Financial advisor in the house, is it a good investment instrument?
Please answer with explanation
Thanks

Why the brouhaha about presidency is just about who controls the wealth of the nation per time.
Rotational presidency cannot solve the problem of marginalization, let's not be emotional about it rather it will escalate it. The problem will then be which state in the geopolitical zone will produce? Then another round of issues start. Also, don't forget that if by act of Parliament, such is injected into our constitution, imagine if a president like OBJ emerges and have a Senate president like Akpabio, speaker like Masari and CJN like Tanko Muhammad that arrangements will be altered and another round of issues will occur.
To me what will solve all this power agitation is full Resource Control at the geopolitical level then tax is being paid to the federal government for strictly national necessities, nobody will want to agitate for presidency again and then rigging will be out and will be fully on merit. Because the real power will be at the regional level and then you can manage it as you like.

There's no region in Nigeria that is bereft of commercially viable mineral resources so, what we really need is resource control and not rotational presidency

Justnation:
Rotational presidency is the best option for Nigeria and the only option that will stop the disintegration of Nigeria.

Nigerian presidency has been rotating between the south west and north west since 1999 ( only a Jonathan time occasioned by unforseen circumstances).
This situation cannot persist and you expect Nigeria to remain a united country, it is not possible

I love how it's been thrown away. Anything to unite this country as it is now is Capital NO!
Instead of rotational presidency, let's go for full resource control at least that's if balkanization will not be possible.

If it is as described, Pa Tinubu will answer them rightly at the right time. I don't support him but, at least he's the president today. He deserves all the respect of that seat, if you don't like him there, 2027 is another opportunity effect your interest.

Fingers crossed

bixton:
This fight is an ideology one.
Wike knows it as well and was better enlightened when Tambuwal stepped down for Atiku during the PDP presidential primaries and afterwards Okowa was selected over Wike to be the running mate to Atiku.
Baba Osho is not that old per se. I just don't know where his ideology lies.
The politics in the South with Southerners is basically local politics, control and stomach infrastructure and not harnessing it's power to gain good control in national politics by doing what Tinubu has done over the years and Wike has been doing since they PDP was left for him to cater for when Atiku and Co left it for him to macro-micro manage and those who we all thought had weight are coming at Wike with all manner of arsenals and to no avail.
At this time in our politics Wike political sagacity should be a good thesis work.

So good to have someone like you here.
An Apt analysis

Please, there's a serious need to start oil exploration in the north.
Let them also enjoy gas flaring, land degradation, pollution of drinkable and useful water and all other enjoyment that come with crude exploration in your community.

Besides, this is a welcome development as it will facilitate full resource control or even balkanization of this country.


Kudos to Ojulari here

They can't expel Wike. Who will finance the party and it's election?
The North will not release money to finance party structure and election.
Delta state which is their last hope is gone.
Jonathan will not allow Diri to waste Baylesa money on party, because as long as he's alive he's the factor of governorship in that state Seyi Makinde of Oyo state will not make that mistake because Oyo state politics doesn't allow that besides how much does he have? Ademola doesn't have the money to sponsor the party. Up till now Wike is still financing PDP and Atiku is forming glorified leader.
Wike shifted Delta state into APC to enable him consolidate his grip on PDP.
The south East has been betrayed so, they will also keep their purse while AkwaIbom governor either align with APC or get kicked out, so, no funding for PDP from that state

I'm watching how the stingy North will galvanize this

The West are behind the crisis in Africa. Their neocolonialism plan is to hold Africa by the jugular. They know once Africa get emancipated from them, they become feather weight.
From Thomas Sankara to Patrice Lumumba to Mahman Gaddafi those are the prominent and obvious ones.
When they see you with proactive intention to deliver your people, the next thing is to take you out. The reason Traore aligned with Russia.

See the legacies of Obama in Africa all over. This same man refused to sell ammunition to Jonathan to fight terrorist, because they the ones benefitting from it.

The reason I like Donald Trump. He's mind your country and let me mind my America.

African leaders need to wake up to give real leadership and not rulership

bixton:
Yes, the South needs people like Wike to make the North realize that there are no fools in the South.
The North don't have anything to contribute to the welfare and well being of the South and so they should drop all their threats if they truly want diplomacy.

Thank God we still have someone like you that is not emotional with issues.
In this game with northerners, it was only Tinubu that was playing it against them, when he discovered the gut of Wike, he empowered him well, and that's what is happening. Those people have el-rufai, Kwankwaso even Tambuwal but who do south has? Oshiomole is old, Tinubu has pushed it to a point he needs someone younger, vibrant and more strategic which Wike possess. So that's the reason for alliance.
After 2027, we shall see the real game plan.
If not, the south will be overrun by this people without a single resistance, we will just be speaking English and typing on SM while they busy thudding the south.

It is well with us

All I see here is a hide and seek game.
We are watching. Nigeria politics is getting more interesting.
So, it will be on record that he opposed it.
The game plan is working out
.

Every one knows Anambra is APGA legacy state. Once you align well, you get it in due time. Politicians only use other parties to announce their interest in the race, when it's time to get it, they port to APGA. Even Pa Tinubu knows this, the reason he's aligning with Soludo even though they have a candidate.
Soludo is winning second term. No issues.

bixton:
Did he really hijack the party?!!!!
People left the party and he singlehandedly did a lot of things and because people can be bought with money, he shared the money and found a way to ensure his chosen candidates takes the juicy portfolios.....
Don't call that greed.....
He wasn't the only govenror in Nigeria in PDP and nobody stopped the rest of them from playiythr game he played in the party rather than them complaining or waiting for him to put his State resources and they want to have a loud say in the affairs of the party that will not benefit him....

Who does that?

Exactly what happened. You are so correct. I remembered telling people around me then that PDP has become too contented for a Wike to become the party father figure then.
Atiku was no where to be found. All those northerners were thought they were smart by collecting his money and think with their unity and numbers they can brush him aside and made a fool of him. All of them are now shocked by his political sagacity.
Wike is a good match for them. Let him give it to them massively. Southerners are not fools

Abbeytoy:
Politics is about personal interests, while government is about people.

We need to get the difference rightly.

I love this!
The problem we have is that all is about politics and no governance that's why Nigerians are shouting and lamenting

When Israel is done with Yemen, then, dhe will take on Iran one on one.
And we will know the final score. I'm not siding anyone though.
It's their war, their land, their problem.

PDPdestroyer:
I have a suggestion for the PDP and the coalition on how to grab power from the APC. They should allow Atiku run on one ticket with Obi as his VP under PDP, then on the coalition ticket, they should make Obi run with either El-Rufai or Oseni Rufai as his VP. There is no way one of these two tickets won’t kick the APC out, my humble opinion

That's not possible though

A ceremonial match for the two sides.
A draw will be good with lots of good displays.



#YNWA

This ticket will not go anywhere. When Pa Tinubu wins again, they will start shouting rigging.
Truth be told, Obi stands no chance in 2027. But, he will be on the ballot to make it easier for Pa Tinubu to win.
The North cannot afford to stay out of power beyond 2031. If they allow Obi, any of this two will happen: Obi rule till 2035 which the North will see as cheating so, will kick against it. OR Obi do a term and scatter Nigeria so there won't be Nigeria after him. This the North will rigorously fight against.
So, they will prefer to manage Pa Tinubu till 2031 to protect their estate and their power equation

The brand name and model year please.

This NARD position is one of the reasons our health sector in Nigeria is in shambles.
Imagine a position of medical practitioner!
It was your choice to be a medical practitioner so, why envying other medical professionals?
The NUC should bring on courses on medical management to design roadmap and effective execution of quality health sector in Nigeria and deliver Nigerians from the hand of these egoistic doctors in Nigeria

Mama Patience, this news that you are sharing... There is God ooo

Coldspice:
Firstly, you don't make a charismatic and ambitious person your deputy. That's a rookie mistake.

Secondly, the only ticket today that can rattle Tinubu is Atiku/Obi. Any other one is just efforts in futility.
To prevent that, APC is doing different things.

1. Northern politicians who are ambitious are being lured away from Atiku with the promise that 2031 is open for Presidency.

2. Eastern politicians who are ambitious are being told 2031 is open for VP slot. That's why Eastern Governors today across all parties are for Tinubu.

3. Making sure Atiku doesn't run under PDP. That's Wike's department.

This your analysis is so good and real. As it stands, every single thing apart from the masses had been taken care of against 2027 by Pa Tinubu. Latest by next year, the masses will be addressed and by 2027, he's declare winner before the election closed.
Nigerians can easily be appeased and divided, the understanding of this is a great strategy on the hand of those politicians.

Zico5:
Tinubu thinks he is the wisest person in this country cos he is the president. He fails to realise that power is transient. He is enforcing his policy on the masses not thinking of the aftermath effects on the masses. He thinks with a Congo of rice and beans masses will line up and vote him again. Rude shock is waiting for him. I'm from South west and the level of anger many have towards this government is huge. The few you see defending him on Nairaland are either benefitting from his government or they have relatives that's directly benefitting. I'm assuring everyone this time around, riging won't work cos everyone is tired. All the politicians you see defecting have no influence, no south south, south east, North and a large chunk of south west will vote Tinubu again. Once bitten twice shy. He should continue with is gregarious policy. His eyes will clear very soon.

The only possibility of that is a formidable opposition that will fly a formidable candidate.
For now, none of the two is available. No rigging anywhere his strategy is topnotch and we the masses are docile, all our leading politicians have no interest of the masses at heart of not, he couldn't have been everywhere in the political space.
We need people like Prof Pat Utomi and co to lead a coalition of political parties and pick a technocrat as a candidate then a politician as a VP candidates then do aggressive marketing of the candidates, their antecedents, their achievements, their well articulate vision and pragmatic approach to solve at least one critical problem of this country in totality, then Pa Tinubu may be jittery. But, as it stands now, we will still have Pa Tinubu, Pa Atiku Mall Kwankwaso and Mr Obi as candidate, then be rest assured Pa Tinubu will win without any rigging. The political structure is already in his favor.

fredoooooo:
Their wàhálà..
Hope they talk about improvements and insecurities in the North and not just how to loot money...

They will tell the masses want they want to hear and discuss what they really need to discuss.
Nigeria rulers are all yam-eaters

Despite their shortcomings, I still rate EPL above other leagues in Europe.
I love them


#YNWA

This man is updating his bargaining power as he's negotiating with APC.
The masses has always been the bargaining deal as politics is a game of numbers.
Then after then they dump the same masses to enjoy the dividend.
See how is identifying and psyching the poor without any pledge to do anything to benefit them

planetbluz:
Yeah, You maybe right. But plus or minus otti is miles ahead of ikpeazu and others in every facet of governance.

Well, let's hope so for now.
When he leaves office we will be able to truly assess him. But, the man really ought to perform having run and lost on some few occasions. That ought to make him better prepared for better performance.
But, at last, all politicians are the same. They only differ in faces and names

Elusive001:
I wonder why they have not done the same.to Peter Obi. It seems that they have not found any grounds to accuse him. That's why the hatr him too much.

They are all political strategist. Every one wants power. There's a special assignment reserved for Obi and that's to split votes. The only way Obi will not be useful in that regard is for him not to contest or run on a platform of coalition, anything outside that tool, he's a useful tool in their hand and he will be settled, forget about all those SM noise.
Very soon some staunch ally of Pa Tinubu will start decamping to pick forms in other parties just to split votes of the opposition. OBJ did the same it was Jonathan that allowed coalition under his watch and I shouted then.
So Pa Tinubu is using both strategies to ensure victory.
All politicians are the same. It's only technocrat I can give a little bit of consideration.

Yorubaskullmine:
Good.
He learned from the best. There’s no way you will be a student of Peter Obi and will not deliver good governance.

Hope you read where he directed a new one to be built at the old site.
That's where he will get his own cut from. The question, what happened to the own they are currently occupying? Or why can't he put a finishing touch on the newly built one?
We know the answer, money must be made... Boys must chop.

That one party state is a pipe dream. Nigeria has gone beyond that. Even though it doesn't look as if we are growing, but definitely our democracy is growing.
PDP did worse than this, but they only lasted 16 years, we never know they could quickly fall like pack of cards like that.
2023 election was a four horse race, i.e four formidable candidates, so, it's just a matter of time APC will also join PDP in our national books of history. Infact, I don't see APC again after Pa Tinubu regime.
So, it may look like it for now, but, it's not really what they are thinking.
It's all a process of growth

Lol, graduate living in zamfara state, the headquarters of shari'a in Nigeria.
It is well ooo

masseratti:
Oga former rep ..there is nothing like indigene of fct ....that's the major reason why Capital was moved from lagos to FCT ..to curb this indigenous thing ...all former indigenous people of present day FCT have been moved to other surrounding states and compensated..infact the constitution does recognize an indigene of FCT ..all Nigerians are Indigene of FCT

Only some are resettled not all.
It is not all Abuja land that was totally claimed by the government. All those highbrow areas has original occupant, I agree with you on that, those ones had been resettled some in nasarawa state while some in kogi state then some in Niger state.
But the interior are still being occupied by the original owners. Those are the people talking here. They've truly being marginalized. They reserve the right like any other Nigerians to have a say in the management of their land
