Lol, going on a tangential. Basic comprehension na your problem oga

0monnak0da:

Did Yoruba create Nigeria?
Even staying in this life is not by force?
You can always kill yasef?
Who is proposing the feudal hegemony?
Just like we find ourselves in this life so do we find ourselves in Nigeria and not Argentina
We make the best of where we find ourselves.

Please, staying together no be by force. We can all go our separate ways and each entity can focus on issues based governance instead of some feudal northern hegemony nonsense being proposed.

0monnak0da:
YORUBA are cool with that
Some people say from 2023 if they are not given Presidency then let the North rule for ever as a threat
Has the North not ruled for ever?and with whose backing pray tell?


That would make sense only to a child
Go o and refresh your history of all the elections that have ever happened in Nigeria
In 1960 Zik went into coalition with Balewa Awo led Yoruba into opposition

1965 Zik went into coalition with Balewa Awo led Yoruba into opposition

1979 Zik went into coalition with Shagari Awo led Yoruba into opposition Ekwueme was VP
AND Ume Ezeoke was speaker HOR
1983 AGAIN Zik went into coalition with Shagari Awo led Yoruba into opposition Ekwueme was VP
AND Ume Ezeoke was speaker HOR By this time Ojukwu had returned to join NPN

So Yoruba have always been in opposition. We are used to it
Ask Awo
Ask Tinubu
Opposition is very natural to us .
It is the Eboes that are natural slaves of Fulani and desperate to be in the centre
Now they find themselves in opposition they are stranded they don't know what to do.
All that talk of Aboki rule for ever as a threat to YORUBA is silly. They have ruled for ever. With EBOE BACKING. FACTS ARE STUBBORN.
Still the Eboes complain that Yoruba sabotage ports in the East so Lagos can benefit despite being in coalitions with Fulani for decades.If we can be so powerful and influential in opposition while you have been perennial boyboy are we not great?
Deal with facts and stop the fiction
We do not need to be President
Let Vice President be the portion of the South forever,let that be the new battleground.
We are already ready for that we have the numbers so you can forget about that too

Obi ko Orogbo ni

The stars are aligning for Atiku. I hope he takes the chance and doesn't abuse it like Buhari. To be honest, Buhari can only win the upcoming election by rigging

H.E @atiku and I met with Rakesh Wahi, Chairman of CNBC/Forbes who came on a courtesy call on Saturday in Dubai. The feeling was mutual on both sides, I must say we are more than ready to kick start the #letsgetnigeriaworkingagain project.

These are predictions from different bodies, not support. I hope they are right though

No we can't let sleeping dogs lie. That is encouraging bad behaviour. He can't scam his way to the presidency. What example does that set?

Peter Obi Is Perfect For Atiku, But Bad For Ndigbo And Nigeria
By SKC Ogbonnia
October 23, 2018

The excitement flowing behind the choice of Peter Obi as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential nominee of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) is a teachable moment. It shows that the Nigerians still appreciate good people. Overall, Obi acquitted himself credibly enough as governor of Anambra State. At least, he is one the very few former Nigerian governors without a litany of corrupt marks.

The former Anambra governor is also humble man. A self-made multibillionaire, through dint of hard work, Obi does not flaunt affluence, as most of them do, by acquiring private jets, chieftaincy titles or fake degrees. And, in case you have never taken notice, the man has chosen to remain a Mister: Mr. Peter Obi. Simple! His selection has, therefore, proven to the political class, particularly those of the Igbo stock, that the society at large looks beyond primitive accumulation of wealth and bogus titles.

Sum it this way: Peter Obi is certainly not the best the Igbo and Nigeria can offer, but he is he is perfect for Atiku Abubakar as an individual. The reason is plain: The heaviest baggage of the former Vice President is the prevailing perception that the man is virally corrupt. Atiku, remember, is a high priest in the billionaire club of ex-civil servants, most of who met their wealth through illegitimate means. Thus, it would have been very impolitic for him to field Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the preferred VP choice of the South-East PDP leaders.

Get this clear, Ekweremadu is one of the few politicians of the Fourth Republic that has distinguished himself. He is very dynamic and could have made a better VP than Peter Obi—by far; but Nigerians are becoming wiser. Before dreaming of any future national elective office, the ebullient senator should hurry up and explain in clear terms how he amassed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to over 30 choice properties in three continents without any traceable commercial enterprise.


At this juncture, I must join to publicly rebuke the cuckoo governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, and his South-East PDP cohorts who, because Ekweremadu was not selected, have been peddling all the wrong reasons to deflate the choice of Peter Obi. The state of origin, for example, should not matter when choosing a presidential candidate or his running mate from Igbo land, especially where the chosen is heads and shoulders above his competitors.

But that is where any sympathy for the Obi candidacy ought to end, especially for majority of the Igbo who have been jubilating as if, somehow, they had a sudden embrace with the Messiah.

Leading the fanfare is the Ohaneze Ndigbo. But the socio-cultural group should tread very carefully. We must not appear to have forgotten so soon that the choice of an Igbo man as a vice-presidential candidate is far from historic. Actually, it was Muhammadu Buhari that led the way in the current Fourth Republic by nominating Chuba Okadigbo in 2003 and Edwin Ume-Ezuoke in 2007 while this same Atiku Abubakar fielded Ben Obi in 2007. Interestingly, however, the Ohaneze shunned those Igbo VP candidates, then in the opposition ranks, but opted for the PDP, the party then in power. This contradicting posture explains the disquieting suspicion that the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization is the political oracle of the PDP.

Nevertheless, the Ohaneze must equally come to terms with the reality that the mere presence of the Igbo in important political positions has not always translated to public good in Igboland. Let me also add that, while Peter Obi might have performed well in Anambra, quite alright, he is not the kind of leader the Igbo need at the centre.

Obi’s leadership woes are apparent. The most mind-bugling is the failure to attract any meaningful federal project to Anambra state while in office. Lest we forget, as governor, Obi was the much-beloved close ally of President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan during the recent oil boom when the Igbo dominated virtually every important portfolio in the country.

Yet, there is nothing concrete to show in South-East for such powerful positions occupied by the Igbo, particularly in Anambra, where Peter Obi held sway. For instance, the major thoroughfare in the state, the Onitsha-Enugu Highway, remained a death trap while Peter was governor. The mass deceit on the 2nd River Niger Bridge during the Obi tenure has continued to beg the attention of Guinness World Records. Needless to mention how Goodluck Jonathan connived with the governor to declare open the Orient Petroleum Refinery in 2012 when the facility was not even halfway completed. The plot was to quell tension in the country by appearing as if Jonathan had solutions in the wake of the 2012 fuel crisis.

The failure with the Orient Petroleum Refinery, a PPP project, is deserving of curious attention. When my team inquired about the refinery in 2014, the management was seeking $100 million dollars to get a portion of the $660 million facility to truly come on stream. Yet, Governor Obi had Anambra billions glued in commercial banks. A visionary leader would have committed part of the savings for the completion of the refinery which could have provided employment to youths in the region. Or, more appropriately, considering his role in the fake opening of the refinery in 2012, Obi ought to have been able to influence President Jonathan for any federal support needed to rescue the refinery.

Yes, leadership is all about influence. If Peter Obi could not influence Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, a very pliable and weak president, to attract projects to Anambra State; what are the chances then that he (Obi) can even gain the attention of a strong character like Atiku Abubakar who, as a Vice-President, was arguably more powerful and shrewd than his boss, a brutal four-star general?

The answer is this: The ideal VP of Igbo extraction is a transformational leader with the ability to maximize available resources to not only perform assigned tasks but one who can also influence others towards the attainment of greater golas. For an Atiku presidency, however, Nigeria needs a strong vice-president that can steadily motivate and influence him towards national goals and objectives. Peter Obi is none of the above.

Behave yourself. When Aisha Buhari dey there

This man again. Did Buhari tell him that? Was he not one of those using APC Manifesto to campaign, the same Manifesto Buhari claimed he knew nothing about?

Buhari will go for third term.

To be fair, I don't think they will ply roads to smuggle Arms into the country. The border is way to large to be monitored. They have a better chance if they work on intelligence

He is a very naive politician abeg
He should quit and save face else he will be shocked at the polls

Sadly, an agency that was created with the best intentions for the Nigerian people has become a vehicle for vendetta. A country should not be run like this. New lows and bad precedents every single day.

deomelo:



1. ipob, PMB is the largest employer of labor in Nigeria and they are all geting paid unfailingly, I mean federal workers

2. There are tens of thousands of farmers, food bendors, transporters and food processors participating in the federal food program.

3. There are hundreds of thousands of construction workers back at hundreds if not thousdands of contruction sites working to complete the abandon projects your looting and stealing PDP uncles abandoned.

4. PMB saved millions of state jobs all over Nigeria, including the ones in your ipob villages by issuing bail out funds

5. We've seen PMB and the VP commissioned many manufacturing plantssince 2015, nore than what your looting and stealing PDP uncles commmisioned in 16 years.

6.Atiku doesn't have any business capacity to employmore than 1000 people and the 50000 workers is just nonsense and made up rubbish that doesn't jive with reality.

Yet millions have lost jobs under PMB and many manufacturers have packed up and/or relocated to other countries. Does not add up sir

Firstly, there's corruption all over the world. But it has not stopped many other countries from developing and experiencing economic growth. Incompetence, cluelessness, zero govt and economic wherewithal are more damaging. Secondly, even by your own admission, you agree that he is nepotistic and surrounds himself with corrupt people. You know many of these people are more corrupt than Atiku. By default Buhari is more corrupt than Atiku. His govt has also been shown to be the most corrupt thus far. So you are happy to choose incompetence and corruption over just corruption? INTERESTING

Dutchbraht:
Faced with a choice of of choosing between the devil(Buhari) and Atiku(Deep blue sea)-I will choose Buhari, even though he his lifefless, nepotic, bereft of ideas and surrounds himself with corrupt people.

I can't choose Atiku because the level of corruption if he was to win, will be something that has never been seen before. Right from when he was a Customs officer, he has been a wheeler dealer and was caught pants down in an international jurisdiction collecting a $2 million dollar bribe(account number was provided in the investigation) by the United States government from Siemens and indicted for laundering $40 million dollars.

In an ideal world the front runners in 2019, will be Ezekwesili,Moghalu and Sowore but Nigerians love to vote useless and corrupt leaders that torment them.

Dutchbraht:

We need Sowore or Moghalu to run the country, but the corruption loving youth are routing for Atiku and Buhari-two epic failures and corrupt leaders.

Naaa, not Sowore. He's as crooked as Atiku and Buhari. Moghalu left it too late to start a movement

The best way to describe this mess is that Buhari came to restructure corruption. He's not against corruption, he's against his cronies not benefitting from it. The man is a huge let down

Obasanjo has changed his mind, he has seen improvements in Atiku

If the point of this is to convince his supporters that he's crooked, you won't achieve anything. They support him regardless and have all been programmed to believe in the integrity nonsense

Ratello:
It sickens me to the stomach whenever I read about Buhari not being corrupt or that he is fighting corruption. What was the overthrow of Kachikwu from NNPC all about? And the installation of Abba Kyari as chairman? To clean up the place? What exactly is the role of Mamman Daura in this government that merits his permanent residency at the villa? To baby sit his uncle? And what about the central bank syndicate? The oil subsidy syndicate? Is it a coincidence that all so called lucrative appointments are exclusively reserved for his cronies? A man deliberately sets up an infrastructure to facilitate looting and then the same man is hailed as a man of integrity. And the greatest dummy he sells to the Nigerian public is that he doesn't know or aware of all that is happening around him. How convenient an excuse? Is it even logical to accept that an ignorant president is capable of fighting corruption? According to the theory of see no evil, how would he then know when corruption is being perpetrated? Deniability is an old trick of crooked leaders who look the other way while their agents are on the rampage and pretend not to know what is taking place under their noses.
In Buhari we are dealing with one of the greatest enablers of corruption Nigeria has ever experienced.

Obasanjo's son is with Buhari ,
These politicians were too busy chopping our money to spend quality time with their kids and teach them loyalty

I honestly think PDP has the momentum right now and APC keeps digging her grave.

Back to where? I don't think that would be possible constitutionally. He needs to go enjoy his new life as a private citizen

Free this woman. Not sure I like her much but she stays in Dubai and if the Americans really thought she had a case to answer, she would have been extradited and prosecuted. I think she would be a more flamboyant First lady, the maryam Babangida type
