The GAC is a smart move to check excesses of governance. They put Ambode on the spot when the wife erred by slapping a clergy man & the rest is history. Let's thread softly with power. Its is intoxicating.

That Ambode wife is in the mould of a Jezebel. She has brought a curse on herself and her household. Ambode is affixed to a curse!

The Governance Advisory Council is a structure of the APC in Lagos. It is made up of former governors, deputy governors, ministers and major politicians in the Lagos APC. Its role is to advise the governor on political developments in the state.

The members of the GAC have contested many elections and solved many political problems. They use their wealth of experience to advise the governor on political issues so that he can focus on the work of administering Lagos.

We saw how well you advised Sanwo Olu on Achimugu!

Where are the people he built? Why didn’t you mention them and where they currently are at this point in time😀

Lots of words writing nothing

Can't you see that it is an attempt at laundering the image of Olisa Metuh a thief and corrupt man and wicked man who should bury his head in shame and repentance! Olisa Metuh can only breed thieves, rogues and wicked and corrupt people like he is.

yemre:
These is the real truth. But some people will still not agree with you.

They're still fixated on unseating the incumbent even when they have no legacy to campaign with and they are not even sure of participating in their own party primaries, let alone appearing on the ballot.🏃🏃🏃

Let's not stay fixated on politics for the sake of it. Who are this people in their public and private life? What impact have they on good governance in Nigeria? That is what we should be looking at and discussing. Olisa Metuh is responsible for the death of our military men in the war against insecurity in Nigeria. Olisa Metuh corruptly received from Dasuki our money meant for dealing with insecurity leading indirectly to wives of Nigerian soldiers becoming widows and their children fatherless and some orphans due to his corrupt deeds and someone is saying he is raising leaders! Go and say so in a military barracks and see whether you will not be skinned alive! Olisa Metuh should be in jail serving a very long sentence for corruption! Let us effectively rise up against the evil attempt at rewriting Nigerian history as it concerns Olisa Metuh a thief and a wicked man!!!

The Mobiliser-in-Chief: How Olisa Metuh built a generation of young political leaders

Who? Olisa Metuh! Stop insulting our intelligence!!!
Has Olisa Metuh answered to this? 👇🏾👇🏾
Arrest
On 5 January 2016, Metuh was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),[23] answering questions regarding some funds (arms deal) said to have been traced to his firm.[24]

"From the records, Metuh got over N400 million, he has not said anything because we need the public money to be returned so that it's going to be used for public good," Mr. Ibrahim Magu said during a meeting with online media publishers in Lagos.[25]

On 5 February 2018, Metuh arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja in an ambulance.[26] He was absent when the case was heard the previous week. All the theatrics he put up back then when he was brought in on a wheelchair into the courtroom pretending to be sick to curry public sympathy so as to escape justice when he was put on trial are in the public domain.

ibibiofirstlady:
In this August 2018 legal advice, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) under the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) formally stated that there was no prima facie case against the then-Senate President, Bukola Saraki, regarding the April 2018 Offa bank robbery. The document explicitly noted that based on the interim police report provided to them, investigators were unable to establish any evidence linking the Senate President to the offences of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, or culpable homicide.

The AGF’s office maintained this position by emphasizing that they had not found any "departure" from earlier findings that cleared him of involvement.

See paragraph 2(vi)

Nonetheless, time does not run against The State! It is only a discharge and acquittal by a court of competent jurisdiction that can absolve Sen. Bukola Saraki of guilt in the matter.

Growing up in Nigeria, many of us heard this crazy story…
That India once defeated Nigeria 99–1 in a football match.


As funny as it sounds now, a lot of people actually believed it.

So what really happened?
After digging into it, here’s the truth:
There is no official record from FIFA, CAF, or the Nigeria Football Federation of such a match ever happening. India and Nigeria have never played each other in any recognized international match from that era
A scoreline like 99–1 is practically impossible in real football
And of course… the ball never turned into a lion

So where did the story come from?
Most likely, it started as a schoolyard tale that spread from one person to another. Back then, without the internet, stories like this traveled fast and became “facts” over time.
It eventually became part of Nigerian football folklore.





I made a short video breaking everything down, including how the myth spread and what actually exists in football records.

Atiku is self-centered, arrogant and lacks political acumen. I wonder why the likes of Obi, Kwankwanso, Ameachi, etc chose to join ADC with Atiku.
He will definitely destroyed ADC.

They wanted a free ride to political prominence. They know Atiku will give shishi!

AMINDA:
If Tinubu wanted that, he would not have invested so much in having Wike destroy the LP and PDP who already zoned their tickets to the South.

The typical market has several access gates leading into it.

I saw the kiss in the court after the judgement...


I thought it was forced and for the cameras.


By the way that's how Winnie Mandela was pretending with Mandela until he was sentenced and she showed her true colors and started frolicking with small boys.


Mandela never forgave her!

The hate peddler will learn the hard way! And to think that this one was the keynote at an NBA Conference! Speaks volumes about the optics of the NBA Leadership that invited him to its podium!! Many now know better.

AMINDA:
Bala Mohammed may join the NDC along with Seyi Makinde. Goodluck Jonathan is also being courted to fly the party's ticket. He may choose Bala as Vice. Jonathan on the ballot will serve as a third force and will further complicate things for Tinubu in the SS and NC.

That will be okay for Tinubu fans. Votes will go into fractions.

They generally stole so much they should be contented with that. Policemen who were not corrupt while in service fall back on the goodwill of the society at large who knew them as men of integrity before retirement. I have assisted one in transiting to a wonderful job post retirement. While in service he was not corrupt AT ALL.

THE BRUTAL FINAL HOURS OF GENERAL AGUIYI-IRONSI: BEATEN, DRAGGED & EXECUTED BY HIS OWN SOLDIERS

July 29, 1966. Ibadan, Western Region.
Nigeria’s first military Head of State — the decorated war hero who stopped the January 1966 coup and took power to “save the nation” — spent his last night as a guest at Government House.
He had ruled for just 194 days.
What happened in those final hours remains one of the most brutal and painful episodes in Nigerian history.

THE VERIFIED LAST HOURS (EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS INCLUDED)
On the evening of July 28, 1966, Major-General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was in Ibadan on a nationwide tour to calm ethnic tensions. He stayed overnight as the guest of Lt. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi, the Military Governor of the Western Region and a loyal ally.

Fajuyi had already warned Ironsi of growing unrest and possible mutiny among Northern officers.
In the early hours of July 29, rebel Northern soldiers — led by Major Theophilus Danjuma (with involvement from officers like Murtala Mohammed in the wider coup) — surrounded Government House.
• Ironsi, Fajuyi, and Ironsi’s Air Force ADC Captain Andrew Nwankwo were arrested.
• The soldiers stripped them of their epaulettes and rank insignia.
• Both Ironsi and Fajuyi were brutally beaten and interrogated about the January 1966 coup (which Ironsi had no involvement in and had actually crushed).
• Fajuyi was reportedly offered a chance to step aside and save himself but refused, choosing solidarity with Ironsi.

They were bound (hands and feet with telephone cable or rope), thrown into a Land Rover, and driven to a quiet forest spot near Lalupon (off Iwo Road, outskirts of Ibadan).

Eyewitness account from Captain Andrew Nwankwo (Ironsi’s ADC, one of the few direct survivors):
He was taken with them, witnessed the beatings and torture, and later escaped into the bush and a nearby river while the soldiers dug their graves. Nwankwo’s testimony (corroborated by another ADC, Lt. Sani Bello, a Northern officer who helped create the distraction for his escape) describes Ironsi standing tall and dignified even under brutal beating. Fajuyi was already badly injured. Both men were eventually riddled with machine-gun fire. Their bodies were dumped in a shallow, unmarked grave.
Ironsi desperately tried to reach his Army Chief of Staff, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, by phone but could not get through.
He was only 42 years old.

THINGS MANY DON’T KNOW (VERIFIED HIDDEN FACTS)
• Was Ironsi always going to be a soldier?�No. Born March 3, 1924, in Ibeku, Umuahia (Igbo Catholic family), he lived with his sister Anyamma after age 8. She strongly opposed him joining the army. At 18, against her wishes, he enlisted as a private in the 7th Battalion of the Nigeria Regiment on February 2, 1942. He rose from private to company sergeant-major by 1946, then trained as an officer in the UK. He took “Johnson” as his first name in admiration of his brother-in-law, Theophilus Johnson.
• Ironsi was a highly decorated international peacekeeper who served with distinction in the Congo crisis (earning MVO and MBE).
• He survived the January 1966 coup because the assassins missed him at home.
• To placate the North, he had promoted several Northern officers — some of whom later turned against him.
• His body (and Fajuyi’s) was exhumed weeks later, temporarily reburied in Ibadan, and given a full state funeral with military honours in Umuahia on January 27, 1967 — his third burial.

THE UNSETTLING TRUTH
Nigeria’s first military leader — a man who rose through the ranks with honour and tried to hold the country together — was tortured, humiliated, and murdered by the very soldiers he commanded.
His death (and the wider July counter-coup) triggered the chain of ethnic massacres and events that led directly to the Nigerian Civil War.
What an irony of fate — the general who stopped one coup was destroyed by another, accelerating the nation’s slide into division.

DROP YOUR VERDICT BELOW, FAM:
• Was Fajuyi a true hero for refusing to abandon Ironsi?
• Did Ironsi make fatal mistakes, or was he simply a victim of revenge?
• How different would Nigeria be today if he had survived July 29, 1966?
Let’s talk real, painful history with respect

Copied

Captain Andrew Nwankwo (Ironsi’s ADC,) should be ashamed of himself and should have been court-martialled and shot for abandoning his duty post which is Ironsi. His job is to protect Ironsi with his life if need be. He was expected to die with Ironsi. The shameless man even became a Senator! Nigerian Journalist are largely a lazy lot. They should have written up a storm with their pen that would have denied the shameless ADC a seat among the Distinguished! Fajuyi was a honourable man!

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has officially suspended the supply of Chinese electric vehicles from BYD to IDF officers due to concerns over data collection via embedded communication systems and sensors.

Ynetnews reported on this.

The ban came after numerous warnings from cybersecurity experts, who emphasized that Chinese vehicles could be used as tools for espionage.


Earlier, the Israeli Ministry of Defense had already received over 600 Chinese vehicles, including the MG ZS EV and Chery Tiggo 8 models, which were actively used as official transport for officers, even near the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Tel Aviv.

However, the new BYD Atto 3 electric cars, which were planned to be assigned to IDF lieutenant colonels, were not put into operation after their electronics were checked.

To minimize the risk of information leakage, the e-Call system — the automatic emergency services communication feature — was forcibly disabled in the received vehicles.

However, experts believe that this is not enough. Dr. Harel Menashri, one of the founders of the cybersecurity department at the Israel Security Agency (Shabak), pointed out that Chinese cars should be considered mobile intelligence platforms capable of collecting audio, video, geolocation, and biometric data, and transmitting it to servers in China.

So it's easy to fix power within 4 years?

So obi will fix power within 4 years right?

Wow! I have no business with Obi! The cat is let out of the bag!! The real you is out in the open!!! You are classified right away!!! You are one of those politicians who believe that! Why did Tinubu not tell us that from the beginning of this matter when he come 419 us! Na 419 una be. Una collect our votes under false pretences. Kuma, you no get shame!

Kwaks don enter trouble! With Atiku talking down on him on that Arise TV Interview the goose of Kwaks is cooked tender!! He will be too ashamed to go back to the APC where he is sure to see a lowly party officially to see what crumbs he can get! Overbloated ego Kwaks has. I am not a Tinubu though!

Lordhanzo:
obi put this issue to rest long ago by asking the Apc govt or anyone that have proof about any corruption scandal. No one. Not even one came forth. He’s not like tinubu without origin or atiku the old moneybag

But he lacks integrity and is desperate to have power. Men who lack integrity and are sold to unbridled ambition for power are not suited to handle the levers of power for reasons that are quite obvious. Peter Obi will eat faeces just to be President of Nigeria! That is not how it goes!

SmartPolician:
It appears these ones are fighting to resurrect a dead corpse (PDP). That's exactly what will happen to APC the day the party loses presidential election. All their politicians will dump them and decamp to the president's party as parties have no ideology in Nigeria

You make a mistake. PDP is not dead. It may be in disarray presently but when Wike is done doing his mission in Tinubu's government you will see that PDP remains a force to be reckoned with.

You will still remain a Nigerian citizen! Kettle calling pot black. Not as if it matters though considering that Atiku is no different from him! Tueh!!! Abeg give me the regular power you promised or park!!

Lordhanzo:
main reason everyone has to join hands and send him packing from the rock. This post is not an appeal to atiku. He can jump off the cliff. It’s to a more vibrant and younger states man Rabiu. Join hands with obedients and see the change we crave

None of the politically rotten guys on offer in the Association of Disgruntled Comrades known as ADC can offer good governance. Check their trajectories ALL!! They are ALL thieves, corrupt and political vagabonds in power. They will tell you it is one thing to be a thief but quite another to be corrupt!
I wished some party had on the ballot NOI, Osinbajo and other folks whose past records indicate that they are capable of providing good governance

[quote author=wwwihy post=139126078]Q: Atiku is coming with 6.9 million votes, Peter Obi is coming with 6.1 million votes. Do you think you can match the other guys in your ADC?

Amaechi: We are registering now in the ADC. Why haven't the 6 million registered with the ADC? Why do we have 3 million? If I were on the ballot (in 2023), I would have more than 6 million votes.

Lordhanzo:
that imagination is yours alone. Yiur assertion is tinubu is more loved than obi in the north ? They have seen that he’s a useless man. They don’t live him

I will be glad to see the North reject him. However, that is not the reality on the ground! He is set to win. Tinubu has not done well and does not deserve to return as President. He takes us for a ride!! He failed to fix power as promised by him. We should hold him to his word when he said he would not be electable in 2027 unless he fixed electricity challenges in Nigeria. He failed!

Lordhanzo:
he needs to play his cards right. Deputise obi.

Atiku isn’t loved in the south. Only dele momodu is busy singing his praise. Only God knows what he’s been promised. Kwankwanso on the other hand isn’t known. By aligning with obi he becomes a more national figure

Maybe. I get your drift but the mere mention of Peter Obi's name as the President and Kwaks as the Vice-President will affect the chances of the ticket in the North where the outcome of Presidential elections is decided. For now, in the order of priority the North will prefer to trust other geo-political zones rather than the South-East. Nnamdi Kanu over the years has not helped matters and sadly so as that could work against NOI one my preferred candidates for the Presidency.

Lordhanzo:
In Nigerian politics, timing is not just everything—it is the only thing. Those who understand this rise. Those who don’t spend decades chasing a power that never settles in their hands. Like the rudderless atiku

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso stands today at a familiar crossroads: pursue the presidency at all costs, or position himself strategically for a victory that is not immediate, but far more certain.
History has already given him the answer—if he is willing to listen.
Nigeria’s fragile political balance has long rested on an unwritten but deeply respected principle: rotation. Power shifts between North and South, not out of charity, but out of necessity. It is the glue holding together a country of competing identities and interests.
When it was the North’s turn, Peter Obi accepted the role of deputy to Atiku Abubakar without fracturing the system. That decision was not weakness—it was discipline. It was an understanding that power, when pursued with patience, eventually returns its rewards.
But when the pendulum swung to the South, that same discipline was absent. Ambition overtook balance. Greed, plain and simple, disrupted what should have been a straightforward continuation of the rotational principle. The result? Division, distrust, and a political landscape more fractured than ever.
Kwankwaso must not repeat that mistake.
There is a difference between a politician and a statesman. A politician grabs at power; a statesman positions himself for it. Right now, the path to relevance—and eventual dominance—for Kwankwaso is not through confrontation, but alignment. He should take the deputy role.
Yes, it may appear like a step down. But in Nigeria’s political chessboard, it is a calculated move forward. By aligning with a Southern presidential candidate like Obi, Kwankwaso secures something far more valuable than a risky solo run: trust.
And in Nigerian politics, trust translates to votes—block votes.
The North does not forget its own. But neither does it reward recklessness. By demonstrating restraint and respect for rotation, Kwankwaso signals to both North and South that he understands the rules of the game. That signal matters. Because when the South completes its turn, the question will not just be “who is next?” but “who waited their turn?”
And when that moment comes, a patient Kwankwaso will not need to campaign aggressively. The momentum will already be built. The narrative will already be written. From ogoja to asaba/benin . From bayelsa to port-harcourt his name will carry weight—not as a desperate contender, but as the rightful successor.
Even more critically, the north will not resist him. It will endorse him. He’s a northerner
That is how power is won in Nigeria—not by force, but by sequence.

Kwankwaso must understand this: politics is not about who runs first. It is about who finishes last.
If he chooses impatience, he risks isolation. If he chooses strategy, he secures inevitability. The choice is his. But history has already shown which path leads to power. It’s the turn of the south. Obi has the ground support in the south already. Do not be deceived by lies and social media . Obi won the president in Lagos. No other statesman could have pulled this off.

Kwaks overrates himself! Atiku just cut him to size when he effectively described Kwans as a Northern politician whose Northern influence is limited to Kano and even at that other politicians exist in Kano with large following. His influence in any of the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria is virtually nil! An Obi/Kwaks Presidential ticket will further lead to fractioning in the voting pattern like it happened in 2023. It will favour the failed Tinubu! Truth is, Tinubu while not winning Kano will obtain the required percentage of votes and in other States except the South-East. Lagos voters have seen through the smokescreen that Peter Obi was in 2023 and are not likely to vote form as massively as they did then. Atiku will never win in South West nor obtain the required percentage and same for the South-East except he nominates Obi as his vice-president . .... The permutations are not difficult to fathom. Tinubu is likely to win. I wish we had an alternative!!
