Immediately I saw the headline, something told me it would be Osun State. What's wrong with this state abeg?

I've been in Osun State since last year, and this state is never free from news relating to ritual killings and what not. Why is it so? It's no doubt scary. I know it happens in other places, but you see this Osun and Ife in particular, na case.
I have read and heard too many stories about this Osun.

For those doubting, simply google "Ritual killings in Osun State."


Na NYSC carry me come here, and I am certain I will go back home intact.

It's crazy! What is Mandate Group?

So even the electorates are at the mercy of one cabal group that would make a decision and ensure it comes to pass?

What are some people here defending? Why would you want to influence an incumbent governor to do what he doesn't want to? Are you part of his cabinet?

It's obvious we do not practice democracy but plutocracy.

GraciousGod190:
As much as I hate bringing this here, I need advice on ways to go about this..is it right for a father to drag his wife wealth with his son, knowing fully well, the son is now a grown man.

My mom left us with lot of properties she acquired as inheritance from her father and mother side, been the only surviving child, while she was still around some relatives wanted to grab some of it...claiming she's a woman...but seeing she had a grown up son which was me they had to maintain and stay on their lane... besides my mom was never the sluggish type.

Now, my dad is trying to drag this property with me, saying he wants to sell some of the land without even informing me... he his claiming some of house rents and lavishing it on frivolities anyhow.

Yes he's my father, he trained me up to this stage that I am, but by right I thought Those properties are mine already.since it's inheritance that's supposed to be passed down to her offsprings.....if am wrong please someone should tell me.

OP, it is presumed that there is no will in this case because you made no mention of it.

I could be of help if you could share more details about the structure of things.

Someone is vying for the highest office in the land, and you're telling him to discontinue with his ambition and support another person who is not showing any sign that he wants to win in 2023.

Some people sha! Wike is qualified and should contest. If he doesn't win, fine!

Power is not given, it is taken!! Your candidate is a man like Wike, let him fight for it.

It seems like Wike is the lone heavyweight from the South fighting Atiku and his cohorts in making sure power goes to the South.

Realist12:
Lagos is far ahead of Nigeria, even with the federal capital in Abuja it's nowhere close to Lagos . Lagos attracts the strongest , most industrious, the beauty in Lagos is actually the multi ethnicity of the people everone is giving a level playing ground to achieve the greater good for Nigeria. Can you imagine a Nigeria without Lagos?

Bros, Abuja is a well planned city ooo, no cap!

Something evil like this would happen and some people's first response is to talk about the culprit's tribe as though there's any tribe that preaches evil.

Do you know everybody from your tribe? Do you think they are all like you? Well, remember the heart of man is desperately wicked.

This one might be Igbo, but his lots are from Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Tiv, Nupe, Ijaw, Efik, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Abua, Ogoni, Andoni, Igala, etc.

THE LEVEL OF ETHNOCENTRISM ON NAIRALAND IS NAUSEATING!

Even though something is fishy, there is nothing in the story pointing to the fact that she was killed by her mother-in-law.

May her soul rest in peace.

Wike unlike Atiku, Saraki and Dogara is a party man. Atiku was given the ticket in 2019 and yet he wants it again? Na only am dey?

When the PDP fell in 2015, it was the above names that orchestrated it. So in order not for Wike to scuttle the plans of the PDP, he should keep shut and allow another Northerner to emerge as the party's candidate ba? Because Southerners no get sense ba?

You were created male, but you think God was foolish in doing so. Oya edit nature and let's see how you'd turn out.
You were made a man effortlessly; you lived you life as a man effortlessly, and in your foolishness wisdom, you've decided to spend and keep spending MILLIONS to be a woman.

You can never be a woman if you were not created a woman. Do all the surgeries in the world. FACT!

IGNORANCE BEING MASQUERADED AS WISDOM!

DontBullshitMe:
What gender is on his Nigerian international passport?

Wisdom no go kill you!

These people are clowns. Biologically, it either you're a man or a woman. If then you go ahead to alter nature, you're neither a male nor a female.

My dear friends, always make sure that there is a "Deed of Gift" evidencing whatever is being gifted to you, especially landed properties.
This whole shit would have been a joke on Tonto if there was a deed evidencing it.

Na this one I 1 tell una. And as forsome of these Jokers known as celebrities, they never fail us by brandishing their foolishness for the world to see.

Nnamdi Kanu will be allowed to go free, and do you know why? 2023 of course!

If Kanu is not allowed to go free, there'd be serious voter apathy in the Southeast of which it is now obvious that he controls.

This whole rubbish na just cruise.

saphiere:
Well, it's a man that is mentioned in that verse

With due respect, you're wrong. Man was used in a generic form, encompassing man and woman.

Caseless:
The first time wike is making real sense.


I hope he gets the ticket so we can remind him when he told Muslims that Rivers is a chr state.

Are Zamfara, Kano, and Borno secular states? So what is Wike's crime in saying Rivers State is a Christian state? Let's face reality and ahun the CFRN.

Obi this, Obi that...
After declaring, he hasn't even hit the ground running. He must start building bridges now, or does he think the presidency will be handed over to him on a platter of gold?

If Peter Obi were what people claim he is, we would have seen the grand transformation in Anambra State when he was governor.

Whether na Igbo, Yoruba, Efik, Ibibio, Ikwerre, or Ijaw man, let's vote for a competent man or woman from the South. We need a true leader to salvage Nigeria.

Nigeria is a secular society and thus, power should not go back to the North.

It's funny!
I watched this guy as a child and this same guy being all grown up and now married is still like a scene in a movie.
Happy birthday to his lovely wife though.

North this, North that...
My own is that they should carry out a valid population census. Northerners are not really that large in population. If they are, where are they situate? Na few states for North get population, but during election, you see millions of voters coming out from crab holes and what not.

LLiKYekoba:
Stop deceiving yourself, tyrant megalomaniac Wike can't win the presidency. The SE and others are simply tolerating him, the North and SW can't vote him. Yes, he has Rivers billions which delegates and other politicians will continue to chop without telling him the bitter truth.

Even as a VP, nobody would want somebody as megalomaniac as Wike for a running mate. He can wake up one morning and overthrow his boss, ask Rotimi.

The best bet for him is the Senate. His political associates are not telling him the truth because of the millions they are taking from him. He doesn't have the temperament to lead a complex country like nigeria.

With due respect boss, your view about Wike isn't correct. How can you say he (Wike) overthrew his boss? Rotimi as a true Rivers son decided to use the state's money to bankroll Gen. Buhari against his brother and the then incumbent president, Jonathan.
Amaechi even started the campaign for Gen. Buhari in Rivers State.
During a workshop held at Rivers State University where I was a student, Amaechi as one of the guest speakers changed the whole meeting to a political rally where he urged students to vote out Jonathan. Remember, Jonathan was once a Rivers man before the split of Rivers to create Bayelsa.

Also remember that the state became an opposition state for the first time because of Amaechi. It was at this point that Wike, being loyal to Jonathan as the President and a die-hard PDP loyalist since political birth, saw the opportunity to take power from Amaechi.
Rivers State totally rejected APC, and Ameachi was caught in that web as well.
So boss, he did not betray Amaechi, buy Amaechi in turn betrayed Jonathan, the SS and SE combined.

One for the road:
Amaechi just like Obaseki first thanked God and then WIKE for his victory even at the Supreme Court. And mind you, Amaechi was in far away Ghana when Wike was pursuing his legal matter in court. It is not even news that Wike sold his estate just to continue with the matter that brought Amaechi to limelight in 2007.

Wike should focus on the VP slot, meaning the prophet is rooting for a Northerner to continue after Buhari? It is well!

Make una free Wike abeg. He has the right to contest for the highest office in the land. Nothing precludes him from doing so.

Unlike Atiku that cannot work for anybody except himself, Wike is a die-hard party man that has work for the party, PDP since adam. Remember Atiku was not his preferred candidate in 2019, but Tambuwal, yet he still pulled out resources to support Atiku.
If Alhaji Atiku doesn't get what he wants,he defects! Which kind "rollercoaster" politician be that?

And as for people saying Wike is arrogant and mannerless, you'd agree with me that he says what 90% of his colleagues cannot say, I mean the truth. He has never asslicked the FG even for a day.

WIKE IS FEARLESS AND GOES FOR WHAT HE WANTS. Politics is a game, and may the best candidate win this game.

Igwe Alfred Achebe, you be fine man abeg!

okooloyun1:
The day I subscribed to gotv was the last day IBEDC gave us light in my area. I'm dumping their ass for TSTV next month.

Bro, is TSTV available now?

And this same Kaduna State will be as calm as a graveyard during the 2023 elections. Yeye dey smell!

Honestly, I would have loved Super Eagles to beat Ghana like 5 goals to nil, but my guy millions dey hinged on Ghana winning the match. I no know why em bet against 9ja, but I pray he becomes a millionaire because of this game.

And do they supply
uninterrupted power to your house and neighborhood?

This is the funniest comment I've seen today

Dear friends, please avoid having issues with these power-drunk armed officers. Just act like mumu go your way ooo. These men are driven by the blood they have qasted.. It's only God that can see us through.
Na so dem hold me for Edo State in the middle of nowhere, on my way to PH. I refused to identify myself as a lawyer to avoid "you 1 show yourself ba?" WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING? NO BE LAWYER DEM DRAG PUT FOR CELL?

I wish the young doc a quick recovery. Nigeria is gradually becoming a grand joke!

Sowore has been in bed with the bad eggs in government for a very long time. Oga should stop disguising because we know him very well.
We need someone better because Sowore is not an option. Was he not instrumental in bringing PMB on board with his malicious publications against GEJ?

Golan007:
Let's vote E-money or Obi Cubana.

Funny you!

Golan007:
Go find out when Biden first got into elective office.

Do you want to compare The US to Nigeria? I just want a competent young person, not all these old men.

blancsn1:
What year as Atiku Pandora criminal Peter Obi Kalu Orji Anyim been in power just to prove to you that you are a fool.

One key trait of a foolish person is that he is quick to call others fools. Can you first of all deal with your grammar? It's horrible.
The CFRN 1999 gives me the unfettered right to speech. I can say whatever I want within the bounds of decorum.
If you have a dissenting view, why not engage me intellectually? No! You've vowed to brandish your ignorance for the world to see.

ASO ROCK WILL NO LONGER BE A RETIREMENT PLACE FOR THE ELDERLY. NEVER!

OmoEpe:
His vision of 22yrs ago is what lagosians are enjoying today. That shows he is not just a visionary bit an achiever

Biko show me the vision of your fathers in meth region that you are enjoying today apart from eating human meat in your Egusi soup pot

So just because I am against Tinubu's ambition , I am now associated with Mpkuru mmiri? You're dumb and your comment is as irrelevant as the "P" in "Psychology."

And 22 years down the line, you still want him to be in power? God forbid! The same people have been ruling us since Adam and even some of us (youths) are willing to continue moving in circles by recycling these great-grandfathers. It is quite disheartening!

NotoriousBiggyS:
If care is not taking Atiku will be the one to destroy pdp completely with selfish ambition of his.
PDP should do fast and eliminate this man presidential ambition so as not to give that lagos drug baron an easy win next year because with Atiku as PDP presidential candidates, an easy win it will be for that evil party called apc, atiku is a weak opponent not marketable

Assuming without conceding that Atiku is made PDP Presidential Candidate for 2023, you seriously think Tinubu will beat him?

You really underrate the North when it comes to politics. Dem no sabi party, and dem no get Ph.D (pull him/her down) syndrome wey don bedevil the South since Adam.

If it so happens, Atiku will not just win the North, but the South-East and South-South.

But never! Power must return to the South come 2023.
