IBB should have just handed over...but the Northern guys were threatening fire and brimstone, and Nigeria was in a scary place that 1993.

But honestly, I do not understand why Northern governors in 1993 were threatening fire and brimstone if MKO took over. At best he had 4 years to do his thing, and if he messed up, he got thrown out. 8 years even. But fire and brimstone, and then we got a 'Interim government' and then Abacha came and swept away everything in Nov 1993. Four years later, Abacha was essentially running a personality cult. (It got so bad that people were wearing Abacha badges, buying Abacha televsion and cooking with Abacha stove. And you best not talk out too loud against the man).

We got 5 more years of army rule because some people could not wait 8 years for their turn, and could not accept defeat and were stoking the spirit of 1966-70.

That's when I understood that Nigerians are not interested in development, but only in their side winning.

(I didn't expect MKO to do great...I just wanted us to have civilian government like all our African neighbours. Benin, Ghana, etc were having presidental elections, presidents getting sworn in, and here we were in Nigeria...)

Nobody threatened anything. IBB annuled the election out of his selfish desire to perpetuate himself in power. The point to be made is, IBB couldn't care less if MKO took over and got killed by any cabal. He was the real cabal, who was shell-shocked by Abiola's overwhelming victory at the polls, and imminent assumption of power.

IBB had flimsily postponed the return to democracy countless times before that event?

Racoon:
You expect a man with many criminal past including unknown genealogy, involved in identity theft/bullion vans criminality, forgery of certificates, well known election rigger, operator of the largest concentric ring of thugs and worst of all, indicted in a staggering $460, 000 heroin drug running forfeiture in 1993 @ Chicago USA to fight corruption?

You expect a Tinubu who hailed and praised a Gandollar publicly caught stuffing dollar bribe wads into his babanriga for fighting corruption? A man that won an election not based on anything but transparent to fight corruption? You must be the most stupid joker around

You are a prolific writer. In due time, you will be invited to do a book on Tifnubu.

You earn comparatively better income
there, but you spend all the income on taxes,
tariffs and the comparatively higher cost
of living there...

Stalemate❗️❗️❗️

A friend in the UK needed her car checked.
She had to book an appointment with
her mechanic and paid a fee ( consultancy?)
of £150 ( roughly N150k).

On the appointed date, she went with
the car and after the maintenance, she
was charged £200 workmanship, making total of £350 or N450k ❗️❗️❗️😮😮😮

Almost half million for some basic check
and probably change of oil & filters, something
that will cost less than N30k in Nigeria.

Did you ask how much your friend earns comparatively? Your analysis is not adding up. What is consultancy in car maintenance, asides "workmanship" charges that you mentioned? Tell me another story.

If it is Anambra, or related to Obi leading Anambra to 1st position in WAEC, it must be pulled down. That's the agenda. Destroy anything Obi. smh.

Truthday:
Eu should face that has burnt into ashes and Ukraine thats burning . You have enough problem to deal with in Europe. Leave Nigeria alone. Or do you need more slaves to kill ?

Same mad Europe that killed 7 million Jews

Same Europe that causes WW1 & ww2.

Same Europe that enslaved Africa and the world.

Same Europe that killed the entire archipelago in Australia from 100% to 3.6% and replaced them with Australia.

Same Europe that invaded Libya, with the highest GDP into civil war for over 10years till date

Same Europe that invaded north America Killin native American into extinction ad replaced them with USA.

Same Europe that caused arpathied in South Africa and want to kill all blacks if not people like Nelson Mandela

Same Europe that stole new Zealand and replaced them with whites.

Same Europe that's a cancer to the world invading dozens of nations. Nazis

If Nigeria continues on this path, the burning you will witness, will be nothing compared to the events you currently describe in Europe. Keep living in denial.

The same fellow who annulled the election and has failed to condemn the recently conducted Presidential election? Who speaks tongue in cheek? Na wa!!

Shame to the Nigerian homebased press who failed to identify this fraud, and who all the time have relied on others to do what is their rightful duty.

Watch how they will all start analysing this "discovery" now.

FreeStuffsNG:
It is strictly by invitation. All the activities lined up for the Inauguration are not for your ilks sir.
Sincerely, we do not want unpatriotic elements and bad energy around the events.

Please did Atiku steal second place from Mr Obi too?

God bless President-Elect Asiwaju Tinubu, GCFR.
God bless HE VP-Elect Shettima,GCON.
God bless Nigeria for ever!

Strictly by invitation.
Joke of the year.

Remain and loot until the last minute, he says.

kpompey:

You can move to chad after May 29. Tinubu will rule for 8 years. Already , he has moved to defence house as a procedure, from where he will move to Aso rock.

superlanny:
I see no difference in the two of them, Nigeria has been eternally cursed with bad and selfish leaders, and we have paid and still paying the price for this unfortunate decision.

That's absolutely incorrect. Atiku is a saint compared to Tinubu.

Yes, he's been said to be corrupt, but the other one has corruption as his smallest sin. He is covered in bile.

Tareq1105:


No election can ever be acceptable to all the over 300 tribes we have in Nigeria. That's always the situation with most heterogeneous country like ours especially those ruled by the British.

Recall 1993 general election. Very peaceful, free, fair, and transparent but our south east brothers were bitter about the outcome, just like now, bcoz their preferred candidate lost. Like joke like joke, an Igbo association (Associatiin of Bastard Nigerians) went to court and nullified the results with the of then military leader Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.

Here they (Ibos) are again 30 yrs after crying for cancellation of the results and you expect Yorubas would stand akimbo watch them to repeat what their fathers did to us 30 yrs ago to be repeated?

The South East voted Abiola overwhelming. When were you born?

The nation mourns. Nigerians all over the world are grieving over the tragedy that has befallen their nation. Africa weeps.

Nigeria that produced the great Awo, Zik of Africa, velvet voiced Tafawa Balewa, Herbert Macaulay, and more (all in no particular order), and now beset with this charade, indeed the mighty has fallen.

georgeakins:


Tinubu has an assignment to deliver Nigerians from hopelessness.

Ibos who wish him dead, will die before him.

Stop making it Ibo vs Yoruba. That's cheap. Can't you see the nation mourns? Nigerians all over the world are grieving over the tragedy that has befallen their nation. Africa weeps.

I do not wish him dead though.

Arteta "arranging" it for Guardiola. That's the only explanation.

KingKO22:

The same fake story that IPOB criminals indulge and parpetuate during Buhari regime is what they are doing again and this will continue for another 8 years

He is promoting the same theory by going incognito. Tell me how a "leader in waiting" would hide his movement and location from his people, whom he's supposed to love so much. Hide and seek?

Geovanni412:



TInubu was never convicted

He is the Teflon don of Nigerian Politics

Like him or hate him, he is a very smart man

If they had enough evidence to jail him, they would.

You only bargain when there is not enough evidence to prosecute or to catch a bigger fish.

Example :
Karla Homolka, a serial killer involved in the rape and murder of her own sister, Tammy Homolka, plead guilty to manslaughter in Canada and was given only 12 yrs imprisonment in exchange for her giving detailed evidence of the crimes of her husband.

Her husband, Paul Bernardo was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Later on, it was discovered she had more involvement in the crimes but the rule is you can't convict someone twice. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_Homolka

So, are you saying that Jagaban is guilty, but not convicted?

Shantyken:

Na holy spirit reveal this to u guy
That is the game until they learn how to play the game

"The game" played by a crooked bunch of desperados, determined to rule by force.

Obaaderemi2:
You are obviously a very poor public speaker. That's why a tactless speaker appears articulate to you.

Define articulate, English master.

Shantyken:

Me and the 8m+ d celebrate if u doubt me count from nairaland how many people d congratulates him(tinubu)

8m out of 89 million voters.

And the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart.

Natajo2021:
Journalism is a disaster in Nigeria and Africa at large. They do not follow the ethics and rules of their profession talkless of the law of the country where they practice .
Fake and unsubstantiated news is their hallmarks.
They should all rot in jail.
To hell with all journalists in Nigeria most especially the Arrogant Rufai Oseni and stupid Reuben Abatti of Arise news.
The jail is being prepared for all the journalists that work for times, People gazette, Sahara reporters, Channel TV, and all Obi-diots of this world.
They have murdered sleep, no Obi-diots shall rest except in jail and hell.
Dati the complainant, Obi the adjudicator, Obi-diots the prosecutors shall all Labour in vain, as they protested in vain, campaigned in vain, promoted ING in vain, wept on National TV in vain, Wailling in vain, cursed and mocked The president elect in vain , criticised Buhari government in vain and in vain shall they loose again at the Tribunal and Supreme Court .

You will need to imprison every Nigerian. Nobody is celebrating your pyrrhic victory. The nation mourns.

Obaaderemi2:
I wonder where obi picked that man from. Completely tactless with words. I believe his problem is his lack of a good grasp of language. His speaking ability is very poor.

But then people like Oluomo should be arrested and prosecuted for incitement.

Datti is articulate, which is very evident. Your not seeing that shocks every perceptive mind.

buygala:
All I see is a Chimpanzee Rooney hating on Fine Boy CR7 .... Dude has been looking like a Grandpa since he was 16


Rooney's obsession with Ronaldo is quite unhealthy.. If e wan fvck CR7, make e kuku talk make we know how we fit use God beg CR7 to open anus for am

Rooney is behaving like a teenage girl who keeps saying derogatory things about her crush, just to sidetrack people from noticing her infatuation.


Na Harry Kane broke his record, yet he found a way to drag innocent CR7 into his rants ...

You have completely misunderstood Rooney's statement. Read it again, all the way.

I can tell you that this lie was initiated from within the APC, in order to pressure and secure the assurance of the Presidency that Buhari would go, just like the one about Buhari not ing Tinubu which led to him attending some of the campaigns towards the end of the season. We know the workings of the inner caucus of this "cult". A house divided against itself.

Gloom, sadness, depression all over the country and beyond. No jubiliation. 'Victory' bringing mourning. Na wah!

Cup losing it's glamour and prestige. Soon will be 60 teams.

All does not appear well with this man.

FalseProphet1:
I see LP winning 9 states in next week's gubernatorial election

This I have seen.

Serious minded analysis delivered with a touch of humour.

eyomade:

Even though some of us who are yoruba and lagosian at for labour from inspection ur write up is not encouraging at this time. Plz forget tribe in this coming election and vote for labour party for a new change mind u we all resident of lagos

Exactly.
