This man brought to my remembrance that grass cutting saga in IDP camp that year.
Chai, grass cutting money has finished baba is now hungry, so, looking for where there will be fresh grass to cut.

A good name is better than than silver and gold.

Ganduje time will come very soon.
We will remind him of the dollar in babariga

APC can only buy politician but u see election day none of them will survive it

Better do your best and leave the rest. You condemn one and vote one, the one you vote will go and apologize to the one you condemn and sign deal with him on your behalf. They are all politicians.
Take it or leave it they All have a meeting point where deal are signed and common patrimony shared. If you are not part of them, you can't see it.

So, vote who you like and leave the rest for them.

As long as we allow our national assembly members to be eating and sleeping without doing their jobs, we can do but a little to change anything

Okoroawusa:
Hahahaha! If after 2023 election you don't see Peter Obi is Tinubu ally then you are a child in politics.

Peter Obi is not Tinubu ally. His agenda was hacked and was used well by the hacker. He discovered that not too long ago.
It is only now we the observers can't pin his moves and how independent is it.
But, time shall tell

PDP did more than this, where is it today?
This trajectory is making it clear that APC will scatter after 2031 election and another party will emerge. If they will win 2031 election, that is too early to predict but, 2027 has gone already.
All we need is resource control at the regional level and then every region will develop at its own pace according to their ideology

May God intervene in their situation and keep them safe in Jesus name.

Mallam is seriously struggling to regain relevance. That's good.

You do not understand. This is not about the politicians. It is about us Nigerians. We are selfish, self centered, and unkind. The mindset is always about me and my family alone. That is the real Nigerian mentality. It is not only politicians who live in luxury. Many people are out drinking Azul and Hennessy, going to clubs, spending money on prostitutes, but refusing to invest or create opportunities for others. This way of thinking is everywhere, from the bottom to the top. Nigerians will spend millions on parties while their own relatives are suffering. Stop blaming politicians. They are simply a reflection of who we are as a people.

I think I'm the only one that sees this. Thank God more people are seeing it.
We are currently terrible as a people and our society is awful the reason we produce those we have as leaders. We're too self-centered in thought and actions. Societal value is meaningless of I can't manipulate it to my favor, heaping blame on everyone except you etc.
It's mind reorientation that that we urgently need as a people before anything else

To me, any coalition that has former Tinubu allies as pillars cannot defeat Tinubu.
So far, it's only Peter Obi I'm seeing with strategy that may make Tinubu puzzle.
He has worked with the rest, they fell out with him, each of them with Tinubu knew why they fell out which they will never really tell us. Each of them and Tinubu knows where to meet if need be.
I may sound weird, but, how are we so sure that all this coalition talks is not in favor of Tinubu with Atiku trying to make a mark against 2031 to any green horn in the north that may be nursing the ambition.
I can never trust any politician again since what I experienced in the gubernatorial election of my state in 2015.
They all dined together, strategize together, arrange things among themselves than throw news in the public to keep us busy.

So, even in this coalition I'm still seeing Tinubu hand in their structure.

Fingers crossed

EPL is soaring higher next season.

#YNWA

This is one of the reasons the southern politicians and people of thought will not align with any coalition not Fielding a southern presidential candidate against a sitting southern president.

We are are analyzing issues from both sides now, I hope they listen. If they make mistake and lose election again, we don't want to hear rigging shout anywhere.

I come in peace

The only ticket that can give Tinubu a run for his money is Peter Obi/el-rufai ticket with a strong backing of Atiku Abubakar. This will resound well into South East/ North West/North east while north central will be poached by Atiku and South south will be poached by Peter Obi. Then, mount pressure on national assembly for proactive electoral reform. With that even if Nigeria will not start getting better, the degeneration will stop.

But, trust politicians with their greed and ego.

Atiku/Obi ticket cannot and will not unseat Tinubu in 2027. Buhari defeated this same ticket in 2019. Forget about 2023 figures, it won't matter in 2027 except Obi is the candidate. That Atiku figure as well will not fly in 2027. There's a massive erosion of his base infact himself knows he can't boast of that figure in 2027.

So, fingers crossed

Good el-rufai has found his voice. But, he's letting out too much too early. Play your card close to your chest. This is neither Jonathan nor Buhari in politics. This is a political Machiavelli. He's, already plot your graph, predicting what you can do and see how he can benefit from what you are doing to achieve your goals.
His competence in governance is in doubt due to obvious results but, his competence in politics is A+.
So, when dealing with him be guided. Mind you the only person that he hasn't dined with at least publicly in the coalition is Peter Obi who I see as the only far person for Tinubu in that mix, the rest have worked with him, he already has a dossier of your strength and weakness and loophole to manoeuver in due time.
Well, I still love the coalition and how it's gaining momentum but, Tinubu can't be unseat in 2027 election without drastic proactive electoral reform that is masses-centric. But, counting on any politicians to unseat Tinubu in 2027, is a pipe dream

Events following

Tvegas:
Since the Start of the 4th Republic in 1999

NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER BEEN ELECTED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS OF MOST OF THE STATE GOVERNORS. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE IN 2027.

Nigerian Democracy hasn't matured enough for Coalitions to succeed without the involvement of major Power Brokers.

You are right. But, until a concept is challenged, you can't know it's strength. These are former vice president, former governors. Some former legislators will also join them. Some sitting governors will still work for them indirectly just as it was for Obi in 2023 election.
So, for me, it's a good thing. APC will stop taking us for granted and actually govern, even though I still see APC winning the presidential election anyway

Their only joker of pulling a show is if Peter Obi is given the presidential ticket, it doesn't matter who vice him. Even as that Pa Tinubu will still win only that he will be given a run for his money. But, any other presidential candidate apart from Peter Obi is a walk in the park for Pa Tinubu.
I'm glad for the success of this coalition, it will signal to the politicians that we have alternative to them.
Now Pa Tinubu will stop globetrotting and 2027 politicking and sit down for real governance. The sun outside can still dry the clothes, if not, he's out and heaven will not fall

I don't believe he was killed because he burnt Bible yet according to their police report, but, if he was killed by one or or more person just because he burnt the Bible, then the police should find them out for justice.

Whatever anyone does with the Bible is a personal business between you and God.
Believe it, condemn it, burn it, read it, treasure it, tear it, is your personal business between you and your real self.

I pity him seriously, but, what else can I say than RIP

Paul apostle ,the founder of Christianity even affirmed it

Check your facts, Paul is not the founder of Christianity

jmoore:
If there's 80% plus turn out for voting, most of these polithievians do not stand a chance of being elected

If your votes are not thrown into nearby river without getting to the collation center. That was the case during 2003 and 2007 elections

Shedrack777:
my guy relax! The first 5 teams will play UCL including Man united/Tottenham, making 6 teams. Team that finished 6th will play eul with crystal palace. The team that finishes 7th will play eucl. 8th has no spot in Europe next season courtesy of palace winning FA cup

Oh my my. I forgot Crystal Palace had taken one Europa ticket. You are right.

Bibi, that once called the bluff of all of you together.
You people forming saint will do worse if in his shoes.
Africa that was never a threat to you people, you came turn it upside down and still hold it by the jugular, yet threatening someone that is fighting existential war. Una do well.
Please, bring on the sanctions on Israel I want to check something.

It's either there's real oil there on commercial quantity or there's a political calculation to this move. But one thing I think is this particular move, I give him kudos on it.
We will see the root of the equation after the puzzle had been resolved

Shedrack777:
Brighton ain't looking for any European sport because they can't catch up number 7 sport cus either Tottenham or Manchester United, 1 will qualify for UCL, palace and number 6 to play eul while number 7 plays eucl

Brighton had conference league to fight for as they and 8 are on same point. EPL is having six clubs in the next champion league. Two Europa and one conference league

The masses are still docile.
The right thing for the masses would have been to mount pressure on national assembly to amend our electoral law to be among other things include independent candidacy. That is when I know Nigerians are waking up against politicians. But, this aligning behind one politician to fight another politicians is a game plan already skewed against us.

As long as Atiku or any northern bigwig is on the ballot, the election is a walk over for Tinubu. Forget about rigging, he will win it loud and clear.
The politicians are not reasoning the way we masses reasons, so we can't understand them and they know how to make us do their bidding willingly or unwillingly.

Electoral amendment to include independent candidacy is the first step for the much touted Nigerians vs politicians

mrvitalis:
Obi accepting to be vice for 4 years to Atiku is the easiest way to defeat Tinubu even with rigging

Tinubu is too unpopular to rig in the North so that's gone

Atiku have so many boys in South South that can defend Obi votes from rigging... Especially in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and cross river

South West and middle belt would be where they need to work on to stop massive rigging

South East them no born Tinubu and APC well to rig it

This is politics not mathematics.
Politics is a game while mathematics is a science.
We are still talking of politicians here not Nigerians masses.
I pray Nigerians wake up from slumber and not all these politicians.

I come in peace

Czarugo007:
Good one Putin,Good one Putin..you will not be there to help Putin when the bombs start raining.anyway sha,Russians don’t even read nairaland.

Let's pray make this matter no set, even we in Africa go collect seriously.

I pray they settle it amicably

As much as I would have love this ticket, it's still a recipe for failure.
What is wrong in Atiku using his structure to support PO?
This is greed and desperation on the part of AA the loophole to floor the ticket by APC.
Tinubu collapsed his structure to support Buhari then, he was consolidating on that gains to project himself and he became unstoppable despite all. Why can't AA learn from that and do the same for Obi if he really loves Nigeria and not the personal grandstanding!

I need to know the party platform they are using, but if it's PDP it's already a loss ticket.

Fingers crossed

Trying to catch a ship that has sailed.
Assuming this was done in 2023, maybe we won't have Pa Tinubu there today, but greed and ego don't let them think deep.
Buhari that is not this political sagacious flogged this ticket in 2019, is it Pa Tinubu that is in every political party as a sitting president you want to challenge with that ticket?
That man on sit is a strategist, if the masses are not resolute enough in their decision, the program he will roll out towards the end of this year into next year will make many people forget about him and face their lives or japa while he's doing whatever.

Atiku should forget about 2027, support Obi then sponsor a vice for him, then let's see how it goes.


My own is we should not allow Pa Tinubu to foist his stooge on us when leaving

That's what our society has become. Civil servants had never have it rosy in this country, only that Tinubu worsen their plight.
That's the mindset of the now average Nigerian. It will get to a point that they will start saying it clearly that of you don't have money, you don't deserve to live.
We worship money, mock hardwork, discipline, virtue and other good morals and we are complaining of increased criminality, overpriced goods and services etc.
We can't eat our cakes and still have it.
We either continue like this until we end up consuming ourselves or we retrace our steps and start building a livable society.

This is also the reason our government is like this and we can't do anything as a people because we talked as if we're better than them but in reality we don't trust ourselves not to do worse than them.

It shall be well with us

I think it's Liverpool.

But I don't think Liverpool is rooting for him. My concern is that will his style of play gel well with current Liverpool stars of Virgil, Sallah?
I want him to prosper and win trophies anywhere he goes and I still want the best for my darling Reds.

We sit back and write rules to govern marriage as if we are the originator of the institution.
Have you considered that those that brought all this wokeism into marriage still have divorce in their dictionary and they told us the rate is high.
So if those things work, why divorce?

abhosts:
I find it hard to trust this guy because he been involved in 2 coups. All of Africa's worst tyrants started like this guy. He should leave all this anti-colonial propaganda and govern his people effectively.

As much as I love what he's saying, but, can he be trusted?
When I heard the background of late Robert Mugabe, with his actions when he was a sit tight leader in Zimbabwe, then, some host of others, I choose not to be swayed by this kind of talks and ideology. Some current African leaders used to be like this before they become what they are today.


So fingers crossed, observing him.

Until we deprogram our minds from colonialism, and become genuine people, embrace our culture and moral identity, development will be far from us as a nation

A great piece there!
