How did you come to this conclusion?

You all are just slaves, to these politicians, yet living in penury.

I don't even blame these politicians on how poorly nigerians are treated
Why do you think everyone is in your circle or economic situation?

huh

There will never be free and fair election So long as the power to choose INEC chairman remain in the hand of a sitting president.
How can you put some one in a position and the person end up working against you.
its very rare.
The constitution that bestowed the power to choose an INEC chairman by the president should be review.

The president is way smarter than imagined. Nigerians will experience a FREE and FAIR election hence why he is making very strong political moves. Now, his successors are being set up because they will not be able to undo the upcoming cleaner format that the 2027 election would be because the Tinubu reference would be strong.

The guest is, if IREV worked well, would Peter win? If IREV worked well, would Atiku win?

Now Tinubu has incumbency to win and doesn't need the INEC, be will bequeath a clean INEC election in 2031. The question then would be, would the politicians then be able to withstand FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS that Amupitan would oversee.
The way some people reason ehh......
The way they narrate things to suit them hmmmm...
Is there hope for this country so?

Tinubu why? Why are you marginalizing the Yoruba people.

No Yoruba man has been appointed INEC chairman ever. This is so sad.
Tinubu is too pro North.

if its Peter obi and Atiku that will come up against Tinubu election maybe he does not need INEC

But should another party aside wike pdp present Jonathan 2027 ... Tinubu will need more than Inec

I agree but you have to play the same game like them to silence them.

You can see they are confused. They don’t know how to attack this.
people should understand something. this presidency is a once in a 48 year opportunity for any geo political zone. I make no apologies for what a yoruba man does in terms of appointments especially when he is doing a good job. Even in America that we copied this style of democracy from, Every president prays for retirement of supreme court judges to occur during his tenure so they can appoint people who have favourable ideologies. If he were not doing a good job, I would be the first to criticize him and indeed I have criticized him in certain aspects.

Like orji Kalu said yesterday, the beauty of democracy as practised in Nigeria is that there are term limits....His time has come and will go and the next person from the North will appoint as he feels, when his time expires the person from SS can appoint as he deems fit. no politian makes an appointment that will hurt him.

We are waiting for Mr Lamba to do press conference and say his village is finished.

God bless you Tinubu. You be real man.

We know......


He can't have an Igbo lady or a well learnt person that wouldn't bow to him, an inec chairman.

But why is the president electing or choosing an inec chairman 🤔
The Igbo lady is retiring next year, she wouldnt be active in office by 2027

You care more about tribal affiliation than anything else and if dem ask, you go say you want better Nigeria for us

They are angry because they want someone they can bully to support Mr Lamba but Tinubu shove them off and did what we want and whoever not happy can go to court.

Is it Tinubu that name him
Or Council Of State that Approved him as Chairman of INEC?
FOR There ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS HERE AND THIS IS ONE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA - SENSATIONAL NEWS!

Yet you want a fair and objective trial.
But all our past President from OBJ,GEJ and PMB nominated their Inec chairman na, when you begin dey follow politics sef?Or isnt Tinubu a president like them?

oga knowing and doing are 2 different things. The job of a good leader is to finish the job, you will always have opposition, the same people that criticize you will praise you when they see they benefits.

anybody can say we must remove subsidy, every sound economics student who hasnt graduated knopws that. Removing the subsidy and staying strong in the face of the backlash knowing it is the right thing to do is where the courage is. that is where you earn your stripes and place in history as a leader. Do you know the backlash Awolowo faced when he was taxing farmers and market women to pay for free education? i read somewhere that at the time the tax rate in the western region was 44%. What are they saying about Awolowo and education today and forever?
Cut to the chase already.

My point isn't too hard to figure. Whether Jonathan had the heart of "Stone Cold" or "Meeky Mouse" is conversation fo another day.
Fo the upteenth time, Nigeria needed to get off subsidy to stabilize economy. Tinubu was more concerned with politicizing the issue. That is not good enough. Country should precedence over politics. It should be "Nigeria First." Tinubu who now calls for patience should know better.
Not every person will be a Vladmir Putin, some prefer being a democratic Macron.

Finally, I am not out to win you on an argument, YOU WIN, can we now move on?
Re: Tinubu Names Prof. Joash Amupitan As New INEC Chairman by EvilMerodack(m): 4:25pm On Oct 09, 2025
RISQUE:
If the acting INEC chairman were to be Tinubu’s tribes person, he would have kept her till whenever but see how quickly he rushed to announce Amupitan as INEC chairman, why didnt he allow the woman conduct at least one election?. All these things wey una dey do for this country, make una continue.
Rest, she is retiring next year. Tinubu didnt force her to resume civil service 34years ago. If she started later, she would have remained there

Most of you dont know much about anything

NOMINATING INEC CHAIR MAN NAND DEFECTNG ALL THE STATE TO APC WONT SAVE TINUBU COME 2027.


THE FALL CAN EITHER BE EASY OR HARD, HE IS MAKING IT HARD FOR HIMSELF.

Re: Tinubu Names Prof. Joash Amupitan As New INEC Chairman by HRTOFAKNG(m): 4:27pm On Oct 09, 2025
Congratulations to him! If he likes let him conduct a credible election, if he likes let him not. Last last all of us will suffer it! I think ASUU are about to embark on strike. The same ASUU professors that were used to rigged election. I thought by now they should be swimming in paradise after the hatchet job.😎

there is nothing like middle belt in Nigeria context. it is and has always been north/south
you are either from the North ( North east, North west or North central (your so called middle belt)) or you are from the South (south east, south south or south west).
go read your social studies
