This is common sense

You put only your trusted allies in charge of your wallet, treasury and security

IGP was Tinubu's former ADC, they eat and dine together, they are brothers, if anybody is planning any evil, even without Tinubu knowing IGP would fight for his boss

Buhari reappointed Emefiele without even conducting due diligence or knowing him, he just felt since he is qualified give him the job, we saw how he betrayed the trust of Nigerians and Buhari


.

I don't understand why some Nigerians are not normal.

Presidency is not family business, you're leading a whole country, why is this too hard to understand.

Tomorrow when he's out and another tribe does same, you will be first to cry foul.

If you can't trust other tribes then you have no business leading them..

In the court, you maintained that Tinubu won 2/3 in over 20 states.

Oga, appoint people from those states then.

Stop this tribal mindset....

braine:
With the absence of "Yorubanization" in past administration, what did we achieve? When former presidents did as you've suggested, has the country gotten any better??

Picking from all the tribes doesn't mean the tribe will actually benefit anything from it.

We have compulsory leaders from every part of the country in the legislature (senate and house of reps). Why do you think this is in the constitution?

I dont care where anyone is from, as long as the job is done! Its time we start looking at results, not tribe.

No progress without unity and no unity is guaranteed without fairness.

Whatever you're building without this truth is simply on a sinking sand..

Moderators please don't delete my post. You don't have to like it but it's the truth.

Over hundred tribes with 3 dominant groups yet we justify these appointments based on merit as if there are no competent hand from other tribes.

Repeating the mistake of Buhari which caused division in the country.

Infact Buhari enthroned the whole of the North but Tinubu is taking tribalism/nepotism to a new height by focusing solely on Yourbas..

Obasanjo in his prime did exactly what Buhari did, he brought together the rest of the south and had a strong force to match the North.

Today, your kins is fighting and putting pressure on you to give them the whole juicy appointment, so desperate as if Nigeria is ending soon and they want their own bite.

Mr president, you didn't even ask if its only their vote that made you president.


Anybody supporting this madness is the real enemy of this country..

8 years of Buhari just ended, like a movie 4 years of this administraton will be done.

Even devout supporters of APC from other regions especially the North is baffled.

Peter Obi was the one alleged to have the intent to enthrone such nepotism.

Enjoy greatly o ye supporters of this madness for time will come when you wished it was otherwise..

For a president that allegedly won less than 37% of electorate, Tinubu , you can do better.

I know the pressure is from your kins Mr president but it will lead you to no where..

Your so called alliance with the North is failing, the clamour to unite themselves against you is real.

You have no concrete alliance in the South, your tribal kins don't trust anyone.

They will end up pushing you out of this seat before your time and sending Yourbas into longterm political exile.

Your biggest enemy in the future will be your greatest allies yesterday.

Am seeing the NORTH plotting with the rest of the SOUTH against you.

When this happens, these so called your kins pushing you into this decision and rejoicing today will desert and even blame you.


There is no progress without unity and no unity without fairness..

Rubbish news for distraction purposes. Please all eyes on the judiciary...

Puss360:
What made u think Hardship was the cause of his death??

No, it's softship..

Tinubu administraton considered the rest of the south as political enemies with echos of political bond between the SW and the collective North.

Northern political strategists learning from Britian understands clearly the anicent divide and rule antics and have succeeded in alienating Tinubu from the collective southern power bloc.

Presently, they have unleashed strong anti-Tinubu sentiment all over the North and seeks to oppose every policy of the administration terming these policies anti-north.

The plan is simple, Discredit Tinubu and stand behind a Notherner against this administraton in the next election.

This is not new, after the 4 years of Obasanjo, the North plotted to take over power but failed with Obasanjo's political unification of the south.

After GEJ first official tenure, same North objected and mounted a challenge in 2015 and with the betrayal of Tinubu led SW succeeded with Buhari, thus dismantling of the southern political cacus.


In 2027, the North is already planning to strike again and they need a willing partner from the south.

In all fairness, Tinubu honoured the agreement not to pursue or probe the last northern dominated administration in exchange of free reign of his administration.

Despite meeting a battered economy with empty account, he decided to turn to the West, quickly implementing their recommended policies in order to obtain help and validation.

A trap in my opinion since protectionism reigns supreme into the current failing global market.


The North having sensed an opportunity is willing to strike hard and will make them the biggest opposition to this administration.

Invading Niger will show forth their disdain for this administraton and will put this nation in serious crisis.

Tinubu needs strong allies for the fight ahead...

Will he unify the south?

Guys, there are over 3000 top political appointments to be filled, act fast..


1. Build an internal hate for Igbos. If it's hard, fake it, remember to termed them IPOB .

2. Verbalise the hate and make it public. Infact blame every problem of Nigeria on the Igbos..

3. Be a Muslim or strong affiliation with Muslims..


Goodluck on the quest...

Since the ascendency of Tinubu, some Yourbas who have no stake and will never have any stake in this administration continues to make noise about Igbos..

Brethren, Igbos are constantly pushing to better themselves and will never depend on the government of the day.

Whether you like it or not, they will continue to excel and to shock you, the more Nigeria have incompetent leaders who enthrone nepotism, the more Igbos will excel.

For example , the president appoint his allies to head let's say customs, his allies appoint their friends to head the units.. The main interest is to make as much money as they can. An Igbo man importing counterfeit items will explore and easily compromise those appointees. It's matter of time and they will technically control these men. Money remains the king, the little peanut he gives to these men will be extracted from the rest of the masses.


Now Brethern, shouting and screaming Igbos from morning till night on Nairaland will not help you oooo. After eight years of Buhari, they're are even buying more lands in yourba than ever..



Even if Tinubu goes eight years, they will keep establishing themselves while you keep screaming their name..

No matter the law you place, they will get across it and always one step ahead.. Do you bother to know what's going on in Abuja, leave the Igbos alone, God has blessed them to survive in this country..


The North and SW has ruled this nation more any other tribe yet an outsider/ foreigner will think it's Igbos that keep the Country stagnant..


My advise to you, go and find what to do with your life and push to do it well, if it means learning from Igbos, drop hatred and learn..


Otherwise these Igbos will one day buy both your land and the house you're living today, that's if you have any though.. Maybe your father's..

Nothing special here except that 4 out of the 8 advisors are Yourbas.
Every president in this nation have special advisors with long CV.

Enough of this propaganda, in 2-3year time, we shall see what the administration has achieved.

Never seen any administraton that didn't start well..

Some Nigerians never learn and that's why Nigeria will remain a very poor country..

Emefele is a criminal but there are bigger criminals that controlled the economy for 8 years but unfortunately they are untouchable cause they're Northerners..

Some Yoruba wants to preserve that relationship cause of politics.
Emefele is the cause of Nigeria hardship for 8 years yet Emefele had a boss.


One day, this table will turn. We have seen OBJ with power, Yaradua, GEJ, Buhari and now Tinubu..


I pity those they use as tools to push through their agenda.

Mod, I take God beg you. Don't ban my post, am just speaking nothing but the truth..

Initially, I thought this Emefele saga was just a joke.

Buhari's govt was totally controlled by Hausa fulani for 8 years..

Now Emefele is the scape goat and some Yourbas are rejoicing simply cause they feel CBN policy was against
Tinubu.

Knowing fully well, that no decision of Emefele was effected without Hausa Fulani controlled presidency.

So cause he's from Igbo stock of Niger Delta, he's now to be blamed for the evils of the last 8 years..

Imagine been charged of funding terrorism, some even said he refused when invited by senate or police.


In 8 years of Buhari, majority of the northerners heading top positions refused to attend when invited by senate or police..


What sort of human being are these Yourbas??

You're even afraid to point fingers to the North..

NNPC, Aviation, NLNG, Ports authority and the whole military apparatus was a conduit of serious corruption throughout Buhari's era..


But cause it was Northern affair, these set of Yourbas won't say anything..


What goes around comes around, Buhari is his might thought power will not end, today he's nobody. One day, the table will turn, remember that.

Today, every other southerner are labelled evil igbo by these set of Yourbas and will be made to pay.


Buhari practised Northernization (the whole north benefitted) but instead these set of Yourbas seek YOURBAZATION.


Heaven is WATCHING, Nothing is eternal and the rest of the south will pay you back in exact coin in the future. CONTINUE

So all these noise on Nairaland, you have no appointment waiting, bro I tire for you ooo..

Let Yourbas occupy the most important ministerial positions.

The cap also fits Yourbas for the security seats and every other powerful position.

It's yourba's time..

It's crazy to hear full bloodied youths of Nigeria hating on this man..

A man who came out with almost a clean hand, who has asked everyone to show where he has mishandled resources or abused people's trust..


For the first time, a politician who is very passionate about moving this country forward..

But why is he hated by some people?? Is it same hatred meted at Igbos??

Now he's fighting INEC through legal means yet the hatred continues, same INEC that abused their guidelines..

Don't think Nigerians understand what opportunity they have with this man, am just encouraged that greater number of people love him..


I have come to the conclusion that anyone that hates this man is Evil.

Now note, voting against him does not mean hate...


I mean, anyone who passionately hates him is a very wicked, dark and deadly person..

For no one with a pure heart will hate the only man who left resources for the next governor despite achieving his objectives, the only man who never allocated anything to himself or his family, the only who rejected entitlements as an ex governor..


This is the kind of leader Nigeria needs in all the 36 states including the presidency.


Am for those with a pure heart, FEAR THESE SET Of ANTI- OBI...

Even if they're your brother, sister or friends, so long it's not cause of political affiliation, please be very careful of them, these are the kinds that can do evil..

"If you must referred to as your excellency then the process through which you arrived to the office must be excellent". PO (2023).


I think this quote will be more treasured in many years to come.

Thank you PO for showing our youths the honorable path and to have faith in a good cause.

exstreve:
Now that Chinedu has jumped into the Igbo and Biafran train called Labour Party, I see so many gullible Yorubas clamoring for his win.

This is a man who constantly kept insulting the Yoruba race, top Yoruba leaders and calling them degrading names.


It’s now a case of LAGOS belongs to IGBOS or YORUBAS. Let’s see how it unfolds if the Yorubas will be foolish enough to give their state to an IGBO man 😂😂

Guys, you need to stop this now, it's getting out of hand.

This hatred will continue to breed hate.
Bola Tinubu, a Yourba man is now president, if he channels Nigeria money to only Yourba land and turn it to Dubai, the whole Igbos, Niger deltas and North will definitely move and occupy these yourba lands.

With their population, they will eventually control politics in all Yourba lands..

Use Nigerians moving abroad ( greener land) and joining politics as an example, today you have Nigerian MPs in UK, US and Canada.

So please if you don't want one day to see full bloodied Chinedu, Clark or Mohammed becoming governor in Yourba land, then let love lead. Every region deserves equal development otherwise let people seceeed.


Reflect deeply on these words and repent from Hate..

helinues:


We have seen and witnessed what Tinubu did in Lagos, what can you say about Obi?

Did governor Obiano erase all Obi's legacies in Anambra state that he couldn't use that as his election campaign?

You seem quite young , don't think you're ripe for matured engagement.

helinues:


Then relocate to Gambia cos Tinubu will be your president for the next 4 years

Brother, its not about who is the president, its about a greater Nigeria.
Buhari was 8 years president, what did it benefit Nigeria?


Please please, don't become a victim of a bad Nation. Don't want it to be late before you to realise that, I just hope you're based abroad..

naijapikin2:
Of course no one should advocate for violence. But this nation will never heal until blood is shed. How I wish the actions of end sars had continued after that.

If it is violence that will sanitize this nation so be it

I think majority of Nigerians want progress, from the result, you observe that the majority of them voted against the ruling party since it failed woefully.


Violence won't solve the problem, Love of fellow Nigerians will..

riverbird:
At the moment there's less than 2% joy in this country.

It's sad and APC knows this and will be doing anything for Unity.

Without this, there will be serious crisis ahead..

helinues:
Lp is going into political oblivion cosnforna party to survive z you need good funds.

LP should have been the major opposition if not for the selfish campaign of I I without considering the other aspirants contesting under LP

Apc and Pdp would be dead after 2027 election cos whatever agreement that might have bonded the party together, it would be expiring after 2027 election

Going into political oblivion? I don't understand.

I see PDP collapsing or merging officially with LP in the future..

First, I will like to say that since APC has been declared winner through this shamble of an election, its important that the winners understand that this is about Nigeria first.


Provoking other Nigerians cause the might of the ruling party was stronger does you no good, Buhari undermined just the SE and had a horrible run, your Tinubu won't survive a heat from the combination of PDP, LP and NNPP supporters.

Please think deeply about this, you don't know if you might be a Victim that comes from the crisis as did thousands that perished during Buhari's era cause of disunity.

It's time to be a Nigerian first and seek a united Nation not some childish jabs on the better majority of other Nigerians....


Enough said, let's talk politics.

Going by the presidential results, it's time for PDP, LP and NNPP to come together.

First in their pursuit of justice in the court and most especially what happen in the next election.

Here is my proposal, the 3 parties must work together to win the upcoming elections.

- Using the presidential result, any Party that came on top in each state, the other 2 parties must support that candidate. For instance, PDP and LP must support NNPP in Kano while NNPP and PDP must support LP in Lagos same in Rivers where they were runners up while LP and NNPP must support PDP in Kaduna, Kastina, Akwa Ibom Bauchi and others.


From this calculation, these 3 parties will gain 28 to 30 states which gives them the absolute power to dictate what happens next in our polity.


Winning a ruling party now requires common sense as everyone now know the BVAS and its poll upload was a Scam.

Lies.. Only 200 naira notes.. Say no to vote buying.

Vote buyers never regarded 200 Naira, must have stored in 500 and 1000.

Buhari bad ooo..

The answer to the 5th columnist sabotaging Tinubu's aspiration is MAMMAN DUARA.

You see, most of these men people support are nothing but Cowards..

El - rufai without shame has been to over four media stations with allegation of sabotage.

He insulates Buhari and made him look like a puppet by insisting that he is controlled. Yet he fears to name the Culprit.

With Aisha Buhari backing El-Rufia, its very easy to know that MAMMAN DUARA is the culprit.

Same man who battled the first lady and sent her on exile to Dubai, same who has the ears of Buhari even before the inception of his administration, same man who sent military to protect the CBN governor despite plans of Tinubu side of APC to arrest him.

Infact, its rumoured that same MAMMAN DUARA pushed the presidency to move on with the Naira design and withheld Buhari from fully backing Tinubu.

The point here is that El- rufai thinks he is important and ascribed himself as a confidant of Buhari but the truth remains, he is Nothing.

The very moment the party refused Buhari to pick his candidate drew a line of battle between the cabals or the presidency and the rest of the party.

Those cabals led by MAMMAN DUARA is simply plotting power to remain in the North and working everyday for Atiku to have an easy win.


Infact, Peter Obi remain the biggest obstacle which they didn't plan for. As he now takes a substantial votes from them from regions otherwise considered PDP zones. If not, Atiku wouldn't have already won even before the ballot.


Tinubu led APC must not allow this election to hold this month, they will lose so badly..

Postponing the election will give them more time to re- jig things..

So in my last political post, I tried to explain the current feelings in APC, how some within the party are bent on derailing the aspirations of Asiwaju.

Just 2 weeks after that post, it played out in reality, today everyone know the truth. The North wants to sabotage Tinubu and the presidency is not doing anything about it.

I went further to state what Buhari should do to help Tinubu win next month, whether it will happen remain to be seen though the electoral maneuver of Osun state yesterday shows the presidency read my post.


Today, my focus will be on Peter Obi.
You see, the Labour Party's chance of winning heavily depends on the divided votes of the North. Therefore, it is dangerous for Peter Obi to watch and see the North derail and sabotage Asiwaju with the consequences favoring Atiku to mop up the vote.


Labour Party must support Tinubu to continue this race, this must be strategic.

How can this be done?

1. Most of the intelligent youths in and outside Nigeria support Peter Obi and have deployed serious negative political campaign against Asiwaju, both through social media and other means.
Labour party needs to reach out to these youths to pip down. This damage of Tinubu's image is been used as propaganda in the North and as their reason of the ongoing sabotage of Asiwaju's aspiration.

2. Labour Party must speak out against this Northern agenda, they must align with Southern APC to issue a warning of the consequences of Northern domination and even threaten Southern retaliation. In the first place, the southern meetings was the reason while APC gave the ticket to the south.

Peter Obi can even ask the North to vote for another from the South even if they won't vote for Labour Party. It sounds stupid but the truth is that instead of all that vote going to Atiku, a divided northern vote between Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso gives Peter Obi and easy win on the first ballot.

3. Labour Party must reach out to Tinubu led APC and offer advice on smart politics. You see, those around Tinubu doesn't have brains and simply still rely on old type of politics. When they come to the media, you see them with their cocunut brains making crazy statements and taking people for a ride. Imagine one saying bullion vans mistakenly entered Tinubu's House and was even serious about it. SMH

Imagine crying over new note, BVAS and changing of commissioner of police, meaning this is what they're relying to win.
Tinubu was even stopped from debates, media and engaging freely with people he wants to govern. This has made him an elite presidential candidate with loss of touch with Nigerian reality.

I mean look at Peter Obi, even if you're not a fan, it's impressive to see someone connecting with ordinary Nigerians, Tinubu seriously need help with basic concepts of smart politics. Relying on money won't save him in his election.

4. Lastly, Tinubu and Peter Obi must sit down and make promise that each will support the other of this race ends in 2nd ballot where one of them have to face Atiku. That symbol of gesture will strengthen southern quest for the presidency.


The current reality now is simple, Atiku will the North and Peter Obi will win the South but who becomes the president is unknown between Atiku, Obi and Tinubu.





Might later write on why Kwankwaso still doesn't want to back Asiwaju.

I wish every Nigerian will watch this movie, I mean every Nigerian even those unborn if possible.

A movie setting themed comedy with lots of emotions and a resounding message.

Using a family to pass its message,
It clearly depicts a meaningless fight among Nigeria tribes with focus on the Ibos and Yourbas...

A fight which has hindered progress of what could have been a great Nation.

I wish you many lessons from this movie especially to those who don't understand that we have a nation to build.

For those with good experience of Nigeria's political scene, its crystal clear that APC is struggling with its presidential campaign.

Is this cause of its presidential candidate or the party in general?


Go beyond the facade of the colourful and elaborative outings which today is known to all that political rally merchants are real and have no single shame. Pure business for them and therefore nothing personal.


A party in power therefore pays the biggest considering their access to huge resources and in turn always have the biggest crowd.


Now the pointers to the current reality:
In 2015 APC battled with PDP, it was PEOPLE'S Led, huge passionate ordinary Nigerians determine to change the status quo with a man who has been perceived then to be pious, disciplinarian and focus leader.
Unfortunately, this man Buhari lost supporters and this showed in 2019 where even his northern base struggled to deliver him in a very controversial election.


Now 2023, APC have moved on from People's led to Elite- Led. It's no longer white Angel of Buhari in 2015 but a questionable Tinubu. It's no longer a balanced ticket between religion with Buhari visiting churches but Muslim/Muslim ticket, its no longer a poor Buhari against the stupid rich PDP but a rich Tinubu, not a perceived then healthy Buhari but a perceived sick Tinubu. The dynamics has completely changed.

To mask these limitations, APC plotted to employ the service of regional corrupted elites / warlords in the quest to deploy the old tactics that happen in kano, osun, imo, Plateau and other states in 2019.


But why did Buhari approve BVAS? Not sure he forsaw this mess, guess he had other more presentable candidates in mind.


Sensing the realities, APC presidential campaign have pleaded with Buhari to join the campaign train as quickly as possible to salvaged lost grounds.

Sometimes I wonder why Buhari is non chalant with serious issues.


You see, Tinubu must win in the North to become the president but unfortunately, its hard nut.

Atiku, an Hausa Fulani man from NE has almost seized the North. First, the NE feels its their turn for the presidency and have stood by NW for many years and therefore will not jeopardise their chances with a VP offered by APC.
By the way, the VP Shettima is not fulani but Kanuri which are only dorminat in just 2 states of the NE.

In the Northwest where Tinubu is heavily banking on, the fulani and Northern factor continues to be in favor of Atiku but a certain Kwankwanso is seriously messing things up for APC. Fair to say the KKK hold the ace here but unfortunately the votes will no longer go for APC like in 2015 but splitted among the 3 of them.


In the North Central, you then have an Obi's problem and still Atiku fighting strong, so even a winning here for APC will not have a wide margin..


WHAT APC SHOULD DO?
Personally, I don't think Buhari joining the campaign train will solve the problem as many now sees him as a complete failure. Infact, Tinubu's mantra is RENEWED HOPE, so doesn't make sense with a WAXED HOPE selling the RENEWED one in campaign grounds.


Buhari can help Negotiate a deal with 2 groups
1. The G5
2. For Kwankwanso to step down even if it means promising him presidency after Tinubu.

Buhari need to avoid pressure from local and international forces and give power to party loyalist to control security FORCES, INEC and the judiciary. Yes, he wants the legacy of a free election but the truth is that APC will lose if he stands on that. In 2019, the judiciary chief had to be removed for him be re elected safely.

Without these steps, the biggest shock for APC will be from the North. Even those elite Northern governors will not be spared by their people.

All said and done, Tinubu and APC will have to sacrifice everything for the support of the G5 which is the only lifeline left to win the presidency.


Forget paid crowds in rally, forget fake promises by politicians, the reality of the forthcoming election is clear.

ATIKU will win the North
OBI will win the South
Tinubu will lose on these 2 regions and therefore have no base..


Majority of the Northerners attending rallies for APC will eventually vote for Atiku, this is politically reality and the chance for Tinubu to turn things around is to seal the deal with the G5.


The North is determined to hold unto the presidency even Buhari and his goons knows this and that's why they don't want much appearance with Tinubu's campaign .

Am just curious, is the hate real or just politics.

I mean, who would hate a man like that who has shown clearly that he is different from our normal politicians.

I don't quite understand, is it cause he's Ibo? I remember quite well during Okonjo Iweala's battle to become the DG of WTO, some Nigerians even supported blocking her from the job cause her tribe, is the same thing playing out with Peter Obi??


Ok, but politics aside, who will hate men like the Former Emir of Kano Sanusi or Akinwumi Adesina for their passion to see a New Nigeria, why the hate for a man that have proved himself to be worthy to help us.


Let's relate guys, we are the masses right? We have felt the impact of the dark cloud covering the nation for a long time, How is it difficult to choose from the Atiku, Tinubu and Obi.

Now am not saying any of them is perfect but guys, we are choosing between men bent on the old ways and a man who wants to charter a new path.

For the first time, we have a very learned, vast travelled, very exposed intellect vying for presidency, for the first time , we have a man very close to the masses and not some Kings lording over us.


I mean, we know this is not pretense, a clear record of his past is there, with cutting cost of governance, fixing his state during his tenure to saving extras for the next government.


How do we even argue, debate or compare. It's a bit strange for me don't know sbout you. If there was Osinbajo on the ballot and El rufai, it would have made a huge difference.


Again I ask , are we not the masses Can anyone swear a life and death oath that this man is not better than those old crooks, why the hate then??


We have seen the effect of a Buhari, do you think you reading this will escape the effect of Atiku or Buhari? Even if you live abroad, you have families here and you will likely come back to visit.


Britain after playing foul politics with the just gone prime minister felt the negative imapct and quickly retraced their path by choosing a 42 year old, Indian to govern them based on competence.


In Nigeria, we pray every minute for Nigeria to change yet God sends a Saviour and what do you do, hate him.

Rishi Sunak is God's sent to Britain as Peter Obi is your Saviour, if you like don't accept him and keep praying for God to come down himself to help.


For the first time , we have all the political elites on one side INCLUDING POLITICAL ELITES FROM HIS TRIBE and have a Peter Obi leading the masses on the other side, PLEASE, is this not the best opportunity to drown all these corrupt emperors politically?


Nobody sees Peter Obi family in the election ever his wife is minding her business cause she knows just like in Anambra , she's not getting an office of first lady but just look at Tinubu and Atiku, their wives and their children.


People of Nigeria wake up from slumber, don't know if this is juju, hailing oppressors and fighting saviours, Nawoooooo


Again I ask , why do you hate this man??
