Obi people won't drag him because he's from their region. Only them are free to make political choices.

God bless you. Every choice they and their kinsmen make is always correct.

99% of Igbos voting Obi is meritorious and detribalised voting.

Whereas a Yoruba voting for Tinubu is playing tribal politics and a "tribalist"..

garykoeman:
Anything for the Benjamin.

Indeed. Nollywood acting pays pittance and can never make Okonkwo rich lol. Meanwhile Momodu is one of the greatest political jobber to ever live in the history of Nigeria.

Nteogwuija:
Lol, can pls mention or sight the Constitution where it's stated that citizens are to hold governors or LGA Chairmen accountable?

Secondly, let's assume there's a clause supporting citizens holding their governors accountable. Are u not going to tag them Obedients should they protest against governors in APC states?

You need constitution to tell you that? This is why I specifically mentioned civic duty. It seems many Nigerians, as you confirm here, don't understand their civic responsibility.

This is why you wrongly believe it is only the President who should be in your line of fire always.

Felabrity:
so he was the one that lost to ireti

His new idea was making his son join adc since he can't contest in two parties?

He must be a gambler

The poster you quoted informed you the two are not father and son yet you still wrote the bolded. Na wa for Nigerians.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Just the way Lagos state governor goes to Lagos state indegene isn't it? Same president who doesn't allow Lagos state indegenes to rule Lagos state but for somehow you guys now want FCT indigene to be senator laughable. Why didn't he appoint FCT indegenes to the position if FCT minister?

Which of the Lagos Governors is not an indigene? Do you even know who a Lagos indigene is or you believe it is those with names of returned slaves like Doherty, Rhodes-Vivour, Riberio etal?

ZombieDredd:
Buhari must be rolling in his tight grave.

Subsidy monies not seen
But you keep borrowing more and more

Subsidy money not seen how? Aren't States and local Government getting at least 3 times what they were recieving before subsidy removal?

Go and lobby your Governor and LGA chairman if you want to "see" subsidy money and stop obsessing about Mr.President alone.

You guys deliberately refuse to do your civic duty, as done elsewhere globally, so you can indulge your unprogressive and bigoted desire for demarketing a President you dislike because of his ethnic and religious background.

It is nothing other than that because you would be more active lobbying those, leadership-wise , directly more important to you than the President, your Governors and local Government Chairmen, where you and all Nigerians live. I.e in a local government of a State in Nigeria.

helinues:
Early consolation when the losing is inevitable

Indeed. Typical Obidient behaviour when they know their messiah is done.

They begin going around preaching sanctimoniously to claim "Nigerian factor" denied their messiah.

Whereas they are supporting the worst market and ultimate charlatan in Nigerian politics who has nothing to offer leadership-wise. Peter Obi.

Kanwulia:
We are alive and well to see another round of elections come up in 2027. I wasted my time and energy discussing and psycho-analyzing politicians and the so-called “African-Musevenistic-styled” democracy practiced in Nigeria abd Africa as a whole.

This time around? I am not wasting my time with who wins or loses.

I will humor myself and read more for entertainment purposes only.

Nigerians really deserve the kinds of leaders the are cursed with. Let me face my “American T-Pain” jeje.

If you really mean the bolded, why are you seeking self-righteous attention here? Resolute and principled people make decisions and do it. They don't announce it to the world especially if their decision is to abstain from a process.

Ultimately, no one cares what you, one individual, will do or not do in relation to the 2027 Nigerian Presidential election.

garykoeman:
The guy don cashout from Atiku

Yes OO. Na so for Naija politics. 'Money miss road' Atiku jam cashout opportunist i.e Okonkwo, Momodu etal. There is always only one winner and it won't be Atiku on this occasion. Lol.

Parachoko:
What kind of Garbage statement is this?

Shocking to be honest. The guy does not sound like someone mentally healthy.

helinues:
I said it that Timi is not normal psychologically

No he is not. Imagine "Yoruba Muslim", just like these uncouth Nairalanders shout all the time, from the mouth of a so-called prominent Nigerian leader.

This Timi Frank has maturity and sense lower than that of the dregs of Nairaland. His utterance has to be the most stupidly divisive and incendiary I have seen in recent times.

Why does he not hand Northerners guns to go and begin fighting "Yoruba Moslems"? Idiot.

helinues:
Even after he has debunked it with no evidence from the media that made the ridiculous allegations

Heh, is it that some Nigerians are no longer interested in processing any information logically again as they are battered with hatred

Lol. You've gotten it precisely with the bolded especially "battered with hatred". Nothing to add.

BalogunIdowu:
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been officially named Central Bank of the Year 2026 by the Central Banking Awards Committee in London.

How's does this even help Nigeria as a whole

It helps by putting us firmly and irreversibly on the path to becoming a developed nation that your children and generations unborn will positively remember leaders of today for as facilitators of the great life and nation they have.

Same as Singaporeans remember Lee Kuan Yew well for reforms that made Singapore one of the greatest nations on earth to live and work in today, over a 30 years period, even as adults under his leadership back then had to endure and make sacrifices per the hardship reforms initially created.

erniok:
All of them wey dey criticise the award don keep quiet wen dem see say na true.

I really pity Nigeria as a nation. If Nigeria was human she would weep everyday for hosting so many children who hate her, call her ungracious names and wish her to fail to the extent every good that happens to her they wish to deny and discredit publicly.

Those of us who genuinely love Nigeria and match that with an obsessive interest in all the good happening to her are not surprised by this award which is only the beginning.

The woman below and others like her (i.e the finest technocrats in the World) have been gushing effusively about how impressed they are with the reforms of Tinubu and where such can take Nigeria if allowed to achieve desired result

Haters can hate but they always lose in the end. Law of life because God/Karma and even Earth spirit does not like haters. God bless Nigeria plus all patriotic and progressive Nigerians.

Simply cut and past the title of thread , shown below,in Google. Takes seconds to see many hits revealing knowledge you are asking fellow Nairalanders to provide you with.

CBN Named “Central Bank Of The Year 2026”

Below is what you get.

@Haters of Nigeria and Tinubu, please kindly remember this award means the Central bank of Nigeria, under the leadership of Cardoso, is the best in the whole wide world. Keep hating. 😎

lawani:
I wanted to tell him the same thing

Lagos does not need more than 50k police to start with and total salary can't exceed 200 billion naira per annum. 50k assault rifles is less than 50 billion and you can't use ammo of 50 billion naira a year. Total 300 billion naira. Other expenses are not much. Even if you need armoured cars, you won't need much

Good post making a lot of sense. To me, better some admit their real problems with State policing rather than giving patronising excuses that makes no sense.

nairalanda1:
You don't have to agree with me, you know.

Yes I know. It is also my duty, as a consciencous Nigerian, to ensure you don't misinform others over important matters.

If you don't endorse State policing, give valid reasons for your position and refrain from using propaganda and misinformation.

nairalanda1:
All the more reason why it cannot be effective. If they need army to back them up, then they are useless as a state police or proto-state police.

EIther your state finds 20 trillion or more naira annually for state police or forget about it.

You always come out with ludicrous figures and claims to support your viewpoints I believe you adopt dogmatically rather than objectively.

If the 2026 budget for the NPF is #1.31 trillion Naira, where do you get your ludicrous #20 trillion Naira "annually" you claim Nigerian States need to fund State-controlled police forces?

You make sense sometime but are difficult to take seriously because your arguments sometimes appears driven by your emotions and sentiments rather than cold facts and verified statistics as the case will always be for those dispassionately objective.

Sonofgod1990:
Police is not meant to counter terrorist it's the work of soldiers. Even soldiers do run away from the bandit this days

Not true. All members of a nations armed forces must work together, in a joint task force, to deal with internal terrorism.

External threats is what the Army, Navy and Air force of nations have exclusive authority to fight. Even then they can deploy specialists from the police and other complementary forces.

Thundafireseun:
And some people are advocating for state policing

Yes, because developments like this, if true, show why the NPF (Nigerian Police Force) is moribund and ineffective. NPF was okay probably till the end of the Nineties but Nigeria has changed vastly since then.

Meaning State policing is the solution and change required for crime in Nigeria that has changed significantly to become a far bigger existential threat than before because of terrorism, nationally organised kidnapping and banditry influenced by religious extremism.

MaziObinnaokija:
A potential CUSTOMER in d making. NO VACANCY IN ALAUSA

Lol. Jimi Agbaje 2.0 😅😂

Report from an X user appears to confirm this. Apparently, a group of Nigerians stabbed a protestor.

amazingspiderma:
Using AI along as your absolute reference is not good enough.

The fact, this issue is raising dust makes it most likely true.

From Germany to South Africa is a downgrade.
An attempt to save face.

That is a fact. It's common sense.

Is it AI alone I have used? My use of AI is a guide. Afterwards, confirming I was on the right path assisted by AI, FFK himself officially debunked the claim as fake.

You time-wasters, when it is simple to do so, have not conclusively moved to show a credible source from Germany or Nigeria confirming what you claim is "likely true".

You're proving my talk of poor human resources if talk of "likely true" alone is how things work in your world. Even more ludicrous is your "raising dust" claim.

"Buhari dead and replaced by Jubrin from Sudan" did not trend and "raise dust" globally for many months or even beyond a year? How true was the stupid claim ultimately?

Ridiculous that you make the claim an allegation, easy to debunk or prove, is "likely true" yet doing research for a short period of time to prove your case is beyond you.

Believe me, showing how we differ, If I was on the side hoping this claim is true, I would have shown conclusively it is to taunt FFK officially or left this thread entirely once I discover it is fake.

Didi2d:
I remember when the rumours of one jubril ruling Nigeria in place of buhari. I was dumbfounded and surprised when a supposed matured and educated man from the east was arguing with me.
if I no get common sense I for believe the man say no be buhari dey rule Nigeria. Because this man was so confident saying buhari was cloned

I was shocked too because I was witnessing, in HD, brainwashed psychosis taking over the minds and reasoning of so many you'd want to believe are sane adults capable of rational and logical thinking.

There really is no magic behind the success of many in life other than the fact they have minds that are always objective, critical-thinking and rational thus helping them to make winning decisions always.

SisterAnn:
But you believed when they reported that a screwdriver seller from Nnewi lobbied Trump to bomb sokoto on Christmas day right?

Your type is not new in the snake oil market.

Grow up and learn to focus on topic under discussion and not other posters.

Nothing concerns me with any screwdriver seller. I have done my bit to expose obvious fake news.

You can continue to dance around the dying flame of discredited and deliberate misinformation.

PulaPower:
Dude is highly brilliant..

Indeed.. One of the solid and thorough professionals who served Nigeria well without noise or fanfare.

I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavours .

BlakKluKluxKlan:
This is not how to play the opposition.

This is doing more damage than good to this country.
Those in opposition consist of some of the dregs of the society.

Precisely. Especially a certain group ( be like see na ban to mention their name 😁) known to terrorise other with misinformation, fake news and outlandish lies like "Buhafi dead and replaced by Jubrin from Sudan".

georgeakins:
Fake news from the stable of our blodas.
Dem go tire!

Lol. Who else?

Like Fabrizio Romano would say, "here we go !!! ". Official rejection of the fake news arriving today at 2.44pm. Courtesy of Punch news. Did not take long at all.


https://punchng.com/germany-did-not-reject-my-ambassadorial-nomination-says-fani-kayode/?amp

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has denied a media report claiming that he was rejected by the German government as an ambassador.

Peoples Gazette had reported on Monday that the former minister’s ambassadorial posting was rejected over alleged ethnic and religious slurs.

He said the opposition was “pained” by his appointment and was making efforts to discredit him.

The former minister vowed to serve the country despite what he described as attempts to undermine his nomination.

“Fake news everywhere. These opposition elements are so pained by my appointment, and they are doing everything to discredit me and scuttle it. Whether they like it or not, I will serve my country! Keep crying!” he wrote.

Memphis357:
You go explain explain explain tiiiiiiire!!🤣

Lol 😆. I know bruv. Yet, let it be on record at least one Nairalander raised the possibility this is fake news when it is later conclusively revealed that the claim is indeed fake.
