PoliticsRe: Tinubu Must Name Something Big After Chinua Achebe by shinealight(m): 11:15am On Jul 14, 2024
Why must he name something big after Achebe? Was Achebe the twin brother of Soyinka? Even if he was, do they both have to swim the same waters in life? Perhaps people like you should have insisted that Soyinka should also have died when Achebe was called home.
What a ridiculous demand on the President!! cool cool

Stories.

It is only applicable when the federal government stops controlling the resources of the states. No governor will implement it and nothing will happen. Most African countries have very weak institutions.
Did you not understand that funds will now be channeled directly to the ELECTED Local Govt Administrators?
How does the State Governor come into the matter again? To implement what? huh

Why didn’t they use your so-called EndSars anger to support Sowore who was a more worthy Activist with a large following from ALL sections in the 2019 Presidential elections and was also running for President in 2023? huh
Truth is …the Obidient Movement is a sectional agitation (with a tint of IPOB support) geared towards the attainment of a President of Ibo extraction.
EndSars itself was later turned into a sectional political agitation….hence, Nnamdi Kanu could be heard shouting on video that the rioters should Kill, Kill , Kill them All. Burn Lagos Down!! cool cool

I have told you to stop meandering. Atiku is talking about 2007 but you're here talking about 2014. Some of you don't even know what they are arguing about. As at 2007, it was AC but the one you're mentioning and those he moved to form APC are from ACN. Know the difference.
The question now, some are saying Tinubu saved or helped Atiku but Atiku is saying he helped Tinubu and he went ahead to reeled out how they formed AC and those that formed it. You people should try and understand topic, this is how some of you fail exam. Mingling 2007 with 2014, you're lost.

God1blessBiafra:
So you people bring nothing to the table.

Anyway I love how you are honest about wanting one Nigeria because of resources not because it good being one.
Every Region or Tribe has something that they bring to the table but Nigeria is a developing country in which many of the available resources are yet to be fully tapped and exploited. It does not mean that others bring nothing to the table. When the country operated Regional government, every region had something to bring to the table and things worked fine until the military struck!
As of this moment, Oil is the main resource that every part of the Nation depends upon. Gold may be discovered in abundance in Benue State tomorrow or other minerals may be discovered in the South West tomorrow in sufficient quantities to feed the entire nation, then they can all tap into that to feed everybody. That is what being Your Brother’s Keeper is all about.
A section of the country should not plan to run away with what can feed the entire country….that is nothing but self-centredness, selfishness and short-sightedness!
As for what is good and desirable that you wrote about, imagine your sister wanting to marry her sweetheart whom she loves very much (that’s good and desirable) but if the guy is broke or a scrounger, that wouldn’t help put food on the family table, neither will it assist her in sending her junior ones to school if that assistance is needed.
So, what is good or desirable is not always what is best all round for all concerned! Think about that. Goodbye! cool

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is only asking for referendum.


Why do you expect Kanu to accept that when there are people from south south that are among his ipob.
Won't it be a betray from his side?


But with referendum, they will see that's their people don't want to be part of Biafra and not Kanu's fault.



Wait ooo are you saying you people want one Nigeria by fire and by force because of resources not because it's good?
Yes, of course it’s all because of Resources….better realise that.
There are over 200 million people inhabiting the geographical space called Nigeria without sufficient “exploited resources” to go round.
I don’t want my people to starve, you don’t want your people to starve, nobody wants their people to starve.
So, you better believe it’s all about sharing of resources.
So, Kanu cannot expect to take the resources which everyone is presently sharing without getting one hell of a fight.
That’s the plain truth….better believe it!! cool cool

This why ipob have been calling for referendum.


Millions of dollars your Nigeria government have spent in fighting Ipob would have conducted referendum and everything settled.

People will make their choices because no one is supposed to forced to be one country.
Kanu was reported to have declined the Offer of a Biafra without parts of the South South. This gives the impression that he’s only interested in the Oil resources of those States. That’s where the problem lies because the rest of Nigeria (particularly the North) will Never allow him to go with the Oil resources while they languish in abject poverty. Check it….in case you’re too young to understand what is involved! cool cool

Then so be it.



I don't know why you people are so afraid to have a country without Biafrans.


We were doing well separately until forced together and called Nigeria.
Is South South part of your so-called Biafra?
Have you conducted a Referendum to ascertain which States wish to be part of your Biafra?
What makes you think all your neighbours (with established Oil & Mineral resources) wish to be part of your Biafra?
Are they sooo dumb that they cannot manage their own resources without being part of your Biafra? huh
Are the Igbos willing to break away from Nigeria without the other South South States that do not wish to be part of your Biafra?
These are questions you should address. I do not believe that majority of people are “afraid” to have a Nigeria without Igboland! cool cool

PoliticsRe: Atiku: How I Saved Tinubu’s Political Career by shinealight(m):
Kukutente23:
My friend that your bolded is a cheap lie. OBJ was popular in the SW between towards 2003 at least. You are simply a kid. I was in secondary school in Lagos when he was president and not once or twice did he come to Lagos and receive a rousing welcome from people. I first saw him on Falomo bridge in 2001 when he was passing by and people were hailing him. You can tell me where you were in 2001. So stop regurgitating APC propaganda.
Secondly, OBJ was not more imposed on Nigeria than Tinubu. Both were voted massively by the north. That OBJ was not voted by the SW in his first term does not make him an imposition. You sound like those Obidients you guys like to malign. They will also tell you Tinubu was imposed on Nigeria in 2023 simply because he lost Lagos, Abuja, rigged Rivers and lost throughout the SE. That is someone talking from his narrow prism of experience. OBJ won in 1999. He won ALL the states in the North while his opponent was not even known in the North then. Funny enough you guys claim Obi lost because he lost the North but you somehow believe Falae won in 1999 despite losing woefully in same North. Rest
That bolded part of your post tells a lot about YOU and your infantile reasoning. I don’t waste my time with people who get their information from second-hand story-telling sources. When you post in a public forum, be very careful before bragging about anything….because you KNOW NOT who you talk to. Goodbye! cool

OBJ was never accepted yet 5 out of 6 states turned from AD to OBJ's PDP. How old were you in 2003? OBJ was massively popular in the SW in 2003. He even did radio interviews in Yoruba towards 2003 elections.
It is funny folks like you will believe Tinubu made Buhari president despite Buhari coming out to deny it
Folks like you will believe Tinubu saved this and that without any evidence but when it is said that Tinubu was saved by someone else, you suddenly turn on LOGIC and begin to rationalise and ask for evidence.
The fact is this is not the first time Atiku said this. He said same thing towards 2023 elections when Tinubu claimed he supported him for 2007 elections and it is time for Atiku to return the favour. So if you can believe Tinubu, why do you find it difficult to believe Atiku but instead start manufacturing lies in your head? Western asslicker
My friend, let me repeat this for the last time…..OBJ was NEVER popular in the South-West during his entire Presidency ….he was imposed on the entire country in 1999. Anyone with a sense of history will tell you that! undecided
Btw, since you talked about age, I can already surmise that you were not even born when OBJ was imposed on Nigeria in 1999. So, I can only feel some pity for you bcuz that’s the story they related to you during your story-telling gatherings in your villages. Waste of precious time discussing this with people who were in kindergarten at the maternal time! cool

It's not about swearing or not. It's something Atiku has mentioned two to three times with no rebuttal from Tinubu. This present one about AC was triggered by Shettima's claim that Tinubu saved Atiku from OBJ, a claim which was widely held by most Tinubu’s supporters. Now Atiku is rebutting it. You're suddenly clear- headed enough to know that Atiku is lying but you've never accepted Atiku’s claim that he saved Tinubu from the PDP onslaught in the SW. It's that bias which I'm calling your attention to. Some of you are too neck-deep in hero worshiping that the only thing that can be acceptable to you is what makes your god look good
You were asked a simple Question….how did Atiku save Tinubu from OBJ/PDP onslaught on the South-West governors in 2003 when OBJ was NEVER accepted in any State in the South-West at that time? huh
Were YOU present where the Rigging machinery was being oiled and put in motion? huh
Yet you’re prepared to SWEAR to it bcuz some story-teller “mentioned” it a number of times and was simply IGNORED for making claims without logical reasoning!
Is it by committing an ILLEGALITY (RIGGING) that you save someone in a Democracy?
Of course, Atiku’s assertion simply had to be ignored as Nonsense, which it was.

Stay on the lane and stop meandering.
Meandering? huh huh
Someone you claim was inconsequential in the politics of the South West in 2007, yet he carried the entire South West to abandon the party they had nortured for years and MERGE it with another group to form a most viable RULING party for eight years AND COUNTING…..
You shouldn’t need a story-teller like Atiku to convince you about who had the political wherewithal to move the political machinery of the South-West even back in 2006/7 because it was the turn of the North to produce a President.

What nonsense are you writing? What is the relationship between coalition and emergence of presidential candidate. You guys just read simple things with bias. The point Atiku is making us that AC was not Tinubu's party but was a coalition of parties. Tinubu’s machinery is very adept at arrogating success to him and shielding him from failure. It is simple opportunism. Atiku saved Tinubu in 2003 from OBJ's onslaught on western govs. It's something Atiku as repeated as much as thrice and tinubu has never denied it but you his supporters wilfully overlook that and keep deceiving yourselves about 2007. Now he's setting the 2007 record straight and you still managed to turn it upside down.
Read your highlighted comment above!
How did Atiku save Tinubu from OBJ’s onslaught? huh huh
Are you saying that You and Atiku were locked in with them while figures were being manipulated to rig out the South Western governors?

Reading and comprehension is a big problem for some of you. Even after Atiku had reeled out those that made up the formation of AC, you still went berserk to hype Tinubu, as if Tinubu was the soul and heart of the formation of AC.
Note that it wasn't all the members of AD that followed Tinubu to AC. Please put that at the back of your mind but all members of PDM went on alliance to form AC.
He has reeled out the fact on his sleeve, please counter him with fact and not rhetoric as usual.
Tinubu was at loggerheads with members of AD because he could not control the party as he wanted and that was why he could not mobilize them to wholly joined to form AC.
Let us talk fact and not rhetoric or hyping puncture.
Refer to your comments in bold!
According to you, Tinubu was not ‘heart and soul’ of AC in 2007 to help Atiku realise his failed ambition? Also, Tinubu could not mobilise his party leaders to wholly join to form AC?
Nevertheless, a few years later, this same Tinubu carried along the entire South West together with Edo in ACN to form APC which continues to be the most formidable party in Nigeria’s political horizon! Atiku should tell his stories to the Marines and the likes of you gullible ones! cool
PoliticsRe: Atiku: How I Saved Tinubu’s Political Career by shinealight(m): 10:43pm On Jun 09, 2024
Read Atiku’s account:
Quote: “Shettima needs to be reminded that Atiku did not run under the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), but Action Congress (AC). AC came out of a coalition of ACD (Advance Congress of Democrats), formed by mainly PDM members and other associates and Tinubu’s faction of AD.” Unquote.

The above statement by Atiku actually puts a lie to Atiku’s account of who helped whom politically.
Could Atiku have got the ticket if Action Congress (AC) did not exist as a coalition?
Was Tinubu’s Alliance For Democracy (AD) not part of the AC that gave him the ticket?
So, if Tinubu’s AD had refused to play ball in joining the coalition, how could Atiku have become the Presidential candidate of the coalition?
Atiku should forever be grateful to Tinubu for helping him to “save face” by providing him a platform to run as Presidential candidate at that time.
He should stop trying to change the narrative. Some people were not born only yesterday, nor do they have short memories like him! cool cool
