Oga, the year is 2025. I am not even Igbo, but this your diatribe is extremely silly.

Bringing up 1960s in 2025 is insane!

I don't care where he is from; I hope he does what is right when it is right.

Researchers, over to you on the new appointee's profile.

I personally do not believe Tinubu won the last election giving Buhari/APC 's outing prior. However, Tinubu has proven to be a far better administrator than Buhari and in some respect, Jonathan (although he owes Jonathan an apology for the subsidy protest, having come to swallow his vomit on keeping subsidy).

Having said the above, regardless my support of Tinubu 's economic policy, it will take heavy politicking, and some rigging for Tinubu to win the coming election. This is not because Tinubu has been terrible, but because Nigerians are too poor, uneducated to appreciate the reforms. If we agree, the greater number are hungry illiterates with a need for immediate gratification, then you'd agree that the greater number won't want Tinubu back. Those that are literate enough as Sanusi, Iweala, to appreciate his policies, do not have the numbers. So see you see rigging.

EvilMerodack:
If dem bring stats per region wey favor Kogi, una go talk say na Northern state, but now, e don sharply turn Yoruba

Dude, no SW person has ever been INEC chairman and that remains

mcquin:
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?

casualobserver:
your attempts at gaslighting has failed before it took off.

It matters because your actions then are still your actions now. For example, you are the only people in 2023 who voted 90% for their kinsman and you want to tell us Bringing up 1960 is insane? Even the North did not do that! When your actions start to deviate from your past actions then what happened in 1960 will be the past! until then!

Aja nwachukwu was the minister for education then. guess what? It was his son as minister for education under yaradua that removed history from our curriculum. The history you dont want people to know we shall tell!

Amarachieze:
Accordingly to you "Nigerian are too poor and uneducated to appreciate the reform" Meanwhile those you mentioned who are rich and well educated have also noted that the gains of the reforms have been stolen from the masses by the ruling class through corruption and unaccountability. You are not even ashamed in trying to blackmail members of this forum to agree with you that the greater number of Nigerian voters are "hungry illiterates", concluding that that accounts for why Tinubu will not win but will rig himself in.
I am sorry but I think you are a poor student of political science, sociology and even economics.
Firstly you blame the overwhelming poverty in Nigeria which is the direct function of bad governance riddled with corruption on illiteracy of the masses which in itself is an indictment on the government. Are you not aware that literacy is one of the indices of development?
If Tinubu lose the election in 2027 which is most likely barring rigging, it is not for any other reasons but because the gains his bold reforms have been hijacked by his corrupt government

If you observe my engagements on this platform, I try to be at best civil, so regardless your manners on a public forum, I'll extend you same courtesy.
I do not hold brief for Tinubu, but really, are you going to blame a 2 year old presidency for our literacy rating?
Considering your last vituperation on my post for spelling out facts which you never countered, I'd appreciate you leave me be sir or ma. Please be safe. Goodnight.

Afrobasic:
Zero context.

Igbos have been marginalised in this country hence the voting pattern. Imagine that Yoruba has never had a president in Nigeria since independence, would you and your kin not vote for a yoruba candidate in every single election cycle?

This happens all over the world particular where there's deep rooted marginalisation. In USA for example African American voters voted for Obama at almost 99% during the 2008 election cycle. Why do you think they did so?

seunH:
Having perused your write up, I can confidently say that you are an intelligent man. However I disagree with your first paragraph where you said APC didn't win

AsgardKing:
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.

Okwyjesus:
He is a Yoruba man from Kogi.
No be so?

casualobserver:
if you wanted to "move on" you wouldnt have quoted me

i have already said (right from my first post) that if you said Tinubu owes Nigeria an apology, i will agree with you but he does not owe Jonathan any apology for not having the courage to push through a policy he knew was right. Politicians will play politics, All the opposition politicans criticizing the removal of fuel and forex subsidies are not going to reverse if if they win! Tinubu is not responsible for Jonathan's weakness! A president is not elected to be a nice guy but to make the tough but correct decisions!

I would have thought that contained and implied in "if you said Tinubu owes Nigeria an apology, i will agree with you" is that Tinubu played politics with the subsidy removal. I have already said if you rephrased it and said he owes Nigeria an apology i would agree. the fact still remains that Jonathan was weak! nobody owes him an apology, if anything he also owes us an apology for not doing the right thing 13 years ago!

mcquin:
Can we move on now?

tempest01:
Obviously a Rigger.


I know for sure they will not name someone that has not previously been compromised.

remele2:
We hope say glitch no go dey dey again .
Amen

phemray:
The first thing is what is rigging in an election?
Secondly is who Riggs in an election?, the candidate or its supporters ?
The 3rd is, is rigging synonymous to only elections or any other like banking, manufacturing, policies, etc?
4th is if everyone commenting on social media today have the opportunity to use Thier phones and comments to vote for Thier preferred candidate are they going to vote once? Going by the levels of aggressiveness we witnessed from supporters.

In my own opinion, only option A4 can reduce rigging if we don't mind the consequences, because every party Riggs in Thier strong old.

casualobserver:
lets not behave like they behave. He is a yoruba man and anyone who doersnt like it can go hug a transformer. Since 1999 every president has appointed INEC commisioner. These are the rules, anyone who doesnt like the rules should lobby for the rules to be changed but this one o...e don appoint and he will serve his term.
