CHUBA OKADIBO mi dome much love this late Senate President.

No South West and North West for good reasons.
The target is to either be Presido or VP. SP na to appease the zones that Missed out in the scheme of things.
Why I go settle for less?
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Saraki really messed up his chances!!!

South West and North West have the competitive advantage over the other regions hence the reason they usually aim for higher positions. Moreover, the South East and South South need to be in unity if they want to defeat other regions.

So who is the most useless one out of them all

Exactly. We are seriously marginalized in this country.

Your words have great elements of truth.
But instead of it being that South East and South South should be in unity I will opine that they should build trust bridges across other zones.
Thanks.

Dem suppose dey stone this man shit everyday.

8 years yet no impact in his community.

Everything about federal politics turned against Igbos after the 1966 January coup, before then, Igbos called the shots.


This is to let the people currently feeling like they have conquered Nigeria forever just because Tinubu is President know that power is transient and the tides can still turn.


Time will tell

What we had in 1960 to 1966 is not like now

There is no equivalent

Even CBN governors, the story is the same yet SW is not crying marginalization

If you had managed the power well when you had the opportunity, you wouldn't have been schemed out.

Yes Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe didn't do well for the Igbos just as Bola Tinubu is not doing well for Yorubas today even though some of you Yorubas think he is doing well for you.


In few years to come, you guys will realize the harm Bola Tinubu and his divisive style of politics did to the entire Yoruba as a people.


I know you will still respond with defensive lines as usual, but pray to be alive and you will understand better.

You can't use 2 years to judge president Tinubu. Wait for the first 4 years

In my culture, they said soup that will be sweet is usually known from the aroma.

They also said that to know a good market day, you should check how the market started in the early morning.


A dog that will loss never hears or listens to the hunter's whistles

South East = 7 times
North Central = 4 times
South South = 3 times
North East = 1 time
North West = 0 times
South West = 0 times



Yet it is South East that is always crying of being marginalised

Pessimistic culture.

The current one is a rubber stamper, he slam the gavel after recieveig brown envelopes filled with dollar 💵 without due consultation with his colleagues that voted him in

Wow. Victim mentality na bad thing.

Shey una see say the idea of marginalisation na propaganda.

I don't know how to respond to you.
only well educated and intelligent people devoid of sentiment will know that the reforms and policies of the current government of Tinubu is taking Nigeria out of the long standing woods. It is a bold step in the right direction. I remembered, in 1999, when he jacked up lagos revenue from 600m to 10b, the hardship of the new order was evident everywhere in Lagos, it was that hardship that transformed Lagos state which makes it the preferred destination in Africa today.
Can you tell me what you think this government should do and it is not captured in the current reforms ongoing?

Can someone please explain what happened between 1999-2007 that Nigeria had 4 senate presidents instead of 2

Atiku happened according to OBJ. He kept trying to bribe the senate to usurp/impeach the president. In return, it kept backfiring. The letter writer didn't take such lying low as he kept scattering them.

Evan Enwerem June – Nov 1999 Removed over allegations of falsifying name/credentials (controversial screening process)
Chuba Okadigbo 1999 – 2000 Impeached over corruption allegations and power struggle with President Obasanjo
Anyim Pius Anyim 2000 – 2003 Completed tenure but had a strained relationship with Obasanjo; did not return in 2003
Adolphus Wabara 2003 – 2005 Resigned after being implicated in a bribe scandal involving education budget
Ken Nnamani 2005 – 2007 Stepped in after Wabara; completed the term without major scandal

The Ken Nnamani you see there is a close friend of Tinubu that was SP during the saga o OBJ wanting 3rd term. Nnamani still thanks Tinubu till tomorrow for helping him with strategies at that period.

It's not about who scores first, the winner is predicted from who plays better from the beginning so his adage is in order

So OBJ worked with five senate presidents in 8years.? Woooooooooow!

I thought Dimeji Bankole was senate president ,.



I wish Peter G Obi is our President
