After the successful conduct of its national convention weekend, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is now faced with one major task of searching for a presidential candidate that will fly the party’s flag in the 2023 presidential election.
With the election of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, former Nasarawa State governor, as its national chairman, there is a high probability that the APC might zone the presidential ticket to the South, rather than throw it open as being canvassed by some stakeholders, especially from the Northern part of the country.
Despite the declaration of some presidential aspirants from the South such as Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Lagos State governor and national leader of the party; David Umahi, Ebonyi State governor; Rochas Okorocha, former Imo State governor, there are reports that the presidency is working underground to bring in former President Goodluck Jonathan into the party and make him its presidential candidate.
Daily Independent gathered that the belief of the cabals behind the plot was that Jonathan has an edge because aside being a Southerner, he is also a Christian, which is a very important consideration given the fact that President Buhari who will be completing his term of office next year is a Muslim.
It is also believed that if Jonathan eventually gets the ticket and wins the presidential election, he will do just one term, since he has already served one term before his defeat in 2015 and then return power back to the North.
The rumour was recently confirmed by Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), an APC chieftain and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), who said the plot is for the APC to pair Jonathan with the Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, as his running mate, knowing that he could only do one term in office as president.
He further told Daily Independent that after Jonathan’s one term, having served as president before, Buni, who was formerly the Chairman of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, will then replace him in 2027.
Sagay said: “Now we are hearing from the sides, former President Goodluck Jonathan wants to join APC. Why would a man who had been president before denigrate himself to that level? I hear that the conspiracy is to bring in Jonathan as APC presidential candidate and Buni as the vice-presidential candidate. If APC wins, Jonathan will go away after four years and Buni becomes the president. That is the rumour I’m hearing now.”
Speaking with Daily Independent on Sunday, a former minister from the South- South who is a key loyalist of Jonathan said with the convention of the party now over, Jonathan is set to make up his mind on where he belongs.
He also confirmed that Jonathan is “technically out of the PDP as at today”.
According to him, “Yes, the former president was approached by the leaders of the APC who sold him the idea of running on the party’s platform in 2023. They said they were happy with the manner he handled his defeat in 2015, conceding defeat even before the election results were fully announced without any form of bitterness and the cooperation he has been giving President Buhari. They also said as true democrat, Nigeria needs him at this moment to unite the country.
“I am aware he (Jonathan) gave them only one condition. And that is if they are ready to make him the consensus presidential candidate of the party. He doesn’t want any acrimony that will arise from contesting the presidential primary at all. That is the only condition I am aware he gave to the APC leaders who are in talks with him”.
Efforts made by Daily Independent to get the reaction from the presidency proved abortive as none of our sources declined to speak on the issue.
However, in an interview late last year, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, former national secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, said if Jonathan joins the APC, he will be given the opportunity to contest the next general election but will not get an automatic ticket.
“I am hearing that for the first time that we are expecting the former president. That will be great news. We will welcome him; that will also strengthen the party. The last National Executive Council of the party actually gave a blanket approval to any individual that if you join APC today, it is as if you are a founding member of the party. So, anyone who joins today has the same opportunity to run for any office in this party. It has always been so, so I am not speculating”, Akpanudoedehe had said.
When contacted, Hon. Bosun Oladele, National Secretary of the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023 (SWAGA’23), said the idea of a consensus presidential candidate is unacceptable as it will cause rancour and division in the party.
According to him, nobody should try to get the APC presidential ticket through the backdoor.
“There is nothing like consensus presidential candidate. That will be a short cut which they know cannot be possible through a primary if all the aspirants file out on the field. Nobody should think of getting the ticket through the back door.
“Don’t forget, Asiwaju Tinubu deliberately said that he has the capacity. So, I believe that is the number one requirement for anybody that wants to contest the election. Whoever is contesting, let them go to the field and show their capacity. After all, if not for contested primaries, would it have been possible for Buhari to emerge in 2015? I believe if he had emerged by consensus then, there would have been serious protest and division in the party”, he said.

Southernigbo: You See most guys showing how clean they are by always maintaining good hygiene and high level of cleanliness but when it comes to the issue of the opposite sex, they don't care how dirty, unkempt, hygienic and smelly they may be, they just engage them in sex as if you their sense of smell has been obliterated. I de shame for men like these o. Well I really don't support the eating of frogs, but I do know that white man said that if you must eat frog, eat the one with a lot of fat.
A girl'd hygiene comes first before anything else, for me. Her beauty, body shape and all comes to nothingness for me if she isn't neat inside out, I mean INSIDE OUT.

seunmsg: The senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, on Sunday said that if the possibility of a Tinubu and Rochas ticket emerges ahead of the 2023 presidential elections, he would clinch it.
Mr Okorocha stressed a possibility of being a running mate of Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This, he said, was because he represents the South-East, while Mr Tinubu is a South-Westerner.
“Uncle Tinubu and I are most likely to be.
“I know that at the appropriate time it may be because he is the one pushing up in the South-West and I am in the South-East.
“So let us see what happens between us, and if that is it, I will ask him to relax a bit so that we can move this section forward,” the senator said while fielding questions from journalists at the party’s national convention held in Abuja.
Mr Okorocha also noted that he was loved by people because he has sympathy for humanity and shuns tribalism.
“The people naturally love me and I think it is because they believe I care, they believe I love and have sympathy for humanity, they believe I am detribalised.
“They believe I do not know religion or tribe, Muslim Christian, Igbo or Hausa, Yoruba, all I see is a human being and that is what makes the difference on my side.’’
This was a time when people didn't know much..but still in that naivety, life was sweet in every sense. A time when we still had trust and fidelity for ourselves. A time when you could say to a girl 'I love you' and she believed every word
elonmuskbaby: this is a lesson to youths that no matter how talented you are there's no gain in gangsterism or what they call 'the game'. Only few people come out of it alive.now look at it now.all the people not as talented as him are the ones reaping from his years of hardwork.
Secondly,you can come from the streets,you can come from the ghetto but you shouldn't let your background define you.he had the opportunity to outgrow it but he was too attached to the rough life
Jenniferchuma10: Nollywood star, John Okafor also known as Mr Ibu has revealed that he was hospitalized because he was poisoned.
"I was poisoned in Abuja at an entertainment event but I'm recuperating" - Mr Ibu The actor who spoke to Saturday Beats, said he wasn’t poisoned in the village but in Abuja at an entertainment event. He also disclosed that he is recuperating.
Mr Ibu said; “I just got poisoned again. It seems my enemies are using me to rehearse (their powers). This time, I wasn’t poisoned in the village. I was poisoned in Abuja last week at an entertainment event. I really cannot explain how I was poisoned because it was a gathering of people, though it was not a big event.
“I am recuperating, although I have neither worked out nor driven since I got ill. However, I intend to take a walk this (Friday) evening, because I am hopeful that I would get better. I am eating well now, and I’m prepared to go back on set any moment from now.”
The actor also bashed those soliciting for funds on his behalf without his consent. Mr Ibu added;
“Some people have sold me. They have not heard from me and all they want to do is ‘sell me’. But, their plans won’t work because God has raised me up. I am not begging anybody for money. My condition is not as critical as some people are making it seem.
Anybody who has made it a point of duty to talk about my sickness and take advantage of it should stop. I am here (hospital) with my wife. I am not saying all my friends that are supposed to visit me and bring me money cannot do that.
But, I have never asked anyone to beg people for money on my behalf. They should stop. If I want to die, I would let them know, since they seem to be so interested.”

What happened was there is this girl i have caught several times staring at me anytime she passes by and today she took the courage to ask if we have known somewhere before and I said no. From the look on her eyes she wanted me to continue from where she stopped by being friends but I just walked away because I have decided to be an alpha male. I really feel bad what can I do?
I see that @Gidredpiller has succeeded in ruining most guys here with his hate speeches and endless crusade against women.

So it didn't occur to you, you could still play along, start up a conversation and still maintain ur self-respect?
Escabado: Its funny when i read and see men here complain about a so called girl they call girlfriend abi fiance of cheating or misbehaving .
Now let me open your inner eyes.
An Average Nigeria girl fund her life and expenses by sleepin with different men as long as long as they will give her money. Do u know most of these girls fvk more than 5 men a day , the more men they fvk is the money they have to pay there bil so mr man get dat into your head. Check her job or business if it can fund her life style and the answer is no.
Your serious girlfriend in lagos is an olosho In Abuja. That girl u save her number as my Love. Another man also saved her number as my dik suker.
So men should wake up and face reality that Nigeria girls trade sex for a Living.
Wisdom shall not elude you bro
In case they don't understand , let me buttress..
What he is trying to say is that 5 out of 10 guys will most likely get married to an Olosho .
Lagosogun: Okay guys i decided to create this account anonymously. I'm interested in hookup with a girl that's really naughty that stays with in lagos or ogun. Let's just have fun.
At my place or a nearby hotel close to her place just for the fun of it. Hit me up if you're interested. Yeah, if you also love to have a 3some (two girls perhaps you your friend and a boy) I'm also in. Remember it's just for the fun of it.
I stay in Lagos but i can drive down to anyone in Ogun state that's not too far from Lagos.
Personally I'm 25 of age. If you're a girl seeing this just drop a comment and I'll hit you up ��
I have come across uncountable threads here and many people are commenting and arguing about this courses especially biochemistry. And what is confusing me now is presently the way I see it biochemistry and microbiology has the highest number of applicant's and admitted students now in Nigeria then why if this courses are actually useless and many people rushing to study the course's
Currently am in 100level studying biochemistry in udusok I have make a lot research even I love the course before start studying it and some people here have being making me doubt about this course ever since am seeing thier comments on this course's here
Pls let me know your reasons for calling this courses useless or stop saying it because your putting people on doubt that are studying it
No course is worth it in Nigeria..period
Listen brother, gone are the days when one was bent on studying a particular course..this isn't the 70s or 80s...this is 2022 and ur country happens to be a place where nothing seems to work, neither does it care about you.
Get on with any course you are offered, just learn to develop interest in it so can at least graduate with an ok result, then come out and face ur reality.
Some of us didn't have the luxury of been enlightened like this.
I and my fiance were both bankers,I brought her in town and God used me for her to secure a job,where I used to stay was a bit further to our work place ,so their is another banker guy who has a crv Honda car that usually drop her in the morning at her office whom she later became close friends with,although dey do call them selves whenever the guy is about leaving his house to pick up my fiancee, which I was aware of.however suddenly I realized that my fiancee what's app chat is always cleared not to let me see their chats which I suspected a foul play,but the worst came last week when I was trying to get my car engine oil and I was approaching her ,she was calling the guy ,as I near her to eavesdrop on what she was talking with the guy ,she quickly ends the call. i got angry that why will she not let me hear their conversation if truly she has nothing to do with the guy ,I challenged her but she insisted nothing was going on between them that she had to end the call on my arrival which she has always call in my presence .I don't want to be a fool as am about to end the relationship ,but I guess I need your honest and positive response on this matter why she had to do what she did. I am a very simple guy and I believe every one should have their freedom. And I don't cheat . I will love to hear your mature opinion on this.
Thanks .

Optimistic4life: I'm trying hard to live a life free from sin and sexual immorality and I am doing pretty well but of recent, my hormones/body have been raging and I am finding it difficult to cope.
It's 18months I have been separated and there is no getting back together.
Were you ever in my situation, how did you overcome without involving in sex/masturbation?
I just need some words of encouragement.
Its really not easy and it has become some sort of distraction.
The reason I do not want to have a male friend is because of my fear for God.
It's been 18months since you separated with ur partner and it's obvious there is no getting back together...Why don't you loosing up and make friends again, open up and try going into a relationship so you don't fall into the temptation of having Random sex.
You can't kill urself ok In the end, you just human.
