effort in futility……gringory that will never be president even Kwankwaso knows obi is going nowhere but just positioning himself for 2031 when obi will be under obligation to support his presidential ambition

greatiyk4u:
The prevalence of Domestic violence these days is evidently caused by frustration from Tinubu induced hardship and hopelessness

The only solution is joining hands to ensure that..........

yes, Tinubu is also the reason for your lack of common sense…….region of particular concern where their are too many toxic and bitter people will always produce incidence like this

Hmnn it's well. Let's see how the next elections will be. For me I don't belong to any political party. My concern is to see a Nigeria that will truly make us all proud and not shameful as it is today and as it has been all this while. I am truly not happy with everything with Nigeria. And I happen to know that it's leadership we lack. The curse bedeviling is the leadership. Boss just look at the amount of money stolen by human beings like Malam and Emefiele, look at the kind of loans we are taking even when we removed the subsidy, look at the presidential pardon we are giving criminals, look at the way things are going. It's really sad. I am afraid I cannot defend what is bad. What leads to loss of lives and hypocrisy. I am not a saint sir but I strongly feel I must lean on a d hold onto my conscience so that when I meet my Maker i will be happy and have clean heart.

I agree with you that we are not doing so well and not where we are meant to be but There is no messiah anywhere that will come and rescue us from our current predicament with the current constitution we are operating and that’s why Tinubu is systematically trying to restructure the country and there won’t be a quick fix. The economy of Nigeria as been long battered and it will take years to get it right and by laying a solid foundation is one
The thing Tinubu administration is doing that’s why he is reforming most of our economic sectors and we can see the reforms and the economy trying to stabilise. He introduced some of the current reforms which as not been easy for the masses but we will all reap the benefits it a long term but it won’t be immediate. Most of the opposition candidates won’t be doing anything different if they take over and most of them have not been able to tell us their plans and what they will do differently. There are reforms going on in the economy, the local govt autonomy is also going to bring development closer to the grassroots and also how security architecture needs to be reformed and that’s why he is also working on the establishment of state security and many other reforms going on but some of this thing won’t be immediate because he as to work with the constitution and that’s why i will rather continue with a Tinubu who I already see the direction he is going than to vote someone who as no achievement or manifesto of what he will do differently and no disrespect to your choice of candidate which you have a constitutional right to vote whoever you want and btw thanks for keeping the convo civil unlike some psychopant obi supporter who will rather result to insulting opposing views.

GiftofGod77:
I can see your own point of view boss but why he left the lp and later the adc was because based on thr mast elections that was held he was clearly the second runenr up with a large number of voters which clearly shows that if not that we have desperate people loke Mr Atiku who want to be president by all means he wild have won the elections. So he is trying to find a space where he can once again ey and see if he might use the same points ans appeal to try another shot. Instead of the other political heavy weights to support him and make coalitions they have chosen to stick to their guns and its why he has decided to seek other parties which is why he is where he is. To be fair to him I think it is not completely true that he sis not achieve anything in his state haba it sounds ludicrous sir. He must have done somethings to help his people.

like I said you have a right to support your candidate but your excuse about him decamping from different parties because of some party issues doesn’t suffice….obi was able to achieve a lot in Lp and he couldn’t stay to fix the party problems which were internal problems but rather decamped and that tells a lot about is lack of leadership.he also left to ADC but because he lacks confidence of contesting against a formidable opponent but rather wanted a soft landing by giving him the party ticket and that also show he lacks confidence and how will such a man win a national election? And lastly obi was able to win a section of the country and he based his campaign on religious sentiments and never campaigned on his achievements while in office as governor and that was why in did well in Christian dominated states and lost largely in the north and Sw, the two region with the highest number of registered voters and he couldn’t even meet the constitutionally required 25% mark in 24 state of the federation to show his spread and popularity so how can you claim he could have won an election he clearly lost?

GiftofGod77:
To be honest with you I never stress or imply he is the best. And I acknowledge he must have his own shortcomings too. But what I am suggesting is that we give him a try. Those former governors you mentioned have their ugly past and even present. I am not an Obedient and I don't subscribe to any political party. I am just a Nigerian trying to see how we an save this our country from the like is those who create white elephant projects which as PFIPC or those who will openly state that we can continue liking ourselves while they continue eating our money with their families. And so many other shameful things that are saddening. So like I said noting wrong in trying. It's well.

and I’m telling you if we are to try any other person aside from Tinubu it is not someone who also as performed poorly in his past public office….and I told you if he had not been tried before now maybe you opinion about giving him a try might have sufficed but obi as no record of achievement as a governor and all his supporters have not been able to tell us what he did differently in small Anambala that can be used as a benchmark to give him our vote he couldn’t even manage party issues in a small party like Lp in which party he was able to get votes but decamped and he did same in ADC barely 3month of joining the party and also decamped so how can such a man possibly be the solution to our aged long problem as a country when he couldn’t solve problems of his immediate concerns talk more of a larger problem of Nigeria

GiftofGod77:
These are one side opinions and clearly political. I think in his past history there are the good things he must have made or some. Even the present Head of the country had his own mistakes when he was governor of Lagos. No one is perfect. One thing I have not really got is in the issue of corruptly stealing and also in terms of corruptly running through afraid of Anambra state while he was governor. I am.not saying he was a saint of course he must have made mistakes this is understandable but what I am saying is his positive virtues. Let's give him a chance and see. After all this is a democracy if he fails we remove or vote him out after four years. Just my humble opinion though.

bikonu, can we have a list of his achievements while serving as a governor of anamabla?? all his obidient supporters seem to always avoid this question and keep telling us he saved money and he as no corruption cases on his neck but yet appeared in Pandora papers, saved state money in a bank in which he had interest and was also caught laundering 250million state money etc…..if he as never occupied a public office, that would have been a different case and maybe your suggestion of trying him would have sufficed but he already as a record of non achievements in his past public of and you may want to dismiss the opinion of people he once governed about him and call that of a sitting governor who as privilege information about a state obi once governed as political. But you want us to take your own word for it because you are who again? Pls spare us that. You have a right to support your candidate but don’t come and tell us he is a better alternative when majority of unbiased mind can see his past public record which is below average and did nothing spectacular even during his Time as governor, he was not among the best 5 performing governors that had the likes of fashola of Lagos, Akpabio of Akwa ibom and amaechi of rivers who all did better than him and pls don’t compare in with Tinubu because Tinubu as former governor of Lagos as far more achievements and landmarks to his name than obi and we can also tell that by the continuety of progress made by his successor which he mentored laying a solid foundation for them which as made Lagos a choice destination and the 5th largest economy in Africa

GiftofGod77:
Hahahaha Haba please at least let's try him and see. Democracy is all about trying until we find the right person who can give us the right kind of leadership we all need.

we should try a failure that failed in tiny anamabla?? is Nigeria problem a joke to you?? We won’t reward a failure with the highest office in the land…..Nigeria is too big for bitter obi, the agulu well packaged fraud to rule

gbajue for a reason……it’s election time again, so I guess we should be expecting more show biz from gringory the Gbajue still thinks Nigeria will fall for this stale tricks better 3rd position still Dey await you

what is stringent about the bail condition? Even though hell rufai deserves all that he is facing right now because it was self inflicted a typical case of “ yanga Dey sleep, trouble go wake am” he was heard on national Tv claiming to have tapped phone conversations of the NSA and also other claims including corruption allegations…..that being said, he is not a commoner or an average Nigerian so he should be able to meet the bail condition with his influence and connections as a former governor……i am sure he must have learnt his lessons…..btw how come his new found friend obi and his delusional supporters who have been everywhere on SM when the coalition was first formed,telling us how Hell rufai they once vilified as suddenly become saint gone silent on him and throw him under the the bus

AlphaTaikun:
That's good to know that you have Egba lineage as well. Indeed, the 1891 census figures of Lagos CLEARLY which you can find online shows a very strong presence of Yoruba folks of Egba people on Lagos Island including the Ekos (Lagos Island aboriginal folks of Awori lineages), other Aworis, Ijesas, Ekitis, Ijebus, Yewa, then others such as Tapa, Hausa, and the British settlers. [NO Ibos and others who ONLY migrated to Yorubaland after 1914].

I'm sure you know that many Egbas also settled in Ebute-Meta as well such as the Vaughan family of Egba origin from the United States (in addition to Egbas on Lagos Island) after the Christians among the Egbas and the White missionary folks were expelled from Abeokuta back in the late 1800s due to the FACT that Chief Sodeke and his other Chiefs suspected strongly that the Christians in Abeokuta were providing covert support for the British in the battle Egba had with the Ijebus for the control of the coastal trade. Vaughan was living in Abeokuta when he was expelled so he finally settled Ebute-Meta on Lagos Mainland.

This is how one of the two male Vaughan family members of Egba descent following the instructions of the original Vaughan patriarch who was brought on a slave ship to the United States from Yorubaland in the early 1800s instructed his 2 sons [while on his death bed in South Carolina to migrate to Africa in order to locate their ancestral homeland (Yorubaland)]. His son's who were born in the USA to a Native American woman and had 5 other biological sisters eventually left South Carolina for Liberia before finally landing in Nigeria (Lagos Island) in search of the Egba ancestral homelands their now dead Egba father told them about in the United States before he died.

The history of the Vaughan family of Yorubaland and the branch still living in the United States is well documented. It's a powerful story that shows the triumph of the human spirit.

Enjoy your day.

your knowledge of the history of the slave returnees and the Egba history is very apt……my family also settled in ebutte meta aside from the Lagos island. Several around the ebutte meta axis driving down from 3mb are ancestral land belonging to my family and many streets were named after my ancestors including the famous Adekunle at Herbert Macauley road yaba. Good to know we still have few knowledgable folks like you on Nairaland who have depth knowledge of Lagos history.

But VAT is all about consumption not production and how has una life been better with the assumed high production?
Beggars everywhere in Lagos, I was shocked seeing beggars in front of EKO HOTEL AND LANDMARK AREA

are there no beggers on the street of New York and other developed cities? Does that mean your 5plot potopoto region of ndi money na water online billionaires are richer than American?? you clowns are always good at throwing logic at the window when you want to defend the failure of your region to measure up in all developmental indexes

gringory the minister of condolence visit don knack hin usual black clothe. Always prepared for the occasion the Andrew liver salt politician will soon fade into the thin air after election

Greenbirth:
That is true talk ,it is going to be between, good Nigerians and bad Nigerians , it is going to be between tribal bigot and good Nigerians. It is in this Tinubu tenure that I truly understand how Yoruba people behave, I never know that, someone from South who condemned Johnathan when fuel was 80 naira and dollars 2 something can be bold to say, give Tinubu a chance. You can imagine if is Obi that is on sit by now, they would have set everything on fire through all the news paper house that they control. It is a high time people review how to deal with other tribes in this Nigeria. They go to churches and mosques but have serious hidden agenda.

yes, it’s always the kettle calling pot black…..the same Yorubas that voted obi in Lagos, while the people that are not ethnic bigot voted no other person but their own tribesman thank God the guilible ones who fell for the gbajue have now seen the light and waiting to correct the mistake of 2023….hard lessons must be learnt

Wizardslayer:
Tinubu is the weapon fashioned against Nigeria.

Tinubu will rather die than to accept to be a one term president.

[quote] Tinubu is the weapon fashion against obi….that’s the reason why he is not the president and never will be he as still not yet recovered from the defeat of 2023, that’s why he as never kept Tinubu’s name out of his mouth even though Tinubu as never once responded to his cry like a baby begging for attention

https://politicsnigeria.com/2026/07/18/2027-election-is-between-nigerians-and-tinubus-govt-peter-obi/

gringory the attention seeking MF can’t just get Tinubu name out his mouth…..he keeps seeing Tinubu in his dreams yet his delusional supporters want us to believe Tinubu is the one scared of their inconsequential agulu packaged fraud yes the 2027 will be decided by Nigerians who are not biased and can see the progress made by this administration and will be voting for continuety and not voting in a dullard who as no track record of achievements in his past public office

Lanruze:
God bless Issac Fayose.

A true Ekiti Man to the core !

Read the story of Col. Adekunle Fajuyi and you will understand who Ekiti people are.

They have high conviction, principles and are very dependable.

Good stuff.

we hope you will maintain this energy the day he speak against your agulu well packaged fraud…….the last we checked, gringory was rejected in ekiti in 2023 and come 2027, the gbajue will lule again in Ekiti state

who cares…..who is Issac fayose in the scheme of things? If not for his brother the former governor of ekiti, who sabi if he ever exists even though he is entitled to support who ever he deemed fit…..we don’t play politics of hate and bitterness in sophisticated Sw onlike some people who want to bully and gaslight everyone to support and vote a failure Tinubu till 2031, wailers can donate their tears here

BeardedMeat:
You and your fellow 🤡🤡🤡 said more than this and worse things in 2023😅

Tinubu has no genuine pathway to victory except through scrupulous means!!!!

Tinubu is not loved but only followed for the stolen wealth he flaunts everywhere.

Even your people in SW no send am because they know...

Compared that to the organic love Peter Obi enjoys all over Nigeria!

The hardship tinubu unleashed on the land through lies and deceitful policy would catch up with him.

Subsidy is gone! But trillions have gone into subsidy from the backdoor! Ajibole guy! 😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I know you were groaning in pains while writing this stale epistle😂😂😂😂 ndi Spokespersons of Sw people😂😂😂Tinubu as no pathway to victory but your agulu well packaged fraud does😂😂😂

Bikonu nwanne, where will gringory vote be coming from except his 5plot region? Bikonu be sincere with yourself and answer the question remember he failed woefully in the north winning just 3 state out of 19 northern state and also Sw winning only Lagos and the 2regions have the highest number of registered voters leaving him with just SE/SS which votes are insignificant and he couldn’t even meet the constitutionally require minimum of 25% in 24 state of the Federation to show his popularity and spread so NwOSU, bikonu tell us where his vote will be coming from in 2027?

You can go further by putting your money where your mouth is and place a bet on him if you think we will be getting 6million vote or more in 2027 and leave Cho Cho Cho……empty noise maker😂😂😂

Zonefree:
A politician without any corruption scandal is actually a good person.

yet he appeared in Pandora papers, saved state money in a bank in which he as interest and was caught laundering cash of 250million state money Una go try hard trying to whitewash a well known packaged fraud

givedemwotowoto:
Nigeria will change by at least 50% just by electing Obi Kwankwaso.

If you do that, you have successfully eliminated at least 50% of corrupt politicians siphoning up to 80% of Nigeria’s money currently.

yes, just as he changed tiny Anambala to dubia that his people were praising him during his 8yrs of failure😂😂😂 just Dey play

SeeWahala:
i believe UAE & Saudi Arabia too is in Asia 🤗

Do you also have a 'screenshot' of their own Inmate list for drug related crimes and offences? 🤔

Just for research purposes only of course 😏

why not give us the list yourself?? Attest we all know that of Asia and other part of the world

SeeWahala:
The only tribe to do this via business is the Igbo 🤗

The others would need you to soil your names in politics before this type of settlement can ever come 🥺




Hmm, I see where your mind is going, what an idea 🤔

BUT

Is that why the country's economy has been on a downward spiral ever since we (the igbos) unknowingly 'agreed' to this your request? 🧐

yes you are right. They are the only people that are deveroping Asian prisons and everywhere else

Didi2d:
Omo! Tinubu can never please this people. Even if Tinubu put gold for their street, the hatred don dey their mind already.
Why?
You guys forget that the president can also stall the project by making just one phone call, even as una say no be him start the project

they called children of hate and perdition for a reason……the only way they can ever be happy is if obi is handed the presidency without election because obi can never win a national election

BeardedMeat:
Over 6m votes and counting. Stop exposing your sense less nessness.

Arindin, shabi the 6million vote and counting is still stored somewhere and waiting to be added in 2027? we wait to see how your obi will repeat that feat in 2027……you clowns don’t really know the damage you have caused your agulu well packaged fraud because we still wait to see where obi vote will be coming from in 2027 aside from his 5plot region

Princedapace:
hahahaahaha, this is becoming embarrassing
Una go explain tire, where evidences?

muumu, mgbeke feeling funky…..who needs your validation about the unfortunate event? The most important thing is that the kidnapped victims are back home safe to the shame of enemies of Nigeria
