Which begs the question, on what basis is Asiwaju seeking reelection for the office of the president?

If Nigeria was a serious country, Tinubu wouldn't have the balls to even seek re-election.

What's wrong? Hotels aren't that expensive so why people deliberating risking their lives for nothing? Not everyone is sane, some can kill you for messing with their partners, if you must engage in stuff like this why can't you lodge in a hotel in a far away town?

It's not by having the most money. Irrespective of how much you have, if major stakeholders don't like you or don't front you, you won't go anywhere.

Problem is some folks think as long as they have money they can use money to bulldoze everything but they always learn , it's not like that.

izzou:
You're mixing it up.

The people you mentioned are NASS members, not HoR members. I can bet that only few Lagosians know their HoR members.

The HoR is Amuwo Odofin shared COVID palliatives on her birthday. Where was this outrage on her too?

Desmond is being cancelled by his party, and not the people of Surulere (yet). They obviously don't want to give him the ticket because of political reasons, and they are selling a performance narrative to the people. That's my point.

I also feel he should have read the room and move on to something else. Not decamp, but lobby for something else. A new regime is coming in 2027. Start casting your nets in different sectors.

It's just shameful seeing him gather a League of Veteran actors to beg for him. Are they all living in his constituency?

Werey man

HOR are NASS members. I think you mean HOA.

A40:
This is what they probably told Saint Obi and that's how he died in silence. I don't agree with this at all

Hey ya he was a nice guy when he dies at 54 na him go end am.

I understand the silent man and I also understand the man that decides to speak. And men need to do less laughing and more listening to our problems. Suicide rates and mental health issues is at a high and we can't keep being indifferent to each other's struggles. Women are not wired to care. That one is nature and I don't hold it against them I just understand that's woman being woman but the first instinct as a man hearing another man's marital issues should not be to laugh. Let the women do that

As for male celebs if you don't maximize your fame and spend responsibly you have yourself to blame. Chris Brown is the only male celeb doing it right and breaking these girls pockets

I've never understood the culture of trickin, living lavishly trying to impress women. I've always maintained men should be even more frugal and have zero tolerance for women that are there to squander your resources. I have not seen church wey get ministry for Widowers.

You're the man expected to pay for education, leave inheritance, Life insurance. You're expected to provide in life and even in death

Nothing like nature. It's all Social conditioning.

izzou:
How bad did Desmond perform, compared to others?

Him getting cancelled is because of the powers within his political party, and not really about performance.

Abi, how many HoR in Lagos do we know that performed well?

His party people have cancelled him. My own anger is why he is trying to force himself on them and everyone.

If people no accept you, do another thing. Go lobby for SA or Commissioner from HamZat, or one Ministry

Crying like a baby is just irritating me

Na the free money wey go stop dey make am cry. Once most people taste politics funds them no dey gree cormot body again. E get why people dey look Obi laugh when he dey promise to do one term.

A40:
Naah you can't defend Frank after seeing that response sha. Never that

Me I believe in a code of silence as well so long as you're not being attacked. But certain offenses should be exposed if they are that egregious. DV, Paternity fraud, If they gave you diseases

Even those instances shouldn't be brought to the media.

Spy360:
Yes but will there be peace, equity? In a multiethnic country like Nigeria?

The zoning principle was brought to ensure that every region produces a president in this new republic first before we start making it based on popularity.

If you ask me, the only thing I care about in leaders is if they can enact policies that will make business and life easier, I don't give a fvck about where they came from, that is the least of my priorities.

CrystalTiger:
This marriage thing can be funny..If you're not ready for one partner, why marry at all..The woman came with names of the mistresses Frank had, even with locations for some of the affairs...

I do hope they don't descend into hatred for each other because it might affect the kids..

I don't even understand the guy. You're doing your own the lady never came to the media, she did her own, you ran to the media. What was his purpose of doing that? To get her bullied or what? I don't like hypocrisy.

raumdeuter:
Seyi wants to be the Kwankwanso of Oyo, that serious candidates come to negotiate Kano votes with. Seyi will get more than 10K votes in Oyo and those votes are votes that should have gone to Tinubu that would have gone to waste

By the time in 2019 its the time of the South, its going to likely be SE or SS. which disqualifies him unless he wants to claim his wife lineage in Rivers

We need to stop all these zoning stuff sha. A Nigerian is a Nigerian.
State of origin /region of origin these things are just dividing the country further instead of actually uniting us.

Many states and even Nigeria as a country has lost opportunities to experience competent leadership because of this nonsense.

The only people defending Frank Edoho on this matter are people that didn't know his antecedents during his prime days, and those that defend anything their gender does.

Man fvcked anything fvckable, he was always in the news. That guy can't tell me he didn't fvck anybody's partner back then. He should've just moved on mehn.

Relationship and marriage issues are things I believe should never be brought on social media irrespective of what happened.

timidapsin:
One thing that can destroy a person is marrying the wrong partner.

I still believe that if you are genuinely unhappy in your marriage, whether as a man or a woman, divorce should be an option.

I don’t subscribe to the “till death do us part” mentality when the relationship is unhealthy, draining, or damaging, and I don’t think people should be pressured to stay in such situations.

Spot on bro.

TemporaryHansel:
That UK guy wey dem fvck him wife wey dey crashout for twitter since, like say na naija him dey he for don arrest the guy with police dey oppress am, since he likely get bread pass the guy wey spread him wife so.

If your wife cheat on you instead of you to hold her responsible, like she's the one that had vows with you oh, you'll go and fight, arrest, or oppress the person that fvcked her, meanwhile a woman that doesn't want to be fvcked can't be fvcked! Women are the gatekeepers of sex. So if someone fvcks your wife, hold her responsible.

Unto this. Frank Edoho should go and arrest Chike na. Chike has more bread than him so he can't do anything but if it was some random bloke he would've used lawless Nigerian institutions to mess him up.

A lot of these men who always wail about being cheated on are doing their own by the way , but they'll never talk about their own part.

semid4lyfe:
I remember differently. She said they eventually did IT and it was underwhelming.

Why was she speaking about such things publicly? Wtf.

Some of these women are not serious. If you want sex too much they complain, if you don't want it they still complain.

PDJT:
- This is why you don't marry a daughter of a poor man/woman in the name of love. For them marriage is a gateway ticket out of their generational poverty.

- Marrying someone below your socio-economic level is a recipe for disaster.

- Men, know your worth and marry more than one to make it worthwhile.

They never listen.

Misplaced priorities. Religion is for brain dead folks.

Let's not forget so called millionaires collected malt and 2k from Apga in Anambra. Chai.

Let me see any anambra person wail or complain about Soludo again.

Leyqute:
These politicians baffle me. Why not spend that money on infrastructure and improving the lives of the electorate? Surely, that will earn him solid points for reelection, no?

Why should they do that when foolish Nigerians will still vote for them even if they do nothing? Nigeria is a lost cause mehn.

As long as you'll share rice, malt, and 5k they'll collect and return you. I've said it before that most Nigerians don't care about manifesto and plans or any of that, just give them money. No matter how angry people were with Gej back then, if Tinubu and Amaechi didn't bring out funds to share , buhari wouldn't have gone anywhere.

Milionaires in which currency? Is it $ or naira because if it's naira the number reported for Lagos is vastly inaccurate, but if you say dollar millionaires then it's agreeable.

This presidential election will be the most expensive in Nigeria history. I don't think any other president spent this much for re-election in this country.

With the way baba is moving, the total money spent for this his re-election will be over $20b oh. This man has 32 state governors in his party and still not reassured.

Nigerians will sell their votes to the highest bidder once more, and wail about the consequences for the next four years again. A continuous cycle.

Wahala for inventors.

But is there no international patent laws that protect such inventions?

There are ways to circumvent that.

These Chinese people their own is just to copy anything invented by Americans.
They hardly invent anything consequential on their own. Others take the risks and initiative, then they copy after they see the success.

BlueRayDick:
The woman who owns BON bread has terrible advisers Sha. And her lawyers just dey steady milk her ignorance and lack of good advisers

“A lot of people think Nigerians are s€ns€less, and I find that very insulting. Bon Bread took all sorts of actions against me just because of my video. I never mentioned their name, but they concluded it was their bread. They even took me to the police station where I wrote a… https://t.co/nLDSXhLZNJ pic.twitter.com/9gvZuVCOBv

NPF as an organization is useless. The whole force needs to be disbanded entirely, if you say the current ones should be reorientated it's just a waste of time and won't work. They don't even obey the IGP.

So, people shouldn't review products they purchased again?
Why are most Africans so scared of criticism?? If you don't want people to review your products then quit producing anything na.

NPF is always available for the highest bidder. A total disgrace, just like their military counterparts.

Amoto94:
You sit in the comfort of your home, phone in hand, insulated from the chaos that shapes this country. And with a few taps, you pour insults on men and women who have held rifles in places you wouldn’t dare visit with a convoy. You mock their struggles for a few likes, a little attention as if their blood is currency for your clout.

But the truth is heavy, and you don’t carry it. You’ve never felt the earth shake under a bomb. You’ve never held a dying comrade’s hand and watched the light fade. You’ve never explained to a child why their father is not coming back.

Our soldiers endure all of that. Daily. Quietly. And many pay the ultimate price just to keep Nigeria standing.

So when you sit behind your screen, think: who would you run to when the walls fall? Who would stand between your family and the fire?

Not you. You’d be the first to cry out for help.

Our troops deserve more than your cheap commentary. They deserve respect. They deserve gratitude. They deserve to be honored not insulted.

To every soldier who has bled, who has served, who has sacrificed:

WE SEE YOU
WE THANK YOU
WE STAND WITH YOU

Story. Nigerian military is a disgrace to humanity.

BlueRayDick:
Exactly why I think she's lucky to have done that to a kind man. A street guy would've weighed all options, he would've figured he can't win her over there and will treat her mess up in naija when she may have thought she has gotten away with her wickedness.

Aside from the guy sponsoring her in school, I didn't really see anything the guy did wrong. Every other thing the guy did was normal stuff for a guy who loves his partner.

A guy sponsoring a lady to school will always be a very bad decision.

Guys no dey ever hear. Young girls these days are bad prospects for serious relationship and marriage. This is not 1990.
I always say it, as a guy, if you want a serious relationship/marriage go for ladies above 28.
Younger ladies now are either not mature enough to understand commitment or aren't interested in commitment, but most guys still won't hear because a lot of them are looking for someone they'll lord over like dictators.

Young girls of nowadays are only good for casual flings to be honest. As side chicks/fvck mates, any guy trying to take them serious is on a long thing, it's 50/50 chance.

The last part on bold is very spot on.

Amigoos1:
I love how actors, actresses and even comedians still take the AMVCA award seriously and hold it to prestigious heights unlike the Headies that have lost all relevance.

The organizers of the headies are responsible for the headies losing relevance. Don't try to put the blame on artists.

BlueRayDick:
It could be Aza issues and it may be something else like cult related killings. One thing that is certain is Nigeria as a country is one place you shouldn't offend people any how because there are so many unforgiving people in this country and they can always take out vexation on you without the law catching up with them.

There was a case of one Ugo guy that trended all through the weekend on Twitter. The guy spent 10m proposing to his naija babe, spent millions on their wedding, sponsored her relocation to the UK with millions of naira and paid her tuition in a UK varsity. The lady ended up cheating in him with another bloke in Manchester and the guy was crashing out on Twitter.

I told someone yesterday that an unforgiven person in that guy's shows count even make that much crashing out noise online. He would give her the silent treatment, allow her think he's a fool for getting "run-street"....then he would continue to monitor her.

He would wait for when she goes to naija where the law doesn't work and treat her mess up. He can have all her family members either kidnapped or murdered or worse. She may even be subjected to worse. It's a good thing the guy in questuon is free minded and chose to express his feelings online. People wey genuinely wicked dey this country well well o

The guy said the babe and her family still tried to get him deported after all this by lying that he abused her(DV), her claims got investigated and was found to be false, and she got deported instead. It's like the babe was on a mission to turn the guy into a heartless man.

Someone brought you from poverty, poshed you up, spent over 30m on wedding, bought you a car, sponsored your relocation abroad, and still sponsored your education too, and you repay him by trying to ruin his life. Cheating on him wasn't enough, she still wanted to get him deported.

That guy is a better man than I am oh... Because me I'll just lock up for like three years and fvck them up badly naija style after all the noise have died down and they think I've forgotten.

If you're not someone that always buy stuff/pay for stuff online, you'll never understand how annoying this USD/Naira rates are.

If you're making payment, the rate is always higher compared to when you receive. Why is it so ??

For example if you're paying for something of $200 online they'll charge you over 270k for the $200, but if they send you that same $200 it won't be more than 230k. It's really ridiculous.

https://x.com/i/status/2053635317526077868

Paramount really fumbled by not releasing this stuff in theatres. I believe the movie would've easily made $300m+ at the BO.

That UK guy wey dem fvck him wife wey dey crashout for twitter since, like say na naija him dey he for don arrest the guy with police dey oppress am, since he likely get bread pass the guy wey spread him wife so.

If your wife cheat on you instead of you to hold her responsible, like she's the one that had vows with you oh, you'll go and fight, arrest, or oppress the person that fvcked her, meanwhile a woman that doesn't want to be fvcked can't be fvcked! Women are the gatekeepers of sex. So if someone fvcks your wife, hold her responsible.

Two things are involved in this Peter Obi & Atiku matter.

1. Between Peter Obi and Atiku, one of them is working for Tinubu.
2. Both of them have too much pride.

One question the opposition should ask themselves is assuming Tinubu decided to run solo instead of working with buhari in 2015, would they've been able to unseat Jonathan?? Your answer to this question should tell you what will happen when Peter Obi and Atiku decide to run separately.
