Imagine?

That was how they pushed the current calamity that is occupying aso rock down our throats.

The bible had put it clearly that affliction shall never rise again. Tinubu is a bigger affliction than the dullarrd. So his aspiration and ambition shall come to nothing.

Those trying to push this thing on us, should rather be concerned about Tinubu health... because I don't know what could make an ancestor urinate and defecate without being concious of it..so shameful.

I guess you feel that you must add your own salt & pepper to make it complete eh? ….urinate and defecate? Were you there to corroborate this claim? Better not put coal fire on your own head by declaring things you did not witness ….it is the surest way of finding yourself in Hell.
It is bad enough that the fate you had woven for yourself had put you in NIGERIA, but there are still worse places on Earth. So, better to sow good seeds that could land you in Buckingham Palace next time. Remember: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour!

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Nice one..a new Ukraine..
Putin must be so embarrassed and frustrated right now..

Hmmmm….this how a Third World War can easily start. If Ukraine’s request is granted, then further attack on the country can be construed as an attack on the EU as a block. Next thing, they will accept the country into NATO which is a military defence pact…..say no more!

olas24u:
You can imagine a banker regulating banks .,you will always have insider information ,that he pass on ,and other bankers will take advantage.you dont need to work,just buy dollars at 305 and go and sell ,he made some people billionares

Firstly, is that a legal way of making his billions that he can declare to the EFCC?…..secondly, is it fair on the masses who are not so privileged to have the same inside information?!

oilPUSSY:
Don't underestimate anyone, Most Nigerian Presidents since the inception of Democracy never struggled for such position, they got it on a platter of gold except Buhari who was loved by the two biggest political zones in his region ( North East and North West).. Apart from that, average desperate Nigerian politician always have a catastrophic/ ridiculous ending

At your question concerning the fund..

Apart from his policies, Emefiele has brought in three airplanes for his campaign. He was asked to resign. He has allocated about N500billion for his ambition,” a top source had revealed on Wednesday

Nigeria is a complex country that's very unpredictable

So, where did the money come from?….after all he’s supposed to be a salaried man as Governor of Central Bank. Even his previous employment as MD of a bank was salaried. Surely, EFCC will need to have a chat with him to be clear!

BeeBeeOoh:


Whatever Jibrin ate or smoked before saying this is very strong

These claims can easily be fact-checked…..no sensible person will lie about such things. If anyone doubts the veracity of the claims, you can easily investigate these to ascertain the truth about the claimed shareholdings!

ohiku4every1:
Yahaya Bello is not a Northerner, he is from Middle belt

Middle Belt is North Central as far as the demarcation of the six regions in Nigeria is concerned. When it suits them, they say they are part of the North but when it doesn’t, they say they’re Middle Beltans. Jokers!

Nwodosis:
Tribalism that is deep rooted in us is worst than racism! We don't have moral justification to complain of racism. Children and women of a particular tribe in Nigeria were almost wiped out with hunger in a war due to tribalistic hatred. That same tribe can't rule the country nor be allowed to have their independent nation, their offence being their tribe.

Search your conscience if you want to quote me.

It would not be correct to say their offence is simply their tribe. What is it about their tribe that stands out so negatively to make people be averse or antagonistic towards them?….to the point of not wanting to associate or co-exist with them? There is absolutely Nothing!

So, one cannot subscribe to the notion that it simply has to do with their “tribe”. Could the problem be traced to a domineering mindset or other attitudinal faults when relating to other groups within the multi-cultural setting? One cannot but wonder about this!
However, the earlier the real issue is identified and genuinely addressed, the better for everyone!

In the 1950s and early 1960s, all the tribes were co-existing as brothers and sisters without any issues. Nnamdi Azikiwe’s NCNC once won an election in the Western region even though people knew he was Igbo. So, what happened afterwards that led to mutual aversion among the tribes?
Anyway, one cannot compare such ‘tribalism’ based on ‘attitudinal fault lines’ to RACISM which simply dislikes or rejects purely on the colour of one’s skin, be you king, gentile or even a Saint!

Mooh247:




This is my favourite clause;

10. Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office – ministers, commissioners, special advisers, and others – must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate.


Will Prof Osinbajo, Ameachi, Dave Umahi, Orji Uzor Kalu and Rochas Okorocha resign by June 2022 so as to participate in the 2023 Election


.

It is believed that the Clause is only referring to those holding Political Offices held By Appointment and not by Election. Otherwise Governors, the VP and even the President seeking re-election for second term would have to resign their positions before they can re-contest!

Hisbah21:
so in a crucial meeting,we should be waiting for u to change ur diapers.. today in Nigeria tomorrow in London..another scam coming

And so what? What do they make adult diapers for? Even your current President may be wearing it. Do you know how many of the Elders in your village are wearing them? Respect your elders. Your time too is not far off….or are you praying for it to come early?

Blablamalala:
That's why I like him.

He speaks his mind….couldn’t care less what others think about him. Wailers can wail till doomsday!

Zonefree:
With all due respect Sir, your fitness is a
big problem.

If Ukraine president is not fit, how will he be able to lead over 40 million Ukrainians to war against Russia?

One need to be fit, both physically nd mentally to lead the most populous black nation in the world.

Civilian Presidents are not elected to physically fight in a war. What are the Generals and professional soldiers there for? Even President Buhari who is a General has shown himself to be powerless against Boko Haram and the bandits…..our Security is presently at the worst state since Nigeria’s independence. When people talk about ‘capacity to govern’, this does not entail physically fighting in wars!

Themandator:
Be the first to know that all the Aspirants will step-down for his anointed candidate.

As for the NASS, they won't all vote in one direction.... Interest and who is going to supervise your election.. Buhari.. Will be a key factor for them

All the aspirants will step down….are you joking? Some people will rather die than do that. Some of the Presidential aspirants fought IBB and his brother Abacha to a standstill….so Buhari’s partisanship means nothing to them. Nigerians are no longer thinking like people living in a banana republic. You saw how the CSO just went on protest to force the signing of the Electoral Amendment Bill into law……the guy was vacillating and was not willing to sign but he had to in the end…otherwise the veto would have been countered. Just keep watching the movie!

TCD:
Which african country is this? Better to specify so we can advise you better before you leave fry pan enter fire

True talk, if it’s South Africa where they hate their fellow African brothers and want to kill them for suya, better to think twice o!

Themandator:
Sir, Buhari just gave APC a new chairman by just gathering the governor's

As their convention draws close some aspirant will even see it that they are headed no where Nad drop out.. Some will do it on the convention grounds

Right now he has taken over the entire structure of his party through proxies and already dictating who is going to be what are the centre... It is through those structures that delegstes, apart from statutory ones, are selected or picked

True, but don’t forget that the House of Reps members (360 of them) are also going to be delegates…not just governors or those that can be teleguided by Buhari. The House of Reps inserted that Clause that every aspirant must agree in writing for a genuine Consensus to take place!
How did Obasanjo lose his third term bid?….they sabotaged it at the National Assembly. The President does not always have his way!
Even, the Party positions that he virtually dictated is already being questioned openly by some aspirants who said they have been campaigning for the past one year….they can still throw a spanner in the works at the Convention venue!

BlazinGlory40:
Consensus is part of the bill sir!

It’s a qualified Consensus….requires that every one of the aspirants must agree in writing otherwise no deal. Can you envisage a situation where every aspirant agrees to surrender for another man to take the Prize in this Nigeria? It will require a Miracle!

Rajiolaade:
Hackers go chop wella, conflicting results will flood inecs server tire.best hacker party will win elections ,remember "dominion" in US.

Why do people always think of evil ways to sabotage the system? Small time now they will say they’re candidates for Heaven when it’s time to depart ….not knowing that our works (thoughts, words and deed) must follow us….and such evil things cannot enter Heaven!

Realdeals:
You are quite right, but, it all depends on how INEC decide to practice it.

It also means Presidential primaries are most likely to be conducted using INDIRECT mode …..because Consensus don get K leg now since every presidential aspirant must agree in writing before a Consensus candidate can emerge.
This is good for Nigerian democracy. No more Buhari anointed somebody…..the people or their representatives must now choose!

AdaNri1:
Well done to all those who twisted his arm

It means Presidential primaries are most likely to be conducted using INDIRECT mode …..because Consensus don get K leg now since every presidential aspirant must agree in writing before a Consensus candidate can emerge.

Drsnives:
If i wake n hear yurobas drumming for war I'll simply go back to sleep.

Westerners and fear are like 5 n 6

That is because they place a high premium on LIFE…..it is a mark of spiritual maturity. You cannot give Life, so you should not take life or put another’s life in jeopardy. Some people call themselves Christians and shout the Name of Jesus all over the place but do not heed the Commandments of the Lord. One of them clearly states: Thou Shalt Not Kill.
The more noble and evolved you become spiritually, the more you appreciate the Grace of the Creator that granted you LIFE. In fact, all living things become sacred and you will dare not take life unless it is necessary for your own survival or protection. So, think again before taking a great attribute for weakness. It takes a lot of inner Strength to maintain self-control and to resist Evil.

MadamVanessa:



Smelly shameless poo poo man

Just keep digging your own grave spiritually…..Remember: Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour!

christejames:
Hope he came with a better brand of diapers because Kabieyesi hates fecal stench in all form

His urchins should make him walk on eggshells to avoids gaffs and reinterpreting of his statements.


Welcome to the ancient aboriginal kingdom of Oduduwa the Pee-Poo's leader.

No worries, the diaper will soak wella wella this time….thunder does not strike same place twice!
Hwvr, if I were you I would worry more about all the sleepy presidential aspirants from the South East…..do they expect it to be given to them on a platter of gold? It doesn’t work like that o….they’ll all end up by the wayside while debating which make of diaper Tinubu is wearing!
That’s what the guy meant when he said he’s ready to get “dirtied” (i.e. abused, insulted, derided, etc) while keeping his eyes fixed on the goal….because he knows he’s fighting with pigs!

Truthisunique2:
the problem is you guys have eyes but can't see

Should I remind you that buhari has included consesus as a recognised method of choosing president in parties

It would become law in no time so where is litigation coming from, and why do you think the president would go all the way to do such?

Nobody is stopping anyone from contesting yet the party can decide they want to zone their presidency for equity sake (you can only wail)

But the party has the mandate to always ensure equity according to its constitution, if we say only south should contest have we not locked out northern people like that too?

But your hypocrisy doest see such, you want equity for only south but don't want equity where south already has secretary

They would all come to a common sense unanimous decision of zoning to south south because you can't have secretary and president

If south west was wise they should be protesting that secretary post but they have swallowed the bait

First off, I do not recall coming to your house to borrow a pair of eyes with which to see….and I’m already a full grown adult. So, I must have been managing somehow without your help. So, pls learn to make your arguments without being insulting….it would be no less acceptable!

Secondly, the consensus being introduced by Buhari and his cohorts into the Electoral Bill now carries a “Rider” that ALL the interested parties must agree in writing to such selection, so this has to be a genuine Consensus not a position dictated by the tin-god Buhari or any other autocrat. People are not stupid…that’s one of the reasons he has not mustered the courage to sign the Bill up to now!

Lastly, the NWC of the Party cannot stop anyone from any part of the Country from contesting….just as nobody stopped Okorocha, Oshiomole and Kwankwaso from contesting alongside Buhari in 2015….whether or not there is consensus in the Electoral Law, it cannot deprive people of their fundamental right of participation….they cannot refuse to sell you the form or collect millions of Naira for the form and deny you participation on the day of the event. Such idea of Consensus only works as long as the entirety of the interested parties are willing to work with it. So, this idea of micro-zoning during Primaries is not going to be feasible as was done for Party offices!
No need to argue the matter. We should just get ourselves comfortable chairs to watch the movie. It promises to be an eye-opener!

Truthisunique2:
you can only rant online

Every post so far has been micro zoned for equity, it would be injustice if south west collect the highest post so far that belongs to south and still want highest for executive.

When oshomole was chairman from south, the secretary was Mai Bumi from north east, the president didn't go to north east it went to north west

Notice how APC has continuously been hammering on the word we would do it as it was before

You are looking at things purely from a narrow perspective of self-interest.
Did Buhari obtain the APC ticket through micro-zoning to the North West in 2015? The answer is No.
He contested for it with Oshiomole, Kwankwaso, Okorocha and others….and he got the highest number of votes. That’s how presidential and governorship tickets are secured in Primaries….not by dictation from some Almighty Buhari in the name of consensus!
Any attempt to refuse others the right to contest will end in a myriad of litigations with possibility of the party losing the election. Do not confuse it with Party offices or positions when one man can simply dictate his choice to the party members!

Mynd44:
Yahaya Bello has been played out.

Game on for Tinubu, Ayade and Okorocha.

Everyone else na speculation until they declare their intention

Good point! What about our SouthSouth guy displaying Daura turban all over the place….has he not declared yet? Maybe they will spring him last minute as the concensus joker!

Truthisunique2:
egbon their would be no primaries because Buhari is going for consensus

Few weeks to convention APC would announce that it has micro-zoned presidency to south south

Nobody would make noise because in the south the south west have gotten the important secretary post.

So their really is no politician in south south aside Amaechi and Akpabio, between them their would be consesus that Amaechi have done more for the party since foundation

Buhari doesn't even need to do much because the consensus would be loud and clear, even if they say primaries for south south it would still be loud and clear

Can the NWC of the party micro-zone the Presidentail ticket to any region within the South? I doubt if they will dare do that!
Who is going to vote for them if they sideline the real voters in choosing the flag-bearer of the party? Is it only the voters in the micro-zoned area that will vote? We are not talking of Party positions, my friend!
Remember what happened in Anambra State when the unpopular APC governorship aspirant (Ubah) was left in the lurch looking for the voters who supposedly voted in the primaries to select him (which was just a ruse…..a contrived primaries).
I bet you, if they try to micro-zone the APC presidencial ticket, APC will definitely lose. Mark my words!!

PrinceOfLagos:
Welcome back GEJ

It will never happen. Don’t you people have any shame….APC called someone useless less than 4 years ago and they will now eat their vomit by inviting him to come and lead a party that was formed to remove him. I guess you will now call Deziani back as Petroleum Minister to come and loot some more. Shameless people!

drlateef:
What did 8 years of Obasanjo and 6 years of z Jonathan give you? Olodo.

Nice one! They’re soooo myopic in their thinking!

LegendHero:
Babatunde Raji Fashola, my most favorite politician.

In summary, below are the infrastructures he mentioned:

— Apapa-Oworonshoki road in Lagos state
— Bodo-Bonny Bridge in Rivers
— second Niger Bridge (to be completed)

Indeed, Fashola is a tried and tested man and humble too. Do you think he doesn’t want to be President?…..but do you hear him making noises like the Latter Day Pastor turned politician who is yet to demonstrate any ability to cope with fire on the mountain?

Pravedk:
At the end of the day, whoever the north supports wins the APC presidential ticket. And mind you, the core north ALWAYS vote in block, keyword BLOCK.

The race belongs to either Amaichi or Osinbajo. Whoever the north supports between the two is Winning. Take my statement to the bank and cash on it.

It's a no brainer to the Iragbiji old man that his ambition is death on arrival. I have lived, worked and so politics in the north. Dude is going nowhere

But I see Amaichi becoming the chosen one.

Why do I say that? Buhari! That man is not good at many things. But he always repay good gestures. Amaechi has done sacrifices that Buhari will not forget. And typical of Buhari, h doesn't care about Nigeria. He only cares about what and how he fills. Go kill yourself, if Buhari like someone? Forget about it

The bulk of the delegates are members of the National Assembly. Some of their leaders already declared for Tinubu whilst he was in London. If it’s indirect primaries, it’s almost certain Tinubu will win. If they try to dribble him through Consensus for another individual, he will almost certainly leave the APC for another party!

Omoodua007:
Your entitled to wanting same faith ticket
But the reality of Nigeria’s presidency is it’s a balance og both faiths Nigeria is even 50% Muslim & Christain
So it’s equity we are asking for

…..that’s what your so-called Owners of Nigeria have fed the masses with. Remember, Religion they say is the opium of the masses. You are allowing them to play with your minds….hence they manipulate even your “thoughts”. We are supposed to be ‘human beings with freewill’ for heavens sake not hot-house plants. People should break free in their thinking, in their mindset and put greater emphasis on what improves their lives. So, when the Ownersof Nigeria come to make their noises about Religion next time, you can boldly tell them to Piss Off!

Omoodua007:
For some reason your not okay with Christian deputies for Christian governors despite same language but you want a multiethnic nation to vote Muslim Muslim ticket smh
Unless BAT gets a Christian northern VP
He should forget about same faith ticket
I trust the owners of Nigeria to step in like they did 2015 when they see a same faith ticket

….Owners of Nigeria? Have they given you light in your homes? Have they provided the basic necessities of life for your family?
So, where is your individuality? If each person expresses what he feels is right, how can any elitist group claim to be Owners of Nigeria? So, they own your minds too because you allow them to play games with your mind by introducing things like Religion ….the opium of the masses!
Personally, I do not give a sh!t whether two Christians or two Muslims govern Lagos or any other place for that matter! I do not allow third parties to play with my mind…..and the masses should learn to resist this tendency if they ever wish to be Free!

Omoodua007:
No problem he can contest senate and get a Muslim deputy
If Lagos , allows a Christian deputy with Sanwo olu and let’s a Christian succeed him and sane thing in oyo & Ogun then Tinubu is free to field Muslim/Muslim

Honestly, a people truly deserve whatever sh!t they find themselves in. Just imagine the inconsequential considerations that are being put on the front burner in the 21st century task of nation-building. Is it any wonder that the whole country is in virtual darkness? No jobs for graduates, dollar equates to 500 Naira and people are talking about Religion in choosing who governs them!
