As much as I agree that's a corny thing to do (playing chess against yourself in a public museum) I'm not going to ‘kikikiki’ with non-Nigerian calling a Nigerian attire ‘retard’
E never reach like that.
In the last election, Peter Obi got more than 6 million votes.
Sowore got 14,606.
I am highlighting this not to shade anyone, but to call all of us to a moment of reflection.
I don’t want us, as Nigerians, to devolve into the kind of mindless politics we see in the US, where the goal becomes supporting a candidate rather than serving the nation.
If your goal is to see Nigeria free from its current state, then Sowore should not be part of your consideration.
Why?
The reality on the ground. He amassed approximately 15,000 votes.
I made a tweet last Sunday that had more likes than that.
So it means your candidate, no matter how good his intentions or character may be, does not have a realistic chance.
If your goal is Nigeria, then you support a political leader who can at least challenge Tinubu.
In my estimation, two of those are Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar.
Again, if your goal is to stop a Nigeria where bandits flaunt ransom money confidently on TikTok, and where 700 Boko Haram terrorists are reintegrated into society, then one of these would be your pragmatic choice.
Now, either of these two is going against Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
I detest Tinubu. I think he is godforsaken, completely morally depraved, and dark.
But he is powerful, and he is no small politician. He is a behemoth.
A leviathan.
A titan.
I use all these weighty and apocalyptic terms because that is what he represents in Nigerian politics.
He recently admitted that he practically installed Muhammadu Buhari as president.
He has been doing this for decades, and he eventually became president with little substance.
Now, he has governors who threaten their citizens with punishment if they do not vote for him.
Now, he has wealthy socialites forming a ground army for him.
Now, business leaders are cozying up to him, people like Tony Elumelu and others.
I have not even talked about money. 41% of the 81 trillion naira federal revenue is unaccounted for.
That is enough to fund at least five presidential elections.
That kind of war chest will buy 100 Supreme Court justices.
Then we have the violence. This is a political party that can get away with sheer violence while security agencies look the other way.
This government has budgeted huge sums for legal battles.
I am telling you that Tinubu is not a politician you can confront with just fine ideals and smooth philosophies on Twitter.
He is dangerous. He is a superstructure.
And it will take equally formidable forces to challenge him. Even then, one person alone cannot face him.
Rauf Aregbesola is formidable, but not a behemoth.
Nasir El-Rufai is formidable, but not a behemoth.
Rabiu Kwankwaso is formidable, but not a behemoth.
Atiku Abubakar is formidable, and a behemoth.
But their combined weight forms a super Behemoth that can truly challenge the leviathan that Tinubu is.
And that is why the government did everything it could to prevent the African Democratic Congress from securing a venue for its convention.
That is a sign of fear.
And that kind of structure, one that can strike fear in someone like Tinubu, is the only thing that can get Peter Gregory Obi into Aso Rock.
This is the pragmatism driving some of us at this moment.
Yes, some of those people are deeply flawed and evil. But Peter Obi is widely verified as a principled moral hardliner.
And it is that uncompromising nature that we are relying on.
Peter can be trusted. That is why this alliance does not trouble us. And should not you.
Let us get Peter in first, please.
For the sake of Nigeria.
Amen.
Yes, you’ve not been seeing my post lately. It’s not because the school has answered us, in fact, the school has not reached out to us since all these started and in my opinion, that’s some level of IRRESPONSIBILITY.
Well, we’ve resulted to encouraging ourselves and at this point, we are just tired, most of us don give up self.
And yeah, it will interest you that the school has not checked up on us once.
MDCN and Unilorin, you’ve won.

When women say "STOP rap*ng women"...
Your response cannot be "what abt men/children" neither can it be "what abt false accusers" nor anything else.
Your reply MUST only be YES!!!
You can start your own separate conversation abt anything else at another time/place.

So, I’m here to open the light on the occurrence happening in university of Ilorin, college of health sciences. It’s going be a long thread, so follow through to get the full gist.
University of Ilorin is pretty aware of her quota before admitting students beyond quota.
After 8 solid years of struggle and hardwork, the school claims MDCN is not agreeing to inducting above quota yet every eke market we see MDCN inducting schools way above their quotas!!!
