WE LOVE YOU BABA ATIKO SAI BABA ATIKU

ATIKU KAWAI ATIKU KAWAI 2023

My friend why Atiku?

Ebubu:
Peter Obi is joking.

He will definitely carry 3rd. And people will applaud him for making such impact with just less than a year of campaign into the election.

Victory remains between Atiku and Tinubu


While Anambra traditional kings council support Atiku, Enugu PDP family are supporting Tinubu and Umahi is in Ebonyi scheming an APC victory. Ikpeazu in Abia is angry with Atiku and siding Wike to give Tinubu votes. Uzodimma is doing his best for APC.


Omo

If Obi takes third, it means you also took third because in all honesty, he’s the only formidable candidate that is truly interested in turning things around. It’s in our hands.

What kind of match is this? This is oppression. As if Mancity and Nigeria Under 21 are playing

My brother it's what I was just saying above

Man City dey play football abeg. Possession of 88% to 12% against a whole 2016 PL champions.

Maddison just touching the ball for the first time at 19 minutes.

Guardiola still remains my best coach of all time. Pass and move. Every player is flexible.

Ekundayo7574:
Trash in a working country Pandora should be in jail by now for looting anambra state while he was in office, I feel for those poor people I'm the state, but nothing is working what a pity

If Obi a man without a single effcc case should be in jail, where should Tinubu be?

Perfectbeing:
A man that said education is not for the poor can't be compared to Tinubu who provided free education.

It's these type of facades I'm talking about. There's no such thing as free education. Countries in Europe, their governments pump billions of Euros from tax collected into education. Even in USA, students run into debt just to get educated.

If your kids' school was free in Nigeria, you'd not send them there. Besides, in my opinion, it's also a strategic incentive to make students work harder knowing it's coming from their parents' pocket directly and I think it yielded results.

In conclusion, Obi just strikes us as someone who is willing to work for us all and we need that.

Perfectbeing:
All those things you wrote up there are rubbish..

If you believe Peter Obi was a better governor than Tinubu, then there's no need arguing with you.
Farewell.

It is not rubbish, it's your country's economic history and it's in a book. I totally understand where you're coming from, you also want the best for our country like I do but if you're not careful, you'll miss it!

Concerning Tinubu, Eko Atlantic is a very laudable initiative but it still doesn’t do anything for you and I. It only puts more money in the govt pocket but that revenue needs to go into quality schools, important infrastructure, affordable housing, into us! I hope you understand what I’m driving at.

Concerning free education? It’s a facade. You dare not take your own kids to public schools. You don’t even know how much good education cost in the west.

Infrastructure is lacking heavily for a population of 20m. Have you seen the wait time at the BRT? It’s insanity. There is no reason why we shouldn’t already be using rail like Addis Ababa of 5m population and even lesser revenue. It takes only 7 years to complete even complicated subway systems in saner cities.

Concerning Tinubu's IGR? Lollll!! No city in the world uses IGR to brag. It’s mostly just tax! Let me explain what Tinubu’s IGR meant. He increased tax on individuals and private companies which are mostly foreign companies. In turn, these companies simply increased the cost of their services and products they were offering poor Lagosians. These meant Lagosians had to work harder which reduces HDI, BUT this is not a bad initiative, ONLY IF the proceeds of the tax is used to increase the standard of living of the proletariat which Tinubu did not do as seen in the HDI, in our lives.

If you really want to see Lagosians' standard of living for what it is, quit looking at the flashy things like the G Wagonz of oil companies CEOs in Lekki/VI or the things you strived to acquire yourself and then look at how LASG has helped you protect these things.

Perfectbeing:
If we judge the top 3 candidates by their track records when they were in Government, even you cannot claim you don't know who would win.

I see.

The economic development you see in Lagos today is as result of a something called OPPRESSIVE CAPITALISM that was kickstarted in Lagos when Nigeria was a colony. The same reason why Europeans chose to exploit Nigeria through Lagos, is the same reason why foreign investment troop into Lagos; it’s strategic location - which has now given it economic history. And this has nothing to do with the governors. Whatever development you see in Lagos is private.

For the government, one of the tools in which we can measure government performance is HDI. The tax from the private sector/foreign investment can be used to improve human development through life expectancy, standard of living and education. If you live in Lagos, you’d know that all of these are terrible. Life expectancy is 61 years(difficulty in transport, traffic gridlocks, insecurity etc), standard of living of the proletariat is low(no housing, no water), the sch system is so bad, public sch teachers don’t send their own kids to public schools. Concerning healthcare, Tinubu still flies out for basic check up. What Tinubu knows how to do best is find the loopholes in govt.

If Abia, Zamfara or Benue was in that location, they would be the Lagos of today irrespective of the governor.

In conclusion, using HDI, there are definitely worse governors than Lagos state governors but you must be able to measure the ratio of the state’s history, factors of production, strategic location which all defines their ability to create revenue and then the revenue to the HDI. Lagos revenue is not matching human development at all.

Don't get me started on Tinubu's corruption allegations because I suspect it is the cause of the redundancies in human development in Lagos.

tctrills:

Please mention just one county that took loans to build infrastructure and the infrastructure paid for itself.
You would not find any examples of such countries in the last 50 years

This made me look up information on Addis Ababa light rail and apparently, they're in huge debt. I'm really shocked! They owe almost $500m to China export-import bank and they've only managed to make a profit of $12m at a running cost of $120m.

I can't even begin to imagine how much Lagos owes for the light rail because I'm pretty sure they've exceeded what they planned out in their feasibility study with inflation and all of that.

I think I understand. This shows that you cannot buy everything, sometimes you have to figure it out yourself.
It's just like a man who wants a wheel barrow to fetch clay to build a house. He goes to his neighbour's home who owns unlimited wheel barrows to buy one but the neighbour says the wheel barrow will cost him his house. He agrees to it and acquires the wheel barrow and completes his house and celebrates. But the neighbour steps in to take his house. Now his neighbour has unlimited wheel barrows and two houses while the man has just a wheel barrow and no house. He can't sleep inside a wheel barrow nau lol na mumu be that.
What he could have done is learn HOW TO BUILD his own wheel barrow.

Perfectbeing:
Like what Anambra people enjoyed under him abi?

You can see CONSCIOUS EFFORTS by Peter Obi in Anambra geared towards bettering the lives of the people of Anambra through HDI.

I do think there are several aspects he could have done better as governor but overall, he's still the best candidate by a large margin.

Who do you think is the best candidate and why?

pinkPUSSY:
No b tab I dey see for that table?

Tinubu and tab

Lmaooo

Tab spelt backwards is Bat

Trinitycian:


That guy is not in Kaduna, LOL. He was bragging and asking me where I lived until I revealed my location.

Na their normal chest beating. Kyase also bragged but backed off after I dared him.

How can you claim to live in KADUNA and still brag that Tinubu will win?

NOT POSSIBLE! Kaduna wey I dey stay? To see 1 Tinubu supporter na herculean task. So anyone claiming to live in KD and saying Tinubu will win there is a FRAUD.

Honestly, this is the funniest thread I've seen all week. That Ihordspy guy is quite something. Dude wanted to freestyle, go off script to gain more APC points but e don lule!

I'm sure his APC propaganda boss is currently issuing him query for this misbehaviour and he will deduct 20k from his 43k salary

Billions of naira should be set aside for the rehabilitation of lots of inner roads in Lagos.

And street lights in inner roads. When we're not in a village.

So it took Buhari 8 years to CHANGE the currency
So this is the standard of Nigeria's presidency. Me I can do it in 3 weeks. Hire me!

anonimi:


Did you notice that I said other resources, in addition to money?

What works are you doing to educate people to reach that angry/frustrated level that makes widespread & sustained revolution inevitable naturally?

I read a book that said Europeans owe us Africans a duty to spend as much billions of dollars as they spent for colonization in reeducating Africans but you and I know that's not gonna happen since the regression of Africa will always be of great advantage to Europeans.
Instead of them to sell awareness, they're selling guns to us.

I was part of the Endsars Movement and I'm an active member of Movement Of The People which was reignited by Seun Kuti. You should join the MOP. You can find them on Instagram and they'll tell you how you can help create awareness.
I also take my time to educate people here on NL, even though it's a lot of work.

anonimi:


How much of your own money and other resources have you invested into this revolt?
Are the corrupted political class not from among the masses that you want to revolt? Political class from your ward level, to LGA upwards

Revolution is not a financial fight, it happens when it happens. When a certain level of the populace reaches a certain level of education, awareness which in turn makes you angry/frustrated, a revolution will begin. Teaching people to unlearn and then relearn what is right helps to quickens the process of revolution but experiencing hardship also does the job.

An example is the fight for our independence in Africa that came as a result of the Europeans becoming lazy and educating African workers to take higher positions in industry so the Europeans don't even have to work at all...it's literally in the book.
Edited another recent example is the endsars movement.

Who told you the corrupted political class are from the masses? Who from the starving proletariat can pay 100m presidential ticket?
And if you're talking about the bourgeoisie, they're all capitalists who are scholars of oppressive capitalism. They work hand in hand with the political class. Also in the book.

anonimi:


Can you relate with the quote below, 62 years after independence

It shows that you didn't read that book thoroughly and you also didn't read my post.
I mentioned the solution in that post.

The solution is that we can't choose from the corrupted political class to rule us, we the masses have to revolt so we can take power from them

We have to organise and revolt.

anonimi:


The root cause just as they are the root cause of UAE/Dubai's underdevelopment? And that of India, Singapore and Malaysia?
62 years after independence?

What do you think of a 62 years old man who blames his current, enduring failures solely on the circumstances of his birth? A wise man? Or a foolish man whose existence on earth is a complete waste of space?

Unlike these countries you mentioned, Europeans didn't spend years and billions of dollars into reshaping their thoughts. Africa's wealth was like something Europeans had never seen before that they literally sat down and shared Africa. They practiced their new methods of colonisation like the French using brainwashing techniques that made Africans see themselves as French. Absolutely washing away thousands of years of African history. My key point here is education.

The current ruling class in Nigeria come from families with long history of slave trading and royalty. The Europeans took these slave traders under their wings and taught them formally, how to treat their fellow Nigerians inhumanely and gave them administrative positions.
People like Tinubu, rumour has it that his mother Abibatu Tinubu was a former slave trader and she even took over colonizers' duties like collection of tax from the market women until she died in 2014 or so.
Surely, a young Bola Ahmed will informally learn the business of his mother that is if she didn't even formally teach him how to exploit Nigerians. Train up a child in the way he should grow and it'll not depart from him....

You see now why you can't exclude Europeans from the conversation of Africa's regression. The politicians/administrators today are not working in your favour, they have a long history of exploitation education that remains in their families till date. The solution is that we can't choose from the corrupted political class to rule us, we the masses have to revolt so we can take power from them.

If not that the Europeans are benefiting from their offsprings of exploitation, when the military coups started, why would they ever support it? Listen to Fela's 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense'.
Never underestimate the effects of education. The planes and high rise buildings you see today is years of education. If education can build like that, you think it can't destroy like that?

anonimi:


Meanwhile we keep blaming Europeans for our underdevelopment?
Why are we so mentally lazy? Why

If you've read that book you attached, you should know Europeans are the root cause.

TheSameGuy:
Are these European countries are as vulnerable to attacks as African countries?

“Vulnerable to attacks”. The said “attacks” in Africa is simply agitation by the people the convoying government official has refused to cater for their needs.
You’re calculating vulnerability with countries that literally create weapons of mass destruction, countries where owning weapons is legal!

All that you narrated below how does it stop your father from being the oloriburuku I described earlier. No be only hdi na tuo.

Every indices known to man kind should be abandoned just because you want to rate the Pandora kleptomaniac criminal above those that are way beta than him. Is that not madness.

Tinubu in 8 years have shown what leadership should be from RSS BRT Eko Atlantic Millennium schools, IGR Free education, infrastructure. In fact every leadership induces he did beta than the pandora oloriburuku criminal yet you fool is talking about hdi. No be only hdi you suppose talk u for add tfm join.

Eko Atlantic is very laudable but it still doesn’t do anything for you and I. It’s one of the flashy things I talked about and it only puts more money in the govt pocket but that revenue needs to go into quality schools, affordable housing and infrastructure, into us!

This all meant Lagosians had to work harder which reduces HDI, BUT this is not a bad initiative, ONLY IF the proceeds of the tax is used to increase the standard of living of the proletariat which Tinubu did not do as seen in the HDI, in our lives. Tinubu is actually a mastermind and he knows how to find the financial loopholes in govt and keep the citizenry aloof.

BTW, HDI is a tool that is used in developing countries today and it has worked for all of them, that is what they brag with.

I see your insults o lol but I understand that you’re angry. You also want what’s best for Nigeria like I do but if you’re not careful you can miss it!

If you’re confused anywhere, I can break it down for you if you ask nicely.

tribalmall:
You are wrong. If truly you are a Yoruba then oloriburuku ni baba e. How many state in the SW as such facilities or does their income commiserate with infrastructure on ground. You de mad.

Lol Gentleman, relax. During Peter Obi’s time as state governor the HDI was above 2.0, at some point Ogun state’s was also above 2.0, whereas Lagos under Tinubu remained under 1.5. Even till today Lagos HDI average is still under 1.7. You cannot loot $2 million dollars in your first 2 years as Lagos state governor and not slow down development.

You need to stop looking at the flashy things on the island or the things you strived hard to acquire yourself, you need to start looking objectively at how the government has helped you protect those things, your health and your children’s future.

The only reason Lagos is currently topping the HDI in Nigeria is GDP per capita from the private sector which has nothing to do with Lasg. Remember to take out your tribal lens.

Diligent1:

Is Bayelsa and Delta revenue match human development? I just hate your nonsense jealousy.

The answer you seek is literally my conclusion in my previous comment.
Btw, I'm a Yoruba man that lives in Lagos but I'm also an economist and I'll always say the truth.

ppogba:


If all governors do the same election theatrics, Nigeria will be better for it.
In fact, if they have been doing it before,. perhaps Naija would have been better.

Yeah Sanwo Olu is a decent governor not taking that away from him. I’m just saying it is kinda unnecessary for him to involve himself in these theatrics having had a good run in office. Such theatrics doesn’t look good to people like me.

It means there is the possibility that he could have been holding off for months, commissioning infrastructure that would improve the standard of living of the people he’s working for simply because he wants votes.

Realist12:
God help Nigerians make the right decision, So Nigeria can be run effectively like Lagos is been run . All of these giant strides Lagos is taking right from the days of Tinubu ,Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu is because Tinubu dared to dream and achieve his plans amidst the constraints he encountered as governor.
Lagos state is enough to sell Tinubu if not for tribalism holding us back, most Nigerians will ditch Abuja to work in Lagos.
Why not elect someone from the mini Nigeria.

Quit misinforming Nigerians.

Ugh ok this is actually getting too much. Before I was lauding SanwoOlu cos I thought it was a coincidence that these commissionings fell 4 months before election but now I can see clearly that it’s election theatrics.
