Osibanjo testing microphone.. Jabaganians are not happy...

The leading candidate for 2023 presidency at the moment is Tinubu. From the polls, Umahiof APC Anyim of PDP and Bello of APC are runner ups..


As at the moment, Osibanjo, Atiku and others have not yet declared but these guys will change everything about the race. They keep waiting for the right time..


According to Jagabanians , the North is already in the bag for Tinubu.


But the question is , who are these Northerners??


Oh yes , Masari, Ganduje and Zulum remains the best allies of the Tinubu presidency, add that to other handful loyal governors from the North.


But what is the relevant is the grand voice of the Northern elders forum, the Coalition of the Northern groups and finally the Arewa youth forum.

These 3 groups which are undoubtedly the most powerful Northern political groups have made a clear statement of Tinubu's PRESIDENCY and it's a big NO NO. .


To add to this , the middle belt sociocultural forum in alliance with other socio cultural groups from east, west and south have came out with a NO NO for an answer..



Note that some of these Northern states are controlled by the opposition PDP while a large chunk is controlled by APC governors strongly against Tinubu ( Buni, Baduare and Bagudu comes to mind)

Where then are these Northern votes going to come from?

Please , I need a civil answer from Jagabanians..

What is clearly known is that SS AND SE will never support SW presidency..


That doesn't mean that SW cannot win 2023 presidency..


But the loud voice of succession from Eastern region will become louder than ever before...


A SW presidency is a blessing in disguise for the BIAFRA dream, if they withstood the forces of Buhari led Northern presidency, Nigerians should be prepared for an all attack to break the nation..

The Nigerian project have totally rejected Igbos and lay claims on many reasons but what no one says is that the Igbos have supported every inch of the nation at some point.

Igbos supported GEJ SS, OBJ SW, Yaradua NW and even Atiku's NE.

They are the only tribe that lives in every other regions and settle properly with them, they're the only tribe that speaks the language of other regions yet the common mantra in the SW and North is that they can't be trusted, this is pure fallacy of base minds..


The Elites of the SW and North understand that if these mantra is projected then it takes the Igbos out of the equation and gives the national cake only to the north and the SW who uses it to become more powerful in economics and politics.


They understand that the Igbos are very courage and will definitely push for a rebalance to the status quo which has not favoured the masses..


The poor illiterate masses ( both educated and uneducated) buys to this mantra due to allegience to religion and ethnic sentiment.


Yet the nation degrades, the north and SW have still nothing to boost from all these years of propaganda except the weath of the elites that engineered these sentiments..


Today, the north have doubled the number of billionaires followed by the South westerner and laughed at the Igbos whose region remains shallow from federal government presence and no substantial billionaires...


Ofcourse , these sprouts of billionaires in the SW and North are simply government enabled billionaires from monopoly.

As a result of these unbalanced nature, the gap between the rich and poor expands leading to the nation been the poverty capital with all sort of crimes and violence..


The people in turn have become zombies from hunger and even worships these oppressors and carry their banners..


Nigeria is a curse and will always be until the right thing is done and it starts from the very foundation of politics...


Way forward - the issue of zoning should be out of question from our politics if we know what we are doing , let each zone produce a president for 6 year term and let take it by turns..


If not, I see the Igbo Succession plan a reality in the future and I speak from history..

Igbos have supported GEJ SS, OBJ SW, Yaradua NW and Atiku NE, which region have supported the SE..



SE and SS will never ever support SW for presidency , even if SW gets the presidency, SS and SE will never join the presidency but the strong voice of succession will become louder than ever before....

Bro, if you're serious, let's talk...

Ojota news presss

Since last year Buni, Bagudu and Baduare have tactically hold all ace in APC with the strategic backing of the presidency.

They will decide on the next presidency and if they don't get their way, they will move and back PDP, It will be their way or no way because they know that Tinubu as an emperor will castrate their political ambition if he succeeds just like he dealt with Ambode and Co...
The whole SS and SE APC powerhouse are behind the Buni team, including many governors from NC and NE except Boronu some other states , . In the NW, Ganduje and Masari who is indifferent..

Fellow Nigerians, whether you cry all the years of your life, Kanu will be released.

SE have been deprived and despised but when they agitate , you slaughter them and laugh at their humiliation, when they retaliate , you want them to be terrorist..


Countinue joking with Igbos, one day you will wake up and see Civil war.

Bro, remove hatred and bias from your eyes and see the answer to your question.

Someone already stated the difference, how you can seat in osun or boronu and accuse IPOB of terrorism in the SE whereby the Igbos have not. Think we'll..

With the NTA interview yesterday, it's quite clear that the presidency is behind the troubles of APC and this is indirectly affecting the whole country at large.


Tinubu has been faithful to Buhari even against his own people, he has never criticized him and solidly gave his support yet this level of disrespect coming from Buhari led APC is now becoming a mockery.


First , the issue of the electoral bill was declined simply because Buhari does not want direct primaries in APC. The presidency feared that Tinubu will definitely come through this system.

Now the second option is the indirect primary, the presidency knows that even with indirect , Tinubu can also surprise them , now Buhari is canvassing for a 3rd system which is CONSENSUS..


Typically, consensus is a sub part of indirect primaries but Buhari led presidency has attributed this as same par with other types of primaries.. This Consensus will finally bury Tinubu meaning that he has no choice but to drop his presidential aspiration.


Secondly , another observed fact with the NTA interview yesterday was a comment from the president which can only be deciphered by eagle eyes. The president mentioned that he is fighting for the interest of the people by refusing to sign up for the direct primaries as he will not allow men with resources and influential to use thugs to have their way. We only know 2 people in APC who have used thugs to have their way, one is Ganduje the other is Tinubu who wants to be president.


Remember on the Interview with Channels TV , he said if he favours someone , he will not say as he doesn't want him to be assassinated.


Now put 1 and 2 together, can a man with resources , influential and control thugs be assassinated

Now , these statements might be ordinary but amazingly Buhari's interviews are always edited particularly if it's from NTA, Buhari as we know cannot control his mouth to speak his mind but his aides helps to edit statements to will cause commotion.


Leaving this part of the interview only means one thing, they want the message passed and heard by all Nigerians..


On this Note , I will ask my brother Ahmed Tinubu to simply drop his aspirations, Buhari have betrayed him.

Malami knows that from next year, he will be hunted.

I pity what these guys will do to him, his case will be worse than Ribadu...


His sole plan is become governor of Kebbi with immunity.
Time will tell..

Nigeria is a country based on regions. Even today, there is nothing like the north as one region , therefore it's important that we do things right.

SS as a region had its turn out of struggle, NW and SW cannot continue to dominate Nigeria political system.


Let the SE have it's turn in 2023, if it's not workable then let the SS finish their tenure if that is still not feasible then the NE should be considered.

We need political stability for Nigeria to be a country of our dreams...


Many countries today achieve that stability in their own way, we need to formulate ours that consider each of these 6 regions as a sub unit.

It's time we stop talking too much in this country and put words into action.


Let it be constituted that each region can have a 6 year term that way tension will reduce and peace will start reigning..

Anything less than this is TROUBLE....




Let every well meaning Nigerians understand this, selflessness is only solution for a way forward....

Fellow Nigerians, it's that time of the year where we reflect on our actions and set goals to be better in the new year.

We have seen a divided Nigeria than ever before which is the fault of our fathers who refused sow good seeds in the past.


At this time , am calling for peace to reign in Nairaland among us brothers and sisters , from the North to the south , from SE to SW to SS to NC to NE and to the NW.

No more hatred against any tribe or ethnic, let's see ourselves as Nigerians first before any other thing .

In critism ,be objective , think peace first before anything and let your spirit be free from any rancour.

2022 is new year, let's list our new year resolution.

Let me first use this opportunity to thank my contacts whose first hand inside information never cease to materialize.

To simply digest the current fact, let's roll the dice back to history. Since last year, we made it open about the powers behind Buni's rise to the throne of APC despite clamour from many sides and even in contradiction to the APC and Nigerian's constitution.


Today, Buni , Bagudu and Baduare are known by the sheep and wolves as the sole commanders of APC with the secret blessings of the presidency.


This group has decimated the influence of ASIWAJU , hitting hard anyone within the party that raises his banner from Masari to Ganduje. The message is clear , stand for Tinubu and lose the state party structure, no wonder former senator Sani dare Tinubu's friends in the North to raise his picture in front of their houses.


While many northern governors have fallen in line , some in the SW and NE weathers the storm. But as it stand , Amaechi, Akpabio and Ben Ayade the strong leaders of APC in the SS in collaboration with Hope Uzodinma , Chris Ngige , Dave Umahi and to some extent Orji Uzor Kalu who are the strong SE leaders have decided to pitch their tent with the strong forces of the Buni team.


The main game remains to cease the party structure at the national convention but the end game is to control the APC presidential primary.


Their candidate is no other but Vice president Osibanjo who have been secretly tapped despite his initial hesitancy. Covertly, a strong team on behalf of his presidency is lobbying past presidents, top socio cultural groups, traditional rulers , top religious leaders, strong unions and even some international Nigerian partners..


All these treacherous attempt to usurp and destroy the claim of Jagaban to the throne have not gone unnoticed. As an Emperor, he cried out TREASON.


A mere commissioner according to some quarters now biting the hands that feed and enthroned him, an unpardonable sin and even a taboo in some quarters of core Yourba society.

The first bullet has been fired but all hell will be let loose in 2022 when Tinubu will openly declare for the presidency and Osibanjo will boldly declare afterwards.

Note that emissaries have been sent from SWAGA to Osibanjo to remind him of everything Jagaban has done for him and desist from enemies trying to divide the Yourba quest for the 2023 presidency.


Infact there are even certain calls within SWAGA for Osibanjo to openly decline any presidential ambition which will clear the path of Jagaban.


Despite all this threat, Osibanjo team bides time, they know that they're in a very strong position but trouble in their moral minds especially those in the team from the SW.


The powerful SWAGA team of Tinubu will make clear their threat to Osibanjo, ACCEPT these manipulatory offer of the Buni team and lose the support and Structure of ASIWAJU. A secret plan in on the card even a suprise intent to support the opposition party if ATIKU breaks through the primary of PDP.


A betrayal of ASIWAJU in this respect from Osibanjo, Buhari and Buni will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Oh yes it's the deal breaker after all the insult Jagaban has suffered throughout this administration. This is his life ambition and denial will be a failure not only to himself but the spirit of Abiola ( the saint of Mulisms in the SW) and he knows history will not be kind to him.


According to Akande's book, Tinubu supported Tambuwal for the Speaker of the house despite GEJ pleading to allow a Swesterner to rise, seems PA Akande will have to write another book in the future as the battle ground is drawn.

Lastly, a religious issue will surface in this imminent crisis as Yourba Muslims and yourba Christians will definitely choose sides...

Buni , Bagudu and Baduare plotting their graph, from cross River to Ebonyi while TINUBU and his fans are sitting in Lagos waiting to write their own results..


APC convention is a goal for the Buni team..

Imagine, why your mates are networking on how to make it in life , you're carrying the words of a bigot that died many years ago.

Don't know how stupid some people can be, so sad for some mother's going through broth process just to have a human that refuses to be a human being.

What tomorrow , you only have an Igbo man or Igbo people to help you. The same stupidity made Adamu Garba's crow app to go sour.

Even in the so called politics, haven't you seen Atiku and Tambuwal even banking on the so called Igbos to get presidency, are they not from the north like you..

Bro ,buy sense before 31st , don't carry this stupidity over to 2022.

Everyday you hear about the inconsequential strength of SE electoral vote yet many who propagate these lies still termed SE as the major tribe in Nigeria. A major tribe with over 50 million people yet been termed inconsequential? Many Nigerians are not smart.

First SE is Igbo but there are Indigenous Igbos to some parts of SS and even NC.

In the SE, there is less opportunities for Igbo men considering their zeal and talent in business, this led to mass migration to every nook and cranny of Nigeria, Africa and to the rest of the world.

But to limit this to Nigeria, the saying is valid that after the indigene of every state , the next populous group are Igbos...


What does this mean, that yes the electoral vote of the SE might seem small but in the real sense, every vote in other states are either tumped up or down by Igbo votes..


Lets us case studies from 4 great Nigerian states. Rivers , Lagos , Kaduna and Abuja.

PDP. APC

Rivers - 473 871 150 710
Lagos - 448 015 580 825
Abuja -. 259 997 152 224
Kaduna - 649 612. 993 445


From the above, we see that even in the North and SW base of APC , that the opposition vote was still solid. The Igbo votes teaming up with the rest of the opposition indigenes shores up the data in favour of PDP.


Lagos is purely an APC state which controlled the whole Local government yet PDP with little base still gave it a run for their money. Now in Abuja , the trajectory speaks volume, despite as capital in a northern zone , went to the PDP an insult for the sitting president.


The point is Igbo votes spread beyond SE, anyone who neglect their vote in politics is not a politician.

May I remind you that even Buhari had to run with Igbos for a number of times , that doesn't make him stupid. He simply ran with SW in 2015 as Igbos were all invested in GEJ.

As 2023 powers forward, Igbos and SS will determine where the presidency goes. The presidency will be between Northerner Vs Swesterner, whoever carries the day in the SE and SS will easily win 2023....

Every normal Nigerian at the moment knows that APC is the worst political party ever to grace the government. From destroying the unity of this nation to breaking all manner of boundaries including incompetent leadership at all levels based on Nepotism and quota system.

The consequences are clear for everyone (Normal Nigerians) to see today but what is the opposition doing.


Apart from regular statements issued to condemn the administration, PDP are not living up to expectation. Yes , they have some fearless governors who have taken serious stands that change or alter the course of the incompetence of APC but enough is not yet done by the leadership.


On the issue of the so much blood shed, one would have think that if APC led government are hesitating to move around various hot spots in Nigeria to comfort the people that loss their dear ones, PDP should have organise a shadow government to take such responsibilities.

Ordinary people needs to know that their leaders care, instead of wasting resources in some stupid things, PDP governors can contribute and be the first to reach out to those mourning.

On a national issue like unity, I expect the PDP as a party to organise a national conference and take a political stand since the APC government have refused to do so .
A Great divide between the South and the North is widening, what's the big deal in bringing all the socio cultural groups , unions from different regions, religious leaders , youths and political leaders together to discuss a way forward.

What of the secession issue on the burner , Buhari led APC have badly managed out existence as a country. Why is PDP not taking the advantage, is it wrong for them to offer real solutions by engaging the stakeholders in this issue..
For example, a strong statement on restructuring with a clear framework for execution which will give each of these regions a reason to embrace Nigeria.


PDP is simply not living up to the expectations of an opposition party, I think they're are just waiting for an opportunity to get back to power and the rubbish starts again..


We need a new political party based on a strong ideology , if possible ban anyone from APC or PDP from defecting to the new party.. Nigerians deserve a new set of leadership

Another end and beginning of another week. Welcome to the our weekly quiz show. Answer the questions below for a prize.

1. What is the total number of kidnapping/ deaths (by bandits/kidnappers) last week?

2. Guess the total number of homicidal deaths since the inception of Buhari?


Despite the conclusion of the above results, some die hards still defend Buhari as a Messiah. According to a comment by a face book user "Don't be surprise that if those killed by these violence in the North are given a second chance after seeing the future, they will still vote Buhari "

Sadly this is reality of our Northern brethens, this is a major problem we have in this nation where people defend their own even at the cost of their own lives.


Same Buhari has not visited Sokoto where over 40 people where burnt alive even Lie Mohammed , Malami and Femi Adesina is still writing their script since last week.

But if it's the beheading of 2 policemen by so called Ipob , the federal government and presidency makes it the core topic for the week.

IPOB/ Oodua Agitators are you listening, give maximum support to Buhari, infact a strategic campaign for continuity come 2023. I tell you, it's the quickest way for the dissolution of this contraption as the man is nothing but a disaster.


With our debt profile, insecurity, unemployment , ethnic/religious division , another 8 years of Buhari will certainly collapse Nigeria.


We actually thought GEJ was clueless, Buhari should actually be in a zoo where children will go and what about useless leader looks like..

Have fully observed Nigeria as a whole, it's pertinent to state that we are not ready to grow as a country. Instead of unity, majority chose hate. Instead of way forward , many chose ethnic sentiments and religious loyalty.

Today , 2023 is the new game. Instead of standing on the truth and uniting the Nation with an Igbo presidency, many choose to gang up against one of the most dynamic ethnic group in Africa with different stupid excuses.

When asked for a decent alternative, you get strange names like Tinubu, Atiku and Bello. Men who have absolutely nothing to give Nigerians , same like Buhari.


I remembered the aftermath of GEJ , the way Okonjo Iweala was mistreated , if she was available today, many will chose mediocrity ahead of her..Today she leads countries today not a cursed country called Nigeria.


If we are truthful as a nation then all these problems we have today wouldn't have arise in the first place but as it is, this is what we want.


So to help further dismantle this nation, I have resolved to continue to vote the worst of us..

First , will vote Tinubu come 2023 with Ganduje as VP , after their tenure , Yayaha Bello of Kogi will move in with with Mohammed Badure of Jigawa.


This is our future.

*Division/agitations will continue, who knows our situation might replicate Ethiopia.

*Grand corruption will be enthroned.

*Expect agbero politics

*More loan dependent nation , will become worse

*Triple unemployment as no investment for the young ones/ expect clear brain drain as many professionals is.currently fleeing.

*More Endsars style revolution by the youths

*Continue menace of different killers roaming about from Bokoharam/ bandits/Ipob . Expect new groups rising..





By the time another 16 years have gone with these team,I will re evaluate the brains of Nigerians again.

Despite the clear evidence and past record of a backward fella like Buhari, many voted twice for him. In 2023 , will be first in line to vote for TINUBU.


Many Nigerians don't have sense , for the sensible ones, I beg you flee to another country. Mustn't be Canada or USA , move to cool African country or cheap European countries and build a life from there , package yourself and then make move to other bigger countries..

There is simply no future for Nigeria as a nation, it's a cursed country at the moment. Check the number of useless deaths from January to this December, you will agree with me that it's only God that kept you and me today..


For those who will type trash, many of those who are no more as a result of this cursed nation might have had same mindset like you. Never know any other nation is peace time with such number of stupid deaths. Imagine burning of people in a bus in Sokoto yesterday by bandits, it's just crazy..

Only the truth will set you free...

Why is Twitter not reporting this development? Nigeriaaaaaaa

NADECO and OPC didnt weaken the position of SW in 1999.
Niger Delta militancy didn't weaken the position of SS in 2011.

Boko haram didn't weaken the position of the North in 2015

But IPOB will weaken the position of SE in 2023.

Hmmmm, when I was young , I thought all older people were smart and wise but now am older I know many of my mates that are fools..


Tanko or whatever your name is, you're a bigot Northerner whose only mercy for the south stops on the Muslim ends. Be a man and raise your banner for Tinubu and stop talking rubbish...






Even if there was no Ipob or agitation on the SE, men like a Tanko will never support an Igbo presidency...

PandoraObi:
Either Osibanjo or Tinubu, we are going

No need of championing ethnic madness bro, Nigeria presidency is not meant for some while others just play the spectator.


Despite the inner clamour for Osibanjo within APC, it will still present a big problem when PDP eventually have a northerner candidate....


The road ahead is horrible for the unity of this Nation if I will be honest...

Asgard73:
The North is pushing for power ... and they will get.
None of those you mentioned are pushing for a southern president.. including Buhari.

Buhari is the head and tail of the cartel .. when it comes to 2023.. he wish a southern president..( not Osibanjo) .. but the rest of the cabal and power brokers in the north want power returned..
nobody trust Buhari choice ... reason why the north is quite.. and are subtly telling Baba to think through his decision.. so it will appear a United North.
.... funny Buhari can’t get the North to support his candidate. ... simply becaue Buhari candidate is not Buhari.. and can’t be view in same light as Buhari.

Ganduje survived Kano .. because of Buhari.. and there it ends... those who know still understands.

I understand your point but at this stage APC has no option but to present a southerner. Take that to the bank..

[quote author=Vistra40 post=108052751]Just say you are rooting for Osinbajo than this long epistle[/quote

Osibanjo is a lovely candidate but the SE deserves their turn of presidency for the sake of unity.

You might say Ipob is the problem but remember NADECO didn't stop SW, Niger Delta militancy didn't stop SS neither did Boko haram stop the North.

To understand the inner dealings of political parties, you ought to either be a part of the inner caucus or have a solid contact with one that belongs to such a caucus, I happen to fall in the latter group by default.

Today , we dissect the plan of these 3 great men who holds all ace in APC. Sometime in the past, I proclaimed the tales of these 3 great men but many did not understand until they finally unveiled themselves with the powerful meeting with Buhari and solid statement of postponing APC convention to Feb , a sound strategic move despite cries within some quarters to relieve Mai Buni of the leadership.


Let me be clear, that move was against the Tinubu camp.. The line is drawn and it will be the winner that takes it all. If Tinubu wins , the BBB knows how the Tinubu camp deals with enemies so it's a fight to finish.

Note that only 2 camps will fight for the primary ticket forget Yahya Bello, one will be the Tinubu camp while the other is the Osibanjo camp.

The BBB + the presidency is routing for Osinbanjo based on the following points.

1. A loyal VP and a professional with less corruption baggage and easy to control. Remember as a General , Buhari like OBJ will not handover to a perceived strong man. OBJ went for cool Yaradua , Buhari - Osibanjo.

2. Southern Christian which will go along with a powerful muslim VP

3. Detribalized and more likely to gain favour from opposition regions of SS, SE and Some NC. Also will be more favoured by ex president and ex generals like OBJ , GEJ , Abusalami , Babagida , Gowan and Ty Danjuma.

4. Gain more traction with the Christian communities from CAN to strong Pentecostal leaders all over the country.

5. Support of the professionals and young people who will see him as a fresh air after the illiterate regime of Buhari and the corruption/agbero politics that reigned through them

6. Finally , support of the international community. US and Europe will never recognise Nigeria as a muslim state no matter how anybody try. Putting Nigeria on that list of anti religious book makes a statement. Now it's removed, there is only one option and that's for a Christian president.


Now back to the point, what is the plan of the BBB team, it's simple. These men are like a frying pan with oil, under them is the real fire which is the presidency which include the likes of Amaechi , Ngige , Abubabar Salami , Mamman Daura and so on.


Despite the plea of Kano, Kastina , Borno to be soft on Tinubu, the plot have thickened so much that by the time it gets to the primary, Tinubu might not contest. First the BBB team will seize the party by February placing solely their own men in charge of the party and by the primary will present Osibanjo as the candidate.


Now get this, Atiku Bagudu is the likely VP to Osibanjo. Buni and Baduare will be heading powerful positions in the cabinet if all goes as planned.


The Tinubu team will desperately hate Osinbanjo when the time comes but this has nothing to do with Osinbanjo , it's simply the plot of the BBB + the presidency....

Good morning Tundun. Our people say, whenever a man wakes is his morning. Now you're seeing the light, I will say again Good morning....

You're already blessed working in Nigeria, got elevated in Dubai and another greater promotion knocking from Berlin.
Almost transversing 3 continents with excellence yet you come to take advise from racist , ethnic championist broke ass nairalandlanders . You be witch?


Think you just want to rub your success on their face, none has yet to ask how far or which software you study but if Its ethnic or religious issues , you see their wiseness

GreatTormentor:
Mazi Bola Ahmed Tinubu the slayer of baby factory criminals and drug traffickers, they no born them

Bro , let me address you a bit. You registered your account just 2 days ago and all you know in hating and abusing other tribes. Hope u dey normal?

Nairaland has business section , technology , travel and other very informative sections. Even in politics section, contribute positively sometimes not chewing out hatred all the time.

Take this advice, don't take whatever that goes here seriously otherwise it will eat your soul to the extent that you might not recognise your saviour in life cause he or she is not from your tribe.

some people are naturally funny

seunmsg:
Depending on who will be PDP’s presidential and vice presidential candidates, APC will get nothing less than 35% in south south.

I disagree, so long as a Swesterner is on the ballot for APC, SS sees it as revenge time.. Like I said , Tinubu will get 10percent but with rough play (electoral fraud using state power), they can get 25percent which they need for constitutional approval.
