Approachable to who? Africans? If you are talking about Africans in India, then you are mistaken.

It is sad that Indian men rate their women as next to nothing. No wonder that against standard cultural practices, the women pay the dowries on their men.

So many get away with it in India. Hopefully someday, they can make either death or public castration the penalty for this evil and violent act.

So, You mean you all are happy Nigeria did not win any medal, instead of not being happy you start attacking Peter Obi for being disappointed...you all are the real enemies of Nigeria.

maestroferddi:
Awon chemical solution..

In your mind now you are making sense by proffering some silly and impractical fantasies you are calling solution...

Write all the baloney that you know, if Nigeria do not fight corruption and tribalism, she will remain doomed for mediocrity...

Everybody can give guidelines but how many people are keen to demonstrate the discipline and objectivity requisite for national renaissance?

You elect demons to rule over you and then start praying for miracles....

unmask:
I believe you have said it all. Immediately I saw all the petitions that Obi and Atiku brought out, I knew for a fact that they lost the numbers game. Even if we excuse LP that they probably didn't have agents everywhere, PDP should be able to boast of agents at all polling units. Which made me quickly conclude that for PDP to go the route of disqualification rather than result challenge, they did indeed lose the numbers.

Election was lost when PDP split up. A united PDP would have won the election given the apathy people felt for the Buhari regime.

emkz:

I am willing to deposit two hundred thousand naira in your account today if you can explain, with figures, evidence and proof, how presidential election was stolen via INEC's Mahmood Yakubu. Set your delusions aside and give us hard facts.

It is quite strange that someone's election was stolen and he was displaced into 3rd place.

Atiku won the highest number of states in the northwest, while Tinubu won the total number of votes there. Tinubu defeated Atiku by 322,695 votes in the northwest, with a margin of 385,625 votes from Kano alone. This means Kano votes alone contributed to liquidating Atiku's lead in the northwest states and handed Tinubu the decisive victory in the northwest. In the northcentral, Tinubu defeated his closest rival, Peter Obi, by 345,416 votes and trounced Atiku by 598,906 votes. In the northeast, Atiku defeated Tinubu by 552,388 votes. So beyond your delusions, how did Atiku win the entire north?

By removing petrol subsidy and floating the naira, Tinubu ruined the businesses of those who depended on the fraudulent fx market and false subsidy claims with one blow. In case you are not aware, tankers loaded with petrol left Nigeria through northern borders for years. Some of these smuggled petrol had subsidies paid but were sold in neighbouring countries. Or why did Niger and Cameroon complain when subsidy was removed? You may not know, but when some tracker were to be placed on tankers to know where they are at a particular time after loading in Lagos, a specific set of people opposed it. Incase you also do not know, some of the elites depend on smuggling for survival.

Tinubu crushed that.

Of course, they'd fight him.

emkz:


He set agenda for himself and simply executes. Wike did the same. Many ministers cannot set any agenda which explains why they are confused. Bosun Tijani needs to set milestones for himself and focus. Same as the guy in mines, steel, blue economy, creative economy and so on. It is a way to measure oneself and let people keep track.

For mines, we are yet to see his policy direction beyond going to look for investors and withdrawing licenses. This is how to fail. Call subject matter experts and develop a road map for the sector. Once people see you know where you are going, local businessmen will invest in the sector and embassies will tell their countries that opportunities abound in Nigeria.

If Tunji Ojo comes up with a plan to ask for investors to come and build and run prisons for example, they'd come.

Festus Keyamo too needs to get his acts together. Infact, all ministers should sit up. You don't have to know everything. You have to be knowledgeable enough to know that you don't know anything. Study the party manifesto, gather subject matter experts and organize a one-week agenda setting retreat with them. Once you have a clear policy direction, execution is not difficult. Look at Wike, wanting to carry out a staff audit in FCT. That is a plan to cut costs. For Bosun Tijani, energize NIPOST by engaging local people to purchase vehicles that should be doing haulage across the country. Just collect taxes. We have the market.

Dear minister, what is your plan?

Davidoff2000:


To the wrong people who Atiku believed in- you didn't add High Chief Dopesi? His DDG-Technical?
He is the reason PDP couldn't prove their votes at the supreme court- he collected money for a non existent situation Room.

Kukutente23:

You and your glaring hypocrisy sha

You must have been under a rock when Buhari said Muslims should vote only Muslims.

You must have been an Eskimo when Amaechi and Osinbajo threatened to form a parallel govt.

You must have turned blind in the past few days when Tinubu's tweets urging the police to not go against protesters but join them against a sitting government resurfaced.

It's this jaundiced and malignant posturing that usually gives you away as one not to be taken seriously but used as a poster boy for everything that's wrong and broken with our politics.

Anyways, Paul Ibe is an employee of Atiku just as Bayo Onanuga is Tinubu's employee.

With the many gaffes of Bayo before and after Tinubu took office, not least his tribal slurs and fake news which he's had to delete not a few, I've not seen you call on Tinubu to do away with him.

Instead, you glorify him by repeating and enlarging his mostly offpoint posts.

If Atiku is satisfied with Ibe's services, I wonder why you're after throwing the man out of a job.

Could it be that you long after it? That's the best I can think of because it will be a deep travesty if you want him out of his job simply because of the sound of his name.

There's no way any sane individual will call for the sacking of Paul Ibe while adoring Onanuga..... except if such mind is already bought and polluted with filthy lucre of course.

That will make better sense

discusant:


You are confronting your chi - God - to a wrestling match.

You have alienated the Obidients and Peter Obi after you stole presidential election via INEC's Mahmood Yakubu. The level of protests in the north against APC is an indication that north did not vote APC during the presidential election.

You have alienated Igbos through your various actions and inaction.

You are now alienating Atiku Abubakar with your falsehood. Abubakar has the north at his finger tips. You brought your Igbophobia to weigh in on Atiku against his principal media person.

Before long, you will be left alone.

professorPABX:


Atiku is talking like an illiterate. Is this the type of person that wants to rule Nigeria?

The Military has constitutional duties in Peace time, during crisis and during external aggression.

Protest is different from riots. During riots, if the Military is invited by Police, the Military will use Force on dissidents and rioters.

I understood he felt cheated. He started his Presidential ambition since 1992. At the Jos Convention of SDP, in a keenly contested Primary election, there was no clear winner at the first primary because ABIOLA won with a margin less than 400 to defeat Kingibe. He stepped down for MKO ABIOLA. As a very young man, I heard it during discussion. When I grew up, I observed despite his stepping down, the election between Kingibe and ABIOLA showed that his delegates were shared by both ABIOLA and Kingibe.

People are talking about Emilokan, the fact remains that Atiku believed by political seniority, he is senior to Tinubu and that his presidency is given to Tinubu.

ATIKU should understand that Paul Ibe, his PA is not working for him and he is not working with him. He is working for Peter OBI.

As an elder statesman, he should think deep before making any public statement.

emkz:
Good idea.

It is his constitutional right.

Atiku has taken the record for the greatest number of presidential runs.

In 2023, he had the best shot in his life for the position. He had to be defeated to realize that division can be calamitous.

Unlike the other one, Atiku knew he lost. Because he knew this, he went to Chicago State University to prove an unfounded allegation that Tinubu never graduated from there. When he realized Tinubu graduated, he tried to prove Tinubu forged a certificate. When he realized that the Registrar of the University said they don't handle replacement certificate, Atiku took his deposition and brought it to the Supreme Court.

No US court stamped it, no US agency notarized it, no US Embassy authenticated it.
Atiku knew his deposition was inadmissible.

If he believed he won, why didn't he present his polling unit agents results from the field? If he believed the election wasn't free and fair, why didn't he publish cases of irregularities?

Atiku and the other one tried to plunge Nigeria into a constitutional crisis because they lost. They are not leadership materials. However, they stand a chance if Tinubu fails.

As for Atiku, if you ever want to run again, you must avoid the following persons:

1. Dino Melaye: this is the guy you allowed to lead your campaign. He is not mature for such responsibilities.

2. Phrank Shaibu: This one spent time attacking Tinubu instead of convincing voters about your programmes. He also defended the failure of your media team to do the proper work. He misadvised you to grant two press conferences that did not cover you in glory.

3. Daniel Bwala: This one has visited the person who defeated you more than three times in 5 months. He seems to already avoid you. Either he was a mole in your campaign or never believed in you.

4. Don Pedro Obaseki: He was your head of research and ought to have been aware and properly advised you that the Chicago route was a calamity for you. The premise that Tinubu never graduated was wrong. When you realized he graduated, you shifted to certificate forgery, which ended up being punctured. He failed to guide you properly.

5. Paul Ibe: This one only became visible after you lost.

6. David Hundeyin: This one was discredited over matters of sexism and fraud by Oxford University. He released stories on Tinubu that were based on speculations and sold them to you. He scammed you.

7. Dele Momodu: Wike referred to him as a professional buttlicker.

8. Timi Frank: In 2022, this one lied that Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago. He claimed EFCC and FBI had a letter stating so. No one saw the letter and no one knew if he was high when he said this.

9. Nduka Obaigbena: This one could not come out openly to use his media houses to endorse you.

Others are: Peter Obi (he cost you the election) and Ifeanyi Okowa (he was not as enthusiastic as you in your desperation post-election).

I cannot add Reno Omokri, because you never gave him a role in your campaign. I suspect he tweeted the condemnation of the lynching of Deborah Samuel Yakubu on your behalf on Twitter. You deleted the tweet and pushed him away.

Reno believed in you more than the others who scammed you of your money.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR KEEPS DIMINISHING OWN STATUS

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar this evening tweeted the absurd: he warned security agencies against using lethal force against looters and arsonists who masqueraded as protesters. As a statesman, his warning ought to be to the looting mob in Kaduna,Kano, Plateau, Jigawa states, who hijacked what was advertised by organizers as a peaceful protest.

Our security forces have remained professional, even-handed, and observed every restraint in the face of extreme provocation by the rioters. We are surprised that Alhaji Atiku is still relying on Section 40 of our constitution (as amended) to justify a protest that is now clearly a riot, a rampage in some parts of the country. Section 45 of the constitution says the right of assembly and the right of freedom of expression are not absolute. They can be abridged and fettered in the interest of public peace, public safety, law, and order. The Service Chiefs reiterated the rights of Nigerians to protest and gather freely. They, however, reinforced their constitutional duty, today, when they said they can not sit by idly and watch hoodlums destroy the country and its democracy.

The Service Chiefs and the officers and men of our security outfits should be commended for their patriotic duty to our country.

As a supporter and enabler of the destructive 'protests', Alhaji Atiku certainly wants the sinister protest to continue despite the red signals from the streets. A tweet that condones the destruction of private and public property and investments of citizens is unbecoming of a former vice president of Nigeria.

Alhaji Atiku ought to have risen above the sentiment he expressed and put the interest of our country’s stability ahead of whatever advantages he hoped to reap from the insurrection on our streets.

We encourage Alhaji Atiku to borrow a leaf from opposition figures in United Kingdom who have rallied behind the government to condemn the ongoing riots in UK, calling for the arrest and prosecution of those behind the wanton destruction of public and private assets. Such nationalistic temperament as displayed by opposition figures like Rishi Sunak, the immediate-past Prime Minister of UK is expected of Alhaji Atiku.

emkz:


The riots in the northwest exposed a serious problem they have not addressed: the problem of those children no one takes responsibility for. They have been badly exposed.

Dear northern governors and politicians, drop your political differences and work together among yourselves and with the center. With all the power that has been domiciled in your region, are your people better off for it? Your people lack portable drinking water, you have an army of uneducated children, you have no industries beyond politics. Terrorism and banditry is ravaging your region. You can't destroy your region because you want a better deal from Nigeria. Wake up! If the menace you are supporting explodes, you shall be the primary targets before they spread to other parts of the country.

Those children who were rioting constitute an army some elites may think can help them advance their interests. That army will one day turn against the elites. Are they not doing it already through kidnapping?

Wake up, you stand to lose more than others.

Kukutente23:

You must have been under the rock when Amaechi was running amok

Even Tinubu will smirk at your befuddling ignorance. He spared no words where OBJ is concerned

EyeCumInPeace:

Tinubu should just return fuel price to where he met it, and save Nigeria from anarchy.

Kukutente23:
It seems the clown called emkz always misses the shot by a mile. Just this morning, he was ranting that Tinubu shouldn't address the protesters hiding under one lame excuse when we know his grouse is Obi taking the shine off that by being the one who first muted the idea.
Now his master and saviour has agreed with Obi to his chagrin
I can imagine the shameful shock and gnashing of teeth he'll be in now
Pitiable thing

NEIGHBOUR:

@emkz, your Post up there made my day! Even the Media Advisers to the President could not write better. Thumps up.
The President should adopt your write up and address the nation. You did a good job.
The Media Advisers are not doing a good job at all.
Thanks my guy.👍

Kukutente23:

You can see that majority of the opinions here think you wrote rubbish.
Don't take it personal. Just learn and move on.
At least, if you want to put up a defence, make it based on facts and logic not some rubbish meaningless drivel.
Imagine interpreting a call to scrap the Senate as a call for military rule when the Senate can be scrapped by simply altering s47 of the constitution and deleting s48 completely.
Even the President has the powers to suspend NASS in some situations. Does that transmit him to a military president?
Your writeup is rubbish. It lacks intellectual depth

nomorespams:
I like the fact that you even took your time to at least constructively engage each of the major points with your perspectives..

But to be frankly honest with you all these points can actually be actualised before the month of December..the major problem about us is Leadership and most of us are so used to bad or poor quality of life that we see it as a norm..

My brother, first and foremost If that constitution is to be amended to be more people centric..it will involve all stakeholders including the public to rein in their points, while that is going on the president will still be on seat and even when it's being passed into Law ... common sense will actually be that PBAT should at the very least finish his current tenure...

So please my brother all these points are actually doable, don't look at it as a complicated process, Na just ppl wey dey top go make am look Complicated...how many days did it take to actualise the passing of New Anthem or millions for Public Servants Cars...but when it came to just passing a people centric motion like Minimum Wage, despite the early awareness of its expiry in 2023...it took months and protest and the President to step in before it was finally signed ..can you imagine Can you now see this is just a Leadership thing bro, nothing else!

Kukutente23:

It's a surprise that such a poorly written article made front page. But what do I know that drives Seun and his mod in his selection of what should be on the main page?

It is obvious that this writer simply wants to bark for the pleasure of his master.

The protest is styled End Bad Governance and Hunger Protest but he made it all about Tinubu. Tinubu is not the government. At least on paper, he controls just a branch of govt.

So ending bad governance is not just about him alone and what he can or cannot do. It is about the defects in our political system and the bad behaviour of our political class.

All in all, the writer was too eager to paint the protest bad and failed to do a little research on the subjects raised before declaring them untenable.

Calling for a scrap of the constitution for example is not a novel thing. Chile did so recently and it did not involve a military coup. A constitution can be repealed, amended or altered if the political will is there.

Thus, the writer is only being frivolous writing rubbish which impresses no one but rather exposes his lilliputian intellectual state.
Pity.

LandMann:


You've not given a reasonable answer to the questions I've asked you. You keep repeating what you have said before like a zombié. How are you sure Tinubu's policy affected my crypto investment when the value of 1.4 bitcoin in my wallet bought at $21257 is still better than the value of naira and the value of whatever Tinubu's agents will pay you for your propaganda work? How many years will you need to work without stealing before you can meet up with 1.4 bitcoin? You see why I say you repeat things like a zombié but cry when facts are repeated for you to dispute?

Explain why the naira hasn't appreciated to 700/$ like you and your zombié friends predicted after Tinubu's government decided to be chasing shadows.

Is your father and mother or other family members still able to feed well with this Tinubu's policy of hardship and suffering?

LandMann:


Like a typical government propaganda zombié with selective memory.

1. After joining Tinubu to blame Binance and crypto, what do you have to say about the exchange rate today? Is crypto still to blame?

2. If Nigeria is broke as claimed by Tinubu and his corrupt administration, where is the government getting money from to fund the needs of mostly those in government as well as white elephant projects from where they can easily get bribes?

3. More than 70% of Nigerian electorates didn't vote for Tinubu. With Tinubu's abysmal performance so far, would you say Tinubu's approval rating has improved or declined?

4. If signs of hunger, inflation and protest shows Tinubu approval rating has fallen, why do you then foolishly advise the government to double down and come hard on the citizens instead of taking steps to ameliorate the situation?
