CoinCharmer:Was he the one who shouted wahalà wahalà wahalà ![]() |
The problem with democracy in Africa is that the unpopular people are unwilling to accept that they are not the people's choice so they will scatter it for everyone if they don't have their way. Aren't they threatening us already in Lagos that it's APC or we harm you? Aren't they popular as they claim? Why are they afraid of elections? Because the truth is bitter. Look at what happened in Rivers state. Look at how someone said we should GRAB IT, SNATCH IT AND RUNAWAY WITH IT. Democracy is the voice of the people but the voice of the Satan is what these people want, not the voice of God. Politicians are also evil because even the military also need their help, the only difference is that military no de forgive. They want you to follow their own rules. Apes obey!! . Is Tinubu a popular president (elect)? No Did he win the election? Yes, according to INEC Is he the president today? Yes. I don't want to go too much into the details but I stand by my words. He wasn't a popular president. I asked AI to help write, so opinion is not mine and it doesn't mean the statements below are fullproof but they provide a good context Good question. It depends how you define “popular.” Here’s how Bola Tinubu (according to Independent National Electoral Commission — INEC) fares by objective results — and why many analysts argue that doesn’t necessarily mean “popular.”Here is the stats of the declared winners since 1999. Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not a popular president elect Here is the brief, 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.

frog12:He is not to those who like the games of power, politics and positions. He is a useful tool, very fine tool. I had posted that they made us think Atiku was the problem but look at PDP one year after Atiku left. We know who is sponsoring him and enjoys the chaos. It's not accidental. It's well planned. 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 The morning shows the day

Jonathan the weakling asked his Ministers to resign if they wanted to contest in the next elections and join politics. Tinubu the strongman cannot reign in his Ministers to resign if they want to face politics. Life is wonderful. None of Obasanjo's Ministers dare play politics when he was the Boss. You don't need to go far to know who gives Wike the relevance. A president who is more interested in politics than governance. Newsdesk President Goodluck Jonathan officially instructed his ministers with political ambitions for the 2015 general elections to resign on October 15, 2014. During a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on that date, he directed those planning to contest for elective offices to submit their resignation letters by October 20, 2014. Key details regarding this event include: The Valedictory Session: A valedictory session was held on October 15 for seven ministers who had indicated they would be leaving to pursue governorship bids. The Ministers Involved: The seven ministers who resigned following this directive included Nyesom Wike (Education), Musiliu Obanikoro (Defence), Labaran Maku (Information), Samuel Ortom (Trade), Emeka Wogu (Labour), Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health), and Darius Ishaku (Niger Delta). Reason for Resignation: The directive was issued to ensure that government officials did not use state resources or machinery to fund or influence their personal political campaigns for the upcoming 2015 elections. Earlier in the same year, on February 12, 2014, President Jonathan had also accepted the resignations of four other ministers, some of whom were reportedly leaving to further their own political interests.

JuanDeDios:What you did is justification for corruption. Let's leave who is right or wrong. I am more interested in your comment that it is not corruption. Can you define corruption please? Are you aware inducement is a form of corruption? How come Obama rejected some gifts when he was President? Let's leave America and their double standards because they allow their companies support corruption through what they call facilitation payments. I ask you, what is corruption and please analyze the scenario of tipping and why it is not corruption. I want to learn something new. |

LordIsaac:In Europe, it's not the same. And to the person who was trying to say I don't understand, some stores explicitly write in their stores that they don't expect any tips from customers. Call it what it is. Anything you are forced to pay is not coming from you. It's the same thing as what the police man does to you here in Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPkEnflkQtQ Nigerians don't have a mind of their own. Anything foreign, they don't even try to find out its history or their own cultural philosophy, they just zoom, justify it and defend it as if their forefathers invented it. I see that as insecurity and not knowing yourself. If you go to some Asian cultures, the host must give you something. In some other places, you must bring something along for the host. Make una try study una culture before embracing everything foreign.

JuanDeDios:That's not true. That's the excuse they just make to justify what they are doing. You do realize that even food delivery workers demand tip? Have you seen the video of the man who brought a gun to the customer's house because he wasn't given a tip? So if it is about the cost, what cost is the delivery person saving or costing? ![]() Whatever you have paid for is what you have paid for. Any other cost is extortion and that is what it is. It's corruption. QED

^^^No minister can dare do what Dora did back then and you now see why Wike is behaving the way he is behaving. Senior prefect is not at home, the class can make noise. This Senate President cannot remove or threaten to remove the president. We all know why. Since Ahmed Lawan became SP, it's worse. I give you two examples of our indiscipline. We were made to believe Atiku was the problem with PDP. He left PDP for over a year now but we can see what is going on. We thought APC was angelic in criticizing PDP, but they have done so many ills that PDP would never dare try. All of them are hypocrites.

Repost 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. AUDIO: The $3 million conversation between Farouk Lawan and Femi Otedola - Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUnWDgEMDa8 $3million bribery: Farouk Lawan request removal of Otedola's company from fuel subsidy report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7gzT5vd0vE 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!!! ![]() 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. ©️ SixSeven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6QgwDREmo |

Edun reportedly took a different route.

This is why ADC was a better party for Obi to port to because of those who founded it. I am not a fan of these politicians but having Atiku, David Mark, Aregbesola and their types behind ADC was a strong statement because in the other parties, there are weaklings. We were made to believe Atiku was the problem of PDP but one year after he left, the problems are not resolved. Jonathan's presence doesn't make any difference. Obasanjo left the party a long time ago. They no longer respect the party and they have been compromised in that party. When poverty is high, people's prices are very cheap and that is what is happening in all these parties. |
