We'll take them seriously when they trek to Abuja from there.

Shooyie:
You have to believe in someone's ability to work and be good at it and that's simply what it is, people believe in Osinbajo’s ability to rule.

The way Osinbajo believes in Buhari's capacity and worked with him for 7 years and accomplished what?

Justiceleague1:
You Nigerians are something else really..how do you expect Osinbajo to do anything when he's not the president??!!!!
You Nigerians really don't know what'sgood for you

So a vice president is impotent and has no influence? I'm learning that for the first time in my life?

Valkrie:
The question you should be asking is what made Tinubu think he can ever be the president of this country? One on one tinubu is no match for osibanjo in a free and fair election.....!!!

In southwest politics, power and influence just give it to ogun people...!!!

If you think the whole yoruba race would support a bastereď, criminal and a crackhead drug dealer from nowhere to represent and lead them talk more of the whole Nigeria.....then you must have your head checked.....!!!

The only people behind tinubu are the agberos in lagos and it only end there.....!!!

That means that you do not know the power of money. Nigerian political power is not based on popular choice but on how you're able to manipulate the system. Cash for cash, Tinubu is well ahead of all the contestants. You're free to call him a bast..d but you're not his mother. Neither can you prove that is enough reason for him not be become president. Nigerian presidency is still to a large extent, cash and carry.

"Oga, what are you bringing to leadership that you have not already brought in your present role as a VP?"
"How will your government differ from your government?"

orisa37:
We have seen OSINBAJO'S CV.
Let us see TINUBU'S CV

Oga, it is not a matter of CV, Africans are deceived by CVs and whiteman's paper. Show me Thomas Sankara's CV. Yet he's the only African leader to look the IMF in the eye the way China did and lifted millions out of poverty. If your useless paper certificates means shit, why are African countries moving in circles for nearly a century after the white man taught you his ways? Why is it that Japan is 1st world without whiteman's colonization. Abeg, your Osinbajo CV don't mean shit. After all, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. What has he accomplished as VP and the leader of the economic team?

The Christians will vote Obi, while the Muslims go for Amaechi.

helinues:
But he is not languishing in prison like your brothers who have been incarcerated across the globe for drug offense

So was it luck he wasn't jailed or just too smart for law enforcement? In any case, a man who is so smart that he evaded prison term is smart enough to make himself president.

Jman06:
In a sane society, Tinubu cannot even stand in a contest with Osinbajo for whatever reason. But being the kind of society Nigeria is, we have criminals like Tinubu dreaming of ruling the country.

However, I know that the voice of light will defeat that of darkness.

Osinbanjo for president!

And how did you conclude that Tinubu is darkness while Osinbajo is light? What instrument did you use to detect and measure their luminosity?

Rugaria:
If Osibanjo and Hushcobar Tinubu are from the East, inebriated partizan urchins will be here to tell you that igbos can not rule Nigeria because "They are not united"..Now they're all quiet as if there's a masterstroke of a game going on..
We all can see how sophisticated ewedu unity is working pretty fine on this one..

suffersticated

We all must concede that even Osinbajo knows he cannot match Tinubu in the primaries. Tinubu has money. I mean enough money to bribe all bribeables. So what could have given Osibanjo the confidence that somehow he would beat a man that can command a convoy of bullion vans at the snap of the finger? This APC primaries would be a delight to watch. At the end of the day, it would be money (Tinubu) against power (Osinbajo, Amaechi and others). I really wonder what's going on in Tinubu's mind. This must have been so unexpected from his former boy. I feel for the man. A loss would be devastating.

He only said the truth. The Yoruba hatred for Ndigbo is real. Even more dangerous than the Fulani bloodletting all over Nigeria.

In a nutshell, it means:

Buhari is incompetent, but do not link Tinubu or Osibade to him
It also means that Atiku is corrupt but Obasanjo must not be linked to him

In other words, we only work as catalysts like enzymes but are never part of the reaction ONLY when the going is bad.

But...
We sure don't mind blowing our trumpet and claiming credit when (rarely) things go right.

Mooh247:
Low self-esteem is constantly trying to boost your ego by dragging others down to your level of madness and ridiculous state

Could your answer the question or are you another Nairaland BMC zombiee? The paltry 30k you guys live on affect your reasoning.

But quick to condemn Igbo, the only tribe resisting bloodshed by Fulani militia?

I saw a postwhere IPOB annonced it would enforce ban on open grazing. It was not surprising that many hate filled Nigerians were against it. I want to ask these doltss one question. Would the MB being massacred daily if they were as premptive as IPOB? Would Yoruba people be on exile?

What I have concluded is that these people would rather die that see Igbo make progress. They're just like a drowning man that wants to drown with the only person willing to rescue them. What a shame.

Mooh247:
Parliamentary politics is different from the kind of democracy we have now... Comparing Akintola's situation to this is nonsense. Action group and APC are far different

I just laugh when people bring Akintola'a issue here

Okay, use the Tinubu-Osibade cancellation politics.

Mooh247:
That's your opinion... Because FiFa wants to manipulate reality to suite neocolonialist agenda doesn't mean Yorubas should not have options going to eagles square on May 29

I don't begrudge them the options. What I'm excited about is that they're not as suffersticated as they claimed. Otherwise, all would have lined behind the bullion van guy. As things stand, they stand zero chance of clinching APC ticket. In fact, they have minified their chances of leveraging block votes from Yoruba delegates. At the end of the day, SS/SE will clinch it. They're the deserving regions

Mooh247:




Two of my children are competing in the Olympics... This only increases my chances of becoming a father to a Gold Medalist

Yorubas are far more educated, liberal and sophisticated to play politics of bitterness or forceful consensus

May Eledumare let the best man win among the two sons of Odua contesting for the number one office



.

Like the politics of love between Awolowo and Akintola? And Tinubu and Osibade?

Mooh247:
Two of my children are competing in the Olympics... This only increases my chances of becoming a father to a Medalist

Hahaha.... 2 of your children have been seeded in the same group. That increases the chance of elimination. Why do you think FIFA uses past champions to seed? They're avoiding early elimination for Europe and South America because Africa and Asia don't count in their scheme of things.

What is obvious is that one of these men have backing of the powers that be, with the single aim of neutralizing the other.

I have been amused with the brewing war between these two men. I wonder if they would replicate the storm in a teacup between Awolowo and Akintola. Why this is interesting and what I'm looking out for is how these two men will effectively cancel out each other and give another region a deserved win. What is it again about betrayal and two-facedness? I have always known that it'll come to this. What's amusing is that their followers are all now confused. This is a true definition of tribal implosion out of greed for undeserved power.

intervention3:
the problem you people have is always attaching SS to SE young man, south south is south south and south east is south east, there's nothing like ss/se.

You are lying. SE is Igbo. SS are Igbo and other tribes. Interesting fact that you do not know is that Igbo and at least, 3 SS tribes are distant cousins. The Efiks, Annang and the Ibibio all have cultural and filial affinity to Igbo. Google is your friend.

Not this kind of restaurant oga. Na brokenness dey do u.
The day I visited uyo and decided to eat at the tropicana, I entered one restaurant there. The menu was like journal as described by OP. The least price on the menu was about 3k or so. I just stood up and left

Imagine 3k a plate for this bUhari gournment

The signs are already there that 2023 will be hot, especially in Yorubaland. You can smell the polarization within APC there as Yoruba politicians size one another like in a cat fight.

Tinubu/Gbaja vs Osinbajo/Aregbesola

It;s obvious that these two camps are poised for battle of wits reminiscent of the Awolowo vs Akintola conflict. It's obvious that none of the camps will give in to the other as they fight for power. Imagine what 2023 will be like as they cancel out while the trophy goes to SE/SS/N. What is obvious is that as they bicker and break ranks, power has already eluded Yoruba.

So which camp are you rooting for? For me o...no Yoruba should be president. Let them backstab one another for now.

My dear, I entered one today. Imagine a plate of fufu and soup for #500 in this Buhari regime.

In Nigeria, I think 200 million naira. In reality, wealth is having Jesus, the currency of heaven.

If they would, it wouldn't be in the news.

redPUSSY:
South West will experience a heavy apathy because their hope has been shattered.. Some of them don't even know whom to vote for because they see everyone after Ore as Igbo.. Ajomobi once insulted Uche secondus calling him Omo Igbo despite his exposure and education.. It's only on nairaland I am seeing this division..

North would be very confused on whom to vote for because they don't know who is who again .. If they could see Akwa ibomite as Igbos based on the past and what we read online you will understand where I am heading to.. Elrufai's son was insulting Akwa ibomite 2 yrs ago thinking he was insulting Igbos despite his exposure in politics too. If they could see minorities in SS as Igbos how much more about Amechi who is Igbo, though came from Igbo speaking part of SS that's having identity Crisis..

SS votes would be divided in favour of PDP because Amechi support base in SS is poor

SE will vote enmass for PDP

People will only vote base on political party lines if such PDP and APC zone their tickets to SE and SS

You're close to being on point. SE is PDP. SS will be 50-50. Voter apathy in the north and SW though APC may carry the day.
