I just laugh at anyone who genuinely believes in any Nigerian politician and even go all the way in fighting on their behalf. They are all the same. They're all in cahoot |
The Donald Trump of Nigeria. lmao |
TooMuchStuff:Does Kwara look like a Christian dominated state? |
The VAT from Lagos figures alone is over half a billion Kwara only has one cinema, yet it generated this amount. Quite impressive. |
The issue is Kwara North is not a monolithic zone. There are about four to five very different major ethnicities in the zone. And they don't even necessarily vote the same way |
Smart man. He reads the writing on the wall. He can obviously see how his opponent, Abdel Sayed is gaining momentum despite his stance against AIPAC. I still don't know why establishment Democrats and Republicans are afraid to stand up against these Israeli lobbyists, when they can clearly see that the majority of people are tired of the Israelis bullshit |
Whatever this guy is sniffing is doing serious damage to his remaining brain cells. Imagine a grown man confidently say shits like this |
People are saying if Adeleke wins, it is proof that the APC is weak in the SW despite having federal control. But have you considered whether Tinubu's gameplan is to let Adeleke win after all? What if all this APC's "seriousness" is just disguise to trick everyone into thinking that APC feels threatened so that everyone will lose guard? It's not beyond Tinubu. He's a strategist. The plan may be to deceive people into thinking APC is seriously contesting the election. Meanwhile, they don't really care about Osun like that. In fact, it may be that they deliberately and secretly plan to lose to Adeleke. After all, it's just one state. Take a look at Lagos in the last election. It will allow them to control the narrative that the APC is in "trouble". That smokescreen gives APC the leeway to plot bigger schemes that will win them the election |
Skydivine:I agree with you. It’s not his family’s property, and I’m not saying his wife or child is somehow more qualified to rule the country. My point is simply that the devil you know is sometimes better than the angel you don’t know. Look around the world. When a leader who has been in power for decades is suddenly toppled, it usually creates a power vacuum. Then you begin to have factions, the military, opposition groups and God knows who else fighting to fill it. On top of that, there’s even no guarantee that whoever eventually emerges will be any better. They almost always worse. So if the choice is between a predictable transition to someone already within the existing system and a complete scramble for power, the former is safer at least initially. And that's actually where the family comes in. If his wife or child takes over, you already know roughly what you're getting. They have an interest in preserving the existing order, rather than completely dismantling it and starting another power struggle. Once you have that stable transition, it will be easier to eventually replace them without the whole country collapsing. In a situation like this, everyone talks about how to remove him. But no one talks about what happens after you remove him. No one talks about how to avoid the chaos that can come with the sudden collapse of the regime |
If he wants to create a dynasty, he needs to create a smooth succession plan now for his wife, Chantel, or child to take over after he passes. It's important, just to avoid the kind of Robert and Grace Mugabe situation that happened in Zimbabwe. These heads of state surely must know that they can't stay in power forever. They either die in, step away from or are removed from office. One would wonder why in the world they don't prepare adequately for that eventuality. The problem with toppling long serving heads of state like this is that, most of the time, the person coming to replace them is the same or even worse. So it may slightly safer to keep members of his family in power, at least for a while. |
A professor there in the US is not a rank as we know it here in Nigeria. They don't use the term"lecturer", instead they use "professor ". |
What is wrong with men these days? How would you allow a woman set terms for you? Anyway, you should set the same conditions for her. If she accepts it, only then, should you accept hers. It's should be mutual, not this one sided crap |
He is meant to resign his seat all together. The condition prescribed by the constitution for a lawmaker who defects to retain his seat is that there must have been a serious division in his former party such to the extent that its national structure is not functional |
The constitution does not restrict eligibility to run for a legislative seat to only indigenes of that district/constituency. So he's qualified to run |
Your marital affairs is nobody's business, ideally. Only Nigerians with nothing to do, keep interfering |
Ehh This guy is young oo. That's a plus. On another, make Tinubu well-done oo. Keep appointing your Yoruba kinsmen. Oloyede, replaced with another Yoruba man. |
Never knew condoms were pharmaceutical products This report is all too comical. The potential fallout envisaged are a stretch |
Since when do ex convicts become eligible to contest for political office? |
naptu2:I saw an interview he did. He is asked a question and he begins his response by saying "when I win..." It's not surprising he's been choosing by consensus. He legit knows he'd win |
franchasofficia:America does all this at a cost. You think to undertake all these endeavours because they genuinely have "charitable" inclinations? From their perspective, it's all an investment establishing an exploitative arrangement in their favour. |
saintkel:This is just one allegation of forgery. The relevant question everyone should ask is, how much more of this occured during the Buhari years? It's even a weak arguement for even Emefiele to say his signature was forged because naturally, it's impossible for that amount of money to have been released from the CBN without him or the president or SGF to not have as much as an inkling. I suspect the swap of financial malfeasance was deep. |
This is the first time I'm learning the FG pays foreign election observers. Sure, that was the excuse they used to facilitate the release of the said funds and it was successful, which means it's not a novel practice |
dre11:Unfortunately, despite all this, he (and APC in general ) would likely win the elections comfortably. Someone like Tinubu, for instance, already won re-election comfortably on May 29, 2023. He has laid the perfect groundworks to secure his return and the electoral successes of most the APC political candidates . To knock him out, something extraordinarily strategic has to be done |
This one has seen the writing on the wall. The FCT election is just a trailer for the general elections |
How is this news, for goodness sake? What next will you make a "news story" out of? Dino eats two wraps of fufu? Or that Dangote wears gstrings? |
Tinubu's effort to ensure fiscal autonomy for LGs would go down in history as one of the best things that defined his administration. However, under what law or constitutional provision would Tinubu issue an executive order compelling state governors to make direct remittance of LGs? You don't issue executive orders without an enabling law empowering same. You see, it's all talk right now. The only way out is constitutional amendment. The joint account created under S162(5) needs to be deleted. The Supreme Court judgement contained mere declarations. What that means is, where Governors violate the arrangement declared by the Supreme Court, LGs can go to court and they'd get judgement in their favour. This is one of two succour they have. It is why all these governors are buying their silence and acquiescence by gifting them official vehicles. We'd give you goody goodies and in exchange don't go to court after we hijack your funds. The second relief is more straightforward. Part of the declarations the Supreme Court made was that the FG may bypass the joint account and remit directly to LGs where there is persistent hijacking by the state governments. Tinubu doesn't need executive order. He can go this route and put an end to this sabotage |
Nigeriakan:A congressman is the equivalent of a member of a House of Representatives here. Those people no rate us at all But it shouldn't be surprising. We have an unserious federal government so they'd equally regard us as lightweights |
Dogalmighty17:Trump couldn't lift a finger no matter what happens. Even the said invasion of Venezuela is all talk. There's no recognized international law that backs the action of all of Trump's threats. Come to think of it, Trump rode on the crest of an ISOLATIONIST FOREIGN POLICY to win the White House both times. What he's threatening runs directly contrary to what he basically has been advocating for. Even his supporters have begun to alienate themselves due to all this persistent talk about invading a foreign country |
Iamzik:Neither of them were generally strong candidates. Hilary was even much of a tougher cookie than Kamala, who was a lightweight. I bet even Trump acknowledges Hilary was a much more credible opponent than Kamala. Kamala was running against Donald freaking TRUMP. At that point (ie 2024), the dude was already immune to the constant regular streams of attacks that had been thrown him since 2015 when he came into the political arena. Most people were willing to hold their nose and vote for Trump because Kamala wasn't presenting herself to be a significantly better alternative. For instance, the way she speaks in word salads was a constant point of attack against her. Ironically, Trump also has that weird rambling trait, where he just goes off topic and spew so many horseshit. Hardly would you find any of Trump's rallies where he gives strictly policy speeches. But guess what? Most people didn't apply the same intensity in their criticism because they've been seeing that 'brand' for over a decade. They were not surprised. It was fatal misfiring for Democrats to center their attacks on the same set of scaremongering, rage baiting talking points, in addition to the fact that their nominee was just meh. You don't run a nominee of that quality against a Donald Trump |
God1000:No state in the US has elected a black female governor |
DyshApp:Horseshit. In my experience, and I'm sure in the experiences of most men, being nice to women only begets misunderstanding. Most regard your niceness as an attempt to sleep with them |
