monerozi5590: Really? Emefiele " I indeed stole money through corrupt practices"
Your father is the head of your family, right? If you commit a crime and the law caught up with you, who will be charged with the crime?
1. You 2. Father 3. You and your father.
Did Buhari give birth to Nigeria? Did my father contest with Papa jamiu to be my Father? Ah no understand boss. This logic is flaw. You can do better. Ahbi my father campaign say e wan lead and father me?
akwesenana: They think anyone against Buhari's ineptitude automatically "supports" Jonathan.
Such binary thinking in 2023 is appalling.
We are all guilty of this honestly. The earlier we discard this type of notion and focus on these corrupt politicians the better.
All our presidents and prime ministers from 1900 have been a failure. Nothing anybody can tell me. I will only have problem with anybody that focuses on one and exonerate the other, then you go chop your trash. They are all failure.
Monerozzi, sometimes, want to paint Buhari as a GOOD MAN THAT ALLOWED BAD THING TO HAPPENED FOR GOOD REASONS. But people no gree am. I've once supported this man Buhari but when it became glaring that the man has no clue of governance, I resigned to chopping my L.
Buhari was never a good president. Not even Otem was happy with him then.
monerozi5590: It there means OBJ, Jonathan are also very foolish.
Buhari is not a thief. Under Buhari, IPPIS, TSA were set up just to eliminate corruption but corrupt people found their ways around it.
Shortly after he won the election, Buhari visited UK and the then British Prime Minister said Nigeria is fantastically corrupt and people were saying Buhari should demand for apology from the prime minister. Buhari said no, all I want is for UK to give us back our stolen money.
Under Buhari, Nigeria recovered so much stolen money, assets.
Bro, ahbeg leave this talk. It's not adding up.
When you're in charge of anything, you're expected to take responsibilities of the whole situation being the leader.
Buhari is as guilty as Emiefele.... This is common knowledge nah. What he enjoys now is the fact that the system is weak and also same party stuff. In a sane clime, that man has questions to answer.
Please just let go this talk, it's beginning to sound somehow.
When something happened under your watch, common logic dictates you should take the blame being the president. No need to sugarcoat it.
This applies to all the presidents we've had.
You don't say stealing is not corruption and expects me to applaud you. To even come publicly to say that trash says a lot that have been happening undercover.
You do not plead a bargain of #50 billion and expect me to isolate the president. It's not adding up. For him to enter a bargain of such amounts shows he has stolen far above that.
One wonders if Buhari, being the president with all the intelligences surrounding him, had no clue about all these corrupt practices of his officials.
If he had no clue, then he failed in his primary assignment, if otherwise and he allowed everything to happen, that shows he was into it too. No doubt about. Birds of the same feather nah.
With all these being coming out under the same party, shows the fraud is too much.
Honestly, Buhari has to be grilled too. If he is found in any way culpable, he should be allowed to face the music. If otherwise, then otherwise!!!
DissTroy: My last two paragraphs were referring to the guy you quoted who complained about the violence and those who supported Bello's violent antics all because it aligned with diminishing Obi's influence in Kogi at the polls.
He forgot all but one of those folks here who joined with him to cheer on Bello have no stakes in Kogi even if it goes to ashes.
Their own states are relatively safer and more viable socioeconomically than the Kogi he empowered Bello to cage.
We'd all learn the hard way, individually and collectively.
Bro, I don't rate that idiot.... Even on my FB page, my post about his style of governance is there for all to see. If I have to support a serial killer and dumb person like Bello, there is need to question my Education.
One can only argue my post from his early administration where there was high hope of new administration and power shift. So, many people were expecting some kind of relief and paradigm shift from the powers that have held kogi down. Alas! He turns out to be worst!
The Governor is from Central same as me, same LG, same locality, same clan and I can point to his ancestoria home on my way home. Merely calling him "white lion" does not justify anything. They guy is as crook as anything and this is evident in his administration so far.
Well, aside this "white lion" and maybe my post in his early administration, I don't think there is any of my post justifying his maladministration.
I don't know what you meant at bolded Sha.
Whether the election is free and fair or not, it's always very difficult for Obi to win kogi state. You can argue he might pull a higher number compare to what he had, anybody who knows election dimensions in kogi state knows this!
Itsrm: If I was in Kogi state, I would have voted for him.
He employs and pays teachers in his constituency for the last 11 years, built a 350 seat CBT centre for jamb, constructs roads, and has empowered a lot of people through farming of sesame seed.
I was really impressed.
Exactly. How I didn't know this before is a mystery. I want to check his pages and follow him.
Let's see if I can help publicise his candidacy. The man is impressive true true. At least, I can see better candidate now. All this Dino, Ododo and Muri too dull for my liking.

Itsrm: His name is Leke Adelaide. The video not playing could be from your end. He seems to have a lot of grassroot support from what he's saying in the video.
Seeing as you didn't even mention his name, he may well be overrating himself.
most of them nah BELLO dem dy work for ...
you know how many candidate he don plant for MURI EAST?
The link provided is not working. i don't know who you are referring to.
Muri? Ododo? or Dino.
The situation in kogi state mirrors that of the national election held this year. The three major contestants come out of the three zones.
That Muri guy can be best described as Peter Obi of kogi state who, until few days to APC primary , decamped to SDP and riding on his ethnicity to gain popularity. Giving the fact that his zone is the most populous and also with highest LGs, he is expected to win in a free and fair election......
The election is technically between APC of Ododo and SDP of Muri.
DINO of PDP can leverage on recent tribunal victory for PDP in the state. PDP TECHNICALLY has 2 senators for now which, if stand, can help the party to pull some reasonable numbers and also help check rigging incase anybody wanna misbehave.
All in all, i don't see PDP WINNING sha. i might be wrong though.
The major advantages of APC is that, they control almost all HOAs, majority of REPs and all the SENATORS ( bar tribunal rulings) and the power of incumbency.... another important factor is the fact that while CENTRAL is locked for APC and reasonable numbers from east of MURI - giving his deputy is from there - None has his deputy from central.
in more clearer term.....
APC = Candidate (Central) deputy ( East).
PDP = candidate (West) deputy (East)
SDP = candidate (East) deputy (west).
You can see the EAST is technically screwed follow by West. Which is an advantage to APC and a factor against MURI too.
IN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, MURI WILL HAVE UPPER HAND BUT THIS IS NIGERIA!!!
Ebukacute: IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. say a prayer for me. Funny enough I know the kind of prayers and wishes I will get from some of you ndi mischief Make e no cause Lamentations wey go reach 50 paragraphs.
