Peter obi had never had any chance to be the president of Nigeria.in 2023 election, any vote for Peter obi was a vote for Tinubu. I still secretly think obi works for Tinubu.

I no trust all these politicians

He worked for Tinubu to get over 6m votes 🤣

Una just funny sha

WesleyPepper:
More like it .
Reno Omokri got it wrong when he was waiting for Pandora to deliver Babangida’s birthday message .
Obi is more comfortable with condolences. That’s his forte

Nigeria don go ooo

Imagine what someone is talking about a legend in the football world

Make Una dey thank una stars that this is a faceless forum Sha

Cos I doubt you can spew these outside

owobokiri:
I'm not happy with the way the federal government and the Lagos state government treated Peter Rufai.
That man was Nigerias best goal tender for decades. Very humble. Very hardworking and hardly troublesome like some Super Eagles players of yesteryears.
Why they basically ignored him is beyond me..
Abi, he was a member of the Obidient movements?

The NFF should have taken charge of his burial

Reason why young footballers these days wants to grab all they can from the country while still in service cos when they are retired they are forgotten like they never existed or even rendered any service to this country

Softmirror:
This is Obi's style of campaign. You know it, I know it.

And is there any problem with that??

Moreso, this guy is a legend,.just so most Una don't even know Rufai at all

Softmirror:
Why do you think he went there if not because it is about his political ambition. When last did you see him moving from church to church. When election is around the corner Obi go turn Roman Catholic Pastor.

Whether for politics or not, he's being where he no go even see any favors

And Rufai is a legend by all standards, so visiting his family is not an issue at all

Na you get problem cos you think Tinubu will be president forever

Ask those who worked with Jonathan and Buhari today

ChiefOloye:
Obi, the desperate politician. Because Taribo West complained that Government didn't support Rufai's burial, boom baba alasodudu, a.k.a mourner-in- chief is at Awuwa Odofin, to commiserate with the family.
Does Obi really think he can contest the presidential election in 2027 and defeat President Tinubu or he's just doing all of these for 2039?

And what's the issue in visiting the family of one of the greatest goalkeeper Nigeria ever had

Even if na for politics, Rufai deserved this and more

When the president was being political about the wins of the falcons and d'tigress, it wasn't an issue

Did you see how Liverpool have been honouring Jota not to talk of a legend in Rufai

Make una dey rest ooo

Tinibu will leave but Nigeria go still remain ooo

Hehehehehe:
When did we discuss this? Btw do u even remember u are yet to respond to the question I asked in our last discussion? Am still curious to know it. "What do u do for a living?"

He/She posts and comment on Nairaland for a living now

Even his posts no dey every get head sef

personal59:
May God help us ooooo.... the father of corruption of modern day nigeria who introduce bribery to the senate and house of assembly because of power tussle with Atiku. Who also introduced bribery to the judiciary due to political witch hunt is talking about corruption. This man think everyone is a toddler in 1998.

So now that you're older, you should continue the bad habit??

Infact now, all the instruments and institutions of government are working just as the houseboy of the president and you think that's some progress right

nothingspoil70:
Electoral process was so compromised during the tenure of this baba that even the beneficiary of the compromise had to admit it and promised to do something about it. This man should please shut up

If Nigerians still dey reference over 20years to justify the ills of today, then we are not just ready to move

Is it the same knowledge you have 20 years ago, you have now?

Obviously No, our tomorrow should always be better than today and our today better than yesterday

pdppower:
Baba should not act saint now because he started the whole corruption thing

Humans are always known to want to cut corners, but it is the judiciary job to stand their grounds

And we all remembered how both the Lawmakers and even Judiciary shut down the third term bid even with the huge bribe allegedly that was offered

But now, we have a National Assembly that even housemaids have more freedom than and a judiciary that even slaves are better off.

So what are you saying exactly??

ZeemsPropeties:
It is not everything the state government should do. This is a job for the private sector. And, frankly, if someone hasn't built something there, it's because there's hardly any market there.

So Private sector go just rush there and start building abi?? 😁

And one day the owners of the land will come and tell the private sector that they are redefining their culture

Nigerians never really know wetin dey do us sha

funsho75:
But sometimes...
People needs to respect the code of institutions

There was a time Berekete in Abuja was shot down because of misconduct.

Am not say the government should suppress freedom of speech.

But if u want freedom of speech don't be a Radio journalist... Be a social media or investigative journalist

But as a Radio and TV journalist.. There are codes

Even on this platform, there are words u can't use if not u will be suspended, so are u saying Seun is suppressing freedom of speech

Where I don't like we Nigerians is we use emotions to see issues. I don't think anyone hv even done any research to no exactly what does guys did before making comments

We just come here and paint one person wrong base on the one side news we heard, we don't even no wat the station did, no news outlets is outlining wat they did

Why will they... The news have an purpose

Media all over the world are always controversial

Infact controversies sells more

The government are only afraid of the oppositions using the media as a tool to aggravate their shortcomings

If the government was really working for the people as they claim why should they worry about all these

Do you listen to TVC and Radio Continental abi wetin dem call am, prior to the 2015 elections??

Even Programs that were not politics program was used to attack GEJ and still their station was not closed

Infact our media are now more government friendly still they are still gagging them

Just imagine that the only news reportage channel na NTA

The APC government is just a plain hater of the media

aribisala0:
Obasanjo did not grow it

Obasanjo was never in charge of the CBN
You are making my point
This subject is something you don't understand
It is beyond your knowledge and everything you say reveals ignorance
If you know what foreign reserves actually are you won't be asking this question

What is the purpose of foreign reserves

What are they for?

Do you know?

But Tinubu grew his own according to his supporters right??🤣

004gist:
..

So what is your point now?
Because am asking how come obasanjo was able to grow the reserve to over 800% from 4billion to 40+ billion within 8 years despite low oil prices

It's the federal government policies, actions and inaction and business activities that grows these reserves.

And similarly with a not too woke economy ooo

Obasanjo practically headed an entirely manual economy

Now with the advent of tech, we should be blasting 100s of millions sef

But our president friends still want us to believe this is the best for our country

happney65:
You people can lie. As in pure blatant lie. There was no time oil prices reached $100 mark under Obasanjo. Haba. Infact OBJ meet it at $17 per barrel and it went to about $65 by the time he left in 2007.

It was only during GEJ that it went to $100 per barrel and pass the $100 mark

Like we tell you people, propaganda doesn't do government. You can win with propaganda. You can't rule with it because your ineptitude can't be hidden.

Eyin Opuro oshi.

https://www.thecable.ng/fact-check-no-oil-price-wasnt-100-per-barrel-between-1999-and-2019-as-buhari-claimed/

They need to justify their pay now, I used to not believe the fact that they are being paid for this their comments

But recent happenings of defending what's not defendable actually makes me began to think maybe they are actually paying these guys to do all of these sha

helinues:
There is something mutual about those who increased the FX they met. They all have political will.

President Tinubu is just 2 years old, oil price have not been that high but still saving .I am just imagining what our FX would be by 2031.

And to those who have been shouting it should have been more than that because of the subsidy removal, how about the state governors that their money have been increased for over a year now? How about different projects across the Nigeria regions?

Nigeria is in the right direction with president Tinubu

So projects were not done before this government?

Buhari did the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, second Niger bridge, even the completion fo the Abuja-kaduna rail all while paying subsidy and padding the naira as una talk

Still gave the country Npower, and some other social funds

It seems we even underrated buhari Sha

Cos with what bulaba is doing now, light at the end of the funnel dey blurry ooo

chopnaira:
Very true. Unlike the agulu man.

Stop being a kid man

We are talking about Presidents here, leave obi out of it

Your lord Tinubu is doing so poorly at the moment, that should concern you more

happney65:
You think Obasanjo is a tribalist like the current ones in power? Absolutely NO. OBJ doesn't care where the hell you are from as long as you can do the Job. Go Ahead.

And that is why since 1999,He had the best economic indices. These ones now blaming themselves didn't even have it worst as we did in 1999.

I keep on wondering what they would have said if they were the ones that took over in 99. They would have simply sold us off to China or somewhere else

Awọn Oluya

P.S
The Obasanjo years were even a period of very low oil prices. Yet,he still increased minimum wage that had been stagnant for years. This post deserves FP.
Mods over to you

In as much as Baba had his own shortcomings, but he handed the country to experienced hands

And he allowed most of them to work,

We all remembered how Oshiomole was on his neck all tru his administration

And he brought many young blood into the system

But what we have today is leaders appointing their stooges into offices so as to shut opposition off

Even our Senate were more vibrant then than today, imagine what's going on in Rivers and the Lawmakers, plus the judiciary just fold arms dey look

Even the media are being gagged on their neck now

God help us sha

RichBoy247:
Una never see anything. When you journalists were saying rubbish when he closed the station, I thought you journalists would match to the station with your army and the Obidients and open the station, so na only mouth una get

The problem with some of una be say you don't even know that all these affects you too

Until another government comes and start doing it to your people

I remembered when Rivers people were hailing Wike's Edo no be Lagos

Now wetin he dey do dem no even pass Lagos own

No governor, na just their stooge dey call the shots

Satazaa:
This is a very shallow opinion, Tinubu is barely two years in office so is his headline Minister Wike, The crazy turnaround in infrastructure development in Abuja alone in just two years is a wonder, insecurity still an issue but not as frequent as it used to be and with the capture of high profile terrorists leaders recently maybe that may mark a turnaround in the fight against insecurity, the dollar exchange rate has stabilized, no more fuel queues, external reserve is stable and rising, even after the Almighty okonjo iweala gave her verdict you guys are still foolishly critical, however I do agree that Tinubu needs to do better in terms of citizens welfare which is currently very poor.

Are you staying in Abuja currently??

Abeg make we no dey pamper our leaders

Imagine a state capital without a good transport network

They are all failures, no matter how you try to coin it

Moreso, the president took out subsidy, floated the naira, which naturally according to himself gave him more funds to spend, if this is the result in the medium term is still very poor

Nigeria as a whole is going through the worst living crisis in her history

Even the minimum wage can't get you shelter in most cities in this same Abuja

Make we just leave sentiment and talk to our leaders, they are not trying enough plain

seunmsg:
Peter Obi and his gang of haters will soon come to tell us that this is another wasteful project since Nigerians are hungry. They will ask how does this affect the price of a bag of rice in the market. But when they see something similar in another country, they will still come back to wail about Nigeria’s underdevelopment and lack of adequate infrastructure.

But this shouldn't stop the President from lifting the economy now

Every President have a legacy project, we still struggling to see the legacy project of Baba

He has not performed better than any of our past leaders in all honesty else we want to just lie to ourselves

Our development is still slow paced or not even existing at all due to the current cost of living crisis

So what are really the gains?

See as dem mend nigga's face Sha

He will remember those police for good for the rest of life

AFONJAPIG:
maybe he gets something he dey look for up there

Maybe Sha cos baba matter tire person sincerely

AFONJAPIG:
I'm in my late 30s and flying all the time is one thing I hate so much .. does it mean this man in his old age don't get tired being in the air all the time

Infact I just wonder ooo, many old persons I know always complain of this too not wanting to fly as much

But what do we know

baconline:
There was to be a law that limits the foreign travels of the president to less than 60 days in a year

Nigerian leaders have no regard for law, so even if it's being passed, they would not follow it

The Nigerian Government have proven to be one with less sensitivity

They would leave burning issues and deliberately on trivial matters

The Social media is based mostly on controversies, it sells faster.

So if they actually want to take people off it, you need to provide them with good jobs

Any other thing na wash

ObiORBiafra:
You spoke my mind. I wonder if the government really know about this contract job problem or maybe they are still waiting to get more companies over. It makes honest living discouraging

They know, but they are being bribed heavily by these guys

Communities have written countless petitions against them, their workers have protected countless times, so if they government claim not be aware then, it is just plain lie

Aydot99:
This is general knowledge ask any one that has worked in any of these Indian or Chinese companies here in naija. Pay is crap and they go use you any how. You dey find minimum wage. OYO

Sometimes I can't even blame our leaders cos imagine the guy you quoted as an adviser to a governor

Imagine what he's saying, something he's not even sure of and he's stating it as fact

I have seen people worked under the most extreme conditions under these foreigners and yet if you complain, you're either sacked or even arrested in your own country ooo

Maybe the maga thinks we have a working labour law in Nigeria Sha 🤣

Kushites:
Where is your evidence of this?

You people just come online and type your little prejudices without backup.

Show me one Nigerian being paid 'slave wages' by foreign companies.

Show us the person, say his job, and show us his pay check, let us see.

Don't we have a minimum wage in Nigeria?

My guy enter Sango in Ogun State and do some research from Factory workers and come back here

Some of una wey life sweet for think say naso he be for everyone Sha

I

fxexperts:
And you are the judge to know all of these, like you have really looked after all your brothers really well. just open your mouth and here you go all these are coming out. I wonder why some people are not using what they have upstairs to reason logically. It is not there for decoration.

What is your problem in life exactly??

It seems life don tire you and you're looking for who to show your frustration on

If you can't digest my comment as someone wey him head still normal na your life problem be that ooo

Nnamdipapa:
People should refuse to eork for 70k.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're a clown

You mean people surviving should refuse work or less than 70k??

Even the small business dey make 200k monthly as profit??

You're ignorant of happenings here amd you decided to show it in full glare
