SmartPolician:
Daddy Freeze wants everyone to see him as that man who is apolitical. They should continue until the day insecurity will hit them.

It's only in a country like Nigeria where a failure like Tinubu will be proud to seek a reelection. It's despicable that this country has no leadership standards whatsoever!

Funny thing is, he's 90% sure of "winning"

decatalyst:
What is wrong in this dude's head.

Does he know anything called "diplomacy" or he just hell bent on destroying the world?


Democracy my ass...

Is it democratic to threaten sovereign Nation, and cease an elected leader?

I know his supporters will not find anything wrong with this until it is directed at them.

Did you actually watch the clip?? OP sensationalized a very mundane comment. Go watch the video

North been asleep for 8 years (Buhari) you think they cannot wake up now and resume their business as usual ?

That's enough to keep any southern president awake at night.

A muslim-muslim ticket?

BrickandLace:
Post election violence 2011.
Many dead, including 13 youth corpers...

A Southern Christian defeated a Northern Muslim. A muslim-muslim ticket getting reelected will NOT be massively protested by North

nairalanda1:
Good afternoon, professor of tropical medicine

Mind you we're talking of DEATH, not just getting sick

nairalanda1:
The rumours also mentioned alcoholic poisoning which results from really drinking too much at a time

it is almost impossible for a 21-year-old footballer to die from drinking just alcohol in, say, a club. Alcohol poisoning can occur in competitive drinking or wnen people are challenged or forced to drink enormous amounts of alcohol IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME! If drinking normally they'll pass out long before death stage

So even Russians manufacturer produce fake products

Obviously made in China

What is "their business as usual"? When has the North ever massively protested even a governor?

BrickandLace:
In a sane society these are all impeachable offences..

Not in Nigeria. The Nigerian president is kept in check only by his conscience - and massive public outcry/protests (which won't happen because the SE will stay out if it, SS and SW won't do it, and North don't do it!)

BrickandLace:
Even the largest bulldozer must run out fuel at some point.
I blame the pseudo-senate for this.

Even if you have a working Senate president, the president can tame him by simply withdrawing his security detail or sicking EFCC, CPC, or some other of the many like agencies he controls on him, and there's nothing anyone can do about it

Streetinvestor2:
We have vowed to resist rigging in 2027.let see how many his police and military can kill starting from the north. Trump will be watching for human rights violations and threat to democracy. What is the population of his police and military. They no reach 1 million. When e red.i will see the northern military that will obey orders to shot thr people in nigeria

Who is this "we"? That is the question. SE will once again choose to stay out of it. SW will definitely not protest. That leaves the North, who are not known for massive political protests.

BrickandLace:
Is he Joseph Mary and Jesus Christ?

Nobody can have all that power unless he's been permitted by God himself.
Something must give some of the time.

He actially is - the way Nigeria foolishly copied American powerful presidency without having any of the countless conditions that keep the president in check. Funny thing is, Tinubu doesn't have to actually give any directions. Go read why APC said they couldn't clear Fubara - because the president's BODY LANGUAGE indicates he doesn't want him to go for second term!

Moroccoguy:
You need to read the court judgment that produces Hope, they didn't record a whole senatorial district results and they announced winner.

You simply don't know what you're talking about. Hope is a perfect example how someone who OBVIOUSLY wrote results can get away with it if the courts back him.
See what happened below. Duplicate results from an obviously compromised police officer. SC refused to even casually examine the result sheets that were full of alterations, errors, and over-voting, clearly manipulated to just pass Ihedooha's total!

lionshare:
Since you claim Wike’s results were written in some office, what stopped APC Lagos from doing the same? Or do you think they’re happy about losing Lagos? And as for Hope, you are clearly misinformed.

My friend you must not only control the apparatus of rigging but USE them! Where's Ambode today? Popularity has nothing to do with it. If someone writes election results, only thing you can do is take them to court. If they also control the courts, that's the only "popularity" they need. Hence dictators, despite being unpopular, routinely "receive" 98% of the votes.

nairalanda1:
Oh yes, it does work that way, y'know...

Anything is possible but it is extremely unlikely that a healthy 21-year-old died of food poisoning and no one else even got sick

nairalanda1:
Malaria can kill you if your immunity is gone, and yes , food poisoning exists.

And yes, alcohol poisoning exists. ALCOHOL Is a POISON. In the right amount, it can kill. (Once had a case in a hospital I worked in where a guy was brought in dead because of alcohol poisoning).

I hate saying this, as it is pride speaking, but I know more about these things than you do, as it is part of my work to deal with things like this.

You honestly talk like you don't know what you're talking about. What does "if your immunity is gone" mean? If you're raised in West Africa you won't die from just Malaria even if you're gone 10 years.

Who said alcohol poisoning doesn't exist? But it is almost impossible for a 21-year-old footballer to die from drinking just alcohol in, say, a club. Simple. It can happen if they're challenged or forced to drink enormous amount of alcohol in a short period of time!

BrickandLace:
Only when you hit the streets to tell INEC the results is fake and unpopular.

Sit at home like last time and you'll know rigging can win.

If you hit the streets Tinubu's NPF will shoot you.
If you go to court Tinubu's SC will dismiss your case

SixSeven:
What Obasanjo could not do well in his do or die is what we are seeing here... It is a pattern that is predictable. They can see the handwriting on the wall.

Wike is proof that Bola is not a true democrat and the power he has today is for his selfish reasons. For Bola to stake his head in Rivers and declare a state of emergency but he never did in Plateau, Niger and everywhere else there has been mass killing is proof that politics is his favorite subject, not governance. This further confirms that Tinubu did not win Rivers state so he has to use force in the state.

Tinubu's path to victory is

1. Voter apathy

2. Divided opposition

3. Force/threat (he has been using this in Lagos for long but with federal resources, he now has governors like Okpebolo, Wike, SP Akpabio who's always assuring that he will win and others to threaten people to vote him or else)

4. Money (what's your price? This is why he and Atiku are two sides of a coin. In a poor corrupt country with little morals, many are willing to sell their convictions for the highest bidder)

5. Propaganda (gaslighting, see how they celebrate the uncompleted coastal road, they will accept no responsibility but blame everyone else using religion, tribe and other distraction from the main issue). The way they counted fake millions of vote is gaslight in. Gaslighting is the manipulation by psychological means of a person (or group) which causes them to doubt themselves, their capabilities or their sense of reality.

Anybody who can go as far as dressing agberos as fake bishops will do ANYTHING to win!

Like I said, the right body.

Rags are rags. African attire wannabe made by Hollywood😅

nairalanda1:
As someone who works in medicine, it is partly correct...it arises from food that is contaminated. The food can be properly cooked , but once it is contaminated with certain bacteria and fungi, it can cause issues

And yes, it is fatal. Per the WHO, 420000 deaths occur annually from food poisioning.

So it killed him and who else? Food poisoning doesn't kill only one person

nairalanda1:
It doesn't take decades to lose your immunity to many of the communicable illnesses and diseases we got here. As I even pointed out it takes a few months to lose immunity to malaria fever staying abroad. The guy had been there for 3 years at most

Also, remember one of the rumored causes of death was alcohol poisioning which has nothing to do with how long he stayed oversease (alcohol can kill if your blood alcohol level is too too high...high enough to depress your entire nervous system to a point where the heart and breahting stops working)....and food posioning, which can kill , even those who never left the country.

You don't know what you talking about. Basically, Malaria is the only disease and if you grow up in W. Africa Malaria cannot kill you. Traveler's diarrhea is possible but not if you've only been away 3 years.

They mean poisoned alcohol not alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is almost impossible for a healthy 21-year-old. He'll pass out long before that

Stephen0mozzy:
The right body will rock that cloth like a queen.

Rock something that looks like rags😅

APCNig:
.
cry well well. Shebi it is Tinubu that helped Atiku to rig out other jesters in the ADC primary. You will cry for long. Tinubu is returning even if Heaven falls. And in 2031, Tinubu will handover to another Yoruba man from Kwara or Kogi State to take the slot of the North Central and a Yoruba man from Lagos will be the VP. That is when you will know that we have come to take everything.

🤣 "We", when hunger is showing him shege😅

lionshare:
With hope, it was the courts—Can you actually tag a court decision as rigging?

As for Rivers State, it’s a prime example that you can’t rig an election where you’re unpopular. Without Wike, there’s no way APC would have won. This means Wike is quite popular in Rivers State, and that popularity made the result possible.

This is laughable. Wike was not on the presidential ballot. Infact Wike was in a totally different party! The result was written in an office.
Hope's was also written in an office. Only thing SC did was allow it to stand. They're not the ones that rigged

Perewenkle1:
There are many African tailors overseas that can make a perfect beautiful Nigerian outfits for you, dose’t have to be a Nigerian tailor. Google Africa tailors where you reside.

And it'll look something like this:

nairalanda1:
Yes, once a Nigerian goes abroad and stays there for some time, his or her immunity to many of the infections and communicable diseases that we have here would have gone. Even Malaria...it takes just a few months for any accquired immunity to go.]

That's why Nigerians comming back from over there to visit should be very careful about their health. One cannot do as they did before they left.

This has nothing to do with it. How many decades has a 21-year-old possible stayed abroad??

aswani:
Well said, those same friends would have more to gain by him being alive so why would they poison him?

Being an athlete and living abroad, he won't have the same tolerance for food that they, presumably living in Nigeria, would have.

How can you write the bolded?! How many times have we read best friend kill despite all they get from their best friend. Jealousy doesn't calculate all that.

Your second paragraph is funny. How long has he been abroad? Even people who have been gone for decades don't die of food poisoning

nairalanda1:
It had nothing to do with his friends, otherwise many of our top players past and present would have long since been ded too. Oshimen still keeps friends in Lagos. Why haven't they done him in, lol?

Wrong! Once you're established it's too late. When you have to be extremely careful is when you're up and comming, when it looks like you'll become big

lionshare:
Rigging can’t win where you’re unpopular — it’s practically impossible.

Really? How did Hope go from FOURTH place to governor? How popular was Tinubu in Rivers that he "won" by landslide? Systemic rigging is not concerned with popularity because powers that be write whatever they wish as the result

Circassian:
Are you new on nairaland?

The guy is simply been sarcastic

How?? See below

One-word answer:
RiGGING!
Directly and indirectly

So it all boils down to number 4, even if opposition unites tghtly, and there is no tribalism!
