Even if it is the reason he is been beaten,I don't really think is right,people have the right to campaign for him but nobody should be coerce to vote for him. Violence is not the solution,we will get our voters cards ready,prepare to protect our votes at all cost and send him packing from Aso Rock without any form of violence.
My take!

Una be mumu no be today.

If someone you know has been recently slaughtered due to insecurity permitted by this govt, you will know that citizens should be at war with anybody supporting this wicked govt.

Violence is the answer to violence.

Exousiang01:
1. If the form was N5k do you know how many idiots would have bought it?
Do you know how much chaos it would cause to have over 1000 people running for primaries in one Federal Constituency

2. The price is put high because the party needs money to run it's affairs.
Primary the elections automatically means general elections are around the corner, every party needs money.

During the 2023 election the those who bought form for presidential election were about 20, even Yahaya Bello and Onu bought forms, That was their contribution to the party for the elections.
Not everything is as you see in politics.

Form is another way of getting money into the party treasury without raising dust

Party members pay dues to support the activities of the party so..

Also, I'm not saying it should be as low as 5k, something like 500k is fair.

Because when someone has too pay 10m just for form, no campaign yet, he will begin to see the office as a financial investment that must bring returns.

Just saying though

MT:
You seem to be the most reasonable among those who replied me, so I would respond to what you typed.

Star this post for the future, by 12noon to 1pm on the election day, the game is over. Tinubu has won.

You referred to "rigging" - so let's agree with you that Tinubu will rig, so by your calculation, the oppositions are saint - they won't rig, right?

So, you ask for infrastructure, yet you condemned the construction of coastal roads. How contradictory can you be? Go and explain this to people of akwa ibom, cross river etc, that they should be denied access to Lagos via coastal road, and come and explain how you will survive being lynched. No matter what Tinubu does, he can't be right with you but it doesn't matter - he will win squarely without your support..

Did you miss it yesterday? Nigeria military and the US neutralised a terrorist yesterday. No country can guarantee 100 percent security. Hey, have you ever been to the US? Visit the US if you are fortunate enough to be issued a visa, which I doubt anyway and let's revisit this conversation in term of security.

If you are a student of engineering, electricity is not something you invest on and start generating the dividends almost immediately. It takes time. It takes process. Be educated.

Under Tinubu leadership, Nigeria has attracted over 20 billion dollars foreign direct investment already. Let me point you to a reference in case you miss the good news - https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/tinubu-nigeria-attracted-20b-foreign-investments-this-year/amp/

I thought you said no foreign investor would come to Nigeria. Take that back. We are moving, you better join the train or be left behind

In case you also missed it, Airbus has made a proposal to make Nigeria it's maintenance hub in the region. Do you know what impact that will.make? Oh you don't believe, read this - https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/880155-tinubu-hails-airbus-plan-for-aircraft-maintenance-hub-in-nigeria.html

You ignorantly alleged APC was paying me to defend them here, let me ask are you doing it for free for Pit OBi ?

Next time, stop name calling. I will let that pass but you would have it "hot hot" if you repeat the same mistake in the future. Be guided

Let me first sneeze your ear and say this; not everyone is a fanatic like you.

I don't really car who rigs or not, if obi can rig his way in and fix the country, I'm all for it.

Afterall when tinubu rigged and entered in 2023 I believed in him even though I didn't vote for him.

About infrastructure, I know yall paid boys very well. Yall pretend you cannot reason critically meanwhile na brown envelope envelope una thinking.

I doubt if you stayed in class during economic lectures because you seem like back then you were already jumping fence out of school to follow politicians for crumbs.

But in case you stayed in class, you would have know that resources are scarce, it is highly recommended to draw a scale of preference so that the items of top priority can be sorted first.

Some weeks ago, it was all over the news that there's epileptic power supply due to debts owed by fg.

Apart from that, apparently there are lots of infrastructural upgrades required in that sector that govt is intentionally ignoring that just require govt financial commitment.

But they're quick to fun a costal road that wasn't nigerias problem or priority until tinubu came.

Coincidentally, he also awarded the contract to his know cronies.

You cannot make sense when you meet sensible citizens, yo tinubu die hard boys.

About the military neutralising.. bla bla, while I agree that no where is safe 100%, your pragmatism on the issue is in bad faith. Everybody knows that Nigeria is a peculiarly unsafe place to be. The same US you mentioned won't stop warning its citizens to stay away from Nigeria. So don't be ridiculous.

There's even a recent stat that made the news recently that Nigeria has lost citizens to local insecurity with numbers comparable to those in war turn countries. And we're not officially at war.

On the investors you're foaming in the corner of your mouth about, we are already too apc to your gimmicks. The false data style, investors on paper that will never really take off.

Was it not in this country that buhari used nigerian Air ways to Same the whole country? Una be mugu.

Except they are coming to sell imported finished product as usual, they will not come.

Nobody, no industrial entity that is likely to be of economic advantage to us will truly come until we can provide stable electricity.

And to state it unequivocally, you are a paid apc parrot, the cheat type that doesn't even carry the party card. Not allowed access to important meetings, not really getting any real bread except for 30k monthly, heard they increased it to 35k now though.

Just get a life. I have friends who are tinubu fans but are quite sober and laid back at this time. Though they still want tinubu to win but they're not doing to much on the issue because even tinubu is not proud of his own score card.

That's the reason it's easy to spot paid guys like you. The energy you put in defending this manifest failure is a giveaway

bjdon:
Electricity generation has been removed from the exclusive list. Have you complained to your state governor?
Nigerians need to understand that 8 years of Buhari totally finished Nigeria. The country was effectively bankrupt. Reform is never easy, but its starting to bear fruit. The Niara is now relatively stable, even with the war in Iran. I don't really like Tinubu, but in all honesty he's the best we have right now.

You guys are cunning.

The Naira is stable but at a ridiculously high spot. Does it have to be? No

Tinubu jacked it up by forcing a floating currency policy. That policy was economic suicide for a country that is not industrialised.

The policy is supposed to be a long term goal after govt must have repositioned the economy to be industrialised to a reasonable extent.

If indeed buhari's mismanagement of the economy is the cause of all these problems, why is tinubu not prosecuting the culprits and recovering stollen funds so that govt can stop borrowing and over taxing the masses?

Buhari was a failure yet apc recently gave him a cheap ticket to represent at the nass.

Yall supporting apc, una know say una dey whine us but no problem.

If not that free fair election in 2027 is not assured, una for no get mind dey campaign for tinubu.

I will vote for a yahoo boy before considering a vote for tinubu. That man heart na stone.

MT:
Though Tinubu victory is non negotiable, he will win hands down but let me react to your post.

Nigerians have the choice to continue in the path of the past and eventually go bankrupt or chart a new course , different from the past, which is sustainable and open the country to development.

Choose your choice carefully

First of all, he will not win hands down unless he rigs. Let's be clear on that.

Which new course is tinubu charting man?

What king of stupid investors will come to a country without stable electricity in 2026.

No electricity, no security. What new course are you talking?

They are busy constructing coastal road as a vessel to embezzle funds without really empowering the economy.

For any country that wants to develop, the first none negotiable infrastructure is stable electricity.

Tinubu has spent 3 years in govt and has not produced any result regarding electricity, just same old sh1t.

I know yall who talk like this are paid to do so but we will still reply you to kill your evil narrative

okomile:
U vote
U no vote
Pesin wet go win go win
Just thank God for life and food u see chop

We go survive it all. Amin

This na senselexx talk,

Do that if you want to but stop discouraging those who want to fight for a change.

We already no God is not going to come and fix nigeria, we have to fight for it.

Afterall, it has happened in other countries through history.

Keep your slav* mentality to yourself

SoNature:
Tinubu has never been than man who banks on getting votes based on love or performance. He often banks on vote-buying, tribalism, intimidation and suppression to win elections. Given the amount he controls, it will be extremely difficult to stop him in 2027

This is one issue I hope Nigerians are paying attention to as we approach 2027 elections.

Instead of the usual rhetoric getting ready wit our pic, we need to know that it goes beyond that.

The recently amended electoral process 2026 is a very fraudulent document that no dust is being raised about.

The question of whether or not majority of Nigerians are ready to vote against tinubu is a big YES.

But it goes beyond that. Its more of; are we battle ready to protect out votes??

LordBiden:
The problem of Nigeria is not something any of the incoming candidates can solve infact not even peter obi.
The structure of the country itself won't even allow it to progress.

Current presidential system we practicing is too expensive.

What do we even need a bicameral legislature for?
Legislators should be working part time.

We should go back to parliamentary system of government.

We should a create a new constitution with stiffer penalties for corruption.

My bro,

Let's be clear with our thoughts.

It is untrue that none of the candidates can solve nigeria's problems. Untrue especially for obi.

They can if they want to.

You've mentioned one critical thing. Cut down on govt spending.

What stops a president from sponsoring an executive Bill to the nass proposing a unicameral legislature (meaning way fewer legislators)?

What stops a president from doing the same to propose 60% cut on salaries AND ALLOWANCES of all politicians or better still politicians should earn on the same salary scale as civic servants.

Let the president do this and let the legislature now be the one to frustrate the Bills, then the Nigerian masses will see the faces of the lawmakers who will argue against such bills and the masses will be incited to take up the fight.

At least, the president would be said to have set the ball rolling even if there will be resistance, he has cleared his own name.

So let's stop the narrative of 'nobody can fix nigeria'. It's the lie they want you to believe so that yall can accept hardship as a normal thing

Mani100:
Will you give the average mans child 10million for nomination and interest form

I think the right question is, why does the nomination and interest form cost 10M for wanting to 'serve your country'?

Isn't that a way to systemically keep upright people out of the race?

Nigerian is morally bankrupt and things will only get worse.

ireonGee:
Sponsored posts.So easy to see.

So in your mind nobody organically likes obi enough to make a post like that?

Just because you are a paid online mercenary does not mean genuine supporters don't exist.

You too reason am, if someone makes a post supporting tinubu for another term with all the failures he has recorded, should we not call that person in for psychiatric assessment?

A govt continues to wickedly impoverish its people without remorse but you are surprised that govt is despised by the people. Kudus to you.

If tinubu cannot do anything different to stop the now worsened killing of Nigerians, he should go back home.

If he cannot cannot fix the economy without without over-borrowing and under delivering priority projects (like stable power across all nigeria), he should go back home.

If tinubu's idea of enduring the pain of reforms only applies to the masses (who are innocent and uninvolved in the looting that crippled nigeria) but does not apply to the elites (who used greedy looting to destroy the economy in the first place), then tinubu should pack his bags from aso rock and go back home.

All the corruption and looting in nnpcl and have not ceased and perhaps even greater now, but the pains of the masses have been increased.


Tinubu has tried and failed, let us truly obi too. It's a simple ask.

ElSudani:
You and your type are the people talking nonsense. How long do you think it took countries like China, Singapore and South Korea to turn around their economies? Three years?
You all need to calm down and stop looking at everything in terms of politics and what you can gain now.
Building a prosperous country is not without serious heavy lifting which many of the so called politicians are not willing to do.
They will rather pacify you with nonsense knowing you don't know any better.

This is what we know you to do, evade issue based question.

Point to the things that this administration has been doing with all the funds from loans and subsidy removal. Answer.

Nobody is saying reforms should not come with pains, but from all indications, this tinubu reform is a fraud.

This govt is simply a black hole swallowing all national savings and loans.

Electricity zero, oil industry full of corruption as always, health care absolute catastrophe, education laughable so what exactly is it that they have improved on.

Security f9, I almost forgot.

I don't know the kind of spirit of mediocrity that makes you people praise this tinubu guy.

It just has to be brown envelope. Can't be anything else.

SonOfDSoil01:
indeed, and yet he couldn’t develop tiny Anambala to attract investors and destinations choice for economic migrants……pls list his landmarks achievements in infrastructure and human capital development and how he turn around the economy of Anambala in 8yrs as governor? he was not even in the top 5 best governors of his time where we have fashola of Lagos, akapbio of akwa ibom and ameachi of rivers who made marks and had visible landmarks, yet you think such failure as what it takes to make any meaningful investment in 4yrs?😂😂😂 we know you clowns are desperate to have an ibo plesident but obi is bad market and no one is buying his Lies…..the religious propaganda, which he used to sway Christian votes won’t work for him in 2027 and he would record lesser vote than he did in 2023 and still end up a distant third, winning the Bronze medal

No be una fault, it's because nigeria is a lawless country and real votes are not allowed to count. If not, people like you will not have the energy or audacity to be making a case for failure and insisting this current govt will return in 2027.

The ones you mentioned, how have they turned their states into investment destinations? joker

Even the lagos you mentioned, lagos is not what it is commercially because of the brilliance of any governor, it is the design of the colonial powers that lagos should be the commercial nerve of Nigeria.

Generally, with the fraudulent constitution and false federalism yall practice in nigeria, there's little a state governor can do to bring real development to his state.

During obi's time as gov, electricity wasn't in the concurrent list so he couldn't fix it.

Because of lack of resourse control, states don't quite have the kind of funds needed to embark on real developmental projects with decent speed. Fg sits on all oil reserves and other resources.

So presidency is where obi can demonstrate the full extent of his competence.

You know all these but your paid sentiments won't let you see it.

I just hope ordinary Nigerian voters will take opinions of folks like you for a pinch of salt

ElSudani:
Basically, Tinubu has been president since OBJ left office. This type of laughable criticism is the reason many critics are not taken seriously.
Throwing different things and hoping one will stick.
Where was the economy and the debt profile when Tinubu took over?
The same Nigeria where you were using Naira to buy Naira?

Oga calm down, don't responde out of context.

Even a child knows tinubu has only been president for 3 years.

Obj was just trying to recount how regressive governance has been since he left. Just trying to make the point that tinubu too is a failure.

By the way, no one is saying tinubu did not inherit a bad economy. Yes, he did.

But is he repairing it or making it worse? That's the critical question.

We will not say because he inherited a bad economy, we should then be praising him for making it worse.

Tinubu is a big fraud of a president. He's camouflaging to be making policies to reposition the economy, but its a lie.

He is only sweeping the masses to feed the few. Their classic feudal system template.

Disprove my argument, tell me where all the savings from subsidy have gone too. You will say they gone to state govt. Is it not stealing in itself when you had money to know thieves that cannot be checked. What has happened to yahaya bello.

Again, all the ridiculous loans tinubu has taken, what have they done with those loans that is tangible?

Nothing is being done for the good of the country and you're here defending them.

LibertyRep:
Even his kinsmen will curse him if he tries that nonsense.

Not to talk of his supporters.

What exactly are you referring to as nonsense?

That he is not interested in 2nd term?

Yall have serious problems and you deserve the wicked govt that oppress you.

4years is ordinarily more than enough for a citizen to contribute his quota to national development at that high level.

If you couldn't do it in 4year you simply cannot do it.

This lazy mentality of seeing public office as only way to make money and wanting to die there will continue to Bury this country and impoverish you all.

judewrites:
The spiritual although unseen is more real than this physical world.

There are very strong spiritual forces that control wealth and riches, this is so because Adam sold out his destiny to the devil.

Many of the richest men in the world have entered into strong covenants with the devil for wealth, most of this wealth comes through satanic manipulation because the devil is the god of this world.

I'm not degrading hardwork, its good to work hard, but beyond anything we can do in the physical, the spiritual limits it.

However, all money belongs to God because He's the almighty.

This Bible stories of manipulation have really messed up y'all minds.

Assuming the Adam cock and bull story is true, why does it affect you as a person regardless of what you do. And does that not mean all men are condemned to poverty by default (which makes zero sense).

And if Adam never messed up, what exactly was your God's plan for him? Have you asked yourself that question.

These stories don't add up, and they make yall believe it so you don't take charge of your life and so you can be easy to subdue. It's working.

All your pastors are all over the place gallivanting and displaying wealth, somehow the Adam curse does not apply to them.

judewrites:
Most people on earth are spiritually diverted away from their divine destinies..... that's why there is so much poverty.

Poverty was never God's plan for us... however remaining poor is a choice because we have access to God's blessings.

Lazy thought.

I really wish people will think critically sometimes and not just regurgitation what they've been told to repeat.

Remaining poor is a choice, very convenient to say.

So in a world of 8 billion people, you have just 4% of that number holding on to all the wealth and controlling the lives of others and somehow you think its because those others chose to be poor.

You don't think there's a systemic pattern that is rigidly in operation?

Classism is a real thing and it's never a level playimg ground for some people. more than 80% of people never get to migrate out of the class they were born into. Especially in a feudal country like Nigeria. Not because of lack of effort or competence.

Unless one is ready for criminality, it's almost impossible to break out of poverty in Nigeria if one is born into it.

rejoice4eva:
What would have been the outcome of the screening before?
A country where dead persons were appointed to office? Where forged certificates are used to enter office?
Until things are done appropriately and accordingly without bending rules irrespective of who is concerned, we may not be ready yet in this nation

Let's stop making empty statements.

Things will not suddenly start being done right.

The people of this country need to take charge and snatch the country from the evil leadership we've endured for many decades.

Only then can we overhaul state institutions so that it can br well with this country.

We need to be ready to take our subsequent elections as a matter of life and death to see upright individuals come to power.

You'll cannot be voting for characters like tinubu, okpobolo and think all will be well.

Kadejo:
Minister Oyedele,

The poverty in the land is already unbearable. The President and all government appointees, both elected / selected officials are feeding on the flesh of Nigerian masses and drinking the blood of the masses. I strongly believe that you and the entire cabinet members plus the President and all working with him are not among the masses., meanwhile you collect monies forcefully collected from the masses through direct and indirect taxes.

The government ensured downward/ relegated livelihood for the Majority Nigerians, and thereafter, created laws that will make it impossible to scale through when voices are aired in various means.

On day, the Almighty God will bring down the entire government structures and machineries used in inflicting pain and poverty to Nigerian masses

You use the security agencies, the court and the so called law to keep people's head down.

The Almighty God will tier you all apart. That is the only one ( GOD ) I believe can bring you all to justice.

Good write,

But I wish we as a people should have it registered in our consciousness that God is not coming to save us.

Heartbreaking but true.

Instead of consoling ourselves with the God factor, we should rather begin to organise for an uprising.

To demand for a better life in our own country.

God will not do anything and the suffering will surely continue.

Remember God will never come down here no matter what.

But I believe he has inspired us all and we know what to do, we are just too timid to do it.

So till then, na oppression and more oppression

yarimo:
Congratulations to president TINUBU as president elect in 2027 presidential election. Congratulations sir

The average black man is very wretched.

You can pay him a dime to do the dirty job.

He will speak with folly at the market square if you want.

Just for bread.

HacheNoire:
How people trust someone who has aligned with 3 political parties in a single year is mind boggling!

Anyways, one thing is constant. PETER WILL TASTE DEFEAT FOR THE SECOND TIME.

The one that did not align with 3 parties, what has he done for us?.

Make una dey reason like human being.

It is clear the structures of those 3 parties are hostile to the call for a new nigeria. The type of nigeria that people like you don't want because of your atenuje

MrsAyomide:
Please pray for Nigerian Christians..

Say something else.

No be prayer matter.

Election is coming, support the several agitations for electoral reforms so that you can choose better leaders.

agadez007:
APC firing from all cylinders,propaganda can only win you Elections but it can never help you Govern well

You people should be critical of your comments before you post.

Have they ever shown concern about good governance?

It's unfortunate most Nigerians still don't see who their enemy is.

Seunpapa65:
Haha truth is that Nigerians deserves the kind of leaders the have
Even the power failure master was given a heroic welcome
We deserves everything we get no doubt about that

Why do you guys do this.

You know too well that whatever crowd is hailing him are paid crowd.

No normal oyo indigene that is not jobless has the time to leave their home or work to welcome and hail a failure for that matter.

The narrative they try to create is that the masses still love them which cannot be more untrue.

But people like you help them reinforce this narrative when you pass comments like this.

JudeAfoo:
Olori burúkú ni Tinubu àti gbogbo àwọn tí wọn Support ẹ

Olori buruku ni wo.

Especially his unfortunate supporters.

kerry57:
Elon musk is stupendously rich and keeps accumulating wealth. Nice one. Giving is directly proportional to receiving, you don't have to believe it. It's a law of KAMA that is why it is preached in all religions.

That's how they twist y'all minds.

The law or sowing and reaping is the one that's real and true.

But that of receiving according to the proportion of your giving (aka givers never lack) is a falsehood.

Lithiumite:
That's the thing bro,you aren't allowed to bare fire arms without a licence and the licence limits you to certain types and a very limited cache......you aren't allowed to own assault rifles like AMG,pistols etc,I think you are limited to shotguns.

The idea is communities can apply for collective licence or state govts can approve this licences especially for communities in this bandit prone areas.....you can control its use and who owns them......the challenge these communities are having is basically lack of arms nothing more......govt needs to critically look in this regard communities can procurement there own arms and operate their own security network in coordination with the police.

Well said.

That affected communities lack access or funds to procure arms is the challenge I recognise here though.

But if funding is available, I reckon the bureaucracy of licensing can be bypassed by the people if govt tries to frustrate the process.

I say this because this is the same country where govt is said to be struggling in the war against banditry and terrorism, but in the rare case where they capture a few of these terrorists, they release them back to society under the guise of repentance.

It pains me deeply that human life is no longer worth much in Nigeria. Many people will not understand the pain until Nigeriabhappens to someone close to them

Bendeco02:
Not only to remove him

The president should not be allowed to appoint the next INEC chairman as well.

If he resign and tinubu appoints the new INEC chairman, nothing still change because he will install someone loyal to him and APC.

So who should appoint the inec chairman

Lithiumite:
If this is true thats its these marauding bandits that did this,its really sad......this people will really suffer by tge time the tides turn....tinubu should push for a comunal security enabled law that will allow people bare arms.....I am not a supporter of allowing any individual bare arms but communities can and should bare arms after being fully trained and certified......each arm is registered to the community with a security head in charge.....every local community have established security structures already existing all they need is arms......in the SW there is opc,agbeloya,amotekun,NHFSS,VGN etc

It's just funny how you nigerias reason.

If I was in an area that is prone to this level of violence, I will already have my own fire arms and any other weapons to protect my self.

I won't care whether govt allows me to bear arms or not. A govt that obviously doesn't care if I die or not.
