siaco:
If we continue waiting, we will wait forever.
Now is the time it's either mandatory real time transmission of results or no elections.

We cannot leave the future of over 200 million Nigerians in the hand of few individuals who has decided to take as fools. Enough is enough, Nigerians must get it right now or never.

Let's pass the right electoral bill and whoever that wins will be generally accepted.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done once it's passed. Majority carries the vote. It's one of the disadvantages of democracy

Majority carries the vote and that's the beauty of democracy. So I see nothing wrong. I often do advocate voting the right people into the parliament. I also pray we find a way to make the local government much more vibrant, by so doing governance will be close to the people and we will be able to checkmate those in power.

For a transparent election, electronic transmission is the best, but the majority currently have it in the legislature and we can do nothing for now. Let's respect their decision and wait till we have the right majority in the parliament

Just to add that, Jimi Disu detests Tinubu. He hates his presidency. But the truth needed to be said. Elrufai went too far

He'd rot in jail in the West or a country like Russia if he boldly and openly made allegations of bugging the NSA phone. Imagine such effrontery!. Opposition should be done with some level of responsibility. Elrufai went too far

InvestSmart:
We don't have the simple background to what happened... What exactly are they settling scores over. The mama Onabanjo that was buried deserves respect better than all these dragging even in her grave. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

The current governor wants to get the APC senatorial ticket to go to the senate when his tenure ends. The sitting senator, Gbenga daniel who was also a former Governor is not ready to leave the senate.
But i have no knowledge of what happened in the church

No back story,nothing. You just dumped an article on us. Ogun state and Ogun east senatorial elections go hot sha. Let's wait and see

StoryHaven:
You are right. That is why the nation should just be splited and be governed separately.

The problem is the fear of "What would the northerners say?" Because they term every government action as against the north.

The only thing that can bring peace is to get separated.

Balkanization of the country wouldn't solve all our problems. Every country in the world is an artificial creation. I understand you sir and I agree that the north continue to drag us backwards, but we need strong institutions.

I did a whole research on this topic, it was in fact my undergraduate thesis and I've partially worked on this in my second degree and other researches. There's more to us than breaking up.

SmartPolician:
This is something Tinubu can never do! That's why some of us have repeatedly maintained that APC doesn't have what it takes to fight terrorism because they played a significant role in this insecurity we deal with today.

Why didn't Jonathan and Buhari do it. These guys have been funding terrorism before Tinubu. Why blame Tinubu ?

Procashtips:
And it's been 2 months, no passport, same Nigeria without bribing too.

Go to their servicom and complain sir. My brother collected his just last week without delay.
It's not all bad

anonimi:
Did he just become a bigot or he was already a bigot when he was helping clueless Tinubu answer questions in Chatham House

And he has been the one answering questions for Tinubu since 2023 abi?

You people are yet to recover from the 2023 election loss. I wonder how you people will cope if Tinubu wins again in 2027

AMINDA:
You cannot benefit from a man you claim to be evil only to betray him and then claim you outsmarted him. That only makes you an accomplice. Elrufai made Tinubu president and he will unmake him.

Many people worked together to make Tinubu president. How did he make Tinubu president, do you even know what you are saying . I've noticed you with many y ignorant and imaginations of the mumudients... Are you aware that Tinubu even lost Kaduna in the election

I'm surprised he got support from certain people because of their hatred for BAT. Elrufai is a wicked fellow and pained that he was outsmarted in the political decisions of the present government. A bigot and can't take a pinch of what he has done to people

Hi

Procashtips:
They love to deceive those outside the country.

Have you taken time to check the stories of those in Nigeria on how passport renewal takes months?

They know they can be sued overthere, so they try everything possible not to be in such situation.

But in Nigeria? If you're not ready to grease palms, just go and wait for 3-9 months or more.

I got my passport within a week without bribing anyone sir. Did all the process myself. God is my witness.
Let's celebrate the few wins and criticize the wrong

Kwankwanso has been weakened. He won't easily forget 2026. Lost his home state to opposition, possible designation as a terrorist will weaken his chances of becoming a president or vice president. Hmmmm, his greed gradually catching up with him. He refused to deputize obi; and then go on to demand too much from the APC and ADC before he decamps. I wonder what his next moves will be

GeneralOuki:
Which kind cut and join history is this bayi? It was not the North that chose Yoruba in 1999, it was Alex Ekwueme. Ekwueme was handed the PDP presidential ticket but he rejected it and instead handpicked OBJ to be the party flag bearer in order to pacify the Yoruba after the June 12 wahala.
Obj became party flag bearer because Alex Ekwueme, an Igbo man, chose him over his own ambitions.

https://www.nairaland.com/5925313/pdp-presidential-primaries-history-facts

Haa.. I deliberately gave you a nairaland link so that you can see the primaries result of the pdp in 1999 yourself . The plan was to pacify the Yorubas, Alex was just jumping (That's one of the men that inspire me in life though. I admire and a huge fan of his lifestyle. May Ekwueme soul continue to rest in peace)

So, get your facts right

Branco6:
If una accept the truth e no go do una anything na
This living in lies and delusions is doing your lot a lot of harm
Smh

You are not accepting my own truth either na. Does it mean you are living in delusion too?
I'm a neutral political analyst for your info.
I maintain my stance. Hold on to yours too. I respect your opinion, if you don't respect mine it's fine. Shalom

franchasofficia:
No, you are wrong.


The North already know that they have a major problem in the South coming from the Southeast, so having another major tribe from the South angry will definitely spell doom for Nigeria.



It is the Yorubas that have held Nigeria from breaking up because they are the people always partnering with the North to force Igbos to remain in Nigeria, so it's common sense to pacify your partner in crime to avoid bigger problem.


So it has nothing to do with Yorubas fighting for Abiola, it has more to do with Northerners applying wisdom to save Nigeria from total disintegration when Igbos and Yorubas together want to leave Nigeria, of course Northerners cannot stop it but when Igbo alone wants to leave, it's easier to stop them through majority partnership of North and Southwest.


Same way, it's easier to stop Yorubas from ever leaving Nigeria if North and Southeast partner together.


That's why for many years, North always worked with Southeast to keep Southwest in opposition until 2015 that Tinubu led Yorubas to partner with North against Southeast that wanted Jonathan to remain, and that disrupted the North-Southeast political partnership and led to the emergence of a first ever pan-Yoruba President Tinubu now destroying every fabric of Nigeria.

I don't agree with you but I respect your opinion. I don't remember any issue rearing it head from the south east as of 1999. Massob came with obasanjo presidency.
But will the south east and the south west ever unite in this political game?
In your second paragraph, you just mentioned one point most South Easterners don't agree with , the fact that they need to work with other regions if they want the disintegration.
The north remain politically savvy, the south west is trying but can never be politically united. But the south east ehn.. Make i leave am there

Ewedegubbler:
This guy Dey craze.

Is it the same Igbos that have locked their businesses for 4 years in protest against the injustice on Kanu?

Can he tell us what Yorubas have done in loyalty to any of their own? Their leaders betrayed Abiola and sold him out to Abacha and yet I’ve not heard anyone calling them out for that.

His brother who is a pdp leader has sold himself cheap to Tinubu and betrayed his own party. The charity should begin in fayoses home ..

Let me respond to the second paragraph only and I will do that with a question.

Why do you think the North decided that a Yoruba man must be president in 1999?
Two of the major parties then had Yoruba men as presidential candidates.. The north knew the country will be hot if they don't pacify the Yorubas following the death of Abiola..
What you people call cowardice by the Yorubas is diplomatic warfare. Whereas your constant chant of wars from the pre-civil war till date is seen as barking dogs.
Note that I'm not in support of Peter Fayose, that's his opinion but you don't have to come for his whole tribe

Bluntemperor:
Indeed,we are too funny 🤣 in Nigeria.
Ask this Waziri- what was his Legacy - Since he was a FORMER' Police 🚓 Boss?
Is this not Yobr,WHERE MALAMI WANTS TO BECOME A GOVERNORSHIP- CANDIDATE?
•Is Malami A Saint - With Nigerian Money - running into Billions in his Accounts,the Wife and Son's Accounts ?
+Now with Gun- running in his House as A Former' Attorney General of Federation?
We are indeed in a Big Mess with Corruption!

Malami is from Kebbi not Yobe

Omo... Things dey occur ooo.
We blame our leaders, whereas as humans we are callously inhumane.
Mob killing is never going to be justified irrespective of the wrong acts. We need to work on our minds as a people.
The leaders we have is a reflection of the followers.

Great singer. Rest in power

MrMcJay:
Why do you think APC fielded a weak candidate in Osun?

If Oyetola comes out today to contest, do you think Adeleke can defeat Oyetola?

Tinubu doesn't have a problem with Adeleke. In fact, Dr. Deji is Tinubu's ally right from Lagos.
Have you forgotten that Tinubu was Serubawon's ally?

The candidate fielded by Apc isn't a weak one o. Apc has a solid structure already. Oyetola isn't liked by Apc majority and old age is also telling on him already. Deji and his younger brother fumbled so no alignment again.. Adeleke is a goner

Tenses:
Africa democracy was waxing strong until tinubu came the Ecowas chairperson. Coup just dey spring like onions. He even survived one by the whiskers.

tinubu is anti-democracy.

Burkina Faso and Mali coup were before Tinubu. Only Niger came during his administration.
Let's assume all the coups occurred when Tinubu became president, how is it his fault that democracy failed in those countries?
We may not like the president, but let's argue constructively

MrMcJay:
Bala Mohammed of Bauchi,
The same Bala who followed Tinubu on Hajj?

Seyi Makinde of Oyo
Same person who collected money from the FG and didn't declare?

Dauda Lawal of Zamfara
Ever seen this one say anything against Tinubu or the FG?
His own beef is with Mattawale and the other one.

Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa
Atiku didn't want him to come back, he was in fact one of the silent Governors under Wike back then. This one is a Tinubu mercenary. His job is to bury Atiku locally.

Alex Otti of Abia
Otti that informed Tinubu of his movement to LP when OUK didn't allow him rest in Abia APC. Tinubu asked him to get an alternative platform.

Ademola Adeleke of Osun
Tinubu has an honorary PhD from the Adeleke University in Ede. The current arrangement is for Oyetola not to contest and for APC to field a weak candidate in Osun so Adeleke can win.

Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra.
Just like Fintiri, this one has just 1 job description. Bury Obi locally.
He's 100% loyal to Tinubu.

You are right on others but wrong on Osun. He wants Adeleke out. Adeleke ensured Tinubu lost osun and it's pay back time. He went to beg, but the apc guys in osun rejected him. I can't wait for the osun election in June

WriterNig:
Americans are obsessed with Russia. Even in their movies.

Every time Russia, Russia, Russia! Putin, Putin, Putin!

Meanwhile the Russians hardly think about them or even talk about them.

Russia is more concerned about Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine & Western Europe than America.

Using Russia in their movies is deliberately done to paint the Russians as the bad boys of the world. So that's deliberate

We too dey born for this country. The population explosion has it good and bad sides. Note that, part of what we generate is given to Togo, Benin republic and Niger. It is well with us

AMINDA:
What does it matter? This changes nothing in the grand scheme of things. Can Makinde do more than he did for Tinubu as member of G5 in 2023? Tinubu invited him to probably apologise and induce him to jettison his presidential ambition. He will keep doing that because we already told you that the only way he can return elected, is to be the only candidate on the ballot. Tinubu is afraid and it clearly shows. We know the whole drama between Wike and Makinde was scripted and was a strategy to destroy the PDP, but it has backfired because the main opposition figures have aligned. Tinubu will now sacrifice the political ambitions of Penkelemesi and Teslim in favour of Makinde's candidate. He only cares about his own ambition.

With this your reasoning, you are obviously a kiddo in political analysis... You know nothing

Hi

mascot87:
You are a very funny 🤡
Tinubu afraid of who?
Tinubu invited him to beg who?
They need to ban children from access to Internet because who be this 🤡

I laughed out loud when I read Tinubu wanted to beg Makinde. Who the heck is Makinde!
. These guys are kids with data and no knowledge of politics

One South Western boy missed penalty in the last match (Third place). Why everywhere quiet?

Stop being petty, plain st*p*d and tribalistic . I'm Yoruba and I defended Chuckwueze with all my strength after that penalty miss. Some persons can't even face 5 people for presentation but are criticizing the innocent boy.
This was after the Algeria match though. He jokes a lot

I've got nothing to say. Make them sha no over tax my daily 2k
First FTC of 2026

Coming from someone who rigged election to become senator and was removed by the tribunal.. You are not a saint sir
