omohayek: This is just colossally stupid whining. How does Adeyanju know that Tinubu isn't planning to sell off the refineries? Has Tinubu said he wasn't willing to do so? Does Adeyanju think selling off the state-run refineries can be done at a whim, within the span of 60 days? And even if the refineries are sold off tomorrow, does this clown think private investors will require mere days to turn them into highly efficient enterprises that can produce refined outputs so efficiently that they can undercut the prices from huge refiners in the USA, Brazil and the like?
There are so many inanities packed into this buffoon's rhetoric, but sadly the utter senselessness of what he has to say doesn't really matter, given the low level of education and intelligence of the disaffected hordes who will eat this rubbish up. The harsh reality Nigerians refuse to accept is that no matter who won the election, nobody would have been able to avoid total and immediate abolition of the subsidy, as debt servicing was already eating up so much of the FG's revenue that no one would have lent the country any more money to waste on subsidies. All the Obi and Atiku supporters pretending that there was some magical middle way with "partial" abolition ( as meaningless as "partial pregnancy" ) or "palliatives" (with what money from a government already struggling to service its loans) are either shameless liars or outright stupid fantasists - their candidates would have faced the exact same dilemma, and would have been forced to the exact same measures. If Tinubu wanted to sell the refineries, by now they would have started the bidding process. On the contrary, they have started repairs to one of the refineries indicating that government will continue to run them. You also missed an important part of Adeyanju's statement, which is that rightly or wrongly, they should bring back the fuel subsidy until the refineries are working. |

Kukutenla: I must agree though that Atiku since 2019 had a clear cut plan of how to wean the nation off subsidy unlike Baba Blu who never outlined a plan and kept running from interviews and debates while his supporters kept urging him on..... Here we are now Nigerians will never admit it but the real victim of tribalism and the politics of bigotry was Atiku. That man had the best policies and I've always said that. Unfortunately, he too played the politics of bigotry which was where he lost me. |

I'm not excusing anyone. I clearly called it selfishness which is what it is. However, is it coming frim a place of hate? Was it an insult? No! |

Penguin2: All the talks of bringing Southeast to mainstream is not insult on Igbos Abi?
The level of bullshit you lots excuse as part of politicking eh!
If we go with your perspective, then people should have two characters; one for non election periods and the other for election periods.
During election period everyone is allowed to suspend decency, morality and decorum and jump into the gutter. Whatever you do then will be forgotten once elections are over. Right? My position is not that one should have two separate characters. My position is that Kwnakwaso has never been the enemy of the Igbos so many have tried to paint him as. Kwankwaso never insulted the South East. This is the summary of his position: “I like people of the South-East so much that the Kwankwaso, Kwankwasiyya you hear, many thought it Okonkwo and sons. They said because an Hausa man can’t say Okonkwo and sons, he now turned it to Kwankwaso. “The South-East is good in terms of business, very hard working and industrious, but one area they must learn is politics. They are at the bottom line." https://punchng.com/nnpp-only-option-for-south-east-says-kwankwaso/In the same statement where he professed his love or admiration of the Igbo people,he also advised that the South East is a political outsider - and that they should align with his party for better prospects. Please, which one is the insult there? You are the same ones who would say Igbos are being marginalised, now someone is saying to you come to my party for the best chance of overcoming marginalisation,a ndyou then say he is insulting you. |
Politics › Re: Kwankwaso And Saraki Wish Peter Obi Happy Birthday by SmartyPants(m): 11:50am On Jul 20, 2023 |
Penguin2: After Atiku felicitated with Peter Obi on his birthday yesterday, Kwankwaso and Saraki joined in wishing him well on birthday too.
If anything, I’d say I’m not surprised at Saraki’s post since he’s a refined gentleman and I suppose he’s even a closet friend of Obi, but Kwankwaso’s own is what surprised me.
Because not only did Kwankwaso lampoon whenever he got the chance Obi during last electioneering period, he was never shy dragging his entire ethnic region into his vituperative utterances then.
One now wonders what changed? Is this an evidence of political realignment? The narrative of Kwankwaso as an ethnic bigot is clearly not true. The fact is he simply considered himself a better candidate for President, and told Obi the simple truth that the average northerner was unlikely to vote for him. You people twisted this out of anger and now you're feigning surprise? Grow up. |

Why has INEC not uploaded the results till today? Because they do not match the data from the polling units.
Why was the BVAS machines erased again? Because the contents would have disgraced TIFFY-TIFFYNUBU and INEC seriously.
Try harder.
Wait for the court please. . . Lol first of all, i have nothing to prove. My name is not Tinubu and i don't work for INEC. Second of all why are you commenting on the case then asking me to wait for the Court? You opened up the discussion ma. Thirdly you must understand that there is what we call the presumption of administrative regularity, which means INEC and Tinubu's position is viewed by default to be correct, and the burden of proving a case here lies on Obi and Atiku. Tinubu doesn't need to prove much to win. That's legal reality. |

Amah70: It's only a baby who cannot see that Alhajis Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Abubakar Atiku and Rabiu Kwankwaso, shared the votes of their religious and ethnic constituencies and made Peter Obi win the last presidential election in Nigeria with a wide margin. INEC on observing earlier that Obi was leading by a wide margin yanked off the system for electronic transmission of vote results of presidential election; concocted votes manually to pronounce Tinubu president-elect.
And yet Obi didnt petition Atiku...why? |

Is this the same INEC?  It's not about the number of witnesses. Its about the quality of their submission. I'm sure you knoe most of Obi's witnesses did not offer any proof that he won the election? That is the issue on the ground. And of course INEC has a defence...that's what you're reading in the OP. |

plaindealer: I just wonder why the SE with their imaginary largest collection of billionaires, the most industrious, the most educated and whatever label you paint on yourselves are at the end of the day,, an economically depressed region, a backward and unproductive sit at home slavery region under the control of rag tag illiterate terrorists, a region where the people can not make it in life unless they japa and migrate to the SW, the region with riches sand opportunities, the region where you live your life, make your money and not violently forced to sit at home or die.
Of what relevance or worth is a region that it's the only place on earth where there's no constitutional guarantees to freedom of movement, choice and association, and a place where you can not make it in life unless you live the miserable and economically depressed hell hole.
Sadly for you, there are countless ibo economic refugees and migrants in Ogun state hustling for their daily bread and not the other way around like countless Yoruba people from Ogun state in your brutal, violent and barbaric sit at home slavery region.
Ibo people won't leave their home in the SE to look for their daily bread in Ogun state if Ogun state wasn't economically better, safer and secure than their violent terrorist controlled sit at home enclaves. This is basic common sense. Is it me you meant to quote? Coz i don't understand where all this is coming from |
