FreedomfromtheT:Why didn’t APC choose one of them? I’m sure you already know the answer to that question…..they cannot win a national election the way Nigeria is presently constituted. When they asked the South to unite, some people refused and insisted on going their separate ways. This is the fallout of that divided house. The principle of “divide and rule” continues to flourish where minorities refuse to employ sensible tactics of uniting but rely more on sentiment to direct affairs that have the potential to spell doom to millions of their people. Think about it! |
Okobola146:The usual load of rubbish! Being someone’s in-law doesn’t mean you are or were ever close associates or confidants. If this Tee-Mac guy is so convinced that the man is a liar, why has he not deemed it fit to persuade his cousin (or whatever Remi Tinubu is to him) to leave her husband on account of this claimed untruthfulness. If the donkey says Tinubu is 86 years old….that’s simply an outlandish claim and enough to put a lie to any closeness to Remi Tinubu. This Tee-Mac guy needs to go get a proper job and earn a living in a more decent way than trying to tarnish other people’s reputation. What a goon! |
FreedomfromtheT:I said…”Competence and Capacity to Deliver”. Those are two distinct factors at play. The competence factor still satisfies your latter definition, doesn’t it? Anyway, no point quibbling about the factors the flagbearer should or should not place emphasis on. Good thing Nigeria is not like USA (in this respect) where you only have one or the other choice of party to vote for. At the last count I believe we had 18. So, everyone should make his choice and stop haranguing those who have chosen not to follow your own particular choice of political arrangement. It’s a free country for Heaven’s sake! ![]() |
FreedomfromtheT:There are many factors at play, all of which can affect the outcome of the election. Competence, Religion, Ethnicity are all factors which the flagbearer need to weigh and determine which carries more weight to enable him win the election. At the end of the day, elections are about winning creditably…..not about mere participation as in the Olympics. The flagbearer may also be of the view that certain factors like Religion or Ethnicity need to be de-emphasised in our polity while other factors such as “Competence and Capacity to Deliver” should be given a higher premium. It is therefore a balancing act that each flagbearer is engaged in. After all said and done, the voter retains his/her PVC to do as s/he pleases and thereafter face the consequences of making a wrong choice. Simplicita! |
Arrowss:Find a way to do what? To run to Mozambique or to Kuala Lumpur and go and be washing toilets there? Some advice for our Youth. ![]() |
KanwuliaExtra:So, what’s wrong in refusing to be pretentious like the rest of the crowd? What is wrong in wearing your grey hairs the way things have turned out with your advancing age? Do we all have wear false Brazilian wigs, false eyelashes, false buttocks, etc, in order to impress people and make them think we are what we’re not? Surely, his charming wife has not complained to you. So, get off your high horse and stay in your lane, my friend! |
FreedomfromtheT:It’s nothing but sour grapes…..one of them was expecting to be picked as Asiwaju’s running mate but they were overlooked. Simplicita! ![]() |
vicdom:Far from it. I doubt if he’s concerned about his constituency in any way or form. It’s just sour grapes….he was expecting to be picked as Asiwaju’s running mate but he was overlooked. Simplicita! ![]() |
hasanayomide3:Coming with healing eh? Better not promise what you cannot deliver o….for Nigeria’s problems, water don pass gari! ![]() |
siofra:Can’t you see that everything in the Material World is transient? Everything must die, decompose and eventually rot away….including your handsome Romeo. Doesn’t it make more sense to look for lasting qualities that can stand the test of time? Is it any wonder that some unscrupulous men keep using you ladies like football….because you’re always running after what a million other women are also pursuing. Would they ever use their common sense? It is doubtful. |
Moh247:You wicked, man!! ![]() |
Idiko1:After reading the excerpt below, you can go and tell your arrant nonsense to the Governor and the Sports Minister…since you know Tobi Amusan so intimately and how she’s been funding her athletic career. Schmutz!! ![]() "We congratulate and celebrate with Ms. Tobi Amusan, a proud daughter of Ogun State whom I adopted a few months ago to help her career, on her gold-winning performance in the women's 100-meter hurdles in a time that broke the world mark (12.06 seconds). "As a State, we are pleased with your accomplishments and wish you continued success in the years to come." On April 26, the governor adopted Amusan. The adoption came after Mr. Sunday Dare, the minister of youth and sports development, paid a visit to the governor. Through his adopt-a-talent program, state governors, private citizens, and corporate entities adopted some of the Tokyo Olympics athletes by contributing money directly to their accounts to aid in their early preparations for the Games. Speaking to Sunday Dare on a courtesy call, Mr. Abiodun said he decided to adopt Amusan not just because she is a native of the region but also because she embodies the talent and perseverance of Nigerians. |
God1000:Did he collect your PVC from you? Is it in the Constitution that the two first citizens must be Muslim/Christian or Christian/Muslim? What about idol-worshippers and even Atheists or Agnostics….are they not also Nigerians or don’t they have the same fundamental human rights as the religionists? People should come off their high horse for Heaven’s sake! ![]() |
nlfpmod:Lolzzzz! ![]() You guys have no respect for your incoming President oo! If he’s the one anointed to bail Nigeria out of its present predicament, there’s very little your human machinations can do to change it. Pray that the Will of the Almighty be done in all things…not your own will. To think that the majority of you guys call yourselves Christians….what a laugh!! |
otipoju:The adoption was about funding her athletic career so that she could put in her best performance without having to worry about how to sustain herself during the period of preparation. This has paid off by her winning the Gold medal and breaking the World record. One cannot but wonder who is actually the ‘stupid one’. ![]() |
AntiTerrorist:One of the well-known procured hack writers that have bastardised the profession of Journalism in Nigeria. What a hustle! ![]() |
Fira09:Lolzzzzz! :He has already lost, my friend….he lost the day he abandoned PDP that has the capacity to promote and fight his cause. He also missed the opportunity of springing back by refusing to be Kwankwaso’s VP in NNPP. Those two errors of judgment have sealed his fate. Mark it well! ![]() |
ThrownBack:Are you sure? ….Or is that what your ancestors in the Beyond are whispering in your ears? Just wondering o! ![]() |
Antimarraige:Hmmm….They shout Hosanna today and Crucify him tomorrow! Very typical. They will do the same to Obi and Datti soon! ![]() |
Soso990240:Listen to yourself and see how ridiculous your reasoning is…..Atiku joined Tinubu’s party like a Normal politician and he just contested and won the ticket without the Leader of the party having a say about it….nah yam? It’s like someone joining Awolowo’s UPN in those days and the person just miraculously becoming the flagbearer without Awo’s say-so. Please wake up from your slumber!! ![]() |
Soso990240:Is it not obvious who was giving whom a platform to use? Who was the Leader of ACN (Yoruba party) at the time, was it not Tinubu? Who was eventually allowed to fly the flag of ACN? So, who was helping whom to realise their Presidential ambition? It is clear that Tinubu had offered Atiku the ACN platform because in 2007, it was the turn of the North, and therefore Tinubu did not need to “lobby” Atiku but was in a stronger position to “demand” the VP position if indeed he had wanted it. It’s just common sense! ![]() |
vicdom:Tinubu’s account makes more sense because ACN was his party and he offered the platform to Atiku to use in order to realise his presidential ambition. So, there can be no question of lobbying Atiku for the VP position. Atiku was not in a position to reject Tinubu as VP if Tinubu had wanted it…..otherwise the platform would have simply been removed from him. It’s just common sense. Who does Mr Atiku think he’s fooling? ![]() |
Omooba77:Mr Atiku, are you not living on this Earth? You talk as if Nigeria is located in Mars where the inhabitants have not experienced COVID and it’s economic impact, insecurity resulting from ISWAP’s activities and Gaddafi’s elimination, increased global warming and its effect on agricultural production, etc. People like Atiku are only after position for the sake of it….nothing new to offer. This man and Obasanjo fought each other sooo much that newspapers used to carry incredible accounts daily about goings-on within the seat of power that no sane person can ever wish to repose power in the hands of this man ever again. At 75, he should be thinking about giving account of his misdeeds to his Creator and asking for His forgiveness!! |
StrongandMighty:Who is Obi? If he meets his Oga, he will prostrate first. It’s Yes Sir, Yes sir, we go dey hear! Maybe they will make him Minister of Finance after losing the Presidential election….provided he has closed down his Pandora box, of course! ![]() |
Mandesz:Good luck to you nah….why make noise about it? You can move to SE with Obi after losing the 2023 election….Who cares? ![]() |
Islie:Tinubu’s account makes more sense because ACN was his party and he offered it to Atiku to use that platform to realise his presidential ambition. So, Atiku was not in a position to reject Tinubu as VP if Tinubu had insisted on it…otherwise the platform would have simply been removed from him. It’s just common sense. Who does Mr Atiku think he’s fooling? ![]() |
Zonefree:How did your environment become insane? Have you ever asked yourself what was your own contribution to that state of affairs that culminated in your being born there? After all, they say birds of a feather, flock together! You cannot absolve yourself of all blame….can you now? ![]() |
Juanmike:What has their unborn children got to do with it? Stupidly you heave a heavy burden on yourself when you try to curse people because when the curse cannot find a deserving ground to land it will simply return to sender. That is how the Law works. So, go and get some sense before trying to curse people you do not know. Ignorance is no excuse in this matter…..stop trying to shoot yourself in the head with a loaded gun!! |
doneback04:….there is a difference between ‘none’ and ‘one’. Can they plan any northern agenda in the presence of even one Yoruba man? ![]() |
Newton2024:Yoruba Nation, Oduduwa Republic, Ijaw Nation, Igbo Nation, Niger Delta Avengers…..all loading after 2023 elections! |
doneback04:Is Dimeji Bankole a northerner? Think before writing please! |
Johnrake69:It’s either that or PDP and LP will be completely decimated at the elections. I suspect the latter will happen. Keep watching! |
