In saner climes, Tinubu ought to be disqualified for a variety of reasons, including his age, his background of being an ex-convict, drug cases, hooliganism, and most importantly, his untraceable source of money, which has been linked to a variety of illegal activities. Tinubu is willing to engage in underhanded tactics to achieve his goals, but his deteriorating health makes it unlikely that he will survive the full eight years. He exalts himself to the level of a god and exhibits pride and arrogance. The reason for this is that he believes that everyone in high places was connected to him in some way or another by his support. In addition to this, the fact that he is a member of the ruling party should immediately disqualify him because of the incalculable amount of hardship that the party, which he established, has brought.


Accordingly, for Atiku, he is even more dangerous than Tinubu. Atiku is a political prostitute who is only concerned with advancing his own career and has no other priorities. If he loses, he'll spend the rest of his life in Dubai, because he's never shown any concern for the Nigerian people in his life. How is it that the PDP flag bearer that guarantees you constant power is also the primary supplier of Mikano Generators? Atiku appears to be in a worse state of illness and has a more troubled past, but everyone seems to be more concerned about Tinubu's gaffes and health.


On the other side, Obi engages in a kind of politics based on sympathy. To present oneself in the most favorable light requires its own unique brand of promotion. He is a Marxist in the truest sense of the word. Although he may not have stolen like the previous two presidential aspirants or had a shady past, during his former government, he did not carry out all of the policies that he is pledging to carry out today. It's important for leaders to lead by example. So, I am not carried away by a propaganda type of politics using borrowed empathy and subterfuge.

Although Obi is the lesser of two evils, evil is still evil even in its weaker form. It's possible that he'll put forth effort to demonstrate that he will work better than the other two if elected, but are people who's ruled before the only people in Nigeria? Tinubu may actually be a successful politician, but if he wins, you can forget about the presidency in Nigeria for all of time; his family tree and loyalists will control Nigeria for all of eternity. Because of the pressure that is currently being placed on history, Atiku might also work.

The trio share a thing in common: anyone who wins will attempt to clear people's doubts that they are better than their opponents and predecessors.

But fck it!

The reality is that Nigeria is currently in such disarray that it will be challenging for any incoming president to run an effective government. Where exactly does he intend to begin? Those enormous loans? Terrorism as a means of undermining public support for political opponents? Which is worse, nepotism or tribalism? Where exactly!

It is not an admission of ignorance to point out the obvious fact that the same group of people has held power from the very beginning. Yes. As if they were the only people in the country...and after serving as governors, they go on to serve as senators, run for other positions again, run for presidential positions, and the process repeats itself.

Because we do not operate under a real federalist system, Nigeria would benefit most from a regional form of governance. We have a gerontocratic do-whatever system of government, and it is expensive and inefficient. There is no rule of law, and there is no clear separation of power. There are no checks and balances. There is no independent judiciary. Excessive power is centralized on the chief Executive. We use a constitution that was borrowed from England, and we did not draft it, or even know that all what's there doesn't totally apply to the Nigeria setting. We need a new constitution drafted to the knowledge of Nigerians. We keep a very costly system in place that was designed to reward the same people who established the system, but to exclude others from participation.

We didn't even agree to be together as a country. From colonialism and adminstrative convenience by the colonialists, a baby country and the remains of pre-colonial era got together by power-hungry elites and military men who shed blood to be the head...the head of embezzlement and control.

Even Buhari today also partook in a coup of then...but they deleted history in secondary schools so you won't hate your oppressors. This was the same format the Englishmen used to trap Nigerians...or the entity that made up Nigeria...by introducing religion.


It is safe to state that Tinubu and the APC, Atiku and the PDP, and LP and the PDPLP all owe an apology to the Nigerian people for not assuming even one government office and allowing others to hold other positions. I mean, others who have never ruled in any position before.


Are we meant to be ruled!

You only visit us after every four years. And after you win or fail, we don't hear from you till another four years! You only care for us every four years. We are your puppets, agreed.

The election is getting close, and there is a good chance that it will be manipulated. It is in the nature of Nigerian governance and politics that we would always lament because naturally, Africans are too religious and very wicked.



I endorse no candidate since all Nigerian politicians have failed.

You are free to endorse your own devil, anyways.

Burgerlomo:
Any Court rulings that is going to benefit the masses is highly welcome

shegz24:
These opposition parties (PDP and LP) are just confused.

Today they are hailing Emefiele for the policy as it wont let APC politicians buy votes.

Tomorrow they are criticizing the APC government for the same policy that brought hardship to the masses.

Confused lot.

JackDaAlienz:
Some Nigerians are just Stupid
You think new notes will stop vote buying
I laugh in Japanese and Swahili
Una never see anything,
Boko Haram will get the new notes before you and your family standing under hot sun in bank ATM.

When I warned people that this policy will not work, They insulted me. Now it has backfired on the masses they are crying and doing protest

Una go cry well we'll, stupid Nigerians
Na who dey suffer now??
Even Tinubu they said it will affect don already order 4 bullion vans carrying 1 billion new notes each to his mansion.
You and your poor family dey under hot sun dey wait and after waiting under hot sun, na still old notes bank go give una

The rich and corrupt politicians you want to affect with your policy
Already has the new notes in bulk and millions in their mansion
And you that support the policy haven't even seen the new naira notes.
There are better creative ways to tackle vote buying and corruption but to change naira to fight corruption is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
