He said initiate oo

I think initiating the process is different from the process making and amending laws.

It's the duty of the lawmakers to make and amend laws.

Hmmn. Nice one. Team up with innosson motors.

Government can't do everything or sponsor everything.

Innosson should find a way to harness all these talents, refine their skills and they'll get better.

It would make sense if an heavyweight from SE can contest for presidency though. Just that, I don’t know if there’s any politician from SE that’s popular enough to beat the competition.

APC will pick from SW, Umahi is just wasting his time begging his colleagues to try the SE for four years. Sadly, I think PDP desperately wants to return to power and they may try to use the North’s desire to hold on to power to their advantage, by fielding a northern Candidate.

Kingpin1000:
They should sue him.. this AFCON people no get sense, this clubs pay the Bills of these players, even when they are injured it is the club doctors who take care of them. Why can't Afcon be played during offseason.
For those who think it's because of covid, you need to have a rethink, this is long overdue. Covid is just an excuse. Afcon is the major reason why Ferguson did not buy Aftican Players.

We can’t play AFCON off season. It doesn’t work for us. Our weather will not allow. June/July is when it rains more in most part of Africa and pitches can be unplayable when it rains heavily. January/February suits us best. We are not to change for others. It’s a continental competition, European clubs have to accept it. Besides what’s off-season? When is off-season in Africa? Why must me we assume off-season in Europe is the same for every other continents?

Life in America is having too expensive. The 40% increase in inflation rate has even worsened the situation. No place like Nigeria if you have a good job.

Mexico may be a great place to live but there's no job in Mexico. Only holiday makers/tourists can enjoy their money there. Mexicans struggling to cross border to Yankee are in hundred of thousands across cali, utah and Las Vegas borders
No place like Nigeria if you have are benefiting from the dysfunctional system and corruption.

Okay. just like flu vaccines. Check up flu vaccines. When you understand why flu vaccines are taken yearly and why they only prevent hospitalization and serious illness but don’t stop you from contracting the influenza virus, you will no longer be confused about Covid.

Politics / Re: How We Foiled Jonathan’s Effort To Make Mulikat Adeola Speaker - Akande Reveals by Upton: 11:41am On Dec 13, 2021
EraseTheDot:

ACN had 6 Governors + Edo state, including 18 Senators and about 50 house of rep. members.

So, Jonathan cannot ask them to pick a member from ACN members to represent the SW?

Supporting a PDP member means empowering PDP against ACN in SW politics. Do you think ACN is like a mushroom party like APGA or YPP who would vote for any other party because they have nothing to lose.



- erase the dot

And so? What does having 6 governors have to do with the leadership of the house of rep? What does having 18 senators have to do with the house of rep? And how can a party of 50 members out of over 350+ produce the house leadership, in a country where democracy is practiced? Are you and Akande even thinking sef? Inshort they should have slapped Akande for even mentioning this in his book. There are different ways to dine with the devil. If they didn't trust GEJ or any of PDP options, they could have requested from someone they trust in PDP who is in the house or from the south west. They could have even lobbied for one of their ACN members who has a good relationship with PDP guys to deflect to PDP and look after their own interest from there. But no, they wanted power, they wanted to give a name to GEJ from ACN when they were minority. No matter how you look at it, they chose to power over the SW people. That doesn't matter now because it played out well for them, they have the VP today and are pushing for presidency. So in the long term, it paid the SW better.

EraseTheDot:

Stop grandstanding. Can't you read. Why was Jonathan reaching out to Tinubu & Pa Akanda for a candidate in PDP when he could have asked them for a candidate in ACN. They very well saw through his manipulation.

In the meantime, President Goodluck Jonathan was pressing for a government of national unity, with a bid of sucking ACN into manipulative extinction.”




-erase the dot


Is this entitlement or foolishness. A candidate in ACN? Minority ACN? How is that democracy? Even the US example he gave, the Republicans had majority in the house, so they could easily vote who they wanted as speaker. No president will give house leadership to a minority party because he wants to please certain people. Even if GEJ was being manipulative, it shows that Tinubu and Akande care more about power than their people since they would have only accepted the position of speaker if only it was given to their party. It's in the past anyway but this just proves that the actors in this story are greedy people.
