Again, making deals with members of the Opposition to turn them or curry their favour isn't illegal.

In the lead up to the 2024 US Elections, Trump made deals with very high-ranking Democrats to flip. Many of them are serving in Trump's Government today.
Biden made Trump loyalists flip too, including his personal Attorney.

Mentioning Obi was deflective but you complaining Tinubu is buying out the Opposition doesn't stand anywhere. Instead, it should cause us to reflect why almost all hitherto vocal Opposition members and activists who made themselves out to be society's moral beacon are preening themselves to be courted by Tinubu for favours.

What is immoral isn't always illegal.

When political deals mess with the opposition’s independence, it’s bad news for democracy because it kills accountability and transparency. Comparing what’s going down in Nigeria to the U.S. misses the mark,our systems are different,and doing that just makes patronage politics seem normal, which wrecks trust and institutions.

Calling out these shady deals isn’t just throwing shade,it’s about holding leaders feet to the fire and standing up for democracy. We gotta ask why opposition folks get bought so easily and what that means for the health of our democracy,so in a way, i agree, you ain't far from the truth regarding the "reflection".

You just scored a point for Raum, I'll be back.

Bimmarlykay:
Another news said he was not following Tinubus 10-pionts agenda.

So which propaganda we go believe?😂😎

Bimmarlykay:
How was Fubara opressed and manipulated till he succumbed,Okowa?

They even went as far as Stating ADC ain't legal.

How Obi entered this convo already tells how mentally unstable y'all is.

Tbat has always been a buy their conscience with money man.

Why opposition get bought so easily shows they lack the spine and belief to start with.

Why didnt they buy Tinubu Buhari Oshiomole when they were in opposition

Maybe you will also agree if Maresca tells you that Pep manipulated him into playing a wrong tactic and made him to lose a game

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
To whom it may concern.

TemporaryHansel:
It's more shocking that you believe Eto'o can't do it. Have you been keeping yourself updated on his(Eto'o 's) activities and antics since he became the president of the Cameroon FA?

The president is supposed to serve a single tenure but Eto'o changed the rules to allow him continue. And he also campaigned for dictator biya who has been ruling Cameroon with iron-hand for over two decades, I don't think someone like Eto'o is supposed to be engaging in such sycophancy.

You're seeing him as the footballer, but you need to see him for what he currently is.
Remove emotions and observe the facts.

DissTroy:
It's one of the positives of what is going on for me. That hitherto critics are lining up to be bought is a cautionary tale for those who clash at rallies, burn bridges with friends, and char connections which could have been social ladders for them.

Do not go to war, risk your life and potentitals for any politician or 'activist'.

I've seen too many 'saints' get bought out in the last two years, making their erstwhile supporters look stupid.

Trump even let Mamdani answer a question about whether the mayor-elect thought the president was a "fascist".

"That's ok, you can just say yes," Trump interjected, giving Mamdani a light tap on the arm and smiling. "It's easier than explaining."

Roland17:
You have been making noise with no bite.

What did you do when we called your bluff and visited Taiwan in 2022? You wailed, tucked your tail and looked away like we expect. You for blow up the plane na! Or arrest Nancy and the delegates.

No be Cho! Cho!! Cho! Show your working!!

semid4lyfe:
Lets leave Eto'o antics as FECAFOOT president and focus on the football.

So you believe Vincent Aboubakar will score 14 goals in the AFCON to overtake Eto'o as Cameroun all-time highest goal scorer?

Biko, no try use deflection and ogboju dabaru everything. A YES or NO will suffice.

TemporaryHansel:
Why should we leave his antics as fecafoot president, is that not part of who he is? His antecedents so far show if given the opportunity, he'll be another Biya.

That is the premise of my initial post where I said it seems an African man will always remain an African man irrespective of the level of exposure and generation (young/old).

As for your question on whether I believe somebody will score goals, to be honest, I don't know. I'm not a football expert. I'm not into sports like that.
You should be addressing that question to Eto'o who thought the guy will break his records.

raumdeuter:
Those in the know, know what caused the fall of Ambode. Not this beer parlor agenda of 10 point agenda

raumdeuter:
Was Tinubu as opposition leader not oppressed and manipulated? Why didnt he succumb?

If oppression is why supposed opposition fold then they are not serious at all

PDP oppressed opposition yet they didnt fold.

I see now,so according to you,it's a Vendetta?

Your ish is, you think everyone engaging with you is a PDP or Labour fan.

Okay, preach to a non partisan like myself who needs normalcy without involving whataboutism.

You are saying this because you are emotionally stable, mature and experienced in life, Others who are lacking will start spazzing out during electioneering
After elections, Atiku would be the chairman of the day at Buharis daughters wedding, Obi will be calling Atiku his dear elder brother, Tinubu and Atiku will be sharing contract etc
Recently former PDP spokesman Olisa Metuh was out saying when he was in trouble and sick it was Tinubu who actually called, checked on him and stood behind him but you, go ahead and cut off your parents

We were here a few months ago when some were declaring themselves Team Fubara when we told them this was all politics to the actors. Now all those propping up Fubara to be their bastion against Wike and APC have been made to look stupid

In America those who cut off their family because they voted Trump since Obama and Mamdani said he was Hitler are now seeing those same people smiling with "Hitler"
Recently Trump vs Mamdani they have called themselves all names in the world, When they met they were all smiles, The media even tried to get them to fight, they asked Mamdani if he thought Trump was still a Fascist and Trump just told Mamdani to say Yes

TemporaryHansel:
Upon all the exposure. An African man will always be an African man I guess.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This is a damning allegations.
Very very bad for the image of Nigerian military especially in their call for massive recruitment by the citizens into the military to counter terrorism and insurgency in the North.

I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with @HouseAppropsGOP. While there, we visited Benue State.

We met with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu and Tor Tiv. We met with suffering IDPs who are all Christians. They are forced to live in camps that are regularly… pic.twitter.com/pMRpYhNMWW

At this rate, I am curious to know Spy's gender; he is way more emotional than rational/realistic.

It's appalling!

This administration is taking this tax stuff too serious. If only they used money well, people wouldn’t even complain.

They demand more from citizens while giving absolutely nothing back. Imagine paying tax to folks who can’t account for loans, can’t explain revenues, and can’t even fix the basics.. No transparency, no accountability, no improvement, just relentless extraction.

Meanwhile, they didn’t create the environment that helped you earn your money, but they want to collect from it? And we all know how the film ends; public money disappears into their private pockets, while sponsoring their numerous side chicks to different continents and buying them cars, while the side chicks come online to claim they're self employed and "God did".

Allowing Nigerian politicians to dig deeper into public pockets to subsidize personal indulgences and private luxuries is a real tragedy.

swiz123:
I was just taxed on my Tbill at maturity yesterday. Something that was meant to be tax free to encourage people to purchase it and help curb inflation. Tinubu is useless!! Knows absolutely nothing other than tax and extort.

swiz123:
Omoo!! I borrow you money, you pay me interest and still tax me on that interest. So why will I borrow you again. There was a reason Buhari didn’t return the tax after the 10 years exemption granted on it expired 2022. But Tinubu eye no dey ever comot for people pocket.
