Is you that CANNOT even pass common teaching job interview that are now advising Tinubu huh If you know so much why can't you yourself run for the office. All of you have now become his advisers as if it was your advice that took him to where he's today. And look at the pettiness you gave as wisdom above.
cheesy

You guys are clowns. Is Tinubu on nairaland? How could I be advising him when he's not here to listen? I'm amusing myself by dropping random comments here and there. If you like give yourself hbp for nothing. Mr head teacher.

It is unfortunate you are a very poor reader of history. When South Eastern officers staged the coup that killed Northern, South Western and South South politicians leaving folks from their tribe, the North waited Six (6) months for Aguyi Ironsi to correct the wrong by arresting the perpetrators and prosecuting them. Instead, he abolished federal system of government and introduced unity system under the disguise of uniting Nigeria. The IGBOS taught they had Nigeria under their palms then. So Igbos only speak out when their interest is threatened. They don't care if other people's right are trampled upon
What does this have to do with my post?

I don't know much my dear. But through history, we can learn. Ironsi thought he could appease the north by surrounding himself with his eventual executioners.

ok after adding, pls remember to minus those illegal votes alotted or allocated to Tinubu by HiNEC, then do the remaining mathematics. E go shock you say Obi won
We're saying the same thing. Take the whole of Rivers and Lagos votes. That is even Tinubu's own, take them and add them for Uncle Peter. Would he have won?

kaydee007:
The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State, Magnus Abe says he is withdrawing his petition against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) challenging the March 18 governorship election which produced Siminaliayi Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the Governor-Elect.

Abe made this known while addressing party faithful at the SDP state head office in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Sunday.

He said his action was borne out of his love for the state and his interest in moving the state forward.

Abe said, “The interest of our state has always been and will remain paramount to me. We cannot at any stage of our politics put our own interest above the interest of those who have sacrificed so much to follow us.

“We cannot also put our ego above every other consideration in our State. We must learn as politicians to be pragmatic and put the interest of Rivers State and Rivers people above every other interests.

“Having taken a very clear review of the situation in the state and what is happening in the state, I have decided, in consultation with the party both at the national and at the state, that I, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, will withdraw my petition at the Election Petitions Tribunal in the interest of those who have suffered and sacrificed in support of our cause.

“More importantly, it is the interest of our state so that we begin to reduce the bickering and confusion that is in our state, in order to give all of us opportunity to be able to move forward with our lives.

“I take this decision very conscious of the pain, of the trauma and of the confusion it will bring to all of you.”

Abe also denied allegations by the state government that he was demarketing the state in anticipation of a Federal Government appointment.

He maintained that those who blocked a major road in Port Harcourt at INEC’s gate and arrested lawyers in their hotel rooms from getting materials that could help their case in the courts are those who are demarketing the state.
What I thought Obi would have said and done.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Never Pay Money To Buy These 3 Courses Again... by SmartyPants(m):
LeopardX:
Well said.
I have never been convinced by their sweet talk before.

Before an average Nigerian will decide to teach you a money making skill for free or for a fee, best believe that the main reason he's doing that is because he's not making as much money as he would want.
That's not necessarily the case. When you master a skill there are three levels of progression:

1. Applying it yourself - you may reach a natural limit

2. Doing it for others - you can reach more people but will still reach a limit

3. Teaching others to do it - you are virtually unlimited

It's a natural progression.

The problem is we have people who want to jump to teaching without mastering the skill.

Oga I cannot waste my time saying the same things I have repeated in past conversations with you, because you are determined to revell in your lies and your self deceit so there is really no need, but one thing is sure the laws of nature always reward every deed good or bad and you will get yours surely.
When have you and I spoken on this issue? Well maybe I don't recall - can you point out your previous post to me that addresses the specific question of how Benue and Delta were rigged; what the margin of rigging was; and how that affected the winner of the election? I am certain I have never had this conversation with anyone. Who is really the deceiver here?

And will the laws of nature not award you your just recompense? Perhaps you imagine, in your little cubicle, that the laws of nature are a sword for you to wield against your perceived enemies. cheesy We will all get our just reward of course. Unto liars and deceivers their due. Are you safe my dear? That's for you to ponder on.

Oga let us not talk too much let us see what the tribunal will say, if rhe judiciary does anyhow they would have soiled the reputation of the judiciary forever and no one would respect the judiciary again.
Don't be disingenuous. You know you have nothing to say. We are talking--in lay men's terms, about the realistic chances that the scale of rigging had anything to do with the outcome of the election. You entered the conversation to volunteer information, and now you're running away at the first challenge? Shame.

As for the judiciary, well you may choose not to respect them. Who will that hurt? When cheated in a deal if you refuse to respect the Courts that can grant you justice are you doing the judiciary or yourself?

In any case, even Peter Obi has not gone there to argue that he was rigged out. He knows that such argument, even if successful, will only make Atiku the winner. He has gone there to argue that Tinubu was not qualified so there should be a fresh election. Meaning, the substantive issues before the Courts are not even capable of answering the question of rigging.

You don't seem informed at all. Anyway, cheers.

Benue too and Delta was rigged against Peter Obi
1. What's the evidence of mass rigging in those States?

2. What was the margin?

3. If you add that too, would he have won?

Politics › Re: Transform South-East Into Dubai – Ohanaeze Tasks South-East Governors by SmartyPants(m): 8:40am On May 01, 2023
Reference:
Their governors have no impetus to change anything significantly. There is no pressure on them to do so.

Good governance anywhere in the world is not given, it is demanded and in some cases fought for.

Look at the political demographic across Nigeria. The most developed states contain the most dynamic people of influence irrespective of resources.
Can you elaborate on this? What exactly do you mean?
Politics › Re: Presidential Election That Produced Tinubu Not Free, Fair ― Prof Onigbinde by SmartyPants(m): 8:28am On May 01, 2023
This is what I don't get. Okay, Lagos was terribly doctored to Reduce Peter Obi's votes according to this prof. Now take the entirety of Lagos. Will that make Peter Obi the winner? Even add the entirety of Rivers which we all know was rigged. Will that make him win?

The problem i have in this country is the citizens. If it was lagos that built those fly over it wouldn't be Eye-service infrastructure...lol. The infrastructure has helped Rivers state even though you are blind to see it. Another government should do other things since they have built solid road infrastructure.
First of all, no one cares what your problem with Nigeria is. "lol". Secondly, may I inform you that the problem you have is yourself. You made a series of assumptions based on the way you think and generously credited them to "the citizens". Well, Mr man I am happy to inform you that you can keep your parochial way of thinking to yourself.

My line of thought is consistent regardless of the State. After all, I am from the South-South, not Lagos, and have no reason to be blind to good things in my own area.

Moreover, I never mentioned a particular State so maybe you can ponder on why Rivers came to your mind. If I had any particular governor in mind it was Yahaya Bello.

Mr man stop being biased, No state can match up with Lagos, The advantages the state has over others, is enormous..
Biased how? Am I from Lagos? I want my state to do better by trying to emulate Lagos - I never said other states must meet up in all respects. But they should try! This is not even just about infrastructure. Even in terms of Laws Lagos is far ahead of other States in its legal system with some progressive laws, especially in its criminal laws. It is not a competition rather we must copy good examples!

How many countries do you see have a all major cities in them and all act as cities? Lagos is called a city for a reason, just like other cities in the world.
Some of these things are just basics. Even Lagos is not yet at the global standard so it's not a question of being a major city. Lagos just has forward-thinking governors while others who even want to try at all may content themselves with building flyovers and such that I would call eye-service infrastructure.

Lagos always doing as if it is a country of its own separate from Nigeria. Wonderful, forward-thinking government!

Other States need to step up and emulate some of these things.

Lai Mohammed a government official making such statement should know that it amounts sub judice because the matter is already in court.

The best way tinubu can have a legitimate government is to prove in court that he won the elections. it is the rights of the contestants to explore.

The 2023 election is different from 2015 where Jonathan accepted the results even though there were lapses , that doesn't mean Peter Obi must accept the present sham and until the courts preside he is illegitimate.
There were obvious defects in the elections but we all know that even with those defects Obi never came close to winning. and this is how you test the mettle of one who claims to mean Nigeria well:

He has gone to Court to ask for a fresh election, knowing how much that would cost the country! He knows he didn't win and he won't win against Tinubu based on the reality of Nigeria's politics. So he wants the Courts to exclude Tinubu and give him a fresh election. Nothing else matters to Obi. The country can be plunged into crisis for all he cares. As long as he gets another chance to contest an election.

Of course the Courts won't grant such requests but it's interesting to be proven right about the character of the man.

Man Utd is just an awful team. I'm a United fan. City dominated the PL without strikers.

The difference comes down to mentality. Man Utd has always struggled with it. They go into every match praying for a win instead of KNOWING they should win.

Score them first or get a goal back & watch them capitulate. Look at the doings Arsenal, Newcastle, & City have wowed the world with this season, some thanks to a little confidence.
Yet utd are level on points with Newcastle and have a game in hand. Can you hear yourself?
