CharleyBright: I stopped watching Jounalist Roundtable show and indeed TV News because of this buffooon called Babajide Otitoju. He is a staunch supporter of Bola Tinubu and you can easily tell this from his brown envelop bias analysis. Infact the entire crew of Journalist Hangout are Yoruba and pro Tinubu. You can't get unbias analysis from them.
How is your watching the program important to the program itself or other important viewers, abeg stop flattering yourself. If BKO opinion or view on certain issues suits u, then it's eldorado but when you don't agree or feel it's out of place then you scream blue murder. The guy has always been object in his political analysis to his best of knowledge and has done a very good job overtime, so stop berating him because he did his job.
Aleister: APC always desperate! Even given the fact that they control 31 out of 36 states, they’re still restless because they know that money can’t buy the will of the people this time around.
Just like APChit lost in Osun state, so will Tinubu loses his reelection come 2027.
Don't you read good, the hoodlum came because of davido. Stop politicizing every issue, the people's voice will be heard clear by the next presidential election.
zoedew: How can a man represent to others he lives for a given cause and suddenly abandon that cause!😳. That is what Biased Ologunde a.k.a. Lagbaja has done!! It raises the question about how genuine his purported conviction of purpose was in the first place. Put in simple terms a fandom of Lagbaja like I am can't help thinking that he used that representation to gather money so he can japa to America! I concede that I may but I just could not help thinking that way! Tell me, who in Manhattan have their souls so serenaded with lagbaja's music like folks in Nigeria when he was live at Motherland! He must be told in no uncertain terms that I would feel like am wasting away my life in Manhattan real-time if I were in his shoes! One hopes he will return to Nigeria someday to come and fulfil purpose to the core!

MY PERSONAL TRIBUTE
General IBB, as someone from Abuja, I have a special appreciation for the transformation of this city during your era. The roads, districts, government institutions and national infrastructure remind us of the enormous ambition behind the Abuja project.
I do not believe we should erase the controversies of your administration. Neither should we allow those controversies to erase its achievements.
History must remember both the successes and the mistakes.
What I admire most about your leadership was your boldness, strategic thinking, ability to assemble professionals and technocrats, and willingness to pursue ambitious national projects.
At 85, you remain a living chapter of Nigeria's history.
HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY, GENERAL IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA, GCFR! 🇳🇬🎉
May Almighty Allah grant you good health, peace, strength and many more years.
Your story is part of Nigeria's story. Your era is part of our history. Your achievements deserve to be remembered.
With deep respect and admiration,
Comrade Ibrahim Aliyu Comradeibrahimaliyu@gmail.com Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬
The maradona himself, mamman vatsa, June 12 election among lots of atrocities comes to mind when I remember baba himself. Eni aye kan, ko se re.
Orlandoo: At least those people you mentioned abroad were doing one or two things that raised them the little funds they used to venture into politics. What was Wike or Fareke doing before becoming a politician?
My interest is not to advocate for anyone, the point is we have career politicians even abroad who spent all their adult life in politics.
Beautifulday: It has never been a career except in Africa that is why politicians all over the world resign if the fall short of expectations except in Africa.
I agree our politicians or polithiefcian here don't resign because of greed and corruption but then we still have career politicians even abroad, example are Tony Blair, joe Biden, Gordon brown, Nancy pelosi among many others.
Beautifulday: When did politics became a career? Since you can't say it. Davido has said it to his face.
He should go and get a job or start a business
Politics has always been a career any where in the world but open for anyone to go into. Why will you have political scientist and career diplomat if politics is not a career.
That's a ritual killing. When the fear of God is completely gone, this is the wickedness you see. There is nothing like money ritual, it's just Satan's gimmick to win more soul to his kingdom and he's doing a good job especially with this overzealous teenagers who wants to make money by all means and that doesn't exclude grown up who are still delusional. Tough times don't last but tough people do. May her killing be arrested and make to pay for their insanity.
Iexclusivenews: Singer Davido fires back at Lagos lawmaker after Osun election exchange, urging him to “get a job.”
(iexclusivenews)—Afrobeats star Davido has responded to House of Representatives member James Faleke with a sharp message.
“POLITICS is NOT A CAREER. Get a JOB!!!” he posted on X.
The reply continues their public exchange over the Osun State governorship election.
Faleke had earlier denied Davido’s accusation that he pressured the Independent National Electoral Commission to alter results.
In his response, the Ikeja lawmaker said he only went to Osun to support the APC candidate and told Davido to “face your music while we face our politics.”
Davido quoted that post and delivered the new jab on Sunday. The message quickly gained thousands of likes and shares.
@Kenny0one-OBO please cook them. Àwón àgbàyà lo
@iamAbiodunAA-I agree with you on this one. Politics isn’t a career.
@gsbabatunde—Who told You Politics is not a CAREER
Is this really coming from You that your Lineage cannot do without Politics
This guy is such a child, I use to really like him until his tantrum throwing episode. Faleke is old enough to be his uncle if not older, so why the back and forth like a child who just lost his biscuit.
This is one one of the reason terrorism won't be abated in Nigeria for a long time. These are the animals that gives Islam a bad name. Saudi Arabia today is an ally of the united State, a predominantly Christian country and they enjoy fruitful relationship despite the fact that the former is a core Muslim country. Everyone is moving beyond religion but those northern extremist will find a way to stagnant the lives of their blind supporters.
“For me, I would rather have a Muslim president and eat herbs or leaves than have a Christian (Infidel) president and enjoy eating chicken everyday.”
At this point, I am honestly speechless.
Should leadership be judged by religion or by whether people can eat, live safely and… pic.twitter.com/3ek7o1ea5H
HeadBoy9: Such immediate betrayal. Nigerians made a statement by rejecting the bad government and hardship of the APC government yet Adeleke wants us back in it.
Simply because Tinubu is a Yoruba man and more so from his state.
All these sentiments will be the death of us. Vested interest mofos.
You wouldn't get the logic, and that's because of the shallowness you and your like has tucked in your brain. Am sure you're one of the many obi's lap dog thinking berating Yoruba will help your cause in 2027. Adeleke has a right to align with anyone, and so are you but when you stoop low to condemn political preference of a sitting governor who has just won a reelection in his state because of his tribe or your suppose believe of tribalism, then go and get mentally checked. Am Yoruba and i won't vote Tinubu because I don't agree with his economic decisions but that doesn't mean I will condemn or insult others who do for whatever reason.
2016v2017: Hey, you're one of the typical uncivilized in Nigerian and one of the reasons, Nigeria is not moving forward. See your assumptions, you've proving that you're a tribalists. You lack sense of reasoning. I am not a politician,I don't like supporting politicians, neither am I OBIDIENT member .I am patriotic Nigerian. But, one thing is sure,with free and fair election ,PO will win your Messaih Tpain hands down.
You're extremely nut for that utter nonsense you replied me with. You are a complete and unrepentant ethnic bigot and your lack of moral upstanding and class stinks to high heavens. A person with good IQ won't blankly make such gibberish you uttered ab initio just because another party won aside APC in Osun. The beauty of democracy is giving opportunity to people to make a choice of their leadership and every right thinking being will give kudos to the people of Osun for a peaceful election rather than casting aspersion on other Yoruba state because you're against a party ruling there. Once again you're an ethnic bigot and a chronic obidient whose dream of seeing your principal rule this country will never happen because of some of you data boys who thinks throwing out insults will help his case come next year.
The new propaganda is that Tinubu secretly supported Gov. Adeleke, and now Adeleke will go and thank Tinubu. Bla bla bla.
Yes, Adeleke may go and thank Tinubu. That’s called being magnanimous in victory.
Even the winner of the 2027 presidential election (hopefully Peter Obi) will visit Tinubu, thank him, and get a tour of Aso Rock. 😂
Lesson To Learn: Tinubu is beatable. They thrive on propaganda, making you feel the election is won and no need coming out to vote.
Match them energy to energy. Mobilize and stand your ground, defend your votes. Follow the process all the way to the LG collation centers and scrutinize every result.
Osun people showed the perfect template. Didn’t we see threats and boasts from APC everywhere? What happened when Osun people stood their ground? They were outnumbered.
That’s what it takes to fight for democracy, else it will be destroyed right before your eyes.
Am very sure you're one of the obi data boys who vote from their phone.
2016v2017: Osun State is the only civilized State in Yoruba land. There's no doubt about this statement. No controversy that Osun State is the only civilized and educated Yoruba State in Yoruba land. You don't need to counter this,the prof is overwhelming . Yesterday's governorship election has proved it beyond reasonable doubt. With all Federal Government might, over 15k Police, corrupt Governors, Sin-nators, all Security agents, Federal touts/ thugs , billions of Naira and Dollars in cash,intimidations and gun shoots everywhere, Governor Adeleke ,Davido and Osun people stood on ground unmoved and unshakable , denied themselves sleep, because,they don't want the enemies of the State to succeed in their evil plots . Osun people collected money from APC, but, voted for Accord Party, Government Adeleke. What an amazing people? KUDOS to Davido and all Osun State people. Other States nation wide Should go to Osun State to learn how defend their votes. Once again, KUDOS to Davido and Osun people.
When some of you type whatever nonsense you have at mind, I wonder if you really think deeply before doing it. So just because accord party won at Osun state now, automatically that means that's the most civilize state among the Yorubas'. if Tinubu has used the federal might, we will be talking about something else by now. I don't know your state but am sure you're one of the obidient data boys who will utter gibberish just to sell him to Nigerians. The reason why he will never be president of this country is because people like you feel throwing insults around will help his case come 2027. We will vote and protect our vote come 2027, and it won't be you celebrating. Am not a fan of Tinubu's economy policies, Infact I have never been his fan right from his governorship here in Lagos but load of rubbish you type there is evidence that life will be worst under obi.
bolaayenimo: I saw a video where this pastor Tibetan said God revealed to him that Osun is gone from Adeleke’s hands. He said APC will win the state
We have countless fake prophets and pastors in this country, and many more will come because of the role religion as played in the sensibility of common man.
jesusjnr2020: The late Iman is yet another proof that not all professing muslims were evil and cold-blooded as many often think.
Some really have passion to do what is right, but are walking in ignorance as Saul in the Bible, therefore using it the wrong way.
Hence all they need is to also come to knowledge of the Truth, and they'd begin to channel that same passion the right way, using it to draw lost souls to Christ.
God bless.
I have articulated the exact point you're making here overtime but some views on NL is totally disheartening. Man wouldn't do for God what the supreme being will do for himself. Without religion tolerance we will only he heading in circles.
Evaress: Thank God the amount was not too high. The guy was charging me 5k to get me added to an online job platform, i negotiated and he later accepted 2k. As if i knEw he will block me thats why i brought it down to 2k. I tried it and lo and behold he blocked me and ran off. Later we blame our leaders for the downfall in this country. I will post his name. All i wanted was just a remote job to do to earn a living. God knows i tried. Who knows how many he has scammed on this site..
Una see why dem they burn and beat criminals with no mercy when they get caught and we start to feel pity for them . you won't know how it hurts till it happens to you. i will message the admin in that site
The money might be small but it pains me so much the audacity this thief has to be scamming people here who only want to work.
If i no finish this guy eh just know say dem no born me well. I'm so annoyed. Anyone who has his real pic drop it, i dey carry him name and pic go baba for shrine.
The guy has crossed his final line.

2026 Osun Governorship Election Results - Live Updates (See Photos)
What do you mean thank his nephew, davido. The people of Osun have spoken through there votes and choose to stick with the devil they know. Am not down playing his influence, but credit goes to the people first before any individual.
He is not popular anywhere , he failed in Lagos to Peter Obi in 2023 and failed to adeleke even as a president
Tinubu is not popular, he has zero influence . Na money dey help am
If the next presidential election is allowed to go on smoothly without the meddlesome meddlers, then Tinubu has no business been president for another 4 years. His performance is not just woeful but absolutely inimical to the living standard of Nigerian.
LagosOrigin: With the results of the governorship election being released so far and nearing about 90% uploaded, I congratulate governor ademola adeleke of the accord party on his election victory as the governor of Osun state for another 4yrs .
He defeated Tinubu and oyetola in 2023, he has defeated them again with ambo as the flag bearer of the APC.
I want to ask again, where exactly is tinubu strong hold ?
Oga, abeg wait till INEC announces the winner, stop counting your chicken.
FSBoperator: President Donald Trump said Friday that he could soon declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States,” an extraordinary remark as he touted U.S. military control of the critical waterway during the war with Iran.
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during remarks at the David S. Mack Center for Training and Intelligence in Nassau County, New York.
The president also said he has used the military “a little bit more than I wanted to” but argued pressure on Tehran is necessary to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
To achieve this Trump needs an adjourning land mass to claim a water way that is thousands of miles from the US.
According to international maritime law concerning territorial waters, claims to a water body rest largely on an adjacent land territory to the contested water body.
Is Trump going to annex Oman and Iranian territories bordering the narrow waterways ?
While annexing Qatar is every possible , Trump will need to annex the Iranian coastal lands opposite to that of Oman to be able to claim full US control of the straits.
Easier said than done.
I have followed united state politics for a while now and sincerely I have never seen any president so non presidential as Donald Trump.
A woman identified in a viral video as “Arugba” has allegedly threatened voters in Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, warning those who do not support the All Progressives Congress against coming out to vote.
The video, which circulated widely on social media, showed the woman alongside several others making remarks that appeared aimed at intimidating voters before the August 15 election.
In the footage, she allegedly threatened physical harm against people who cast their ballots for parties other than the APC.
“We will cut the finger you used to vote [for] any party except APC. That finger won’t follow you go back home that day,” she was heard saying.
The woman further warned residents who did not intend to vote for the APC to stay away from polling centres.
