Kate just keep it hidden as you have done for long. Don't give the rabid dogs a job to do because trust me, they are that jobless but very employed for free when it comes to aproko. So madam keep it in the house. Some people never knew you once married not to talk of having a child. Protect yours.

His opinion, your opinion, my opinion remains that it is a dangerous, addictive drug that is a threat to mental health and is carcinogenic so for me it should remain outlawed.

Those that require it for various medical therapies can be administered the active ingredients in a manner similar to other medications.

Sowore's move to copy the Canadian approach is at best laughable. Despite Canada legalizing it, why did US never legalize it?

You want a future Nigeria where our youth brain are damaged before 25? Be careful what you wish for.

Politics taken too far, mixed with religion. We know what they are trying to do.

This osun election is not a technical loss for Tinubu in the bigger picture…rather it’s a big win

Same Osun Tinubu lost in last election, he seems he may even outperform the last election this time

Yet Adeleke said he’s working for Tinubu in 2027

The only opposition here is ADC and see what they pulled…
So imagine APC and Adelekes party joining hand to deliver Osun to Tinubu ?

If the 31 Governors under APC can't deliver their states, Adeleke will save the last dance for himself because his promises are no different than Okpebolo's. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that. It seems you've forgotten the internal sabotage within APC in this last election. Despite being the governor, Adeleke's PDP got what in 2023? 354k votes. The last election should have taught everyone the weakening influence of governors delivering states. Some of them could not even see themselves to Senate. Election cycles are different and operate on different stories.

stuffs2002:
If only you understood politics.

You don't understand politics at all like OBIDIENTS

I will teach you politics. Na dem. Powerful men than powerful institutions 🤡

Adeleke will keep thanking the president instead of his people.

Wrong on all counts.

The current students will morph into old boys.

A lot of them are in high management positions anyway and have done well for themselves in life.

They don't want to own the school to run it day to day, they want to ensure whoever is in charge of the school fully focuses on it and keeps the standard high.

They also donate a lot to the school as the government simply cannot fund it appropriately.

The have a place in the grand scheme of things, an important one axlctually as administrators, teachers, parents, they will all come and go, old boys will always be there.

Yes, every old association does this. They are interested stakeholders in the school management but what I am saying is they have a channel to address their concerns. That's why we have PTAs too, parents too can say they want the best for the school and I'm telling you that old school association is only sentimental, before they got there, they had their mummies and daddies helping them per PTA. The school was well run before you ever became ex but what you can do as an ex is to be an interest group.

Mitsurugi:
The Old Boys will run it better. Floreat!

Old boys are not an institution, they will all pass away. That's very dangerous. Powerful institutions, not powerful people. These old boys were once young boys who didn't have the capacity, capability or financial ability to ever dream of owning the school. What does that teach them? Life is turn by turn, know your place in the scheme of things.

Music star Davido has publicly acknowledged Peter Obi's statement calling for a free and fair governorship election in Osun State, ahead of Saturday's poll.

My dear, you are already behind.

A double standard is a rule or principle that is unfairly applied in a stricter or more lenient way to different people or groups for the same behavior.

He met all the constitutional requirements to be declared. Your favs didn't. Instead, they rejoice greatly about winning Lagos and Osun.

You just confirmed what I said earlier,


Grab it

Snatch it

Runaway with it

It's not about the process to you, it's about the result. As long as I'm declared winner, that's the win. Thank God Yar'Adua was once a president and he admitted the scam given to him and said, never again. That is the true democrat not these fake wannabes. Are you sure you're not from Morocco?

DeepSight:
You never cease to make me smile. Is BAT popular in Nigeria today.
Wait, lets be specific, was he popular in Rivers State in 2023?

. He was so popular, he won the election from behind. They shall not rest. A thief only enjoys his spoils for a little while.

Why are all her boobs out? Looks indecent, not classy and irritating.

Image123:
Tinubu's APC just got over 400k votes on Saturday. Any one that knows politics knows those 400k people and the majority of 500k that voted Accord party will cast their votes for Tinubu. Be realistic.

I don't need to argue with you. The fact remains that he is the most unpopular president and even through getting there by hook or crook, his popularity is still not high. You can't give what you don't have. It wasn't a mistake that polls in 2023 did not favor him neither are they favoring him now. But I know you lots can turn statistics on its head because we can teach them politics
is not based on philosophy. We know it's grab it, snatch it and run away with it. That's why there's no need for presidential debates or what have you. Tinubu himself knew he wasn't the one Nigerians chose that's why his first few months were spent trying to appear legitimate. He had this need for validation. No be Vox populi, Vox Dei. Na him own voice he wan hear na why he like on your mandate song

Factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have 'won' the Presidential elections.

It is no wonder he kept on singing on your mandate he shall stand because his so-called victory was not popular but here's the question, he wants to test his popularity again. Then he didn't have the opportunity to show himself, now he has shown what he can do. Will you vote for him again?

Out of 93.4 million registered voters, only 24.9 million total votes were cast. This represents a historic record-low turnout of just 26.7%.

When you apply Tinubu's 36.61% win to the total pool of registered voters, it means that only 9.4% of registered Nigerian voters actively chose the winning president. Do you know what that means? Less than 10% of those who decided to vote want him. That's why his polling numbers while in office are also incredibly low. What do I know? Na statistics we go chop? You can keep arguing with the numbers.

Image123:
What many don't say is that it’s very hard to rig where you are not popular. Obi is not popular across Nigeria, same goes for Atiku. They will rig as usual in the South East and part of the north irrespective of how many Okada escort election materials. Stop all these content creation.

Obi and Atiku are not popular but Tinubu is popular? Well done. You are doing well.

Svoboda:
Much of the blame goes to the authorities. Most of the green areas developed to absorb and channel floods into the central drainage system in the city centre have been converted to residential spaces. This has greatly distorted the master plan which had been strictly enforced before the PH gang came by with their insatiable appetite for wealth riches.

Fixed.


A corrupt politician can never turn riches into true wealth because stolen money carries unique legal, political, and systemic risks that permanently prevent true financial freedom. It's a temporary illusion of thinking they are wealthy but no, it's riches.

True wealth means having peace of mind, control over your time, and assets that are safely protected by the law. Because stolen money is illegal, it can never buy the security that defines genuine wealth. A politician who steals is trapped by their own greed. They may look wealthy because they control billions, but they are actually just highly paid custodians of stolen property. The system can allow them be rich but they can never be wealthy.

Sowore is not a serious presidential contender

This is a mindset thing. Nigerians are so rich that the only thing they can boast of or talk about is money. They are so poor.

SixSeven:
You are correct. I was watching DF and he was making sense, all of a sudden he started talking about Bill Gates vacation and how expensive it is and says to the others that una never see money. He says they never see multimillionaire dollar level, one of them was claiming that he has at least $1m and Freeze says it's too small. Bro, it never ends. They keep oppressing themsleves over money but they are so foolish to see that they are surrounded by poverty. It is a poverty mentality, that's why many of them are oppressive.

Last week, there was a topic about late Mr Adeosun and I complained about the writeups only mentioning Kemi's name and to give the man his respects. Guess what one of them said?

FriendsAndFans:
Give me the fame, you can keep the name. If you like eat it

You cannot have quality conversations with Nigerians without them thinking they are better than you because of material things. That's why this beggy beggy will not stop. It's a thing of the mind. We are very oppressive as a people. Repost 👇
Money is everything. Okay find out.

Repost👇
The OP says your mind will be at peace when you have money. You think Biggie's mo money, mo problems is a joke? He also says poverty will be making your heart do somehow. I don't think you've heard about contentment. Contentment is a powerful mindset that shields you from the endless cycle of chasing external validation or wealth. It shifts your focus from what you lack to appreciating what is right in front of you. A lot of Nigerians lack it, that's why they keep chasing the mullah and they see the man who is relaxed as muuugu. Travel and see those who are poorer than you in your paper money but richer than you in issues of life. It is the current structure of Nigeria that makes you think once you have money, you can solve your problems instead of us to think like a society. Look at our rich people, if you have a health emergency, don't you think before you jet out of the country to go to one foreign hospital, you will die? Or do you think even if you have the best Nigerian doctors with you, it will keep you alive while they are carrying your body upandan in the plane instead of you to have accessed a good quality hospital? Didn't you see the tomfooooolery of our elites during covid19 or how they keep making the same mistakes by spending so much money abroad when God has blessed our environment with free gifts but they refused to appreciate it and improve on it? Nigeria is a very classist and oppressive society so I just see people with their insecurities projected on others they think they are above. That's why they system may never work because the money helps them feel at least that all animals aren't equal. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM 🤡

If money is the only thing you have, you are truly poor.

When you understand the concept of money, you'll know why it is not everything. It is good in our current construct of life but only experience can teach you certain things. Maybe you have forgotten that your forefathers did not live with this current concept of paper money. Or the civil war did not teach you a lesson on how people who stored paper suddenly became poor? The current construct of society is deceiving you so much that you think to acquire all the gold in this world is everything but when you get it, you'll then learn the lessons of life. Anyway this conversation is more philosophical, experience is the best teacher. Enjoy your money. You don't teach a man how to enjoy his money. We came to this world with nothing, fought for everything, only to leave the things we fought for behind

Contentment is king of all situations

Nwaikpe:
It happens like that in every country where poverty is pervasive. They tend to disrespect money. Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, etc. you will see how they talk about hundreds or thousands of dollars as if they are talking about hundreds of kobo. Yet, dem neva see food chop wella.

😊😊😊

When a person who have NEVER stepped foot out of the country speaks, you know.

Imagine how you just relegated $40 to “barely.”

Clearly they are telling you that it cost about $1.69 for a bread that can be used for one week, yet you in Nigeria is saying that 20 times of that amount that can feed you for one week (which is 20 weeks), is “barely.”

To you, $40 is small.

😅😅😅

The people using 40 dollars to buy bread in USA or Europe are all mad. Nigerians are so obsessed over money yet a poor nation.

The fool and his money parted ways

Something I Learnt From Herbert Wigwe While A Mid-Management Staff


Let me share a story that is obliquely related to this issue of manifestos…

Many years ago, as a middle management staff at Access Bank, I was chasing a transaction that had the potential to turn my groups profitability and balance sheet around.

The customer had landed a huge slate of contracts with the federal government. It would drive Billions in current account balances and fee fee income.

They needed a guarantee from the bank.

I made the case… wrote the credit analyses, presented the approval memoranda all the way to the management credit committee…

Everything looked good on paper. Almost too good…and it was provisionally approved after some hard grilling by the committee.

But after the meeting…My DMD at the time, the late Herbert Wigwe, called me to his office…

“Justin, I want to meet this customer in person. Schedule a meeting for next week but don’t issue the offer letter until after”

I was agitated…Haba…after all this wahala why can’t we just issue the guarantee and let me book my fees? But oga had spoken…so what to do?

I did as instructed.

We got to Abuja for this meeting as scheduled…

Hebert was just ‘gisting’… I was expecting some hard hitting technical questions, like the ones I had been asked…maybe he just wanted to hear them himself ?

But nah…

just gist…about business, how he got started, what he thought about this and that and the other…some old transactions…with other banks…politics…his relationship with the government and other deals in the pipeline …everything under the sun…but the specifics of the transaction in question.

Meeting ended. I’m confused.

We’re on the way back to the airport and I’m waiting for Herbert to say something.

Nothing.

Just talking about my business in general…other things I was working on. I knew better than to ask what I was really waiting to hear.

Then he drops the bomb just as we are landing in lagos.

“Justin, we’re not doing it”

I felt like exploding…

He continued…

“In the business of credit and banking, you will learn that willingness to repay is more important than the ability to repay…you will find other deals…”

I was deflated, confused, angry…

One guy from one of the top five banks that loves large ticket corporate deals did the transaction eventually. He got promoted for it…

The customer diverted some of the proceeds and the whole thing went sideways.

The guy also eventually got fired for it.

The only time HW revisited the issue was one day we met in the elevator a couple years after, when the news of the matter broke.

“Justin I’m sure you’re happy you didn’t do that transaction now”

I didn’t have to ask which one he meant.

How does any of this relate to manifestos?

They are important and necessary for every candidate to have. They provide clarity and a baseline for how one can evaluate a candidate in a presidential election.

But they tell you NOTHING about the CHARACTER of a candidate. They provide no insight into the most impactful attribute a leader should possess.

That can only be judged by their actions. Their track record. How they have handled previous responsibility or conducted themselves historically.

So by all means let’s have the manifestos and let’s critique them when they are made public by the candidates.

But let us also examine their manifest character, as evidenced by their lives and conduct in the past.

Otherwise the manifesto is hardly worth the paper it’s printed on

End of.

Continue to rest in peace HW.🙏🏾

I used AI to evaluate your writing because if this is how people want to lower the bar to governance, it's not worth it. This analogy is deeply flawed because running a country is fundamentally different from managing a commercial bank's credit risk. While the story is an entertaining piece of corporate folklore, applying its logic to national governance creates several dangerous misdirections.

robosky02:
Since Ibrahim Gusau took over as NFF President in September 2022 Nigeria has failed to qualify/perform in at least 7 major tournaments across senior and youth levels, based on reports from 2023-2026:

Senior Team:
1. Super Eagles – FIFA World Cup 2026*
Failed to qualify after losing to DR Congo in the playoffs. This is Nigeria’s 2nd consecutive World Cup miss
2. Super Falcons – FIFA Women’s World Cup*
Missed qualification during his tenure
3. Super Falcons – WAFCON*
Had their worst-ever WAFCON performance under this board 1ce78433

Youth Teams:
4. Golden Eaglets U17 – 3 consecutive FIFA U17 World Cups missed
Failed to qualify for any major CAF or FIFA U-17 tournament during the current administration
5. Flying Eagles U20 – FIFA U20 World Cup
failed to qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup after being eliminated during the CAF qualifiers
6. Flying Eagles U20 – AFCON U20*
Failed to qualify
7. Olympic Eagles U23
"nowhere" and "failed to make a meaningful impact in its qualifying campaign"

Other notes critics raised:
- No Olympic football* representation during this period
- Domestic game decline "Nothing is being done to raise the standard of the domestic game"
- Coaching instability*: 3 Super Eagles coaches in 6 World Cup qualifying matches 8433a8ad

*The defense from NFF side*
Some stakeholders argue Gusau inherited "landmines" and "structural problems", and that 2022 World Cup failure was under the previous board. NSC DG Bukola Olopade also said the Women’s World Cup and AFCON performances showed "signs of progress".

Bottom line
Critics count it as 2 World Cups, 3 U17 World Cups, 1 U20 AFCON, 1 U20 World Cup, 1 bad WAFCON, and U23/Olympic failures — which is why there are loud calls for the entire board to resign.



And the man is seeking reelection in September 2026

And what is his promise for the next election? CONTINUITY

That Uba trending gist channel is obviously either sponsored by APC or pro APC. I have seen the videos and if they see white, they will call it black and all their armies will comment on it. The guy comes for Rufai and Seun or those critical to the Tinubu/APC government. The bias is obvious.

No campaign on election day

There should not be campaign on election day Seun
