When most of Tinubu supporters talks, I wonder what they do think in their mind before talking.

Next year election is going to be difficult for all the contestants.

Both Atiku and Kwakanso are influential politicians up there in the north, and they are going to give Tinubu toff time in the same north where he puts his hope of winning the election.

With Peter Obi emerging as labour party candidate, it is certain that almost all the Igbo people in Nigeria will vote him. And it is certain that same Peter Obi will share some percent of vote with Okowa even down here in South South. So I don't think APC can win any State in the east and the south in the up coming election, which they have never won before.

And now, if Tinubu go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, I am very certain that most Christians in the west and the Christians in northern areas will not vote for him. Because even them Oyedipo, Adeboye, Kumuyi, Olukoya, Enenche, Odukoya and other Pastors will boldly tell their members not to vote a Muslim-Muslim candidates. Even the Catholic and Anglican priest and Bishops, will also tell their members same thing.

And u know what that means, It means even the west where Tinubu came from, the vote will be divided there between the Muslims and the Christians, and he will not also have the Christians vote in the north as well.

And with all this tribal, ethnic, religious and language division that buhari has caused all over Nigeria, it is certain that Tinubu can't win the north over Atiku and Kwakanso who is theirs

So, Tinubu supporters should always think before talking. Because even Tinubu himself knows that the election is going to be a hard one for him, and that's why he is finding it difficult to pick a running mate.

I am not a fan of him and I'll never hope that he becomes president. But sadly Tinubu is the only person that will pick substantial votes from all across the country except South East and maybe South south(becos this one Wike is meeting with APC governors ehn, it's scary)....he will get in southwest for obvious reasons, and all the 3 zones of the north by using their governors to buy votes....he may not win the entire north but whoever wins the entire north(I assume Atiku) won't be far in number from him.
For Atiku, he has lost a substantial part of his joker, the south east votes, the south south votes and now rivers very shaky....can he win overwhelmingly in the north to cover up for his guaranteed lesser votes in the south?
For Obi, he should win the south east if people like APGA and PDP governors decide to play politics with sense and see themselves with Obi as one. South south may still be won by PDP with obi a Close 2nd. It is very important that the new set of people that registered Gets their voter card and go to vote and watch the votes counted. Same is applicable in Lagos State. The north for Obi will be to get 25% of total votes, with the level of vote buying n poverty it may be difficult for an average voter in the north to see sense in voting labour...either they go with Atiku that they see as one of the ir own, or go with their governors that will distribute money and bread n rice to them on behalf of Tinubu, a substantial part of north west will also vote for kwankwaso that they love.

Pdp lost the golden chance by not managing Obi and Wike properly...the entire South south and south east that should be in the bag of pdp, they have lost ground. They are now left with fighting APC in the north which is a tough one.

Obi/kwankwaso is the third force that can do magic...so much talk about who should have stepped back to be vice. The result of the election will show who can get more votes across the country and who should have stepped down for the other in an alliance. I personally think Kwankwaso should have stepped back, 1. I think obi will get more votes and 2. I think it's logical to let a southerner go after 8yrs of a northerner.

Moferere:
Much hype.
But, is Baba Ammed truly a Nigerian?

No he is not, he is european

enonche85:
So long as it's declared, you can carry it in whichever form you want.

Ok

I'm happy for them. Must be a tough journey. However people should help others get informed. If it's science, ofcourse it's still God that made it successful, but mention science at least, so others without knowledge of it in similar situation can know. God protect and keep the twins and their parents.

enonche85:
Yes, there is a minimum limit you have to declare.

Do you have to carry it in cash....or in your account and please why would they want you to carry it in cash.

babyboy4every1:
The guy confess at the hearing today he's 21 and not 15 as initially claimed

This doesn't change the charge from organ harvesting..it's still organ harvesting

bizzibodi:
Let them plead guilty or insanity so that their sentences will be less.

Eventually that's what will happen. They will just want to explore all options to see how many charges they can knock off first

meobizy:
Where is the boy held at the moment? That is the part of the story no one talks about.

Nigerian news that never come with pictures don tire me. I don’t know if they are true or false these days.

He is in custody of the UK police....

Okealaaye:
I'm Yoruba, but I feel for Ekweremadu heartily. Ever since he was attacked in Germany way back, I've not stopped loving him and now I love his wife too. Whatever you may say about him I see him as a victim of both the process and workings of the System in which he has gained renown. Do not ask me why, but I see the Ekweremadus as being better than me only because they're richer; nothing more. And as God remains God forever, they're coming out of it all alive and unscathed.

Alive, yes. Unscathed? It depends on how u define unscathed......I pray the daughter gets a donor, and I pray her parents n David are judged according to the law of the land

SIMONEKPA7:

Right thing to do. God will judge that boy, knowing fully well of his journey to the UK but claiming ignorance and under age.
The IK's will come out strong . I am not advocate for naija politician but we must not say the truth

They were arrested for attempted Organ harvesting, whether the boy is 7 or 100 is immaterial. You think a privileged man, a distinguished senator and one time deputy senate president, in his 60s negotiates with a boy of 21 to donate kidney to his daughter for a better life is fair? Donating kidney is a decision a boy of 21(they said homeless) should take on his own? Because we have not heard about his parent or guardian.

Funflipper:
You think this rubbish can be happening under Tinubu’s watch? I don't think so.

Loooool...dem talk pass ds one wen Buhari dey find vote

Kingspin:
No CCTV footage of any kind?
Going by events across the country CCTV is a must project

The CCTV wey dey Lekki toll gate..d other day when Tinubu and sanwo Olu wan do their assignment, dem no off am?

Judolisco:
Pele iya omo lon Je eleyi bayi... U can't risk your other kids life by begging them to donate for their sister... Toor wahala Don xup now... I pray u make it out... D boy gets asylum either ways

Even if the boy lied about his age, the asylum too sure...his safety isn't guaranteed in Nigeria, and the fact that t he Nigerian National assembly the biggest law-making organ in Nigeria have made moves to lobby UK to temper justice with mercy is enough proof that the boy will be victimized

jrusky:
Ekweremadu it's quiet unfortunate you found yourself in this mess had it be Nigeria health system is top class will you be in prison in foreign land? No, ti's will be a lesson for you.

And again next time you will choose India if you are involving 3rd party in your medical issue and let's see how the 3rd party will get to India and be thinking to defraud you and be looking for asylum in India.

And for that greedy boy claiming under age just pray Ekweremadu is find guilty but if not find guilty your life is doom even your entire family go run kitikiti katakata by the time Ekwereand his wife get back to Nigeria then you will know greed kill easily.

Okay the boy is greedy but Ekwèremadu and his wife are not greedy...the political class create monsters with their greed and they will suffer a part of it. When the people vote u into position to look after them and u corner the resources for yourself alone, it's also betrayal and greed. A boy of (even if he is 21) that doesn't have the means to live a good life like your daughter is the one that should donate his kidney to your daughter...some of you deserve these leaders you have

Kobicove:
Nigerians are hypocrites...the same people criticising Ekweremadu for exploiting a poor person also have house girls and drivers working for them who they have not paid salaries for the past 3 months!

Is that one also not exploitation?!

Everybody exploiting underprivileged people will have their day somehow...Ekweremadus are having theirs, the ones abusing their domestic staff will have their

They should.stop being dramatic abeg..na prisoner exchange...all boko haram captives gone...are we a joke to you guys, just make sure you get the abducted people back safely as negotiated with the terrorists....make e no be say boko Haram carry buhari on handicap

enonche85:
If you going for a medical purpose it's mandatory to declare a certain amount to prove that you you are not going there to be a liability to anyone.

U have to declare that amount in cash?

I wont be surprised if she decamps to APC

Kaysalas:
Very Interesting how you have chosen what you want to see. Nice day bro

I can only choose or tilt towards what I see and understand, I may be wrong, others may view or see things differently, ofcourse the way I see Obi others may see him differently...I appreciate that...we all won't reason the same way and it's okay...like I said I MAY BE WRONG. But if I may ask, do you have a preference for the presidency come 2023, if yes who.

enonche85:
@bolded.....you the first i am hearing this from.

When my brother and his wife were travelling to the US to give birth to their 2nd child, it was said you have to declare at least $10k at the airport when entering for a medical purpose. So that of cash can be defended.

As reported by the reporter on TV the day the news broke, it was said that the police arrested them on their way to Turkey, and it is believed they were on their way to purchase an organ...
Of course the more money you have available the better for you, but to carry a lot of money in cash.....don't get me wrong, I don't know the maximum amount u are allowed to carry on u in cash but if it's about what u have in ur account or in your card, no issue about that. Was your brother and his wife mandated to declare that 10kUSD in cash..like carry-on cash?

Kaysalas:
So Obi wasn't part of that group right? >

I do not see him as a part of the group, the state he governed and the people he governed have been saying great things about him time, the man himself has been releasing interesting notes about his stewardship, when I see facts to suggest he contributed to mess on ground, I will review my position. And ofcourse if anyone genuinely thinks he is a part of the mess, it's okay to not vote for him too...my point is people should try someone else, different from what has failed us in the past.

If Tinubu or Atiku wins the next election, then Nigerians would have deserved all the economic hardship that would arise from that decision. SOme may talk of rigging, but we all know the major rigging is vote buying, so if Nigerians are "WISE" enough to sell their votes to either Tinubu or Atiku, who belong to the group that have made u poor, then they would have no right to complain
If something u have been trying does not favour you, It cannot be too difficult to try something new

na d master plan wey e wan extend to the whole of Nigeria be dis

This Machina ehn......na correct man e dey gime joy.. Lawan should go an rest..

Dsalvo:
They'll be set free if it is proven the boy is above 18 years. Below are UK guidelines for donating a Kidney. You may hate Nigerian politicians but the Ekweremadus may have broken no laws.

So is it up to Ekweremadu to tell the court that the boy is a willing donor..or it is the boy that will tell the court that he is a willing donor. If Ekweremadu says the boy chose to do it willingly and the boy says he chose to do it for money and promise of a better life, who do you think the court will believe. You also need to understand that the boy has been with the police, they are extracting information from him, proof of conversation, negotiation,all of that, they would have promised him better life,
Do you have the complete charge...let them come up with the charges, they have so much to deal with. Going to Turkey with 20kUSD to purchase kidney(do you think the police will throw that charge up without having solid proof, like tapped up conversation)..it's beyond the boy's age...

nkwuocha:
It's all adding up if we can actually see the political elites for who they are,wicked manipulative and treacherous.

They were caught trying to jet out of the UK.

That boy's parents may not even be aware of the development prior to their son leaving the country in the first place!

There's a possibility that the said guy isn't aware his organ is up for grabs!
If he was,he also have the rights to change his mind if there's no written documents to that affect,EVEN if there was.

The way he got his passport was also fishy, so the immigration in Nigeria is heavily unprofessional and corrupt.

Everything is adding up fine to me because I'm of sound mind and Know exactly what investigation is, something we lack in Nigeria.

U sound like I am trying to create a soft landing for the ekweremadus..I am only trying to connect the dots and rationalize why the ekweremadus will not get out of this..trying to point out that the investigators were definitely steps ahead of them and must have valid grounds to charge them.....and yes your points are valid

mbjsuki:
As much as I do not want to judge or pass any form of a verdict on this very matter. They may have innocently and ignorantly committed this act, in view of their class and position here in Nigeria. Allow me to say this, our recklessness can not be condoled in some places. Our recklessness and attitude to some sensitive issues like this will not be tolerated and we can not continue to export our shenanigans on matters like this for the world to see. We will be regarded as reckless and unserious people until we begin to do the right thing.
.

I also don't want to judge but it's difficult to believe that they may have committed this act ignorantly.....when someone has to go through organ donation, I want to believe the doctor and hospital will explain to them ways of getting a kidney donor, and implications of trying to buy one under the law. They won't just tell them hey your daughter needs another kidney and leave them to figure out how to get one

nkwuocha:
True that!But how possible is it that the said guy is a match.They should have extended their search right down to extended families and kindred.

Anyways,they should rot in jail for all I care.

There is this story that the boy is not a match, there is also another story that the doctor alerted the police after the boy claimed he was 15, there is something not adding up. I want to assume the doctor telling the ekweremadus the boy's organ doesn't match is a plan to lure the parent to the UK.....something is just not adding up

enonche85:
All they need to do is prove that the young man is 21 and not 15 as alleged.

It's beyond that... even if the guy is 60, by law kidney should be donated not bought, they also have to prove that the boy just decided to donate to their daughter for free, unfortunately for them if the boy has proof of some payment of conversation talking about payment, then it's over for them. Don't forget the boy has been with the police before the Ekweremadu's were arrested, he would have told them stories, they would have tapped up conversations of ekweremadus....the police also said they were on their way to Turkey to purchase another after the boy's organ failed....I don't think the UK police will just throw random charges if they don't have recorded proof of what he was going to do in Turkey...I also think 20kUSD cash found in him is too much to carry on you in cash.......For example, na example o, imagine there has been exchange of calls between ekweremadus and a known organ trafficking syndicate in Turkey, and ekweremadu was on his way to Turkey and had 20k USD on him and ekweremadu already told the doctor in the hospital that they have another donor and they are going to get the donor........how does he want to prove that his trip to turkey with that much money isn't to purchase another organ...see who God wan catch..no way out

oyatz:
The poor boy should have rejected their monetary enticement and remain in Nigeria instead of being the reason why a whole family is being troubled.

The nation needs lot of situation like this to expose these crooked, wicked leaders....they must have sense by force...if they steal they should spend it in the country....instead of sending their kids abroad, they should use the stolen wealth to build good schools at home, at least they will employ Nigerians, same with hospitals and manufacturing conpanies

Truthisunique2:
seeking attention

Atiku didn't need Ekiti to be buoyant when he still went to the entire Yoruba land and collected 46% in 2019 against their son osinbajo Fielding the Igbo they love to hate

If una like una support tinubu, it's his only zone and he no pass 65% max

Where e wan see 65%
