Peter Obi, Kingsley Muoghalu, Chukwuemeka Soludo, Okonjo Iweala, Sullivan Chime, Ben Akabueze.

Still thinking of who to pick in the pack.

Modified...
Picking now amongst

Muoghalu, Soludo, Akabueze, Ken Nnamani(former Senate president), Chime(former Enugu Governor).


Just trying to narrow it down, these were down to earth guys but Peter Obi, OUK, Ekweremadu, Umahi, Uba brothers etc are a no no no.

But

Obi, Iweala, Chime have tasted power to some extent and may have been corrupted somehow

Why is it that it is only your blog that has been carrying all these fake news all because you want traffic? Desist abeg

Why are Nigerian fighting to Stay at Other people's country?

Better write in your native language or in Afrikaans instead of disgracing yourself in this despicable grammar you are typing, is this what you were taught in school in SA? So much for black SAfers education, no wonder you lots can't compete with other Africans in anything. Just be counting yourself lucky that the whites developed that place that you blacks have starting destroying. Zimbabwe comes to mind

candidtalk:
You people should shut up and refrain from your constant obsession of using everything to rubbish Yorubas. Yorubas, unlike others in Nigeria like you, reason without recourse to sentiments and emotions. We are not swayed by propaganda, pretence and 419 leadership the likes of OBJ have mastered. OBJ concocted an image of 'visionary leader' on the international stage yet what is his real achievement at home that South Africans and Britons are not aware of yet his Yoruba kinsmen know well and were a direct victim of?

Firstly OBJ began the demise of modern Nigeria when he schemed out the visionary and ultra-competent Awolowo for the impotent and clueless Shagari who never sought to lead and was just a conduit for the looting of our commonwealth. We all remember OBJ did same with the Unpresidential GEJ who would have been content drinking ogogoro on his porch rather than taking on the complexity of Presiding over Nigeria. GEJ's boss, i.e Yar Adua, that OBJ callously foisted on Nigeria, when other competent leaders were plentiful, shows how cruel and sadistic your 'hero' is with his action of endorsing a dying and distracted man as President so he, OBJ, could continue ruling by proxy in the background.

We then move to OBJ's reign as President. The corruption him and Atiku supervised, like $16 billion abracadabra for power supply, is best forgotten. This is before we even go into how OBJ imposed killers and looting gangsters as PDP Governors and leaders of all South Western States bar Lagos Tinubu managed to hold on to. Who does not remember the menace called Lamidi Adedibu that OBJ hailed a 'Generallisimo' ?

It really is shameful that you guys have to be given a history lesson daily because of your hatred of Yorubas that prevent you seeing we are the most rational and most objective thinkers in Nigeria today. That OBJ fools the entire world bar his own Yoruba folks is testimony to the political sophistication of the average Yoruba. While foreigners can be forgiven over their worship of the 419 master called OBJ what is the excuse of Nigerians like you who should be aware of what OBJ has done to ruin Nigeria more than any other leader in our history post independence?

There are some kids here you don't quote because it gives them a sense of importance, just go through their posts, smile and move on.
They are not worth the stress or your time for any reason

psucc:
In fact if an average Nigerian will prefer relocating than a job that pays a living wage.

We are living dead here.

Who are the "we"? Abeg speak for yourself next time

jidemoh:
I think we should look at this from the standpoint of the larger benefit to the country as really, N1 is insignificant to the man on the street.

Fewer loading at the depots means the propensity to import fuel is equally reduced which eases the pressure on the need for dollar which in turn eases pressure on foreign reserves.

Oil dey your brain unlike these ones who don't know nor understand what is being talked about, theirs is just to comment so that they can be noticed

Wailers will wail, if the price has increased by 1 naira they'll be ones to start insulting the government.
From the drop in figures in loading of fuel, it means Nigeria had been subsidizing the fuel consumption in the subregion with billions and the FG is trying to correct the anomaly but wailers must wail, no wonder the Beninese president was seen begging Buhari recently in Japan to open the border because he knows what his country gains from it all but wailers must wail.

For those crying that foreign rice is more expensive now, this is the right time to become a millionaire, get to your village and request for a piece of land to grow rice and thank me later.
Imported rice kee una there.

ItsMeAboki:
Arrogant and disrespectful as usual; you ppl will never change; after insulting the country by calling it a zoo, you still expect the same country to come to your ppl's aid - for an issue that you are not entirely blameless. SMH
Why do you ppl seem to always have a penchant for inciting and annoying others to dislike you?
Its no wonder the SA's are giving you guys real zoo treatment.

They'd still be the same people who would blame the FG if it doesn't make any move and later they'll start crying of hate from other Nigerians when they've been the ones spreading the hate earlier

Quite touching mehn, good to be good.
Some would forget the good deeds from others but he remembered after a long while, God bless your heart

salford1:
The whites have even started leaving the country for them. They are now applying for PR in Australia, Canada and other EU countries.

Yet these Nigerians will stay put and risking their lifes. If it's all about being abroad, why can't they try Botswana and Namibia just across the border and are relatively peaceful or go as far as those countries you mentioned, must it be SA where things like this happen almost every year, it occurred earlier this year and now again

KidsNEXTdoor:
it wasn't all this hostile... Just started few years back

The video really sent some chills all over me, how can you be in a place where you ain't sure you'd be coming out dead or alive, God forbid I see myself in such situation.

KidsNEXTdoor:
They make more over there.....

And their economy is far better

Is that the incentive for them to go risk their life's in a hostile place, looking at the environment sef, you'd think you were around Oshodi of those days when it was still rowdy. I can't risk it abeg.

Watching that video, it just looks like a typical bend down boutique market in Nigeria and you mean someone would leave Nigeria and go risk his life because of this type of job?

Mercygaga:
The fact is that live and properties of Nigerians in south Africa is at stack and it needs to b fully and legitimately protected. If his going will end the attack on our people over there fine and good. But let's value life first before any relationship with any country

The attacks started since 2006 and occurs every year, in fact it happened earlier this year and now this.
Why hasn't the appeals and various meetings Nigeria has had with SA yielded anything and you think this one will finally stop it. Buhari fall my hand abeg, no wonder SAfers had been confident that we can do nothing afterall.

It is at times like this that I miss late Abacha, Buhari really fall person hand o.
I thought the visit should've been the other way round since SA started the problem in the first place, seriously disappointed to say the least.

eddybongo101:
So Daddy freeze campaign against tithing & prosperity is gradually seeing d light of the day...

You saw how they demonized Daddy Freeze then for telling them what the bible said about it, some even called him the Antichrist but see how quiet everyone is now because it's Benny Hinn, hypocrites everywhere

Papyk:
I know you are a pastor, that was why you wrote this trash.How does prosperity preaching a blessing to every community in Nigeria?. Nigeria is the poorest nation next to Yemen. 92 million in Nigeria are poor people out of 200million population. Nigeria is one of the most corrupt country in the world despite the fact that you have almost 1o of those business Centres (CHURCH) in every street. Women are now afraid to spread their pants outside now, thanks to your prosperity preaching. OUT OF TEN RICHEST PASTORS IN WORLD. 7 are from Nigeria which is poorest capital in the world. Jesus Christ had to borrow donkey to travel but The Nigeria GOs with their family CRUISE AROUND with private jet. Jesus Christ feed 5000 people, Today, More than 500000 feed those CON ARTIST you call GO. DO I BLAME THEM? Of course NO. I blame their clients (CHURCH MEMBERS) Who cannot read and understand Bible them self.

You nailed it and especially @the bolded, one fascinating thing is that when you try telling them about the fallacies performed in these churches, they fight back with all the strength in them.
They have same Bible their prophets, pastors, priests have but cannot read it, only what they are told in the church is what is right

gwarotango:
Is that what they told you? And besides who told you the UN entertains notions to breakup countries for no juat cause?

Most of those countries he even mentioned are having separatist issues too.

Morocco with Western Sahara, western Sahara wants to leave

Ivory coast, north and south have been having issues since after their civil war few years back

Tanzania, Zanzibar and the mainland

Equatorial Guinea, mainland and island

DR Congo, some provinces and the rest of the country

Even Ghana,there was a time when the former British Togoland that merged with Ghana wanted to go back to join their cousins in Togo

Not forgetting Cameroon and its anglophone area
Senegal and the Casamance region
Angola and Cabinda region.
Mali divided into north and south till France came in, the scar is still there

These are the ones I can remember for now, they now expect these countries to support any dissolution of other countries when their own unity is not yet guaranteed, I laugh in Xhosa and Zulu

Okoroawusa:
GEJ was Vice President for 2 years n President for 4years. What did he do about it?

They just love talk all because of the hate for Buhari, OBJ and GEJ were there for a combined 14 years and did nothing about the lopsidedness, it is Buhari that is for barely 4 years that they are blaming already

Stingman:
Areaboy...why not day dream about Nigeria? Abi na bad thing to dream too? It means they are dreaming of good thing and you are not happy about it. Due to your poor leadership for decades Nigeria has become a failed state where only very few people proud of it.

Did you see anywhere I said you and your friends shouldn't day dream? Please continue abeg, I wasn't discouraging it, it's good for your health

kettykin:
My only request is this,let Nigeria nationalize south Africa companies doing business in Nigeria. Then Nigeria will understand who the real giant of Africa is

So you've never read anywhere that Barclay's Bank and British petroleum, British companies were nationalized and Britain did nothing.
We all know you wish SA invade Nigeria so as to give you Biafra, FYI even if SA invades us under any guise, you would still not get your Biafra so continue dreaming.
Instead of you to be appealing to Boko Haram to help you get Biafra you are rushing for SA's help

vedaxcool:
Ipob are obviously a very foolish association of drunken imbecills who day draeam like drug up hooligans.

Day dreaming no be small thing o

kettykin:
If biafra is realised, Nigeria will cease to be giant of the continent or even giant of west Africa . The African continent will have about 6 giants like Europe.
No single country will dominate the polity or bully other African countries to follow their foolishness.
South Africa will be the giant of south ,while Kenya will be the giant of east and Egypt will be the giant of north east africa while Morocco will be the giant of north west Africa.
West Africa will likely be split between ivory coast, Ghana and Nigeria, while biafra might join Cameroon, Congo, etc or remain in west Africa .
This is the new political outlook most African countries might pursue than having a useless good for nothing giant of Africa that is guant6at nothing in particular except population

Nigerians and fellow Africans, I hope you are enjoying the drama from this guy.
Bros why not get Biafra first before day dreaming, first thing first na. You are still begging other African countries to support your Biafra but you are not telling us how you are convincing them, day dreaming.
Just go take a cold shower and take your lunch then rest

gidgiddy:
Igbos are long overdue for their own separate country!

There are more Igbos than the entire population of Djibouti, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea, Lesotho, Guinea Bissau, Gabon, Botswana, Gambia, Namibia, Eritrea, Mauritania, Central African Republic and Liberia all put together!

Igbos are long overdue for their own country!

Seems it's high time I started caning you on nairaland since you don't want to learn, declare your separate country make we rest.
Is your name Kanayo; continue to beg?

FamousMonk:
2012..
I'd never forget that year..
Thats when I jumped out of that hell hole called Nigeria..
And people are jumping in..
Wonders shall never end..

Funny enough we here ain't missing you, people who are more interesting and have seen prospects that you couldn't see are pouring in to take advantage of it, so it's a win win for everyone

Belmot:
Sometimes it really hard to imagine the kind of brain you guys have. Your level of reasoning is baffling.. South Africa to support Viagra or biafra to get back at Nigeria. I no you are not aware there are sececionists movement in South Africa too. Go and read about Orania republic.

Most of them don't reason with their brains before coming online, they just talk and type before their thoughts even register.
Some are even ready to support the attacks in SA as far as SA promises to support their phantom Biafra

kettykin:
The whole francophone world will support biafra and other African countries that have this hatred for the monster Nigeria has turned out to be where herdsmen now have rights over human life.

But my fear is the north African nations like Egypt, Niger ,chad etc

Na wah o, so to ask Nnamdi Kanu to come and declare Biafra is this difficult and you are now banking on other African countries to come help you, I laugh in Xhosa.
Why not tell South Africa and other African countries to declare a war on Nigeria so as to liberate you since you know you are incapable of all the earlier boasts

All these IPOBians sef, always dreaming.
They know they can't get Biafra after all the boasts, they've waited for France, the US, UN, China, Russia etc to help them get their Biafra but nothing yet, it is now to hope on SA to come to the rescue.
What stops them from declaring their Biafra today after all Ojukwu didn't obtain any agreement with Nigeria before he declared Biafra, what are these ones waiting for? When we say they and their leader are cowards now, they get angry

gidgiddy:
If that is the case then some sections of this country should be allowed to exit Nigeria and have their own country

We cant be in Nigeria to be fighting for presidency

What is holding that section of the country stand alone and form their country, Ojukwu didn't wait for anyone before forming his

Sctests:
And I repeat, yorubas treated their politicians in PDP like pariahs between 1999-2003, yet weren't denied their political rights in PDP, [s]so why do you support injustice against the East if not for your rabid hate? [/s]
Let APC try zoning the presidency to SW, and bear the brunt, rigging won't work this time. All loopholes are being close right now at the election tribunal and Supreme Court. Be guided.

I can see that that persecution complex is disturbing you, better go see a doctor before it gets out of hand, you've been educated enough to know that nobody is stopping anybody yet you count it as hate because it won't be zoned to the SE then later you all rush to PDP and vote for a northerner
