Jonathan Slams APC, Says There's "Bitterness In Thier Hearts"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32aKgc0j0Ws

Call him meek, weak and all the names you want to. Nigerians love their oppressors because what in God's name is what I've heard where Nigerians want a 'fighter' to lead them. Now when the fighter de there, who e fight for? Nigerians want someone else to sacrifice themsleves for their own good and when the person emerges, they leave him for their kidnapper.

This was how they said Buhari as a general will change things because he was a soldier only for him to get there and say he wished he was younger. This was how they said Tinubu is the one who can dare the North and face the cabal only for us to hear now that his political enemies are behind insecurity. We don't know what we want, we fantazise it but don't really want it. We have a trauma of pain and we want more of it.


Today people are saying you think Tinubu will leave power like Jonathan? They are reinforcing their slavery. They already believe that elections will not be free and fair. They are even afraid that opposition is divided because they've given their rights away to one man. 1 man vs millions of Nigerians 🤡

Jonathan now sounds like a prophet not because he said anything special but because he's not desperate like our career politicians. If we have a strong process, it's very certain Tinubu can never return as president but let's keep pretending while we snatch it, grab it and run away with it under different excuses.

Indeed, the harshness they gave us, where is it todayhuh The weak Osinbajo's body language for 2 weeks was much effective than Buhari's 8 years. Buhari could not do anything to Babachir Lawal, Osinbajo came in and fired him immediately. Strong man no mean say your head correct, weak man no mean say your mind no correct. We don't need any tough man, none of them will die for us anyway.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu scolds Sen. Smart Adeyemi at NASS plenary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5isePNNupFI

During the emotional April 2021 Senate session, Senator Smart Adeyemi stood up to address the floor on Nigeria's worsening national security crisis, declaring that the country was bleeding and that lawmakers could no longer stay silent.

As he passionately urged the government to take drastic action against rampant kidnappings and killings, Senator Oluremi Tinubu interrupted him mid-speech, audibly questioning his party loyalty by asking if he was a wolf in sheep's clothing or a member of the opposition PDP. Adeyemi brushed off the interruption and continued his speech, but the intense, televised exchange between the two APC lawmakers instantly went viral, creating a lasting public association of conflict between Adeyemi and the Tinubu family.


Senator Smart Adeyemi: "Mr. President [of the Senate], insecurity is a serious problem today in Nigeria.... We cannot run away from the fact that, more than ever before in the history of our nation, this is the worst insecurity we have faced since after the Civil War. ...The President must rise to the occasion to resolve the security challenges... If we cannot save the country, then we should shut down the National Assembly and go home. Nigeria is bleeding."

Senator Oluremi Tinubu (Interrupting loudly):
"Are you in PDP? Are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"

Senator Smart Adeyemi (Responding immediately):
"Mr. President, I am an APC member. Let me tell you the truth, I am an APC member and I will remain an APC member. But I will tell the truth when it comes to the safety of our country. My people are being killed, and I cannot sit down here and look at what is happening and keep quiet. We cannot pretend that we are capable of handling the situation in our hands. The system has failed, and we must seek foreign assistance."


👆
What they could not solve 5 years ago even when they were not in the majority like you have today, what do you expect them to do differently now that they have all the power? Keep voting and pampering your oppressors. If Senator Tinubu could ask if her fellow APC member was in opposition because he asked for government to accept responsibility and do something, are you surprised with the names they call people on this forum and online? Their leaders do the same thing, so their 5k mob will even be worse.

FamilyRe: 8-month Pregnant Woman Drags Husband To Court, Seeks Divorce Over Alleged Neglec by SixSeven: 10:16pm On Jun 08
sandra2025:
Let's stop hearing from one side of the story every time. Do you know if it's not the wife nagging him at home? Some pregnant women can do and undo, if you know the way they play their mind games.

Most times, men are always at the receiving end. Men are putting their lives on the line to take care of their family, but most women do not care because in their mind, they enjoy playing the frustration games on the man.

Majority of the fault in the family is always caused by women. Go and research it.
She has some very good grounds for divorce because of the physical torture (that can harm the baby) and the man's neglect but I hear you too. I was just thinking, the changes women go through during pregnancy, are you sure she knows what she is doing? This can affect the baby after birth.

@OP
Should a husband be legally compelled to provide financial and medical support for a pregnant wife even after separation, or should both parties settle such issues outside the courtroom?

She is a housewife. You planted your seed in her and you are asking if you should be compelled to provide for her even after separation. Did anyone compel you to sleep with her and impregnate her? angry

The court will not let them go until after she gives birth and the man has to provide for his own child.

Vice president.. A step to presidency in Nigeria political turf.
Obi neglected it and feel he can count one without 2..

see election that would have won before 11 am if Obi was a wise man.. but greed and ego has taken him to 3 position in the same election
He’s followers amateurs and political kids keep telling. Him to run .. run go where .. social media buzz fooled him .. he started seeing himself as a god in Nigeria
Heard Umeh advised him , with others but the fool insist that Atiku must step down for him .. yet shi shi he no Dey bring come table .. come election for Abuja .. he no get agents .. the ones that came were bribed out by APC .. na the idiot wan come contest election for Nigeria .. 36 states .. hahahahaha .. walahi Obidient too recieve this man
Peter Obi is not a politician but a trader that should be trading in Onitsha main market .. he’s can’t comprehend politics and believe speeches and verify will give him power
Ameachi is a serious politician and he complained when he was out rigged .. but never ran from battle front
Ameachi will make a good VP .. he has to align with Atiku’s men in south south and bring in the votes and percentage from states .. let’s see where Obi wan get his votes from in Nigeria
.. he will be disappointed after election and thank God he says it’s he’s last contest.. so he will have time to mull over the opportunities he never appreciated

Atiku has the dollar tinubu have .. and this election eh.. Ndume said is WWW .. Brock vs Obafemi..

My sure bet remains on Atiku

PoliticsRe: Over 28 Years And This Is My First Time Experience In Getting My PVC by SixSeven:
Let me explain the process to you.

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your pvc
3. Before election day, you see your name on the list of registered voters at your PU (this is why Lere cannot have Emeka Ike's records as some people try to justify it. INEC publishes your name and picture to confirm that you are at that PU on election day but they won't publish all the card details on your PVC and this is why the card is an ID card that banks can use)
4. On election day, you register to vote (this is called accreditation) where the PO confirms that you are on the list of registered voters and it is not someone else
5. You cast your ballot secretly.
6. The PO counts the votes, that IS, ALL the paper you voted for, then writes the results.
This is where Nigerians want the results to be electronically transmitted.
7. This result is announced and a copy normally should be posted for you at your PU. This is what a lot of people took pictures of in 2023 and uploaded online but it's number 8 below that INEC did its magic.
8. The PO takes the counted result that was signed by the party agents and herself to the collation centre

This is where Nigerians saw the magomago. This is why you see the APC guys boast of polling agents. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we need too many people to count votes in 2026. Let me not distract from my essay. Check the quoted post I have below.

There are two collation centres. There's ward collation centre and state collation centre. It is at these places counting magic happens. You see all those things the Professors do on TV? They are only counting LG results for each state. They are also checking if there were any other electoral issues that can lead to some results not counted or cancelled.

What INEC promised at the last election is that with Irev you can see your pu result live. You can even audit the election result for each ward and do your own counting for the LG. But the APC and their abracadabra manipulated your result. So while you were counting after step 5, they saw the live results, did their own counting and gave you the figures they wanted. That's why INEC announced results of the election at night. That's where you saw numbers changed at Irev portal. If party A had 12, they put 6 in front of it and made it 612. That is why the Irev portal had glitch. The glitch was the fraudulent excuse to tamper with the result, change it and have their own numbers. They had to delay the loading to iRev portal so you won't be able to dispute the results. Only a thief at night steals it, snatches it and runs away with it to announce that the brown muddy shirt they stole at night is now Ariel clean in the morning.

With electronic transmission, Nigeria will reduce massively how much money we spend on elections. Our elections are only expensive because people simply want to cheat, QED! It's a bloody waste of time recruiting so many people just to count numbers, shey we no de shame?

Repost👇

Nigerians have normalized living with generators that people don't know how clownish they are when they explain it away.

We built Lagos indeed.

One of the things that never impressed me about Tinubu and I choose Tinubu because he had the chance to change this back then in the 99 - 07, was the failure to make Lagos Water Corporation supply the state. That was a monumental failure if you recognize how much Jakande did in 4 years for a Lagos of our dreams. Pure water made its debut in Lagos around the early 2000s. Government watched on. If you were a child who took water from the tap on the public, raise your hands up 🙌 If a government, whether it's Tinubu or not cannot provide the basic infrastructure such as water, light and good roads, F9 ❌ Yesterday, someone said luxurious is the most abused word used in Nigeria today. And the person said they use the term luxury because most Nigerians have not been given the basics or experienced it before so anyone can say their solar is luxury 😔 The defenders of the government never experienced anything better, so they think defending the government is better and constructive criticism is bitter!

Now, the IPP Tinubu fought Obasanjo for, Lagos has the golden chance to generate its electricity and do far better than what Abia's Orji is currently bragging about, but instead of them to ask questions, they prefer all of you to be fighting ethnic and religious fights so they can never be held accountable. Who loses? You the foolish people who let politicians play their cards on you. Lagos is trying to keep the environment clean when Fashola did his home work. Sanwoolu is still struggling with administering a clean city. Ambode came and visionscaped everything away. Yet, they say they had a masterplan. Fashola also blamed the FG for the electricity independence and they finally got to power in 2015. They've been there for years, no opposition but light up Lagos is what Sanwo-Olu is celebrating in 2026 after Ambode made that his first 100 days project in 2015. Make it make sense. Your leaders are evil. Instead of serving you, they corner your resources and always want to settle contractors so the money can come back to them. No light, no water. Bad environment, bad water. Bad waste, dirty water. Chai.

You all are comfortable with sleeping with your oppressors.

You provide your own electricity (generator)
You provide your own water (bore hole)
You provide your own road (patch)
You provide your own housing (build your own)
You provide your own drinking water (pure water)
You provide your own waste management system
And they tax you upon all of these. You must be so in love with yourself that you will allow a government abuse you this much. They tax you for not doing their jobs.
Oyo State wanted to tax those who dug boreholes but they were quiet about the negligence of the state to provide water to the people. And they had an engineer as Governor. Your politicians are very very very very wicked people.

SixSeven:
Have we tried talking to our governments? How Nigerians became comfortable with this thing is insane, some people use industrial generators that work with diesel. Now everyone is going solar too because of government negligence. Tinubu himself changed the power supply at the Villa to solar. GCFR
Generator Commander of the Federal Republic.

Generator noise is not the loudest of your problems, it is the fumes that are the silent killers and probably one of the reasons for the increase in cancer cases in Nigeria without us knowing. Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major component of fuel generator fumes. Carcinogenicity of these compounds has long been established. Those pollutants are not safe for your air and direct contact with your skin, water and environment. Imagine sitting behind the exhaust of a vehicle. That's what we are doing to ourselves.
If you cannot sleep well because of the noise, your health is affected. If you cannot hear well, because of the noise, your hearing is affected.
If you cannot breathe well because of the smoke, your health is affected. If you have the money, switch to solar but what sense does that make if you still live in an environment where your neighbours still use generators? You see why Nigerians need to solve this problem as a collective instead of doing I beta pass my neighbour competition.


Who did this to us undecided All I want to say is they don't even care about us

EducationRe: My Take On Parents Confronting Their Kid's Teachers As A Former Teacher by SixSeven: 1:01am On Jun 08
mjblinks:
You're right that children eventually grow into adults who must learn to follow rules and be accountable for their actions.

However, I think the concern many parents have isn't that teachers shouldn't correct children. It's about how that correction is done. Respect and discipline can exist together.

The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is true, but the village also has a responsibility to guide children with fairness, patience, and understanding. Parents aren't asking to be the only voice in a child's life; they're asking that the adults around their children model the same respect and maturity they expect from the child.

Children learn not only from correction but also from the way adults handle disagreements. If a parent feels a teacher acted unfairly, addressing it respectfully teaches the child an important lesson too—that authority should be respected, but it can also be questioned constructively when necessary.

At the end of the day, parents and teachers are supposed to be on the same team. The goal isn't to defend bad behavior or attack teachers; it's to help children grow into responsible adults while showing them what healthy communication and mutual respect look like.
And I am saying that life is not fair. I can assure you that children are also manipulative. Kids are very observant and they will test their limits. The more parents belittle teachers in front of children, the more the children will know what adults to respect or not.

I agree that teachers should never abuse their authority, and extreme unfairness should be addressed but I also think we have swung too far in the other direction of over analysis and corrections.

Back then, parents understood that not every disagreement or punishment required their intervention. Sometimes a teacher was strict. Sometimes a teacher was wrong. Sometimes life felt unfair. Learning to navigate those situations was part of growing up and a child needs to learn that. That's the wisdom parents back then had to know not to interfere with everything even if their child sometimes received injustice.

What made the system work was that parents generally treated teachers as trusted authority figures, almost like second parents. If there was a problem, many parents handled it discreetly rather than turning every incident into a confrontation. As a result, children learned to respect teachers, even when they didn't always agree with them. This one is coming to social media and who is going to see the post? The world! She will only tell us her side to the story but we may not know what is the fill picture and she won't give us any update that makes her or her child look bad. Everyone is nice on the internet but we all find it difficult to see these nice self righteous people offline.

Today, it can seem as though some parents feel obligated to respond to every issue their child experiences at school. The unintended consequence is that children may learn that whenever they face discomfort, criticism, or conflict, an adult will step in and solve it for them. That can interfere with developing resilience, accountability, and respect for authority. These are skills they will use for life to navigate their way through this unfair world.

Teachers should be fair and respectful but children also need to learn that not every situation will feel fair, and not every authority figure will handle things perfectly. This is real life. Part of becoming an adult is learning how to deal constructively with imperfect people and imperfect situations.

Parents and teachers are on the same team, but sometimes supporting a child means allowing them to work through a difficult situation rather than rushing in to fight every battle on their behalf. This is why I said let me see how she will be there for her child 24/7. One day, they will have to fly themselves using their own wings.

All of you keep bringing your rules in defence of your children but don't think about when the child will become an adult and have to follow rules. Parents today want to use their adult profile for their children so of course, no one can help you parent your own child because only you can be the adult to speak to them and correct them YOUR WAY. Everyone else is not qualified to do it. The village did not raise the child by mistake but keep it up, na you go de there for your child 24/7.

No teacher has the right to barb the hair of a child without the consent of the parents. I'd you try that with my child you're going to jail because I'll pay influencers to drag you and the school on social media and say that you use children's hair for rituals that's why you barb them without their parents consent.

Then I'll have the teacher arrested for rituals, she'll be remanded in jail while investigations go on. God help you if my child falls sick during that period, your own don be.

Just focus on your teaching and leave the kids alone.
No wonder society is having more problems than it can handle. I would let you know that your child will watch how you solve the problem and learn from you. Teacher no teach me nonsense.

If parents want to become teachers, maybe don't send your child to school?

Parents need to understand that teachers are already carrying an enormous workload. While a child's hair should generally be handled with parental consent except in clear health or safety situations, the growing trend of parents storming schools, attacking staff publicly, and assuming the worst before hearing the facts only makes education more difficult.

Many parents today are quick to criticize teachers while expecting them to act as educators, counselors, disciplinarians, and caregivers all at once. Every mistake becomes a public controversy, yet teachers are expected to maintain order and focus on learning.

Respect and accountability should go both ways. Parents have every right to question decisions affecting their children, but those conversations should happen calmly and professionally. When adults react with outrage before seeking understanding, they teach children that confrontation is more important than communication.

Schools function best when parents and teachers work as partners, not adversaries.

SixSeven:
I said that parents today are the main problem with education today. Their ITK is destroying education. They don't know that teachers are their deputy parents for that period of school. If they think they can do the job, homeschool your child. Our parents had the wisdom to cooperate with teachers not these ones that want to do the teachers work and complain about everything. They don't think about teachers as partners in education, they see them as people to always be corrected and evaluated. Even parents realize that there is no manual for training children, how easy do you think it is for teachers? Make Una kwantinuu

Once day you won't be there for that child and they'll face life alone. Children have a behaviour they show at home and another they show in school where another adult is.

Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children's best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child's interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and
teacher."

I once believed Buhari had set the national standard for incompetence in governance. Looking back, it appears we had only seen the introductory chapter.
Exactly why we needed the change in 2023. If someone said he would continue from where Buhari stopped and later said he was Buhari, what were we expecting? At least he did not lie. It's the people who pretended not to hear him that surprise me.

No matter how they did it, I had told a friend that these people would be freed before spending 3 nights with their abductors.
There was just too much at stake for the elite class here.
While I am glad they are now free, I find it hard to believe that no agreement was reached between the government/family and the abductors.
If that was the case, why then has such tactics not being employed to free the Ogbomosho students?
We need Sunday Igboho to be given permission by the FG to rescue them. It's all clear now that this is all political and that's very sad. Why didn't they wait on Igboho to rescue them? Jokers
