It's actually 24 years, not 16. After 2031, a region in the North may rule for 8 years, Igbo takes 8 years, another region in the North 8 years, and then, perhaps yoruba.

You guys make me laugh with how you ignore reality on ground for your flights of fantasy. 24 years ko 250 years ni.

Bro,10 years tops and the Presidency will effectively be ceremonial with real socio-economic power residing in the regions. If is happening even now but you just can't see it.

If SW leaders did what is shown below in 2021, showing they know their own worth to Nigeria and are not scared of Fulani, you think you will keep the SW and others who believe they are premium regions of our nation from influencing their own socio-economic direction and fortunes as was done against Awolowo and our past leaders?

Keep fooling yourself. One day it will be clear to you that once the two most important and indispensable regions of Nigeria, i.e the SW and SS, truly value themselves enough to insist they will no longer be taken for granted then they will always have the leverage to have their way.

That is going to be the case more under leaders like Tinubu, Wike and co. All these childish predictions you guys are making are just laughable because you make no allowance for how Nigeria is evolving and changing.

Even before Tinubu leaves in 2031, he would have strngthened regions immeasurably to the extent the likes of the SW, that you love to hate and envy, wont care about your silly Presidency or Aso Rock any more.

Op, i laugh at your infantille predictions about Nigeria's political trajectory in anoyher decade or so.
One thing you failed to factor in, is terrorism. If the fulanis are unaliving us, most especially yorubas with gusto and reckless abandon despite a sitting yoruba president , what do you think will be the fate of yorubas (and the rest of hapless nigerians) when power goes back to the north in 2031 for another 8years?
Another 8 years of fulani rule in nigeria and they will totally obliterate the whole flippin' country.

Well-said. I don't understand how some Nigerians reason. Even when you try refraining from insulting others, because it is never classy to hurl insult casually, some Nigerians make it hard with how they think and talk.

Nigeria is currently at the edge of a steep precipice with Fulani-led terrorism, as you stated, at the core of everything. Terrorism that is killing Nigerians physically and crippling our nation socio-economically.

There is real resentment of the North, especially their leaders arrogant demand for power when they are the main headache of Nigeria today.

Most infuriating to sensible Nigerians is how Northern leaders like Atiku do zilch to transfrom the extremely dire situation of the North for the better yet they arrogantly fight for presidential office.

Wike and Tinubu are showing that Southerners exist who will 'change' it for the arrogant, born-to-rule, hegemonistic and entitled North.

I think prediction of rotation past the next 5 to 9 years is very premature and misguided in a Nigeria drifting badly because some continue making the mistake thinking the status quo can be retained in a nation being destroyed by terrorism plus very deep and even toxic ethno-religious division.

People forget Nigeria is more or less at War. What exactly is predictable during Wartime in a nation talk less of a power rotation agreement the North itself tried to renege on when Atiku, assisted by Tabuwal and Sule Lamido etal, ran to replace Buhari in 2023?

Sibrah:
Petrol is like egg or bread right now. It is deregulated. Stop asking govt to say something about Iran war.

The govt officials makes sure the crude dangote gets goes through intl agents.

Bruv, I don explain this point tire but Nigerians just see and hear what they want even if that is the opposite of reality.

Ayomid3h:
$7 per litre in USA

Keep blaming tinubu

Dont mind them. When some of us warned that the arbitrary, dictatorial, lawless and bullying actions of dictators like Hitler, Trump etal must not be supported and endorsed blindly, because such may bring untold pain and suffering to many, they will tell you "shut up terror sympathiser".

What is Tinubu to do over the actions of Trump, the messiah of some Nigerians, that has now plunged the world into a fuel crisis that may persist and worsen the longer the conflict with Iran endures?

Same people who literally told Trump to do as he pleases with Nigeria and the world are today complaining and blaming Tinubu over the results of the rash actions of Trump they now want to blame PBAT for.

HoleLickerz:
Also your thinking process is a reflection of your behavior. Since you believe everyone has alterior motives for doing things that speaks volumes.

It is always gullible people like you who make fatal errors you will never get a second chance to regret or rectify. Yet you'll insult other far more emotionally intelligent and critical-thinking than you are.

Please show, as I have demanded others do with not a single person taking up the challenge, the history of "Mike Arnold" before he supposedly become Mayor of Blanco, a city of only 2000 people, in Texas.

GloriousGbola:
the same people stanning for mike arnold were stanning for irans imam of peace years ago

They're all flip-flopping hypocrites who do not know what they want because they stand for nothing confirming the adage "those who stand for nothing fall for everything".

naturefellow:
stop exposing your ignorance online. If you don't know, do some research.

Why don't you show us the results of your own research. You may be surprised how little you know about "Mike Arnold" simply because you are a disciple of the mantra "an enemy of my enemy is my friend".

You lot pride yourselves as intelligent but most Africans I know display more emotional intelligence and capacity for critical thinking than Nigerians who will begin offering their daughters to a total stranger merely because he attacks and criticises their bitter enemy.

Below is the truth about Mike Arnold. I can get more specific if you wish while I will await the result of your "research" about him.

HoleLickerz:
Some people keep on saying what is Mike Arnold's own with Nigeria. My own is he has deep Nigerian roots. Number one he is a Jesu Kristi, he probably has Nigerian friends who where wonderful to him in his childhood days. Three he has probably and allegedly ...... some Naija babes and his life was transformed for the better.

When people say he is not a stake holder in Nigeria I just laugh ....he dude is more Nigerian than most Nigerians.

Prove his "deep Nigerian roots" na. In fact, show history of "Mike Arnold" extending beyond his sudden appearance as Mayor of Blanco, Texas.

It is an if you people just love being manipulated, used and duped by your oppressors.

osuofia2:
We all know what Pantami can do, this is the least expected of him, stop defending the indefensible

Defend what indefensible? Unlike you lot who are emergency lovers of Nigeria and post-2026 critics of Pantami, I started speaking against the former Minister as far back as when Buhari employed him ICT minister.

I was one of those who insisted Buhari was employing a terror sympathiser, who is biased and will not serve all Nigerians impartially and well, because same Pantami had wept, under GEJ, that "see how they kill our brothers like pigs" when his so-called brothers are hardened and genocidal Boko Haram terrorists and killers.

Pantami, as a cleric, also spoke of a readiness to fight Jihad against Christians in the North.

Still, Buhari waved all that off as "youthful exuberance" to insist he will retain Pantami as ICT Minister despite our protests.

I was even openly critical of how it is possible Pantami was compromising NIN for use to provide non-Nigerian terrorists with Nigerian passport.

All that aside, I will never side with "Mike Arnold" deliberate peddling of incendiary and inciting fake news when I know he the other side of the coin to the likes of Pantami. Unlike you and others here, Arnold is not suddenly my messiah because he attacks Pantami.

Same way I am not ignorant of Pantami is how I am knowledgeable of "Mike Arnold" to know his real agenda is malevolent. Never altruistic.

Nigerians should be united rebuking his manipulations as other Africans would have the sense to do instead of gullible swallowing his deception.

Our greatest strength lies in being able to deal with our own erring citizens and terrorists instead of being fanboys of foreigners, with hidden agendas, we then transform into messiahs in a world where everyone is looking to gain advantages manipulating others who are gullible and can't think logically/independently.

GloriousGbola:
Extremely unlikely that Pantami, a sunni who has never spoken out for shias zakzaky and IMN will be crying for an alpha shia apostate

fake news and manipulation everywhere

Precisely the right word. No people more predisposed to trending malevolent fake news against their own people and nation than Nigerians because we naturally hate ourselves to the extent we never engage our brain.

Anyone can investigate this "Mike Arnold". Nothing on him other than his overnight fake Pastor and "Mayor of Blanco" credentials.

Almost crystal clear he is a carefully rehabilitated and contrived creation of the USA ( likely a former criminal pardoned on the condition he will do dirty jobs for America) like the many USA create in secret.

Careful inspection shows Arnold talks of nothing and nowhere else, in thee entire world, aside Nigeria specifically in a trouble-making and divisive manner designed to attract conflict to our nation yet he has nothing at all, no history whatsoever, to do with Nigeria till recently.


This was same character , posing as a saviour evangelist as white colonial masters did, lwho headed to the middle belt of Nigeria to be cobbling together videos he wished to use to convince the world of "Christian genocide" to put a big target 🎯 on the back of Nigeria thus creating to justification for whatever agenda him and others are pursuing.

No fan of Pantami at all but this is crass idiocy and some Nigerians should be ashamed those who view them as simpletons, from the horrible days of the slave trade, are patronising and manipulating them, towards their own self-destruction, so easily as if sure we have not evolved from the illiterate slaves they carted to the USA to work on plantations.

Fake news. Amusing to see Nigerians keying into the agenda of an agent of destabilisation i.e "Mike Arnold".

The guy is a vindictive 'ghost' (CIA-created spy) malevolently obsessed with Nigeria.

I challenge anyone to provide history, or even pictures alone, of this "Mike Arnold" before he suddenly appeared from nowhere to supposedly became Mayor of Blanco, a city in Texas with a population of circa 2,000.

He is a contrived scam but trust self-hating and 'simple' Nigerians to always be tools in the hands of those who wish to use them to destroy themselves and their own nation.

Any Nigerian who knows what "Mike Arnold" is will not quote him let alone assist his evil agenda.

The expired gaslighter and charlatan still yapping. Obi, because he is unintelligent, will never understand when events have overtaken his mischief-making and senseless, hypocritical and empty messianic sermons

A man who never talks of IPOB socio-economically damaging menace and violence in his native SE believes he can gaslight Tinubu, to profit electorally, over the far more ethno-religiously complicated issue of national insecurity.

Obi is too 'slow' walahi.

Predictor3:
By then the Yoruba nation will be on its own. Nigerians can't continue this way

100% correct.

duro4chang:
Whereas some region will never taste that post. No matter how they try. They will never.
God bless the Yoruba people

I don't see those haters of their fellow Nigerians and enemies of our nation leading Nigeria as she currently is i.e under the centralised system Ironsi created.

Time will cheat them of that opportunity because Nigeria will naturally settle into a regional arrangement in the near future or seperate totally. Thos are the only inevtiable choices.

No man can cheat evolution. Power generation fully deregulated, regional/State police an inevitability, intractable, irreconcilable and rapidly worsening differences over religion, ethnicity etc, etc shows where Nigeria is heading that only a miracle will stop.

It is 100% impoosible for Nigeria to remain as she is.

SadiqBabaSani:
If Igbos like they should not plan meticulously and Execute to perfection, Nigeria is a ground where playing nice gets you no where other than destination failure.

When Tinubu is sworn in for second term in 2027, He will lead the country for another 4yesr final Yoruba tenure after which power will rotate back to Northern Nigeria.

The North will then be expected to lead for 8yrs with an Igbo Vice President after which in 2039, an Igbo President is expected to as a matter of the continuous existence of the country.

Pedestrian thinking. Nigeria is changing fast and the union is unravelling. You and others on this thread are basing your calculation on conditions that may not obtain in future.

What is almost certain is that Tinubu will win in 2027 and be replaced by a Northerner in 2031. Looking at 2039 is senseless. A lot would have changed by then and we may be at the stage of "to your tent O Isreal" by then.

Too much toxically selfish ethnic, religious, feudal, regional and sectional interest for Nigeria to be one and function as it is today by 2039.

Daguccizgreat:
You Apc guys are hilarious and mischievous. Kwankwaso that your master Tinubub has been eyeing to bring in as VP in 2027 suddenly has no value because he wants run with Obi. I tire for una

You know that for a fact?

Gerhards:
Iragbiji calamity is going back home come 2027, not even 40 Governors is going to save him

Lol. Nothing funnier to behold than those with zero capacity for confronting reality. This is because t it is guaranteed those sort, like you, will cry painfully in the end.

Daguccizgreat:
That's the ticket we need to send the failure in Aso rock packing

You desperate guys will even say same if Obi is running with Malami. Kwankwaso is a joke abeg. Hi is the most local of local champions.

You can keep dreaming though we know you people are breathing "anyone but Tinubu" air so you don't realise how damaging such is.

helinues:
Imagine the guy above crying profusely as if they collected his biscuits from him

They will wail tired

Lol.Helinues, many in life make excuses when bested by better men. They're are born losers who, like Obi and his Obidients, make excuses "crying profusely as if they collected their biscuits".

Whereas driven and aspirational people learn from talented winners like Tinubu so they too become winners.

SadiqBabaSani:
I don't care about any El Rufai, Atiku or Peter Obi, most of them politicians are just the same with minor differences.

APC is the most evil thing to befall Nigeria

Stop deceiving yourself. Nigerian political Parties are Parties in name only and not ideology.

If it makes you sleep well then continue to see APC as "more evil" than others. Whatever floats your boat mate.

Richtaiwo:
That is not the issue. Please stop talking about bananas when oranges are the headline. The discussion about dominance concerns political superiority, not the “common man.” There are several other threads where the plight of the common man is being discussed.

When Pitobi was washing toilets and helping celebrities with their luggage at the airport, how exactly did that benefit the “common man”? Stop mixing up unrelated issues.

That guy's capacity for logical thinking is zero. His sort aren't ashamed that Obi they tout as the Messiah has no mentees and built nothing.

Nada. Yet they wonder why politicians gravitate towards PBAT, who built APC and ACN plus elevated many to the apex of political office, as if he is a human political magnet.

SadiqBabaSani:
Mumu party 😁 APC is a very, very evil wicked invention.

PDP was bad and corruption thrived so to say, but you see APC ehn, APC is evil, very evil and corruption is not just thriving it has become a way of life because of the hardship and corrupt life of the top leadership of the executive, legislative and Judiciary.

This is a country of 160 million human beings who are multi dimensionally poor let that sink in. 160 million souls ushered into poverty and yet what matters to these broom waving witches and devils is 31:36

Spare us the sermon. Those who are multi-dimensionally poor only got to that stage after Tinubu became President or after APC gained power in 2015?

There is not a soul more ignorant in the entire universe than those still talking about APC and PDP in a nation where political Parties have no ideological integrity and are merely the typification of individuals and cabals leading them.

For proof that dispels your simplistically ignorant take on reality, tell us who out of Atiku, El Rufai, Malami and many other, now posing as messiahs after joining ADC today, were not in APC yesterday.

helinues:
Total dominance. Follow those who sabi road if you don't want to get lost

Indeed. Tinubu is far superior to his detractors. A titan. This is why all follow him whereas Atiku Kate and Obidients osers claim he is "buying support".

Yet they forgot Tinubu, like all great politicians, had countless mentees and loyalist before becoming President whereas Obi never had a single one and Atiku had only a handful.

slickbak:
Sound it. The game is the game.

Indeed. Living by your bravery (Tinubu) or dying by our cowardice (GEJ) is the difference between winning and losing at the highest level of politics.

Even decent and honourable Northerners are behind Tinubu because they know the South never dared try anything similar with Buhari as El Rufai, Atiku, Ndume, Bala Mohammed, Sule Lamido (the liar who said PBAT had little to with NADECO) etc,etc are doing today.

It is as if they do not respect a Southerner as President whereas it is one group of Southerners, never ever capable of seeing the big picture, behind the disrespect and arrogance of born-to-rule Northerner as if they don't understand this is a crucial battle Nigeria cannot lose.

If they aren't going to respect a Southern President and let him rule, plus make decisions independently, then we should separate. Enough of this garbage of born-to-rule elements in the North fighting and disrespecting Southern President as if he stole their birthright. Who questioned the many wrong Buhari did in power let alone Southerners?

This is a battle defining how to use power Tinubu must win so that future Southern President will know how to leader like PBAT, to the glory of Southerners, rather than GEJ who was a waste of five years.

DaddyJapan:
^^^It is your prerogative to ride shotgun for a politically exposed person (PEP) who does not give a rat's arrrssse about your existence.
After all, internalised oppression is real.

Precisely. Which intelligent person believes the highly vindictive and Vendetta-driven El Rufai, after being denied a Ministerial appointment he blames Ribadu and Tinubu for, is fighting for the good governance of Nigeria?

Seeplusplus:
Oga, keep quiet.
El Rufai left office 3 years ago, they've been investigating him since then. Now that he said he tapped their phone line, they now found out he has a property in Egypt. As usual, court will strike out this case and ignorant Nigerians like you will say the judges are corrupt. Elrufai has been in ICPC custody for weeks now, and they are still looking for evidence.
Before you accuse someone, have your evidence on ground. This is why EFCC and ICPC hardly get these politicians convicted.

How can you keep someone in your custody and start looking for evidence? Why not gather your evidence, arrest him and charge him to court?

Sha, they know majority of Nigerians are dunces, thus they fall for media trial

You should keep quiet. Imagine calling majority of Nigeria "dunces". What are you? Same you would have said, last year, that "dem no born Tinubu to detain Malami and El Rufai".

Where are both now? I really can't understand how some of you have such poor and unintelligent understanding of leadership in Nigeria and the power play that defines it given that North and South are like two entirely different nations forced to live together with the North believing Nigeria is their fiefdom.

They did this same bullcrap to GEJ and got away with it. El Rufai came for Tinubu and went above what is acceptable attacking our President.

He was openly insulting our President and accusing him with so many many unsubstantiated claims daily. We all saw this.

There is a cold war going on Tinubu is aware he must win against those who always feel they are born-to-rule Nigeria. Even when they are not in charge they believe others do not have the right to lead in ways they do not approve of.

Tinubu has to do what he has to.This is power play face-off you don't understand at all yet believe others are "dunces".

SMerchant:
They didn't see this while he was with them...
Now that he is not with them they started seeing things...
Thieves pursuing Thieves

What are you talking about bruv? I must allow you humiliate and slap me ten times in public today ,that you are my enemy, merely because you were my friend yesterday?

Do you know the importance attached to winning at power play in a multi-ethnic nation where the Fulanis feel Nigeria belongs to them and they are above the law?

Tinubu is not GEJ to be trampled on by the North. That El Rufai is a former ally of Tinubu does not mean Jagaban, now President of the biggest black nation on Earth and expected to wield ultimate power well, should accept El Rufai's open disrespect plus sabotaging and undermining of his Government.

El Rufai called out Tinubu before the world admitting he acted treasonably colluding with those who tapped the line of our NSA. An act of treasonable felony. That is an open challenge Tinubu dare not ignore otherwise he is finished in the yes of world as a powerless President not in charge of his nation.

Critical to remember El Rufai, a man who does not accept limits and believes he is above the law, brought this Beef to Tinubu believing he can ridicule, belittle and emasculate a Southern President as they did to Jonathan.

Any Nigerian who knows where Nigeria must go, in terms of evolving as a nation where every ethnic groups respect all others, will be behind Tinubu.

The likes of El Rufai are Fulani supremacists and hegemonists who will only be encouraged to do worse if their acts of sabotage and dishonest attempt to undermine a Southern Government is ignored.

El Rufai has been doing and saying so much that PBAT had graciously ignored yet and ultimately, because power play must be won by strong men, Tinubu must prove to El Rufai and others he is not GEJ.

Kingpele:
This is a man tinubu associated himself with during election time and even part of his delegation to Chatham house...is a huge shame in Nigeria EFCC and icpc remember that a politician is corrupt only if the person is opposing the government....though I don't pity elrufai afterall he championed this failure of government as the best thing to happen to Nigeria....if you are not clean as Peter obi or very powerful like Atiku as a politician then criticising tinubu government will attract EFCC

Because El Rufai was a former political associate of Tinubu means he must allow El Rufai to belittle and poke him in the eye when he is a President all must respect the office and authority of ?

Tinubu is not a coward like Obi or Weakling like GEJ and it is never in his permanent interest, as President, to allow El Rufai ridicule him and his Presidency merely because the former Kaduna Governor believes he is untouchable.

Odin13:
This government is a huge joke …

After announcing how he tapped your phone .. and media trial.. Una disappear come back with another lamba
Wetin efcc said the last time ?


Tinubu is truly scared of opposition.. with his 30 governors and 1 billion cities girls , including 1000 N/A

If na me ordinary citizen get this backup .. will dare oduduwa and the gods of Yoruba land to duel

Bruv go and sit down. This is a thread with no wriggle room for you to practice your worship and blind defence of all things and all indivduals Arewa.

SadiqBabaSani:
I thought this man was actually not a corrupt person sincerely, but Kai Trust any Nigerian politician at you own risk.

Ist a shame really, one, two gooooo,

Aminda will show up to defend his allegedly corrupt father

Lol. I doubt even he has the liver to show up on this occasion. The info revealed are rather specific meaning even Sowore and SaharaReporters can investigate the matter to leave ICPC red-faced if wrong.

One of the properties being investigated is a villa reportedly located at House No. 113 in Arabella Estate in the Fifth Settlement district of New Cairo.

Another villa allegedly linked to the former governor is said to be located at House No. 18 in Banafsek Estate in the First Settlement area, while another property in Oriana II Estate near the American University in Cairo is also being examined.

yarimo:
Chidi Odinkalu Anywhere bele face lawyer

Lol. Like the ones who represented Kanu.

Normal legality or strict adherence to due process Odinkalu cites is null and void over matters of serious threats to national security.

El Rufai can legally be detained for a long time as it is the right of our security leaders to do so.
