Men have been feminized and demonized for their manhood. No surprises.

Marriage is a scam.
Men are this
Women are that

Irresponsible people

Telling us about theory, afraid to take risk of practical. Then they come to preach why you should not get married with their negativity. They don't understand the part of responsibility that marriage does, the path to find yourself and go out there in the world to fend for yourself. The ability to try, even if you eventually return to your parent's house, you return with new wisdom. Men have stopped being men. Because we allowed it.

Marriage Is Not an Achievement But Responsibility Is
Many young people now reject marriage as a measure of success, and they are not wrong. Marriage by itself is not an achievement but it is a social structure. Now let me educate them a bit, what deserves closer attention is not your rejection of the idea of marriage, but the growing discomfort with responsibility that often accompanies it.

In African philosophy, a human being is measured largely by character. Achievement lies in the ability to act with restraint, care, and accountability. Marriage without these qualities is empty and freedom without them is destructive.

Sex has never been treated as morally neutral in any serious society. This is not because desire is evil and we are not biological people but because sex carries consequences. It creates emotional bonds, social expectations, and the possibility of children. A culture that treats sex as casual while demanding stable outcomes is not enlightened. It is inconsistent with social order and you can see the results today. One guy is always writing on his posts here on NL that the only advice he has for men is to conduct DNA.

For women, sexual fidelity was historically preserved to protect clear lines of responsibility but the ones who think they have opened eyes said it was for control. In a world without DNA testing, fidelity ensured that motherhood, paternity, and inheritance were socially legible. It allowed men to be held accountable and children to know where they belonged. Sexual norms were less about purity and more about responsibility. This did not mean women alone bore moral burden. Female sexual discipline made sense only in societies that demanded male duty in return. When restraint was expected of women but responsibility was optional for men, the moral logic broke.

Motherhood, like fatherhood, is more than biology. To bring life into the world is to accept obligation. The woman who nurtures, guides, and forms character performs one of the most demanding social roles that exists. A society that dismisses this labor while celebrating autonomy misunderstands freedom.
The family unit matters not just because it is traditional, but because it works. It is the foundation to society. It is the first place where limits are learned, where care becomes habitual, and where responsibility becomes personal. When family structures weaken, the cost of this weakness does not go away as people think it will fizzle out. It reappears in institutions asked to do what homes once did. There was a reason we said a community raises a child and why our proverbs talk about family and lineage. For so many years, the West tried to break our hegemony, they wanted us to leave our values and ethics and be like them while secretly admiring our foundation and structure. Thank God many people have japa now, they can now see the difference between oyinbo life and our society where each child is everyone's child but unfortunately when they go back home, alas even the people back home want to be like the oyinbo man without knowing it's a sad life disconnected from our roots as a people.

Young people are not wrong to question marriage. They are right to question hollow traditions. What must be reconsidered is not marriage as a trophy, but responsibility as a value.


Sexual freedom without accountability is not progress. Fidelity without mutual obligation is not justice.

I am happy this generation is sleeping anyhow and anywhere with anyone they like. When the chicken comes home to roost, you will then appreciate the wisdom of your forefathers and mothers in preserving the institution called marriage and why society needs order, accountability and responsibility. It is what we call you go see for yourself. When you are young you question many things but with age you start to understand many things too. Your parents got married because it was a sign of responsibility. Some people asked why the opinion of a married person was more important than that of an unmarried person. Those who maintained this tradition knew that it takes a special person to live with another wo/man as husband/wife and still be normal. That's why in the past, for politicians, they used to yab themselves if anyone of them had family issues that "you that cannot take care of your home wants to take care of our country".



Marriage is a school.
Freedom is a mirage.
Marriage is not an achievement.
Becoming a responsible adult is.

Personal development indeed. This generation doesn't want to take responsibility early, they want to deceive themsleves that they are building themselves while projecting their fears on others. They are too young, they are too this and that. Meanwhile, someone at 40 will still get divorced, someone at 50 will still be crying about DNA test. I don't see anything wrong with these guys. North and South of Nigeria never had problems with this kind of marriage until ITK People came in and wanted to be like Westerners. Who will take care of them? Don't worry, they will take them of themselves. Better married than wasting their lives with false promises and giving your virginity for an irresponsible boy still trying to eat the cookie but doesn't want the responsibility of the cookie, yet he says he's building himself 🤡

SixSeven:
We all know this but for some funny reason, we keep deceiving ourselves in Africa then we want to celebrate Oyinbo teens who got pregnant at 16, people who don't care about marriage in the first place when they are lost. If you can do the do, you can be taught to be a man or woman. Parents today should learn from the past and don't repeat the same mistake of yesterday. Education is not only going to the four walls of a school, you need to start that education from your house. No one else will parent your child for you. Africa lost its customs because in the past, young boys and girls were trained and mentored by fathers, mothers, uncles, aunties and elders to pass the baton to but we claim woke and now the child will spend 16 years in education system that was created by the West for the next generation of industrial workers and clerical work. They will not see jobs and instead of finding how to eat, they live in fear, then go for Msc, PhD just to get the jobs that are no longer there. They keep postponing their biology which is a lie. Your body starts to change from puberty, you either let nature take its course or you will raise a child that will pretend for you and fornicate whether you like it or not because they are no eunuch. Medically, we know the best time for women to give birth is in their early 20s but let's keep pretending and deceiving ourselves. If you are Gen Z, find out how old your mothers were when they married. Start with your mom, ask about her own mom and her mom's mom and so on and so on. Put it on a chart. Africa has missed its way big time. There was a reason why they said the community raised a child, e get why.



Don't live in fear. Even those who married in 30-40s still divorced so when you understand life is for the living and experience, you will learn how to live in imperfection.

Why should I leave my mummy and daddy's house when I can play Ps5 comfortably at home without any woman wahala🤡

Did govt tell you there aren't public conveniences all over the state,there is hardly any motor park without one.....thevpost itself explicitly mentioned about 1,700 toilets, do you want govt to build toilets on every street before you are happy?

It's crass responsibility when you cant pay for rent to live in a house and you cant even pay a token for your own crap but insult our sight and environment with your putrid heap.....those people have no business being in lagos if you can be that irresponsible.

I think you meant crass irresponsibility. Banks can close at anytime. Banks actually don't even open 24/7. A government does not need to depend on banks. If the banks help, that's fine, okay, why not tell the Fintech to open their headquarters for people to use the toilets? An eatery has the right to tell no one to use it's toilet. Even in the abroad, some malls either use a lock code or close their toilets to non customers. There is no law that mandates banks, eateries to open to the public if they don't want to. It may be corporate responsibility but if they don't want to, it's none of my business because it is their business. This is Nigeria, not the abroad. If the government wants assistance, they can give the banks and eateries an incentive. For every person using my toilet, they use
1. Water
2. Soap
3. Toiletries
4. Cleaner's time
5. Fragrance
6. Toilet fan, if available
7. Sewage treatment cost
8. Security cost

Is government willing to foot the bill for me? It's one thing to do a campaign for good use of the toilet, it's another thing to leave your responsibility as government and be chasing private property. I will not allow government to neglect its own job and make me depend on a private institution as a tax payer. Shit business is serious business.

Another glaring failure of government to provide basic infrastructure such as public toilets to the people.

To provide
-healthcare, people use private because public health care is not adequate to take care of people

-electricity, people provide their own generators because light is not 24/7, is epileptic and the fees are banditry across Bands A to Z

-roads, people spend hours in traffic, pour sand on the road because governrmes don't maintain roads, don't even build and give us signs, pedestrian walkways, covered manholes, or covered drainages

-potable water, people buy pure water or dig bore hole but the government wants to tax them despite not supplying water to people

-infrastructure, people create their own luxury or japa

-education, people go to private schools, go abroad while public schools are behind

-social welfare?

You are not doing your work as government but you are so shameless, you have the effrontery to challenge them to do your work. What is wrong with our people? Don't let these guys get away with this nonsense! In some countries you japa to, the government opens spaces or libraries for people to stay in when it is cold. They have bathrooms or at least toilets with water there. Common!

immortalcrown:
You are missing the point. As long as the offences are the same, let the punishment be the same.

If you condemn the punishment because the offender is married, condemn the same punishment when the offender is single.

I am enjoying your exchange. I want to see where it leads to. It's even making me think that this is how we got to where we are today and parents who don't like a punishment or school rule come to the school to contest it. Now people say children today are rude, as if they didn't have enablers. It's revealing 🤔

Marriage is a social construct... Nobody is truly monogamous

Men are not monogamous. Women want to prove that wrong but at the end of the day, experience proves it. Me too want multiple men. Lie!

Polygamy is not baby mama or baby papa. That's now who we are. Wife them!

Whoever convinced African men that it is not normal or our forebears were not wise is not wise themself. Oyinbo people just came to scatter society and telling us to accept sleeping with dogs, polyamory and all that nonsense that has no societal and economic benefits to us. Family is the foundation of the society and we already knew that. We had help available, women helping each other. Now women are paying other women to help their own family.

Start speaking about what you are going to do. We won't just support you just because. Just because Tinubu is not doing well, what will you do? Nigerians, ask him hard questions and stop all these play. Those are the hard tackles they need. None of them is doing you a favor. Your future is not in their hands, it is in your hands.

Even if una wan play, after he finish, carry am go post match conference make him answer wetin he go do for Sports Ministry, NFF, our National Stadiums, Nigeria Premier League, our women football, sport academy, creating employment from sports etc. Don't waste these times ahead. Keep these guys on their toes. The reason we are where we are today is because the society has accepted mediocrity as standard. Politicians now want to be like God. You cannot ask them questions, you can't challenge them. They will kill you and nothing will happen. That's because you gave them the power. Una allow them too much space. Una no defend well.

The townhall man that did not attend any debate, una see your life now? Na so Buhari take escape and he did not give a damn about you for eight years. When Arise had interview with him, they called it SPECIAL meanwhile for Obasanjo days, aside regular interviews, he had annual Presidential media chat. Keep repeating the same mistake, na ajekun iya una go de chop.

In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters were between the ages of 18 and 34. 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category.

Una parents and elders dem, their own mum u Don reach 98%, they are used to the system. Youth have the power today. The previous ones use una chop corn, now you want to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Tackle them!

Poor reasoning is saying MTN makes profit, therefore it is not the country but how the money goes. Is MTN government? Don't you know the basic duties of government Mr Fasua?

To provide
-healthcare
-electricity
-roads
-potable water
-infrastructure
-education
-social welfare?

If money is the only thing that makes you rich, then you are poor. It's not always about money. It's what you do with the money.

Why am I writing? Tinubu had all the answers in 2013. Poor?

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.

But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.

“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.

Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.

“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.

Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

Though he could be said to be right in some areas, he is wrong in many areas.

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. Meanwhile, your principal is the most unpopular president elect in recent Nigerian history.

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.

I should also add that Atiku was successful as a VP candidate with Obasanjo in 1999/2003. Therefore to say that Atiku is a loser is not statistically correct. Also, Wike has tried to be Vice, he hasn't even been able to win primaries or be selected as a vice. I think he should accord some respect to those who have gone through the river before him.
Be the judge if you went to school and was schooled.

Money is nothing If you have it, only yesterday I went to look for a man who is owning me close to a million since 2023 only to be told he died last September,I saw his obituary at that moment I didn't think about what he owes me, all could remember was how he was begging me for more time.

There is a difference in their madness. By threatening to slap someone means you intend to commit a crime. Assault. Because the Obidients you are ready to call out are only copying those in power who used more unprintable words against their opponents but all of a sudden, these young people are the problem.

I won't vote for Tinubu but his chances of winning are higher than those who will contest against him.

. Bye elections are not always a good indication of how the election will be. When it is general elections, it is what is on everyone's mind. INEC conducted good bye elections in 2022 and fumbled in 2023.

Time for Atiku to shift, enough is enough.
If he’s desperately interested in power and love Nigeria so much to die for her as a President, he should wait for the pendulum to swing to Northern Nigeria in 2031, then he’ll be massively voted into power.
For now, the focus is on the key players from Southern Nigeria in all the existing parties. This I have seen!

.. They are not reading the room. It's the old guard that are still whining him but he doesn't recognize how time flies. 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.

Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment.

Repost👇

Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election.

If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes.


Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso

A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon.

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.

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

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

In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters were between the ages of 18 and 34. 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Put an Atiku on the ballot and these guys will go watch Big Brother Iran. Before the 2023 elections, they were abused that politics is not online but they proved their point on election day. Except for patronage and access, you won't see youth doing city boy or Jagaban army for Tinubu when they can see how his son who is their age is treated

The old guard, both Atiku and Tinubu recruit young people. For Obi, they don't need recruitment or handout, they are the type that will come out to defend their votes.

Obi is lucky to have such loyalty that cuts across the country. It's not like he is not part of the same the same but he understood them and answered them. These young people feel he is their own, not hand me down. Since when have they been saying the youth will take over. These ones are smart, they know you people are lying and they feel the older ones caused where we are today. I told people after that Endsars that you just saw part 1 of these ones. Buhari has been a bad boy? You think they don't know what's up? There is no vision men in their 70s want to build for them. For Obi, one thing they see about him is that he has character, or at least, says the right things they want to hear and see in their country, not this same old politics of do or die, grab it and snatch it or moneybags, why you think say dem no de give shishi

If your mind does not feel like it, don't help her and close the case. You could have been dead and she would have found someone else. Your experience is simply a test of character. Your character will be tested and has to be consistent whether you have something to gain or not. That is the lesson here for you. Who are you? Money will teach you lessons after you spend it

It is very easy to destroy but difficult to build.

Even a lawyer finds it difficult to demonstrate integrity ( that one that is changing name on X to deny allegations.

They can't give what they don't have.

A thief thinks everyone steals. What has been consistent about APC is that since they came to power, the qualifications of our presidents have been subject to ridicule, affecting all Nigerians whose credentials cannot be trusted internationally anymore. So if you think it's just for politics of 4 years, those abroad can tell you the story. Imagine having to prove that you went to school because someone abroad thinks that look at these people, their president has fake qualifications and they accepted him, how am I sure this one is not fake?

Time for Atiku to shift, enough is enough.
If he’s desperately interested in power and love Nigeria so much to die for her as a President, he should wait for the pendulum to swing to Northern Nigeria in 2031, then he’ll be massively voted into power.
For now, the focus is on the key players from Southern Nigeria in all the existing parties. This I have seen!

.. They are not reading the room. It's the old guard that are still whining him but he doesn't recognize how time flies. 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.

Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment.

Repost👇

Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election.

If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes.


Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso

A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon.

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.

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

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

In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters were between the ages of 18 and 34. 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Put an Atiku on the ballot and these guys will go watch Big Brother Iran. Before the 2023 elections, they were abused that politics is not online but they proved their point on election day.

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.

But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.

“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.

Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.

“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.

Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

Nothing is real again! It is even still better in our great country. In places like the US and Canada, real food does not even exist again!

GMO, preservatives and mad hormones are the today’s norms of food production.

It's scary. Give our politicians small dollars, they opened yansh to accept GMO in Nigeria. The love for money ehn, just because of Bill Gates, they were arguing with us. Okay, now that we can see Gates through the epstein files, does he care about us? 🤡 Evil capitalists
