You're allergic to truth ba?

Lol. OP, get on with your life. No one is chasing you.

chiagozien:
But to vote in their land, they will attack and kill other tribes sharing the same so called country with them, Shouting ronu runo.

You think Brits would vote those who openly and proudly display an agenda of hateful and hostile takeover against them as your people show Yorubas in Lagos and as Rhodes Vivour, "I don't think in Yoruba", exemplified with his conduct in the lead-up to the 2023 Lagos Guber election?

Opeyemi no go UK dey chant, “na me develop this jungle”.

She be proper omoluabi Yoruba babe.

Indeed.

helinues:
Ogun state politics is different. If they had the mindset of making the difference, we should have been seeing their hands on ground.

Why now do they suddenly remember the state? Let them be governor of the state they have been playing the politics for years.

You can see what happened during the Apc primary election involving Osinbajo

Year I get your argument. Solid one at that too because of the saying "all politics is local" meaning that constituents are concerned about their own immediate issues and local problem.

They would therefore likely vote a known politician suggesting solutions rather than someone deemed an "outsiders" proposing same.

Nonetheless, those of us with Ogun State origin, with progressive mindset cannot stop thinking what could be if someone like Fashola, not know to Ogun local politics, could be brought in purely for his administrative talent to then set Ogun on the path of development as happened to Lagos from Tinubu onwards.

Something must break the cycle of Ogun's caucus and ka ri mi (notice me) politics that means those who are incompetent have mastered the art of being visible to the electorate and thus continue winning at the expenses of those not visible, or even politically relevant, who may have the magic wand to transform Ogun State and elevate her to the status her endowment demands.

By the way, Osinbajo was a miscalcution by PBAT. He is not the norm and even Ambode proves this with how he has shown exemplary loyalty to Tinubu and APC post his outing as Lagos Governor.

helinues:
Both Edun and Yayi should go and sit down somewhere. They shouldn't waste their money and time contesting for Ogun state politics.

Both of them have been active in outside politics without considering the Ogun local politics, no base nor any meaningful contributions to the growth of the state

They should go back to where they are coming from

Baba, na about who go deliver progress and not loyalty or support for those strong in local politics. Being strong at grassroot politics does not mean you will be good at leading a State.

Tinubu has proven this, by always ignoring the likes of Obanikoro, Obasa etal, to support those who are not politicians at all (like Fashola, Ambode, Hamzat, Sanwo-Olu etal) to carry his vision forward.

Obasa, for example, is a Titan of Agege and Lagos politics from even his late teens who has always nursed governorship ambitions.

Yet he will be a disaster as Governor in my opinion and I doubt Tinubu will ever support him.to become that.

Ogun State has sufferd enough since 1999 when all these local champions have held sway but done nothing to elevate the socio-economic status of a State that should actually be competing with Lagos if in the hands of competent administrators.

helinues:
Even Osoba can't singlehandedly annoint anyone.

The past governors dont command the state, may be their areas

Yes I know. I was just pointing out that the poster meant the candidate Osoba will back formally and not his kingmaking prowess.

Starhearts:
Edun is a lightweight politician in Ogun political terrains.. He has no local structures within d APC .
He is just like former VP Osinbajo, both re not reckon with wen it come to ogun politics
Tell him to keeps his money

You may be right about the bolded looking at things from a purely political angle.

If we are talking about progress for Ogun State then Edun is way better than those with "local structure".

It is the way politics is played in Ogun that is responsible for the condemnable backwardness of the State.

A State with far greater potentials than Lagos has virtually not moved even one step forward since 1999 despite her Admiral human and material resources because the State, beginning with OGD, has been going from one poor/average Governor to another.

Ogun State would have benefitted from having a benevolent political godfather who will neutralise those with "local structure" in favour of those who may not be politicians or politically inclined but would make visionary and transformational administrators.
As Tinubu achieved with Fashola, Ambode and now Sanwo-Olu.

Edun may be a "lightweight politician" as were Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu, who were not even politicians per se, but he will be better than most of the clowns with "local Structure" deemed "heavyweight politicians".

If Ogun continues with playing politics as she always has, the State will stagnate for decades.

sacajawea:
What do you mean by aside from Former governor Osoba??!?
Osoba?? As a potential candidate?

He must mean who Osoba's anointed is. Osoba is 85. He cannot be a candidate.

Aha

Aha
UK Ronu o..

Yorubas don't brag they have bought the entire London and are "enslaving" the "lazy and unambitious Brits' in their own nation merely because they are enjoying success courtesy of a meritocratic society that regards hardwork and talent.

Yorubas don't dedicate their entire lives and focus to fighting those they met on ground in the UK. They join with them to contribute their bit to societal progress.

They are not nauseating supremacist always bragging they are better than all and forever insulting and putting others down.

That's the big difference between them and the 'developer' people.

motymop:
She is now an agent of the former colonial masters

If Nigeria was to be recolonize, these are the people the British will send to do their dirty jobs

But this time, they look like us and have your ancestry

Lol. You're not a slave anymore bro.

Sirmwill:
Why is she giving Jack Sparrow vibes like this...

Bro, na by force to comment.

@Topic.
No surprise. Nigerians have done exemplarily well in the UK and especially in traditionally 'blackish' London boroughs where they have been making successful entry into political and public administration leadership for decades now.

Congratulations and goodluck to the Young lady.

maybet081:
Thank you.

May I ask you?
With all this your grammar why are those in diaspora performing far far better financially than people living in Nigeria, since according to your gospel the finish all their earnings on bills.

Please stop already.

Buddy, ask anyone who knows the diaspora as a matter of experience and not dem say dem say alone, those "far far better financially" in the diaspora are Nigerians with professional skill in medicine, IT, Accounting etc.

It is their far above average earnings, which most of the population of the UK cannot earn, that insulates them from the "living to pay bills" reality of many western nation.

If you want to 'japa' to go and do menial work in the West then better to remain in Nigeria. Everyone in the diaspora will confirm what I am saying.

Most Nigerians are prone to being refugees because of the nation we come from but those who have choice , and know what living and being alive truly is, are even moving away from the West most Nigerians wish to "japa' to.

When you spend virtually all your earnings on rent and bills, and have no saving, in nations with depressing weather, crippling loneliness, non-existent social life etc, then that is not living. It is grinding.

Listen to those speaking from experience and stop arguing blindly.

FreeStuffsNG:
If APC presents him then he will likely win. I doubt he can replace Senator Yayi though

Yayi is a grassroot player but Edun would be much better. Yayi is a waste of time in my opinion. Talentless, lacking vision and the innovative mind to take Ogun State where her potential indicates she belongs.

He is simply a career politician and will be worse than Abiodun. Ogun State's tragedy of leadership is truly a conundrum given the many ultra-distnguished Nigerians that have come from that State like Obafemi Awolowo, Wole Soyinka etal.

Fearurcreeator:
So your monthly rent in studio apartment is how much monthly there ... Sha dey compare nonsense

Most of these guys are ignorant because they have never set foot outside Nigeria so you must excuse their lack of knowledge.

It was only recently a 'japa' Nigerian, in the UK, was lamenting that he cannot even go for a beer after paying rent and bills from his £2000 take home monthly salary because he is left will less than £200 after payday.

Anyone with half a brain will understand that Tinubu's reforms, though painful now, is to achieve a socio-economic status that facilitate Nigerians earning living wages and not just surviving from hand to mouth as has been the case under every President since 1999.

Living wages is not what Nigerians were earning under GEJ and Buhari whereby most enjoy subsidized fuel, electricity etal yet take home 40k or less a month, that barely covers their monthly transport cost, meaning most Nigerian families, talk less individuals, will never own a home, a car or even be able to ever holiday outside Nigeria.

When you earn a living wage, as obtains in many developed nations of the world, you would be living and not just surviving because you'd be able to buy a home on a mortgage, have two cars in your family, holiday abroad with your family at least once a year etc,etc.

Many Nigerians are simply too addicted to subisdy trap impoverishment, Nigerian leaders have weaponised against them, to ever appreciate they are living like animals in comparison to others.

Those Nigerians will never appreciate that it is worth bearing with a few years of reforms, necessary after decades of us doing the wrong things, to gain a socio-economically commendable life where they have all the things that dignifies a human being and validates what is a desirable life rather than the life of deprivation, hunger and frustration most Nigerians are born into and will die with.

goody234:
stomach politicians

Yes na. The ones you support, who jump from Party to Party, are not stomach politicians. They are saints and Messiahs.

PepeXKermit:
Like Jandor like, Obanikoro, like Jimi Agbaje. There is something about these Southwest politicians, and politicians in general, they are all hungry, maybe not in the belly but in their minds.

Don't bring your tribalism into this. Doing such is the antics of the perennial losers hateful and envious of Yorubas.

Is it only Yoruba leaders or public figures who are behind Tinubu today after being his enemies and vocal critics in the past?

We know those who hate and envy Yorubas with every fibre of their being so I can only advise you to pray the Agula gbajue you all worship gains even 0.2% of the natural talent Tinubu has as a leader, teacher and mentor of others.

Firebox123:
same person that abuse tinubu in last election

All this shows Tinubu is the greatest politician in Nigeria post 1999 and probably of all times. He is never petty and has never a leaderr to join issues with anyone permanently.

That is because Tinubu, as an exemplary leader of leader, knows that "to err is human, to forgive divine".

He is always focused on his ultimate goal meaning he remains ready to rise above insults and attacks against his person to work with those who have maligned him previously for the sake of the greater good and purpose.

Keyamo, Omokri, Bwala, Obanikoro etal. The list is endless of former critics and enemies now firmly behind Tinubu.

A truly spectacular leader and uncommonly talented politician.

Fahd11:
Prime minister of terrorism .... He should be jailed with his drugs peddling citizens

If found guilty, he will be jailed for sure. 100%. Finland is not Nigeria where terrorists and bandits from the North are granted amnesty and then "rehabilitated" to join society with the ludicrous instruction to murderers and serial killers to "go and sin no more".

Terrorist are not sparred life imprisonent or exectution in any sane nation of the World that is serious about security of human lives and property they know is essential for the socio-economic growth and development of nations.

Samakus:
Good that you dodged including the two things that both of them actually should be assessed on... GOVERNANCE and CORRUPTION because TINUBU is a broad daylight failure in governance and carries big black bags of (alledged) identity theft, confirmed forfeiture of proceeds of narcotics and big time, unprecedented corruption and thievery.

I'm satisfied with your comparison

Lol. You people are tribalistic and dishonestly revisionist to the point of total idiocy that patronises the intelligence of those aware of Nigeria's history between 1999 and today.

Suffice to say I challenge you to show where Obi has featured in any literature from the most distinguished institution of learning globally let alone be regarded as a leader who delivered innovations for successful societies as Tinubu , along with Fashola, is regarded below in a research study at Princeton University.

You people can keep doing local champion trying to bamboozle Nigerians with your tribalistic revisionism and shameless attempt to launder the sordid image of the Agulu gbajue, in desperation to portray him 'Presidential material', but the world know and testifies to what Tinubu is that Obi is not even 0.01% of and never will be.

owunabastard:
what of Sunday Igbodo, should he be jailed too

Stop the mischief. You people have no shame with your devotion to redundant whataboutism instead of taking responsibility for your wrongdoing and that of your own people.

Igboho did not kill anyone, did not incite anyone to kill others, never incited his ethnic group to commit terrorist act, never former a group later proscribed as a terror organisation as Kanu did and certainly was not a hate preacher as all IPOB leaders are.

Face the aberration of your people and responsibly look to stand against it if some of you are still good and upright.

It was all Yorubas that applauded the actions of Oyo Governor when he quickly arrested and dealt with violent Yoruba nation agitators recently whereas you people support Kanu Ekpa and their violent, terrorist and anarchic antics.

Imagine a whole ethnic group obeying the sit-at-home lunacy of unelected hooligans and killers yet you are comparing yourselves to Yorubas.

At worst Igboho would be guilty of vigilantism. Go and google it to know judges can even be very synpathetic to the cause of a vigilante who is about the defence of himself and loved ones against marauders rather than your demons murdering fellow Nigerians in cold blood and, much worse, men and women of the Nigerian armed forces carrying out their legitimate duties.

Crystal clear, to all sane and normal people, Igboho is very different to your many demons guilty of murder, anarchy, terrorism, extrajudicial killing, summary execution etc.

You cannot hide behind vigilatism if you murder others at will terrorise society and hijack the authority of elected leaders, with the mandate of the people, as Kanu, Ekpa and your lot have done.

Don't ever compare them with Igboho. You lot should deal with your own madness and stop making whataboutism excuses.

BreakingNews21:
Anyone recall when Mr. Man was posting pics/vids online showing off all types of weapons?

Yes OO. When Hammer land, he claimed "content creator" . Lol.

MICHEALADEX:
Stop talking nonsense

It’s only civil crime that you talk of first time offender

In criminal offense, nothing of such


Abi if a man kill another he will be fined cos he’s a first time offender?

Correct. He is charged with incitement of terrorism. That is as criminally serious as it gets. Because Nigeria is playing kalo kalo with Kanu’s trial does not mean similar will apply in Finland.

He will get jail time with the lenght of time to be served dependent on what Ekpa’s incitement led to.

We all don't need to be told that the Nigerian government can provide evidence Ekpa’s incitement led to death of many innocent Nigerians including armed forces personnel.

We all witnessed it, as recent history, to include seeing Ekpa acting like God with power over life and death of others.

He also ran Autopilot which is essentially a terror cell within a bigger terrorist organisation that is proscribed in Nigeria.

I'd be shocked if Ekpa is sentenced to less than 10 years in prison and perhaps even longer. Not many nations are a joke like Nigeria.

YourKarma:
I want them to jail that useless Ekpa, but what this guy said is true, why don't you guys display this same vigor when killings by herdsmen is mentioned?

You can adress that at other Nairalanders. Not me. Most know me here as a dedicated and unapologetic fan of regional autonomy.

I have demanded that consistently, and spammed NL the most with what is shown below, so that the SW can gain regional policing once and for all that will allow her deal with the herdsmen menace every truthful Nigeians know that "one Nigeria', skewed in favour of the North, is abetting.

So you see my friend, not everyone who hate terrorist like Ekpa and Kanu is a hypocrite failing to comment on herdsmen, bandit and terrorist menace with origin in the North.

I dislike and despise all those who threaten the security of Ngerian lives and property, thus affecting our socio-economic development, equally and with no exception.

Below instead of the tribalistic daily back-and-forth, is what we should all be fighting for if a people who, in general, desire peace and progress above everything else and despite our differences.

viodemus:
I don't think Simon ekpa was doing any wrong by speaking up for his people, while constantly pointing out, all the wrongs from Nigerian so called leaders, and the tribal suppression against the Igbos.
The good thing about great countries like Finland, and USA the great, is that, their assessment know how to look at things from a general way, so, they know when a passionate oppressed people are just talking, and when they are talking and doing.


Finland, and every other great society, that looks at Nigeria closely, will see that Nigeria is a very tribalist, violent, and islam in their way and vision. Just because most igbos are not violent, are devout Christians and judah, - they are systematically being dealt with. The genocidal tribes of Nigeria knows how to deal with igbos in a heinous manner, while showing what they scripted to investigative foreign eyes and senses.


The case is still ongoing, and is going through a process. It is at a process where Questionable tribes - disguised as Nigeria, are the ones trying to silence the Igbos, but God is bigger than all of them combined. Most people from the islamics core north, SW, some tribes in between, and their igbo foot soldiers slaves, are the ones that get angry when igbos speak up.



Internally, igbos are not United. Some Igbos don't even know they are Igbos, every clan wants to hold on to their small clan, and that is over their tribe. So, how do you think the others that mean you evil suppression in Nigeria, views you? Am sure they love the igbo disunity, so that they can have free reign to massacre igbos while they keep the grip on mineral resources. Look at how okp*lor eyes have bought up the minds of most the sw. With Igbos, all the islamics northern stooges in Igbo areas, sent people to finland, to go and lie against ekpa.

Lol. Here we go again with the sentimental and emotional talk. Do you know any Western nation first hand rather than what your clearly biased mind makes you believe of them?

So they will see you guys as pious and devoted Christians and "Judah" while viewing all other Nigerians evil moslems, terrorists and tribalistic demons to then rule in favour of Ekpa who was "speaking for his people" (as if that is all Ekpa did) and then set him free?

We dey laugh. Go and ask about life from Adeyinka Grandson. The UK court did not deem him as speaking for anyone. They simply looted at the evidence and conclude he was guilty of hate speech as charged.

That is what unemotional Courts in the West, only compelled to look at evidence, do daily and consistently.

If they found Grandson guilty quickly of hate speech alone then I don't know the miracle you expect for Ekpa who did far worse and is guilty of inciting terrorism, violence and anarchy plus the leader of the dreaded "Autopilot" terrorist killer militia executing people summarioy across the SE.

We will see sha. Keep praying. A miracle may happen for you guys who always see your own, even the very demonic ones, as "innocent" and "victims".

chiagozien:
You just dey vomit trash.


Simon Ekpa is boy to your APC zoo government.

Okay. Shebi they will prevent his trial, prosecution and jailing in Finland also since he is their "boy"?

In case you don't know, it was our COAS and AGF, both appointed by an APC President, who got the ball rolling by petitioning Finland to act over Ekpa using Finland as a safe base to instigate terror and deaths in Nigeria.

Maybe Ekpa was Buhari's boy but he is certainly not someone Tinubu has time for or need. He is worthless to PBAT.

Csami:
O boy, you too dey vex o! No go die o!

I only "vex" with the people always hatefully on the case of my ethnic group.

Every other Nigerian, minus those responsible for terrorism and banditry, I have no issues with.
