Are you Playing  ! ThankUUJesus: Tinubu has already destroyed Nigeria in less than two month and beyond repair. I think Obi should forget about the judiciary and let Tinubu continue because at this point Nigeria is already shattered and waiting to implored. No need for obi to come and waste his time trying to fix Nigeria. To me Nigeria is gone. Even 2 Peter Obi cannot fix what Tinubu has destroyed. How can the exchange rate be brought back to 400, it's impossible...things has gone really bad and at this time, I don't think Obi can do anything again, highest he will fix the refinery and increase production but things would still be bad. The did has already been done. PO please relax and let them fix Nigeria by themselves or get it destroyed completely by themselves. |

Family › Re: Should I Allow My Mother-in-law In Our Home? I Need Advice by Vichyke2: 10:04pm On Mar 29, 2023 |
Remind your wife what she did to you mom. Then refuse to let her mother stay with you but stay in another siblings house and send money for her upkeep. The siblings were aware when she pushed your mom away and they didn't caution her... They should carry this cross but you must send money for upkeep since your doing better than them. Candid suggestions. ozalogbo: I am the first child of my mother, and I have two younger male siblings. I am doing well financially. My wife is the last of four children in her family. My dad died when I was still in the university, and this affected my mum.
However, as she aged, her health waned. She was a retired teacher. My brothers are not in the country. Both of them are in Europe. I wanted to have my mother stay with me in her later years because of her health and loneliness but my wife did not want it.
Whenever she was ill and I brought her home to be with us, my wife was usually hostile, especially if my mum had stayed beyond a week. She did not hid her disapproval, and this caused problems in the marriage. People advised that I should send my mum away and pay someone to live with her and take care of her. They said that marriage was between a man and his wife, not between a man, his wife, and his mother. I did and peace returned. Eventually my mum passed on after a few years.
Along the line, my father in law also died. And down the line, my mother in law's health began to deteriorate. We live in the same town. Among my wife's siblings she is the only one doing quite well. Now there are suggestions that the mother should come and live with us so that my wife can give her proper care. I believe that her living with us and seeing her grandchildren will help her. And indeed i have no problem accepting her, but when i remember the treatment my wife gave to my mum, there is a strong revulsion, in fact, anger in me. I shared with a friend, and he advised i forgive my wife, but the revulsion is so strong that i would feel cheated if i agreed.
What do you guys think. She reminded me then that marriage was between a man and his wife only. Shouldn't this also apply to my wife now? |

Don't expose your foolery... Where you the one that impeached OBI? Protect and guard your Idiocy Common sense is not Common. NigeriaIsGreat: Nigerian baby politicians and their ego. Amaechi confessed he is scared to enter his State because of Wike.
Is that the President Nigeria needs? While Tinubu was a deliberate and methodical politician, Osinbajo was drafted into politics.
There is nothing in his nature that indicates he would not have happily remained a comfortable middle class lawyer had he not met Tinubu.
Meanwhile Tinubu is a politicians Politician. A deliberate leader of leaders. He was a Senator in his late thirties.
He was fighting Abacha in an organised fashion, through NADECO, at an age most Nigerians today are still trying to decide what they want to do with their lives.
Amaechi, Osinbajo etal should drop ego and support Tinubu or they can get lost. How many battles have either won and what battle has Tinubu, who has faced more than most, lost?
Some will mention Obi. The coward was pleading with OBJ on his knees yet still got impeached. Tinubu not only stood up to OBJ but totally retrenched Obasanjo's influence, through the PDP, from the SW.
Nigerians are too petty and tribalistic. If not it will be obvious only Tinubu can weild power productively on behalf of the South today.
Buhari did same.on behalf of the North because he is authoritative and as iconically supported as Tinubu is.
Difference is that Tinubu is fairer, more tolerant,and more detribalised and more modern than Buhari. He will get more results than Buhari by far.
We should not waste the turn of the South indulging weakling any section of the country would bully with ease as happened to GEJ. Are we not ashamed at how terrorised Nigeria is becoming because North does not want to grant Nigeria modern and more effective policing and security architecture?
US, UK and European nations are evacuating their citizens from Abuja currently and we are still clowning around. The rescue mission belongs to Tinubu alone.
I am tipping Tinubu to be an Awolowo of today. A father of the rebirth of Nigeria. He will never fail.Unless of course death stops him. |
Politics › Re: Peter Obi And Nyesom Wike Form A Perilous Alliance Against The South-east by Vichyke2: 9:48am On Oct 19, 2022 |
You need either antimalarial pills or at least a 3 square meal... Newsletter01: Peter Obi and Nyesom Wike form a perilous alliance against the South-East ahead of 2023:
Both Peter Obi, Tinubu and Nyesom Wike have reached an agreement for the Wike faction of PDP to support the Labour Party in 2023. Wike, who has remained opposed to PDP Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar over personal interest and vendetta, is supporting Peter Obi to enable the emergence of Bola Tinubu of the APC as President in the 2023 elections.
Tinubu and Wike believes that his partnership with Peter Obi will help weaken the votes of the entire South for Atiku Abubakar and the PDP, given that the stronghold of the PDP is in the Southern region.
According to Wike, he is not supporting Peter Obi because he will win the presidential election. He is aware that Peter Obi doesn’t have the strength, financial muscle, national spread and capacity to win the Presidency with the Labour Party. Instead, it’s for the PDP to lose votes in the entire South.
Wike is supporting APC candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but he is aware that the APC and Tinubu are unpopular in the South South and South East regions and will not receive any votes from electorates in the region. Instead, Wike has perfected plans to use Peter Obi to weaken the PDP more in the South.
Wike has formed a dangerous alliance with the Labour Party's presidential candidate in order to squander votes from the South East and South South that would otherwise go to Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.
This is dangerous for the Igbos clamoring for national unity. It's now obvious that Peter Obi is the greatest enemy of ndi-Igbo who is rather working against the interests of the Igbos with his alliance with Wike and Tinubu.
With Atiku Abubakar's presidency looking more probable and inevitable given the mal-administration of the APC, which has made Atiku Abubakar and PDP the beautiful bride for the majority of Nigerians, it will be detrimental for Ndi-Igbo to be schemed out of national politics by the selfish desires of Peter Obi, who is forming an alliance to harm and destroy Ndi-Igbo and the South East.
Obi has also accepted the conditions of Wike to sacrifice Labour Party Governorship and National Assembly candidates in Rivers, Abia, Oyo, Benue, Enugu and other states where the Wike camp may have an interest and focus on the Presidency alone.
Let the Igbos blame Peter Obi for his actions, desperation and decisions against the South East when Atiku Abubakar emerges as President in 2023.
Vendetta-driven Nyesom Wike cannot stop the inevitable victory of Atiku Abubakar and PDP, but instead will push the South East and South South into political suicide. |

Any Yoruba man or woman campaigning for Obi should have a rethink and retrace their step back. Though this isn't supposed to be so but you see those IGBOS have turned this election to tribalistic one. They have even turn it to religious one
I will support and vote for Tinubu. He has more achievements, antecedents and legacies to point at as a governor and when he left government than EVERY other contestants
Tinubu is very much accommodating and tolerance than other contestants. IGBOS are taking political position in Lagos. IGBOS are civil servants in Lagos and other South western states. IGBOS are doing businesses freely in Lagos and other south western region
Please go to any eastern state to see if you'd see any Yoruba or Hausa man as ordinary councillor. It is a TABOO to the Igbo
ACHIEVEMENT- I WILL VOTE TINUBU TOLERANCE & ACCOMMODATING- I WILL VOTE TINUBU
For the northerners who reside in the north you can ask any of your family or friends living in Lagos and other South western states they will tell you how Yoruba are so friendly, loving and accommodating. Go to the state headquarter at Alausa ikeja you'll see igbos holding top position without any discrimination
Go to east and see how all positions are occupied completely by all igbos.
An average IGBOS are resentful, spiteful, hateful, bittered et al. They literally see themselves better, superior and more sophisticated than other tribes.
PLEASE verify this my claim if you aren't aware of it and make a decision on who to campaign and vote for
I leave you to your conscience!!! Please, can you stop this foolery and reason rationally? When Lagos was Nigerian capital...where was Tinubu  Lagos is bigger than that one man persons of your view have made a demigod over its affairs. Nigeria refuses to be owned by this same man that you guys made the landlord of Lagos. I rest case. |

DonMekino: SAM OMATSEYE, EVERYONE’S OBITUARY IS INEVITABLE By Chuks Iloegbunam
....“Sam, you threw Mr. Obi’s data out of the window because you must be seen to be frantically propagating a character of disputed age, of unknown pedigree, unascertained genealogy, unsubstantiated name, uncorroborated curriculum vitae, and unverified academic diplomas. You shout from the rooftops that Peter Obi is not fit to govern. But you posit as fit for the presidential palace a specimen of incontinence, tremulous lower extremities, slurred speech, unsteady gait and memory lapses. You cannot be serious, my friend.”...
Some have called you foolish, dear Sam Omatseye. Others insist that you are plain stupid. There are those who hold you to be beneath contempt. Their howls of execration upon you are in reaction to your August 1, 2022 article entitled Obi.
For me, however, you are a dear friend. Our friendship started in the 1980s at Newswatch magazine where both of us practiced journalism before you travelled to the United States for further studies. It continued upon your return and strengthened to the point that, sometimes, you get the producers of your TV Continental programme to connect me to field questions live. Besides, living in different states, we often chat by telephone. I demonstrated our amity again last May when I was in Nigeria’s commercial capital for the Lagos International Book Fair. I phoned you and, within the hour, you were at my stand where we spent quality time reminiscing about the good old days and prognosticating on the future of our dear fatherland.
Armed with this handle of friendship, I have just the one advice for you: Be careful. It is in elaboration of this counsel that I write all that you read hereon. Please look back to the time of the Nigeria-Biafra war of 1967 to 1970. You will find that, military or civilian, none of the political actors of that era is still in a position to fight elections today. The final curtain long fell for most of them. Of the lot that remains, some have become vegetables, or are propped up with a suffusion of drugs or would not find their way to the loo unless hired attendants or swearing relatives point it out. Together with the handful that is still blessed with something close to robust health, they have one thing in common. They are seated, restless or restive, in various existential departure halls, clutching fitfully at their boarding passes and waiting for that inevitable voice that cannot be disobeyed, to announce their flights into past tense.
In a broad sense, the departed leave their legacies, good, bad or ugly, for those standing in line and waiting their turns to also check out. What legacies, dear Sam, are you and I feverishly working day and night to leave for those coming in our wake? When you write an article that denigrates the Igbo nation of over 50 million people, and make nonsense of some of those things that mean the most to them, do you really believe that your disposition is justified by the pay and perquisites that accrue to you at Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s The Nation newspapers?
This is you: “The Biafran babblers are alive and well. They just swapped icons, rechristened the shrines and rewrote the rites. They left the prophet for a secular priest. They have had a switch of battle gear.” This clearly is a perfidious way of sentencing Ndigbo to the status of the bat that is neither bird nor mammal. Their fight for Biafra five decades ago was stopped. Their fight now for democratic integration impels you to call them babblers, i.e., people who are no more than endless talkers of nonsense. One would think that the bat sobriquet aptly becomes your Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose initials provide the BAT acrostic that he wears like a badge. I will sooner return to the BAT.
This, again, is your characterisation of the Igbo: “They can say they have a legitimate tribe and rhetoric. They may pretend to love Nigeria. They may claim to embrace INEC, cling to a political party no one in the police or DSS will harangue.”
Isn’t this the height of Igbophobia? We may go back in history. Before Tinubu, there were other Yoruba presidential candidates, including Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief M. K. O. Abiola, General Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Gani Fawehinmi and Chief Olu Falae. None of these personages indexed their presidential ambition on stoking inter-tribal animosity between the Yoruba and the Igbo. As a matter of fact, Chief Philip Ezebuilo Umeadi, Igbo and one of the oldest Senior Advocates of Nigeria, was Papa Awolowo’s running mate in the 1979 presidential election.
Why does it make sense to you and to your principal that the only route to his vaulting presidential ambition must be one that sunders two ethnic groups that have since before the amalgamation been living together in amity, harmony and peace, two peoples that have always, in peace or in peril, lent each other a helping hand?
At the height of the Western Nigeria political crisis of the mid 1960s that pitted Chief Awolowo against Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the former’s Action Group (AG) and Dr. M. I. Okpara’s National Convention of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) entered into a coalition that birthed the United Progressives Grand Alliance (UPGA). We have it on Wole Soyinka’s authority – see page 73 of his autobiographical “You Must Set Forth At Dawn” (Bookcraft, Ibadan 2006) that Dr. Okpara lent the then incarcerated Awo a voice by dispatching Mazi Anyogu Elekwachi Ukonu and a complement of seasoned broadcasters that installed a transmitter right inside Awolowo’s Ibadan home.
Ndigbo were not a part of Awolowo’s treason trial and his imprisonment for ten years. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe even said that he was the one that insisted on Awolowo being imprisoned in Calabar, rather than in Northern Nigeria where the chief feared that poisoning could end his life.
It was not the Igbo that nullified Chief Abiola’s victory in the 1993 presidential election. Rather, Ndigbo were in the forefront of the NADECO (National Democratic Coalition) struggle against the gross injustice. At least a third of those that formed the NADECO were Igbo, according to a list in Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics, Chief Segun Osoba’s autobiography published in 2020 by Diamond Publications Limited, Lagos. They included Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, the late Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Okwadike (Dr.) Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Prof Anya O. Anya, Chief Ralph Obioha, Chief Empire Kanu, Chief Michael Anyiam, Chief E. Duru, Chief Vincent Nwizugbo and Dr. Uma Eleazu.
NADECO had an international arm. In the United Kingdom, its meetings were held in the late Raph Uwechue’s Africa Books Limited offices in Hammersmith London. Chief Uwechue was Igbo. Dear Sam, I do not know exactly where you were at the time, and I concede that, among Nigerian politicians, there is something known as selective amnesia. If, therefore, your Tinubu, who lived in London for a portion of his exile, does not remember Uwechue’s role in NADECO, I am sure that none of General Alani Akinrinade, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi and Professor Sylvester Monye will ever forget.
All the Igbo fighters for June 12 were not dissuaded by the fact that their struggle was to actualise the electoral mandate of Chief Abiola, a Yoruba politician. Apart from incarceration, harassment by security operatives and the alienation of exile, some of these men paid heavily in other ways for their commitment to cause of justice. Chief Bobo Nwosisi died in exile in London. Chief Obioha lost his bank, the First African Trust Bank Limited.
In the light of the above, readers would have to judge for themselves whether or not it is right for you, Sam, to say the following of Ndigbo: “They have transferred the temperament of their former master into the new. And they have not spared any incoherence, any lack of finesse, and threats and tantrums, any show of rabid, primitive cants, or any ululations. They have abused, cursed, thrown imprecations. They have hugged lies about their candidate. They have pelted lies about others. They have distorted material. Obi has turned out to be an excuse for even closet Biafrans to betray open emotions about Biafra without being accused of it.”
To be sure, your writing is not an aberrant occurrence. On July 17, 2022, an Adedamola Adetayo posted on the Internet an anti-Igbo diatribe in which he said, among other things that “They have a POLITICAL ZIONISM already in play. It is in the thing they deceptively call Obidients. That Movement is going to RALLY the Igbos of Lagos in a way that they haven’t ever been rallied. THEY ARE SET TO DETERMINE THE LEADERSHIP OF LAGOS. The priority is to remove Tinubu first. In future they will call the shot. This is what Peter Obi is all about. He has no plans for any Presidency. I can imagine that the ZIONISTS already have their IPOB/UGM all over the places in Lagos, in the Garrisons called Markets, under cover, masquerading as Igbo traders.”
Years before this ranting Adedamola Adetayo, John Femi Kusa, who had been a script editor at The Guardian in Lagos, also showed his claws. In March 2019, he published an article on the Internet with this sentence of a title: Okota: The Igbo Question, Jimi Agbaje, Afenifere And The Rest Of Us. In it, he claimed that, “The major problem, in my opinion, is the Igbo penchant to wish to take over another person’s land…Lagos was either a colony or a part of Western Nigeria. But because of the generosity of Yorubas and the foresight of their forefathers which made this region the star region in West Africa, the Igbos would like the Yorubaman to believe that LAGOS IS NO MAN’S LAND. Can anyone say that of Benin without eating his pounded yam as raw yam?”
Dear Sam, your Obi piece is as incendiary as the hateful views of Kusa and Adetayo. Kusa, now well into his 70s will not physically go feeding the Igbo raw yam. But all the vitriol you guys have been pushing against the Igbo is the stuff that leads the M. C. Oluomos into mindless violence and murder and arson and brigandage. You pen pushers of evil are the ones that egg on the rabble into wielding guns and cudgels and massacring innocent people for transient political offices. Is it right to promote this permittivity simply so that Tinubu will attain his wild goose chase of the presidential crown?
Kusa schooled at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, earning a degree in Mass Communication. All through his years in the Igbo country, not once was he molested or denied his citizenship on account of his origin. Did his welcome at Nsukka lead him into believing that the town was a part of the Yoruba country? According to Facebook, the acerbic Adetayo guy schooled at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and earned a degree there without abuse, let or hindrance. Maybe it got fixed inside his brain that Awka is an extension of Lagos, or that Azikiwe after whom the institution was named was his progenitor.
If there are Ndigbo who say that Lagos is a no man’s land, can one Igbo person be put up who simply seized a piece of land in the metropolis and converted it to his use? If Nigerians, including Tinubu’s daughters, who have been buying up choice properties in New England, United States, can own houses in Europe, North America, the Middle East and elsewhere, why must it rankle that Ndigbo own property in Lagos? Why must ownership of landed property in one’s own country lead to calumniation and physical harm? Is it not too steep a price to pay in order that Tinubu should become Nigeria’s president?
The Igbo were not responsible for the recent bloody massacre of congregants inside the St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State. The Igbo are not among those sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Afenifere leader Chief Reuben Fasanranti’s daughter. The herdsmen marauding, pillaging and plundering Yoruba land, looting, raping women, destroying farmlands and spreading death and destruction are not Igbo. The Igbo man did not kill a soul. He did not contest the governorship of Lagos. He hasn’t ever claimed ownership of Iga Idungaran. The Igbo always lived in peace with the Yoruba – until Tinubu surfaced with his divisive politics. Are the vociferous Igbo supporters of Tinubu no longer of the ethnic group because of their partisan predilection?
Sam, informed readers of your articles are aware that your allusions to classical Anglo-Saxon, Greek and Roman mythologies and literary divergences are no more than an egregious attempt at appropriating the intellectual centre circle. Otherwise, you would appreciate the importance of adding depth to your fulminations.
Any owner of a book of quotable quotes or a glossary of literary terms can fill their verbiage with citations. But that is no scholarship, my friend. Look at you: “Obi is like Zik, Kanu like Ojukwu. One is a flair, the other a flare.” Yet, it doesn’t strike you as reasonable to accord some of Zik’s aptitude to Peter Obi, a man who earned an honours degree in Philosophy from Nigeria’s premier indigenous university that was built by the great Zik of Africa.
And Ojukwu is no more than a flare. By impugning him with combustibility, you forget that in January 1967, Ojukwu went to Aburi, Ghana, not with an incendiary device, but with the sole purpose of putting out the smoldering fire that was threatening to become a national conflagration. You forget that it was not Ojukwu but those that reneged on the Aburi Accord that tossed a lit match in an ocean of gasoline.
I agree with those that have invested you with the coronet of a seasoned journalist. Except that your coronation disdains the fact that your brand of perceptive journalism is only seasonal. That explains why it bothers you that “Obi hops from church to church,” but means absolutely nothing to you that as Dele Sobowale reported in the Sunday Vanguard of July 10, 2022 “…Bola Tinubu has charged the Supreme Council for Sharia in the country to create a department of political affairs to create political awareness among the faithful towards producing a Muslim President in 2023.” Neither do you care a hoot that, as Dr. Sobowale added in the same article “Tinubu has followed up that injunction to the Supreme Council for Sharia, by making secret pledges to expand the reach of Sharia to more Southern States if elected.”
Rather, you call Peter Obi a hypocrite. But Mr. Obi gave his date of birth, the name of his parents, the town he hails from, the schools he attended and the businesses he is into. All were found to be correct. Not being at all interested in the truth, you threw Mr. Obi’s data out of the window because you must be seen to be frantically propagating a character of disputed age, of unknown pedigree, unascertained genealogy, unsubstantiated name, uncorroborated curriculum vitae, and unverified academic diplomas. You shout from the rooftops that Peter Obi is not fit to govern. But you posit as fit for the presidential palace a specimen of incontinence, tremulous lower extremities, slurred speech, unsteady gait and memory lapses. You cannot be serious, my friend.
Of course, it is your entitlement to advertise even ordure if that captures your fancy, but you may not carry on as though your readers are imbecilic. By raising the Biafran bogey, your intention was clearly to create doubt and apprehension. But your gambit only registered a calamitous failure. Jonathan was President of this country. It didn’t obliterate Niger Delta agitation. Buhari is president of this country; those of his people campaigning for the Islamic State haven’t thrust their swords in their scabbards. You have a fondness for excoriating Nnamdi Kanu. Excellent! Except that your seasonal flair for journalism has never prompted you into examining the Sunday Igboho phenomenon. You make yourself a laughing stock by encapsulating in ethnic strictures the pan-Nigerian Peter Obi Movement that is youth led. You reckon not one bit that the youths that are sick and tired of the sanguinary dreariness and aridity of your principal’s vanishing epoch.
Nonetheless, you cannot contest the truism that, in the last analysis, everything goes and turns round. All metals are bound for the anvil. We are here today – those, like Peter Obi and his equally competent and credible running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, that wish to place a new heart in the Nigerian nation; and others like your principal and his paid battalions of blinkered acolytes that, as Pa Ayo Adebanjo finely put it, are only interested in continuing and escalating the rot they inflicted on hapless Nigerians in 2015. Whatever tomorrow brings, you must continue to ruminate over the legacy you will leave for coming generations. Every one of us will have their entrance and their exit, it being a settled fact that obituary’s certitude rings true for all comers, not just for Peter Obi as you wantonly asserted.
Chuks Iloegbunam is the author of the upcoming book on Mr. Peter Obi entitled The Promise of a New Era. This is journalism. Highly informative, enlightening and educative. Should be published like a book and read in history classes in our schools. History can't be distorted by some select few bought over with 30 pieces of silver. Will follow Chuks Iloegunam on all his handles for more enlightenments of our Nigerian history which the elites have decided to hide from being documented as it were nor it been taught in history classes.

Politics › Re: All Three Major Candidates Are Flawed And Frauds None Deserves To Rule Nigeria by Vichyke2: 1:49pm On Aug 03, 2022 |
Two02: I personally think Nigerians are confused and they love suffering that's why they settle for less. The 3 major Candidates are controversial figures and it'll be a huge demerit to Nigerians if they get to rule this country. I find it difficult to believe that out of the numerous presidential candidates Nigerians are deciding to settlefor this three people. Atiku Abubakar A corrupt individual and incompetent individual who's corruption makes him wanted imthe united States. A man called a unifier because of his PHILANDEROUS attitude of marrying women from all over the globe a man whose boss has called corrupt. People call him a unifier, but when he gets married to women from other faith he converts them to his faith. A good example his ex wife Jenifer Abubakar was a Christian when he married her he made her change her name to Jamila and same for his first wife who was a Christian, is that the kind of unifier you want an ethnic bigot. Note this is a man that wants to become president because he wants to Get there so that he can enrich his friends because his friends have rights to become rich.
Peter Obi This guy is going to be a disappointment of elected, he has no credentials and is riding on media hype quotes unnecessary figures which most times turn out to be lies but Nigerians can't see through this lies, to me he's a fraud the greatest of all frauds. Nigerians see him as a messiah but he isn't, it's unfortunate that Nigerians can't see through the lies and false image he's selling to Nigerian Youths. They can't tell you his tangible achievement, most of what his supporters will tell you are lies just to sell this false notion Of the sainthood of Obi.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu This guy I can assure you one thing he's going to flop as president because he has no plans and he's going to rely on the notion that he built Lagos (which isn't totally true) I can assure you this man is going to be a tyrant and a dictator, he has already shown signs of this but Nigerians are too blind to see this fact. This is a man that can't hide the fact that he wants to become president because he believes it's his turn. He is going to be a sectional ruler, people may ask me why I believe so, see his campaign group before he became APC flag bearer ''SWAGA 2023'' (South West Agenda 2023) he sees his presidential dream as an agenda for the SW and not Nigeria at Large. He is not going to run an Inclusive Government this one thing I assure you, you may ask why the reason is simple his choice of running mate and the facts that he hides it under the false umbrella of competence is just enough to tell you. He is a corrupt man with an enormous wealth that doesn't match the size of his business enterprise. Pls OP, kindly go and buy ticket and run if you say Peter Obi is Media Hype. Allow us in peace... I am very OBIDIENT |

Thanksful: I have confirmed it. No party can win Lagos state governorship election beside APC or any party Tinubu choose. Them no born them well. In the spirit Tinubu is the landlord of Lagos. Anybody can make noise but it will end in noise. Let him be and remain the president of Lagos and leave ASO ROCK for non-owners before he coverts it also like he did Lagos... |

Go to your pastor and ask him what they discuss or do in CAN meetings because it's not a gathering for every TOM, DICK & HARRY... Wisdom is profitable to direct. Are these three bishops part of the lot scampering to enter the hall by all means like uninvited guests? Alawode01: ,l am a christian for your information and since I been going to church,I have never seen or heard that CAN did something for the church, unless we will ask to pay for them, ask other christians that in their church what significant things CAN as a body of christians in Nigeria is doing for the progress of their church,I believe majority of them will tell you, that its just a group of christians calabals. |

OP, I want to believe that you are not the Christian here; you don't read you holy book or you have be deceived by someone that feels they can play Christ.
Luke 6:37 (King James Bible) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
You can't play God... Nobody holy pass. Be ye OBI-dient to the holy scriptures. |
