I am trying to reply you, but the conversation has moved past what we were talking about.

I no know where to begin

The conversation was about the protest and how to forge ahead.

I am surprised to see Heroin and 1993

Many understand that Obi is an ineffective leader, but only few mustered courage to shell it out, no matter whose ox is gored.

Your eyes have finally opened. Next is Obainojazz.

I'm just wondering nau.
A senator in Nigeria has no perks.
I wonder when we first officially found out about senator earnings in this country

A40:
What will protest achieve? Not like anyone will resign. They're legally backed to run for 3 more years. That window has passed

Obi and anyone of Igbo stock will be very stupid to join or lead any protest. Nigerians must pay the full stupidity tax of voting a Feudalism merchant like Tinubu. Let the Northerners protest by themselves if they are so badly affected

Next elections people will hopefully be militant about ensuring the Tinubu is bundled out and after sufficient suffering you will chase with cutlass anyone who markets a candidate to you solely based on tribe and religion and not their actual plans

Eziokwu bu ndu!

As much as Akpabio sounded insensitive with his comment, he is right.

All they have to do is go and sleep and eat. After August 15, they resume from where they stopped.

The last best time to end bad governance was 2023, and Insha allah, O ti lo.

The next best time is 2027, and i know my people well well.

Nigeria is gone!

I never said that.

What I asked you is what perks senators were getting in 3rd republic that would lead Tinubu to accept being thrown into jail for 9 months to try and get back.

Let me help you with timeline.

Senators were sworn in December 92 as part of a transitional government headed by IBB. IBB only allowed Legislative elections to hold so that he could legitimise himself as a civilian president. The senators could only compete under 1 of two parties, both of which were formed by IBB

Senators would draft laws that they could not pass, the bills had to be approved first by a military council, and after that IBB.

IBB finally allowed presidential election on June 12 1993 after having postponed elections like 3 or 4 times. In the same June 93 IBB annulled the elections.

2 months later IBB dissolved the government, announced ING by decree proclamation and unilaterally appointed Shonekan as President and Abacha as CODS.

That's why I keep asking what perks the 3rd republic senate enjoyed that Tinubu would endure prison for 9 months and the threat of execution to enjoy?

Olagunsoye Oyinlola was the first military governornor of Lagos state under Abacha - I remember this from Primary school tables - and a life long political enemy of Tinubu to this day. Why on earth, would Tinubu be angling for a commissioner post under him?

Tinubu had a lot more to lose than gain in that era. He was a wealthy man on the street level and didn't need to risk his life for the uncertainty of that political environment. The 90s weren't like today where success in politics was a sure banker.

We're talking about an era where Abacha jailed the election winner in Abiola, jailed his senior colleague and former head of state OBJ, jailed his own number 2 man in the country Oladipo Diya, and had even his own former oga IBB running in fear.

We're talking if an era where Abacha allowed only 5 political parties ro exist, and he was the presidential candidate for all 5.

What possible perks could Tinubu have enjoyed in 6 months of a quasi democratic regime that would convince him to risk his life and freedom to reclaim?

Trump went to a convention of Black journalists and took their questions. Very brave of him

PDPGuy:


Speaking of IBB, rumors were making the rounds that Abacha was killed because he planned to arrest IBB before transmuting to a civilian president in October 1998.

I wouldn’t be surprised if IBB actually enlisted the help of foreign intelligence services to kpai Abacha, because as you said, if Abacha had no issue with jailing OBJ, Yar’Adua, Diya, Abiola etc, it would have been foolhardy for IBB to think that he was immune from Abacha’s fangs

Tinubu continues to fail as president...he should find a solution to the IPOB menace.

donjazzet:


Make no mistake, Obi was highly effective as a governor. His results and achievements proves that especially in the field of education and rural infrastructure. However, his actions since after the elections depict someone not fully ready for the revolutionary role the obidients thrusts him into and entrusted into his care.

raumdeuter:


Direct strike lmao. Why Israel? We dont know who killed Haniyeh. He probably died of overfeeding
Maybe na Arsenal fan and disappointment of being trophyless kill am

So, why did you wish the same Peter Obi a terrible death in a plane crash while he had spent over 7 years as Anambra Governor?
