Jagaban awon okobo. You for no release am make your lord and masters show you shege.

You see this august protest, it must hold. The sponsors are big wig northern politicians. They saw that suicide bombing no touch you, protest cum revolution must touch you.

Moreover karma is the mother of all bitches. If e wan catch you, na for scrotum.
Later Igbos will say they are not advocating for protest.

I know the cancelled protest pained Igbos the most.

They don't like any outspoken Yoruba leader. Ohaneze Ndiboes have been running their mouth for the past few years throwing ethnic slurs but they think Bayo must keep mum because Yoruba must always be the posh matured tribe that just swallow every insult.
It is a culture shock to them. They preferred the very diplomatic Yoruba approach to issues, and cannot fathom why Yorubas have now become full-frontal like themselves.

I am loving this new Yoruba aggression.

Never calm down for those who are themselves aggressive. They will still abuse you on top of your diplomacy.

Na gbas-gbos will finally lead to the reform of this country.

I have seen recent videos of President Biden and coupled with the information released today (Wednesday 17th July), that he has contacted COVID-19 again, I would wager that he will quit the presidential race before the end of this month, if not by end of this week.

Most top Democrats both in the Senate and House of Representatives, are now piling more pressure on Biden to drop out and take care of his health.

Indeed. The short man in Abia get praised messianically for constructing a footpath by the same people who will rant about National minimum wage and back Ajiero to cripple Nigeria with 59 days workers strike.

Yet the hypocrites with hidden agendas will never drag their own Kinsman Governor paying below the old minimum wage of 30k and even owing arrears.

Omokri is a proper diamond geezer. Somebody give the man a job pullleaaase. He needs to replace Ajuri Ngelale who is competent but can never go Gangster on IPOB asses like Omokri.

Tinubu needs this guy in an official capacity asap because those flat.heads are stubborn, treacherous and don't quit.
He is doing a fantastic job without any official recognition.

That is good as it is.

No Kanu Nwankwo, No Okocha, no Samuel Peter, no chioma Ajunwa (the first black African woman to win an Olympic gold medal in a field event)


Nonsense list.
For Ajunwa, go back to school and learn what 21st century means.

For Kanu, his 2-time African footballer of the year and UEFA Cahmpions league gold medal all happened before the 21st century. Same reason George Weah that even won both African Footballer and the Ballon D'or in 1995 is not listed.

Okocha, despite his skills, did not win anything personally or even any trophy, whether before or during the 21st century.

Sometimes, it pays to be objective and rational in thought.
Politics › Re: Tinubu’s Economic Team Worst Since 1999 — Coalition Of Northern Groups by Throwback: 11:24pm On Jul 19, 2024
Remman:
Na Hausa people i pity most because apart from Datti the was the VP candidate of the LP in the 2023 general elections and a very very few others, the vast majority (including Sultan, Emirs) of their politicians (at 99.99% ratio) are Fulanis. So it would have been best to tag it northern fulanis.

We all know that Tinubu has failed beyond Buhari's failure. In some country, the economy would be under a state of emergency such that government would provide farm lands either as short or long term loans to real estate agents for farming purposes and flood the country with excess food. But the man and all the governors just don't care, they believe in structures that they will be remembered for like Absolum than the lives of Nigerians at risk. However, LGA autonomy would play a bigger role but it won't be felt now. Insecurity can reduce as LGA chairmen can form LGA vigilantees and keep them on low pay to secure their areas.
How is Datti Baba-Ahmed from Mauritania a Hausa?

This was the prayer that finished Peter Obi's presidential ambition.

You can lie to man, but cannot lie to God.

The Anambra money he domiciled in his bank that made him profit, was not a service to the people.

The money he was hiding in secret Pandora offshore accounts under his daughter's name only after he became Anambra Governor, was not a service to the people.

Then you dare want to include God in your deception?

Haba megida!

Very Good one from the Netanyahu led Government.
I Stand with ISRAEL 1000%.
This is a thorough BIBLICAL Decision that the ISRAELI of today has proclaimed.


ISRAEL is GOD ALMIGHTY CHOSEN LAND AND NATION GIVEN Fully to the Jewish People.
No being, human, Spirit or Nation has any right to Divide GOD'S Land Under any guise.
Not even the Jews of today have the right under any guise or talk to do Such.

Any being or nation who is hungry for such can create Palestine state in Europe or America.

Dividing GOD'S LAND under any guise will bring about Calamities , Destructions and Desolations, the kind the Earth has Never seen since Creation.

Prime Minister NETANYAHU is Definitely Selected and Ordained from above to lead ISRAEL in these Endtimes.
You are far gone in this your fanaticism.

eduli:
After all his government was better than we have it today
Actually, by now the 5parties = 1party state government would have continued to rule without any democratic freedoms that you now enjoy.

His son would have been preparing to take over from him like it happened in Togo with the Eyadema family.

Maybe Peter Obi would have continued working for the Abacha civilian regime, managing all the ports.

OBJ would have died in prison like Shehu Musa Yar'Adua.

Diya, Olanrewaju, and Adisa would have been executed later in 1998.

Sgt Rogers would have continued with his killer squad to eliminate any high profile Nigerian that oppose the Abacha government.

Abacha would have continued to promise that workers will smile soon, but would have continued to fight inflation better than the actual governments that came after him.

N1 coins could have remained useful, while labour might now have been fighting for N11,500 minimum wage.

IfnobeGod20:
Even after I told you that APP was adopted for the benefit of the presidential election after ANPP and AD joint ticket, you still went to screenshot election template for me. It's good to be following through one comment, very important.
The political parties are PDP, ANPP and AD. No abracadabra.
I am still insisting that APP was the forerunner of ANPP.

Mahmud Waziri was the national chairman of APP that Oloye Olusola Saraki tried to bribe before the APP presidential primary with N30m cheque from Societe General Bank which he owned and was board Chairman.

Mahmud Waziri would later take a ministerial role in the newly inaugurated OBJ government, like Bola Ige of AD who was given the Power and Steel portfolio before being moved to Justice Ministry months later.

ANPP only came about as a name change towards the 2003 election.

I have given you evidence from a world renowned political center that monitored the political process and democratic transition in Nigeria, but you choose to remain uneducated and ignorant. That is your own loss.

I know what I know because I have been following political parties since the 5 leprous fingers of Abacha that endorsed him.

When it comes to political history from 1996 onwards, when Sumner Dagogo Jack headed NECON and always appeared on Tonight at 9 with Cyril Stober on NTA network news on Saturdays, I am a breathing encyclopedia.

Why I chose to study engineering instead of history or political science, still baffles my family.

Please go back and read again, I did mistake and posted wrong one. I have corrected it.
See attached the final report of the Carter Center on the 1998/1999 democratic transition in Nigeria.

The center was run by ex President of USA, Jimmy Carter.

You can see that the final 3 parties are PDP, APP and AD.

APP became ANPP just before the 2003 elections campaign began in 2002.

IfnobeGod20:
I have screened shot the political parties in Nigeria as at 1999 here for you to clear your doubt.
One thing about some of you that are. Tinubu's supporters is, you always what everyone to see Tinubu as a messiah and a person that is infallible. You claimed AD was factionalised that was why Tinubu left them and that was why I asked why didn't Tinubu stayed and correct the abnormalities in AD instead of running away, because in Nigeria I don't see any perfect political party, every political party have one issue or the other. Remember when Tinubu left the party in 2006, the party still fielded candidates for election. The party didn't die or scrapped and still in existence till date.
The bottom line is, Tinubu left a party still in existence and everyone knows why he left the party. Any how you wish to colour it, Tinubu defected to a new party. I can still remember that late Odumakin always say Tinubu betrayed Afenifere and they will never forgive him, just because he left their party, AD.
The screenshot is wrong.

APP existed before becoming ANPP.

Infact the Abdulsalami regime newly formed parties in 1998 were about 10, but after the initial local government elections for which a votes performance parameter was set, they were pruned down to 3, which included the lastly formed AD.

Did Peter Obi leave APGA and formed a new party or he went to the ruling party were food was ready?

Your analogy on Tinubu's departure from AD, where he left with most of the former Governors and all the elected officials from the party, is not the same as 1man decamping to join another party.

Tinubu left the party with his own faction and left behind a carcass for Obasanjo and PDP to continue to toil with and destabilize.

All that is happening now is pre-campaign.
Politics › Re: Balami Dumps Obi, LP, Returns To APC by Throwback:
IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, you're talking to an adult and not a kid.
The bigger question you have refused to ask yourself is, why did Tinubu left AD? AD was still an active political party when Tinubu left them. If he so much believe in building party, he should have stayed in the party and weather the storm with them but he left it to merge with JP and ACP to form AC. Remember AD did not die as at the time he left them, even till date. Only they changed name to ADP.
Now, let me tell you why he left the AD, because he has no control of the party and his vision is to become the president of the country one day and that was why in all his 8 years as a governor, he was just playing politics while his commissioners were the one working for him and luckily he has many cerebral commissioners that can think out of the box for him. That is why you see anyone that dare him are always boxed and brushed aside. Tinubu was the only governor that used 3 deputy governors In a space of 8 years in the history of Nigeria because you dare challenge him. He was totally in control of political structure because of future ambition of becoming a president. That's why you see him poking his nose in all the states choosing who and who to be governor or that.

Now, on the issue of SDP. Have you asked yourself the question. Why didn't Tinubu reactivate SDP when he came from exile in 1998 and who later reactivated SDP? The bottom line is, SDP made Tinubu a senator and he started his political journey from SDP and that cannot be taken away from him, just the same way those that began their political journey from NRC cannot deny their root. As Tinubu always say he is a party man, SDP is a part and parcel of him and the only political party still in existence more than 30 years now, no logo changed.

Point of correction. During Abdulsalam we only have PDP, ANPP and AD. It was after the joint ticket of ANPP and AD that they formed APP for the sake of the election.
Point of correction, it was APP that later changed name to ANPP, just as AC changed bame to ACN.

The military government of Abdulsalami Abubakar was allowing formation of new parties and not a revival of old parties that were linked to the June 12 crises. So it was not Tinubu's place or any of the party chairman of thise old partues, like Tony Anenih, to re-establish any of SDP or NRC.

Jusf as Awolowo and Azikiwe did not re-establish AG or NCNC when the military government finally allowed a return to democracy that was planned for 1st October 1979.

So please stop making a foolish argument on that matter by comapring what was reestablished after many years of this current democracy, to the democratic rebirth that was allowed in 1998.

That AD, was highly factionalized from 2003 to 2006, is no news to those who followed politics closely then. A party that had about 3 different politicians claiming to be party national chairman to the benefit of Obasanjo's PDP. Yet, Tinubu chose to start again from zero with his own faction in a new party.

Tinubu did not dump the party to join the party in government or to join another opposition party. Instead, his own faction of AD merged with other politicians from different parties and formed a new party as foundational members as opposed to political prostitutes or ticket hunters looking for ready food in an already established party.

Then after changing name from AC to ACN, that same party went into a bigger alliance to form APC.

We all know the political success achieved by APC and Tinubu in sacking the incumbent PDP government and also producing 2 Presidents from the party, so no need to delve further.

You can choose to continue deceiving yourself that your beloved political prostitutes and ticket hunters who do not have the patience and dedication of Bola Tinibu, can achieve from the scratch the success that Tinubu achieved by building from ground zero and waiting for his turn.
Politics › Throwback: When The 5 Parties Endorsed General Sani Abacha by Throwback(op):
In a bid to return Nigeria on the path to democracy, the Abacha military junta allowed for the formation of 5 political parties in 1996 to replace the previously existing 2 parties (SDP and NRC) that participated in the June 12, 1993 presidential election that was conducted by the Ibrahim Babangida regime, which the Abacha junta had disbanded after taking over power from the interim national government of Ernest Shonekan in 1993.


Those Abacha 5 parties,

1. United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP)
2. Congress for National Concensus (CNC)
3. Grassroot Democracy Movement (GDM)
4. Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN)
5. National Center Party of Nigeria (NCPN)


would later adopt Abacha as a consensus candidate in April 1998, with only some of CNC politicians (Alhaji MD Yusuf and Tunji Braithwaite) putting up some resistance and going to court on that matter, but the Appeal court rejected the suit by claiming it lacked jurisdiction over the case.

The aim of the Abacha transition programme was to hand over power to a democratic government on 1st October 1998.

National Assembly elections already held on 25th April 1998, while gubernatorial and presidential elections were scheduled for 1st August 1998.

Abacha died on 8th June 1998.
