PDP is a fraud.
Multiplier effect of corruption
1. A young man works for one of the state ministries. His salary is 120K. He makes 15,000 everyday on this desk (N75k a week) engaging in corrupt practices. As a result, he spends the daily cash as he cares. Living large and far above his legitimate income.
2. He visits the local joint every evening and buys drinks for friends, and area boys. They hail him. He is married, but has two girlfriends. His "income" is enough to take care of them. The Asun seller at his favorite joint is happy, the joint owner is happy.
3. Everyone was benefiting from his "income". Friends, family, area boys, joint owner, Asun seller, girlfriends, wife and his church. Life was good.
4. Then suddenly the ministry implemented the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at the beginning of PMB administration. His extra "income" disappeared and he had to adjust to the reality of event and live within his real income. That wasn't easy.
5. Initially he reduced his daily visit to the joint to 3 days a week and stopped buying drinks for everyone. He reduced the plates of Asun. The Asun seller started to find it hard to sell a full goat each day and resorted to buying half.
6. The young man's girlfriends started to feel the heat too. No more iPhone 10. The joint owner noticed a drop in sales. The young man finally stopped visiting the joint after a month. The area boys started feeling his absence. The effect cascaded down.
7. The young man started spending more time at home with his wife and kids. The family had to readjust to the reality of the new normal. His hair stylist noticed the young man suddenly stopped tipping. He will even wait for his N200 change after haircut.
8. Things are different. Times are hard, they all cry. The young man is blaming Buhari, his wife is blaming Buhari, the area boys are blaming Buhari, the girlfriends are saying Buhari must go, the joint owner is saying Buhari killed the "economy"
9. The Asun seller is cursing Buhari, the hair stylist is insisting Buhari is too old to rule. This is the story of our nation where corruption fuels the "economy". Those who are not engaging in it are benefiting from it.
10. This tread is not about Buhari's achievement or failure, but rather about the "multiplier" effect of corruption and how we have built a system largely driven by corruption. It's about policy implication (good or bad). It's about the choices we have made.
Finally, the young man had to withdraw his kids from what he called expensive primary school his kids attend. He added:"what are they teaching them there sef " Obasanjo didn't go to a private school. I just laughed .

Well said

Another campaign gimmicks...boys that are already exposed to flamboyant life Style, how much do you think you can use to tame them and for how long sir?

Prophet should predict 20 sure odds for boys too.

Why would he debate against a deputy governor when the governor is in town? Why didn’t obaseki speak at the debate by himself and let the deputy represent him at the other assignment that’s so important? He should have used the opportunity to showcase his intelligence and sell his candidacy to the world instead he chickened out.

“If you do not compromise yourself, God said I should tell you, you will one day rule this nation.”
Only time will tell

Someone that does not have any political structures and relevance in his home town of Ile Ife, he has never contested any elective post before and i doubt if any political party can give him their party ticket...Summary of it all is that he is a Big Clown.

''Election no be War''

See FFK playing the victim card here, someone that they suppose to sue for defamation of character has the audacity to sue daily trust...he forgot he has done worse to many people in the past...”He who comes to equity must come with clean hands”

VI boys flexing muscles with one another...any way it’s a family affairs

Happy Birthday to the mathematician..

DTaj:
Very true!

It's like PDP in the South-East and South-South too. I recall that in the days of Ibori in Delta State, once anyone won any PDP ticket, they started to celebrate even before elections were held, because other parties were almost non-existent.

In Lagos, today, anyone who buys a form for any major election (eg Governorship, Senate, House of Reps) under PDP is wasting his time. The political structure at the grassroots is damn huge!

You haven’t heard of a certain kako Are in Lagos? He was denied party ticket under ACN and he went to Accord and won his election against almighty ACN backed by all the powers that be in Lagos, He’s a grassroots politician to the core, ask anyone that stays around Ilupeju, Onipaun and mushin

NgwalandAbia:
Place we the great Igbos will dominate next.

Why are you always feeling so insecure? When will you stop all these inferiority complex and unnecessary obsession with the South west?

Where Is the nude picture now

Lying with so much audacity on a National TV

May God comfort the parent

SpecialAdviser:
How come any time someone makes a negative comment against Tinubu, you guys automatically believe its coming from an Igbo in this faceless forum. LOL

Check my comment and point to where I mentioned igbo

redsun:
Does it mean that responsibility of revenues collection with be eventually taken away from Tinubu? I guess the state is coming to terms with reality.

Why are you so pained and bittered ? Is Tinubu the cause of erosions in your village or state ?

IPOB miscrant always looking for every available opportunities to get @ Tinubu, a private citizen that haven’t ruled any of their region before.

Bia! Coordinate urself, where’s the video?
Modified; Kongi is a respecta of no one.

Typical Nigeria politicians ...always talking from both side of their mouth.
Trust any of them @ your own peril.

To the feminists in the house...you can now have the floor and let us have you opinions.

Let me park here, listen and learn from the elders

How many death sentence have they been able to carried out since 1999? Rev King is still chilling years after his sentence.

I so much love Nigeria politics, the more you look, the less you see, hope APC will be allowed to substitute the deputy governor aspirant to avoid another rounds of legal tussles....anyways fingers crossed.

instead of PDP to hit the street and start their campaigns they are attacking people that wont be on the ballot paper on election day, later when result is finally announced, they will be shouting rigging up and down.

Edoloaded:
Ebonyi state that has flyover is it doing better than EDO STATE.

APC E-RAT

So Ebonyi is part of South south?

Can’t this man just keep quite already ?

And Obaseki is not saying anything again on his detained Commissioner even though he was right there when he was arrested.

Hon Minister...it’s ok, it’s ok it’s ok, I said it’s ok...off your mic
