if peter obi won d pdp presidential election will u say he dinstinguish himself?

Y didn’t he distinguish himself by turning down atiku offer to b his vp in 2015?

So the moment he saw he won’t win the ticket n moved to Labour Party was what made him distinguished himself?

Do u realize some 5 months ago peter obi was with this same people u now label evil n they were rocking together?
There's a fallacy explained by Doug Hubbard called Exsupero Ursus fallacy.

It summary means that because a particular solution isn't a perfect one doesn't mean that all available solutions are the same.

So within imperfectly flawed solutions, one should minimize bad effects by adopting the [perceptibly] least flawed solution.

The Obedient movement (I suppose, not a member) appears to believe that he is the least flawed candidate.

Of course this is debatable.
Foreign AffairsRe: World Reacts As Missiles Rain Explosions On Ukrainian Cities by Asour:
Esseite:
The Ethiopian war is an internal conflict and not cross country war.. the point I am trying to buttress is
because Russia is a stronghold worthy of rebuttal, the allies of Ukraine are only sending thoughts and prayers alongside some ammunitions despite great mayhem on ukrainian side..
But Afghanistan is an internal situation too
The west got involved?
The west's involvement in issues is primarily for 2 /3 reasons.

- All conflicts (ultimately) have global implications if
not stemmed. E.g. refugee/immigration crisis, supply chain disruption, economic crisis. Etc.
- They are against Strongmen administrations .
- Some say US hegemony. But I don't believe.

See how all of them are standing on the sidelines.. if it was a muslim country, black country or less white country, ships and foreign armies would have infiltrated the country..
THIS IS NOT TRUE.

There's a war in Ethiopia now. In Tigray region.
Ships & Armies haven't been sent there.

In any case, I suspect that if Foreign armies are sent to Ukraine, you'll still have a problem with it.

That means you've never heard of a brilliant guy named Tobechi Onwuhara who could have created a software company with his knowledge but chose to be a criminal. There are many Nigerians like him all over the place.
Because the Tobechi had criminal tendencies he failed to kill. I.e. Tobechi (if he wasn't an IT genius ) would have taken to another crime he could achieve.

People in jail for yahoo aren't in jail for using the 'technology'. They had dubious tendencies AND acted on them.

2016 - Messi missed penalty. His team mate missed too- Argentina lost — that's the one you decide to hold onto.

Heading toward recorded damnation.

Various CANCERs are still killing people.
My Boss died of Cancer in 2017.

Sickle cell anaemia still ravaging.

Stop being flattered by shiny apps & modules.

I think you are too proud and I don't know what you have got that is given you that confidence

You are already sensing that her siblings will start being on you if you marry her

Since you feel you are capable, you shouldn't be afraid of what ways you can help your future in law


You met her as a virgin and an sure you broke her virginity,
Do you know how many temptations she went through before falling into your hands

Anyway, you are about loosing a treasure if you keep looking at standard or no standard

Pick her if you want and if you don't want leave her to go early
That's not a good assessment.

Nigeria is quite a poor country.
Most people are just a sickness away from Poverty.
Expectations of shouldering responsibility by a family just starting out would really limit their quality of life.

I'm all for assistance, I have been helped plenty.
But often, as soon as it becomes an obligation, it's hard to stop.

Virgin as nothing to do in Nigeria constitution anymore
While you're right that it doesn't matter much,
IT is a good proxy to assess behaviour though.
ALL proxies have exceptions BUT some are useful.

See it this way:
It is easier for someone who smokes cigarettes to become a social/chain smoker THAN for someone who has never smoked.
N.B. easier doesn't mean impossible just degree.

I'm sure if you do you'll discover she alone footed the bills with her teaching job by going for part time studies.....Guy forget that shit of "she's from a poor family" talk. You're an adult so if you're scared of her family demanding from you,clear her now that your cash is yours alone and you can give or choose not to give....

Tinubu’s good deeds in the past is one of the major things working for him till today. That’s why he’s still very relevant and influential when others who were governors at the same time with him have gone into obscurity.
You're right he's very relevant in governance.


The only time he isn't deemed relevant is when the performance of this administration is adjudged.
Then he's totally uninvolved & blameless.

But for the goods, well he was the architect.

Thank God for gen Z generation..This generation might be the worst in terms of morality but they are the ones giving us hope of "the golden rule"

You see the baby boomers and gen X generation,those set of people,up to 65% of them are wicked and selfish in their hearts..All they know is morality,decency and discipline but they don't have intergrity.

Props should be given to the millennial generation because they paved the way and changed the narrative for the gen Z generation.

OP sue that greedy man,let him pay for his greedy actions..although honestly I will tell u,u don't need validation on nairaland...You just need a good and trusted legal practitioner to tell u what u are doing is the way to go.

Jonathan too was ousted by the US because of homosexuality. So it was said.

Has PMB instituted Homosexuality now in Nigeria?

The funny thing about alluding everything that happens in the World to the US/CIA is that YOU make them seem omniscient & Omnipresent.

Give me an example of 1 single man who was poached and held by the US — against their wishes— to help innovate for the US.

Just 1 example.

American gets millions of immigration requests yearly. More than any country in the World. Why's that? That doesn't look to me like poaching.



Elon musk was born in South Africa. He immigrated to Canada — and later to the US. He's now presumed to be the richest man. You think he wouldn't have loved to do all that in SA IF HE COULD?

I am 100% sure you don't take Chinese drugs nor fly in Chinese planes too. I'm also 100% sure you're using an American developed operating system.
Android, iOS or Windows now.

I'm also sure that American Social mediums are your favourite. Even though you use others.
WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitter.

Why not, QQ, WeChat, Vkontact or Taobao?

No one's turning anyone into slaves.

Last I checked, a man born by a Kenyan Migrant was the President of the US. Individuals of Nigerian descent are Mayors, City council men etc. In the US too. Things they couldn't even manage to do if they were here.

America is FAR from perfect BUT no single man can declare himself emperor in the US as we've seen in eastern Europe, Russia & China where single men hold whole countries Ransome.

How can they control the Nobel prize?

A prize that was instituted by a Swedish Businessman in the 19th century — when America was less than 200 years.

The Swedish still control the Nobel prize.

As for the World reserves, you seem not to understand how that works.

If you think printing more $ is what makes the US$ strong why doesn't China, Russia, or even Nigeria print more of theirs too? I mean simple solutions, like you've suggested should be easy to follow. right?

I get that you don't like the US (and they can be very haughty). That fine. But to deny their greatness AND how they've massively contributed to the world too makes you look funny.
