This is not backed up by any evidence just imagination

You are entitled to believe whatever you want to believe
That is your right but don't try to pretend you know anything more than ordinary Nigerians
ElRufai did not make Tinubu president
I believe he was hoping to be president and be annointed . When that did not happen he made calculations about his own future
He realised without Buhari’s support no one could counter Tinubu

This is the same man that had been talking of removing godfathers I. LAagos only few months previously

If you are going to make such a list
Number one on that list should be Tinubu himself

Tinubu won the election by meeting requirements even though he did not get 50% of total votes

We all saw the election vote tally on TV. Dino Melaye was there foreign observers were there

That story of wee hours is silly

Mahmood had no input
If you want to claim manipulation it did not happen in Abuja

Was there one single caee of a state where results were not declared in that state or that party agents in the state did not have results before they reached Abuja where they came outto tell Nigerians Mahmood announced something different from what they were holding

Well said bro! That guy is a political novice who is still obviously nursing the pains of his favourite losing the election.

Even though I am not a fan of Tinubu, if he had relied on Yakubu to announce something different from what each state REC announced, he would have failed totally irrespective of the amount of billions at his disposal..

For any electoral manipulation to be effective, it must start from the ward level which involves heavy votes buying most times...

In fact, the more obscure the rural area is, the better the chances of manipulation..

Yakubu's job is just to collate and announce all the results from each state as certified by the REC and not to verify their authenticity.

This is why I always laugh at anyone who believes Obi could have won the elections with his very poor showing in the core Muslim North. This is a candidate who cannot even boast of a single party agent in those places.

Those are the kinds of places that all the party agents would even collaborate to throw their own candidates under the bus and look the other way if the money from the main contenders are right.

Too many delusional kids on the internet.

Stephen0mozzy:
Guy keep quiet. The idea is to foster activity on the programming section and competitions are not always about the money.

Same 250k is 10times better than what most of your schools give as gift to their best graduating students.

By the way, the terms are quite simple, use AI he said.

This poor man arrogance that most of you have.

It is the guy's entitlement mentality for me. No real achiever who has made something significant out of their life would talk down on the little efforts and contributions of others in that manner.

Real achievers would have 10x the prize money to show you how they can do better instead of talking trash on an empty stomach.

The internet is really a leveller!

OKOATA:
If they call you obedient call them ronu.

Bro... For your information, ronu is a word in Yoruba which means "think." I will never get it in a thousand years how the word "think" could mean anything derogatory or insulting.

Personally, I have come to associate the words "Batists" or "Obidients" as one of the greatest insult in the world as they are they different sides of the same pawn coin in the game.. So no thanks for the advice!

OKOATA:
Where did you see him mention Obi, and who told you he wouldn't have done things differently, all of you just assume everyone is weak , if you are the president of Nigeria today will you fold your arms and be looking?

It was a disclaimer to that Tinubu supporter before he tags me an obidient even though I dislike Tinubu, Obi and Atiku with a passion. To them, once you do not support Tinubu, you must be one of the headless mob.

madridguy:
The satanic players should get a new script. Kidnapping innocent students will not bring them into the Aso Rock.

I am not a fan of Peter Obi. In fact, I believe there is nothing he could have done any differently in changing the fortune of a failed country like Nigeria. He could even end up worse than useless Buhari and Tinubu put together.

Yes.. This is a script borrowed from the GEJ era. But Tinubu would be the biggest fool in the world if he feels this self-sabotaging script won't work on him especially when someone like Trump is now interested in the power play.

His political opponents especially from the North know they can't match him in the political arena.. It is a case of using whatever tool you have at your disposal to bring down your stronger opponent even if it means wiping out as many Nigerians as they can.

Trust me, if Tinubu fails to act decisively which I believe is even beyond his means at the moment no thanks to the fact that the military hierarchy has been deeply compromised, the numbers of casualty will get to a point that would make the whole country turn against him.

If he tries any rubbish to clamp down on the mass nationwide protests that would erupt, Trump or the military might have to step in.

This is the long term game plan. You guys can keep living in denial until the bandits and their sponsors up their game to take it to your doorstep.

Person wey write book titled “How To Make It Big.” is yet to make it as Big as the person (Dangote) wey never write any book

I have come across so many foolish comments on the internet in the year 2025 but this right here takes the crown.. WTF!!!

Imagine the only way to troll a billionaire in dollars whose only crime is documenting his journey for the benefit of future generations is by comparing him to a richer billionaire in dollars...

Many are really mad on this internet but few are roaming!

SpaceX:
As usual naptu2 blocked the post, I can't see nothing just folded comments

I guess Naptu2 blocked you and not the post.. I think when it comes to engaging others with every atom of civility and mutual respect even though we do not align with their viewpoints, I think we need to learn to do better in this part of the world.

Sometimes when I compare the quality of interaction of members on forums like Reddit or Quora to that of Nairaland, it is saddening to see the huge disparity in the level of civility and social decorum.

I am pretty sure that if you are not bothered by being excluded from seeing his posts, you won't have sounded worried about it.

Please let's learn to do better.

KingDashx:
Yoruba United States..
What does that even mean?!

It means it is the only Yoruba state that was founded collectively by Yorubas from other states..

This is why Lagos have places like Abule Egba(colony of the Egbas) or Abule Ijesa(colony of the Ijesas).. It means the ancestors of these indigenous Lagosians migrated from places like Ogun and Osun State to create these towns from scratch when they were still deep forests with zero inhabitants... It is the same creation pattern for other places like Ikorodu, Epe, Ikate etc

That is how the first set of indigenous people everywhere in the world created every single geographical settlement existing in the world as long as they do not meet inhabitants there.

There is no place in the world where all the first set of indigenous inhabitants descended from heaven.. They all migrated from somewhere else in the ancient time.

What actually conferred the indigene status on them is the efforts of their ancestors in developing the place from scratch when it was still a thick forest before being joined gradually by other inhabitants..

ChizzyBuna:
People asking God for worldly things

Instead of asking God for the gift of wisdom. Prosperity and productivity.
They are demanding laptop. Iphone 14 , car keys, latest new wigs.

Pastors are very very smart. They milk the guillabilty of the masses and turn into massive profits.

They monetize their YouTube and start challenge and millions view it
While the pastors cash out in millions of traffic and views on their video.

They made desperate evening newspapers and tell them to dress like brides

Over 700k desperate Nigerian women alone will generate you cool YouTube money


Respect pastors. The are very smart hustlers

You have a point brother.. Even though I was born into a Christian home to a pastor dad and a very religious mother, I renounced Christianity a long time ago..

I have come to discover that real spirituality is deeper than what the oyinbos brought to Africa and I do not need to subscribe to their narrow worldview of what God represents to them before I can have a personal relationship with my creator or the universe.

That said, don't be surprised that the hallelujah challenge has worked and will continue to work for some while others would only be reading about the testimony of others while their own lives remain the same.

Why the disparity in results?

The reason is not far-fetched. It is not the Hallelujah challenge performing the so-called wonders and miracles.. If it was that effective, everyone would receive their miracles.. The real wonder is the faith of the recipient.. When it becomes strong enough to activate their subconscious mind to accept the idea they are selling to it, wonders begin to happen.

It is the same reason people are giving testimonies in a church, mosque or shrine irrespective of their religious beliefs..

So the programme is not really a scam per se because without the presence of such a platform, a lot of people are too weak spiritually to configure their minds on their own and convince their subconscious mind to accept the version of themselves they are trying to sell to it..

However, I agree with your point.. The day the average human realizes how powerful they are is the day these religious merchants would stop cashing out.

franchasofficia:
If Bola Tinubu can stand on a campaign podium in Enugu and tell Igbos that he does not need Southeast votes but that if Igbos wants to share in the pot of the national soup that they should better work for him politically to get something or else nothing for them. In a democratic dispensation.


If Buhari the President of Nigeria can go on an international visit before the whole world and call Southeast/Igbos 5% that doesn't deserve equal government attention with the rest of Nigerians and also called Southeast a dot in a circle without shame or remorse, then there is nothing bad in Charlie Boy a retired entertainer entertaining you Nigerians with what he wrote or quoted on x!


Two can play the game, bring it on, no lele

You still do not get it.. No one is begrudging Charlie Boy his right to express his right of ethnic bigotry in public. But for a 75 yr-old man to hide shamelessly behind a fake Danjuma quote instead of embracing his ethnic prejudice bias and leanings with his full chest in a post ironically talking about courage should be the greatest act of cowardice ever seen.

Anyway, it aligns with the behavioural pattern of a full-grown man who would hide under the skirt of his wife every Monday because of the fear of the directive of his fellow man from faraway Finland..

DomPerignon:
Bullshit.

I am sure they were arrested over arms diversion or deliberately refusing to follow orders in the ongoing war on terrorists and bandits and providing cover or refusing to mobilize

No officer is daft enough to stage a coup in present day Nigeria as that will surely see to the country balkanizing.

You are right brother.. The fastest way to divide Nigeria is for some daft officers to stage a coup.. No matter how noble their intentions might be, the region that was sacked would feel shortchanged and start clamouring for a break of the country.

Also the region that takes over would be accused of trying to seize power through the back door..

Hausa/Fulani political elites would rather prefer Tinubu goes for a 3rd term to an Igbo army officer seizing power.

Head or tail, Nigeria wasn't meant to be a single country because development can never happen in any atmosphere of severe disunity.

Tayorshd87:
So all d agbo our forefathers are using in those days made dem live longer than 109 years by spoiling their kidneys abi 🤔

See the ignorant dude recommending viagra which has sent more men to their early graves than Boko Haram because it is produced by oyinbo and demonising the local herbs used by his ancestors that made most of them still extremely virile at age 90 while navigating multiple wives without complaint from any.

Africa will never be great until we stop this deep Inferiority complex of worshipping anything foreign and begin to look inward for the multiple challenges plaguing our land.

SmartPolician:
Women dey try, but forget women football because it's just uninteresting, uninspiring and less entertaining.

Football is a game that requires creativity, stamina (plenty of it) and foresight. I hail people who sit for 90 minutes watching women's football because those qualities aren't there.

These are some of the reasons why companies sponsor men's games and people are willing to watch men's games more than women's.

Speak for yourself brother.. The last time I watched the Super Eagles play for a whole 90 minutes without walking away was Korea/Japan 2002..Since the retirement of legends like Kanu,Oliseh, Jay Jay and Co., I found the Super Eagles matches to be everything and more you have used to describe the Women's game.

Whereas I have rarely missed any single match of the Super Falcons since the first AWCON in Abeokuta in 1998.... I find their games highly entertaining.

naptu2:
A lot of people made that complaint. They are asking whether CAF is discriminating against goalkeepers.

I think football bodies have stopped nominating goalkeepers for the footballer of the year award since they created a separate goalkeeper's category for them.. I stand to be corrected though.

Openyamind111:
Bisola has been the most influential among them all..

Instead of making baseless comparisons between both ladies who have done well for themselves, you should be striving to rise to the top of your field too so you can be celebrated like this someday..

The irony of the situation is that anyone on a mission to conquer their own field would never have time for all this silly Messi vs Ronaldo or Wiz kid vs Davido debate nonsense..

They would have gotten the understanding that every star is unique in their own way and focus more on learning more from each celebrity's strengths and avoiding their weaknesses instead of Indulging in a baseless comparison exercise which is usually the pastime of lowlifes in every society.

Dagrace01:
I served in Jege village, Yagba east LGA and i can boldly say they're Yoruba people, Okun people.
He's indeed ignorant and not ready to learn

On the contrary, trust me, he is not ignorant. He knows what he is doing. He is actually a jobless troll trying to irk the Yorubas.. The more people give him the attention he is looking for, the more he keeps trolling the Yorubas.

Dagrace01:
Yagba east, yagba west and Kabba are yoruba speaking people. If you don't know something, try to learn

Please ignore the guy.. He is simply employing dumb sarcasm to troll the Yorubas because I don't believe someone can be that ignorant after so many people have corrected him.

In these days of information overload on the internet and AI everywhere where you can get such information in the twinkle of an eye, I repeat, no one can be that ignorant except a jobless troll revelling in the unpaid engagements and cheap attention.

This is an advice coming from a full blooded Yoruba man whose dad is from Oke-Offin in Kabba Bunu LGA and whose mum hails from Aiyetoro Gbede in Ijumu LGA which are both situated in Kogi West..

Omoawoke:
Those are not Yorubas and they don’t speak Yoruba

In fact, Yorubas are minority in kogi state… that’s why they never see governorship before for that state.
Kogi state is dominated by Igala and Ebira

The Okuns are the 2nd most populated tribe after the Igallas in Kogi.. The Ebiras come a distant 3rd..The reason the Ebiras got the power was because of the death of Audu.. It was similar to how the Ijaws got to presidency before the Igbos.. Does that make the Ijaws bigger than the Igbos?

And after the Ebiras got to power through Yahaya Bello, he simply used the power of incumbency to give it to another Ebira man despite not having the numbers..

Before the Ebiras got lucky, they and the Okuns have always been marginalised by the Igallas who have the numbers..

That's how the power dynamics in Kogi State worked.

ariesbull:
many Kabba folks don't see themselves as Yoruba

This man you nor go rest.. Why don't you let our Okun folks speak for themselves? Let an Okun man with evidence come on this thread to come and tell us their ethnicity then if they are not Yoruba instead of spewing ignorance all over every thread that has to do with Okun people..

Imagine comparing Rotimi Amaechi to a full blooded Yoruba man like Dino Melaye because of their hatred for the Omoluabis..

So many low IQ people on Nairaland these days!

ariesbull:
I don't know where your ancestors migrated but what I know is that I have seen many Okun that say they aren't YORUBA... This is my personal experience here In Lagos ..I ma not saying it's all! I said I have seen some OKUN

Those ones you have met must be very ignorant of their lineage or suffering from the lowest of IQ because how can they be speaking the Yoruba language, bearing Yoruba names and also share every similar Yoruba culture and norms like every other sub-Yoruba ethnic nationality like the Ijebus, Egbas, Ijesas, Ekitis, Akokos etc and still be denying their Yoruba ethnic nationality?

Anyway, I am yet to meet one and I pray to meet one someday but the person must first of all change their Yoruba name to another ethnic group and maybe their denial of their Yoruba origin might begin to make sense then..

ariesbull:
We don't have YORUBA in Kogi and Kwara

Those people are not yoruba many of them aren't and don't like to be called yoruba ..example are the Okun and Kabba people

Many of them don't like being called yoruba and the article pointed it out ! But it's being smart by half

I am an Okun man whose ancestors migrated from ancient Ile-Ife to Okun land in the present day Kogi West. What you have just stated is a very big lie because I am a full-blooded Yoruba man...

The spread of the Yoruba ethnic group indigenous natives transcend even the shores of Nigeria and can even be found in places like the Benin Republic, Togo and The Gambia. It is the same scenario for indigenous Hausas in other African countries who are not even Nigerians.

Anyone who thinks he is doing this as a form of hustle to put food on his table needs their head examined.

Do you even know how much his lifetime pension as an ex-president is worth?

Every old people either rich or poor has one form of hobby or the other they indulge in as a pastime to escape the intense boredom that comes with such a stage. Some tend to their gardens, some play games all day and so on and so forth. Mbeki's own is simply photography..

The daftest form of thinking is to associate a simple hobby with earning a means of livelihood from it as wealthy as he is..

Emeskhalifa:
Lately I noticed I am having this, I eat a lot of rice, like a lot of it. The protruding belly is beginning to make me feel sad. Wettin man fit eat to reduce am?

Note, I don't drink or smoke

If you are really interested in eating healthy, you might want to follow this popular nutritionist page on Facebook [Doctor of the future] https://www.facebook.com/doctorfthefuture for free tips about healthy eating.

And you can also go ahead and get his meal plan too on how best to combine meals in a healthy manner and the best time to eat or avoid them if it is something you are really interested in.

If you are sure of your integrity especially when your accusers do not have all the facts and evidences to back up their claim, slamming them serious lawsuits is the best way to go..

This is one of the reasons I don't rate politicians like Peter Obi who couldn't teach folks like Premium Times and Deji Adeyanju a lesson of their lives despite being the ones even daring him to take them to court if his hands are clean..

It goes to show he is not different from the average hypocritical Nigerian politician.

Love or hate Otedola, dude is beginning to set the precedence of sending fears into the hearts of potential defamers or blackmailers in the future with these bold moves..

You will definitely think twice before picking him as a target unless you have all the arsenals in your possession to nail him to the wall.

internationalman:
This sounds ridiculous.. From the way you sound you are a Ronaldo fan, now ask yourself and your fellow millions Ronaldo fans if they would ever vote for Messi even if Messi comprehensively outperformed him and everybody. Vise versa to us Messi fans too. We wouldn't ever vote Ronaldo.

Fans votes will always be influenced by emotions favoritism, religious, love for their fellow countryman, love for a player from the club they support. It's basically like expecting Seyi Tinubu or Mc Oluomo to vote for Peter Obi even if it's absolutely glaring to everyone that Peter Obi is the best candidate. Also, It's basically like expecting very strong Obidients and Peter Obi household members to vote for Tinubu even if It's absolutely glaring that he's the best candidate.

I'm not saying the journalists and Nationl team captains don't exhibit those characters above but it's very minimal compared to fans.

And lastly the most glaring robbery in the recent history of the award is not Messi on Sneijder, it's Ronaldo on Ribery

Thank you for this submission.. Giving fans all over the world the right to vote the Ballon Dor winner should be the biggest joke of the millennium.

If that should happen, even though I naturally prefer Ronaldo to Messi because of his work ethics despite being less naturally talented, do not be surprised that Ronaldo might have won this year edition despite not having any tangible achievements to even be shortlisted..

That is how powerful the messianic complex is which an average football fan is suffering from. The biggest mistake any football decision making body would make is to hand over that kind of crucial decision to a mob being ruled by their emotions and passion.

It would definitely turn into a game of who has got the biggest fan base and not their performance or achievements during the period under review.

It is the same psychological reason why some citizens would still vote for Tinubu despite becoming poorer under his government and some voting Peter Obi despite leaving Anambra poorer than he met it.

Riskymarvelous:
Where is lere Olayinka? If it was ÒBÍ that brought out all this matter now Reno and lere Olayinka for don dey talk say OBI dey lie

Lere does not have anything on Sowore because he has not held public office before.. If it was Obi that was attacking Wike, it would have been fire for fire because Obi wasn't a saint himself when he governed Anambra.

It is the same reason Reno is always agile when it comes to attacking Obi.. Materials about Obi plenty for their archive.. If Reno dares try that nonsense with Sowore who happens to double as Nigeria's most popular investigative journalist, he would begin by exposing all the atrocities he might have committed as Goodluck special assistant during their tenure.

Reno is a wise man.. He knows how to choose his battles wisely hence the reason he is avoiding Sowore like a plague.

Jonegonu:
so at your age you don't still know the meaning of army. That the army are made up of three groups. Namely. Ar
1. The normal army that you know is in charge of ground operations
2. Navy is in charge of our water ways operations
3. The airforce is in charge of our sky operations

You deserve to apologise to the dude for insulting him while spewing ignorance.. He is right.. The Nigerian military forces are divided into 3: The Army, The Navy and the Air Force..

The Army are the military forces strictly in charge of land activities.. And it is strictly the ignorance of the highest order to refer to the naval and air forces as the army too.. They are all known collectively as the military not the army.

AMINDA:
Here we go again with the ethnic baiting that all pseudo-spokesmen and supporters of the president are now known to exhibit. This is a coordinated strategy for Tinubu to use hate to galvanise vote, especially in his Southwest region. Online, Agbadorians are denying the usage of the word "Owambe" now, claiming it's "Owanbe" and accusing an artist of cultural misappropriation just because she's Igbo. In the end, the chickens will eventually come home to roost.

I don't think the usage of the word "deny" is appropriate in this context. The fact that a word has gone viral for long despite its wrong spelling by mostly non-natives of the language and natives who might not be too versed and deeply-rooted in the language does not make it right.

The word "owanbe" is the abridged version of the words "owa nibe" which literally means "someone is present at an event" in Yoruba. The letter "m" has no place there in whatever context it is being used. It is not only outrightly wrong but a serious anomaly.

So no one is denying anything.. It is just a simple correction of an anomaly that has gone viral for too long.

Dbeautyy:
One thing that marvels me about these people is that, don't they read about others being caught in the act? Or do they think they have something special which will prevent them from being caught as well.

I don't have fact about the statistics.. But this constant news about mere errand boys and girls of drug dealers being apprehended should tell you one thing.. For every criminal who failed, there must be others who are succeeding without getting caught..

Trust me, if there are no role models whom these ones are looking up to, they won't even be taking chances to transport drugs too.

It is called the gambler's mentality. They must have been promised to be released later should in case things didn't go as planned or at worst, get an insignificant jail term by the main kingpins who are probably pressing buttons and making moves behind the scenes to settle the big ogas at the top at the moment.

If the chances of succeeding are so slim, these kinds of news won't be hitting front page every week.

I am pretty sure all these cheap stunts of displaying the pictures of mere mules on the pages of newspapers without arresting the rich dons behind the scenes are just to make the negotiation fees bigger.

ravensckar:
The three times that I tried to reply you, I was banned. So, I'll try to be civil with my response. Perhaps, I won't be banned this time around.

Firstly, I'll pretend that I didn't see the question you asked in your first paragraph. It's not only ludicrous, but also puerile. For once, you got me thinking if I'm not wasting my time bandying words with an O'LEVEL holder. Your reasoning does seem like one. No offence!

Secondly, for every OLISEH & NEVILLE (great pundits that failed miserably at coaching job), there are several other ZIDANES, ENRIQUES, SIMEONE, MANCINI, ALONSOS, etc that succeeded. So, exactly what is your point? That great pundits don't make good coaches or what?

It's because of infantile assertions like this that the subject of LOGIC exists. Bros, your reasoning is horribly shallow and I'm shocked by the audacity with which you even displayed it. Anyways, it's a faceless forum, hence, even dumbos can have a say.

#Picks_tooth

I knew you were going to avoid the first question.. Whenever you have succeeded in coaching your first team, then we can have this conversation..


Like you said, Nairaland is a faceless forum when someone who has never coached any football team in their entire life is better than all Premier league coaches put together..

ElSudani:
Of course, why don't you find a good record label, sing rubbish and make a fortune for yourself?

Thank you very much for asking that jobless troll this wonderful question. Some Nairalanders have mastered the art of projecting the envy, bitterness and extreme frustration going on in their personal lives into an avenue for watering down the achievements of anyone doing better than them in life at every opportunity they get.

The fastest way to identify someone living a mediocre life is that they are very good at trolling and condemning greatness. It gives them a psychological sense of false fulfillment and satisfaction instead of being genuinely inspired by fellow humans making bigger moves and breaking frontiers and barriers in the world.

Their own is to be rubbishing the achievements of others without the creation of any notable value of their own for the world.

If this is not the definition of witchcraft, I don't know what it is.
