Everyone around then knows Ngige is the one to beat and all agenda was against him including stopping voting in his stronghold. Race was AGPA Vs APC, and in that result APC is the one that has been suppressed. The choice was AGPA vs APC and AGPA benefits Jonathan at Federal level from the two of them
Yet he was soundly beaten.
Your man had nuisance value that was nowhere near the competition he showed.
Do you know how much the landlord will pay Lagos state government for Land use charge in a very highbrow area like Ikoyi?
Why should the landlord reduce his rental income because she's a good writer and she believes she can plant flowers to beautify the house she will be staying?
Well we can't say how much she's offering to pay compared to what it's listed for. Some people don't depend on money they collect for rent for their sustenance, they just want someone that's staying in the house and keeping it maintained...she fit get luck say the owner na that kin person.
I do agree it's a hard ask sha, especially since he could bid his time for responsible tenants that would meet his asking.
airmark: Obi put Anambra's eggs in one basket and that's another red flag regarding his decision-making skills. Even my dad who didn't work in the banking/financial sector like Obi, had shares in multiple companies to play safe. While he licked his wounds on Savannah bank and Societe Generale, he is smiling to the bank with Okomu oil and First bank's dividends, right issues and bonuses.
Did your father through business become a dollar millionaire in his 30s?
It's like some poor bloke trading BTC and other shit coins with some success starting to claim business smartness over a Dangote because of mistakes he's made over the years.
You're comparing an election where the party that won got pretty twice the votes of the parties that came second and twice the votes of the party that came third to this?

Race was AGPA Vs APC, and in that result APC is the one that has been suppressed. The choice was AGPA vs APC and AGPA benefits Jonathan at Federal level from the two of them
APGA won the elections comfortably and APC came third.
Ibime: PDP was never in the race, the race was between APGA and APC and the objective and collusion was to stop Ngige and give AGPA the W as AGPA would always deliver for PDP at Federal level
Similar to what Wike and Kwankwaso does for Tinubu which is allow them to win their local election and they will deliver Federal for the ruling Party. That has always been the agreement with AGPA, same thing Obi told Wike when he met him in 2022, "allow us Federal and we will allow you Gubernatorial and all other election"
Same reason Jonathan attempted to make Obi a Minister soon as Obi finished his term despite being in a different party, and same reason he made him SEC Chairman the next year. They are very close and were working together. Everyone knows how this works except you who choose to bury head in the sand. El Rufai knows the parole, he is experienced in the game.
PDP was never in the race but Ngige of APC was the one that ended up coming third.
It's one thing to bark that you're in the race, and it's another thing to actually deliver on election day. I'm sure if you went by the noise Olumide Akpata made prior to the Edo election you'd think he'd get more than 3% of votes cast.
Is there any Governor not personally invested with stymieing opposition movements and structure in election week. You must be born yesterday or totally believe Obi is a Saint to not do what all Governors do in election week
This is an election between Chris Ngige (APC) a highly popular ex-Governor, widely lauded by Anambrarians as their best Governor in the 4th Republic Vs ruling Party PDP (Nwoye) Vs Obiano (APGA) - a battle for the very survival of AGPA
The election was fraught with irregularities, so detaining El Rufai is the least of the crimes committed in that election and a minor footnote to what Obi and APGA did in that election from ballot snatching to thumb printing to no voting in Idemili North which was Ngige stronghold.
Leave what you think I believe.
My point is on what you've chosen to swallow hook line and sinker while ignoring other plausible explanations like PDP protecting the interests of their candidate that came 2nd, or El-Rufai misrepresenting facts like he's been known to do in times past.
Ibime: He has said who detained him (Obi), Obidients are bringing his court case against FG (the legal chain of command) as evidence that it was not Obi, but the horses mouth has revealed the actors behind it.
I am not Sanwo Olu spokesman or defender so any extra talk is for your pocket. It does not answer the question of James Nwafor, the serial murderer who reigned for years in Saint Obi jurisdiction. A tight AGPA man who AGPA asked Police to recall to Anambra when he was transferred out.
Yea, same way it was said that Jonathan founded Boko Haram.
As you saw that your attempt to provide a logical explanation for how Obi was personally involved didn't fly, na to revert to horses mouth, with the Horse in question being a character like El-Rufai
Amigoss: There are lots of people who attack obi on this thread and don't get personal insults,rest this agenda
Same way there are APC persons on SM that once you attack Tinubu and APc they'd go personal.
That said, insult no dey kill person, the real threat is the violence meted to a person and their business interests...and we all know the group of persons that are in the habit of doing that.
With this,you mean sanwo Olu was behind the killing of unarmed protesters at Lekki toll gate
You hold am for neck for that side e dey point James Nwafor
Well I'm sure he now sees how terrible a point that was.
Every eke market day we see governors pushing for state controlled police, why can't they just relax afterall they're in the know and in control of what security agencies are doing in their state.
Ibime: Nothing happens in a State without a Governors consent, knowledge and clearance, and often his prompting, especially when he is chummy with the President like Obi was with Jonathan
So Obi can speak English all he wants, El Rufai knew the hand of Esau that detained him. Fight in Anambra was between APGA and APC and nothing consine PDP in Abuja except by Obis prompting
Same way Obi was unaware of James Nwafors abuses and murders in Anambra because "Police is a Federal Agency" when we all know Governors have major influence if not complete control over Police postings and behaviour in their states. Using English and technicalities to renovate themselves.
Stay one place, one moment you're saying it's Obi that arrested him, the next you're saying actually it's the FG that arrested him but it's Obi that told them what to do.
We've seen police officers stand their ground against elected governors in the state ...i.e with Obaseki and even Sanwo-Olu in Lagos.
Tomorrow you'd see them saying Sanwo-Olu was in the know on the end SARS massacre and you'd formulate another contradictory defense for him.
Yea, the literate ones know enough to thread the fine lines when making these threats but Okphebolo is too limited to thread such lines and that's why he sounds so brazen. All of them mean to say the same thing.
Not sure how BAT has managed to keep the Naira-USD rate stable, but it's one thing I can commend his government for. Doing even short term plans under the Buhari government was near impossible cause of how much rates fluctuated.
All things considered, Emefiele ought to spend the rest of his natural life in jail. The only reason the man should get any sort of reprieve is there's so many other persons in government that are just as criminal minded and did as bad if not worse in their little capacity.
raumdeuter: Why do you think he has not been squeezing Dino despite the disrespect shown to his wife?
He might not squeeze Dino, but I don't expect he'd be chummy with him either, meaning he does know to keep a grudge and draw lines, unlike what his fanboys might think of him.
Maybe your guy Tinubu given his deal making persona is less inclined to shut the doors permanently on a "deal/person". That's his style and it has served him over the years, he's not doing it out of the kindness and warmth of his heart (like Gloriousgbola might think), it's his weapon of choice in what has been a brutal rise to the top.
That said, there's a max bandwidth you can expend on dealing with opps, especially those you simply can't cut their heads off like you'd have done in say ancient Babylon. Abacha sef had opps in Nigeria while he was alive, many of whom he unlooked their opposition...maybe we should call him a mellow hearted man too.
GloriousGbola: the tyrant you love to hate is too mellow.
they should have made an example of fayose.
no one would cry for him.
Mellow ke, so you think if Fayose gave or was giving Tinubu serious body heat he won't have him in the dungeons like he has Emefiele?
As long as you're ready to work with Tinubu to aid his ambitions and unfettered greed, he's ready to play ball, no real principles, or red lines...I'm sure if Dino was ready to play ball he'd work with him too, despite the disrespect the man showed his wife.
TemporaryHansel: There was valuable intel that jega is compromised, this information came months before the election, but the weakling refused to sack jega.
Settle all the security chiefs properly, and let them do their thing against any foolish protestor causing anarchy.
The president of Nigeria wields unbelievable power, and you have to use it.
GEJ def lost the 2015 elections, JEGA or not, he had become quite unpopular and he did the right thing by stepping aside.
Ire should be reserved for those that found a Buhari with a documented history of incompetence worthy of being president, and not for the man that stepped aside.
People like Ibime that sang poem for Buhari DonJ that voted the man in 2015 and 2019 Raumdeuter that backed the Buhari ticket since 2003, and OasisX that stopped supporting him 6 months before the end of his tenure...these persons deserve scrutiny.
Unsuprisingly, most of these hardcore Buharists have found another incompetent candidate in Tinubu to support with as much fervour. While the likes of Buhari and BAT continue to get much deserved flack, we shouldn't forget to reserve some for their minions who's support continues to validate the misrule of these men.
Fadedvoiced: Theflint1 you don confirm am abi. See the sweet reply i cook for raumdeuter now, bot don delete am, ban me asap.
Why is the bot shielding raumdeuter?
You need dey more careful, new words have been added to the banned words...c°ornvict for example was added, words you no go expect have been added, even two of certain types of words coming together was added.
BlueRayDick: It has nothing to do with any VDM reopening any case .
Make una no Dey let opportunist activists use una head . The coroner inquest was sitting regularly at Ikorodu and all parties concerned were regularly attending .
The last sitting was in April and it was at that sitting they adjourned for a later date which they will deliver their final verdict . Below is the YouTube link to the news about the adjournment in April.
When u attribute superpowers to people like him , una Dey make dem see themselves as larger than life . He didn’t have anything to do with the coroner inquest making their report public .
Bin just wan know wetin dey happen exactly, cause I know it couldn't have been just a coincidence that the coroners findings and the direction of VDMs fresh investigation was pretty much validating eachother.
VDM must have been following the inquest, and seeing where the judgement was headed chose to preempt them with his supposed investigation.
