I remember when I was a soldier. There needs to be a ban on religions and politics. Whether it's a pastor or Imam, they should be banned from talking about politics. Also, they must ban religious houses from giving politicians their podium to use. Therefore, I hereby declare that none of the presidential candidates be allowed to talk about religion and tribe for 2027 elections. Those in favour say AYE

I Sought Pastor Adeboye's Consent Before Going For Vice Presidential Seat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD7nIFKrztk

2015 Jan 5
The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (ACP), Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has expressed optimism that his party, if given an opportunity to govern Nigeria, would bring the needed change at a period that "the entire nation is tired of the state of things".

Professor Osinbajo, who is also a pastor, said that the state of the nation had presented the APC with a chance that had never been, saying "it is the best that has ever been".

Giving his political aspirations, his party's manifesto and how it would be achieved, the Professor said that there was no difference in the roles that he played as a pastor, professor and politician.

"The reason I function as a pastor is essentially because I want to touch the lives of as many people as possible with the love of Jesus Christ and we must, in every situation we find ourselves, be able to help the poor, be able to help those who can't help themselves and stand up for justice.

"I will do same as a political leader. All of these roles must be played in the same way and with the same motivation. As far as I am concerned, it is all the same," he said.

There have been claims that the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, is a religious fundamentalist, but Professor Osinbajo dismissed the assertions, saying that "General Buhari is a very credible individual that does what he says".

@anonimi I wanted to reply to your comment yesterday on the Adeboye thread but I didn't have time. Some of what Adeboye is accused of is wrong but the church cannot absolve itself from complicity.

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 🤡

Goodluck Jonathan: I Conceded Defeat in 2015 Because I was More Interested in Nigeria than Myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o686pPzpXtU

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.

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?

Obi may have not won the 2023 election but he definitely was not the third. That is very clear. The attention he is given is very obvious that his votes were suppressed. Never have Nigerian politicians faced one partyless marauder who doesn't have structure or governors or senators if there's nothing he's not capable of. The 2023 Elections definitely shocked them and that's why without anyone asking, they keep mentioning Obi Obi Obi as if he was the only one who contested the election. They didn't even worry about Atiku who 'came second'. If it was another politician, they would have fought for the results. APC is only lucky that Obi warned people not to protest and wait. So that call was what made people accept the results without protesting. Buhari did not win but he made his numbers in the North look like he won. Atiku likely won 2019 but he also went to court instead of fighting for his results with them. Wike talks a lot and he has inadvertently told us how they wrote results but the people are just waiting patiently for them even though they know they will want to use thugs and violence. We've been here before. Obasanjo was worse than this, he said do or die.

Phones › Re: The Iphones In America Are Different From The Iphones Sold In Nigeria by SixSeven: 2:36am On Jun 04
SixSeven:
eSIMs are designed specifically to connect a wide range of smart devices beyond just mobile phones (smart watches, tablets, laptops, appliances)

The meaning of eSIM is EMBEDDED SIM.
1. The phone contains a built-in eSIM chip (eUICC), but users never deal with it physically.

2. The eSIM chip is soldered to the phone's motherboard at manufacture. Your eSIM relies on a physically soldered embedded chip inside the phone, and what you activate is only a digital profile, not the chip itself. That is why with a QR code (which is simply a code that takes you to a link online), your profile can be read and activated.

3. The device must be eSIM-capable, and activation is done by downloading a carrier profile via QR code or carrier app. This is why when you travel, you can use those eSIMs and when you get to the country, they work using networks available. Some carriers may still require in-person verification depending on regulations, but technically eSIM activation is fully digital.

4. Depending on when you left Nigeria, I don't know if you were conversant with phones that had 4 Sim card slots. Especially those phone from Asia. They created them to meet a need in Africa or specifically, Nigeria. While they were doing that for us, in Western countries, they locked SIMs to providers which is why when they brought those phones here, we had to unlock it because of their own subscription model.

5. Under current Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) regulations, subscribers must generally be physically present at an authorized service center for the initial activation of a Nigerian eSIM. The reason it is easier abroad is because they collected your information as a citizen, resident or another way and they don't need to keep repeating the same process like Nigeria does. Recently, CBN was saying they want your BVN to be tied to one phone number while INEC wants to revalidate our PVC undecided Nigeria identification system is fraught with silo-ism.

The US iPhone 14 series has no SIM trays at all but for some other regions, Apple created Physical SIM tray and eSIM. Go to computer village or meet any repairer and let them show you where your phone eSIM is soldered directly onto the motherboard. smiley

So rest.
In the 2007 Nigerian presidential election, winner Umaru Musa Yar'Adua secured 24.6 million votes, runner-up Muhammadu Buhari received 6.6 million votes, and third-place Atiku Abubakar finished with 2.6 million votes.


You can silence 50 scholars with one fact, but you can't silence one ee-Dee-hot with 50 facts.

FSBoperator:
Only Peter Obi can be so toxic that....

Atiku knew very well that obi is not in any way sellable to the Muslim north and that's why he avoided him like a plague and only put out a statement after Obi left the ADC by recalling how Obi never contributed a dime to their 2019 joint presidential campaign.

Obi is the proverbial fruitless fig tree that does not produce seeds.

A selfish infertile politician that thinks only if his own innate futile ambition.
Fact check:
Atiku's best appearance since contesting elections in 2007 has been with Peter Obi. Atiku Abubakar’s vice-presidential running mates were Ben Obi from Anambra State (2007), Peter Obi from Anambra State (2019), and Ifeanyi Okowa from Delta State (2023).

It's difficult to find him and Ben Obi's campaign pictures of 2007, it was just his face alone in many cases. His best appearance has been with Peter Obi.


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.

I believe you went to school and know what 41% means in an election compared to 29% or 7% regardless of the number of votes they pulled. 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 as Vice so your arguments does not hold water or as they say today, is not backed up by emperical facts. It's just made up of your personal opinion and bias which you are entitled to but cannot be considered factual or accurate.

Being detained is not the same as being arrested although both mean that you are temporarily not free to leave.

An arrest requires strong evidence of a crime and leads to a formal booking at a police station, while a detention is a brief, on-the-spot hold based only on a suspicion to investigate further.

Bloggers should do their work before misleading the public. Your title says arrest, your body said detain. Sensationalism.

Politics › Re: Nigeria's 10 Least-Voted Presidential Candidates In 2023 by SixSeven:
Lanre1st:

That man played the same game with AD so it's not a surprise to see it. Even PDP in Lagos could not be a good opposition because they kept using them as false flag. Look at the last guy who contested for Lagos Governor for PDP last time, he moved to APC and was not ashamed to let you know he worked as a mole. Mr Strategy has used this playbook many times and it works where there are hungry people who can sell their father's house for pittance. It's a Machiavellian type of politics that involves rub my back, I pat you and it's big money involved. Leave integrity for honest people. That one no consain dem.

You see this campaign they are running against Obi and GRV? They did it to Jimi agbaje. In 2007, he made a good show in his first campaign with a relatively unknown party against Fashola, the next time he campaigned as a PDP man, they called him all manner of names and attached 'Ibo' to him. They already took care of PDP in 2007, they were not expecting an agbaje to surprise them with organic votes under DPA, they took note from there and ever since then, he can't win their smear campaign. They are always using tribe to scare voters away but those who understand the game can see the fear. I wonder why people can't see this cheap pattern. APC pattern is familiar, that's why I have no pity for them when ipob or obidient give them the same medicine. They are half sides of a coin as far as I am concerned. It's giving them their own medicine. Propaganda must not be allowed to run unchallenged, if Obidients give them in the same coin, at least, it is fire for fire.

Mr Tinubu does not like competition, you are blocking his way. And we all knew this after Funso Williams was taken away from us by those who know themselves. If that man agrees to a debate this time, I will vote for him. But you can tell that he wasn't bothered about competition, that's why he appointed El Rufai and the gang to speak for him at Chatham House while the other contestants spoke for themselves. Mr Teamship does not bother to do presidential media chats, Mr Wike has done more media chats than the President shocked

The morning shows the day
SixSeven:
For Tinubu, it's always about politics and I hope it doesn't do him in. He is a shrewd politician but he is not equipped for governance. I hope this politics doesn't become his undoing. I had written in a previous post when this news first came out that:



But he has proven us wrong. He is soiling his presidency and personality with mud by HIMSELF.

Before this last election, I observed those who wanted him to be president. Most of them spoke about one favor or the other he did for them or their family. They did not talk about an institution or system that worked. It was what he did for my father, mother or whatever. That is transactional politics. Interestingly, this man wants to be like Awo but Awo ìs still remembered today, if not for anything, for just one single thing. FREE EDUCATION. That is legacy. To Tinubu, everyone has a price. How much is yours?
Democracy is a scam if one country can decide how crazy another's democracy is crazy. Demonstration of craze...

This is why it will not work in Africa because it's crazy how the demo works here. The rulers have figured out how to manipulate the system to benefit them without direct responsibility.

In 1999 - 2003, the Executive did not like the Legislature and orchestrated the removal of the Senate and Reps different times. However you must be aware that the leaders of those houses were not 100% clean. Do you remember Salisu and Toronto Certificate? Within four years, the Senate alone had three presidents. Salisu Buhari’s removal over the Toronto certificate scandal was justified on ethical grounds, but the speed and coordination of the process revealed something deeper, the executive influence was never far away. Evan Enwerem and later Chuba Okadigbo fell amid allegations of misconduct, yet the pattern suggested that leadership crises were being managed politically, not institutionally. Accountability was selective, reactive, and often convenient for the power brokers. Nigeria began its democratic process on a faulty foundation. The Governors will learn after the 2003 tsunami by the PDP how to grab it in the next paragraph.


In 2003–07, the major issue of this tenure was the attempt tamper with constitutional limits through political pressure. Even though Obasanjo denies it today, there is enough documentation on how the third-term agenda was not just about tenure elongation but it was a stress test of whether constitutional rules could withstand executive might. The Legislature was flooded with inducements and intimidation. That the amendment failed remains significant, but equally significant is how close it came to succeeding. Democracy survived this phase by a narrow margin, not by institutional strength but thank God it survived. Credit to Sen Ken Nnamani.


In 2007–11, this tenure combined electoral legitimacy collapse, legislative scandal, and executive weakness. The 2007 elections severely damaged democratic credibility, yet governance proceeded without correction. Yar Adua's attempt to correct the anomaly of an election succeeded a bit when he set up an electoral panel to review our electoral system. Inside the Legislature, the Patricia Etteh crisis and later the Dimeji Bankole era exposed how leadership of the House became entangled with patronage and post-tenure criminalisation. The defining rupture, however, was Yar’Adua’s illness and death. The secrecy surrounding presidential incapacity paralysed governance and exposed a constitutional vacuum. The “Doctrine of Necessity” that elevated the Vice President was a timely fix but it also confirmed that Nigeria’s democracy often survives by improvisation rather than adherence to clear rules. Thank you Dora Akunyili and we can't forget the role of Mr Aondoaka and those who claimed that the President could rule from anywhere in the world. A pattern that will be repeated later under Buhari and now, Tinubu. This period was where the Governors started learning to cut their teeth. They became more influential in Nigerian politics. The Governors' Forum was influencing national politics. This was the period of one party state by PDP that made Ogbulafor boast that PDP will rule for 60 years. Obasanjo had taught the Governors lessons but Yar Adua and Jonathan's scholarly approach to democracy may have cost us a lesson on tight fisted executive.

DORA AKUNYILI'S EXPLOSIVE MESSAGE TO YAR'ADUA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47UulCINeuo

In 2011–15, the main issue of this period was oversight without enforcement. The National Assembly appeared assertive, especially during the fuel subsidy probe, which revealed massive corruption. Yet the failure to secure decisive prosecutions weakened public trust. You must remember that Farouk Lawan was recently forgiven in the Tinubu's presidential pardon list but what he did at that time was a symbol of the corruption at the top. At the same time, electoral reforms under Attahiru Jega restored some credibility to elections, creating a contrast between improving electoral process and stagnant governance accountability. Democracy looked better at the ballot box than in outcomes. Change became possible but the Governors played a major role in redesigning how party politics was. The party was no longer the class captain, each Governor was now taking hold of the party structure at each state.

In 2015–19, this tenure was dominated by open institutional confrontation. Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President against party and executive preference triggered years of conflict. His trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal placed the Judiciary squarely within political struggle. Simultaneously, the Executive openly disobeyed court orders in security-related cases, signalling impatience with judicial restraint. This was not just an executive–legislative problem, it was a systemic breakdown of respect among arms of government because APC was in power, so yih can't blame the opposition. Power was increasingly exercised as moral authority rather than constitutional obligation.
The first attack on the judicial system began here with the Onnoghen trial by the Buhari government. The death of the media also started during this time. APC, which had oiled the machinery of the media to their advantage could not let the same machine take them out. They came out hard on critical thinking and through the Minister of Information, the Press review started here.


In 2019–23, the tenure was defined by the open surrender of legislative independence. Unlike earlier Assemblies that at least struggled with the Executive, this one publicly embraced alignment as a governing principle. Legislative leaders openly described the National Assembly as a “partner” rather than a check. Oversight weakened noticeably. Budgets were passed with little resistance, confirmations sailed through, and major policy questions rarely produced institutional pushback. The loss of teeth was not accidental. Senate President Ahmed Lawan repeatedly framed the National Assembly as a “partner” of the Executive rather than a check on it. In public statements, he emphasized working “in harmony” with the presidency to pass legislation and implement national policies, warning against “unnecessary grandstanding” that could delay governance. Oversight weakened - bills, budgets, and ministerial confirmations proceeded with minimal scrutiny. A prominent example was Godswill Akpabio’s smooth confirmation as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, which drew little interrogation despite prior controversies. Please off your mic. Committees that would normally probe ministers or government contracts rarely escalated findings, signaling a tacit decision that cooperation, not confrontation, was the guiding principle. The loss of teeth was not accidental, it was openly acknowledged, marking a clear departure from Assemblies that had previously struggled even contentiously to assert themselves.
Democracy during this period functioned procedurally but hollowly, with elections and legislative processes intact but scrutiny and accountability diminished.

From 2023–present, the current 10th National Assembly has intensified this pattern. It had easily won the worst National Assembly even before concluding its tenure. Senate and House leaders, including Akpabio, have publicly reinforced the idea that lawmakers are not elected “to fight the Executive” but to collaborate on national priorities. Akpabio stressed that legislators should support executive-led bills that serve the nation, even if critics label this a “rubber-stamp” legislature. Committees continue to exist, but oversight has become largely symbolic. Critical national issues, security challenges, rising inflation, and controversial economic policies see limited legislative pushback. What stands out is not conflict but its absence, making it clear that the Legislature now prioritizes alignment and on a mandate they wish to stand on with the executive over independent scrutiny. In practical terms, the National Assembly functions, but as a facilitator of executive priorities rather than a co-equal branch ensuring accountability. This Assembly has trashed any respect whatsoever you may have for the Legislature. Publicly singing on your mandate they shall stand, trying to praise the President's work and laughing over serious issues that affect Nigerians or completely ignoring them have made them weaker than the whisker of a cat.



Looking at Nigeria’s National Assembly from 1999 to today, a clear pattern stands out. Each four-year tenure faced big challenges, but the Legislature often let itself be shaped by politicians and party leaders instead of standing up to protect the people’s interests. The 10th Assembly shows this clearly. Leaders openly put the President’s wishes above their constitutional duty. They approve bills and budgets without asking tough questions. Committees that should investigate government programs barely do their work. By choosing to cooperate instead of check power, the Legislature has weakened democracy from within. At the same time, the Judiciary has often compromised, bending under pressure or choosing caution, which has limited its ability to fully check government power. Go to court!!! grin


This problem is not unique to Nigeria. In countries like Venezuela, democracy exists on paper but is erased by politicians who manipulate institutions for their own gain. We can see the same pattern here. But pointing out these failures does not give outsiders the right to lecture Venuezela. Even strong democracies like the United States struggle with their own political crises and institutional problems. True democracy only works when the people and their own institutions hold power accountable. No one else can do it for us.

Lanre1st:
That is why I'm still seeing OBI as part of Tinubu plan to win!
Why he joined ADC when he knew he can't do without contesting? With coalition, I'm seeing Tinubu being defeated, but now with splitted votes, Tinubu has a chance
The coalition itself looks like a trap to make him not contest. Everything has been done to make sure he doesn't appear on the ballot and that's why everywhere he goes to there is a problem there. He is not a saint but I strongly believe that he is the one who gives Tinubu the most headache. He came third and they are not even afraid of Atiku, that should tell you something. Atiku and Tinubu are also friends, they have worked together before. Obi is working with a lot of pretentious people who you don't know what's in their belly unless you take a MRI scanner with you. Nigeria politics lacks principles, many of them have a price so they can be easily bought. Tinubu has used this method since he was in Lagos, he does not like opposition and if you are ready to work for him, he doesn't mind even if you are in another party. Just make sure you give him what he wants. Corruption is crazy in Nigeria my friend. Again, Obi is not a saint but he is a threat to most of your politicians who won't be able to make deals. I will give you a little history of our politics in the next post and see how we work.
Politics › Re: The Absolute Stupidity Of Telling Nigerians To Vote And Get Their Pvc.. by SixSeven: 8:37pm On Jun 03
Repost from old 👇

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your PVC
3. Before election day, you see your name Ong the list of registered voters
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
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? Chai


Current post: what Tinubu did in 2023 with Yakubu and so called glitch especially for Rivers state opened the people's eyes on how they rig. Rigging is not new to Nigeria. You need to understand our history of elections to appreciate where we have come to.

In one of my posts, I wrote
SixSeven:
I wrote in my comment that there will be a surprise in 2027 that the parties have not planned for. INEC will be the referee but the people will be the VAR. The Morocco vs Senegal referee already saw a sample of where Refs can be checked. The situation room of everyone will make it difficult for anyone to tamper with results. What APC did in 2023 was the Expo they gave the people.
someone then said this👇

Do not be angry with me if I tell you the truth.

The truth does not need revision
The truth does not argue
The truth does not try to correct itself
The truth does not shout
The truth does not chase applause
The truth does not bend to comfort
The truth does not fear questions
The truth does not rush to be believed
The truth does not compete for attention
The truth does not disguise itself
The truth is patient
The truth waits
The truth stands
The truth remains

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Life lessons will repeat itself until you learn.


Obi may have not won the 2023 election but he definitely was not the third. That is very clear. The attention he is given is very obvious that his votes were suppressed. If it was another politician, they would have fought for the results. APC is only lucky that Obi warned people not to protest and wait. So that call was what made people accept the results without protesting. Buhari did not win but he made his numbers in the North look like he won. Atiku likely won 2019 but he also went to court instead of fighting for his results with them. Wike talks a lot but the people are just waiting patiently for them even though they know they will want to use thugs and violence. We've been here before. Obasanjo was worse than this, he said do or die.

Another repost 👇
INEC can pretend all they want to but we are not as ignorant as they want us to be. Have you listened to recent statements from Wikehuh

On the topic in Politics › Re: Emeka Ike: Lere Olayinka Has No Right To Expose My Privacy, I’m Ready For Him , I wrote this below 👇

The NOA and NITDA should actually be taking this up and use it as an example to others. But I am sorry, that's wishful thinking. Our institutions are heavily compromised already. No one dares Wike who officially threatened to revoke the land titles of any hotel, event centre, or public building in Abuja that hosts political factions or organisations not recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Is INEC truly independenthuh

If Wike can speak on behalf of INEC, what does that mean?
more ↓
That's not all. Think about something else Wike said yesterday. He said 👇

During a public address, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike recalled that during the 2019 presidential election cycle, current Senate President Godswill Akpabio—who was then the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs—visited him at the Government House in Port Harcourt. According to Wike, Akpabio approached him with a request stating, "Please, we will want you, let Mr. President Buhari, let him have 25 percent." Wike, serving as the Governor of Rivers State at the time, rejected the plea to allocate the constitutional minimum threshold required for a presidential victory by responding, "How do you get 25 percent? Is it by writing? If it is by writing, okay give me the paper let me write. I know the only way you can get 25 percent is by voting. Let the people vote, right?" Wike shared this exact exchange to illustrate his track record of resisting external political pressure and "federal might" by maintaining direct alignment with his grassroots support base.
more ↓
What many did not pay attention to there is the 25% Wike said. Though it's for Buhari but you can understand what is going on. What is on their mind and what they wanted to achieve at all costs which is why we don't have a complete result for 2023 in Rivers in the portal. It is clear that INEC 2023 Rivers result was made in Rivers and Tinubu did not win it so they should spare us this demo of INEC's independence.

Politics › Re: The Absolute Stupidity Of Telling Nigerians To Vote And Get Their Pvc.. by SixSeven: 8:26pm On Jun 03
Protect your votes. You need to understand that voting is not because we are dummmmb It's because you can't fight any government except you want to lose your lives. Election is still the most non violent process but what happened in 2023 was a coup. Now the people have learned from the scam. I have said it that this time the people will be the VAR of INEC that it will be difficult to rig except the people let it be. People have been patient and even the politicians know. If you know Nigeria's history, except for a violent revolution, a peaceful free and fair election is the next way. You already heard NDC say they will track the results, do you remember APC did something like this in 2014 especially after Buhari had lost for 3x? That pressure alone made them announce the results not like Jonathan could not rig or the boys could not rig on his behalf.

Politics › Re: Nigeria's 10 Least-Voted Presidential Candidates In 2023 by SixSeven: 8:17pm On Jun 03
Omoyele was top 3 from the bottom yet he speaks so much about the election and his popularity. He tried. Next time the person should write the list from 10-1 not 1-10.

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.


A United opposition will defeat tinubu before the election begins. With a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide margin. There is no need to argue about that.

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?

I support the commissioner on this!
With all the corporal punishment our generation endured, we are very undisciplined when abroad,
Unable to obey simple commonsense rules!
Have you read the report that
A recent study found that a large swath of Gen Z and millennial parents still use spanking as a form of punishment.

Google it wink even the millennials who are gentle parenting advocates are now finding out...

alfajohn:
In I didn’t watch the video but I think what the commissioner is against is telling the students to come to school on a public holiday and punishing them for being late on an official non school day. Before you argue that it is a private school know that government license all private schools and you sign to abide by specific rules and regulations. I may think that before it escalated to this maybe the school has been previously warned to desist from such acts and it turned a deaf ear.
Going to one school does not solve the problem. How about issuing a directive and sending ministry officials to ensure compliance?

Lopsided, upside and down character and behavior, the Commissioner was very wrong to correct the Priest in front of the pupils and the Priest must be questioned on what pupils are in school on a public holiday.... However, must everything be in video come online? Chai
Good question. Why are the pupils in school on a public holiday? That's what the Commissioner may not know but when they have exams or they missed some school days, I know some schools make up for it. We all don't know, the commissioner doesn't know and he goofed big time for not knowing. Why? Because he started from the end. He never asked. He then concluded on what he didn't know by making a conclusion of a topic he doesn't have all the information on🤡

Are you telling me the parents are not aware their children are in school on a public holiday? Will he take them back home?

As if he did not kneel down for lateness during his school years.

Some of our people too dey do.
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

The commissioner should be fired for

1. Disrespecting his subordinate
2. Insulting the fathers in front of the children
3. Interfering with their work without permission
4. Violating the privacy of the young children (he took a camera and shared the video with us)
5. Not following due process. He just said I am the commissioner, he didn't talk to the school, no forewarning and even if it is a surprise, he did not meet the school authorities first at least from the video he showed us. If he did, he won't have to introduce himself that way.
6. Recording and uploading the video

He simply made a fuuul of himself. And he is a professor cry
