.
Best thing for him is to move now before it is too late.

Lets be very clear on this, is Atiku the enemy of Nigeria?
Is ADC the enemy of Nigeria?
Who is the enemy that we all want out so we can breathe well?
Tinubu.
How do you defeat a tough n cunny opponent?
Shey na to form alliance with other people who sees the enemy as their enemy too.

Will APC have succeeded in defeating Pdp in 2015 if they didn't put their house in order?
They all went in for primaries, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Buhari, nda Isaiah, etc...
Buhari emerged, they made sure they fix all those separate factions that contributed to their success..
Acn... VP
NPdp... SP
Cpc.. Pres
Apga n anpp had ministers n so on.

This is what tambuwal advocated in his 2019 speech during the party convention..
Can Obi do it alone?
Can he deliver it in 4yrs/1term?
Will he have the senate n house in his favour?

Breaking out to join NDC which was a 2nd choice for coalition incase The court judgment doesn't favour ADC is evil n cunny.
Stay, fight and work for the party...
Tomorrow others will also stay n fight for u...

okoloto:
Atiku/obi is possible. But obi/kwankwanso is a sure win. Masses trust obi more than all. Not even now that the north and whoever loves Nigeria have understood his intention to rebuild the nation and put us in the part of growth from where APC left us.

Will 4yrs 1term favor PO?
No be tomorrow he will feign ignorance by using people to buy his 2nd term ticket...

IamPatriotic:
All these disguising Obidients seem to believe that Atiku, a regular presidential candidate, would rebuild a political party and then hand it over to Obi, when he is not yet 68 or 70 that we will say he has time. Atiku doesn’t have the time anymore. That assumption ignores political reality.
Baba has spent years contesting and positioning himself for the presidency, and this is his last shot. It’s unrealistic to expect him to step aside for Obi. Politics is driven by ambition, not wishful thinking.
When Atiku moved to the ADC, even the least politically aware people knew he would be the party’s presidential candidate. I wonder why Obi and his supporters are acting as if Atiku promised Obi the ticket of the ADC for him to join the party.

PO knew this, infact when he moved to ADC, there's one publication that surfaced that time that he wants to go deputize AA..
He wanted it, cos that was the best bet for him.
Don't know who is cajoling him to think he can do it without AA.
I'm still waiting to see how PO/kW will fly...

The way kwankwaso go disappoint them, even ambode n GAC matter go be childs

Hemanwel:
Atiku don hijack the ADC again even when it's obvious that it's still the southerners turn to complete their eight-year rule.

Omor...these politicians greedy oh!

What's all these with turn by turn politics?

We r trying to reset, organize n lay a solid foundation for a functional country, una dey use rotation want thwart am...
If that coup had worked, will u guys say the leader of the junta must be from south?

Po/kwan being on a separate platform will not defeat Tinubu..
Infact it will make Tinubu win more easier.
Check out what is happening in Lagos, almost all contenders for governorship seat has stepped down for hamzat, cos they know he is the most preferred man.
Sentiments aside between PO n Atiku, who can garner more votes against Tinubu in the North?

Atiku will do just a term to balance the North- south years in power, PO will take over from there and do full 8yrs if he delivers in his first 4yrs..
This is how our coalition should be thinking not to be tricked to be on the ballot.
Tinubu doesnt have any issues in the south, his greater problem is in the North..
Atiku can get 6M votes in the north, PO brings 5M in the South, before noon we don finish APC.
But u guys r still bringing the 2023 scenario back again.
How did apc defeat Jonathan?
The formed coalition, went for primaries, we all knew Buhari was going to win it, outside that, buhari was more popular in the North.
Today Atiku is the most popular man in the North.. and he is detribalized..

Willy2025:
Like play like play, 2023 scenario is about to play out again. It's going to be a 3 way horse race and President Tinubu is certain to win even a day before the election
This time around, Kwankwaso is going to go his separate way. He has never in any forum agreed to be Vice to Obi. The issue of VP was imposed on him by Obidients. The opposition is highly unorganised and in disarray.

When u talk, obidients go say u no sabi politics.
Any 3 horse race will favor the incumbent..
If obi allows kwankwaso to trick him into ndc, then obi no be politician at all.
Obi should not be desperate to be the president, he should not allow his ego to destroy his career ..
Kwankwaso is a tricky fellow, he will sell him out cos he has nothing to lose.

givedemwotowoto:
Oga tell us the truth, Tinubu government's hardship and inflation made you sell your house.

You spent all your savings hoping Tinubu will do the miracle he promised, but he failed.

We get it:

It costs at least N60,000 weekly to fuel your car

Another 60,000 weekly to fuel your generator for electricity

Food costs 5x what it used to cost to feed your family

You're now looking for a way out, but you can't admit it publicly just like many of your colleagues on NL

Na this marriage i do i realized what people spend on fuel...
I budgeted 50k for fuel for and during the marriage both TM n white..
I come reduce am to 25k, the first day we enter market to buy drinks, i spent 28k on fuel .. TM day my bro supported with 8k fuel, we manage am till Sunday, fuel finish for road when my nephew went to buy stuffs for market, dont know how much fuel he bought to get the car running again.
On white wedding day which was monday, na 30k fuel i buy for both generator n car...
Average i spent on fuel within that period don enter 70k plus ...
Most times i dey pity transporters now cos u fit buy fuel 30k, u no drive am comot 30k...

HacheNoire:
Professor Wole Soyinka is highly learned and familiar with economics indices to assess and reach judgement.

You do not expect him to address issues when there is none. He is familiar with the great shift His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is working on and aware about the course where The President is navigating towards.

When you see critics silent, is not that they are scared, bribed or being cowards. It is because they CURRENTLY do not have critical issues to address.

It will be nuisance for The Great Wole Soyinka to start addressing matters like Peter, who has no in-depth knowledge about economics or a sense of feasibility to know where the country is drifting towards.

Any economics that doesn't make the people smile and alleviate the sufferings of the people, such economics is tinubunomics.

yarimo:
Some people will find a way to blame president TINUBU on this again

No we r not finding a way, we don see the way to blame Tinubu

Image123:
This is a good move actually.
The people wey this tax concern no go complain reach poor man wey no get even toy car oh. Imagine?
It's on IMPORT by the way. It's part of import duty. Clarifying this for those that think it's a yearly tax. Buy your size, guys. If you're not buying car or already have car, even 5,000cc, e no consign you. Stop hyperventilating, save your BP.

Master, lemme call u by what u r, cos i believe u still a toddler.
Those who import that heavy duty trucks, they factor in these duties and spread it around their services charge.
So this additional tax will be added to the already bogus service charges which inturn will increase the prices of goods n services across board.
Whether u have a truck or not, at the end spiral effect of this tax will affect you and those very poor u r mocking.

1vandragon:
Lol.

Bat wants Nigerians to pay for goods and services at the same rate as developed countries.

He wants to introduce tax polices similar to developed countries.

Fine. Approve wages that are commensurate to those same developed nations. No. That is when he starts speaking grammar.

Nigerians, 2027 general elections around the corner...

They know Nigerians r divided so who goes...

Alliswell248:
Use your brain. Don't suspend your thinking faculty
Do you know what 1.15 trillion naira is...

Yes, it is part of the money being looted by the current government.

Okwutemaven:
Even HELINUES and YARIMO data boys go shake their heads if them view this one..

U forgot seunmsg, the baba of dem alll

tobenuel:
lolz akukor mama ngozi na ndi yard. this your narrative is what we call half- way effort

Or rather still half empty- half full context.

jamafa:
This thing you posted here is not for that man o

Who b bad luck?? Person wey once you meet am, your life no go remain same again

As how na

garykoeman:
But you people supported Ibrahim traore declaration of abolition of democracy in Burkina faso.

Hypocrite everywhere.

Likewise the suspension of rivers state elected govr...

Wow...

We support wetin no good

God1000:
Who cares about going there anyway, I will never set my foot in that terrible country


I pity some N@gerians that are worshipping these useless racists

If them send u dollar now, u go first go church go give rubbish testimony...

Hypocrite

helinues:
Still one side of the story

Check ur left brain, u go see the otherside of the story

The only truth why Tinubu no honour sanwolu call is both party r at loggerheads.
Ever since sanwolu made the state assume members impeach their speaker and tinubu solely reinstated him, the battle line was drawn.
Shebi efcc don arrest n prosecute sanwolu chick just recently..

tunde1200:
Guerrilla war fighters don’t fight in open battle. They use ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, and disappear quickly this is very delicate for Nigerian Army to win.

Which one is guerrilla warfare....
The security know where bandits r camped, they know their hideout, they bandits dont live amongst people, take the war to their hideout n eliminate them.

mrvitalis:
According to tinubu boys,.. He is a mole sent by tinubu

If na mole, we go mold am to our taste

my take home from the article...
''households receive ₦75,000 distributed over three tranches, helping families meet essential needs such as food, healthcare, and education if you ask me, N75,000 is indeed a lot of money to Nigerians, and there are many things they could do with it.''

75k in 3.tranches that's like 25k 3times...
So 25k will fix a family of 4 with food, healthcare n education... And for just 3times o..

Richtaiwo:
I do not understand these headlines fixated on earnings. If you choose not to pursue anything meaningful to improve your situation, but instead remain on social media hurling insults at the government, you will remain exactly where you are. You have been doing so all along, and I assure you, even under the next administration, you will still be doing the same.

No government distributes wealth for free, income must be earned.

So what exactly is the city boy movement doing?
I thought they r distributing wealth on behalf of the govt...
They r trying to close the gap between the rich n the poor thru bags of rice, indomie, maggi n salts plus some strands of spaghetti.

richiemcgold:
No he didn't.

But before he became their presidential candidate, was obi's name in LPs register (as recognized by INEC)?

Was Abba Yusuf's name in the NNPP's register before he also became a governorship candidate?

These should be the most important questions here.

There is what we called Waiver...
Every party's national organ do give certain waivers to big fish coming in to contest under their party.
Ortom was of pdp, he got waiver under apc to contest the gubernatorial election in benue state.
Under the law, Nationals working committee of the party is supreme, they decide what happens in the party, and no court can overturn their decision.
Abi did the court upturned the nwc suspension on wike n his band boys?

seunmsg:
I agree fully with the opinion of the learned jurist. We argued about this severally before and after the 2023 general election but the Supreme Court failed woefully in their rulings on the election to give effect to the requirement of the law that requires Political Parties to submit their membership register to INEC 30 days before the election. Allowing people who are not on the party register to contest as candidates of the party made a mockery of that particular section of the electoral act.

Did u also argue how ahmad lawan n akpabio were on the senatorial election ballot even when they didnt participate in the party primaries?

fergie001:
When they elevated you to the Supreme Court in 2011, why did you refuse to go? Instead you chose to leave the Judiciary rather than go to the Supreme Court to show that your expertise. Now, you didn't go to the Supreme Court and as President of the Appeal Court, you as well as Kayode Ariwoola then In the Appeal Court were directly accused of procuring judgements for Aregbesola (Osun) and Fayemi (Ekiti).

Milord Justice Salami, you know the principle of stare decisis means you should not be discussing issues like this. You can recall Sir, it was because of that strong allegation that Kayode Ariwoola's elevation to the Supreme Court was delayed.

It was because of the allegation of helping the ACN that for the first time the Supreme Court & NASS changed the rule to ensure that Governorship elections go higher to the Supreme Court and not end at the Appeal Court like before 2011.

Milord, I also hope you are conversant with the Electoral Act 2022 that persons outside those who participated in the Primary should not be challenging same, an age-long principle even when you were at the Appeal Court as far as 2007, membership issues are non-jurisdictional. Are you aware Sir that forgery has been removed from the Electoral Act 2026? Justice Salami, are you aware that some people are in their positions in the NASS without participating in their parties' respective primaries?

Ahmad lawan, Godswill Akpabio...

He can never say such against these ones, him no get lever.

https://independent.ng/failure-to-zone-adc-ticket-to-south-will-hand-tinubu-re-election/

This obedient movement r so foolish...

This isn't time to campaign for zoning but thinking how to retrieve Nigeria these thieves currently dealing with the citizens.

What if they zone the ticket to south, will Obi do just one term?

Can one term fix the rubbish apc has destroyed since 2015?

Walai:
Before now, we looked up to NNPC for fuel price, Dangote is now the new NNPC. What is now the job of NNPC?

To focus on stealing.

Kalulu44:
Honestly, I pity the goalkeeper. This will definitely kill his confidence going forward

What of we wey carry barca straight win, won't u pity us?

Kushites:
Most Nigerians have this idea that govt is where the money is at.

They are so wrong. Nigeria's annual budget is $40 billion.

But GDP is $400 billion.

That's the Private Sector.

Oil and gas accounts for less than 15% of GDP.

So those hundreds of billions of dollars is all private sector-generated. So the private sector is WHERE THE MONEY IS AT, if you want to form a CNN-grade network, or anything big, in fact, in Nigeria.

If you can leverage the private sector by forming a consortium with qualified people, and you can make a business case for such a station to big companies, it's BOOM TIME! Big money comes in, and you do it.

Go to America, UK etc. Virtually nothing is run by the govt. It's all private sector, from stadiums to airports to power plants to railways to TV networks.

We call ourselves a capitalist economy, yet we seem to have a communist/socialist outlook in which the FG is expected to provide everything.

Do NTA generates funds on programs they air?
What do they do with the adverts funds they generates monthly n annually?
Atleast govt takes care of their personnel cost, what do they do with funds they generates from their local programs?

Raxxye:
What makes the question useless?

It is true that most frauds in Nigeria are committed using fintechs. I don't see how that question is useless!

Does the governors, senators divert the peoples funds using fintech?
