Ok. I mentioned Buhari because I want you to see how things were before Buhari came in.

He really tried in the Agricultural Sector. He came up with grow what you eat and eat what you grow. Fertiliser plants have really sprang up so also rice mills. I think before now we are the largest importer of rice from Thailand (1st position) but now we are down down below or not even in the rating anymore. You know Agriculture is also a means of foreign exchange.

Infrastructure too. He did well here too.

Social Investment Programme. He did very well here too especially when Osinbajo was the handling it.

These are the few I can remember for now.

How much have you been buying rice before and now? Who are the beneficiaries?

Buhari offered nothing. Even the bridges and rail lines were borrowed money, something any fool can do.

Olowunl01:
Thanks Larride for putting the blame squarely on whom it lies - Buhari.

People should stop trying to whitewash nonsense; Buhari DSS was hounding Buhari CBN governor in the midst of implementing people impacting policy, he did nothing.

This is Buhari F up, simple nobody should try to exonerate him, haba even prior to Tinubu statement, we knew mplementation has become problematic; all it required was him saying am suspending this eod.

It is this silly attitude of ours that make these politicians get away with murder, how can the country get better when we keep making silly excuses and keep failing to hold them to account.

I can't believe someone is still up here shouting Sai Baba with his full chest, after almost 8years of mess, SMH. Still waiting to hear Buhari leadership qualities..

It's a personal agenda for Buhari against Tinubu but we (the other Nigerians) are taking the positives.

Those bullion vans must be wasted. No Ghana must go politics in 2023. This is not APC primaries.

A001:
My position about God is agnostic.

Meaning you believe in the existence of God but cannot say beyond that?

mostob:
RFB??

Right Full Back

Jodera:
Yeah... I also believe the Zinchenko roaming to all area of Midfield is something they worked on expertly during the WC break cos it became very very frequent post world cup. Also White not making that overlapping runs ia also noticeable post world cup so I feel it's tactical plans to compensate for Zinchenko drifts into midfield as Gabriel will cover up for Zinny while Ben will become conservative so that we won't be too open to counter (something like 3 at the back).

I would also prefer Tomi to come in for White. White have been off form and even Arteta is noticing it with the last 2 matches he's been subbed. He'll also bring that attacking width naturally that White doesn't frequently do.

Let's just see what Arteta will come up with sha

There ought to be some form of balance especially if we are chasing the game. Either we play with a back two or Partey drops into defense when the RB overlaps.

The basic point is to not allow Saka to be double marked.

A001:
Your god can become whatever he wants. That's his business, not mine.

I stand with you. If you have a god I will like to know.

A001:
Learn what? The human-like traits of your god are clear for all to see in the Bible; hence he's a human-god.

Indeed God in the person of Jesus was a human-god in the greatest revealation of God to man, in human form.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Fully man and also fully God. Why did God become man? To reach out to us in the greatest expression of love. He became us.

Jodera:
Zinchenko drifting infield and Xhaka not making that overlapping runs to help Martinelli might be making Martinelli's case harder.

He's still not daring enough in his dribbles unlike Pre-Wc but he's mostly lacking support too. Even White recently hardly makes overlapping runs unlike Pre-Wc

I just hope Arteta comes up with something to help out on our wings

Yes and exactly.

Teams are beginning to see us as leading contenders especially following our win over both Spurs and United, and now that Man City has lost to both teams.

Most of the teams we will face would gladly play for a draw and so they will want to sit back and defend or to stifle our attack.

But let me just trust Arteta's tactical mind.

Like you said, Xhaka should be willing to do the overlap on the LW. That's how we got our equaliser against Man United. At this point, Tomi should be preferred at RFB. What do you think?

BlueRayDick:
I'm getting feelers they will extend it. As we speak, Bubu is in a meeting with the governors. They will most likely extend it as it stands

Extending it will only stretch the suffering. CBN already has over 75% of the old notes. They won't release new ones unless they are sure the old notes will no longer be legal tender.

How is it that APC government implemented a policy, and it's same APC alone that are complaining about it, whereas other opposition are in support. They are mad.

Itsrm:
Obviously. It was the party that took the case to the supreme Court.

Politics in Nigeria is something else

They agreed he had a case, but that since he was alleging fraud he should not have used originating summons and should have brought witnesses. Then they struck off the case and off goes justice out of the window.

Itsrm:
Turns out that there's a small loophole with that law. That same law further defines who a candidate is in another subsection and by that definition, Lawan was an aspirant. The law only said candidates cannot contest for more than one elective position. Lawan was only an aspirant at the time and not a candidate.

I think they deliberately sidelined Machina. Lawan- was the higher bidder.

larride:
Yes he did. Another primary was conducted on June 9 which INEC monitored also. Before the second primary, APC NWC wrote to INEC that they had canceled the first primary that produced Machina.

Machina refused to participate in the second primary saying he won the first primary fair and square and that the NWC had no reason to cancel it. That I believe should have been the basis of his trail.

No.

INEC said they did not monitor the second primary. That was why INEC refused to change Machine's name.

One of the lessons to learn is that teams will be aiming to stop us especially from the wings as they know it's where our strength lies.

Arteta and the lads should come up with a plan be in case that happens. I have noticed recently how two players are asked to mark Saka whenever he gets the boy because they know he will always succeed one on one.

Jodera:
Well, I believe it'll get better with the competition.
I'm just glad that we've players that can get us over the lines now compared to last season.

With the little rest, I believe Partey will come back with a bang against Brentford

The boys will be wondering how and why the list to bottom club Everton.

This humbling experience should spur them on to the title finish.

BlueRayDick:
I doubt they will. Lawan just needs to spend part of the billions in his war chest and he will trounce the PDP ticket holder.

If they vote him for peanuts na their wahala.

Praktikals:
Peter Obi was at the palace of the Emir of Ilorin but was forced to remove his shoes. We all know that the same treatment cannot be given to Atiku or The Jagaban.

Have you thought if he removed his shoes on his own as a mark of respect?

Peter Obi respected the traditional institution but Tinubu and Atiku disrespected it.

BlueRayDick:
So I've not been able to get fulls details of the Lawan-Machina case , but I got the excerpt above from Punch Newspaper's reporting of the judgement and Machina's camp reaction.

As I guessed the Supreme Court in its usual manner has used technicality deny a man who won an election(primary election in this case) what rightfully belongs to him.

Machina obtained senatorial nomination form, contested in the primary election and won. Then his party APC at the die minute submitted the name of Lawan as their candidate for the Senatorial election despite Lawan not participating in the primary election.

Machina then goes to court and claimed that APC fraudulently substituted his name for Lawan's despite the latter not participating in the primary elections. Do you know what the supreme court did?

The Supreme court in it's lead judgement knocked off Machina's case on the premise that if Machina claims his name was fraudulently substituted, then he should've called witnesses to prove the allegation of fraud instead of only filling originating summons. ( For educational purposes, this is what originating summons means: Originating Summons is one of the ways of commencing action in courts. An action commenced in this manner presupposes that the facts are not in dispute, and what is being asked for is interpretation of a document or law.)

Summary of all this is that the case was knocked off on technicality basis. The danger of this kind of precedents is that u can get away with anything in Nigeria provided ur lawyer can persuade the Supreme court to knock off a case against u on technicality basis.

This is the usual way of subversion of justice in the courts. A murderer walks away freely even when the judge knows he commited the crime.

I hope Yobe people will see Lawan for what he represents and vote him out. Power belongs to the people. Machina should decamp.

BlueRayDick:
There's everything wrong in appointing Ur goons to positions. It leads to conflict of interest irrespective of whether they are qualified for that post or not.

Nepotism will always make u lower the bar for that family member and this will always affect the morale of others who aren't related to u but work with u. (Especiay if it's not a family business u are running)

Yes. There's a reason why many companies don't allow two people from the same family. Some demand that one person must resign if two colleagues marry each other.

The point is conflict of interest. 👍🏽

OasisX:


Choose and vote wisely.

#NigeriaDecides2023

My brother all of them have good plans. The question is who can you trust? We know the plans Buhari gave us during the last elections.

Jodera:
I think Partey was removed for precaution so as not to exacerbate it since he was really struggling and since Arteta likes Jorginho (coupled with experience), he decided to give Partey a breather.

I think he'll be very very fit and available against Brentford

It may also be that Arteta wanted to create a competition between the two, to get the best out of Partey. Same as Martinelli. Same as White. It can only get better.

Jodera:
I remember when we played against Leicester (in Feb 2016). They were topping the league with 5 points with us being 2nd.
We won the game 2-1 and cut it down to 2 points but the loss didn't deter them. The still went on a winning spree and eventually they won the league while our 2 points difference turned to 10points.

When we lost against Everton unfortunately, most of our prayers here was that Tottenham should beat Man city (even though we all had the faintest of hope that it might happen). Now that it has happened, instead of us to be happy that our 5points is still intact (instead of a possible 2points), instead we start wailing about the "8 points" we initially didn't have and never had.

I mean, It would have even being understood If we played after the Man city loss and not before it.

C'mon guys!!.

Let's believe in this boys and the team!

You just nailed it. 👍🏽

It's only Arsenal that has won the league without losing a game. Losing to Everton does not mean it's over. It means we have to restrategise and avoid complacency.

This team and their manager are the best in the league. They will work on whatever happened on Saturday and go on another winning run

Roland17:
Coming into this season, my goal for this team was to make the top 4. However, we can not pretend like we are not positioned for the title race. Considering the dynamics of other teams, this season presents the best opportunity for us to win a title in 20 years. With the financial pull and depth of City/ Chelsea, United and Liverpool, we may end up fighting for top 4 in the coming seasons if we don't take advantage of the situation we find ourselves. In my personal life, when I set a goal, I am flexible enough to adapt and take advantage of a higher goal that presents itself while pursuing the original goal.

When Leicester City won the league in 2015/2016, they did not go into that season with the goal of winning the league. I don't think they thought top 4 was even possible. However, as the season progressed, results starting falling in their favor and they soon realized that they were in the title race. They buckled down and won the league because they know that opportunity may never avail itself again. Last season, we were positioned to make the top 4, despite the goal being top 6. We had numerous opportunities on a platter to finish 4th but we blew every one of them and to me that was quite disappointing. We were content with finishing outside the top 4, afterall, top 6 was the goal.

Here we are again, with an opportunity to win the league but some of us are just too comfortable with the barest minimum because the goal is top 4! It has been 20 years since we won the league and some of you are fine with making top 4? Because in your heart, we will beat City/ Chelsea/ United in the future to the league? Chelsea are a good coach away from being dominant again, City will always be favorites, United have the pocket and a coach who looks like he is getting it together and while Liverpool have strayed, they can always get it back together. We should tell ourselves the truth. If we don't go for it now, we may just become perennial top 4 contenders again.

While I am not of the extreme view that he should be fired if we fail to win the league, I think questions need to be asked because it is becoming a pattern. THIS MIGHT BE OUR BEST CHANCE IN YEARS TO COME, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!

#COYG

Are we not taking advantage of the situation? Is it because we lost on Saturday? Or is it because we no longer trust Arteta? Which one?

nihilistjnr:
All the other screenshots posted here too are banter and good messages

Mtchew!

nihilistjnr:
Who were yoy responding to when you CREATED this thread to call yoruba people cowards?

https://www.nairaland.com/6632964/oduduwa-republic-see-what-oba

Like people have said here, it's clearly banter because I was not in support of the Oba of Illorin bowing to the Emir. My post clearly stated they should stand up . It's a good message.

DontBullshitMe:
The idiot thinks I'm an APC supporter.

The population of the country is growing astronomically, oil price is not rising, revenue is stagnant but subsidy remains.

You don't have to be a prophet to know. The signs are clear.

It's more of a case of mismanagement of resources than oversubsidy.

Oil barrels are missing daily in millions, NNPC cannot give account of their revenue, political leaders living lavished lives while being comfortable with 30k min wage. There's bound to be some reactions.

The poverty level is already high, the government has to alleviate poverty first before we begin to discuss whether Nigerians are over subsidised.

Itsrm:


This thread is a stress relief. Who would have thought that spy himself who intially came out as sanctimonious also had skeletons in his cupboard.

Now that it has also been established that we are all tribalists one way or another, hopefully, we can now move away from all of it and go back to having meaningful and fruitful conversations.

And thank you, I don dey okay now

Firstly let me thank God that your wife is safe.

Go through all the things he posted, I have never wished ill on any person because of his tribe. I can call out leaders including those of my tribe as cowards or slaves (that's the usual word I use).

nihilistjnr:
Which post did I edit?

Abi are you insane?

https://www.nairaland.com/3842447/2016-internally-generated-revenue-geo-political#57618527

Whatever you quoted was in response to bigots like you.

By the way, I have even called Igbos and their leaders with bad attitude slaves. It's not restricted to any particular tribe.

I challenge you to dig those up for me.

nihilistjnr:
This post shows you were a tribal bigot 5+ years ago. If you have changed today just say it.



Later you will come and tell us how there's a Yoruba guy working for you, blah blah, when you believe the only thing his ancestors contributed to Nigeria is their value as human chattel.

Bruv, it is patently clear what you and your fellow clowns are doing, and that's why your boss is now begging for public sympathy now that everyone sees through him.

I don't believe you are also a coward.

Why editing my posts? Why didn't you do a screenshot so that everyone will get the whole picture?

You dey fall hand. If you can't cope just walk away.

post=120671006:
There will be large turnout of voters in Eastern region, with what I saw last week I visited Onitsha majority of them hardly vote during election, many of them have gotten their PVCs, I believe incoming days INEC will release the figures of PCS collected you will notice increase in South-east, and church also encouraged them, it became a mandatory message in all churches, I can also tell you that proposing Sit at home by Simon Ekpa and his group will not work, if you noticed Obi's rally in the East especially Aba, Ebonyi and Imo then you know Simon Ekpa is alone voice in the wilderness, remember he started to test his power during Obidient rally in the east, he announced no moment in Imo with all his threats, the rally held and was very massive same in Aba, Onitsha, Enugu and others, our people are determined to change the narrative.

this is my prediction on states Peter Obi will win and states he will get required 25% which by law is needed in 24 states before one can be declare president

Peter Obi will win in these states

1,Rivers 81%
2,Akwa Ibom 75%
3,Cross River 79%
4,Delta 70%
5,Edo 85%
6, Bayelsa 73%
7, Anambra 95%
8,Enugu 95%
9, Imo 95%
10, Abia 95
11, Ebonyi 94%
12, Lagos 45%
13 Abuja 65%
14 Benue 67%
15,Plateau 62%
16, Ondo 45% against APC and PDP

*Remaining state he will get 25% and above
17, Nassarawa he might win or get more than required votes here
18, Taraba Obi will get more than required votes in Taraba state
19, Kaduna 25%
20, Bauchi 25%
21, Oyo 25%
22, Adamawa 25%

These are states I can predict, states to watch are Kogi, Gombe, Ogun, NIger, Kano, Obi need to push more aggressive underground work in these states before election.
Nlpfmod

Ekiti will deliver more votes for PO than Ondo.

iamoyindamola:
Will that change anything?

Shut up

Tumblr:
LMAO 😂

Why should he go?!

Leave children with emotional instability

nihilistjnr:
He's posting screenshots from 10+ years ago during election season where an Igbo candidate js running for presidency.

An Igbo man whom he actually wished death on during his tenure as Governor.

Meanwhile, in that same time period, the same clown is on record describing Chris Ngige as a Yoruba bastard. He had since questioned an Igbo man's paternity here based on his political choices etc.

Even Steven Wonder can see through the shenanigans to see exactly what that clown is doing...If you cannot see it, then you are cut from the same cloth.

The posts show that you were a tribal bigot 10+ years ago. If you have changed today just say it.
