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 upwardshuh
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.

Can you relate with the quote below, 62 years after independencehuh
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.

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?

“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! 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.

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 Lgosians. 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.

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.

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.
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. 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(ease of transport and traffic gridlocks, security), 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.

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

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.

Lol. The thing is you can never give out what you dont have.

Peter obi is a very daft man. Infact it is very surprising how some people manage in listening to him for 2minutes plus.He talks so inchorent and disjointed like a kindergaten kid. You will ask him about Letter A, he would be counting 1,2,3. angry

At the last interview he had, he was asked how he intends to fight issue of insecurity. And Obi said:

'Even if you put a gun to my head, i wont tell you how. I will be the security chief.' ....blah blah Nonsense.

I mean, does that make any sense? This is the same man that has been going from media to churches criticising the government on issue of insecurity. Now he had his chance to atleast prove knowledgeable in that area, he spoke like someone high on Mpukuimiri. He knows nothing about anything. Just Lies, another lies and more lies.



I have been asking this and i will still continue asking, as governor of Anambra state - What are the achievements of Peter Pandora except investing the state funds into beer parlour business which he still ran into historical loss?.

Anybody?


Modified: Some ignorant empty-heads are coming right at me saying why should he disclose his security tactics. The same people that is saying Obi doesnt need manifesto. A presidential candidate doesnt need a manifesto? ! cheesy cheesy

Is Peter obi a military man or an intelligence officer to be hiding from security discussion?
Is Nigeria his personal business, for him to start keeping and hiding his secret formula or tactics? angry
Since he has been going around forming an expert in security matters criticising others, he needs to tell us how he can tackle it. We need to know if he really have anything upstairs except the endless lies, fables, beer employment talks and china figures he is always quoting around . But ofcourse we are vindicated, he knows nothing.

I love that he said "he would have" which means Peter Obi couldn't.

Meanwhile, the fool forgot that Tinubu worked with 600mil igr, coupled with Lagos allocation withheld yet Tinubu ensured Lagos thrived and improved Lagos' economy to what it is today.
At no time during Tinubu’s administration was Lagos denied state allocation from the federation account, only local government funds were suspended from 2004 to 2007. The claim that Lagos state had zero allocation is false.

I've written and written on top this Tinubu matter trying to open everybody's eyes but you people are too much.

My question is that now that we've discovered all these you've mentioned what exactly have we done about it?
When I was a kid I used to give my mom every money that I got as gift and whenever I tried getting my money back my mom will always remind me of the food I've been consuming was been provided with money. Those the money my mom failed to refund stop me from getting rich today?

We are our own problem sir, the Europeans played both positive and negative parts in shaping us and I think we shouldn't allow the negativities to stop us from growing as a nation.
Today we dont have a functional refinary so we still need to export our crude oil, that is also the same thing as us exporting the cotton you mentioned but have we made any attempt in refining our oil or do we still blame the Europeans?

We are not just ready yet bro, we should stop accusing the Europeans for our own failure.
The bolded question proves my point further.
You know better that we need refineries because you heard or read that somewhere severally, that is an informal lesson and it has stuck with you.
If in our schools they had taught us that we don't need refineries, you wouldn't disagree until you unlearn that.

If you're interested in history, you'll know that 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.

Well done mr history teacher.
I forgot that Nigeria still has shackles in her hand so that's why we are where we are.

Just let us keep blaming the Europeans for our own corrupt actions.
I'm going to educate you a little and implore you to read one or two of the books on slavery and colonialism in Africa. I suggest 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa'.

The effect of education is underestimated. It's no surprise USA spends about $100 billion on education annually.

In Africa, there are so many things that were taught to us by Europeans, formally and informally, things that stuck nationwide, and these are the things we need to unlearn quickly! The Europeans invested time and billions of dollars into reshaping the way Africans reason inorder to exploit is and we owe ourselves the duty to spend as much time and money into unlearning these things to reshape our reasoning.

For example, the Europeans refused to import farm machineries to Nigeria and they forced Nigerian farmers to export cotton at a 0.02 and that same cotton was used to make clothes in UK and then imported back to Nigeria at 16.00. The cotton farmers couldn't afford their own cotton anymore and that means they had to toil even more without machinery just to afford clothing. Same went for food farmers. This went on for almost a century and Nigerians began to see farming as a labour without benefits; a punishment. This is why in our secondary schools, students are forced to engage in agricultural activities to serve as their punishment. Agriculture that generates billions of dollars for Germany is punishment in Nigeria.

We learnt that informally so now think of the things they taught us formally. You can see now that the Nigerian government had no role in destroying the psych of the people. That is why today, even when our government tells citizens they're providing agricultural loans, people don't show interest IN FEEDING THEMSELVES!

Don't forget to read that book.

Religious sentiment. Now I understand you clearly.
FYI, Tinubu is not concerned about religious beliefs. He's decision was political. I'm sure you know this. Nigeria is not a Muslim and a Christian country. There are so many other religions present. Know this and know peace. Make politicians no twist your brain.
Why are you turning a blind eye to all the dirt on Tinubu? I know nobody is perfect but Tinubu’s is just too much.

In his first two years as Lagos governor he moved almost $2million to his accounts overseas when he disclosed prior to becoming governor that he had no other source of income but his job where he earned around $2,200. What Tinubu knows how to do best is exploit the loopholes in our constitution.

Someone on here was telling me that he knows Tinubu is corrupt but he can build strong institutions. It was so funny to me because there are literally thousands of books that highlight how corruption eats into and weakens institutions. I took my time to discuss extensively with the man and he eventually came out that he was being paid to push Tinubu online but has Obi at heart.

My only conclusion is that you’re being paid to write for T.inub.u. If you are, end your paragraph with five dots and I’ll let you be.

What I find funny about comments like this is that people fail to realize that Christianity is not originally European.

Islam and Christianity have the same ancestor, Judaism. Hence Christianity is actually Asian, just like Islam.

The thing is that at it's formation Rome was in power in it's locality, so it quickly spread westward, instead of eastward.

So the same Christianity the Europeans used to subjugate Africans, someone else used to subjugate them.

You don’t even know what you’re up against. Religion is such a strong drug!

My theory is that since all humans are different, and among us there will be those that the Bible gives them validation that they’re actually the best of humans and they truly believe it.

For example, if the Bible says don’t wear what belongs to a man, and a young Christian girl who has innate girly features and hated the idea of dressing like a man even before reading the Bible reads that, she’ll hold on to the Bible tight. You can’t tell her otherwise.

The Bible bodes well for their character.
