The Governors have one vote. Over 20 of them with 100 billion spent in osun failed. The north is whr the votes are majorly. No northern Governor can rig election in his state if his people reject the person. They will burn down that state as they don't fear ur police and military. The north population is 1 million times in support of subsidy returns. When they start trouble the Governor himself no dey fit stay the state...go and verify. Then your apc governors in SE are equally useless as they whr thr even in 2023 when we rejected the baron. Those governors will throw baron under the bus for thr own reelection.
The problem is data boys are blinded by 30k money.Go to your street or neighbourhood and do little research. Ask the people thr if they would prefer subsidy back or not.Then come back here and tell us the result You can start with your fmly members

Keep decieving yourself. Osun, Tinubu was happy to relinquish and gain Adeleke as a winning accomplice towards 2027.

"Governors have only one vote" is one of the most ignorant comment I have heard anyone make on this forum. PBAT is getting 25% in virtually all States of Nigeria, bar the SE, courtesy of 31 APC Governors and FCT Minister Wike.

Do you even know what is involved for a candidate to emerge President. Let us see what miracle will achieve that requisite 25% in a defined number of States for Obi and Atiku.

Oya na. Shebi you are one of the main advocates of "anyone but Yoruba" President. We will see. Not long to go.

You guys are always being taught lessons by history but you fail to learn and change your approach to Federal politics.

dragunov:
Turaki ke? That title has been revoked since. It's now Kachalla. See, let me leak a secret to you. Tinubu has a long list of Northern elites who sponsored killings and insecurity in the North and Atiku is one of them. His second term will see the arrest and incarceration of these people. Kachalla is determined to stop that because that secret just got leaked to him too.

The central concept most Nigerians are not critical-thinking enough to get their head around is that Nigerians regions are very different nations, adversarial even, lumbered together by Lugard.

Can Iran and the USA share nationhood? Not possible. They are ideological enemies and will will always ensure any nation they share fails because they have different ideas about nationhood and how their people should live. Yet that is what we have to cope with in Nigeria.

Whereas if Nigerians were analytically intelligent enough then solutions would be obvious to most which is that one man, the President, cannot perform miracles to make our nation utopia.

The fundamental structure of our nation must change. We see a President doing exactly that with regional development commissions never seen before.

Plus State Policing, local Government autonomy, Fuel Subsidy removal, greater regional autonomy and a higher degree of the privatisation of the Nigerian economy etc, etc.

Yet we want to throw that away for Atiku and Obi who are just power-hungry with leadership history distinctly showing them as mediocre?

Tinubu must do everything to win next year and I say that with my full chest because the mission to rescue Nigeria from evil and backward people is not child's play.

aswani:
Some excellent questions here, I don't think you will get any takers.

We hace tó accept that we are in election season and nonsense mus nonsense.

Dem don give Mike Arnold moni make he sef add him own, persin wey dey look for wetin him go chop bifor and don see say Nigeria get pipo wey get moni pas sense.

Indeed. The main problem with Obidients is that they are extremists who simply wish to bully themselves into Aso Rock to gain an ethnic Presidency, specifically, as they have historically sought in hope that will help them take Lagos and dominate Nigerians everywhere. Become top Dogs literally


Did we not see covetously expansionist Azikiwe trying to annex the SW till Awolowo stopped him?

They do not care about the progress of Nigeria nor their fellow Nigerians that they badmouth and attack, home and abroad, 24/7.

One of the apc social media handler on nairaland....we know them, they are here, they are everywhere, they are paid to stay online.but they cant erase the truth

Yes I am "Paid". If that notion makes you sleep well at night feel free to consider me and all Tinubu supporters paid.

The woman speaking below is paid also I am sure. Surely we also paid off the award committee to declared Nigeria best performing central bank in the world 2026 based on the performance and reforms of Governor Cardoso.

LottiOk:
Soludo said d same thing in d run-up to '23 elections, instead of Dem to learn dey descend on him online, vilifying him till date. Dey're indirectly campaigning for Tinubu instead of dia own candidate, like if d lie dat Tinubu is a drug lord ever stopped him from winning any election. I really can fanthom how Des guys sleep at night cos dis level of willfully deception of demselves is quite disgusting to behold.

I don't understand bro. They say it every day as well as if that can have any impact today.

Uncouth, insultive and always about hateful and toxic politcs.

They will never understand Nigerian politics and what it will take to succeed contesting in it at the federal level.

omenka:
Hi Ninety percent of his followers are IPOB and Agulu Merlin supporters. Dude's fed read fat from their brains over the years.

Indeed. Yet what continues to amuse me is that they do not understand the adage from Einstein that "insanity is doing things the same thing over and over again to expect a different action".

Talk, insult, online noisemaking and threats etc cannot make anyone President. Real political capacity, which PBAT has invested in gaining, does.

He now has 31 Governors, countless legislators and local Government chairmen etc behind him.

They will continue to talk about cash asset forfeiture, from 33 years ago, that led to no criminal conviction, and can thus not disqualify a President in power for almost a term already because, like their messiah Obi, they are naturally poor at Federal level politics which entails building bridges and negotiating instead of thinking you can curse, insult and fight everyone to a standstill.

They never invest in anything or anyone nor the Nigerian political process even. Their "food is ready" approach to Federal level politics, very different to State politics, will always be their downfall that will prevent them leading Nigeria for a long time.

I even believe it will be an SS man that will lead Nigeria in 2039 after the North has done her 8 years and not them.

Divisive and toxic politics bears no fruit.

naturefellow:
The loyalists and useful mentees...

Yes. Unless you want to pretend not to know how Nigerian politics work.

Tareq1105:
They're criminals bcoz they don't agree with your position thereby criminalizing them bcoz they hold a contrary views.

Who's the foolish one now?

Don't mind them. Patently undemocratic and extremist yet they go around claiming it is other who have problems.

jaxxy:
And his supporters say its only tax evasion charges.

Now we hear it will endanger lives

It is a measure of the people you guys are that you remain dwelling in the past. This is an asset forfeiture from 33 years ago that lead to no criminal conviction.

PBAT is virtually through his first term as President. If you and your candidate of choice, whether Atiku or Obi, are action men who understands that it is solid solutions that defines life rather talk go and focus on mobilising your voters and meet APC at the polls.

All this talk in inconsequential. PBAT is going nowhere, in so far as there was no criminal conviction, regardless of what is revealed.

reddingtonblack:
it is almost as you are reciting Gen 1 : 1 ... Was that necessary or must you comment

Arnold is trying to break down possibilities of recent FBi & us govt move ...so people understand the situation better

You are here reminding us Tinubu is president, Nigerians can not remove him

Fine ! you and your president die there nigba yen.

Yes we will. Everybody must die someday so why not go out winning?

LottiOk:
I want to ask d Obidents cooking up, spreading and believing Des lies told by them and dia paid colleuges like Arnold here some logical questions.

1. If Tinubu was really a drug dealer or involved in drug trafficking. People in his old neighborhood, he partners and rivals would've known, so how has none been able to identify him now dat he's a president and an international figure ⁉️

2. If USA could release damaging Epestin files on Trump, why would Dey accept a bribe to refuse d release of Tinubu's own⁉️
Is he Richer Dan and more influential as Trump⁉️

3. If he was a rat and dis fable is true, those he snitched on should speak up or are dey all dead⁉️

Please I want u guys to explain Des to me and make it make sense.

Bro, they are just desperate and seeking a 'backdoor' entry for Obi into Aso Rock next year as they know he stands no chance against Tinubu.

Asset forfeiture that happened 33 years ago, with no criminal conviction whatsoever, will remove an incumbent Nigerian President, over 3 years in power, how?

Critical and central to matters was the fact that Tinubu was not convicted of any crime yet these guys can't wrap that central point around their logic.

Racoon:
There is no secret under the sun that will not be revealed some day. America can never allow someone like Tinubu be be their mayor let alone president.

Lol. Has PBAT sought any political office in the USA? Being two-term President of Nigeria is his ambition and he is half way there and shall achieve it to the glory of Nigeria.

Ofunaofu:
“What exactly is inside those files?”

That is precisely the question.

A man whose name became attached to a U.S. heroin-trafficking investigation, whose account was connected to funds the U.S. court ordered forfeited, and who ultimately surrendered $460,000 to the U.S. government in 1993 may have escaped a criminal conviction, but the questions did not disappear with the money.

Now the FBI says some of the unreleased records are sensitive enough to warrant secret judicial review.

So Nigerians are not asking for gossip. We are asking for sunlight.

If the files contain nothing capable of damaging Tinubu's reputation, why is their disclosure supposedly dangerous? And if they do contain something explosive, why should Nigerians and the world be expected to pretend it doesn't exist?

The irony is almost too perfect: Nigeria is busy exporting a 'Renewed Hope' brand while its President's old U.S. drug-forfeiture files remain locked away like a national secret.

You cannot PR your way out of history. You cannot rebrand a country's international image while the unanswered questions keep crossing borders.

Open the files. Redact what genuinely protects innocent people. Release the rest. Let the evidence speak.

#copied

Lol. Continue with the questions. You guys should let go of this desperation led by the fact you support a cowardly candidate and nomad, who flees always, and cannot become President because he has built nothing and no one to the extent you and him are now relying on the USA to help you disqualify PBAT.

Won't happen. My advice to all of you is that you should start playing politics the right way building bridges, alliances and capacity. "Food is ready" politics rarely wins in Nigeria at Presidential level.

Antoeni:
It's Clear That The US Are The Biggest Enablers of Nigeria Suffering And Backwardness

You guys can continue daydreaming and distributing silly AI-generated banners. What "Narco terrorism", as Maduro stands accused of against the USA, applies to Nigeria?

What exactly does Trump have to gain against a President who allowed USA to enter Nigeria and take out ISIS second in command that is a terrorist group amongst one of the most deadliest enemies of the USA when all Nigerian previous Presidents will not allow such out of fear of the North?

Trump is now a pal and fan of Tinubu. How is he going to help your mission of "anyone but Yoruba President"?

If your candidate had the leadership talent, and had developed his capacity over the years to become more than a local champion leader, jumping from Party to Party and never building anything or anyone, then him and you all will not be looking for the USA and Trump to do you a favour because you're too short to reach the top shelf.

MEGAWATCH:
When a criminal comes to court and his brother is the judge, no amount of evidence before the court will send the criminal to jail.

If Jonathan was the one involved in a case like this in 2015, could you just imagine what you could have been typing here? ( Just an assignment for you) .


😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Jonathan is a good and decent man. I can't wish bad against him and was not one of those insulting him while he was President. I had nothing against him personally.

Just that he was an accidental President who cannot take a very difficult nation to Govern, I.e Nigeria, where she needs to go because I have lived in a developed Western nation all my life and know what Nigeria needs to do to even get close to such nations.

I want Nigeria to become richer and more developed than South Africa and Egypt etal as we have the population, resources and capacity to become.

Yet me and you know Jonathan did not have the capacity, political support and leadership sagacity to deliver the critical reforms required to enable Nigeria become a developed nation.

Streetinvestor2:

Nigerians all over the country are already celebrating the return of subsidy. Any other thing is noise from data boys. We have seen something the opposition will do differently and many more will be announced soon.


We should continue a policy that only makes baron and his apc governors richer so they will have more money to rig election. while 79 % get poorer and what is left is used to pay data boys to continue to be nuisance on social space...God forbid
Imagine apc governors ready to pay 50k for single vote in osun election. The have made the people so poor that they felt they can buy them with more money .
Do you know the number of cng transit buses 100 billion can buy if they had the people in mind. After they failed the baron behind it said he was neutral.
How unwise do they think Nigerians can be at a time

Okay na. We will see the 'Soup' Governors getting 300% to 400% higher allocation than they did, before Tinubu, go cook for Atiku.

Any State want to return to the previous status quo, before Tinubu, where more than 20 States were borrowing to pay salary because of fuel subsidy?

Atiku will say and do anything to become President. Does he believe we all want to be like the North with some of the lowest human-development index in the world because past leaders have turned Nigerians to political crack addicts who are not exposed enough to know subsided fuel, electricity, education, Naira etc can never give Nigerians the high quality of life Singaporeans, for example, enjoy in their developed nation that took decades to achieve.

Subsidies has ruined Nigeria. It made no sector at all, be it power or education, work optimally well in the past. Does China or the UK and the USA import civil Engineers to work on their critical infrastructure as we do yet we claim we are graduating civil Engineers yearly?

A direct consequence of cheap and subsidized education that cannot ever create highest-level solutions providers for our society meaning we must import them.

We must endure with crucial and unavoidably transformative reform if we want to lift many Nigerians out of poverty and move our nation towards developed nation Status at least over 20 years.

The sad thing is that most Nigerians are not well-educated enough to appreciate this and that is what Atiku wants to take advantage of to land in Aso Rock with his talk of returning fuel subsidy.

Governors and local Government chairmen etal, receiver bigger allocations to do more, will be waiting for him.

"Mike Arnold's" obsession with Nigeria is fascinating but not surprising. Every drifter and layabout is looking for "projects" today in the social media age to gain virtue-signalling fame and prominence.

PBAT is President and about to complete his first term. "All eyes on the judiciary" did not prevent him leading as our President.

How will supposedly cash forfeiture, linked to a speculated drug case, Tinubu was never criminally convicted of now remove or disqualify him?

Opposition should get serious. Only the likes of Atiku and Obi can be excited about this nonsense because they never built political capacity, loyalists and useful mentees as Tinubu did over decades while planning patiently and meticulously to be President.

They failed to make hay while the sun was shinning because they are lazy and not talented at political leadership.

As "food is ready" politicians Atiku and Obi think they can land in Aso Rock via some disqualification technicality against PBAT. We dey laugh.

Napata77:
We are not in America, Mr Man.

We don't pay for everything we do in dollars, so take that nonsense away.

Many of these projects are being paid for in Naira to indigenous contractors.

ALSO, in addition to the standard monthly allocation, the FG distributed a special ₦435 billion infrastructure and security intervention fund to state governments during the first half of 2026 alone to support state projects.

The vastly increased number and scale of infrastructural projects in all the states is clear evidence of VASTLY INCREASED allocation from Abuja, so go and sit down with this your fake calculation. The FG is PUMPING the states with money to build up their infrastructure.

Precisely. Regional commissions the FG is funding are adding their own contribution too.

I am not surprised by his response though because he is obsessed with being negative about every praise the President get's and never ever commending anything good from the PBAT administration.

It is imperative Governors receive far more to be able to do more towards improving the lives of Nigerians and per capita income which, to me,is very important.

Infrastructural development, better healthcare, high quality of education etc, etc help that to be achieved.

Lagos. Will achieve it for sure . Too many brilliant minds and leaders from the State but a lot of stagnation of States of Nigeria arising from our Moribund 'One Nigeria' structure.

PBAT is addressing that problem. Those with objective minds can see it. I am Tinubu's unofficial son lol. Seyi, step aside.

@OP.

Lol. Tell your candidate to develop the political capacity and strength Tinubu has gained instead of thinking you can rely on 'backdoor' assistance to defeat Jagaban.

bigpicture001:
Every home or every house...

Cuz in a building we may have like 8 families...I don't understand

Postcode is mainly attached to a street or road. Perhaps a segment of it even. The Number of the specific house then completes the sequence for postal deliveries, population surveys, sat-nav/GPS tagging etc.

It is all happening under Tinubu. A deliberate and talented leader using STEM, i.e, Science,technology,. Engineering and Mathematics to deliver solutions for society.

So many achievers under PBAT. It is Bosun Tidjani under focus today but countless others are delivering like Umahi, Wike, Keyamo, Tunji-Ojo, Cardoso, Ribadu, Muhammad Ali Pate etc as never seen since 1999.

Nigerians should never make the mistake of swapping Tinubu with time-wasters and empty vagabonds in 2027.

RISQUE:
No Dey mention people wey no get sense. U no go see them for this thread. Evil men.

You guys make me laugh because you typify all that is wrong with Nigeria.

All the usernames mentioned are "evil men" merely because they think differently to you and, as constitutionally and democratically allowed, support different political leaders to you?

You think democracy is war?

FSBoperator:
Bro, no one in the south be it SS or SW wants a country with you guys

Absolutely. For what? All they seek is domination of others for their kith and kin. They are least capable, by nature, to lead for the best interest of all in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society. Who wants such folks as fellow citizens or leaders?

The most intolerant, mono-religious and mono-culture region in Nigeria is the SE. These facts don't lie even if they wish to spin such with thousands of words.

It is the over-accommodating nature of Yorubas allowing them permeation in the SW and that will stop as Obi and Obidients brand of politics is seeing a rise in political conservatism in the SW.

NaijaHelper1:
It's not an accusation actually. Just a statement of fact. When Awolowo visited the Eastern region during the Pogrom to discuss the possible ways forward if the Eastern region were to be pushed out of Nigeria due to the persecution in the North, Awolowo pledged to follow suit.
In his own words (which is still argued) he said: "If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, the Western Region will automatically follow suit."
When we declared , he refused to follow suit and instead concluded that the west was not militarily capable of seceding. While it was a wise and insightful decision that I must admit saved his people, it was still a betrayal of an informal pact he had with the Igbos. Let's not also forget a Yoruba man brought the idea of the blockade that killed millions of Igbos. Not a Fulani or a Hausa man. If you're up for it, we can have a debate on it so far as you promise not to turn it into an insult match.

Bollocks. Is the bolded a signed and formal contract? You guys really need maturity because most of your problems stem from being over-emotional.

josielewa:
DONT MIND THE MAN. HE DOESNT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE WAR

They are just lucky Yorubas are calm and a people God has blessed to be progressive. When have we ever caused problems for Nigeria? Have we being behind any Military coup?


We ever conducted pogrom against them in the SW as happened in the North? We have anything similar to IPOB, Boko Haram, ISWAP, ISIS , Lakurawa etc in Yoruba land?.

I don't get it. Should the Yorubas not be placed on a pedestal , out of the four major ethnic groups for being the one who have done right by Nigeria always with no no Nation-threatening infractions/misbehavious?

I can't wait for regional autonomy so Nigerians can see those , of the major ethnic groups, who are the assets and deficits of our nation.

bolaayenimo:
Like North Korea and South Korea, can we have a North Nigeria and South Nigeria as independent countries?

After all, we don't share same ideologies even on religious basis ( North see southern Muslims as infidels).

I think this will benefit Nigeria more

It will happen OP. Likely under regional autonomy. I don't think outright balkanisation of Nigeria, into separate nations with separate armies, can happen.

North do not want that and will never want it for the foreseeable future as they need the riches and flesh of Nigeria to feed on.

Yet, the rest of us deserve better because the North is a deficit to our nation. That's the truth many do not want to admit.

The current President should be supported to continue because he is the only one, since 1999, moving to ensure we gravitate towards full regional autonomy.

Personally, I prefer Nigeria remain a nation. Strong advantages of the most populous nation in Africa and big markets, cultural diversity etc that are assets if managed right.

What we need to work on is introducing a system of governance (regionalism) that ensures every Nigerian go and live as they wish in their corner of Nigeria and even learn from others if things are not working out for them.

'One Nigeria' is a scam only benefiting politicians and the elites.

NaijaHelper1:
That's if the Yorubas don't sell us out again like they did before the civil war.

You people and your revisionism. Tell us how the Yorubas sold you out and make sure your case is factual and not the emotional postulations you guys work with virtually 💯% of the time.
