He didn't allow the bribe taking and all other dirty activities during his tenure. So they hated him.
Shame of a country.

The retired officer should have known all these and concluded all he needed to do and stay away once he retired

Irrua is in Edo Central, it has nothing to do with Edo north where Oshiomhole contested for Senate.
These politicians are just deceptive.

Yes

And he didn't beg him for the presidential? He didn't beg him for Osun where he was governor? So its lagos he then decides to "beg him" after winning the ultimate price which is the presidency? And all of a sudden, Aregbesola agrees to the begging? After refusing to be begged for the main price of presidential?
Bro, if you saw how Aregbesola jumped to shamelessly send congratulatory message to Tinubu after the elections, you will know he is the one begging to be accepted back.

awoo47:
he isn't proving loyalty...tinubu must've begged him
The reason apc lost osun was also because of rauf
Tinubu has an history of putting ppl with no political tactics in power, except that rauf is a seasoned politician...
If tinubu tried what he did to ambode with rauf, i'm sure he will cut off all his influence

So after Tinubu won, Aregbesola is now trying hard to prove loyalty. Have some dignity man, stop humiliating yourself.

Musa Yar'adua never ruled Nigeria

FREEMADNESS:
Gbaja won't b a bad idea cox he's closer to the pple.

The good thing about Tinubu is dat he knows he is brainless but employs competent hands to do the job for him.


Tinubu's government might jst b the best government after Musa yar'adua.


My fear in Tinubu's government is Shettima.
That dude might jst cause havock in the land

Yes she is. She is a full time housewife with nothing else to do than eat, sleep and laze around. It is the marriage philosophy of people from that side of the country. The man is to face the world alone and provide. And you think he won't be irritated all the time?
Ibos should change their mindset on marriage. Its disgusting

okomile:
Stupid idiot
Is your wife gatewoman

You spoke the truth bro. Humans are not designed to be with just one person, both emotionally and sexually. Humans devised this whole thing just to have order in the society.
What I tell people is marry for strategic reasons and look out for your interest cos the other person is doing exactly same.
The mutual strategic interests on both sides is either economic, biological, status, etc. For instance, if you're a struggling man, then marry a woman that can help you upgrade, she doesn't necessarily have to be a sugar mummy to be giving you money. But if she can help you get a referral for a job or support your hustle in tangible ways not empty consolation. For the woman in turn, you are helping fulfil a strategic need of fulfiling societal status as a married woman and having kids.
If the mutual fulfilment of strategic needs is not balanced, the marriage has issues because one side feels cheated. For instance if the man is rich and the woman contributes nothing, he mistreats her and doesn't value her. Ditto if the woman is prosperous and the man cannot balance that with a combination of modest prosperity and manly personality, she takes him for granted

okrikaboi:
No need for this thread allow them to marry. I have never seen a happy marriage. They may exist but are very rare. The ones we think are happy are not, go and live with them for three months and they will stop pretending in front of you!

We are not meant to spend a major of our lives with one human. Loneliness is bad but marriage is not a cure for loneliness.

I live in Sangotedo, the most populated residential area of Etiosa. Banky never came here to campaign. Atta Achief came to sangotedo market several times sharing his flyers himself. Banky dey Lekki dey think say na those people dey vote

The problem is perception. We are too quick to want to label people as "rich" and impose a burden on them to keep up. So some people in order not to lose face try to...
When I was a contract staff for a brief period with ExxonMobil, I never told anyone I was working there. The few close people that knew, tried to make me live up to the hype, but didn't mince words in telling them, there was a big difference between a full staff and myself.
So, when before covid we were laid off and covid lockdown meant no offices was hiring, I had to use my car and drive as uber. I still felt bad, but not as bad as if I had hyped myself.
And also, I'm a giver, I could give you even my last cash.. But I later learnt to start saying NO cos I just realized one day, these people will still be okay, whether you give them or not. So now, I don't go overboard with giving.

I swear!! It shows how misplaced our priorities are in this country. You would have thought that after 8years of sapa and serious shege, that when time for elections come, the masses will only use tangible issues as basis for votes, but see people that have been suffering still taking sides with politicians and fighting themselves over tribes, religion and party loyalty. Its unbelievable what type of a people Nigerians are

Judolisco:
d one dat did not even say anything at all, won d election....

Blacks and religion. Cursed continent. They have elections, instead of them to talk about actual issues like economy, security, education, health, etc, they are fighting over meaningless stuff like tribe and religion. Useless continent.

Please tell these bigots. Anyone who says something, they start bleating about tribes. As if everyone must be ibo, yoruba or hausas. Lots of people don't belong to these ethnic groups but they want to use their hate to force the rest of us into hardship

ganisucks:
He's not my brother; they are not my people; I'm not Obidient, and I don't give a rats @$# what happens to Obi.
I only pass information, nothing more.

I don't care. It has nothing to do with me

Bro tribe, religion and party loyalties are the only things Nigerians consider when it comes to elections. Even if Tinubu likes let him impose intense hardship on Nigerians, they don't mind

SmartPolician:
It's now beginning to make sense why Obi couldn't have won the election. He should just stay back in Labour Party and build the party.
For being able to achieve all this within 6 months in a party without structure, he has done an outstanding job.

He's young and should try again in 4 years. I trust Tinubu and Shettima - a terrible combination anyways - to totally finish off the country from where Buhari stopped. This will make Obi more popular.

Mynd44, Dominique, Justwise, Seun.
RULE NUMBER 2. tribal and ethnic incitements

Yamiriflathead:

Although disappointing
Tinubu tried to hold Lagos with the figures he pulled so far. Lagos is the Capital of Southern Nigeria, so what were you expecting?
This was a fight between ibos+SS+woke yorubas against Tinubu supporters in Lagos who are mainly yorubas and maybe Hausas in Lagos.

I hope Tinubu and yorubas have learnt a bitter lesson from Lagos Elections not to befriend and feed a cub because it is homeless, hopeless, and dying. It will grow up and eat u up someday.

I'm happy yorubas can now sit down and ask qtns as to how they got everything wrong and redress it with BAT as President.

The take home from this defeat is..

Yorubas need to stop drafting non yorubas into the civil service and stop giving them prominent appointments. There are always technocrats who can always fit into any political office from the SW

Yorubas need to stop selling their lands to non yorubas in Lagos and SW

Yorubas need to stop giving out local government of origins to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop allowing non-yorubas contest for Elections in Lagos or SW

Yorubas need limit the numbers of voters registration of non yorubas going on in Lagos, they care so much about Lagos and don't care if their homes rot, Henceforth let them go home and vote. They can't come and dictate to you on how to govern urselves after creating an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Contain them politically, Period!

Congratulations to the incoming President of Nigeria BAT the ASIWAJU of Lagos for winning the most Free and fair Elections since our Nascent Democracy nothwitstanding

But you want "useless things" to support you? I can see your brain is paining you.
By the way, I'm proudly from the southsouth, Edo to be precise. Na we carry Obi for head, no be the nonsense una dey try for lagos, if you mistakenly come benin come misyarn dis rubbish, na wasting straight. If dem born dat your ashewo mama well, come try am

Luckysbab:
Who will support you useless things?

Even South South won't. That's how trashy you people are.

Premium tears

ola6:
These Liberal Yorubas will be the end of Yorubas. 2 indigenous Yorubas lost Eti-Osa to one Attah. Yorubas ori yin o pe rara. Can you do this in Onitsha? Foo.lish yorubas

How about the yorubas supporting the ibos? Obasanjo 8yrs, Osinbajo 8yrs. No ibo president, not even vice? Accommodation kee you there. If Obi cannot get it, let Atiku have it. Tribal bigots

NSNA:
The Igbos could have supported the Yorubas who accommodate them but instead, they divide the south and help the North who use them as pawns.

There is enough evidence to cancel elections in areas where all these incidences occurred. Lots of video evidence in Lagos, Rivers, Edo, Bayelsa, Delta, Kogi.
Inec should reschedule elections on those areas and also stick to their promise to upload results real time.

We cannot have free and fair elections in this country. See all the intimidation going on in Rivers, Bayelsa, Edo and Lagos.

He looks 18 to me.

The race is too close to call and seems headed for a runoff between Tinubu and Atiku...
If the north tilts heavily towards either of Tinubu and Atiku, that person proceeds to the runoff and the other automatically becomes 3rd behind Obi.
If this result largely holds, but Southsouth turns up more for Obi than projected, he could leapfrog either of the other two and proceed to the run-off.

Having closely followed the permutations of various neutral reputable political pundits, I have summarised their projections thus:
1. It is NOT a 4-horse race. Rather, it is a three-way race between Tinubu, Atiku and Obi.
2. The race is being run on a level-playing ground, i.e no federal might or incumbency advantage at play.
3. Tribe, Religion and party loyalty are factors, even among urban educated voters.
4. In Nigeria, apathy isn't a lack of interest, it is simply a person recognizing his preferred (tribal, religious or party) candidate is just too bad a choice to vote for, but too biased to vote a better candidate not of his tribal/religious/party persuasion. So the person would rather abstain.
5. In the whole dynamics, there are few whose choice of candidate is not influenced by tribe, religion or party loyalty... But this number is highly insignificant.
6. Poverty, insecurity, hardship etc does little or nothing in swaying majority of Nigerians from voting along tribal, religious or party lines.
7. In terms of "strongholds", no one candidate has a definitive hold on any sizeable swathe large enough to guarantee victory: while Obi has the southeast and largely the southsouth, Tinubu has largely the southwest and a chunk of the north and Atiku, just like Tinubu, has a chunk of the north and some residual parts of the south.
8. Why the frontrunners are popular in their strongholds is largely on account of tribal, religious and party loyalties. For instance, while Atiku is banking on heavily on tribal & religious sentiments to garner votes from the core North and party loyalty to PDP to get votes down south, Tinubu is banking on party loyalty to get votes from the core north and tribal loyalties from his base in the southwest.
For Obi, tribal/religious considerations are plausible causes of support for him in the southeast & southsouth.
9. If the southeast, southsouth and a substantial part of lagos turns up for Obi as predicted, and the north splits almost evenly between Atiku and Tinubu, the election may go to a run-off.
10. For failing to penetrate the core north, Obi's only path to victory lies in the run off. His major disadvantage lies in not having the party loyalty card, which the other two can rely on in areas tribal/religious demographics don't favour them.
11. If the core north tilts heavily towards either Tinubu or Atiku, that person wins on first ballot..provided they get their anticipated southern votes...
12. If the election goes to a run-off, the third candidate that has to drop off automatically becomes the kingmaker... This may favour Atiku as both Tinubu and Obi will support him over the other.
But if Atiku is the Kingmaker, he may surprisingly support Tinubu over Obi, due to masked Igbophobia or walk the talk that he is the fastest path to an Igbo presidency

In all, the elections could spring some major surprises.

Oga shut up with this hypocrisy. As if you don't hate the entire ibos. Whether a terrorist Ekpa or an innocent hardworking Emeka you hate them all. [quote author= post=121163416]All animals and bastards supporting Terrorists in our darling nation, all fools supporting thr deaths of innocent igbos and Nigerians at large, will never witness this coming election as long as God lives.

Poor reportage: Which state is this federal constituency for fvvck sake?? Just writing "ado/okpkwu/ogbadibo" repeatedly as if everyone in the country knows every constituency.

K

I wish Obi penetrated the core muslim north a little bit more. It would have been a sure path to victory. Cos that would mean they took the PDP stronghold of southeast and southsouth and penetrated the APC stronghold of southwest and core north.
I wish Kwankwaso had agreed to be vice, it would have been a rock solid ticket.
Or Imagine if Atiku had decided not to contest but to support Obi in PDP, while Tambuwal agreed to be Obi's vice... What could stop such a ticket?
But no, the opposition divided and fragmented their votes in the worst possible way.. Atiku one side, Obi, one side, Kwankwaso, one side... This can only hand power back to the ruling party.
Its a no-brainer: to oust a ruling party, you need a united opposition., else the ruking party retains power.
Can't the opposition learn from 2015? Even Sowore was using his Sahara reporters platform to support the opposition, the other man was using premium times,... Apart from the opposition APC then, no other opposition party was visible. That is how to remove a ruling party.

Helpfromabove1:
So we the court come and distribute the materials then


Or u expect inec to buy such volume of vehicles only to be used once in four years abi

Or they should use luxurious bus or hummer bus


Inec have already explained that he is dealing with bus owners and not Mc oluomo what else do u want

For example if inec need auto part for this election he as no option than to deal with Ladipo and Alaba but in this case he need bus he will have to deal with bus owner either Igbo or Yoruba bus owners in the state

This is the most comprehensive list of urchins ever developed!
