The North has clearly been targeted and marginalized by this administration. From reluctance to handle insecurity to implementing measures that are crippling agriculture.

Honestly, financial struggle is one of the worst experiences of a human being.

With each passing day, this man keeps proving he is not ready to be president. He is bereft of ideas, just following vibes.

I can't understand why you people are obsessed with political parties. APC this, PDP that, is it not people that make up the party. If tomorrow now your preferred candidate join the party, it will suddenly become different.

SmartPolician:
APC is a party that only attracts dubious people who know nothing about governance.

Make 1 USD equal to 1 naira first before saying what wailers will do.

You took something from N200 to N1300 and expect the world to clap for you. Wake up!

Na these ones na em really be 'tax payers'

Even if 1 naira becomes equal to 1 dollar, wailers will still wail.

All religions are useless,

You have about 1,500 days of pain left

I hate each passing day seeing tinubu as the president

The battle of Badr was a direct result of Muslims intercepting the caravan of Abu-suffyan (who was a pagan at the time) returning from Syria. Prophet Muhammad ordered them to do this knowing it would force the Quraish to retaliate and they did, exactly what he wanted.

The battle of Khandaq was a reprisal attack by the Quraish, for what happened in both Badr and Uhud. They lost a lot of their leaders in both wars.

As for fatahu Makkah, prophet Muhammad did it because he could. He has amassed a significant army, strong alliances and the Arab tribes were in disarray. He saw an opportunity and he took it using the excuse that the Quraish broke the treaty of huddaibiyya. But like I said, he only did it because he could bully his way into the city, since he had superior military strength.

This is a fact, I know as a devout Muslim you can't stand it, I was once like you.

By the way what about the wars the sahabas and their descendants continued with in Persia, Damascus, Jerusalem, North Africa and even here in Nigeria, did we all go and look for their trouble.

olayinka63:
Then you are a munafiq.ll your write-up are full of ignorance in display and falsehood. Let me point one..
You said all the war prophet Muhammad fought, he was the originator. So battle of khadaq that was fought at the door gate of Madinah where the prophet lived nko? So he initiated a war and the war fought in his door step? So can see that you're a daunce. Badr was fought at boundary of Madinah, the conquest of Makkah, a city where he was bonafide son and was driven away when. He came back to claim the city bloodless and you called that initiator? Well, I don't blame you, your upbringing in Islam was through ignorance and you're displaying it.
You don't worth to reply to abeg

I have already made the assertions, Islam was spread through violence. Fatahu Makkah was a Muslim aggression, war against Persian empire, Roman empire, North Africa, and Central Africa was a Muslim aggression. Please if you are not knowledgeable enough to engage in this conversation please shift front.

Basic123:
The onus is on the claimant to prove.

You didnt prove anything

Yes of course. So how is that a problem?

nairamaniac:
You are deviating.

U initially alluded the positive results of the US intervention to Tinubu's Achievements.
How and why?

They intervened due to incompetencies and percieved-Nigerian-Government-compromise in the terrorrr acts that were going on for years.

So why and how would it be Tinubu's Achievement?

[/b]Tinubu infact was a beneficiary of the US achievement[b]

Wallahi, I was born a Muslim by Muslim parents, raised as a Muslim for 28 years of my life. I was 13 when I first recited the Quran cover to cover, I memorize at least 27 hizb of the Quran when I was 19-21. I loved prophet Muhammad more than myself. I studied Tafsir, tauheed, akhdari, qawa'id, ishmawi, izziyya, risala and muwatta'i Malik.

I am more knowledgeable than 75-80% Muslims in Nigeria, at least.

If you want to engage to engage in a religious discourse based on Sunnah and not insults, then I dare you. Of all the things I said refute one, just one.

olayinka63:
Un
Ignorant steering his fellow ignorants. For your small brain now, you know about Islam? Hmm. Clap for yourself for uttering rubbish

Please I dare you to prove any of my assertions wrong.

Basic123:
Well,you are wrong in most of your assertions.

I have come to the conclusion that it is Islam that is the problem. The religion was established and spread in violence. From the battle of Badr to Uhud and to the day Prophet Muhammad conquered Mecca, violence has been ingrained into the very fabric of Islam. Muslims are quick to say prophet Muhammad fought those wars as self defense, but never once did the polytheists take the fight to him, he was always the one instigating those wars. Even after prophet Muhammad died, the sahabas never stopped, they kept on fighting from Persia to the Roman empire, killing and forcing people to join their religion. They crossed to North Africa and killed off the entire indigenous black population and settled those lands. Usman Danfodio was sponsored by the Arabs to carry out one of the worst massacres in the history of northern Nigeria. They killed and forced people to join their religion.

If we are going by the pure teachings of Islam what Boko Haram is doing is exactly in accordance with the teaching of Islam and in fact moderate Muslims are hypocrites. they are afraid of the Shari'a law, which is the supreme law of Islam. Democracy is the direct opposition to the Shari'a and any Muslim who practices democracy has refuted the teachings of Allah and prophet Muhammad. This is a fact.

So, Islam is the real tumor, so long as it exists groups like maitasine, Boko Haram, ISWAP, Al-qaeda, El-shabab, Lakurawa, and their grand patron ISIS will always arise in different forms or names, especially in vulnerable countries like ours, because the ideologies will always remain.

Honestly, he just might be.
Everyone thinks it's easy to be the president, but if you were to give them the opportunity they would realize it not all rainbows and sunshine. Buhari made so much noise before becoming president, but ended up being the worst president in recorded Nigeria history. Goodluck Jonathan was a good man, but couldn't hold his ground, he was consistently frustrated by Northern politicians. Yaradua had a bit of everything, but unfortunately didn't live long, Obj is the origin of our problems.

Tinubu is not a good man, but he is practical, intelligent and strategic.

Before he came into power I was horrified that a man like Tinubu was going to be president, I couldn't stand looking at his posters and I felt like I wanted to vomit anytime I see his face.

Even now, I still can't look at his face for 2 seconds, but I realize now that none of the other contenders would have handled things better than him, not Atiku, not Peter Obi and not Kwankwaso. They are all making noise, you give them the position they will all dance to the tunes of the cabals and upper class.

Una really hate this country to the point wey be say una prefer make people dey die every day than make the terrorism end.

So what do you want the government to do? reject the help of the US, who has the most sophisticated military in the world, and continue fighting a loosing battle they have been fighting for 17 years. For what? So people like you can label it as accolade. You no really get sense, in fact, this one no be lack of sense, na bitterness wey you dey harbour for this country na em dey do you.

nairamaniac:
That's not achievement.

That's opportunity meeting tolerance-limit

If your wife at home was always beating you up.
And your loud cries were disturbing the neighbors for years.

Then your disturbed neighbor intervenes by coming to arrest your wife to solve all the disturbances.


Would that be your own achievement or accolade??

Dey use sense naaaaa

Na wa oo. No be say the girl even fine like that oo.

I no follow you drag again. You are living in wonderland.

advanceDNA:
See… there will always be exceptions and pple who break laws… thats doesn't mean there shouldn't be safety laws….
Try and enter any pharmacy in nigeria and ask for those drugs i listed… no one will sell it to you …unless they know u… that to tell u the laws work and reduce access … but of course not 100percent because there will always be law breakers
I have already told u… once one or two pple get arrested everybody will straighten up because seller will be afraid nafdac decoy shoppers are everywhere.

This agbo/concortion sellers are even the easiest… task force will just start arresting them on the street… u wont see any of them again…..

The way you are talking am sure you didn't grow up or live in Nigeria.

So you think Agbo sellers, local kiosk owners, and road side vendors etc, a lot of whom may not even be formally educated, will be the ones asking or profiling those under 21.

The diazepam, tramadol and codeine you are talking about, if you want 100 packs today-today you will get it, in fact they can even do home delivery for you, with just a phone call.

advanceDNA:
Yes they can.. sellers will be mandated to ask for ID and also profile kids they feel arent up to 21 years old with doctored ID cards… this is the standard everywhere… nigeria is too slack with alcohol control……
NAFDAC does this successfully with pharmacy for control drugs like diazepam, codein, tramadol…… they use decoy customers to ask for these drugs under control list….once one or two pple fall for it and get arrested, everybody will lock up sharppaly

.there is doctored ID everywhere sir… even abroad thats why sellers are expected to profile kids even when they bring ID but they look like less than 21 years old


Which bottle of alcohol is 1500?? Everything is expensive now ooooo… Of course some will still drink……..still there is no how access will not significantly reduce for kids if sachets are off the streets…

What a joke. First of all NAFDAC can't possibly enforce age access laws. This is a country where 15-16 year old kids have voters card and participate in elections, talk less of buying alcohol.
And if you think children can't afford 1,500 or 2,500 for alcohol, then you don't know children of nowadays. Same children that are now spending thousands of naira to buy different grades of weed and drugs.
Those who will drink will drink, in fact, bottle alcohol will even make them more indulgent.

advanceDNA:
The move was never to control adult’s alcohol intake.. adults will surely adjust by buying alcohol in bottles..

They mentioned its for controlling children's easy access to alcohol….. with one hundred naira any kid can buy those things in satchet since its every where unlike bigger bottles that are more expensive and found only in shops where nafdac can enforce age access laws

I don't understand the obsession of NAFDAC with sachet Alcohol. Banning it will never reduce the volume of Alcohol people drink. In fact, I think sachet Alcohol helps people take smaller volumes and regulate their drinking. The moment it is banned they will just move up to buying bigger bottles, because people who drink will always drink.
Now imagine entering a commercial bus and you see a 750ml bottle of Chelsea or Action bitters positioned on the dashboard.
The only possible benefit banning sachet Alcohol has is that it will help reduce the environmental pollution polymer sachets cause. If that is the reason why they are doing it, then it is reasonable. But if it's to make people reduce or stop drinking, then it will be one of the most useless intervention by NAFDAC.

Indeed. It is those who live in a cocoon and think Nigeria starts and ends in their states that say their candidates lost because of rigging.

Oya we don agree. Do your worst

Freshandfitpod:
according to report only 70 Muslims were deleted while the Christians are uncounted for because they are too many and most were all Locked in Churches before setting it on fire. So it a Christian genocide

Na everything una dey use do religion and politics. The 160+ Muslims wey dem kpai for kwara those one's na watin.

Freshandfitpod:
Another Christians genocide live in living colours..

So many people are waking up to the lies of religion, especially online. But in reality this country is still neck-deep in religion. Today is Sunday and my street is empty, just few people and shops open, the rest don go church.

Nevertheless, a lot of people are now starting to ask questions, especially this Gen Z. It is only a matter of time, the days of religion in Africa are numbered.

Of course he has. But he has to pick someone who has the popularity to win from the North. And as things stand in APC, there is shortage of such people. Certainly not Shettima, that won't fly.

bazoodo:
Kimwho told you Tinubu doesn't have his candidate in mind ?

You really try. All this to prove Real betis is a big team. In the history of football 'fanhood' never have I ever heard anyone call real betis a big team, you're the very first.

One thing I would tell you is that 'big' is a relative term, even Enugu rangers and Kano pillars are big teams.

In fact going by your assessment, every single top-flight team is a big team because they are all big in their own ways.

If not that you like argument very well, you will understand that when I say Real betis is a small team, it is relative to who they are in Spain. At best you can say they are decent side or an average side in Spain but never one of the 'big team's. Never! In fact some people people are even reluctant to label the Valencia's and the Villarreal's as big teams talk more of betis, who are just even starting to find their feet in Laliga, few years ago. A team that has been relegated nothing less than 10 times is the team is the team you want me to call a big team in Spain "Tufiakwa"

SoliBayNG:
By what yardstick are such clubs small clubs? You give me the vibe of someone that hasn't watched football for long, cos I'm pretty sure you cant even remember when a team like Deportivo was a force in Europe.

You seem to be having an issue with the English language. "Big" and "bigger". In that instance, what you say holds true; they can't compare, madrid et al are bigger. But saying they are wrong may be your "feeling", but it doesn't hold true on any level. By what measure are they small? Revenue? Stadium capacity? Ex-players? Current players? Annual budget?

Anyway, let me just drop this here for you.

This is the IFFHS rankings:
"Athletic Bilbao (Top 30): Listed among the top Spanish teams, appearing in the top 30 of the IFFHS World Club Ranking in 2024 and 2025.

Real Betis & Real Sociedad: These clubs also feature in the upper rankings of Spanish clubs in the IFFHS lists.

Key IFFHS 2024/2025 Data:
As of May 2025, 4 Spanish clubs were in the top 20 of the IFFHS World Club Ranking."

But my man here says there are only 3 big clubs in Spain?


Lets go further. Look at trophies won by clubs other than Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico.

Shocker, Bilbao has won more than your Athletico eh?

A "tiny" club like Zaragoza has won 9 major honours, while teams like Madrid and Barça existed.

Interesting much?

This Iran don see something. Upon all the sanctions and devaluation of their currency to almost nothing, US no want let them breath. How bad can they be?

Ribadu that cannot even win Adamawa state. Dey play.

OnyeObowo1:
It's a lie.

Rubadu is already chosen by tinibu
Reason kwankwoso or elrufai was booted out
Any strong man in north will be booted out

Your points are valid.
But we are operating under the premise that Obi emerges as the ADC candidate (I do admit it is very unlikely), but if he does and Kwankwaso joins (again, another assumption) and Obi picks him as VP, and Atiku supports them, then it will be a very viable pathway for the opposition to win on popular votes (that doesn't mean they would be announced as winners).
If Obi can perform as well as he did in the southeast, south-south, and even southwest (Lagos, I mean), then you have to see that with Atiku and Kwankwaso campaigning for him in the north (regardless of the northern votes being divided), there is a real chance for the opposition to emerge victorious. All this is just speculation anyways, and I don't think those three will ever work together, but the fact is if they were to do, it would be very unwise for Tinubu to underestimate them.

NB: Personally, I don't care who wins; they are all the same. Nothing significant will change. Ours is a fundamental problem, not a politician problem. Even Jesus Christ and Muhammed cannot solve Nigeria's problem as it is now. Because as they are doing one thing, there is one director, one senator, one commissioner, one chief judge, one army general, one pastor, one imam, and one state governor somewhere doing another thing.

seunmsg:
Thanks for your response and willingness to engage without lacing your response with insult.

1. Your assumption of a two horse race is wrong. Atiku will contest the ADC primary and win the ticket. If there is ever going to be an Obi/ Kwankwaso ticket, it will very likely be on the platform of another party.

2. In politics, interest overrides all other considerations. What’s in an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket for Atiku? Absolutely nothing. In the unlikely event of an Obi primary election victory, the Atiku camp will have to be placated with the party’s VP. Basically, Atiku will be begged to come up with the VP candidate. That person won’t definitely be kwankwaso.

3. Let’s even assume somehow that ADC agree to the ticket, what’s in that arrangement for the core north? Why will the largely Muslim north abandon the MM ticket of Tinubu and the 100% assurance of getting power back in 2031 only to support another southern Christian till 2035? Why?

4. Finally, what is the political weight of Kwankwaso in the north considering the overall political interest of the north? Those that voted for Atiku in 2023 simply wanted power retained in the north. Those votes can’t be transferred to a northern VP candidate. Kwankwaso as presidential candidate will win Kano easily but as VP to a Southern candidate, he will struggle to win Kano and lose all other core northern states to APC.

Conclusion: There is no pathway to an Obi/ Kwankwaso ticket irrespective of whether it’s a three or two horse race.

Dey play.
So you honestly think that it is wishful thinking that an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket in ADC, backed by Atiku, who where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th candidates from the last election can defeat Tinubu on popular votes. Wow! you don't even need to be a genius to figure that out, it's simple mathematics. I am not saying INEC will announce them as winners, even if they win the popular votes. That's an entirely different conversation.

Burob:
razzness is just wishful thinking for his Igbo uncle Obi, there is no path whatsoever to victory, pure hallucination @ best.
