Believe it or not, Fascist PMB, prominent Islamic leaders, top government/military functionaries, Miyetti Allah leaders et al are directly enabling, empowering and financing fulani herdsmen terrorists & their cousins Boko Haram terrorists, in order to violently Islamize Nigeria.

They prefer complaining on social media after spending months on bbnaija than wakingbup from their slumber. Very lazy, confuse and unprepared youths...

He is right in some areas, then wrong again. Power can be given to the youths by accepting them first into VP positions, Deputy Governors, then into appointed offices like ministerial positions and a whole lot of other positions. So you lie big time Mr VP

Osinbajo proved himself as the Attorney General of Lagos State.

He went toe-to-toe with the Obasanjo administration on legal tussles and came out victorious.

These same unserious youths that say such trash like...... "Naira Marley for president" , "Falz and Aisha Yesufu for president", "Peruzzi for I.G of police"..... and they want to be hand picked into positions of power??

Clowns.

The punishment for not engaging in politics is that men you consider of lower quality rule over you - Socrates

You can complain from now till tomorrow, but just know that complaining will not let an oppressor free you. You must fight for your freedom. You must take your future and destiny into your own hands.

Join a party or form a party. Enough with all this idle talk on social media

It's obvious you don't fully understand what the phrase means.

Osinbajo was given the Vice Presidential Candidacy of APC on a platter.

He did not lobby for it nor did he even work for it. He did not have to give anybody money nor did he have to fight off other contenders.

Then after this only thing that Osinbajo did to become VP was to attend rallies organised without his money nor his political capital.

He couldn't spend any political capital cos he had none. He had never served as a local govt chairman, Senator, House of reps, deputy governor or governor.

The political capital spent to win the election was expended by Tinubu and Buhari

So YES. He shouldn't spout nonsense like this when he got to Aso Rock without any effort on his part but truthfully all he has done in 6 yrs is give empty speeches and fire just one of Buhari's numerous useless appointees.

So this is just another of his empty speeches

The VP is a better motivational speaker than his current position

Can this man just tell us the financial, spiritual, legal, physical and of course hooliganism implications of running for a position in Nigeria.

The media has already streamlined the top position to the two powerhouses, which makes it even much more difficult.

Instead of him and his oga to ensure fairness, and justice, he's here doing the work of a motivational speaker.

Winning elective positions in Nigeria would cost not less than #1billion

Where and how do we expect the youths to get this sort of funding

Alaye osinbajo talk anoda thing

So, you expect him to come out and tell you that you shouldn't make any effort, because you would get a political post on a platter just as he did? How can you reason this way? Osinbajo knew that things don't work that way. He knew his own case was a peculiar one. It won't happen like that to everybody.

I can't even say that he got it on a platter. He got involved. However, his professionalism, loyalty, honesty and commitment to his duty were catalysts for him. He moved at a faster rate than he himself expected. But first, he got involved.

never contested any post. He was appointed to these posts. There is a wide margin between contesting and being picked. So yes he got these political offices on a platter.

Where is the lie? Protest won't yield any serious result, youths should be bold enough, be united and join politics, that is where they can create their own change in the reality. The VP is spot on

Would you watch any game if you feel its not a fair game. Ordinary bb9ja some people lost interest when they wanted to do ojoro on Pere. Imagine if white money didn't win and they say the winner is Angel. That's how Nigerian politics is.. Its not fair and its not possible to win by merit. It is impossible to get power back from the cabal without joining them. If you join them, you become a slave to them (Desmond Elliot). Buhari didn't join them but he took advantage of a divided cabal, religion, populated tribe, and threatened everybody with war. It was out fear, the sitting president handed over power to him if not, he wouldn't have gotten it still. Right now, the power is in his hands and he will only give to his loyalists.

A country set up like this will not progress and nothing can be gotten by merit. I agree with you protest won't yield anything, forming political party won't too, joining them won't help the situation either. The only solution is to press the reset button. We need to start afresh but unfortunately, it won't come easy.

My brother it's part of it, u mustn't contest to get position, just try and play around Politics, go to ward meeting, contribute ideas, follow good leaders in the party, the leaders will b the one to project u, infact sponsor u self.
Wen people say no Godfather, that is hypocrisy, can u do without God fatherism? No. Check out many of those who Tinubu pick as Governor's and commissioners, they were guys who played along, move with him not those who sat at home criticising.

From Fashola, Sanwo, Ambode and co have no Political Base, u and I know Lagos Governor's are handpick(forget the Election) and that's because they were around the sphere of politics.

So one sitting jeje at home behind keyboard gets it on plater.
