Opolopoopolonio:
You are singing another tune entirely...

So Umahi now believes he stands a chance abi

No, I was not. The man would do what was best for him. If he endorsed someone else it's because it's best for him and if he chooses to play to the end, it's because there is something there for him. I just did not understand the moral in saying it's wrong to endorse someone in an election you know you would lose.

Opolopoopolonio:
Just in.

Dave Umahi has seen the latest handwriting on the wall and is more stepping down for Lawan...

Piggiddiootts amaka

My guy, he would only do what's best for himself. In the end, These big men would continue to have their fun while the masses keep fighting tribal wars on nairaland. One thing you don't know, when these big men are sharing money, the is no Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. It's we the ordinary Nigerians that enjoy the tribal wars.

Opolopoopolonio:
He wouldn't. But at least, he would have made a statement and assessed his electoral value on the national stage

You are wrong my brother. Can you remember who came second or 3rd or 4th in the last presidential primary? No one remembers them, They make zero statements. He stepped down because he has already assessed his value, he did not need to wait for the last day.

yetunsbay:
Hin dey craze

maybe

Opolopoopolonio:
But it's a fatal error now as the northerners are withdrawing from the race

Are you saying he would have won it?

Opolopoopolonio:
Tinubu never declared interested in the race ab initio on both occasions. So there was no need stepping down for anybody

I get that but stepping down is a path of politics we see it all the time. In 2008, Biden stepped down during the primaries for Obama, today he is the leader of the free world. You step down when you see that you cant win and you want to remain relevant in the system.

yetunsbay:
zero or not he should have stood his ground till the end. Did he miscalculated before dahsing out 100milli

|What is the purpose of standing his ground to the end? Personally, I believe he miscalculated before dashing out 100 million.

Opolopoopolonio:
You just have to start from somewhere

Nobody will give you presidency on a platter

Yes you have to strat from somewhere that does not mean you need to lose disgracefully in a primary. Endorsing another person could be a wiser route to take. Don't forget Tinubu did not contest in 2015 and 2019, rather he endorsed Buhari. There is nothing wrong with knowing when to fold up.

yetunsbay:
no one should shout marginalisation ooo

We both know he stood zero chance of winning so what is your point?

Opolopoopolonio:
Even if he doesn't win, he can make a huge statement.

We both know he would not have made any statement. He would not have gotten 10% of the votes. Or are we trying to fool ourselves?

Penguin2:
I thought Umahi was serious… didn’t know he’s this foolish, if the news is true.

You defected from PDP because you felt the party wouldn’t zone to southeast. Now you are stepping down for a northerner.

See this big fool

How is he a fool for stepping down from a primary we both know he wouldn't win?

fredoooooo:
He want no vote because of Buhari , he wants votes because of the politics he's played till date.
Tó whom much is given much is expected , he's not forcing anyone to vote for him.

Of course, he does not have the power to force anyone to vote for him. The problem with Nigeria is that we reward people for politics and not for good governance. His politics gave us Buhari, that cant be good

[quote author=gaby post=113406635]Capable and amazing God.

The devil came late to the party, for sure.

A good and a great man.

God isn't done using him just yet.

Only God knows what the wagging tongues would have been on about by now...

For those saying it was overspeeding, heck no, it wasn't. A truck swerved abruptly onto his lane which caused him to take the hit on the shoulder instead...[/quote
Are you a praise singer?

fredoooooo:
No ... he want us to vote for him base on his achievements in politics .
If you're not then you have your vote I the next election , use it .
They waited and strategize for years before PDP was uprooted too .
Politics isn't and emotional game

He is the one being emotional. he wants votes because he helped Buhari. like you said, politics should not work like that, emotions are not needed. Helping Buhari is a negative achievement.

fredoooooo:
Where's the lie ? The South East hate Ashiwaju today just for that fact ..

He wants us to vote for him because he made Buhari president. Does he think we are enjoying Buhari's leadership?

Candidlady:
God just showed you a big sign

No, I copied and paste it

It come easy, I am a natural writer and typer...but I hate speaking much. As long as I am not busy with work, I can type and write all day long.

go for you

humberjade:
1. I don't know if you have heard of the words, 'witnesses and evidences'. If these two work overwhelmingly against you on any case, you are screwed.

2. Her Australian team mates said she said it. Likewise, the victims of her racial slur, Tigress players, corroborated same. With video evidence of her actions on the day; elbowing one and slapping another Nigerian player.

3. So think, if she isn't guilty of saying what she said in the first place, why did she apologise to the Nigerian basket ballers she racially abused? Read her statement again and see how she contradicted herself. She said she walked away after an infraction with a Nigerian player, meaning, she calling herself the victim, yet she later apologised. For what exactly?

4. I don't know if you practice any religion or passed through school at all, but I guess you don't believe anything from the Holy books and your text books since you weren't there when those events happened.

I usually ignore people like you, but I just feel it is imperative to help you reason better. I know you will jump on my neck. But no ish

I don't just listen to allegations, I read deeply before making comments, and when I make a mistake, I own up. You can read further for your own digest...

Ciao

wait you actually wrote this long post?

humberjade:
So her Australian team mates and the Tigress players would gang up against her? Try to read widely on issues before you make comments

Where you there, trying to form smart

humberjade:
This one is super confused...she want to be treated with respect by a predominantly white team because of the colour of her skin, yet she's looking down on those she shares skin colour and ancestral history with? Twisted hypocritic!

were you there?

Ladies! This is all shades of wrong. No self-respect. This girl doesn't have parents If I was your sis, I wouldn't allow her. They are not even married.

But wait oh, a room and parlor self-contain, where do the owners of the apartment sleep

Some of you pretend as if women are robots who don't enjoy having sex. These are adults with a sex life. As long as the owners of the apartment don't have an issue with the girlfriend being around, Who am I to judge.

Gabby2022:
I stay with my sis and her husband,most of the time I am always home due to the nature of their job.My sis husband younger brother stays with us but he is hardly home because of work.

Fast forward he has been wanting to let his girlfriend come stay with us since ASUU is on strike, my sis was relunctant but she finally agreed.

Today makes it one week since she came, she has been helping with chores and cooking but the only issue is when her bf (my bro-in-law) is around they bath naked even sleep naked, but with duvet.

Mind you it is a room and parlour self-contain and i feel they shouldn't fornicate knowing fully well i am around.

I haven't told my sis yet because I don't want my sis to kick her out.Right now she has monopolized the bed at night when my sis is not around.

Even if you are wayward,at least show some decency and class.

It's not even your house but you want to be calling shots. Mr big man.

DamnnNiggarr:
My entire family which includes my brothers' wives and their kids and my sisters' families was once a peaceful and an enviable large family but right now, the devil wants to destroy the family through our wives.

My wife and my younger brother's wife who were once greatest friends are now mortal enemies, they don't talk nor regard themselves as humans, this enmity has lingered for long despite me and my brother's efforts and that of my entire family, both extended, to resolve the issues between them, over the years but all to no avail.

It becomes worse by the day as we have tried everything humanly possible that is within our reach to quell the situation, but no success.
It is that bad that as I'm typing this, their enmity is starting to effect me and my brother's relationship, as my younger brother no longer calls nor chats me as he normally does. Even if I called nor chatted him, he won't pick up and neither the missed calls nor the chats would be returned.

I want to try something different, a totally different approach in tackling the situation, that's why I brought it here. I don't want anything to come in between me and my brother nor my family. I don't want anything to happen to neither my brother's wife nor my wife because the heart of man is evil, that's why I'm seeking for a resolution to the ugly situation.

please all your opinions will help a great deal in approaching it from a different perspective.
please save my family.

Obim, My wife is actually the cause of the whole drama,
She accused my brother's wife of having extramarital affair with me due to how close I was with her as a result of the love they(my wife and her) had for each other. It lead to a very heated quarrelling and the lady vowed never to forgive my wife in her life time and my wife whole heartedly accepted the conquest. Obim said if that will keep her away from me that it's a welcome development.

Now, how it's affecting my family is that my kids no longer go on vacation to their place likewise their kids no longer come over to my house during vacation and many more troubles it has caused my entire family.
Initially, My brother understood that it was one of the wahalas associated with women but I'm surprised and confused about his recent change in attitude.

You are the cause of the problem from my point of view. You are to blame 100%.
Your wife accused you of something as serious as infidelity with your brother's wife and what did you do?
If you are innocent of the action, you would have clearly taken strong action against your wife for trying to split your family and for such destructive lies.
If your brother and his wife saw you take action, everything would have changed. The least you could have done was to compel her to apologize to everyone. But you seem to be the weak type.
Remember, you are the older brother here. Your actions have disrespected your family and you even disrespect yourself.

Ishilove:
A Nigerian lady, Ajibola Elisabeth Junaid from Oyo State narrates how she migrated with her family members to the United States in search of greener pastures. Her family settled in Chicago, as they were all asylum seekers. It did not take long for her to discover that hardly does the American dream exist for minorities or people of colour.

She described America as a reality of racism, poverty, food insecurity and gun violence.

She is a senior student at Wendell Phillips Academy High School.

Her narration below:

Too bad she is on the wrong side of America.
Poverty in the Us is less the 14% of the population.
Unemployment is less than 4%
Hunger is nonexistent.
A Black man was president for 8 years.
She chooses to see poverty and racism instead of opportunity and grace. To me, she made the worst choice.

It will be too expensive for average Nigerians..

Monthly sub of $100 that's about 61k, and one time payment of $500..

My Naija peeps will pass

At that speed and consistency, it can be shared by 10 people easily.

He has all it takes and Anambra was still a shit hole when he left it? Make una dey deceive unaself. A politician is a politician.

Anambra became the best in Weac under him, and Anambra's health sector became number 1 in the east. Under his rule, Anambra was the safest state by police records.
More noted industries came to the state, the state boasted of one of the best road networks in the country and the state had about the largest savings of any state. His record as governor was quite good by any standard.

Born2winnx:
The wedding is holding today and have made up my mind not to attend because the dude invited me through WhatsApp. It annoys me how children of this days has no regards or character for their elders. they are changing everything all in the name modernization.

How can someone, I know the exact date he was born be inviting me through WhatsApp, no respect at all, sending the scanned card copy there.. what happened to the hardware copy he printed? I had to tell him, he laughed it off saying bros nor vex the 500 copies he printed was not enough to share self. I didn't want to press the issue farther my mind is already made up.
He won't see me there today.

When I did mine, I knew how far distance I trekked to invite his elder brothers face to face, bought several drinks.

I just hope he invited his in-laws through WhatsApp too

You are the childish one here. Why bring up your family matters online.

paulolee:
club failures?? d same club and players dt finished 2nd last season...ur man came in and the club becomes bad and very poor
same dt happened in his 3 years in Juve, no strong UCL performance n was knocked out by small ajax, Lyon n porto n u blamed d team
the problem I have wit u guys is dt....cr7 is perfect bt always in a bad team.....
even if he joins city next season n dey go trophiless, una go still blame pep team

it's not wise to blame the best-performing player for the failures of this season. Even if they won the league last year.

paulolee:
lolz...this moniker eeh, the best in his club n won trophies or made common top4?
if messi scored 20 goals in league, finished without a trophy n same PSG dt finished 2nd last season are playing conference league next season, thats failure to me...na u sabi ur own rating..
I dnt support mediocrity...so u are saying cr7 was a success in united by united itself is a failed club? meaning only cr7 isnt a failure in dt team..
Sane team with same players dt finished 2nd last season o....i jus tire

well the clubs failures are not always the players failures.
Let me give you 2 examples, the first time Ronaldinho won the world best, Barca won nothing.
Last season, Barca came 3rd yet merci was world best. So the club failing does not mean we don't know when a player is doing well or poorly.
Dimitri Payet won nothing yet he is the best midfielder in France.
The problem with merci is that he is now so poor, it does not matter his club
Do you get it now?
