That your Oyel wey dey make your head swell up like Garri inside water, you go soon dey drink am. Electric vehicles are taking over and by 2040, there will be no single petrol vehicle on earth. Many industrial machines too are now using electricity, you will soon start hawking your Oyel inside Lagos holdups.

But in support of your opinion on regional government, I can assure you that even if Tinubu doesn’t implement the regional government option which was abolished by Aguyi Ironsi using Decree 32 and 34 of 1966, definitely, Tinubu will devolve more powers and responsibilities and resources to the State by amending the Constitution.

💯% correct. This is why Nigerians must support and endure with Tinubu. He is the only one who can do the bolded.

We must not elect Atiku, because he will kowtow to what safeguards the interest of the North which is always the opposite of what is best for Nigeria.

Critical thinking Nigerians will know Obi is not an option because he would be the most cowardly and most impotent man to ever be President.

Anyone who truly understands Nigeria will know what Tinubu has achieved so far is because he built many powerful and silent loyalists home and abroad that allows him implement reforms Nigeria truly need. Even in the military, Tinubu has many who fear and respect him.

Obi is totally empty in that capacity and will be a lame duck President from day one. For example, Obi will never be able to bully through tax reforms as Tinubu did given the opposition from the North.

It was Northern legislators, many that Tinubu has had positive impact on their career, who helped to carry the day for Tinubu. Obi has none. Zero. No mentees and no loyal foot soldiers.

Nigerians are not a people who think critically. This is why some can be shouting Obi. Our Nation is not like the USA where there is institutional integrity and the power is in the office of the Presidency.

In Nigeria the power is in the individual who is President. Obi is worthless in that regard. He is someone no one respects and very few will obey let alone bow for as is needed for a President to lead well in a nation full of some of the most difficult people in the world.

A Nigerian President must be a strong, authoritative and well-supported man who can tame monsters because, unluckily, we have far too many in comparison to other nations of the world. Obi is never that leader. He never was and never will be.

@OP.

💯% correct. Yoruba Governors already bravely and unitedly agitated for this in 2021. The problem is that Nigerians are not serious people .

If we want the best life we can live, only a month of downing tools and going on strike demanding regional government, then Government will oblige.

Government is never greater than the people if a people recognise their own power and are ambitious enough to be ready to sacrifice for what they want.

Nigerians should have come out massively to back the agitations of the guys below in 2021 but they are too divided, too unserious, too unfocused and lazy to do what must be done when it must be done.

LordIsaac:
I pity people still thinking this man is their messiah.

Indeed. Obi is a disgrace. Fulanis are "stereotyped" now because he wants Northern votes whereas the reality is that Nigeria must take them to task and ask them to shape up or ship out !!!

Nigeria should not be indulging Fulanis let alone allow them to pretend to be victims as Gumi etal always cites. Their leaders, like Atiku, failed them not Nigeria.

FSBoperator:
The Hausa-Fulani have an etched negativec stereotype of a typical Ibo man .

He thinks by appealing to them , he will get their votes.

Tah!

Precisely. Obi is so dull. He believes he can deceive with words and platitudes. Northern leaders failed their own people by refusing to develop them adequately.

The script today is to use terror and deaths to claim what they believe will advance them above others. Especially Southerners they know have left them far behind.

From clerics to politicians and cultural leaders, it is all about blaming the South.

This is why the North is full of a leadership system that talks and act as if the South somehow bamboozled and conned them.

They show no factual recognition at all for the fact that Northern leaders failed Northerners for decades and continue to fail them today. Sh

My family escaped generational poverty, before I was born, because of Awolowo's (RIP Sir) free education.

Should Northern leaders not focus on trying to upgrade and liberate their human resources instead of deliberately oppressing and depressing them so a very small elite class can live in stupendous opulence?

The core North is the main area of Nigeria where a compound full of Ferraris and Lamborghinis can be surrounding by absolute squalor, diseases and deprivation.

Honestly, aside for pride in myself and my lineage, I am ashamed of how black Africans, especially of the West African and sub-saharan subset, underwhelm massively.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Obi na proper mad man. His hypocrisy is too much since he is the chief tribalist himself.

This is all Obi knows to do as a cowardly opportunist. I.e try and use deceit in the hope he will profit. What exactly is he talking about claiming Fulanis are discriminated against?

Aren't they killing innocent Nigerians and threatening to destroy Nigeria with their expansionist and jihadists terror?

fasho01:
Sheikh Gumi better not unleash his minions on this truthful cleric

Lol. Gumi will not be happy with this guy advocating the harshest punishment against his beloved bandits. Gumi should be rebuked everywhere he goes.

See the article below where he dares to warn the Nigerian military not to provide bandit who, ordinarily, would be unalived on sight in any serious nation of the world.

We southerners are the problem because we indulge the excesses and backwardness of Northerners rather than make them conform to progressive ideals.

Counterigbolies:


Obi will defeat Tinubu?


U better wake up

They are so delusional. Obi will be disgraced in 2027. The 2027 election is not even about him or his inconsequential Obidients.

HacheNoire:
They will all be disappointed and brought to their knees at the polls.

Many of their foot soldiers and politicians will be sent into retirement, never to rise again.

Indeed. The uncomfortable truth many don't want to accept is that Tinubu is not GEJ and Oyo kidnapping cannot be turned into the Chibok girls propaganda because Yorubas knows their premium worth to Nigeria meaning PBAT cannot be bullied out of office with sponsored terror.

Right now, it is mainly only SW and SS giving Nigeria life. Cold and brutal truth. Those two regions are in a position of strength. The world cried for the Chibok girls. Michelle Obama made it a personal mission

Now, the world is not saying anything about Oyo because it has become clear Born-to-rule Northerners are behind cynical sponsorship of terrorism.

They can do their worst. They won't win. It is Tinubu till 2031 and Nigeria will rise by grace of God.

zoedew:
That is not the reality. The Fulani play exactly as Atiku does. The Fulani are masters of stealth. Usman Dan Fodio never disclosed his real intentions until he had the noose in place! Ask Alimi of Ilorin and Nigerians who lived under Buhari notably Tinubu himself!

Exactly. Buhari deceived many who believed he could be a great President by unravelling as an ethnocentric character who surrounded himself with a Fulani cabal he ruled through and allowed to do as they pleased.

@OP.


Lol..Obi is.not even in the reckoning for 2027. He is done in Nigerian Politics.

georgeakins:
Who cares about your hatred?
You wey never chop dey hate

Don't mind him. This is revelation the problem of Nigeria begins and ends with ordinary Nigerians. Has Wike ever failed his constituency as a leader? No. Never.

Nigerians are their own biggest enemies. We need so many solutions yet we find reasons for attacking and disliking the few leaders producing quality solutions like Wike to then be praise-singing failures like Atiku, Obi, Malami etal

Bluntemperor:
Many against him are just terrible 😔 with anger and unforgiven spirit,too.
These haters cum bitter people,do it since they lost elections in 2023,yet they have nothing to talk,if Hon.Wike had not been performing,it would have been another story entirely,but Wike is the Best thing to happen in FTC, Abuja-and since it's creation.
May God continues to bless him and his Family.

Completely agree. Has Wike ever failed the test of delivering as a leader? No. Those who attack Wike are indeed terrible people.

helinues:
They can see future doom for others but they can't see the future prosperity of their home region. No be juju be that

Yes OO. Their region is abandoned and avoided by all Nigerians and a last resort for only our agbo sellers and tailors as even they confess.

Meanwhile the SW giving Nigeria semblance of serious and progressive nationhood, alongside the SS, they will be predicting doom and gloom for daily.

Travel advisory info of most Western nations, for their citizens, insist on avoidance of virtually all SE State. That reality is not enough to make them focus on how much work they have to do to rehabilitate themselves and their region.

It is the SW they obsess about malevolently daily.

helinues:
The chronic bitterness can never allowed them to concentrate on how to better their own region

Tottenham almost relegated because they focused on hating on Arsenal instead of focusing on their own team

Lol. I am an Arsenal fan. True talk. Even Chelsea jubilated they lost to City because they believed that loss meant we would not be champions. Now they do not have champions league football.

Helinues, Alabosi ni awon people yen. This is a time all Nigerians should mind their own business yet it is Yoruba land they talk about as if they have ever cared for us.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Lmao. You people never mind your own business.

Your homeland below.

That's because they have been indoctrinated from birth to wish the worst for Yorubas and the SW. They are the ones commenting negatively the most about this and that will happen to the SW. Sad and pathetic.

tishbite41:
Babachir Lawal wan finish Atiku o

No to Fulani presidency

Absolutely. The only thing Fulanis owe Nigeria is real focus on tackling the aberrant ones amongst them so they end the insecurity they are causing across Nigeria.

Ewedegubbler:
His children all look short and mean faced. Future tormentors of Nigerians spotted

Lol. Their father only torments those who deserve it. Like Atiku. Wike's kids will be good leaders if they are like their dad.

LordBiden:
He is not wild,he is someone who says things the way it it's regardless of who is hurt.

Precisely. Wike does not cap and has no time for politically correct talk. This is why many hate him.

In every role as a political leader, i.e Governor and FCT Minister, can anyone say Wike has not delivered?

Bluntemperor:
Many against him are just terrible 😔 with anger and unforgiven spirit,too.
These haters cum bitter people,do it since they lost elections in 2023,yet they have nothing to talk, if Hon.Wike had not been performing,it would have been another story entirely,but Wike is the Best thing to happen in FTC, Abuja-and since it's creation.
May God continues to bless him and his Family.

Indeed. I love Wike die.I am big on leaders who manage to deliver solutions because we need of lot of solutions yet we do not have enough leaders delivering as much solutions as needed for Nigeria to become a developed nation.

I always watch Wike's engagement with journalists on NTA. Many are like Q&A session where Journos grill Wike.

Anyone who has seen even one of it will know that Wike is a performer dedicated to delivering solutions.

Charismatic dude. Even the journalists are laughing with him by the end of the session. A real leader who understands Nigeria and knows what he is doing.

People can say what they want about Wike but leaders must be judged on their capacity to deliver solutions.

Good Governor and now arguably best FCT Minister ever. I personally rate Wike highly.

SixSeven:
Why not continue to chat with your AI since you can feel it

Yeah I will. Go to church and pray.

Kushites:
This is the person that DUNDERHEADS are insulting everyday.

Heaping abuse and curses on, everyday.

SOMEBODY MAKING SILENT MOVES THAT WILL TRANSFORM THIS COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER LONG AFTER HE'S GONE.

They want to vote him out so they can return to SHARING MONEY AND DOING NOTHING.

Vote him out and return to your uselessness as a country.

Well-said. The most vocal critics of PBAT are just ethno-religious bigots because the facts , beyond doubt, show he is a transformative President.

BlackMenDumb:
One thing I hate in my life is people that make mouth without any impact.

You called him a clown while you are inside your house, and he's busy scheming to enforce sharia law.

Who are the bandit clown to come to Oyo State and kidnap kids that even the president can't do anything about? Have you asked yourself that question?

Or just to come to nairaland to chest beat?

My friend go and sit down!

Okay. Let us see how this guy will succeed "forcing" Sharia on the SW.

2mch:
He is a real and dangerous threat. He associates with Gumi and invited him for conference in Oyo State. Gumi who was rejected from Saudi for obvious reasons. Please dont come to this thread and minimize this threat. If you are an associate of his, be bold enough to say that or leave this thread alone.

Lol. Me, an associate of Gumi? The Point I am making is that the SW cannot be overwhelmed.

Recognise the reality. I.e Nigeria is now very difficult to secure because of how we failed to upscale policing capacity to keep up with best global standards over decades.

Still, you are hyping a glorified clown. The FG cannot be telling Nigerian everything they are doing regarding.security threats.

Did Buhari and Malami inform Nigerians of their plot to entrap and repatriate Kanu to Nigeria?

Typing:
The Train has since left its Station.

Shari'a law has since been established in the South West. It is forced on Yoruba people and there is nothing you can do about it.

Lol. What you desperately desire to see and actual reality on ground are very different things. Keep dreaming.

2mch:
Its not the time to pretend we dont see it. Everyone is at alert now and dealing with all threats quickly. I am calling attention to this person to the right authorities who must at least jail him for incitement and terroristic threats.

He is no threat at all. Just another rabble rouser. Leaders cannot be shouting and panicking because ordinary people are doing that.

Leaders should move silently and get results You are giving this dude way too much credit and importance.

ResidentSnitch:
Mind my business? So that they will overrun SW and infiltrate other regions while Tinumbu and people like you continue to play the ostrich? No way!
We must keep on talking. Hopefully, one of you will get sense and start doing the right thing.

Tell me how exactly they will overrun the SW. Of course terrorists will have success. Nigerian policing is in the dark ages and ridiculously inadequate.

Will anyone even pick up the rapid response hotline anywhere in the SW, other than Lagos, let alone despatch an armed team to arrive and deal with reported terror threat in like ten minutes?

We don't have that capacity. Time you people face this fact. We have a lot of work to do to reform Nigeria because of what past leaders have failed to do over decades.

That does not mean we all lose our head and begin panicking because some evil people are trying to use terror to get their way.

All what we are seeing now is a ramping up of terror in the SW to discredit Tinubu so born-to-rule Northern supremacists can sieze power.

It won't work and , by the grace of God, Nigeria will get to the stage where permanent solutions begin to move us in the right direction.

ResidentSnitch:
This same ostrich-like character of yours and some of your people. The same way you were warned severally some couple of years ago that terrorists were surrounding SW, and you waved it off claiming it was a propaganda from people who lost election. Now see what is happening in SW.
You have started with the same attitude again. Continue with your own version of Tinumbu's " where are the cows?"

You guys talk too much. Were you the ones who fought Malami and Buhari to set a precedence for Nigeria via creation of Amotekun?

Will your Governors and leaders ever have the balls to do what is shown below? Mind your business.

Yorubas will always handle their business. It is emotional, weak and ineffective men who make noise.

Yorubas will always move appropriately because they have the capacity to. They were the only ones, even as you lot make empty noise always, to fight Malami and Buhari to deliver Amotekun at a time Fulani terrorism was threatening to consume the South.

All what we are seeing now is sponsored terror by desperate born-to-rule Northern supremacists looking to sieze the Presidency.

LagosOrigin:
Yorubas brought this disgrace upon themselves. And there so called brother is the president o..

President wey no send anybody mama 😂😂😂

You guys are always emotional. It is your nature. Yorubas do not need to make noise. They will move when they have to. Sharia has no place in Yorubaland.
