This Seyi guy keeps raising the governance bar and redefining the leadership concept by actively engaging with and getting the people involved.

Kudos to him.

Oyo people are lucky. They should exploit this rare avenue to demand even more while constructively criticizing areas that need improvement.

I hope my yeye State governor can see what purposeful leadership means.

jumper524:
what loopsided appointment is this man talking about?

every region got their constitutional required appointment. apart from that every other appointment is politically influenced or should ba based on outstanding merit.

you didn't invest politically you shouldn't reap politically.

learn to be politically smart instead of media noises.

Where are you from?

fistonme:
my brother. This is politics not theory as you have been postulating. who ever thought an opposition party will defeat a ruling party as big as pdp? I will always tell people, in the game of politics don't think it is about all you can see. it is like tinted glass. The more you look the less you see. Tinubu will be president of Nigeria come 2023. I rest my case. let's just be patient till 2023. Patience is a virtue. let's imbibe it.

Should Tinubu fly the APC's ticket, then I assure you that Atiku will win the election before 10:00am (even before 30%) of votes have been cast!

Osinbajo is the only sellable SW APC candidate.

Are you a Nigerian? do you have friends and family in diaspora or home who are doing well for themselves but will ignore your request to send money all the time? before you call them stingy or wicked, here are some of the reasons why rich friends do not give out money;

1. They don't have enough: Enough is subjective, someone can earn as much as $100,000/annum but feel he's not earning enough, some people have these dreams of being wealthy and that salary isn't sufficient to get them there. So you have a friend/relative who works in a big firm abroad, you think he's rich, he thinks he isn't earning enough. Even millionaires have needs too.

2. You are not the only one making financial demands: You think you are his best friend because you went to secondary school together and were seat mate or bunk mates in the hostel so automatically he should be predisposed to meeting your needs, well there are primary school best friends, university best friends, first love, NYSC best friends, Neighbours, uncles, aunties, brothers etc who think their request should be met too. It is impossible to meet all these needs.

3. Making financial demand is never a one time thing: I had this habit of giving money to people who ask for financial favors the first time. I thought since they never asked for such before, they must really be in need. I soon found out that after that first time they run to me whenever they need money again, sometimes they space out the request like two months, some every month etc. I then realize that the $100, $200 i send them is never going to be sufficient, they will always come back for more. So i joined the God will provide gang.

4. Yahoo boys : Not every fraudster hacks into companies accounts, or forge the accountants signature, or even find lonely older women/men to scam. Some yahoo boys have resorted to begging, they send you message of how their dad is dying in the hospital, how their sister got arrested for a crime she didn't commit and they need a lawyer bla bla, they call these lies format and once you send them money they pop champagne and call you client.

5. General realization : One day i was going through my bank statement and i noticed i gave out about $500 monthly to family and friends. The same me who will walk into H & M, see a shirt of $40 and think it's too costly. I either buy it grudgingly or wait till it's on sale to buy. I realized i wasn't taking care of myself enough. Most people will come to this realization at a point in their lives.

This thread isn't limited to just people abroad, it include people who work and earn who are home based too. How do you cope with demands?Diasporans what made you rethink your generousity?

Feel free to add yours.

Number 2 is particularly incisive.
Nigerians with their entitlement mentality never consider the fact that there are scores of other people also looking up to you.

kehinde1588:
Can the North stand and win alone?

Even with their number, they can't win a United South. So why the over hyping?

You guys need to stop overrating the North. We know they have the number but has there been any election since 1999 a particular region did it alone without the support of another. Definitely NO.

El-Rufia himself knows power is returning to South come 2023. As far as APC exists as a party, they are returning power to the South.

I am super confident that if the ticket eventually goes to Tinubu, he will defeat anyone from the North considering his political network across all regions.

Politics is not played on social media and not by talking carelessly like El-Rufia has been doing. The real players don't make noise.

Tinubu is not an option dear.
A renowned robber in charge of our treasury? Common now!

It's high-time the FG embraced the fact that most Nigerians have since moved on from this Coronavirus that has proven to be not as lethal in Africa as earlier feared.

The fear factor amongst the masses is virtually gone, hence the seeming lethargy towards observing the prescribed safety precautions.

The government should open up our frail economy ASAP, lest we plunge ourselves into much bigger problems.

Cosbyrich:
And your family too except you run to Ivory Coast

Your illusory Tinubu presidency pursuit will fritter away soon enough right before your own eyes. You just watch, buddy.

In fact, in your own interest, you'd better perished the thought of a South Westerner occupying Aso Rock in 2023.

JAMO84:
Saharareporters! The result couldn't have been different. For obvious reasons, Buhari cannot win anything on that miserable fake news platform.

The only poll that matters was the one of March 2019 and we all know the result. We beat Atiku and his PDP like a Samba Drum!!!



I AM DONE TALKING

Kid, Buhari and his puppet at INEC only fabricated results for hapless Nigerians. Atiku won that election.

Cosbyrich:
Tinubu will become the president in 2023 and Nigeria will grow positively and exponentially rich.

Tinubu will be president of your family.
Supporter of criminals!

That's the thing about some of these whites. They'd do anything once they believe in a cause.

Genoa:
You UNN cannot even beat OAU covenant, Unilag, Uniilorin not to talk of Almighty University of Ibadan.

University of Ibadan(the best in Nigeria) the most popular in Nigeria. Hahahah.. UNth kor NuPN ni.

So Lagos is not the home of Nollywood again, wonderful.

Ibadan is also the home of Shooting stars, 3sc

The stadium in Ibadan is bigger than the one in Enugu and also the first in Nigeria.

The last two point shows that you ain't sensible, I will not engage you jare, someone more sensible should come forward.... I can't be teaching you simple things, see the future of Biafra.


I will not reply you again, I want someone sensible.

Can you see the train, high speed train beat that.


Hahahaha.

Oga, where's this train please?
Certainly not in Nigeria!

TheGodlessGod:
what has obaseki done in Edo state?

You can channel that question to Obaseki or his Spokesperson.

How long will governance suffer in Edo just because of the inordinate ambition of some greedy politicians who don't care a bit about the masses?

It's already a failed State, peopled with docile minds tossed around by a dunderhead president.
