TonyeBarcanista:

You and I know say you de talk this one make e de easy for Buhari

TonyeBarcanista:

The issue of LGA elections will not stop until the powers to conduct that election is transferred to INEC

TonyeBarcanista:

Oga PDP remains the only party that is firmly rooted in every nooks and crannies of the 774 LGAs that makes up Nigeria.

Election for Presidency is different from Big Brother Naija contest, this one has to do with grassroots and PDP is the ONLY party that is known by all Nigerians.

menxer:


@bolded, How did PDP get to this point after 16 years in power and the economy was booming?

DonPiiko:
What's my business with IPOB.

DonPiiko:
I was born in Lagos, grew up there and currently live in the North so I am basically a true Nigerian.

DonPiiko:
The Afonja Muslims all over are always quick to overdo and support people who treat them as inferior, that's my observation.

DonPiiko:
You guys should continue supporting a grandfather to wreck the country, no matter what happens some of us will still survive. It's people like you there give N-Power jobs and you sing their praises

DonPiiko:
I have my PVC to send your grandfather hero back to Daura

tuniski:

Are you a south Korean?

socialmediaman:


Is that really smart? If the objective is to vote out the current government why waste your vote and keep him in office? His supporters are not divided

hakimi1974:
makarfi is an excellent choice no doubt, but the kind trepidation and fear wey i get for anything p.d.p word no go fit explain. p.d.p in this nation again? tufiakwa, allah ya kiaaye, olorun maje, God forbid bad thing. may that terror and nightmare called p.d.p never afflict this nation again. wasted 16 years of abundance, awon olori buruku.

BetaThings:

You have the same ethno-religious instincts like IPOB


All the above don't make you a true Nigerian
A true Nigerian does not indulge in divisive antics


Why should they listen to somebody who hates them? Would you?
If you were truly concerned about them, you would advise them, rather than hate them

Anyway who treats them as inferior? You just love to pit the Muslims in the North against their brothers in the South
Anyway the argument that Yoruba Musims love their oppressors is used against the entire Yoruba

People forget that the NW and SW were oppressed by Jonathan in his first term and they just want them to vote for him for 2nd term
There was no service chief from the NW throughout the Jonathan years


Hahaha
The North wants to work with everybody and will respect all - SW, SS, SE if they will open their hearts
Wrong reading of people. Who told you I am an N-Power beneficiary and will not survive abolition of handouts
I hate this pretentious democracy - we need a Kagame

Let me also make something clear to you now - I was created by Allah and my provision comes from Him
If oil in ND dries up, it does not matter to me; if a dictator shuts down all the oil wells, good!
If we want to make 36 countries out of the 36 states, I have no problem with that
I am a Muslim, I believe in divorce; it is Christians that hate divorce and spread hate within it

I don't even need anything to do same to ur lazy grandpa.

Diffrence btwn lazy and hardworking grandpa.

Proudlyngwa:


Bros I no get time to vote anybody, unless the person give me written assurance usable against him granting local government full autonomy from States

Proudlyngwa:
Without local government, no development.

DonPiiko:
My grandfather was a very intelligent and successful politician in his prime, who left the stage for the younger ones when he advanced in age. Your grandfather is likely a nobody toiling hard under the sun to see where the next meal will come from. It's a pity you support one who has nothing to offer in order to be seen as a good Muslim, unfortunately you are a second class Muslim and no worshipping of real ones can change that.

nairamaniac:

Oga, they are telling you that PDP failed in all aspects of leadership and governance.
You are replying by saying they are rooted in every nooks&cranies of Nigeria bla bla bla".

Okay, let me put it better for you;

"PDP's FAILURES are rooted to every nooks&cranies of the 774 LGAs that make up Nigeria".

Are you happy now?

papoudaupolos:

Lies. Show us your pic wit him

BetaThings:


When you talk about written assurance, I was under the impression that you were going to talk about ironclad route to impeachment
No written assurance is enforceable after swearing in
You can think of securing that assurance now through legislation before the elections

I see a lot of youths supporting Saraki's moves on the election timetable
Can he and Dogara not do some wonderful things now? - scrap constituency allowance and use the money to employ over 100,000 youths
Do the math
They can also reduce their over N170m annual salary and use the savings to address empowerment, entrepreneurial education ansd skills building for youths
They should do things now - not after election when they will become untouchable


Have you worked with LG officials?
If you gave them autonomy, we are dead! They are the most corrupt least accountable harm
They just share money - go near them and you will see what happens

DonPiiko:
I don't like to put my family on social media but I will post my granddads photo and I expect you to do the same

Reference:
Mr Tonye, there is no doubt you may be right about the man and his potentials but the problem I have is that.... this is April 2018. This time in 13 months, this government will have ended. For a country as large and as complex as this. With more challenges bedevilling it more than ever before don't you think it is too late in the day for a new person to take charge in 13 months time.

The major problem we have today is of a government that was ill prepared for governance. That paid so much attention to the wedding at the detriment of the marraige. The issue is not about selecting a candidate, then electing him to power but how prepared the person is to rule. When an important new technology is proposed, what developers do is to test run it and if successful, certify it before placing it on the market. The Nigerian situation calls for more than a test run. I am dead sure if you ask Nigerians today if they donot mind changing the constitution to void the swearing in and rather have a potential president do a 3 month probation before approval, they will jump at that because 4 years is too much risk to bet on a person WHO HAS SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE JOB HE WANTS TO TAKE UP IN 13 MONTHS TIME. The biggest job of his life and the most important job in Nigeria.

Any one who aspires to lead Nigeria who by now HAS NOT STARTED TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT HOW HE INTENDS TO SOLVE THE CHALLENGES WE FACE CANNOT BE SERIOUS. And in all honesty I donot give a damn about whether INEC has blown the whistle to commence open campaigns or not. Because this is not an issue of campaigns but one of interaction, the sharing of ideas, the presentation of proposals, the genuine critique of the present system. Campaigns we know are just about vague promises. Campaigns are for ignorant, gullible folks. Campaigns are just intoxicating political jamborees. The real issues, the philisophy, the belief, the pathway must be marked clearly now.

If Makarfi wants the seat we want to know him like yesterday and if him and others will play hide and seek till a minute before elections it is far better we stick with President Buhari. Nigerian politics is notorious for empowering the unable and unwilling and I am beginning to suspect that you Tonye wants to drag a certain Makarfi kicking and screaming to the ballot paper. This is dead wrong.

Proudlyngwa:



I believe you might have some friends who stain the North, ask them the possibility of Atiku winning there. He has even been rendered inconsequential by the current governor.

Honestly, currently PDP is in shambles, it is now more of a party of units, but no unifying factor, the battle between Markarfi and sheriff should never have taken place.

PDP currently has no national leader.
As for the name change, it is better than the gross a lot of people have against them.

Boyooosa:
Tonye, I wanted to ask why you wrote this until I read your nomenclature. It is not bad writing a good article for ur party neither bad to talk well of your opionionated candidate but I have a question for you: do we need recycled being as a front man in this country or a vibrant soldier? A soldier carries no literal meaning here, it just means; youthful, intelligent, smart, honest, disciplined and able to instil same. We don't need a democrat at this stage of our lives as a people, we need a law breaker that will break the gate of national assembly and arrest any criminal found wanting. We need an illegal arrestor of any judiciary member turning the pages of the constitution to his & his beneficiary's favour, without even going through the proceedings sef.
All these and more are the things that thrilled me of Buhari at the initial not until he entered expiry date... So we need a vibrant soldier! again.
If you are to present one from your party, we can start talking.
Peace!

DonPiiko:
You are an inferior Muslim, that's the summary of this debate. Even from your post
https://www.nairaland.com/4300611/gov-wike-set-up-christian

DonPiiko:
You are trying too hard to get the attention and recognition of true and genuine Muslims. Keep on supporting an uneducated grandfather that should be living in retirement. Afonja Muslims aren't attractive so once there see a woman that can marry them there worship the ground which she walks on.

DonPiiko:
The real classy Muslims are the ones that marry and divorce at will. I have some of them as my good and close friends.

TonyeBarcanista:

Such a man will only justify soldiers to stage coup... You don't flout the constitution and expect happy ending

papoudaupolos:

Allah I pity you.

TonyeBarcanista:
That's a question to the past chairmen and Financial Secretaries that held sway from 1998 to 2015
