theoldpretender:
People like Ibori, Nnamani, etc would disagree with you.

See Abia state. Obvious that the sitting governor has failed, Alex Otti was there as a viable alternative...and yet people voted for PDP again.(thanks to kerosene endorsement).

Then you should read Reuben Abati's expereince working for the campaign of a South West governorship candidate...and how people were 'asking for money'

There are governors like Gandollars all over the country. Gandollars mistake was that he got caught.

How do I know you are not a smuggler or a political thug?
I don't know and it will be stupid of me to assume you are.

No person ever get convicted without being caught.
Ibori was already out of the government house when he was "caught" and jailed in the UK.

I repeat again, that no southern governor can remain popular if they get caught like Ganduje.
All politician's spend money on elections and Abati is quite a fool to feign surprise when he
also received millions as campaign money during the 2015 elections.

But people in the south will likely vote for a politician who spends money and might be a thief than a Gandollar
who spends money but is certainly a thief.

Just because there are free criminals does not give the arrested ones immunity from consequences.

Fake news.

Don't believe this story yet until it is presented in court.
Expect more media lies as the tide turn against the government persecution in the court.

helinues:
We voted against our own son in 1999, so if we voted against someone from south ( even though we voted for him in 2015), is that the definitions of a traitor?

We only got it wrong in 1999 and after that, we have been aligned with whoever becomes the president .

2023 let each southern region supports whoever they like. SW is rooting for presidency, only electorates could stop the dream.

Southern unity, we don't want

Another ipob fool on the prowl.
If you are indeed from SW, you should state clearly that your dumb opinion belongs to you alone.
SMH

Buhari the bloodsucker has done it again.

olujastro:
It should be easy to understand voting patterns across the country but it seems intelligence is a rare commodity, especially on Nairaland.

Firstly, no northerner alive can defeat Buhari in the north. That has always been a known fact (one not obvious to PDP because it's full of dumb people).

Secondly, majority of Nigerians are politically informed so they vote for the candidates, and not the party (except the politically blind people who prefer to reelect a failed PDP governor because APC is a "satanic" party to them).

In summary, the people of Sokoto, Kano, Bauchi, etc. chose Integrity over Kleptocracy in the presidential election; and voted differently according to the credibility and performance of their various state governors.
Shikena

Keep telling yourself lies to feel good.
The people chose integrity, yet the elections ended inconclusively because half the population in those states
don't want "integrity".

This election has shown that the north doesn't care about integrity.
Ganduje would have been massacred in the election if he was from any
state in the South.

bettercreature:
He is right i was very surprised how the north was able to VOTE for candidate of their choice this time around.It used to be one way in the past

You are daydreaming.
The result from the north is clear.

Some of us saw the media report as a charade in the beginning
but zombies won't hear it.
They desperately need to convince people that Buhari is fighting
corruption.

The first time I will agree with the bling king.
APC is the sickness.

StarUp:
The story is not adding up... Someone is lying...but who cares? Arraigning Myles Munroe before the court will not undo the f.uck.

Neither will it give you a brain.
Animal in human skin.

This animal will have been roaming twitter and Nairaland begging for money.
Yet, he chose to betray parents who gave him a chance to earn a living.

Danladi is power drunk.
He will soon be dumped after living out his usefulness.

Gmajor:
Institutional racism used to exist in America, but that was in the past.

When did this happen?

How long will you keep dwelling in the past.

As long as there are elements of injustice in the society, there is no such thing as "past".

A lot of Black people have trained themselves to See racism everywhere and in everything.

That is not really a bad thing.

Trump is a racist! Trump is a racist, but yet, there has been a very drastic increase in job creation among black communities.
Stop the hate Bro.

This isn't about Trump.
I understand your perspective, some Africans will willingly become a slave
in exchange for a Murika visa.
What they don't realise is that their decision and loyalty was informed by poverty.

Ttipsy:
exactly my thoughts, a law should be made on that
,
wear your traditional whatever nonsense to your village party, church, meetings, and not on an Official duty

BigBashiru:
Public service is serious business.

Politicians should go to their offices dressed like bankers or office workers not in traditional clothes that make them look unserious.

Ndonu101:
sometimes I wonder if this is part of why we have the laziest and dumbest amongst us in office

na only us get culture?

if its all about culture I know how Scotish, Kenyan, South African or Chinese Politicians would dress

probably why all of the above countries are more serious than us

Would you mind listing your achievements since you started putting on suits?
It is not your fault, it is hard fighting low self-esteem.

hmm

The OP is a paid Amaechi agent.

The main issue is that this school is collecting fees.

Too late.

This dumbass just cost his sister her job.

KGD10:
It's really unfortunate for him. I wished he had teamed up with Tinubu and make hay while the sun shine but I think he didn't expect Tinubu's party to take over the federation then. His foolishness cost Ondo state dangote's Refinery because he had teamed up with Jonathan rather than Tinubu but today, he's irrelevant in PDP. With all his good works and infrastructure in Ondo state, if he had capped it with dangote's Refinery, his name would have been set on pedal stone. What a shame.

Dangote moved his refinery from Ondo because of the threat of militancy and local tax by traditional ruler and thugs.
It has nothing to do with party.

OGHENAOGIE:
el rufai can't get votes in d south

How did Buhari get votes in the south?
I am not sure you are familiar with how local politics are played in Nigeria.
Boasts and threats on social media don't translate into votes. The majority of real voters
don't think the way you do.

Buhari even got more than 40% in Benue despite the continuos herdsmen attacks.

MetaPhysical:
When crime is commited against the country, the President has right to intervene as necessary and protect law and values.

The President has right to order arrest if he believes not doing so is dangerous for security and value system.

Any constitutional provision to back up your point?
What the president believes is immaterial.

The CJN is not some terrorist threatening to nuke Nigeria and the constitution does not
allow Buhari or the CCT chairman to unilaterally remove him.

Even in the wake of 9/11 attacks in the US, the patriot act had to be enacted to give the executive the power
to take extra-constitutional actions against perceive enemies.

Im not sure you guys truly appreciate the power in a President's hand. You have been coded by foreign media to view your president from an angle of human rights. If your president tells you he will shut down internet gateway into the country, a prerogative granted to him by constitution, you call it human rights violation.

You all have no clue. Study your constitution from cover to cover and understand the powers spelt out in it. Imagine also the powers that are not spelt out but which the president can utilize simply because it is not a forbidden act by the constitution.

I should start a political class on this forum and coach the hidden powers of statutes.

You have been conditioned to think of presidents as emperors who can do whatever they want.
The function of the legislatures and judiciaries is to checkmate executive powers.
Did you miss this aspect of the political class?

If the country laws allow Buhari to do whatever he wants, then there is no point paying
senators and judges for doing nothing.

You talk about foreign media as if our system of government was a result of designs and debates
by Nigerians. Every aspect of our current government is copied from the "foreigners" you probably
think are clueless.

If Buhari wants dictatorial powers, let him go to the Senate and ask for it.

It doesn't matter if the constitution doesn't forbid an action, the judiciary can rule against
such action or the lawmakers legislate against it.

I notice that you are conflating constitutional violations with human rights when they are not the
same. Of course, a constitutional violation can be a human right issue but not all human right issue
is a constitutional violation.

You probably think that Buhari's violation of the constitution is a sign that he has unlimited power.

Fake news.

Change "relevant" to "influential" because it is out of place here.

OBJ's influence will remain until he dies.

No, he would sell lower since he won't pay shipping costs.
If he sells hire, then nobody will buy.

INEC is just being politically correct.
The Nigerian Army was used to snatch ballot and thumbprint in Rivers state.
Anyway, Wike will come out on top.

Sanwo Olu runs a cartel, Sowore better be careful.

Publicity stunt.
Adelabu prefers indomie to Amala.

Fake news.
The body is different from the headline.

betterbest:
IShe was just yelling at me and asked me to move out if I can't cope, she said she'll never allow separate wire in her compound.
Meanwhile, in that house, you must not receive visitors, you must not put on face cap and you dare not talk to your fellow neighbors, she always suspects everybody, people in that community always wonder how we're able to stay in that compound.

Look at the bold and tell us why you did this

I renewed my rent November last year.

Unless the house is the only one in town and you are not paying rent, it makes absolutely no sense to renew your rent.
Perhaps, there is something you are not telling us.

Listen very carefully, contact a rental agent this night, yes this night and tell him you need a house immediately.
Leave the house until you find another.
Don't wait to finish your rent because you may regret it.

OGHENAOGIE:
oga Buhari is off 2023.. so dat 12mill votes is up for grasp...el rufai I don't think is popular outside kaduna I might be wrong though...el rufai is a bad product for apc candidate for president

El rufai is a bigot just like Buhari.
He may be a bad candidate according to you but it is votes that determines election winners
not talks.

Quality20:
will SS and SE allow we d SW to control PDP? no they trust only themselves . In that case we are going to APC, SDP or any party that don't c us as traitors.

Boy, speak for yourself and your family.
