We hear that Tinubu said that come 2023, he would run with a Muslim NorthWesterner as vice-presidential candidate. This was in reply to Northern elders who told him that they would NEVER accept a Christian running mate from the North. The simple implication of the above statements are as follows. The North cannot accept a Christian from their stock to be a vice President and Tinubu has no issue with that. This is so because he believes that the Christians in APC like Boss Mustapha, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, etc are inconsequential to his dream of ruling Nigeria. What stops a credible presidential candidate from impressing it on his Northern friends that the need to allow for equity in the polity by allowing him to run with a Christian as a running mate? A big question for the Nigerian Christians and indeed all well-meaning citizens of Nigeria is "What is wrong with allowing a Christian from the North to be Nigeria's Vice President?" One would have expected Tinubu to question his hosts as to why the Christians in the North are not good enough, rather than assuring them that he would choose a Northern Muslim as a running mate? Is Tinubu now more interested in satisfying the Muslim North only or does he believe truly that the Christians are truly inconsequential? Perhaps the latter is the correct perspective of Tinubu's presidential dreamland. Tinubu's love for a Muslim-Muslim ticket did not start now by the way. It was said that prior to Buhari announcing Osinbajo as running mate, Tinubu was in fore-front pushing for a Muslim Muslim ticket with Buhari. It was said that for the stance taken by the likes of Bukola Saraki, and perhaps Buhari himself who saw it as a suicide mission, Tinubu saw no issues in intentionally violating the Nigeria secularity and religious balance between the two major religions in Nigeria. I know some folks would like to strike off the religion card as irrelevant, but I dare ask what would happen if a Southern President like Jonathan had picked another Christian as running mate, what the same folks would have said.
In the second assertion from the same statement, Tinubu was said to have asked his friends to forget about the South-South and Southeast, as the two regions are inconsequential, so to speak. This is not only insulting but a slap on the people of the two regions. A credible presidential candidate would have been sensitive to his or her utterances but not the Jagaban. He believes that he only needs the North and his SouthWest region to become president. That statement is a big pointer to where his presidency would like to serve. He has indirectly announced beforehand that his presidency would effectively exclude these two regions, thereby towing Buhari's 5%er analogy and clear relegation of the goose that lays the nation's golden eggs.It is on records, that the successive Nigerian governments have been insensitive to the yearning of the SE and SS for inclusiveness and resource controls, respectively. The current Nigerian structure favours the "assumed" majority tribes or oligarchy, who have remained indifferent to the need for equity in the Nigerian nation. Weeping up these known injustices even before being nominated as a candidate of any political party is a suicide mission for a jagaban presidency, I dare say. An astute and sensitive politician would at times like this choose his words and not boisterously and hauntingly see himself as the man the cap fits. Perhaps hindsight would have reminded Tinubu that the harmless statement attributed to Obafemi Awolowo, that he would definitely 'probe the outgoing military regime' at the onset of his campaign in 1979 made him lose to a little-known Shehu Shagari. Those who boast of their following and as such throw caution to the winds as Tinubu has started with, end up losers, bitter, and sometimes resort to self-help. The seeming inconsequential statement of the Jagaban also stems from the fact that the two regions of SE and SS are predominantly Christians, So, we wish him luck in his luck!

Flouting court orders when you are not Buhari ... you can guess what the court might decide next.

My good friend and secondary School classmate Buhari's ADC Colonel Yusuf Dodo tested positive for covid too. Wishing him and the others a quick recovery. Amen

Buhari must have tested positive. I hope it is Omicron because if it is the Delta variant, hmm! The vaccine can only help those without serious underlying illnesses.

BECAUSE GOOD MUSLIM COUNTRIES DON’T ACCEPT RIBA (INTEREST) IN BUYING AND SELLING OF THEIR GOODS.

HAVE YOU WONDERED WHY AN HAUSA BUSINESS MAN IS MORE SINCERE IN HIS BUSINESS DEALINGS THAN OUR FELLOW SOUTHERNERS.

VERDICT: HOLY BIBLE AND QURAN ARE AGAINST RIBA (INTEREST)

FINALLY OLE NI EVERYBODY

Problem of muslims are their self delusion and deception. Millions of muslims purchase homes on mortgage, pay the mortgage monthly, which includes interests, yet turn around and claim their religion forbids interest. What a way to deceive oneself.

pansophist:
Buhari is the convenient scapegoat lots of folks with blame on, to justify why they are failures to themselves. Even fat person sef, will blame Buhari because it is Buhari that made you fat. Losers will always be losers.

Just the same way you have continued to blame GEJ, military regime, etc for your failure. You lot went to Ojta to dance in 2012, now petrol is headed for N400 and your voice has been silenced. Make fimm and soldiers go use you for shooting practice as they did at Lekki tollgate.

See who is talking. A parrot that spent 6 years looking for who to blame for their failure. They have spent 6 years blaming oil price, Jonathan, PDP, Saraki, even going back to blame military that left government as far back as 1999. Even last week, they were blaming Niger Delta militants. Soon they will blame God. Bunch of confused failures.

The evil party, APC must be sent packing and into political oblivion come 2023. Nigerians were warned about this Advanced Poverty Creators group but did not listen because one fake pastor was included among 70 thieves to make them look like good people. Today, the same Nigerians are groaning under the yoke of poverty, insecurity, hopelessness, kidnapping, banditry, etc., while their leaders ravel in corruption, lies and demented lifestyle. Our hospital have been reduced to mortuaries with no electicity to power them, our army in dissaray and the Naira depreciated over 500%.
Anyone still talking of APC in 2023 should be stoned, not just with satchet watrr but with pebbles and bricks.

The reverred stool of Ooni of Ife is being dragged in the mud by this messed up story. First, there was a stu.pid denial and supposed hacking of Olori's social media platforms.
Sometime, silence is golden, but no, the media handlers of Ooni chose the APC's senseless approach. Now, we will hear from Olori and your guess is as good as mine ... it will be epic!

Merry Christmas anyhow. Trully Christmas sweet pass for Naija. Here na only you and your family, unlike Naija wey you fit go joint go chop better nkwobi and assorted. Cruise as you like till cocoroko. Here no cock dey crow ooo! But sha, no bandits to worry about and nothing like ... up Nepa!

It is time Kano people start #endHisbah protest and chase out all these foolish and backward mentalities. This is 2022 and the world is moving forward, but hisbah is going back to medieval lifestyle.

Please, OP, I hope the money they gave you for this epitle is worthwhile, because if na only BMC change, I go vex

Next mmediately change the topic to APC nembers who want to remove Oyetola. That said,, as you go about doing that, just know that PDP is reclaiming her mandate in Osun. Remote control will be checkmated this time around.

So said the Nations aka Asiwaju publicity news media. Which senate? Lawan led? Mtchew!!

Good play, but no action.
Only a Saraki senate had actions, not Lawan without balls

respect80:
So every other thing in the bill has to be rejected just because of this?
This administration never fails to demonstrate how clueless it is when it comes to matters of utmost importance.

All NASS need to do is delete the direct primaries and return to Mr Predident. No time to waste.

Validated:
No need to spend billions on irrelevant processes. The biggest and stable democracies do not waste such a humungous amount on direct primaries that would end up creating confusion with fictitious results like that of Anambra APC.

Here are some reasons to jettison the idea of direct primaries:
i. It is based on an open ballot system. If the open ballot is acceptable at party primaries, why is it not acceptable in the election proper?

ii. Cost would be prohibitive and the process would be cumbersome. There are 774 LGAs, so for every LGA election, the electoral bodies at the state level would first conduct primaries for all political parties at the council and chairmanship level. Then INEC will conduct primaries for all state assembly candidates for all parties at state level, then conduct for NASS for all parties and governorship for all parties. This is absolute nonsense.

iii, Duplication of efforts, as parties primaries would amount to INEC conducting elections before elections.

iv. Resources needed would be too much to make any meaning. INEC does not have such resources

v. All political parties would now need to amend their constitutions to reflect the requirements of the electoral act, which is nonsense. Political parties are private "vehicles' for seeking political offices, if the electoral laws do not govern how their structures and organs are constituted, why govern how they pick their candidates?

vi. Multiplicity of membership, how do INEC and the parties control list of membership? Meaning a political party could influence candidates for the opposing party by proxy membership. That is one person could hold both APC as well as PDP membership. All a smart politician would do is to create proxy membership of the opposition and use his proxies to vote for a weak person in the opposition.

Please, Mr. President should ask NASS to delete the direct primaries insertion and sign a sustainable electoral law. The direct primaries' insertion is myopic and self-serving!

I made above on Nov 4 and some dumb heads were attacking me. It look like Buhari just summarised my post in reply to NASS.

psucc:
And that's the kind of direct primary they want to push into the Constitution.

Abioooo! Nonesenss direct primaries they want to sneak into electoral act; everything done by Buni-led illegal NWC is null and void, including ward, local govt, state congresses
Even the planned national convention is ready null and void ab initio. I know PDP is just waiting and silent let APC bury itself first. I reserve my comments.

Oga, nobody is protesting. Buhari did not decline signing it for no reason. Those who inserted controversial direct primaries should delete it and return to the president for accent. Stop disturbing NL.

The Nation aka asiwaju thinking aloud

Please, where do you have a four-bedroom detached home in Abuja for sale. Approx size of 3500sqt on atleast 100×160 land. Share picture and cost. I am looking for solid building in safe location, not surburbs and lowlife areas please. Age between 0- 10 years max.

Mariangeles:
Truly, I’ve always wondered how those who’ve always lived in their state of origin feel, having no other place to “look forward to”, to visit, to call “home”. Especially when it’s a city.
To think that Lagos, as chaotic as it is, is someone’s “home” is kinda disturbing.

You read my mind. For me, I live in outside Nigeria, so I sometimes pity those who are born in sayCanada and have lived all their lives in a country where they face about 4 months of real cold with only 4 or so months of summer. For me, I have options, Nigeria (abuja ir Lagos), village.

Russia is just doing shakara. They will withdraw soon. Nothing dey happen, na bullying. Unfortunately for Putin, the West are waiting for him to strike and Russia will become 50 years behind today. Ask Iraq and Lybia.

ArewaNorth:
If road construction is achievement then Jigawa state Governor has the highest achievement in Nigeria. In 6yrs Badaru Talamiz built 93 roads, about 1516km and still constructing without any media publicity.
See this one from oil rich Rivers State is celebrating ordinary 15km and some people are praising him.
Very sad!

My friend, I am not here to praise Wike. However, to construct 15km road in Rivers is equivalence of constructing 250 km in Jigawa. The far north is just grassland. All you need is a bulldozer and grader. In souther Nigeria, especially riverine Nigeria, you need more than that. You need to buldoze trees, some mangroves. You need to sandfill the road, you need to build bridges and construct curvettes, you need to fill the road with fast drying cenent mixed with concretes. All these you do not need to do in sahel savannah. Then you can not tile with just bitumen mixed with gravel but high grade pure nylon tile and granite. So, co.ck your guns and sit back. Rivers and any South South are no mates to the north. Since you are supposedly statistically incline, just ask Amaechi how much the coastal rail will cost compated the mararaba rail.

seunmsg:
The part in bold is what you're going to present in court as evidence of Tinubu's corruption and abuse of office as governor, right?

See, if you are looking for a real life clown, look straight into a mirror. I am very sure a clown will stare back at you.

You know no jack about forensic accounting investigation, so keep shut. You can continue running from thteads to threads defending an ignoble rogue for all I care. A thief can hold sway for 20, sometimes 30 years. But one day, all that will be exposed. Ask the Mugabes, Mobutus, etc. One benevolent dictactor is all it takes to clean up these messes... and you know what, Nigeria is close to that juncture.

cocolacec:
```"One state we investigated most during my tenure as EFCC Chairman is Lagos. We sent information to all our allies in the Metropolitan Police, the FBI etc. I remember I told the National Assembly when EFCC could not get any wrong about Tinubu in Lagos, I said we must wait for the international community because they were also doing their investigation. We were all waiting to expose Lagos corruption but even the international community didn't indict him, they found nothing. That is why LAGOS under Tinubu was the only state EFCC didn't charge to court....."```

No wonder PDP investigated him from 1999 till 2019 without finding anything. The GEJ administration did everything possible to find something that can stick. When they couldn't get, they fabricated some allegations about operation of foreign accounts that had no link to Tinubu and charged him before the CCT. He trashed the Jonathan administration easily at the tribunal.

So young man, go and read up on what has happened in the past before posting rubbish. If you know more that those that PDP used to investigate Tinubu for 16 years, you are invited to do the investigation yourself. The FOI act is there to help you. We are all waiting for the outcome of your investigation.

Confused clowns.
You do not need pythagoras theorem to prove that Alpha-BeTa (ABT)= Ahmed BolaTinubu (ABT). ABT remains a conduit pipe for syphoning Lagos State money sincec1999 - 2021 and unto foreseeable future, until the slaves like you wake up.

Day break North. Behold your "messiah", el Buharia! Your wailing s just starting. By the time Buhari finishes with Nigeria, even Shehu Garba and Femi Adesina go get sense by force.

Wahala dey

Like every well brought up young man, I'm in my early 30's and really doing fine at least I'm not begging for anything from anyone.

I set out this year to wife my girlfriend whom I had dated for 2 years but her character made me think twice so we broke up and I moved on. I have tried to make friends with matured ladies in the church I worship but it's been from one bad experience to another.

Ever since I started looking for a woman to call my wife I have been meeting different characteristics of women.
Within the space of 1 year I've met one who is a maniac, one I met at a hangout didn't hesitate to show her lazy attitude the day she came to my place to see I'm a bit comfortable, another one I met recently in church turned out to be a thief.

2021 is almost over and I'm yet to find a wife. Where do you advice I go in search for a good woman?

Wife material scarce oh!

Just go to a river bank, collect clay, mold her and ask God to breath into her. You are so selective and I guess even if a dozen angels come your way, you would find some fault. My question is, are you perfect? You seek perfection ... tooo! Guess you will run into a pretending demon if you continue in this manner of finding faults.
You have been in church and cannot find, been in hangout, you cannot find, then go to brothel

DubaiLandLord2:
Peter Obi is the biggest thief

Did you see Peter Obi on either threads? You cannot derail truth my friend.

Just to follow up on the thread that asks Nigerians who would they vote for among the trio of Atiku, Tinubu and Osinbajo. I feel it would also be wise to discuss who of the three is the biggest thief and scammer.
In employment screening, you would refer to an individual's antecedebts and past behaviour to predict his future behaviour. What do we know of these men? What are their level of crookedness in the past that can be referred to to predict the future, if voted to the highest office in the land? If a man has lived his life as a thief, scammer or crook, there is every tendency that he would continue in that line. So opening the Nigerian treasury to such an individual would open Nigeria to more depletion of scarce resources.
So, the question is who amongst these three is the biggest thief?
Please, may I implore the mod that pushed the first thread to front page to be bold enough to oush this to front page also. What is good for the goose should also favour the ganders.

I predict that Lai will soon be a victim of what he defends. Soon, very soon.
