HIGHESTPOPORI:
They want to be Vp and all of them cannot be picked as Vp

It is even beyond wanting to be VP for the next four or eight years. The shortest path for any of the Northern APC stalwarts to become President is for Atiku not to become President come 2023 because if he does, any other Northerner might have to wait for about 16 (8 years of Atiku Presidency + another 8 years of a Southern Presidency). Hence, many of the APC political heavyweights from the North aren't likely to support Atiku based on tribal affiliation.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Jonathan was an Imcubent, is Tinubu and Imcubent, most Northerners will work for Atiku, the scenario is different

You underestimate the personal interests of the Northern politicians in APC such as El Rufai, Ganduje and the rest.

Those people will work against Atiku knowing fully well that Atiku's success at the polls might work against their own political ambition in subsequent years which was why most of them insisted on a Southern candidate in this primary.

LegendHero:
Bro the youth should start building coalition too and see if it’s very easy to grab power.

If you continue to be useless being online politicians, till the next 100 years, we will still be shouting youth youth.

Hate or like the current old men that the youths of today like to vilify, they started as youths. The likes of Tinubu, Gbenga Daniel started as young people and worked their ways to the top.

Our current crop of young people need to put their money where their mouths are by getting into active politics. Kudos to the likes of Banky W, Desmond Elliot and the others. Power is never served a la carte!

Nobody knows what killed this guy but when you are batten in the morning wet your feet first.

We learn everyday! Is there any reason for this your recommendation?

remi1444:
For the sake of knowledge, is it because of lack of proper fixing by the workman or an electrical fault?

Sometimes it is due to electrical fault. I had an experience at a house I was staying. The plastic base of the heater cracked and I started experiencing tingling shocks from the hand shower which was metallic. The phobia made me abandoned the heater.

Don27tiky:
stop feeding on fake news you get on the internet. It becoming a common trend in Nigeria that when you come after political thieves they look for one way or the other to accuse you too. And the gullible masses fall for it. Same thing TY Danjuma did by accusing Buhari of sending Fulani soldiers to kill people in benue and taraba when This government wanted to Takeover the oil wells he stole from Nigeria. Support your government to fight criminality

Honestly your advice about supporting the government to fight corruption makes a lot of sense and I believe that Nigerians have sufficiently supported Buhari. However, how do you continue to support someone who pardoned two governors who were convicted after lengthy judicial processes? Pray tell!

Nbote:
Wait the same Magu who was removed on massive corruption and fraud allegations being promoted And some ediots in this forum will make noise about how d useless govt is fighting corruption. Na Ogun go kill all of una

When was the last time you heard anybody talk about Buhari fighting corruption? Somebody that pardoned 2 convicted thieves who paraded themselves as governors? Abeg leave that joke.

Kyase:
Nobody betrayed anybody here, Tinubu is only feeling entitled, and with this, nothing for him.
He will decamp and APC will still win.
With what he's doing, I don't think the presidency may even go to the south west again.
Buhari may counter that by going to the south east or south south

I think you guys overrate Buhari. I ain't particular about what happens between politicians. However, wherever power goes Buhari becomes irrelevant as from May 29, 2023. The dude messed up everything in the country.

poj:
Hello, please who are you? What exactly did Tinubu do to you? Haba! The way you are shouting Ashiere up and down on every thread is quite worrisome and equally dangerous to your wellbeing.

I come in peace!

No need to advise that dolt. He has shown how mannerless he is. Regardless of the political differences, I don't understand why he and his ilks cannot keep the political debate clean without invectives. I am sure that a lot of anti-Tinubu people cringe at the way the guy go about shouting "ashiwere" every second.

Beautiful and well written piece. I, however, abhor an Atiku Presidency because he supervised the shoddy and corruption riddled privatisation of NEPA and I can clearly see that Reno deliberately excluded that from this missive.

kekakuz:
I feel their pain tho.
But I know a bolt guy that makes about 20k on Saturdays alone.
How Is He doing it that you people are complaining

I guess you should focus more on his expenditure and not what he makes. My interaction with some of these ride hailing drivers show that they barely make profit.

For instance the guy that you mentioned who makes 20k on Saturdays, will incur the following costs to make the 20k:

Fuel - 6k approximately
Bolt commission - 5k/6k (There are unconfirmed reports that their commission is now 30%)
Contingencies for maintenance and depreciation - 5k

Therefore on that 20k, he is probably making a profit of about 3k to 4k.

Note that he may refuse to set aside that portion for maintenance, but if he does that he would be without a car soon.

And to think that he would make that meagre amount of money over many hours show how poorly renumerated those guys are.

That is why I always try and offer them tips whenever I use their services.

nedekid:
From the list you posted, Odom obviously. He was in the banking industry so should have understanding of the economy.
But isn't is possible for Atiku to invite Obi back to the fold as his vice?

Unfortunately, being in banking doesn't equip people with understanding macro-economics which is the foundation of understanding the economy. Emefiele is a case study.

nsiba:
The very reason he shouldn't be President

Amaechi ranked high in my list of people I could have supported with my votes but if he keeps mingling with characters like Buratai, I would definitely find it difficult supporting him. Buratai represents some of the worst things in this country and I would not like for people like him to get back into political reckoning after Buhari's tenure.

Eriokanmi:
. OK. Thanks. I was just emphasising quality ni

Thanks for not taking offence and I do understand that you might not have thought about the unintended consequences.

On a lighter note, I have seen American folks who use small budget phones too despite America being the home of iPhone.

Eriokanmi:
All the chincos are still far, far behind Samsung.

If it's not Samsung, it can never be like Samsung. I bought a Samsung S7 in 2017, gave it out in 2021 after buying Samsung S21 but retrained its charger because S21 no dey come with charger. Its optional. Up till now, I'm still using the S7 charger and still charges very fast 5 years down the line. The person i dashed the S7 only replaced the screen from a Samsung shop in Ikeja and it became all new again.

Na which chinco charger fit last 2 years sef, talkless of 5?

I read some of your posts with delight but I must caution us on this one. You see the present decadence in the society is fueled by pursuits of material things and when we deride what others can afford as "chinko" we may be indirectly contributing to the rot. Let those that can only afford Itel and other budget phones use their gadgets in peace without feeling less than. Thanks.

Miracle2020:
Lagos state should completely ban okada in the state.

Exactly what Lagos State Government needs to do is what you have said but whenever government attempts to do that then you will hear the sentiments that they want to destroy the means of livelihood of the masses or that they want to inconvenience the people.

LilMissFavvy:
That is why it is good for a woman to have a source of income. If she had her own money, she would have bought what

You are very correct.

he same man who said he didn't have money for a bag of rice

He said he didn't have money for rice for the Lady Pastor and her ministry, not that he didn't have money for rice meant for family consumption. He was well within his rights and he cannot be questioned on that.

had 20k to pay for hotel room and prostitute'. He also says he will start patronising prostitutes'

Op please refrain from this path that leads to destruction.

Atiku: Nobody will steal money under me as President

Me: Sir, is it that you would have stolen everything such that those under you won't have anything to steal?

We need to interrogate these politicians when they make statements that are ambivalent. That is how Buhari promised Nigerians change, but they didn't ask the kind of change he was gonna bring, as change can be either negative or positive.

Buddha3:
See, but not for ethnic and religious inclinations, El-rufai is one of the best and most efficient politicians in Nigeria's current political landscape.

The man is proactive, swift to decisions, decisive in governmental policies, qualitative in service delivery and extremely intelligent in running the daily affairs of any system within his leadership purview.

I'm a non-political citizen from the South South region but I've travelled the corners of this entire country in the course of my daily hustles...so this is my personal opinion from garnered experiences.

The face of Abuja is what it is today because of that small man's ingenuity. And he's ably replicating the same standards in Kaduna right now. The man deserves commendation.

I cannot agree less with you.

pocohantas:
E tire me o. Some even saying she done knack the powers that be. Na Kpokpogarri she first date? Why she no demolish Malivelihood and Churchill house?

Nonsense beer parlour gist!

Serious beer parlour gist. Seems a lot of our people are bereft of any sense of logic. Curiously, even Kpokpogiri attributed the demolition to his refusal to sell the place to some powerful people and not to Tonto.

The blood of the innocent people that some misguided northerners are shedding will keep on hunting them. No place where they shed innocent blood that they wouldn't experience some consequences. Some of these mindless killings are the reasons why there is Boko Haram and banditry in the North. When you rob others of peace, you can never have peace.

Popesuccess:
The people keep calling Osibanjo as if he Is the president, he has no power or authority except the one delegeted to him by the president.

You think they don't know? They just want to give him a bad name so that they can hang him. To some idiots, everything is politics. We have had christian presidents in this country and yet this kind of killings happened but the person you quoted will not talk about that. You may recall the murder of several corpers during the 2011 elections.

Aboki99:
Atiku should have added that it I also unacceptable to insult religious figures for peace to reign.

Wouldn't Deborah have made her point without the insult to their prophet?

Have you confirmed that she truly condemned their prophet? From the audio in circulation, there is no confirmation she did.

LibertyRep:
The thing is that, Tinubu appears to be the most prepared with immense structure all round the country amongst the APC contenders, not even the Vice President.

It will be a miracle for anyone to defeat him in the primary. The only way to stop him is to opt for consensus.

Sadly, even though he might not be my preferred candidate for personal reasons he has proven to be better prepared than a lot of his opponents. Give it to him on that but he must learn to do away with the politics of cronyism. Or, is it that he has learnt that cronyism is the way to advance one's political dreams and ambitions in this clime?

Praisegate:
FASHOLA seems to be the wisest.
Dude just dey watch with amusement.
Its sure that whoever still emerges the Presido will still retain him as a minister.

Honestly, I find Fashola's demeanor interesting in the build up to the 2023 election. Dude has been quiet despite the all comers approach of the southerners to the presidential contest. That is some emotional intelligence.

DMerciful:
Her story is not adding up. The fact that she did documents to conceal her identity means the murder was premeditated. She wanted to run with his money but probably panicked.

I don't think she panicked. I think she didn't envisage that the law would catch up with her so quickly.

Her actions were premeditated and I presume that she felt she couldn't be traced hence she was gonna take her time to be withdrawing from the dead man's account.

Focusmind:
The way my Eastern brothers are carrying this Peter Obi's matter for head dey suprise me, insulting other people, thinking that voting starts and ends with them. In politics, you have to negotiate your way. You do not threaten or derogate other people. Greater percentage of voters are not from SE.

SE people should go and learn about Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe brand of politics. His politics of compromise and no bitterness catapulted him to the presidency of Nigeria in 1963 when Nigeria became a republic, dishing her majesty, the queen, as the official head of state of Nigeria then. It was his association with NPC that gave rise to the first republic government. If he had not done that, he wouldn't have smelt power. His politics of association saw him won most seats in the Western House parliamentary election and was on the verge of becoming the first premier of the western region. Building bridges and alliance ensures success in politics.

In 1979, he compromised again and went into alliance. His party produced the speaker of the House of Representative and some cabinet ministers. Compromise, handshake, association and negotiation ensures a place for you. You do not need to stay in your house and be tweeting from morning till night, insulting other people and expect to be served the presidency, alacat.

In terms of personality, I would give it to Peter Obi and would love to have him as my president. However, the reality does not favor him.

I guess you meant "a la carte". Every other thing you said is spot on.

pocohantas:
Well said…

I don’t know why Nigerians are so afraid of death. Including the ones that claim they want to go somewhere to sing hosannah and dance in white robes.

Death is inevitable and all humans would die. The only thing I don’t want is tragic death. Make trailer no jam me or Naija men go kidnap and use me for rituals. God abeg o!

Walahi, you are a very "vayulent" person! Wetin Naija men do you na?

irunoko:
lol after destroying the decent ladies and pushing them to become what they were never, they're now looking for decent and sexually responsible woman

You all deserve the damaged,crazy, sexually reckless and entitled women.you turned good women into monsters for your selfish agendas so it's time to reap where you sowed Afterall they didn't become entitled and animalistic overnight


When some of you were gang raping, commiting pedophilia,kidnapping, beating ,deceiving young girls into human trafficking, spiking their drinks to abort, rape or prostitute or demanding for sex before employment or grades,you didn't know they'll turn to monsters.nigerian men make nigerian women and vice versa.live With it

And this is deep. Nobody plants okra and harvests corn. Whatever, we sow we will reap.

LibertyRep:
Emefiele isn't the one embarrassing the country, his principal is actually.

And this is so true.

Mooh247:




The sooner we privatise education and only pay grants and sponsorship to only deserving students the better


Civil servants and Politicians are the same, sucking the ordinary masses is all they do

Multiple salaries by lecturers, Jumbo allowance by Politicians, estacode and travel allowance for useless conferences and workshops



.

I tell you for free that ASUU leadership is part of the problem in the country. As long as they get paid for sitting at home they don't care about the plight of the students whose number of active years are being wasted. And to think that their members will be electoral officers who would partake in rigging and all sorts even annoys me the more.
