This is the problem. When "st*pid" people handle power, they just cannot let it go so easily. It is really a dangerous thing to be ruled by "fools" with the wise ones only having their wisdom and no power and no influence to stop this display of bastardized political jamboree.

A group of fools with power and influence are more dangerous than a bunch of wise men who only have knowledge but no power. This is why we need the power back! This is why the Nigerian masses must stand up for themselves and boot these fools out!



Look, whether the writer, buhari, Tinubu or the silly bourdillon like it or not....They must lose in 2019. Buharism cannot and must not be experienced ever again...

We are jumping and passing over this sardonically-inspired regime of floccinaucinihilipilification!!

As Israel passed over the plagues of Egypt..... So shall we also jump and pass over this deadly plague called "Buharism" angry

I have never seen so much drivel . Even tinubu's PA would not have done better.

And then when you check his name - A freaking Yoruba muslim.

You realize where his drivel is coming from .

They never disappoint, these Yoruba muslims.

And the Yoruba Muslims will surely vote against whoever you support.

As usual, they win.

By Abdulkabir Olatunji

Lagos, the centre of excellence is playing host to President Muhammadu Buhari and as expected there is a lot of chatter about this visit.

having taken time to closely follow this historic visit, these are my top 10 takeaways from the visit:

1. President Buhari is Likely to be Reelected for a 2nd Term

Regardless of your political inclination you should learn to read strategic political moves and if you understand how the president got elected in 2015 you will appreciate that he managed to galvanize majority of the power brokers that got him elected yesterday at the 10t h Bola Tinubu Colloquium. They are now firmly behind him and he looks unstoppable for 2019 barring any miracle of humungous proportions.

2. Bola Tinubu is the Most Influential Politician in Nigeria
It is almost useless to try to list who was present yesterday at the colloquium because anybody who is anybody was there bar a very small handful of people mainly former Heads of State and Presidents, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, APC Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun who seems to be losing out in the All Progressives Congress (APC) internal power struggle. Outside of these major players, practically everybody else who matters was there from traditional leaders to governors to the captains of Industry. They were all there to celebrate the man that President Buhari described as a ‘strategist’. No doubt, he is the leading political strategist of our time in Nigeria.

3. President Yemi Osinbajo is intent on Prosecuting Former President Goodluck Jonathan

Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo seems intent on exposing the alleged corruption of the former President, Goodluck Jonathan and some of his cronies. He again attacked the former president for looting the treasury.

Read some of his words at the event:

“And when we say that this same government that spent N139 Billion only on all of Agric, Power, Works and Housing, Transport, etc; spent between January 2015 and the elections, the sum of a N100 Billion in cash and 289 million dollars, altogether about a 100 Billion in cash, was released and spent, shared.

“This sum of money was in excess of the amount of money that was spent on Power, Works and Housing. And this is the point we are making, that there is no country in the world, and we must know this; there is no country in the world that would allow its resources to be plundered in the way our own resources were plundered and expect to be economically viable; it is not possible.

“Nigeria is unlike any other country because of the level of corruption that was perpetrated. We must stop that corruption and that is why we are so committed.

“When you fight corruption the way we are fighting it, corruption is going to fight back. The system would fight back. You will find that the fight-back is taking place everywhere, it is taking place on social media, it is taking place everywhere. But we are determined.”

How far he and the administration are determined to go, we shall see in the future.

4. Governor Ambode will stop at Nothing to Please his Political Benefactor

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is a direct product of the Tinubu brand of politics and it is obvious to see that he is taking every measure to honour the President who is obviously a key ally of his political benefactor; from declaring a work-free day for civil servants, to closing major roads to the extent that the president felt compelled to overrule some of the restrictions. The Ikeja computer village at was shut and the Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association felt the full weight of the government’s instruments of coercion over its planned protest over the new Land Use Charge rates which have become a source of conflict in Lagos. Security agents were deployed to the branch’s office and its chairman, Adeshina Ogunlana, confirmed the development to press stating:

“The police have invaded my secretariat, there are about 50 of them who are armed, and they are saying that they don’t want the protest tomorrow (Thursday, 29th March, 2018).

5. Tinubu Does Not Appreciate Obasanjo’s Letter Writing

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu took a dig at former President Obasanjo over his letter-writing, tagging his letter ‘bad-belle’ writer wondering if the latter “had not been there before”. The former president has in recent months tried to position himself as the de facto leader of the opposition to President Buhari. Tinubu is definitely not impressed.

Read what he said: “I remember my grandmother used to send me to a letter writer in the post office of those days and near the magistrate court. So somebody is writing letters these days, a letter of politics, as if they’ve never been there before. Bad belle letters.”

6. Saraki and Dogara are in the Political Wilderness

Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara have not managed to get themselves back into the mainstream of the APC after they partnered with opposition PDP lawmakers to get elected as the presiding officers of the 2 chambers of the National Assembly. Their absence at the Bola Tinubu Colloquium shows that they feel ostracized enough from the Buhari-Tinubu axis of power within the party to stay away altogether. It will be interesting to see what moves they will make as 2019 approaches.

7. Chief John Odigie-Oyegun’s Days as APC Chairman Look to be Ending Soon
Certain events are indicative of the state of political relationships and who is actually in power and those out of it. If Chief Oyegun could not find his way to the Colloquium of his party’s strongman, which event will he now attend? Deciding to miss the event was a big political blunder on the APC Chairman’s part. He should have learnt from Tinubu who continued to work with President Buhari even when they seemed to have diverged politically when the latter got sworn-in as president and started pandering to other interests.

8. Lagos, Sorry, Bourdillon is now the Political ‘Capital’ of Nigeria
Now that President Buhari has shown that he is firmly in Tinubu’s camp, practically every other politician who wants to achieve their political dreams through the APC will try at the very least to be in the good books of the ‘Lion of Bourdillon’ who has definitely found his roar back. You can be sure that many politicians who had been developing anti-Tinubu tendencies in the last 3 years will be finding ways to retrace their steps. Tinubu is a believer in ‘the more, the merrier’. He is likely to accept them.

9. The Opposition will have a tough Time Regaining Power in 2019

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu himself has said it: “that party (PDP), should forget it, they are not coming back”. A large part of the opposition’s calculations thus far had been premised on the perceived rift between President Buhari and Tinubu. Now that we all know the rift is gone, what is the opposition left with? Not much, except by some miraculous means they manage to wrest power from the APC in 2019.

10.Shutting Down Eko Hotel is Becoming Stale

It was Olamide the Nigerian rap champion of the moment who bragged about “shutting down Eko Hotel” (the convention centre). However, the place was packed to the rafters yesterday to the point of overflowing which points to the fact that, Lagos needs a bigger indoor events centre that is not owned by a religious organization. The Buhari-Tinubu shutdown of Lagos points to this and many in Nigeria and beyond would have taken note.

You should be more concerned about your own villages and your entire regional leadership emptiness. Your villages are the only region in Nigeria with zero political, social and economic power, your leaders are irrelevant in the Nigerian scheme of things across the board.

Your last leader, some clown called Kanu is hiding out in some cave in Afghanistan.

Myopic people everywhere. The powers that be had already chosen your next President and he will be speaking at the Chatham in less than 3 weeks.

By Abdulkabir Olatunji

Lagos, the centre of excellence is playing host to President Muhammadu Buhari and as expected there is a lot of chatter about this visit.

having taken time to closely follow this historic visit, these are my top 10 takeaways from the visit:

1. President Buhari is Likely to be Reelected for a 2nd Term

Regardless of your political inclination you should learn to read strategic political moves and if you understand how the president got elected in 2015 you will appreciate that he managed to galvanize majority of the power brokers that got him elected yesterday at the 10t h Bola Tinubu Colloquium. They are now firmly behind him and he looks unstoppable for 2019 barring any miracle of humungous proportions.

2. Bola Tinubu is the Most Influential Politician in Nigeria
It is almost useless to try to list who was present yesterday at the colloquium because anybody who is anybody was there bar a very small handful of people mainly former Heads of State and Presidents, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, APC Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun who seems to be losing out in the All Progressives Congress (APC) internal power struggle. Outside of these major players, practically everybody else who matters was there from traditional leaders to governors to the captains of Industry. They were all there to celebrate the man that President Buhari described as a ‘strategist’. No doubt, he is the leading political strategist of our time in Nigeria.

3. President Yemi Osinbajo is intent on Prosecuting Former President Goodluck Jonathan

Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo seems intent on exposing the alleged corruption of the former President, Goodluck Jonathan and some of his cronies. He again attacked the former president for looting the treasury.

Read some of his words at the event:

“And when we say that this same government that spent N139 Billion only on all of Agric, Power, Works and Housing, Transport, etc; spent between January 2015 and the elections, the sum of a N100 Billion in cash and 289 million dollars, altogether about a 100 Billion in cash, was released and spent, shared.

“This sum of money was in excess of the amount of money that was spent on Power, Works and Housing. And this is the point we are making, that there is no country in the world, and we must know this; there is no country in the world that would allow its resources to be plundered in the way our own resources were plundered and expect to be economically viable; it is not possible.

“Nigeria is unlike any other country because of the level of corruption that was perpetrated. We must stop that corruption and that is why we are so committed.

“When you fight corruption the way we are fighting it, corruption is going to fight back. The system would fight back. You will find that the fight-back is taking place everywhere, it is taking place on social media, it is taking place everywhere. But we are determined.”

How far he and the administration are determined to go, we shall see in the future.

4. Governor Ambode will stop at Nothing to Please his Political Benefactor

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is a direct product of the Tinubu brand of politics and it is obvious to see that he is taking every measure to honour the President who is obviously a key ally of his political benefactor; from declaring a work-free day for civil servants, to closing major roads to the extent that the president felt compelled to overrule some of the restrictions. The Ikeja computer village at was shut and the Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association felt the full weight of the government’s instruments of coercion over its planned protest over the new Land Use Charge rates which have become a source of conflict in Lagos. Security agents were deployed to the branch’s office and its chairman, Adeshina Ogunlana, confirmed the development to press stating:

“The police have invaded my secretariat, there are about 50 of them who are armed, and they are saying that they don’t want the protest tomorrow (Thursday, 29th March, 2018).

5. Tinubu Does Not Appreciate Obasanjo’s Letter Writing

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu took a dig at former President Obasanjo over his letter-writing, tagging his letter ‘bad-belle’ writer wondering if the latter “had not been there before”. The former president has in recent months tried to position himself as the de facto leader of the opposition to President Buhari. Tinubu is definitely not impressed.

Read what he said: “I remember my grandmother used to send me to a letter writer in the post office of those days and near the magistrate court. So somebody is writing letters these days, a letter of politics, as if they’ve never been there before. Bad belle letters.”

6. Saraki and Dogara are in the Political Wilderness

Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara have not managed to get themselves back into the mainstream of the APC after they partnered with opposition PDP lawmakers to get elected as the presiding officers of the 2 chambers of the National Assembly. Their absence at the Bola Tinubu Colloquium shows that they feel ostracized enough from the Buhari-Tinubu axis of power within the party to stay away altogether. It will be interesting to see what moves they will make as 2019 approaches.

7. Chief John Odigie-Oyegun’s Days as APC Chairman Look to be Ending Soon
Certain events are indicative of the state of political relationships and who is actually in power and those out of it. If Chief Oyegun could not find his way to the Colloquium of his party’s strongman, which event will he now attend? Deciding to miss the event was a big political blunder on the APC Chairman’s part. He should have learnt from Tinubu who continued to work with President Buhari even when they seemed to have diverged politically when the latter got sworn-in as president and started pandering to other interests.

8. Lagos, Sorry, Bourdillon is now the Political ‘Capital’ of Nigeria
Now that President Buhari has shown that he is firmly in Tinubu’s camp, practically every other politician who wants to achieve their political dreams through the APC will try at the very least to be in the good books of the ‘Lion of Bourdillon’ who has definitely found his roar back. You can be sure that many politicians who had been developing anti-Tinubu tendencies in the last 3 years will be finding ways to retrace their steps. Tinubu is a believer in ‘the more, the merrier’. He is likely to accept them.

9. The Opposition will have a tough Time Regaining Power in 2019

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu himself has said it: “that party (PDP), should forget it, they are not coming back”. A large part of the opposition’s calculations thus far had been premised on the perceived rift between President Buhari and Tinubu. Now that we all know the rift is gone, what is the opposition left with? Not much, except by some miraculous means they manage to wrest power from the APC in 2019.

10.Shutting Down Eko Hotel is Becoming Stale

It was Olamide the Nigerian rap champion of the moment who bragged about “shutting down Eko Hotel” (the convention centre). However, the place was packed to the rafters yesterday to the point of overflowing which points to the fact that, Lagos needs a bigger indoor events centre that is not owned by a religious organization. The Buhari-Tinubu shutdown of Lagos points to this and many in Nigeria and beyond would have taken note.

Amateur write-up

Buhari has at most, a 50% chance of coming back to power.
1. Tinubu is not Nigeria, he may be able to deliver a majority of SW votes bit that is all.

2. Buhari won in 2015 with the support of the elite and the votes of the masses. Today in 2018, the elite are against him in numbers : Obasanjo, TY Danjuma, Sultan of Sokoto, Unongo and other middle belt leaders, Atiku, IBB and by extension Abubakar.

3. The people have suffered greatly under Buhari and many who voted for him in 2015 will turn against him, while those who opposed him in the last election will certainly not be converted to his camp at this time.

4. The entire Christian community will vote against Buhari

5. Buhari will lose massively in three zones SS, SE NC

6. Buhari's opponent in 2019 doesn't have to win original on the first ballot. He simply has to deny Buhari
the chance to get 25% of the vote.

Buhari is facing an uncertain future.



2019 God will shock these men. They will know that indeed there is God.


In 2019 south south, south east, and middle belt will vote in block, and I don't see buhari getting anything from this three regions.



Then for core north, the president will share the votes with their elites opposed to him unlike 2015 where everyone supported him so I give him 70 to 60 percent of the vote, while his opponent I give 40 to 30 percent.



For south west I give him 60 to 50 percent of the vote factoring in other ethnicities residing in that region.

From all indication, buhari winning 2019 election infact looks impossible and most importantly the God factor. God will shock these men. For a long time, they have been playing and toying with the destinies of a great nation like this. The God of all the earth, will judge these men in 2019, even tinubu will not be spared. After this they will truly realize that there is a living God that rules in the affairs of men. And men will fear, tremble and quake before this God. God is not, has not and can never be man. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so is God's ways higher than man's ways.


And another thought;


God has been watching Nigeria for the past 50 years. The nation has been held in perpetual slow down without any concrete development for the common man. God has heard the groaning of the masses. A deliverer is coming. He will judge all these chartalans that has watched as millions lost there lives.
Nigeria will rise again to become the light she was called to be. I rest my case

Trash. Election is approaching and Tinubu has become relevant again. He will be discarded after the election. It is a pity that these Yoruba muslims can not see the hand writing on the wall.
