If you choose someone that your base is not comfortable with, you are setting the stage for disaster. Your campaign will be distracted by the Agada guy instead of what your party wants to achieve. The APC, PDP and ADC will mock you for being like them Someone was asking yesterday that you have to give way for them to understand that Nigerian Politics is different and I said, what if these folks are also telling you how they want to be different? After all, we've been doing this for years, what has been special about it? What is the "we will teach you politics about?" I think these parties are taking the support for granted thinking they are naive because once you don't have that organic support, forget it. They obviously did not learn from the Labour Party experience. SixSeven: |

Seun the poll questions don't make sense. Even if I don't like Buhari, a good pollster will not put options that skew in the favor of one answer. That's what I've been seeing on Nairaland polls. They are making a mockery of what polls are. The OP's poll here is already skewed towards an answer they want. Makes no sense.

It's obvious that the people you pray for in Nigeria are the demons themselves that's why you need prayer for them.

manmade:My questions are: 1. Where is the transparency regarding the sponsors? If the administration is truly going after highly placed individuals like legislators and emirs, why hasn't the Federal Ministry of Justice publicly unmasked, prosecuted, and secured convictions for these individuals to act as a public deterrent? El-Rufai was picked up immediately because the government said it is such a breach of security to wiretap the NSA. I like how swift they were in that case, what about our security?2. If the administration has started going after highly placed sponsors, what are the formal suit numbers, charge sheets, or case files currently active in the Federal High Court? Please provide or cite a single active court case involving a serving legislator or Emir or any sponsor. Show me newspaper reports on this, maybe I missed it3. Why should Nigerians believe a second term will fix this when the exact same military strategy failed over an eight-year period under a former general? We heard the same we need more time argument during the Buhari administration. If a decade of airstrikes and ground offensives hasn't stopped banditry, what makes Tinubu's approach any different? What justifies giving him four more years? I remember his popular campaign then of recruiting more soldiers and today it is forest guards. What has he done before he took office and now that is in office that is different that will make him different in the next 4 years? |
manmade:Thank you for your response. Now, I want to address three areas. I am someone who has followed various analysis for a long time so some of what you have written are not new to me but I like that you at least gave a response. 1. Sponsors are being arrested This is mostly false. High-level political and traditional sponsors are rarely named or prosecuted openly. The last time we heard about this was when UAE gave us the list of sponsors and Lai said he will announce it. Till now, no one knows anything. We all just keep speculating today and tomorrow because the government has refused to name them. There was a time they said it was one of the Southern senators sponsoring them, another time, because of his claims, people said Sheikh Gumi. Another time, Oshiomole said it's the army generals and ex soldiers. Recently, one guy has been going on air saying it's Ndume. We are just speculating and it is not helping. People even say it's Fulani and this is causing ethnic profiling for innocent people who have no business. Then another time they give impression it is Igbos like we saw in the VDM. So whatever you are saying, it has not helped at all. We don't know the real sponsors of terrorism. To be fair and factual, the FG released a sanctions list containing 48 individuals and 12 entities identified as alleged terrorism financiers, many of whom we don't know! 2. Kidnapping for prisoner exchange This is partially true. Recent high-profile cases show bandits demanding swaps, but ransom money is still their primary driver. The Oyo case is a recent example. The Katsina State Governor who went to forgive them and did this later regretted getting into a deal with them. Putting them in the army has really demoralized our soldiers because we don't know who is on our side. The man who killed a police officer and wore his uniform to a reconciliation has dared the government with what he did. How do you think our security forces are motivated when there is obvious compromise and government is not using a hard stick on them? In June 2026 ambush in Zamfara State, bandits lured dozens of local villagers under the guise of peace talks, only to kidnap them and demand a 125 million naira cash ransom. Mass kidnapping of soft targets (schools, worshippers, rural villagers) has been the primary financial model for bandits for years, predating this current administration. While some kidnappings are used for prisoner swaps, data from local security trackers show that the vast majority of abductions continue to be driven strictly by financial ransom demands rather than desperation you claim. 3. Kinetic approach needs a second term This is merely a political opinion. Relying solely on military force without economic reform has historically failed to deliver lasting security in Nigeria. Insecurity is not what is new to APC, they campaigned using it as one of the things they will solve over 10 years ago. The President is known for saying that the buck stops at the President's table and if the person there cannot solve it, he should resign so how is he in need of a second term? I could use this same logic to give Jonathan a second term because he used mercenaries to flush the terrorists out after he postponed the 2015 elections. This is my opinion, I will ask you my questions below 👇 |
These are Nollywood distractions from a different townhall |
manmade:Okay. Don't you think it makes more sense for him to expose these Fulani political leaders since he knows about it? Is the FG that incapable to catch this insecurity engineers? I mean, they are not stronger than our military or intelligence so if the idea is to embarrass our president, I believe he knows what to do to put them into shame, don't you think? Do you think his embarrassment is more important than the embarrassment to the country? Even if those people are doing what you are saying, what you wrote here, if you were a relative to the beheaded teacher, will it make sense to you? Genuinely interested in your robust response. |
frankson1:Jesutega made us know that they were not happy with those appointments. They felt that Bwala and Omokri who abused the president got rewarded while they were supposed to look the other way. It's no politics, people are just pretending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugmxy2CnUd0 Tinubu may do it for politics but it doesn't mean they like it. For Wike they were even more vocal about it, especially the Lagos chapter. Even with the President's obvious support for Wike, they still warned him during their primaries that he is not welcome to APC. Why do you think the APC Chairman said no more appointments for non APC members this January?
|
lawani:Very good. This brand of Obi's politics is why he is unique. I have written in my comments on Nairaland that he is also a politician but what makes him different is his style. Hwo about that? If this is their standard, doesn't it make sense? At least they are known for something. Despite the excesses of Kwankwaso, the Kwankwasiya had a standard that even if the governor defected, there will be something different. One day, we will remind them (Obidients) of their own standards too. |
frankson1:I don't think you understand my analysis. Do you think party members were happy with Wike or Reno appointments? |
lawani:Okupe that went on to defend Obasanjo and Jonathan still worked for Obi and APC. Nigerian politicians have no principles and if that's what this Obidient will get, so be it. We have been so used to abnormalities that people are saying let me teach you politics. That's not politics, that's anywhere belle face politricks. This is why people think Bwala and Reno working for Tinubu is strategy. It's only strategy for hungry stomachs, how much do their bellies cost?
|
|
I am very sure they will change him. One thing I have noticed about the Obidients is the demand for accountability. It is something we have lost as a nation because people have gotten tired of complaining and not seeing any change but this is what people expect even in all the parties but unfortunately, the babasopecracy will not let it be. You know what's funny? If they don't change it, those whose parties have let all manner of people represent them will use this appointment to abuse NDC. Even Reno will come out and write stories.
|
Kaczynski:A lot of people especially when you get older find fulfilment in making their own money than being salaried. You cannot define another person's success. Even if he is cooking food daily in Lagos and makes money from it, I don't see what is wrong with that and why you have a problem with how that will make the person happy. The person said they made money but did not feel it but here you are trying to argue for them what experience should feel like. I don't get it. |
The photos do not show us the full picture. What if the government that was supposed to pay him pension didn't but we have a former governor of Lagos, like all your greedy eedeotick politicians who made a fat pension for himself after leaving office? Nigeria failed him, no? Maybe the system f<>d him despite his best efforts towards retirement. Next topic! https://www.tiktok.com/video/7537262818987396358

Alhaji Lai Mohammed Speaks On Who Bandits Really Are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjStObQly8E What a sad state of affairs Nigeria has gotten to ABUJA, NIGERIA — In an October 2021 interview, Nigeria's Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, stirred national debate by insisting that armed bandits operating in the country's northwest should be treated as "simple criminals" rather than "terrorists." Speaking on the distinction between the groups, Mohammed argued that unlike secessionist movements or organizations like Boko Haram, bandits do not fly a separate flag or hold an ideological agenda to overthrow the state. He dismissed the public pushback over government terminology as "dancing around nomenclature," emphasizing that the armed groups still face the full force of the military regardless of their specific label. According to reports published by national media outlets at the time, the minister further minimized the political threat of the criminals by comparing their illegal rural tax levies to urban extortion. He noted that the bandits collecting taxes from villages was structurally similar to "area boys" or local touts operating illegal toll gates in cities like Lagos, maintaining that such acts did not equate to a sovereignty breach. This official stance persisted until a Federal High Court ruling heavily challenged the administration's rhetoric, legally proscribing all bandit groups as terrorists in late November 2021.

manmade:When you say Tinubu is not like Jonathan, can you explain what exactly you mean? I want us to discuss this. |
Have you noticed how since APC came to power, organized labour lost its teeth? |
Women degrade themsleves then blame men for degrading them Then they come up with all types of excuses to justify the nonsense they are doing. Let a man try 1/100000th of what they do, they will scream to high heavens. Hypocrites Does Tems dress like this too? I think I always mix them up with each other but I have heard that girl speak and she has sense but when I look at this picture, it reminds me of toddlers who don't have a sense of their life yet wearing gele with diapers

Obi again when we have burning issues to talk about I have written about this before and that comment still stands 👇 Obi is definitely a decent politician and that's the class most of his contemporaries have lost. He's not doing anything special but that decency and maturity makes him stand out. Dele Momodu was interviewed, he went aggressive on Obi, almost losing it at the end of the interview by asking if Obi is Jesus Christ and if he is sef, it will still be Atiku. Clearly frustrating to watch. Politicians Now Treat Zoning As The Only Credential Needed To Win Presidential Elections - Momodu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR9859b8zDk Kenneth Omonkwo did his own media tour and hit Obi too. Segun Sowunmi, Bolaji Abdullahi too. Bolaji is still the most matured of them all. Then you have Datti and his brother at PRP. ‘Political Conmen’, Kenneth Okonkwo Fires At Obi, Kwankwaso Over ADC Exit | Politics Today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a32uJQvywKc We Are At A Point Where Populism Is No Longer Enough — Sowunmi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB7OC4ghgeg The people are not buying it. It is wisdom on Obi's part to not insult anyone, even those he worked with yesterday. He kept on thanking David Mark for giving him the opportunity to be on the ADC platform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KyhlbCHO-I If you have learned anything about politics in Nigeria, it is that you may one day chew your own vomit. FFK, Reno and a few others are good examples. Also watch what you say because it will be your signature. Anytime I think about wailers, I think of that Sun guy Adesina. If I think about fight, Wike is first in my mind. If I think about snatching, I think about grab it, snatch it and run away with it. The words of statesmen are very measured. As bad as e be, Atiku does not insult anyhow, Tinubu too except when he goes campaigning against his opponents etc. But these their spokesmen in an effort to show that they are working go on insult festival without thinking about tomorrow. It's sad to see men in their 50s behave like little children. Quite disgusting. If that young man Buhari used for his media assistant was still there, Anjuri or what's his name, he would have helped Tinubu's administration but taking in the likes of Bwala, Onanuga what do you get? Anything, insult! They don't realize that it is the president they are speaking for. That means if they issue a press release on what Obasanjo said yesterday, they are talking on behalf of the President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, not Mr Tinubu as they know him. The office is more important than the occupant. They have disrespected it so much it has lost its value. Onanuga will use our public funds to be insulting OBI when there are better things to talk about your own boss. You turn Presidency into market place. It shows you that wisdom does not grow every time with age. If a young Anjuri could respect the office and make the Presidency more dignified, then it's not about age but values. The difference was clear once the new media aides took office. They don't know when to separate politics from governance. SixSeven: |
Peter Obi everyday Peter Obi this Peter Obi that Bayo, have you heard about Shakespeare's words? The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief It is now looking like Obi won that last election because I don't understand this craze about him every day and week. Atiku is supposed to be the main opponent APC should worry about but I think Vox populi, voice of the people Vox dei, voice of God SixSeven:You can't deceive me with any politician, Obi is no saint but one thing that is very clear is that he has the support of the people. That is one aspect that baffles politicians and makes them jealous. They know how much they spend to rent people to support them.

Mrhonesty:That's not true. Atiku did not do well last election like he did in 2019. In the three times he appeared on the general ballot for the presidency, Atiku Abubakar received - 2,637,848 votes (7.47%) in 2007 to finish third, - 11,262,978 votes (41.22%) in 2019 to finish second, and - 6,984,520 votes (29.07%) in 2023 to finish second once again. Those votes that went to Obi could have gone to him and he would have won. Atiku has always been lucky to have a platform to use for his elections. Obi had only 6 months to galvanize votes and got almost what Atiku with PDP had, you can't write that off easily. |
I didn't want to agree with the OP because there are places this doesn't matter but I don't know if it is a coincidence that I read this news this morning Unfair and demoralising’: Thousands of graduates earning less than £12.71 an hour five years after leaving university https://www.tiktok.com/video/7649336559925267734 If you don't have an education in the coming years, it will be extremely difficult to be okay because even those with an education are facing high competition to survive.

Repost 👇 Peter Obi is not a saint but in the land of criminals, the one who pretends to be a spiritual leader will win sympathy. SixSeven:Now the problem I have is that our politics has sunk so low that Obi is the one that looks good out of all of them. We have had low grade politicians especially since they packaged Buhari that anything Obi says look good but if you critically analyze him, you can see that we are not asking questions and we are bound to repeat the same mistakes if he wins. Nigerians get carried away by emotions and ojuelegba logic. For instance someone can say I don't trust all of them, at least, Tinubu has been there before, Atiku has been there before as VP, let me choose those ones. You know why? Nigerians have Stockholm syndrome. Any of their leaders that increase the pain for them, they somehow increase the threshold of resistance. No one is asking questions anymore and the campaign we have today is so poor that Obi is the only one talking about some of the issues. Some. He is supposed to be in debates, more question time, how do you want to fix it, do you have your cabinet ready etc but Nigerian politics today is so poor, I may not blame him for not saying everything he wants to do because once you do that, these guys will copy it or attack the person or start promoting their propaganda. Of all the candidates, only Obi seems to have that aura of decency to inspire change. The last person that demonstrated this was Osinbajo, even though I don't support the party but he had it and everyone saw it. That so-called new Sherrif in town Lai Muhammed was touting was shown by Osinbajo in those two weeks he was in charge. Leadership is not all about bragging, power or might. Your aura matters and it is this decency that is working for Obi. He is part of the ex Governors set but his ways and conduct make him stand out and even if the other candidates copy him, if e no be panadol, e no fit be like panadol. I wish Nigeria good luck. https://www.tiktok.com/video/7632098379836689671 Repost 👇 He is definitely a decent politician and that's the class most of his contemporaries have lost.

Obi kerenke Obi Kekerenke Obi Everyday Obi. Please let them talk about something else. ![]() It's getting boring Repost👇 Atiku does not appeal to the youth and going by stats, they are the major voting bloc and will be the only ones to want to come out because whether you like it or not, Tinubu is planning on swimming through voter apathy in 2027. Many of these candidates need to retire, including obi himself. A child born in 1999 is now 27 and would have gone through his adult life hearing about Tinubu and Atiku. A child born in 1993 when Atiku first contested is now telling his own child that Atiku is the future. How? Let me remind you again Now that Buhari is dead, he thinks the North will vote for him and all he needs is someone who will help him get Southern votes. In the three times he appeared on the general ballot for the presidency, Atiku Abubakar received - 2,637,848 votes (7.47%) in 2007 to finish third, - 11,262,978 votes (41.22%) in 2019 to finish second, and - 6,984,520 votes (29.07%) in 2023 to finish second once again. In the first time the candidate he contested with in 2019 (that gave Atiku his highest vote ever) went to test his popularity in 2023, tell me what was the numbers that candidate got. Obi gave him his best result in 2019 and Obidients today will not be behind obi himself as Vice. Atiku is repeating the same mistake of the last election, it's not the time of the North. If he forces his way, the likes of Momodu and Okonkwo will happily help him spend his money on a fool's paradise. SixSeven: |
