Imagine the embarrassment
Nigeria, a supposed Giant of Africa, attending a meeting of least developed countries!

Nwaetche:
My brother, this is unbelievable.

Akin to a man from Bayelsa coming to Rivers to tell us what do? Afonja, Afonja Afonja. Histroy indeed has a way of repeating itself.

True story

Omoawoke:
What of his own verified posts

GRV wil be retired this weekend
Then the guests that got too arrogant and think they can dominate us in our own land calling it a no man’s land will be put in their rightful place after this election

Una go learn to respect people’s boundary

Funny how peeps from Iragbiji, Ogbomosho, Ilesha, Offa are scandalizing a true Lagosian.
Sha, the Lagos abogrinals have themselves to blame for their slavery.
They're now slaves in their ancestral land.

Omoawoke:
Going to peoples land and saying this isnt a joke

Stop deceiving yourself
A Yoruba person is behind such posts

PureFace1:
NIgerian Army will crush Ghana Army within 24 hours.

NIgerian Army is not that equiped but Ghana is no match.

Make we hear word
Ordinary Boko Haram put una for work for over ten years

rickleye:
Exactly my thought process - Let him lead and you be his running mate this time around.

Yep
Let's say he's bigger than Obi. Ok, pair Obi with a northern governor eg Tambuwal or Bala Mohammed and sponsor the ticket.
His interest will be protected by Obi. But no, Atiku was just too greedy.

chrisxxx:
.
Somehow they say I be Wike mouthpiece. But people like u need hammer for head correction. Wike is from South South and South South still has a stake. As a matter of fact 2 out of the 2 PDP governors of south east backed Wike.
Wike was of the opinion that it was the chance of the south. Would Wike leave himself and drag for you? Are that lazy and lack lobbying skills?
Wike recently said that before the could decide on zoning Atiku had preempted the outcome of the zoning. Before the zoning committee could take a stand Atiku had bought form and the committee became helpless.
Wike didn't support Obi when the map of APC rigging was shown to him. He was taken into a secret room and he saw it all.

Hmmm

Karlifate:
😂💔

As funny as it sounds, the guy said the bitter truth
Biden was in no way a mate of Obama when he humbled himself and ran with him.

MikeofAfrica:
Atiku is just playing with your intelligent.

While Peter Obi was running for the PDP ticket, he also indicated interest in becoming Atiku deputy. Infact, he sent people to Atiku to lobby for his V.P Ticket.

However Atiku made it clear that he will run with one of the SS Governors. That was the agreement he had with the PDP governors that were loyal to him.

When Obi realised that he will not get the PDP ticket or V.P ticket, he decided to leave. Atiku was not bothered because he then taught Obi had no political value outside Anambra.

Obi has proven him and PDP wrong hence he is seeking for sympathy.

Thanks
This is the background story most people don't know.

ProphetM0hammad:
Next time, always use condom before having sex with an ibo girl


Now listen, i suspect you have gonorrhea but don't listen to what they are saying here and do self medication

Go to the lab tomorrow and do a test to be certain, that way, a doctor can quickly know which drugs to prescribe for you.

Once more, always use condom before having sex with any ibo girl

Paedophilia Mohammedan

In plain language, commit suicide

mykymyk101:
Get Tetracycline one sachet, Chloramphenicol 1 sachet and 1 plastic of Sapele water or any white gin.

Pour little of the gin away, add 3doze of tetracycline (6pcs) and 2 doze of Chloramphenicol(4pcs). You have to open the capsule, so as to pour the content into the plastic of gin directly.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to it.
Drink everything at once, don't mind the bitterness, you can get sweet.


Take this today and tomorrow morning, it will cure every damn infection from your system.

Remember play safe and stay positive.

LeonSaab:
yes but how many are in the SE......the north us not in contention, the SW is bot been challenged, tell us how many outsiders hold office in The SE mention one just one since Nigeria became Nigeria

Altine, a Fulani, was Mayor of Enugu.
Go and read your History.
Come to Igboland, meet the criteria and contest. Let's see how wicked the Igbos are.

LeonSaab:
lol there are several people from different parts of Nigeria holding power or offices across the SW, but move SE and its just them......but for una mind na because say una bold a rave for other regions and no one can challenge you for your land.....it's alright continue.....

Boss, leave your cocoon and travel out.
When I was in Kano, I knew Yorubas who were councillors and ward chairmen.

LeonSaab:
lol you that discriminate against your very own, you're now the one that will let an outsider run.....Akeredolus wife wanted to run for senate in her state, at the primaries she was locked out of the hall and told she is not one of them because of who she married, it is now the same people that will give someone from Osun chair to seat, dey dere dey deceive yourself

Yep
The same way folks like you from Offa, Ilorin, Ogbomosho, Iragbiji and Ilesha are discriminating and slandering a true Lagosian like GRV. That's politics. The useless Uzodinma already had a person for that seat and had to play senseless politics against Betty Akeredolu.
But you 'accomodators' should have given your wife the ticket in Ondo na.

helinues:
Pdp's state

Wike made the right calculation aswear. Upon how Gov Wike was frequent in Edo state during Gov Obaseki reelection, one would have thought Wike is an Edo resident.

The same Obaseki still had the guts to betray Wike without feeling any remorse. Where was Atiku during Obaseki's reelection? In Dubai

Why should Gov Wike be in the same camp with those who betrayed him openly? If you were Wike, would you support Atiku with Tambuwal and Obaseki in the same camp?

You said the bitter truth

Onyeka Nwelue abi Nwelue never struck me as an academic
I was wondering how a man with such looks would hold professorial positions in Cambridge and Oxford!
I'm not talking about the dreads. Men like Obi Nwakanma spot dreads and are great academics.

pendragonbladgo:
Igbo should learn this, they can't make it by mere religious claim or Biafra, they need to work with the Hausa or not, Atiku is sincere to the Igbos but this greed in their nature keeps destroying them.
Igbo started a causing problem since the inception of Nigeria, it seems its a curse on them, why not copy yoruba people, Tinubu win he won't win in 2015 so he allowed Buhari to go first using him to become president.

Please this is not hatred, this is a matter that every igbo should check. Politics is not mere buying and selling or going to school to pass, Politics is deep in the whole world!

The Igbos voted Shagari, Abiola, Tofa, Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, Jonathan and Atiku, so how are they greedy?!
You must be raving mad.
You people have been declared winners but you don't have inner peace of mind.
You keep thinking about the Igbos. Get a life.
Obi won Lagos. Atiku will never achieve that.

pendragonbladgo:
Seriously, had he mean he was a bit Patience and work with Atiku, and waited for his time.
No one will be talking about APC, Tinubu took advantage of vote division to win....

Not easy like that.
The foolish Atiku believed that he lost 2019 because Obi was from the SE. Obi got intel that Atiku wasn't disposed to picking him again. That's why he left.
With the showing of Obi and LP, it is obvious to all that Atiku enjoyed such numbers because of Obi.
Atiku should be ashamed of himself and lick his wounds privately. LP is the new opps.

Miracood2:
And we're still battling with common tarred roads in Nigeria.

Modified:



People like you are the reasons why we have been subjected to extreme poverty, by our politicians.

At this pace at which we are developing, If Russia is to pause her development for 300 years, Nigeria will still not be able to match Russia.

God bless you

Emilokoiyawon:
Name one Yoruba rep for Ibo land? Because we get like 6 Ibo reps for Lagos.

Stay in Ogbomosho and dream of becoming a Rep in Enugu!
The Igbo Reps in Lagos achieved that feat by hiding in Ekwulobia abi?! Keep deceiving yourself.
Don't travel out. Remain in your comfort zone.
History has it that a Fulani man was the Mayor of Enugu in the 50s.

tabaralph:
LMAOO… Tinubu is a feeble minded person?

Asin eh

Faber:
If you steal my property and I happen to know where you took my property to, I will not wait till 2024 or 2025 to reclaim my property from you. I must go immediately and apprehend you.

So my guy, we must get our mandate back. Atiku have no case in the Supreme Court. He is seeking an alliance because he wants to ride on Obi's wave to victory.

We are too separate parties

Of course, Obi has made that clear to all and sundry

Healthquest:
if obi repeat ds in 2027, he'll loose with wider margins

That depends on the performance of Tinubu and that of the people voted on the Labour Party platform

Dey play
Emotional ke
Man that left Abiola to go and serve in Abacha's government while his principal languished in prison
I see Shettima doing same to Tinubu

The presidential election was held on the 25th of February 2023. It featured four top contestants and a politically-woke populace, especially the youths.
Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Peter Obi (LP), Bola Tinubu (APC), and Rabiu Kwankwaso (NNPP) fought for the electoral spoils.
The numbers came in and we had plenty surprises. Peter Obi beat the Bourdillon strongman in his own home turf, Lagos State. Most Obidients swear to high heavens that the real margin between the LP standard bearer and his APC rival was five to six times the figures INEC presented. Peter Obi made men like El-Rufai and his garrulous son to swallow their words. He even won four states in the North, an unthinkable feat for a person from the SE. He won the polling units of a number of APC and PDP stalwarts and many believe he was rigged out.
The North delivered for Tinubu, contrary to the expectations of those wishing him him a repeat of the Afonja-Alimi episode. He did fairly well in the North and South. He lost his home state of Lagos to the LP and also suffered the same fate in his alleged ancestral home state of Osun to the PDP. He cleared the rest of the SW without breaking sweat. He got real numbers up North, he won Jigawa, Borno, Benue, Kwara and Kogi etc. His triumph in Rivers State made tongues to wag. It was a cruel joke to say the least.
Atiku Abubakar, a perennial contestant, did some average numbers in the northern parts and the southern parts. PDP could not pull much weight in the SE because of the Obi tsunami there. He didn't win a single state there. This is the first time PDP experienced such rejection in the East. As earlier stated he won Osun State in the SW and that was that. He managed to win Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom and got decimated in Rivers State as Wike promised to do. Up North, it was clear that he has never been a darling of the almajirai and talakawas. He won Adamawa, Bauchi, Katsina, Yobe, Gombe etc but never pulled the 'Buhari numbers'. Infact, the person that came close to that feat was Kwankwaso but he did that in just one state, Kano State.
All in all, Tinubu was declared winner even though he didn't get 25% in the FCT sparking another round of debates. Every Tom, Dick and Harry became legal experts of sorts. The inferno is raging in concert with the rigging wildfires.
The LP and PDP have rejected the outcome of the election and have vowed to seek legal redress and that's the subject of my essay.
The aggrieved aspirants and their supporters believe they have hard evidences of brazen rigging of the election. In this age of information technology and the social media, pictorial exhibits of recklessly doctored electoral forms have been flying all over the cyberspace. Videos of thuggery, ballot snatching and tampering of results have had a field day on various social media platforms.
The powers that be, US, UK, France, EU, ECOWAS, AU, etc have been speaking from both sides of their mouths. They have sent their congratulations and, at the same time, mumbled complaints about election irregularities. Goodluck Jonathan, apparently as an ECOWAS representative, visited Bola Tinubu and the pictures said it all: Tinubu is the President-elect and we should all move on. He visited the obviously disgruntled candidates of the other parties but the real message has been sent.
Personally I believe that Peter Obi won this contest or, at least, pulled off numbers to force a re-run or run-off election but he was played out by the Nigerian establishment wary of the man and his Obidient movement.
High hopes are being placed on the Supreme Court but I think we shouldn't get our hopes too high. Some might say I am feeling defeated, despondent or down but I think otherwise. I know too much of Nigeria's history to feel overly optimistic about the chance of getting justice at the Apex Court.
At a very tender age, my father told me about the 1979 elections and the Awolowo vs. Shagari fallout.
History has it that the Nigerian Supreme Court has never upturned the results of any presidential election conducted in this country. The aforementioned Awolowo vs. Shagari (1979) is a perfect example. Obasanjo vs. Falae (1999), Obasanjo vs. Buhari (2003), Buhari vs. Yar'Adua (2007) Jonathan vs. Buhari (2011) and Atiku vs. Buhari are practical examples of the fact I stated above.
The Supreme Court in 1979 delivered a judgement in favor of Shehu Shagari and stated that the judgement should not be used as a legal precedent! Why? Your guess is good as mine. In 2003, we experienced this FCT 25% fiasco and the Supreme Court decided to make Abuja to count as an ordinary state. Question is why give Abuja a special mention in the electoral act or law if it will still be counted as an ordinary state?! In 2007, the Supreme Court admitted that the elections were flawed and improvements were needed but Yar'Adua was still the winner! In 2019, Atiku's suit was dismissed with just three sentences!
I'm wondering why do they leave things like that. I think they consider the financial, logistical and security implications of overturning the verdict of the election-conducting body or ordering the repeat of a presidential election. Nigeria is very volatile and a little action can set it on fire.
With what I have seen, Peter Obi has a strong case. I hope he's an exception to the 'Nigerian Supreme Court' rule but I'm not hedging my bets on that. He has had a very good outing. With 10 Senators and 42 HoRs members, he can build a formidable structure. The Obidients should simply pray that those who have won and would still win with LP will perform very well so that Obi can claim the top spot in 2027. Anything short of that will be eagerly waiting for an 'Uzodinma miracle'. Let's hope that Justice Ariwoola would pull that off against his kinsman.

DeLaRue:
Nigeria is certainly lagging behind and should be doing a lot better in.many areas.

But some of the countries people are quick to compare Nigeria with have more than 300-year headstart over Nigeria.

Comparison is good, but we also need to be realistic.

Today, the pace of change is so fast, and the first movers ie Western countries and now some Asian countries are so far ahead, I don't know how African countries will catch up. The world system, including globalisation, is also not in our favour.

Egypt is struggling badly. South Africa has not progressed much economically. Ghana is on its knees. Most African countries are basket cases.

These days, the more I look at the world in my private moments, the more I fear we may never catch up with the most successful/developed countries in the world.

Our systems and our minset as a people are far removed from what they need to be for us to develop, let alone catch up.

Our population is growing too fast, faster than our economy, which means the country can't even maintain the status quo in terms of standard of living, let alone improving it. Too many of our people are not being educated. Those who think they're educated did not receive the right education.

We have simply not set ourselves up to compete.

Makes me sweat when I think about all these things, as I desperately want the best for the tens of millions of struggling people who need and deserve better.

Stop justifying backwardness

In the 60s, Nigeria was far better than the Asian tigers.
It took less than 40 years for China, Singapore, Malaysia and the UAE to build working systems.

Throwback:
"And" that exist without a comma?

The law states that "25% in 2/3 of the 36 States of the federation and Abuja,..."

Meaning 37 possible sources from which 25% can be obtained.

2/3 of 37 is 25 (to make it a whole)

Tinubu already secured 25% in 28 states.

So no case here at all.

If Abuja was an ordinary state, why give it a special mention?!
The clause should be expunged since it is not useful.
