ADC is really making us happy as it’s already a big problem to anything APC and by the time ADC catch them by fire they will know it’s not a joke and with the consequences of their bad governance in waiting

BafanaBafana:
If intelligent people are being mentioned, I wouldn't call Soyinka

englishmart:
Grok is at least 99% accurate.
Tinubu, Fashola are both on the list

Eriokanmi:
With this, obi will get even more votes in 2027. Instead of tinubu to parley them as obj and Jonathan did, which saved them from the north's gang up in their era, he's busy making mistakes. That consolation votes they'd not give him in the south east and south south come 2027 cos they're hearing of what they're doing to their people in lagos. Someone whose legs are already shaking in the north, is busy playing politics of hate down south. The other day, edo state is saying obi must not visit his state. He's forgotten that edo are fully obidients.

They should continue to make mistakes. It will be to our advantage.

Bentacur007:
I have been saying this
APC is still confusethey want to know the presidential candidate of ADC.
Nigeria will be great

Ofunaofu:
Tinubu will not be president forever. In fact, his tenure will be over before we even realize it. This country and Lagos will remain, but how they will remain is what we don’t know yet....

Tinubu supporters who are in the minority in Lagos are setting the state up for future political realignment. When Tinubu loses Aso Rock, he'll likely lose Lagos also. The next President may be forced to declare a state of emergency to get rid of thugs and prevent imminent violence due to rising political tensions, and this move will be backed by the majority. The handwriting is on the wall, you don't need a prophet to tell you.

Lagos is Nigeria's most cosmopolitan city and no single group is allowed to create hostility for others in order to dominate. That is exactly what Tinubu supporters are doing, which is dangerous for Nigeria's development (which Lagos is at the epicenter of) and even prohibited by Nigeria's constitution. If you can't handle leadership entrusted to you, it will be given to someone else and you can watch from the sidelines.

On the last day of his tenure as the council chairman of Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Lagos State, Hon. Kolade Alabi David chose that day to behave like a “house boy” of his political idol, President Tinubu and exhibited his sycophancy.

He joins the ranks of Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister, to flagrantly rename public institutions after Tinubu. Shebi, you know that the International Conference Center in Abuja was renamed Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre after he completed the rehabilitation of the building.

Alabi David renamed these streets from:

Ilaje Road → King Sunny Ade Road
Bariga Road → Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way
Community Road, Akoka → Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Road
Ajidagan Street → Olamide Adedeji (Baddo) Street
Ifeanyi Street → Abolore Akande (9ice) Street
Ayodele Street, Ladi-Lak → Tony Tetuila Street
Ilojo Crescent, Obanikoro → Bukayo Saka Street.

The next time you drive along Bariga Street, don’t be surprised to see Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way. Alabi David was smart by half by concealing his real intentions in adding these other streets, but his main target is the renaming of Charly Boy, a popular bust stop along the Gbagada-Oworonshoki expressway. It is now to be called the Badoo bus stop.
Badoo is the nickname of the popular Nigerian rapper, Olamide Adedeji. Curiously, both Charly Boy (real name Charles Oputa) and Olamide are two prominent entertainers that have contributed positively to the Nigerian music industry. Charly Boy, in addition to being an entertainer, is also an activist that has fought against many injustices in the country.

Charly Boy, an avid supporter of Okada riders in Nigeria—an organization that has been frowned on by the government, as they have been regarded as a menace and unsafe transportation—fought for the rights of Okada users, most of whom are poor individuals who earn their living by using the Okada for commercial purposes. This is where he earned his nickname “Area Fada.”

This contentious bus stop used to be called Pedro bus stop, but because Charly Boy was living in a rented house that was close to the bus stop, that is how the name stuck. He took his activism to the electronic media with his Charly Boy show. Charly Boy was popular on Nigerian television in the 90s, and it became a household name.
Charly Boy is also an ardent supporter of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections. Obidients, the name given to Peter Obi’s political movement, has been a thorn in the flesh to the ruling party, APC. Obi won Lagos State, the home base of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the presidential election, which sent a shock wave to the ruling party. Since 2023, the APC politicians have seen Peter Obi and his supporters, the Obidients, as their political enemy. This has created a division between Igbo and the Yoruba, the two dominant ethnic groups from the southern part of Nigeria.

The renaming of this popular bus stop in Lagos is the continuation of deepening political rifts, most especially between Yoruba and Igbo living in Lagos State. This situation is deteriorating, and if it is not checked, the animosity these wicked politicians are trying to create will continue and be passed to the next generation. Already, the politicians have already divided the current generation along ethnic and religious lines. My fear is that the next generation will not be infected with this deadly virus.
I am optimistic about the next generation because the ENDSARS protest of 2020 was a revolutionary protest, devoid of ethnicity and religious alignment, that took the nation by storm. Also in the entertainment industry, Nigerian youths have collaborated with each other seamlessly. Olamide has collaborated with Phyno, another artist of Igbo extraction. Davido and many Igbo artists, such as Odumodublvck, and other entrepreneurs, like Chief Priest Cubana, have not been infected by ethnic rivalry.

Olamide has always been a humble and respectful young man who gives credit to legends before him. I believe he will not pander to the whims and caprices of these mischievous politicians. I like the way Charly Boy reacted to this political gaffe. He said, and I quote, “So, to all the small minds and timid hearts, you may change the name, but you will never kill the legacy.”

This is a legacy in the minds of many residents in Lagos State, so don’t be surprised the next time you pass through this bus stop; Lagosians will still call it Charly Boy Stop. Is this renaming not idiotic?

Lagos State is no man's land, just like Abuja has become no-man's land. You can argue all you want. If Yoruba think they are wise, Igbos could stop renting houses to Yorubas in some areas in Lagos. That way, such placed coukd become Igbo fortresses.

Jostoman:
once you hear even though am not Tinubu fans but, just no say na them.

PresidObi:
How Peter Obi has succeeded in pocketing a ruling party and derailing their propaganda team into committing needless blunders needs to be studied in every political science faculty in the world

AMINDA:
Instead of the SWesterners to also work on uniting the whole South behind Tinubu. They are busy majoring in the minor by renaming streets and preventing people from other regions from voting in local government elections. How does Tinubu intend to win this election?

Validated:
Lagos idea of renaming streets sharks of inferiority complex. I hope the will rename Murtala Muhammad Aurport, Ahmed Bello Way or even Ozimba Mbadiwe Road. It is appalling that in 2025, we are this backward. Perhaps one day the Geari indegenes will begin renaming institutions. May be the will rename Tinubu Conference center then.

LagosPrince:
This baba is now desperate for election since the birth of ADC. He's been begging everyone to support him from the imminent disgrace that awaits him in 2027.

Atiku, Peter Obi, El rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, David mark.
Na winning team dey ADC I swear.

Atiku and El rufai both have inherited buhari 12 million votes in the north.
Peter Obi got south east, Rivers state, Edo state and Bayelsa in the bag including Lagos and Abuja

David mark got the middle belt in the bag.

Osun state and Lagos sure for Aregbesola

KWANKWASO of NNPP will damage tinubu chances in Kano.

Tinubu is going back to Iragbiji in 2027 insha Allah.

Linzo:
This is a reply to the APC sponsored post titled "2027: Peter Obi Was Tricked Into Atiku-backed Coalition – Obi's Ex-Aide" Be reminded that Peter Obi wasn't tricked, he worked for it and got it.

Peter Obi never approached the coalition to become the flag bearer because he understands that if he were on the ballot as the main candidate, it would make rigging easy for the APC, and they would simply tell him to go to court. However, with Atiku as the presidential candidate and Obi as his running mate, it’s game over for the APC.

So, Obi has chosen to keep them in suspense and uncertainty. But now that they've figured out his intentions, they’ve resorted to launching various attacks disguised as advice or praise—claiming that Obi is too big to deputize Atiku. Well, they’ve failed, because Obi will indeed deputize Atiku, and the APC is finished. It’s already signed and sealed.
