You won't believe Davido's mother is from Edo state o
Davido fuckup on this one abeg

I know his mother is from Edo State, even his baby mama Sophie is also from Edo State. He is far, so it might take time for hands to touch him but you see that his P.A, Isreal? That one know say he won't dare step his foots in Edo State again, else him go collect same way Obaseki brother was openly beating and disgraced

Ebenezer2021:
Davido you're useless.
You were busy calling a sitting governor olodo while your state has been hijacked

Some of us that are from Edo State and even same senatorial district with the governor doesn't have his time yet. When the time is right, both him and that his stupid P.A that it was the same Edo State governor that supported him financially in burying his father recently will be dealt with. Same way Obaseki and most of his employees can't step their footsteps in Edo State right now is the same way Isreal (Davido PA) will be openly dealt with if he dare step his foots in Edo State. Isreal has stupidly indirectly disowned himself from his own state and it will be so till Okpebholo completes his 8 years

Atiku doesn't have to win in the first round. He just has to deny Tinubu those Northern votes. Unlike Obasanjo and Jonathan, Tinubu doesn't have a Southern + Middlebelt alliance to back him up.

We're most likely going to have a rerun.

Una they think sha
Una brain they work at all?

I was just saying this to those claiming that Makinde will split Tinubu’s votes in the SW. Atiku got over 180,000 votes in Oyo State in 2023, while Obi got over 91,000. Can they get those figures in 2027 with Makinde on the ballot? Nope, Makinde will get those votes, he will rather split the opposition votes.
Makinde as Atiku’s VP would have hurt Tinubu.
From the Super Eagles thread to the politics section? Nice, bro.

And to your submission, alot of people rely on emotions in politics and politics doesn't work that way. 99% of Atiku votes in Oyo State in 2023 will now go to Makinde but APC voters will still vote Tinubu

Let me just react to your last statement 😁
I'm more of a political person that a sport person. To me it has always been political contributions and other things are secondary. I'm a card carrying member practising politician and it has been so for close to 2 decades 😅

EElopa:
Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan were not angels but they were nationalist in their thinking. Nigeria since 2015 have been ran from a regional tribalistic point of view and the result are showing up in every aspect of the society from economic to sports. PDP despite it shortcomings was a party founded by nationalist. APC is combination of regional southwest party ACN and Northern regional Party CPC. Since they came to power in 2015 anyone with a brain cell can see that they are not nationalist in governance This country need a total reset.

Oga, I didn't mentioned the names you mentioned here aren't nationalist, I only said there is no politician in Nigeria that has held public office since 1999 either dead or alive that isn't corrupt. I'm a practising politician myself and I have been since 2007, so I'm speaking from experience.
And for the nationalistic perspective, I think it was Buhari that killed Nigeria and not really APC. APC governors in some states has been awesome, e.g my Edo State. So it's more of an individual thing and not necessarily political party because all political parties in Nigeria are the same, zero ideology and even if the party does, their elected officers doesn't follow the party ideology. Even the spokeman of ADC recently stated in a viral interview that when Obi decamped to the ADC, he never for once knew ADC manifesto. Otti that's doing excellent well in Abia State isn't doing well because of LP manifesto, same with MBA in Enugu, Bago in Niger, Okpebholo in Edo, etc

AMINDA:
Incarceration has now become a word we bandy around against political opponents who refuse to bend the knee. That's the legacy of the NADECO democracy. Tinubu himself never supported Obasanjo for 8 years but no one Incarcerated him. Bring the Incarceration on. Seyi Makinde is not a coward. Why should Makinde support Tinubu? Are they in the same political party? Does Seyi Makinde owe Tinubu anything? Kwankwaso left the APC and contested against Buhari, but Buhari never incarcerated him. Buhari is a better democrat than Tinubu will ever hope to be.

I hope after the 2027 election and Atiku got beating like a political newbie we will stop reading these jargons from you?

opes:
Obi also won the South in 2023, but he never became president. APC has structures that are spread across the country.
Atiku will win the Northern votes, with APC coming second. Don’t expect Obi to win the Southern votes as he did in 2023, the dynamics have changed. APC’s presence in the Southeast now ain't necessarily about winning the region, but about preventing the kind of irregularities witnessed in 2023 from being repeated in 2027.

Obi won’t get many votes in the North, just as Atiku will be a distant third in the South.
The Makinde presidency will even compete with Obi for the dissenting votes of Southerners who are opposed to APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

I agree to everything you said except the Makinde narrative. Makinde won't score upto 200k votes in 2027 election and 99% of the votes will come from Oyo State. In the whole of SE and SE, nobody knows Makinde and in other states of the SW, they are seeing him as a spoiler to Tinubu presidency in Oyo State. And I make bold to say, if Makinde fails to step down and support Tinubu, he will be incarcerated all through Tinubu second term and majority of Yorubas will never forgive him, same way they are treating Osibanjo for daring to contest APC primary with Tinubu

olyrayy:
Yes. They didn't campaign vigorously for him. But they also didn't support Atiku. So, the chips fell where they may. Now that Buhari is dead, the North might make Atiku their champion.

Thank God you said the north "Might".
Firstly never forget Atiku has never for once had cult followership in the North, he only had supporters that can change their minds against him with goodies facing them.
Secondly, only northern votes can never make anyone president, Buhari showed it. And Atiku can not get upto 2m votes in the whole of SS,SE,SW and NC. So how will the north give him 8-10m votes to win the 2027 election?
In my Edo State, ADC as a party doesn't exist, infact NDC doesn't exist in the whole Edo North and Edo Central (Except for Uromi, Esan North Esan because of NDC senatorial Candidate for Edo Central, Yakubu who is very popular in Uromi because of his performance when he was the LGA Chairman).

AMINDA:
Tinubu is currently an incumbent. If he couldn't find a popular Northern Christian to pick as Vice in order to win, how does he then intend to impose a Northern christian to succeed him in 2031 when he will be on his way out of power (assuming he wins). If he can't do it now, why later? Answer the simple question. I put it to you that it's his classic way of deception. He just need them to vote for his muslim-muslim ticket. That's all.

It wasn't about picking a northern Christian politician to deputise him, it's about betraying Shettima who has been loyal to him and his government and he wasn't ready to betray Shettima. Tinubu is not known to be a political betrayal, unlike Obi and Atiku that cares only about their ambitions. Even me would have been disappointed in him if he had dropped Shettima for anyone else. Loyalty doesn't come easy in politics and Shettima have it. Imagine a VP that's even loyal to his state governor.

Napoleon55:
They should not have joined what supposed to be three countries into one.

The common people are too busy fighting for what to eat,because they are crippled by hardship and poverty.

But there are few who can actually lead this country out of this mess,but they can never be allowed to rule by those powerful corrupt people in control.

There is no politician in Nigeria that has held a political position since 1999 till now that isn't corrupt. Absolutely none! Just that some are less corrupt that others

etebefia:
70% coming from the east isn't the case, how was the coach appointed?

This is exactly the message I was indirectly trying to pass. The fault is not mostly where the players were selected from rather the useless coaches appointed to coach the players. That was how the then NFF were forcing Paul Aigbogun on us until they got enough of him. These Falcons and flying Eagles coaches will still pass. They did same with Ladan Bosso at a time and the man even boasted he would one day coach the SE

olyrayy:
Damn. Had no idea Atiku swept through the North like this, even with Buhari alive.

But Tinubu did come a close second in most Northern states. Also, looking at the results in Zamfara, which was the only state that Tinubu won a commanding majority, I can see why he refuses to touch Mattawale.

Buhari was alive but him and his cronies never supported or voted Tinubu

AMINDA:
Northern Christians are not falling for the gaslighting any longer. APC lackeys claimed Tinubu went ahead with Muslim-Muslim ticket because he couldn't find a Christian Northerner popular enough to be his Vice after teasing them with the ticket for years in order to buy their support. Now, they are claiming Tinubu will handover to a Christian Northerner. This is just them trying to eat from two pots at the same time. If Northern Christians aren't good enough for Vice, is it for the main seat that Tinubu will now find someone popular enough to handover to?

Prior to the 2007 election, Yar adua wasn't popular but with the support of the ruling party then, he won the election and even beat popular Buhari in Katsina state. You just don't understand the power of incumbency and ruling party in a national elections. With a Northern Christian on the ballot under the ruling party, he may likely win all the 6 NC states, win the SW with support of Tinubu, win most of the SS states and score okay in the 5 SE states. Not forgetting Christian votes in the core northern states

olajizz01:
25 what? even I don't envisaged him haveing more than 10 percent in any of the southern states,where is the structure .

What these northern politicians haven't realised is that they have all lost values in the south. Imagine Atiku doesn't score upto 1m votes in the whole of the 17 Southern States in 2027 election. How he go take win? Same way Obi will do badly in states like Kebbi, Yobe, Zamfara, Jigawa and Sokoto

Wickedfacts:
Someone from the NC will be the Presidential candidate in 2031.
Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau.
I have been saying it since.
They will pair him with a candidate from the SE.

APC won't pair him with any SE candidate, the person will be paired with someone from the South West or the South South and when next the position returns to the south, APC will give the ticket to a South Easterner.

aariwa:
If Tinubu try to rig this election he go hear o . 2027 can never be like 2023

So Obi that scored about 98% of votes in the SE in 2023 or Kwankwaso that children were openly voting for in Kano didn't rigged? Were you blind to videos of people lining up voters and forcing all of them to vote for LP in the east in 2023 election?
Again, if Tinubu rigged the 2023 election, how come he didn't scored 25% of votes in 4 of the 5 SE states in 2023? Try they use your brain 🧠 next time

helinues:
That's why I advised them to be careful because NW presidency vs NC presidency, that's automatically secured votes for NC in Southern part of Nigeria.

NE and NW votes can't win jack

With the way Tinubu has been treating NC region and politicians, I won't be surprise if Tinubu surprises us all in 2031 by given the APC presidential primary ticket to the NC or the minister of defence from Southern Kaduna

yaroyaro619:
APC watching Obi and Kwankwaso moving to Aso Rock Villa

Oga carry this nonsense comot for here jor

Sleekfingers:
Kwankwaso is already the chosen one to become the president in 2031.
But the NE and NC can give it shot too. But mathematically Kwankwaso stands out .

Who choose Kwankwaso? Kwankwaso can only become the president in 2031 if he contest under the ruling party, else it will just be the usual for him, win Kano and lose woefully in other regions.
Most of the northern elites are currently angry with him for abandoning Atiku to pitch tent with Obi and indirectly reducing Atiku vote and in 2031, the northern elites won't support him wholeheartedly because of what he has done to Atiku.
And for Tinubu and the ruling party, he will not throw others under the bus just to accommodate Kwankwaso and hand over the APC ticket to him. Tinubu showed it recently in Osun State when he refused to through Oyetola under the bus by accepting Adeleke defection to the APC.

yemre:
Very possible because he might end up winning the primaries and eventually become the president!

APC can and will never give Kwankwaso it's presidential ticket in 2031.

Sheuns:
Winning the northern states alone won’t be good for Atiku if he doesn’t win with wide enough margins.

He needs bigger margins and I hope he gets them.

Tinubu just has to go.

I'm ready to bet with anyone, there is no State in the whole of South West, South South (including Rivers) and South East that Atiku will score 25% in 2027 election

DomPerignon:
Nairaland is turning into Zik's West African Patriot newspaper that was aggressively pushing Ibo supremacist ideology by amplifying every little small achievements while ignoring achievements of other nationalities.

I have no argument about Nairaland turning into patriot newspaper but Peter Dunia is not Igbo, he is from Edo State, etsako

Haydens:
Simply put"IGBO AMAKA" .

Proudly 100 karat Igbo boy

Is Peter Dunia an Igbo man? Do you even know him or heard of him before? The man is from Edo State, Auchi and etsako by tribe

Papi85:
The coach of this u20 team no dey talk to dem? See reckless shots from impossible angle 🤦‍♀️

Nor be who knows wetin to talk go talk?

Franktom247:
If this happens to be true then I don't think anything will change because I don't think the government is willing to invest in football massively

Government doesn't need to directly invest in sport. With the right and trusted management, private companies will invest. Imagine someone like Elumelu becoming the NFF president, his personality alone would make private companies start trooping to invest with them

etebefia:
That's what nepotism and Emilokansm can do.

70% of this current falcons squad are from the East. Are the Falcons doing any better?

Subzero047:
Bro na Nigeria you dey

Na Nigeria I they oh and trust me, these failings will affect Gusau and his gang.
The presidency is already interested in the upcoming NFF election and they won't be backing him, same way they got involved in the recently concluded Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) election and their preferred candidate won. Tinubu nor be Buhari that never knew what was happening around him

I pray both the Falcons and the flying Eagles losses so that the coaches won't only be sacked, it will also affect the election of the ineffective NFF chairman and board
