Now that's crazy!

Boondocks is overdue a reboot...materials don too plenty since last production.

Amigoss:


Hope he is fine sha,Man has not uttered anything since,APC abracadabra shock am ...The way i heard he went so hard on those campaigns,person wey no chop belleful no fit put body else will go bust

E go dey fine jor, he's released a statement, and he's taking it better than I even expected. Na Obaseki the election pain pass if na dawan.

DissTroy:




You stated right on this thread you were voting ethnicity/regionalism. Something something our turn, it must rotate. You literally vote the "Emi lokan" mantra in Edo State.

Don't change it now. And you betrayed the best candidate on the ballot who campaigned hardest when it mattered most.

If Tinubu supporters = 🌽Cornmen.

You Asue supporters = 🍞 Bread boys.

Already debunked the accusation of personally backing Asue based on ethnicity or rotation within the state, though I understand the sentiment. Asue Ighodalo was the most competent person on the ballot and campaigned hardest...the only thing Olumide Akpata had over him as regards campaign was that album.

Why help to recycle old and agenda-driven tweets?

If you no wan use dawan as evidence, use the one Eniola Badmus post recently do evidence... Point stands.

DissTroy:


Are you will to bet on deactivating your account if I show on-Nairaland and off-Nairaland evidence of me opposing the candidature of the PDP governorship candidate (who is currently the Governor of my state)?

Are you willing to bet the active status of your account if I show you evidence of me critiquing the former Governor Udom Emmanuel and opposing the incumbent because I'm opposed to Godfatherism?

Are you willing to bet on my ability to show evidence that the LP Governorship candidate was refusing to campaign, lacked the pedigree while hoping to ride on the Peter Obi wave to power?

Are you willing to bet on me showing you quoted on-Nairaland evidence of me stating the APC Governorship candidate was my second favourite because he had the pedigree (even though he was PDP until three months to the election because the PDP Primaries were skewed and influenced by the then Governor)?

Are you willing to bet on my ability to show you WhatsApp screenshots of me rejecting advances to support the PDP candidacy?

Do you want to read on-Nairaland posts of me assessing the current Governor while stating I didn't vote for him?

I campaigned for and voted my conscience across board. And in the Presidential campaign, I and mine supported financially in our own everyday citizens' way (with screenshots which I have uploaded right on this thread and are still up).


Not all of us sell our votes for Agege bread.

Same here my guy

TemporaryHansel:



I hate straightforward and blunt people like you.
Is that how fvcked up we have become? A friend retired to Vietnam with a far less amount back in 2019. I have lost his contact so no way to reach him now if not I would've made inquiries from him.

Lol...

TemporaryHansel:
By the way, is there any Asian country one can retire to with 25-30m?

It’s interesting how certain amounts can feel substantial in Nigeria, yet you hear they can be spent in just a few months elsewhere.

Maybe na USD you mean sha, cause 25-30M no go even reach you retire for most Nigerian villages

BlueRayDiick:


How many banks are in small towns? How many of the staff in those banks are full staff and not contract staff?

Probably the bank manager and one other staff will be full staff while the rest of them are contract staff that will never earn up to that 250k.

In addition to this, you neva even talk the level of degradation in quality of life that comes when you're not living in or around the city centre.

Check most of our states out, if you're not in the city center, you'd find it incredibly difficult to access basics needed to live a wholesomely ...Nigeria just dey generally fvcked sha, cause our big cities are planned too poorly and ill-optimized for the things that make normal family life possible, and our small cities without all these planning problems (yet) are essentially ghost towns

BlueRayDiick:


Even outside Lagos sef ; she won't survive with that amount in major cities like PHC, Abuja, etc.

The problem with people like that is they do not have the mental capacity to sit and actually calculate their expenses before making such assumptions. Na when u provide them that same job for 250k, leave to earn for 12 months, then ask her for her 1.2m savings after 1 year u will start hearing stories and excuses.

You get, like actually sitting down to figure out where their money is going, or where it'd go once they start earning is problem for a lot of Nigerian's...we don't have a personal finance culture here, probably because the economy is hardly predictable, so what's the point.

raumdeuter:


Person wey get clout to fight Wike
Get clout to fight Oba
Get clout to refuse the HoA members sworn in
Get clout to impeach deputy and swear in another within 24hrs
Defy all court orders even begging from his deputy

What now remains to be a Godfather

He could do all these because he was governor, as soon as his tenure finished he'd have lost the ability to do anything remotely close, at best he'd just be absorbed into PDP caucus and been causing problem for their Wike dem.

BlueRayDiick:
When u see people like this fabric chef capping like this, just know that they don't have anything figured out. They practically have no idea of what they are taking about.

There's no how she will pay electricity bill, transport fare, feed, buy toiletries and provisions, fill gas, make provisions for rent etc out of 250k salary and still save 100k monthly.

We have not even talked about dressing moderately well to work o

Transport, NEPA and feeding alone don chop 150K, and that na with serious managing...maybe outside Lagos sha, e fit fly.

raumdeuter:


Now is the time to give Obaseki Godfatherism a chance

Obaseki no fit be godfather for the state, e no get that clout.

airmark:


Support Tinubu next time, maybe he will lose.

Congratulations LukGaf he's currently teaching both Maths and R in Yoruba language.

Is this prof A001?

nihilistjnr:


Another excremental argument.

Anybody can drag you for not standing on business, ESPECIALLY when you've spent the better part of a year positioning yourself as member of a whiter than white movement.

You spent so much of your time here openly tracing the failures of multiple APC governments, rightly questioning why anybody in their right mind would vote for Tinubu to continue from the ruins of the disastrous Buhari regime.

Yet you're also here voting for PDP to continue from an Obaseki you hate so much you literally want to fight him one on one.

Amigoss was open about his support for Olumide Akapata, the LP candidate, he's only calling out the LPC and NNPDAPC

izzou:


They should let this matter rest.

Na you gan gan no go allow the matter rest. How many times you don talk let's move on yet go initiate dragging.

Amigoss:


Oyindamola na kwanks

Ehen...so you see. People that are cross-carpeting at will and when convenient want to call others out for doing same

Yet in all of this we have APC purists stinking up the place and getting a free pass

BlueRayDiick:


I think this closes this discussion . You are PDP at heart .

Na wetin u for talk since instead of us all wasting Seun’s data bandwidth going pages over pages

It's not even that sef, people just want to be hypocrites and not get called out.

See Izzou that supports LP presidential then APC governorship
You that would support LP presidential then pass on governorship
Oyindamola that would support LP presidential then APC or PDP governorship
Disstroy that would support LP presidential, APC Lagos state, PDP Akwa-Ibom, or even APC Akwa-Ibom if the state so aligns
Or is it the many other people that LP candidates didn't win their home states and you ddidn't see them marketing LP candidates either?

But lemme support LP presidential, LP Lagos, but PDP Edo and hell will be raised

izzou:


Sanwo-Olu did not do enough?



Well, you said "For him", so i can live with that.

Obaseki’s failure is well documented by even the Obidients for Asue. I was surprised to see him owing 5 years pension..Someone that ruled for 8.

Or should we compare Sanwo and Obaseki?

This matter is already closed. Monday don win.

Make dem go sit down abeg, and stop explaining their decisions

I'm just hearing this talk of Obaseki owing pensioners for 5 years. My mum is a pensioner and every 25th, without fail her alert dey enter, even 13th month dey clear for them. Obaseki pays the highest minimum wage, and was doing so even before the FG implemented it.

It's always the people that have zero bearing with the state that are quick to say Obaseki failed. The man did not do enough, he could have done better, but he did something, and I'd say he's been the best governor since 1999.

izzou:


It is this logic that amuses me the most.

How can PDP be the next best candidate, when PDP is the enemy?

You want to vote PDP to dethrone PDP?

Abi na APC dey rule?

Enemy to who?

Despite the PDPs many baggage's, I've never hidden the fact that I'm sentimental to the party, it's why you'd see me speak well about Obasanjo and Jonathan.

liveLongNprospa:


Again look at the arguments from Amigoss on its own merit without attachment to Theflint1's.

Both Theflint1 and izzou are the same.
They can both argue the reason they voted other party people but the end is they didn't vote credible LP candidates

At least I can say the LP candidate I supported was not competitive, what was Izzou's excuse in his own case?

nihilistjnr:


Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.


How can you be a registered LP agent in Lagos election, and vote against LP on your own state?

How?

Simple, LP stood no chance in Edo State, we can't even say the party as is today has an ideology even, so you can't make the argument that I'm voting against my ideologies.

A candidate getting 3% of votes cast was never in running, the next best thing was the PDP candidate, and he got my support.

liveLongNprospa:


You dey mix your argument with Theflint1 into that with Amigoss.

Theflint1 own dey obvious.
Amigoss own is simple.
Sanwo-Olu has enough baggage for him to not have been voted by you. LP had a credible candidate like GRV who is people centric and knows his onions and you overlooked that and empowered apc by giving them Lagos which is practically their financial powerhouse to win other elections.
So for him, your decision has far more reaching consequences than Theflint1's decision.

Again just calling it like I see it.

Leave am make e dey dance shaku shaku

Amigoss:


Leave am na ,make E dey do shaku shaku....E don you use shaku shaku wear me out for the matter,I don rest....

LP for sanwo dey drag LP for Asue

Na LP for sanwo pain me pass cos they started the trend,if they didnt sell out and LP won Lagos like presidency,APC will be weak cos no financing from lagos,The accredited voters who didn't turn up to vote which are mostly Lp voters will be motivated,LP for Asue and flint would be insignificant

LPC is just a little less dangerous than pure APC.

BlueRayDick:


I think the only reason why they are hounding Theflint is because he kept on preaching the gospel of "vote LP top-to-bottom" even when it was pointed out that aside from riding on the wave of OBIdients movement, GRV was not all that. Just like Olumide had his baggage of issues, GRV had his too and Theflint still insisted on supporting him because he's running on LP.

If Theflint had said he's supporting Asue because izzou supported Sanwoolu, I don't think people would've made much fuss about the motive behind his support for Asue.

Where is this proof of me giving "top to bottom" as reason for supporting GRV? I can get accusation of top to bottom for candidates I don't know, not those I know enough.

If there's proof of me saying top to bottom as reason for supporting GRV, I'd like to see it.

izzou:


Sanwo-Olu did not do enough?



Well, you said "For him", so i can live with that.

Obaseki’s failure is well documented by even the Obidients for Asue. I was surprised to see him owing 5 years pension..Someone that ruled for 8.

Or should we compare Sanwo and Obaseki?

This matter is already closed. Monday don win.

Make dem go sit down abeg, and stop explaining their decisions

It's sad that governance is so far removed from us the citizens that we're not able to accurately judge performance of governors vis a vis the resources available for them to work.

Lagos is and has always been Nigeria's most foremost city, it was before Tinubu and would likely continue to be so. Lagos compared to other major cities in its category within Africa or even West Africa would rank bottom on most government controlled indices of governance. Let's say we even break it down to state-level, is Lagos' government policy around education, waste management, healthcare, irrigation, flooding, urban planning, transportation and others?

How effective is governance in Lagos? The governor of a New York would always engage in more flamboyant and bigger projects than the governor of say a Kentucky, Idaho or Arkansas, does than necessarily make them better than the governors in these other states?

I mean Tinubu was governor same time as Donald Duke, I visited the place almost 12 years after he left office and I could still get a feel of a sanitation and town-planning policy that worked, even though the governors that came after weren't as effective as he was in that regard. I'm sure people here would say LAWMA was better than whatever Donald Duke had in place simply because LAWMA is better known and marketed.

These sort of nuance and demand for efficiency in governance was the message of GRV, and he's stayed consistent with this message, and that's why I gave him my support.

BlueRayDick:
Theflint1 are u from Edo Central senatorial district ?

Edo North

As long as we all line up behind LP candidates, that means they'd automatically win. Ask them why LP didn't win governorship in their states and it's crickets. Ask them why the support for Peter Obi that was getting around 30% of declared votes didn't take him over the finish line and it's even more silence...but na my support wan take candidate wey no fit get 3% over finish line

LPDAPC that was even attacking me for supporting GRV is talking. Pastor Umo would decamp to APC tomorrow and he'd be right behind him...Sabi guy

izzou:


How many Obidients stood for him? So far, the loudest and most influential online walked away.

What the fcck is Obidients for Asue sef? Una dey laugh Wike for anti party activities, una dey justify una own?

The truth is Obaseki carried una handicap. He was nothing you guys painted him to be.

He didn’t govern well. He cannot even win his Local government? Apart from Obi Tsunami in the SE, which sitting governor will lose his LG?

A whole incumbent cannot win his LG. That's enough proof that he was outrightly rejected.

No vex say una market wetin no sell. It happens

Once again, welcome to your anything INEC releases is gospel truth era, e no go tey before we revisit this your post.

izzou:


So how did LP supporters in Edo strengthen APC votes?

You just said the votes wouldn't make PDP win.

You are just saying anything to stick.

He's not just saying anything to stick, abi no be you make the post ni?

Zoning is important in the presidency and in all other states, but somehow Edo State has to be the exception.

I supported AI because he was the best candidate on the ballot, and the only one that could contend with the APC guy, you won't even find any post where I'm saying I support AI because he's from Edo Central, the person you're dragging supported Olumide Akpata, so wetin exactly you dey drag

You know what you're doing sha

Amigoss:






No be you talk this bolded?

Yes ooo,he really touch ground....As we dey drag LP supporters wey join PDP to collect bread,make we also dey drag una Lp supporters wey dey strengthen APC with vote in some states...

LPC for a reason.
