Bendel insurance have Efe Ubuomo in the team,I think he is an Edo guy

Efe is a name answered by both Edo and Delta State but Ubuomo is a Delta name. If an Edo name starts with letter U, it's never followed with letter B

guobe:
Line up of Bendel insurance fc

People might call it tribalism but I don't really care. Going through this squad list, there is no Edo player in the whole Bendel Insurance of Benin squad. It's unacceptable. This same Edo State has produced Aghahowa, Osaze, Yakubu, Victor Moses, Ighalo, Osimhen and now Illenikhena

There is no lie here
The last time we experienced practical governance and infrastructure revolution in Edo State was during the tenure of Oshiomhole as governor. Any good roads you see in Benin today, 90% were constructed by Oshiomhole. Obaseki, just like Lucky Igbinedion wasted a whole 8 years. The few roads that Obaseki constructed in 8 years became worse even before he left as governor.
Now come Okpebholo, seems to be starting afresh again but he has constructed very few roads, but spread across the 3 senatorial districts, mostly in his hometown, Udomi in Irrua. Okpebholo can do far better than he is doing. As rightly said by cubana, even the so called GRA is in a mess, like a glorified village. Sad!

helinues:
What do you know about North politics?

Aboki nor vex
You guys are the ones over rating these northern politicians and that's why they always see themselves as god.
Since 1999, no northerner has become president by their own powers, it has always been because of the supports of the south west. If not for Obasanjo, Yar Adua wouldn't have become president, Odili would have. If not for Tinubu, Buhari wouldn't have become president, Goodluck would have won

helinues:
And you are expecting Northern states to vote in support or have you not heard from Kwankwanso yesterday

Is Kwankwaso the spokesperson of the northern state governors?
So Kwankwaso would tell Bago, Kefas, Ododo, Abdulrasak, and some others not to approve it and they won't?

Akpakomiza2:
Who is Yakubu? With the appointment of Abu millionaire as coordinator of Edo north elections, the north is settled. One Thomas okosun was appointed for the central, I don't know him...
I also noticed that after the Guber polls, APC have dominated Edo polls

Yakubu, former Esan North East, Uromi local government chairman and former deputy governorship candidate to Ize Iyamu in 2016 when Ize Iyamu contested against Obaseki. He is from Uromi, very popular, loved by an average Uromi and till today he still remains the best local Government chairman Esan North East has ever produced.
And for Abu millionaire, no one is contesting the whole of Edo North with Oshiomhole. Both Abu millionaire, Tarex and others are all Oshiomhole boys.
Thomas Okosun is from Ekpoma and he is a former speaker of EDSHA. He is a grassroot politician and on the same level with Jofel and their likes.

Akpakomiza2:
Edo Central is a difficult place just like Edo south. Irrua isn't the only place in Edo central. Don't forget okpebholo lost Edo central to Asue

And don't forget it's this same Okpebholo that broke the jinx of PDP always winning every senatorial elections in esanland. The man get small grace

Akpakomiza2:
Edo Central is a difficult place just like Edo south. Irrua isn't the only place in Edo central. Don't forget okpebholo lost Edo central to Asue

He wasn't governor then and the Esans then went for Asue instead of Okpebholo. He is currently running an Esan agenda and he is massively developing Esan land. I'm from Uromi and I was at Uromi for the election on behalf of APC during the last senatorial election between Ikpea and Okojie and I can tell you that the whole of Esan land is currently under the grip of Okpebholo. The only problem in esanland currently is Yakubu who is on the ballot for senate under the NDC

Akpakomiza2:
I suspect this. Oshiomhole is Tinubu main man in SS /SE but I doubt oshiomhole can deliver Edo

Okpebholo will do whatever it takes to win Edo Central (Esan), Oshiomhole will always win Edo North (Apostle Suleiman declaring for Obi is inconsequential in Edo North) and in Edo South, Obi will still win but the margin will be minimal because Edo South leaders have seen that always supporting the opposition against the APC will always cost them and that's why they have always missed out from most federal appointments that comes to Edo State. The only way Tinubu won't win Edo State is if Okpebholo fails to win Edo Central for Tinubu. I can tell you that reality on ground, no other party exist in the whole of Irrua except the APC

Obaofaba:
Oga, Akpabio will retain his seat.

I love it when you cry.

Oshiomhole is the next senate President.
Didn't you noticed that despite his opposition and brutal speaking both to the senate President, Senate leader and even openly calling out the FG in some issues, Tinubu still appointed him to head the directorate of mobilisation?
Also, If he can deliver Edo to Tinubu in 2027, there would be no opposition to him becoming the senate President.
Lastly, Oshiomhole is the one Wike is secretly backing. They had an agreement for Oshiomhole to deliver Wike candidate in APC primary senatorial election and Wike would in turn support him as the next senate President and the Wike candidate, Ogbeide Ihama won the primary against the far more popular candidate, Ize Iyamu

SyrusdeHansome:
You'll remember what I just told you. For some time now man city were a little above average. It's only the experience of Pep Guardiola that use to guide them to the positions they usually ended up just like what Sir Alex Ferguson use to do with average players. When man city starts losing form it'll be worse than that of man utd. I'll remind you when that time comes.

I never stated otherwise. What I said was that this Man city of this season seems better than the man city of last and even past 2 season

SyrusdeHansome:
It's a one horse race. Man city will crack as time goes on.

Not this Man City. This Man city might end up unbeaten this season in the EPL. They have added enough physicality to their technical games with players like Anderson and Enzo. And Maresca is not experimenting in matches, he is using their best players in each positions

Unlike 2023 when you guys intimidated almost everyone, the same everyone now have you guys time. It's now an eye for an eye.

Racoon:
Let Peter speak directly to address all these issues. Meanwhile, it is loans that are being banded by Soludo govt, not on record he embezzled or stole Anambra State monies

Hope you know that been arrested or invited is different from been found guilty or jailed? Soludo and Obiano were never arrested, they were only invited, questioned and till today no court has ever found them guilty or sent them to jail.
As you they there, can you beat your chest that in this Nigeria, the police has never taken you to their station? Does that mean you were jailed or now an ex convict?

saintkel:
Same same debt management office said Lagos have a debt of 907 million dollars....ok Obi had 30 million...why ain't we looking at Lagos debt?

Has any governor in Lagos State since 1999, including Tinubu told you that they didn't borrowed and still not owing?
Some of us have no problem with Obi borrowing or leaving debt as Anambra governor, what we are against are his constant lies that he left no debts, salaries, pensions and arrears

ElevationD:
How do you define a saint? Which evidences are popping out please?

Can Tinubu throw such a challenge openly? If he was not confident of himself, would Obi make such a challenge? If Obi is worse than Soludo and Obiano, we still clearly know that he is far better than Tinubu.

Where is the evidence of debts please? Why did no civil servant come up after 2014 to say that Obi owed him or her? All public records and general consensus proved that civil servants were paid their salaries until the day when Obi handed over to Obiano. Did you hear Obiano complain that he inherited a civil service owed salaries by Peter Obi.

“Soludo and Obiano has never told you or anyone that they are Saints…”. And following that, you prefer that crooked people should continue to rule the affairs of the country?

Common sense dictates that you should ask why EFCC and ICPC never invited or arrested Mr. Peter Obi. Soludo and Obiano were both arrested to account for their tenures and governors of the CBN and Anambra state.

Soludo and all of you are pained that so far, nothing has been pinned on Mr. Obi. So now it is good that Mr. Obi threw that challenge. Everyone of you can use torchlights, Alfas and babalawo to search everywhere for what you did not keep. Soludo and Tinubu will be roundly and comprehensively defeated once again in Anambra state in 2027.

Please, next time don't mention Tinubu when the discussion is about Obi, they are not on the same class. You can mention Obi with Soludo, Obiano and their likes, those are his class. Or haven't you noticed that Tinubu hardly mentioned Obi? It's because he knows that Obi is a boy and a presidential candidate just like Sowore. You guys should go and advise Obi to contest for senate, Na there him level reach

DickenClarq:
My brother you also Nailed it.

Atiku will get Votes from the core North and won't get enough votes down South.

Peter Obi will get Votes down South but won't get enough votes up North.

Tinubu is the Only Candidate for now that will get Enough votes both up North and also down South, Few votes from the Middle belt it's already game over for the rest candidates.

Note: I am neither APC nor NDC nor ADC etc. I am just a neutral voter and the above is my personal observation so far.


May God help us

In all the northern states that Atiku will be winning, Tinubu will come second, in all the states Obi will be winning, Tinubu will come Second, in all the states Tinubu will be winning, Atiku and Obi will share the second positions. And unlike in 2023, Tinubu this time might win in Edo and Akwa Ibom state

Themandator:
Just let the election hold already since you now know that he is not receiving support from his home state


A million years added to the one Soludo already spent won't make him stand besides Obi in Anambra State, Igbo land and Nigeria

OBI has never used Soludo performance to help his records and campaign. It is the other way round

Don't worry, after the 2027 election this noise from you guys will stop. Let Obi come out in 2031 when the presidency will be the turn of the north and try to contest against the northern candidate and let's see if he will dare.
And for your information, when the time is right and Obi need to contest against Soludo in a presidential election, we will be supporting and voting Soludo over him

Thewrath:
The arrears dated back as far as the year 2000 under previous administrations (such as Chinwoke Mbadinuju's tenure).

There was also an unresolved legal battle of wage and allowance disputes that extended well past Obi's departure from office in March 2014.

So in summary,the debt did not start or end with obi.

Do you know that taken over a government seat is the same as taken over a company that you just bought?
Obi became governor of Anambra State and it means he was taken over both the liabilities and otherwise of Anambra State and it was his job to offset those liabilities.
If you are not aware, this same issue occurred during the time of Oshiomhole as Edo State governor. He took over unpaid salaries and arrears of serving and retired workers of Edo Line, Edo State water board, Edo Brewery, Ewu flour mills, etc. he ended up paying the workers their salaries and pensions even though he inherited such liabilities.

ElevationD:
This is very laughable.

Show us documentary evidence of debts by Obi’s administration as of the 14th of March 2014 and Soludo’s government is showing a video of that protest. What a clueless administration. No wonder he is not regarded in Anambra state. Those of us who have managed to ask others to give Soludo a chance are not ashamed of Soludo.

Was Soludo not sure of himself when he claimed that Obi never owed? Soludo’s government is not able to meet up with that simple challenge. If he likes, he can conjure, re-draw and wipe out, the records are there. Show us evidence of any wrong doing by Obi.

All the yeye strategies to get votes of out Anambra state for Tinubu, would be roundly and crushingly defeated in 2027. Soludo has not forgotten the pain of 2023, when Obi crushed him and Tinubu in Anambra state.

If Obi was so important to Anambrains, why didn't his candidate defeated Soludo in the last governorship election? Why didn't Oseleka Obazee defeated Obiano when Obiano was contesting for second term? Why has all the candidates Obi has supported since he left as governor lost their elections?

Thewrath:
All these does not mean anything,if they are serious,they should go and check the government account obi shared if he left money or not.

If there was debt,he said he signed cheques to that effect and he said the money was also there.

Obi deposited the cheque in Fidelity Bank and it was accruing interest for him 🤣🤣

PigTormentor:
I just know that sooner or later the Agulu packaged fraud will be revealed for exactly what hebis.

Have you noticed that unlike in 2023, alot of Igbos, mostly Anambra indigenes are no longer supporting Obi? Go on Facebook and Tiktok and watch how alot of them are now boldly and openly going against Obi

nedu666:
Obi did not pay. Did that stop Obiano from paying. Soludo has been there for 4 years. Why hasn't been paid. 12 years after obi left water workers are still been owed. How much is their outstanding thst 12 years of Obiano and soludo did not pay. Soludo is building a useless second airport when the first has not been 50% utilised. Why not use d money to pay them

Obaino and Soludo has never told you or anyone that they are Saints. It's Obi that has always claimed to be a saint and better than every other persons. It's now clear to all that even though Obaino and Soludo are not saints, Obi is worse than the both of them.
Also, it was Obi that without duress said on national TV that they should bring evidence of him ever owing anyone till he left as governor, now the evidence are popping out and expect more

Obi thinks this is 2023 that all his lies weren't scrutinized. He turned himself into a saint because no one cared about him then. The narrative is now different and the world now sees him for who he truly is.
But he shouldn't quit, we need him to help us with the SE votes to help neutralise Atiku northern votes

AMINDA:
In other words, you have resorted to unity begging? Can Tinubu win in Lagos of today without resorting to tribal rethorics against the Igbos? If Tinubu wanted Southern unity, his cabinet and projects should have reflected that from day one. Rather, he prioritised only Lagos. If Tinubu was that desperate for Northcentral support, why didn't he pick a Northern Christian from the Northcentral as Vice? You all said he couldn't find anyone popular enough to be Vice so how then does he intend to handover to someone from the Northcentral if they are not good enough for Vice? Continue to promise every region and their dog the presidency but na person wey no know una go fall for that one. A three-horse race is still a huge disadvantage to Tinubu if he loses Northern support because Obi will still floor him in the South. It's a little too late to beg for unity.

Hahahahahaha, unlike 2023, even if Obi wins the south against Tinubu in 2027, it will be a narrow win. I'm speaking as a Southerner from Edo State. In 2027, 90% of the votes Atiku got in Akwa Ibom State courtesy of Udom Emmanuel, the votes will now be transferred to Tinubu. In 2023, Obi won Edo Central (Esan) but in 2027 Tinubu is will Edo Central courtesy of my brother governor, Okpebholo. The fact that Atiku won't get 25% in all the 17 states in the south in 2027 should bother you. Over here in the South, the name Atiku doesn't exist, so even if Obi wins Tinubu, it's gonna be narrow. Haven't you noticed that unlike 2023, alot of Yoruba that voted for Obi has shifted to Tinubu? We are waiting to see how Atiku will become the president wining just 12 states in the NE and NW (excluding Borno) while Tinubu will narrowly come second to him in all Northern states that he will win and also come narrowly second to Obi in any state outside the SE that Obi wins.

Akpakomiza2:
How will Seyi makinde bleed votes in SW? Can kwankwaso get votes outside kano? If you don't know politics, better keep silent. Tinubu won the north west by 300k so he can afford to lose narrowly. Atiku has lost the entire south. Last time I checked, atiku is losing more grounds in north west not Tinubu

With Obi on the ballot, Atiku won't score upto 1m votes in the whole of SE, SS and SW and he will lose NC states like Kogi, Kwara, Plateau and Taraba. Let's see how Atiku can will with just votes from NW and NE.

Nice2023:
U think Nigeria is Lagos...wait and see what await u all in that useless party u are defending.

What you guys don't understand is that Tinubu is aware of the intending betrayer of his supposed Northern elites and what Tinubu is cooking mostly in the SS to make those northern votes become useless will baffle you. Without mincing words, I can beat my chest and tell you that in 2027 election, Tinubu votes from only Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Edo will be about 2m. Here in Edo State, Tinubu is wining Edo North courtesy of Oshiomhole and Edo Central courtesy of governor Okpebholo (NDC is unknown in core Esan lands like Irrua and Ubiaja). Don't think we do not know the games the northerners are playing and we choose not to be loud in countering them

AMINDA:
But you were in the other thread throwing a party and celebrating the "defection" of Elrufai's former allies to APC. Even though it was through coercion. Elrufai's allies are relevant to the APC, but Senator Bala Na'Allah and many like him are not. Continue to bury your head in the sand. Omisore was also dismissed as irrelevant until he handed Ambo and the APC's behind to them on a plate despite all the begging. We've been here before.

P.S: This is the APC gubernatorial candidate in Gombe state openly campaigning for Atiku. We will all learn politics together.

Cc: Akpakomiza2

Ko APC kake @atiku kawai zakayi inji Jamilu Gwamna Dan takarar Gwamna na Jahar Gombe.

English translation: even if you're in APC it's only Atiku you will do -Hon. Jamilu Gwamna Gombe State APC Governorship Candidate.

This is why I always tell Obi's supporters that their master doesn't understand politics. The only way Tinubu won't easily win the 2027 presidential election is if any of Atiku or Obi step down for another or any of them gets disqualified by the court and Obi will end up the highest loser. Whatever that's currently ongoing in the North, Tinubu is aware and on daily basis he is using how Goodluck lost to learn and blocking the holes. Only Tinubu can help Obi becomes president, same way he helped Buhari to become president and if the north decides to betray the S/West in 2027, Tinubu will still win but that would be the end of their relationship and we all know since 1999, no northerner has won without the help of the S/west.
If I were Obi, I would switch my support to Tinubu and in 2031, Tinubu would support me to Massively win the SE, SS, SW and North Central against any northern candidate presented by the North and let's see how the candidate can become the president in 2031 with just the NW and NE votes

I really need to ask if Atiku and his team are truly aware of what's happening in Nigeria.
Firstly they said they would open borders that were never closed and now they are talking about ASUU.
It's on record that ASUU has never had it this good since 1999 and that's the sole reason they haven't gone on strike since Tinubu became president. Students don't need to spend extra years before graduating due to ASUU strike since Tinubu became president

AndSunGorilla:
Did i say he turned us down? I didn't say that. My opinion which I am entitled to is that, I don't buy the "let me sort things out reason/excuse" my own personal interpretation which isn't a fact and which am entitled to is that he's not interested in playing for us.

You are very right and you even went too far. If he is called to play for England U21 he won't give an excuse of wanting to sort out his club career. The guy doesn't rate us and he should be left alone. Where are Ejaria and some others today?

Axel1:
I have all of these documents, everything. They asked me if the new colour that i resprayed it to, have reflected online, i mean if the colour have changed in the database and i said no that i only did affifavid and police report to back it up, and that was it.

Which state did this happened?

Axel1:
Hello nairalanders, about 6 days ago i re-sprayed my car from dark blue to white. I told the guy that normally does my car papers for me and he asked me to do an affifavid and police report, which i paid him to do.

Yesterday i was driving and the police stopped me, i showed them my complete documents and the affifavid and police report too of the "change of colour I did"

That was when he initially noticed that i have changed the car colour, he called his colleagues that are around and stopping other cars ny by the other side of the road and they took my car to the station, that the affifavid and police report that i did isn't enough to back the change of colour that i did. Please is it really possible and true that the affifavid and police report isn't enough to back up the change of colour that i did? My car is still at the station at the moment, i don't have the 250k they're requesting to bail the car, i have been pleading for 100k but they refused.

I have always maintained that some of the problems of nigerians are fear and ignorance. They are only boastful when inside their houses. Even by the police requirements, when you change your car colour, what is required of you is to go to a high court, swear to an affidavit and get a police report, stamped by the police and you are good to go.
I had almost same encounter few years back. I changed my car engine and the new engine didn't come with an engine number. When I encountered the police on the road, they checked the engine number on my paper and noticed it's not also on the engine. I told them I just changed the engine and they said I should follow them to the station. I looked at the officer that said it and told him plainly that they can't get a dime from me. He ended up asking me to buy them fuel which I did dashing them 3k.
