Osun finally liberated.

kponkedenge:
If not for the political gymnastics INEC played the last time..... Ademola Adeleke should have been the governor by now.

Meanwhile today is my birthday..... Nairalanders show me love.

Happy birthday bro. Age with Grace.

Tutormo:
Lemme go and withdraw my $95 remaining on the card

Just withdrew mine shaperly

When will this guy appear in ARISE TV house so we can hear him directly?

Sowore who is supporting abi you no get supporters?

It shows you are a zombie. You have no conscience but if you have one it is not working.

You are after the money but not after the future of your children.

Pig.

APC government is not interested in the next generation, they are only interested in the next election.


But some of the next generation is interested in helping APC in destroying them. To them it's a punishment for the Igbos. Even people who have lost loved ones to Boko Haram and bandits are happy to have punished Igbos.

Realist12:
Ready to start seeing the reality . And seeing social media and real life are 2 different places. The elites sees beyond propaganda and social media noises they have the stats . Wonder why they don't stress themselves looking for validation on social media and
Tinubu knows how to control his narratives unlike Obi chasing social media clout . Let the campaign kick off Obi will be no where to be found when we are talking of achievements and giant strides no be noise .

Says a self defeated man who hopes on crumps from the master's table to survive. I feel your pains.


The worst defeat is self defeat. Deal with it.

FutureIsFemale:
Men will always be men. Anything with a hole they would always want to insert their rusty sticks.

A pregnant woman in Labour for that matter.

This rapist gender would rape animals, babies, adults just anything with hole.. May God help us

My mum no get hole na vagina she get, you na hole you get?

CoronaVirusRelo:
Waste of resources


Better go invest the money in fish farming or pig husbandry.

shortIGBOman:
He is definitely an IGBO Man. Na them dey practice politics of bitterness.

I am a Yoruba but tell your elders to tell you the stories of Akintola and Papa Awo

There are some students who have been at home for months due to ASUU strikes but will chosse to come to nairaland to fight each other because of politicians who don't care for them, politicians whose children are stuyding abroad where there are no university strikes.


Make una continue

gr8ofnnetwork:
So you think it is easy and cheap to win general election. Then ask PDP some questions when such mindset dominate their thinking

Go and take some lessons from French persident

But Obi himself distanced himself from the app naa so what is the fuss about again?

gidgiddy:
This is unfair. Should Peter Obi visit the family of anyone killed in Anambra or issue state on it?

That alone will tell you the man is just looking to be noticed. Now anyone one that wants to trend will attack Obi because they know he has large followership. From the nonsense he wrote up there who did you see he recommended?

The parkinson's disease man just take style remind us that our children are at home instead of being in school while their own are studying abroad. Yes we will remember it in general elections

Frigga13:
OBi is never a problem

Tinubu is not even a matter

My pain with Obi is him taking igbos back to 84”

Why withdraw and quit.. with out proper consultation and then limiting igbo politcal future to another long term

Then IPOB suddenly hijack of the campaign

OBi was the only candinate that is about penetrating the North after aAzikwe

Then suddenly made a complete u turn to start from scratch

That’s goofing .. but igbos will realize this after 2023 .. approaching 2027

Politcs is planned .. not spontaneous

Are you Igbo? If you are not then leave them alone.



Your shallow understanding has limited you to tribal and regional politics. Obi is coming to be a Nigerian president and not Igbo president.

Your mindset and that of Kwankwaso are same. We have moved on from that level. I am a Yoruba guy but I am voting Obi. Know it and know peace.

Lovenorth:
Buhari has almost finished his term, let's focus our attention on Tinubu/shetima presidency. those that hate Muslim Muslim ticket should go and die, we are proud of Islam and we don't hate Christians, what matters is compitance

Your last word said it all


COMPITANCE PEOPLE

This vulture griller can't be saved. His case is irredeemable

The truth is that I don't know between him and Reno who is more confused..


The two need prayers badly.

thebosstrevor1:
Fact

NIGERIA WILL BE WORSE UNDER PETER OBI

THERE WON'T BE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION

BUT THERE WILL BE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT ON THE ROAD ABI?

Anyone who wants to trend now will attack Obi so his voice could be heard. Reno you are doing well OBIDIENTLY

Rmain:
There must be a reason for that

Are you minding fools commenting nonsense. The lawmakers are making privusion for looting but they forgot the man in charge had controlled the nation's apex bank before and had seen it all. Some of the lawmakers ranting nonsense had never seen N1b arranged together.

thebosstrevor1:
What fraud was carried out

Can you explain

I bet he didn;t read jack before rushing to comment. That is their way, nairaland urchins

kayperry:
Have they voted yet or you don see the election result ahead ... what is difficult in gathering people with 1k in a country where people can hardly afford one meal.

1k kee you there

The beauty of it is that nobody gave them shishi and they expected no shishi rather they are spending theirs

funb01:
You can't find these praise singers on this thread

You mean vulture grillers dem?

PresidObi:
Everybody dey find way to trend

So they wont be forgotten.

Peter Obi has been helping a lot of people

To remain relevant

Helping Nigerians survive

God bless Peter Obi

My brodaaaa! Oil dey your head.



If anyone wants to trend now he will just look for Obi.


He said Wike toys with seventy something billion in Rivers but people are dying of stamped in Rivers where they went to collect free food.


The real enemies of the people are getting uncomfortable already imagine what will happen if Obi gets to Aso rock.

Eiyaaaa! This one came late.


Try next format next time.

peepydelano:
Peter Obi is not an intelligent man else he would have known better than allowing himself to be deceived . How and what on earth makes him believe he can ever win a presidential election in Nigeria. Igbos and their love for chasing clout is second to none, Peter Obi is a clown and a clout chaser. Igbos should just stick to biafra clout chasing in peace.

OgunLaakaye:
You are right!

Bukola Saraki did not also go into politics to enrich himself.

Rochas Okorocha, Andy Uba, Orji Uzor Kalu and Ned Nwoko.

All this people were rich and successful so they never stole from the people.

Even Patience Jonathan was a 1st lady of Bayelsa state and wife of a professor, No time she stole public funds.


If he was rich and could not transform Anambra to Dubai in 8 years, then what particular landmark or achievement, did he achieve in Anambra!

He met Anambra has a shiithole and left it as a shithole!. Even the little he could point at, erosion has washed all away

Yoruba: From restructuring to àwa l'ókàn

By Lasisi Olagunju

(Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Monday, 4 July, 2022)

A professor friend who works abroad is home-sick. He recently asked me: “I want to visit home. I am scared. What do you think? Will I be safe?” I didn't know what to tell him. Those of us at home carefully select where to go in Nigeria and when to go there. Our country is a jungle: people get killed; people get captured for ransom; people come out unhurt. Who gets what is not made known to us. Going to the farm, to the mosque, to the church, to the market is war. It is crazy. If governments exist to protect lives and property, then we can say there is none here. All pretence to governance is absent; the sole thing that is working is politics. Everyone appears to have given up. If we have stopped asking ourselves how to save this structure from collapsing, should we also stop discussing how to escape a structural collapse? While our politicians are campaigning for the next elections, their terrified people are bailing out of the country. The people already see the current storms as a certain indicator of an impending collapse. They know that roofs caving in, windows opening and slamming shut amidst cracking columns make escape too late. They are responding to the warnings and the shots. They head towards where they can see light, some through the doors, many through the windows. Check the immigration offices for the number of applicants for international passports. Ask questions at embassies and foreign missions. Go to the departure halls of our international airports. For those too poor to think of life outside here, the refuge is in prayers and desperate survival measures. What we see daily are a terror-stricken citizenry who think Nigeria may not be saved and are desperate for safety. Unfortunately, the Yoruba who have always been at the front in demanding a restructuring of Nigeria for the safety of all have dropped the elephant for the cricket of opportunism. They are singing ‘àwa l'ókan’.

The ensemble singing the 'àwa l'ókàn' song say the route they currently take is a shortcut to a restructured Nigeria. They know what they say is deception. The parallel is what a 21-year-old conman did to a mosque in Jigawa State last week. The felon approached trusting worshippers and custodians of a community mosque with an offer to rebuild and make the worship house more modern. The people thanked and embraced him as a 'progressive' and watched as he tore down their prized structure bit by bit. To their horror, their helper sold the roofing sheets, he auctioned the planks and every item of value he met in the mosque and ran away. He was arrested. They were lucky. The 'àwa l'ókàn' band leaders are already stronger than the law. No one will be able to call them to account. When they finish the turn-by-turn gang rape of Nigeria and its people, every victim will be asked to say thank you to the big man with the big gun. Already, the country is in trouble in their very hands. Their solution is to ask us to wait till next year for their deliverance service. How many will be alive then?

There is a huge wave of movement of scared, scarred souls from the north to the south. We see it every day. In the south, there is an exodus abroad. I regularly hear of south-west people selling homes and lands to push themselves out of Nigeria. Those who can afford it but are too old to run are making their children run. British-Somali poet, Warsan Shire, says “no one leaves home unless/ home is the mouth of a shark.” Those are the opening lines of his very solemn poem on what could make a people run away from home. The title of that poem is actually 'Home.' It has very many instructive lines that make it fit perfectly into the displacement happening before our very eyes.


It is not wisdom for a wise man to die every day at the backyard of a foolish man.

The àwa l'ókàn people see their 2023 journey as a moving train. They are so sure. No one should seek to stand in their way. A new president will be born and he will be their man on Saturday, 25 February, 2023. How many days away? 236 days. No one will and can stand in their way to power, they say with all certainty. They forget that the terrorists of the north have no respect for trains and movements. In Kaduna, they waylaid and shot at a train and abducted every specimen of humanity they found in it. The captives are still in captivity. That incident was a proverb about what Nigeria as it is can do to any enterprise. If and whenever Nigeria happens to the Yoruba again, it will be deja vu. No one should shout marginalization and form a NADECO. You said Nigeria should not pound your yam, you would eat it boiled, and you had your way; now, pounded yam is ready, you are holding out your plate again. I thought we all agreed that Nigeria as presently structured is forever flawed and won't work unless it is rebuilt? That we've all dropped the restructuring ball today is a repudiation of wisdom. The principles of federalism, of justice and fairness which the Yoruba trenchantly espoused this past decade are melting in the fires of one man's ambition. Sadly, the man has no national or regional pretence. He said it: his agenda is personal, his slogan is 'èmi l'ókan'; his turn is Yoruba's replacement for restructuring of Nigeria.
