Of course, and Asiwaju is the one who sponsored all of them.

The day i drove a GLE 450, i dislike my Matrix and Toyota vehicles instantly. I see why celebrities and super rich people go for them Mercedes Benz, BMWs, Range Rovers, Rolls Royce and co over Toyota or Honda cars..

The comfort and performance will erase any thought of fuel consumption in your mind.

DissTroy:

I deliberately made no comment about the Cop28. Akwa Ibom had a special delegation.

Plus the Governor and Akpabio are on very good terms so Umo Eno has access to Tinubu. Probably the closest of the newly-elected Governors this year.

Still, the Nigerian delegation was too large. There's still no explanation for Toke Makinwa's presence and she's trolling Nigerians to rub it in.

it's been said that individuals can attend on their own free will. Now, we don't know if Toke sponsored herself there, after all, she's a Nigerian and she clearly can afford sponsoring herself. Anybody who is alleging or making conspiracy theories should prove it or forever hold his or her peace.

Also, it's been revealed that the Nigerian delegation isn't the largest, and China and Nigeria have almost, if not the same number of delegates. (If I'm not mistaken) So what is the noise all about?

She is actually threatening to sue some people who made some posts about her. It also seems there is a coveted blue badge which provides some benefits and this may be part of the reasons for the large numbers.

As to the noise - the campaign strategy that team obi has adopted is to paint this government as profligrante every opportunity they get. It is a tried and tested political strategy (republicans knew Hillary Clinton was going to run for president at some time so they kept attacking her and blowing things out of proportion so they would create an image in the mind of the electorate of a dubious woman. The end goal is to make the electorate think this is a wasteful corrupt government. What this means is that there will be true reports, false reports and overblown reports.

BlueRayDick:


Wetin be this ?

Is this government not a wasteful one ? Are we not seeing government officials still getting all the luxury they desire at tax payers’ expense while the common man is expected to adjust ?

Shey we no dey see before our own eyes money being spent by government officials like we are in a period of boom while the same government is expecting people to adjust and bear with them in this austere period ?


See there’s something called optics and any government that will succeed must learn how to manage optics . If a government wants to tell the people to bear with them while they fix the country ; the government must also show to the people it is willing to make sacrifices .

This far Tinubu’s government has not shown that and that’s truth not propaganda or any campaign strategy of Obi . Even people wey vote Kwankwanso dey complain same thing .

That is why you have Lexus, infiniti and acura

Toyotas and Hondas are budget / function cars. Mercedes and BMW are luxury / status cars

A real bit of irony - range rovers used to be rugged cars used by farmers in the UK and for expeditions.

It is really interesting and peculiar how some items transition to being luxury goods. Timbalands. Lobster.

Diamonds which are literally worthless stones that are good for absolutely nothing and which cannot be easily distinguished from zirconium and which have no resale value. Their becoming a status symbol is the power of cunny cunny marketing

GloriousGbola:


This is what I said

True reports
False reports and
Overblown reports

Wike Proposal to renovate VP residence true report
Alleged copa28 jamboree overblown report
Gbajabiamila renovation - false report

As an example somehow all THE eagle eyed people reporting on copa28 missed that NLCs Ajaero was also at Copa28.

As others have said the truth is somewhere in the middle.

If you know you know.

BlueRayDick:


What is overblown on the COPA28 report ? That the government didn’t fly as much as over 500 people with close to a billion naira ?

This government is a government whose actions have not matched their words . Almost everyone has had their income eroded yet the government is engaging in profligacy .

It is normal for the public to register their displeasure irrespective of their political leanings. Itsrm did not even vote any of the top political candidates yet he’s within his right to express how the Tinubu government has affected him directly or indirectly .

1) do you still believe the FG paid for and housed Dangote?
2) do you belive the FG paid for and housed Wale Tinubu and Oando?
3) do you belive the FG paid for NLC?
4) do you belive the FG paid for Akwa Ibom and Cross River Delegations?
5) do you believe the FG paid for Toke Makinwa?

please go through NAptu2's diary. he did extensive research on copa28. you sha like reading

i pointed out that somewhow the eagle eyed people who saw toke makinwas name in the list missed ajaeros name. that should already show you it was a partisan report.

but let us agree to disagree.

There’s no partisan list anywhere.

Itsrm:


Not just buying and waiting. Buying and investing it. That's why the idea of just buying usdt and waiting does not make any sense to me.

Meanwhile, like I always say, fvck blind patriotism. Anyone still saving money in naira is a fool. You can't lose betting against the naira. This was from the official window today.

GloriousGbola:


i will remind you that i had pointed out that several names on the list were almost certainly not sponsored by the govt - but because blood dey hot you just stopped short of calling me stupid [or did you]

the government was chasing foreign investors and it seems they were able to secure some good deals for nigeria. that is the ultimate koko here.

you know better than to believe that FDI does not require one on one engagements between officials and potential investors.

responsible journalists would have actually taken the time to prune the list down - but that was not the goal

but let us agree to disagree. or let izzou come and start jumping on me again




NLC's ajaero was in dubai for COPA28. there is no way the eagle eyed people who found toke makinwas name could have missed his name. somehow all the journalist reporting on nigeria sponsoring different people missed ajaero. no questions about what is nlc leader doing here?

raumdeuter:


Not everyone is skilled enough to trade and make a profit without running into scammers or just lose the money. At least by buying and waiting you are not losing much value

I will like anyone who has done a personal business and made it from the business share their experience. Cos in Naija not everything look thhe way they seem

There was a time na Night club, everyone will point to how night clubs are making it not knowing say the night club owners are just front for yahoo and drugs. The sales from these clubs do not tally with the lifestyles of the club owners

Not everyone is skilled enough to trade in FX and make a profit without running into scammers or just lose the money.

BlueRayDick:


Ajaero was definitely on the initial 1.4K delegates , journalists only pointed out the anomalies on the list like Toke Makinwa , Dayo Israel and co .

That is what the press is expected to do; shine torchlight on grey areas in governance , put the government on the defensive to defend their decisions convincingly to the citizens . Press is not expected to massage the ego of the government when they are reneging on their own promises .

GloriousGbola:


and Ajaero was not also an anomaly?

people were shouting what is governor doing there, what is chief justice doing there, what is PA doing there - somehow did not think the same question should be asked about a labour leader?

i am even surprised tehy did not claim FG was bribing him.

Itsrm:


I have decided not to argue with anyone again on this COPA28.

If people can see blatant wastage and say its just 422 people, what exactly am I doing still arguing?

GloriousGbola:


this here ehn. in nigeria, the more you look, the less you see. you really do not know how it is people are making their money.

i will always refer to the warren buffet quote - never invest in a business where you do not understand how they are making money.
also if you are in a game and you cant find the maga - thats because you are the maga

look at all the people whose houses are being demolished in lekki. i guarantee you some of so called real estate experts who sold them the land or houses knew exactly what was up. i have a classmate on my whataspp group who is always selling different 'high brow estates' and seems to be making a lot of money from it. right now i am looking at teh guy with side eye. because i am sure some of the estates he is selling have k leg that will show after 5 years after you have bought.

i am sure you heard about that bukka hut co founder who reportedly committed suicide last year. i suspect na crypto guys run the man street.

You dey argue with person wey e head dey inside government yansh.. Willingly might I add.

You are wasting your time.
Someone that didn't have the balls to produce the number of delegates to defend the government.

Someone who is talking about Toke suing people like that changes the Fact that over 400 people were taken to Dubai.

You are watching a master stand on the bidness of stupidity Bros. 🙏
