amaridigital:
Are you from Agulu to be thinking like this?
In Nigeria nothing happens to ex presidents. If not, people like Obasanjo, Babangida, Gowon and Jonathan won't be able to breathe today. No president will try that. You think Asiwaju doesn't have the record of Obj's recklessness and corruption? They would rather try to torment few corrupt people in the former administration but not the Presidents themselves.
Again, where would you start from since all the past presidents have skeletons in their cupboards? Are you going to be selective and bypass some leaders and you think people from that tribe won't shout witch hunting?
When was the last time they jail any US past president or you think they are Angels?

to buttress your point, common popular presidential candidate, they hardly prop them because of public discourse,
why didn't they prop the corruption case of Atiku?
infact the government knows that there won't be public displeasure that is why ElRufai was arrested.
ElRufai over estimated himself.
no protest , no concern from any quarter about his arrest. that's very bad

they will definitely do that once they have power,
you think anyone can criticise obi if he's the president of Nigeria

Kukutente23:
Let's look at the facts
Obidients have not killed anyone like buhari's supporters did in 2011
They have not snatched ballot boxes like Tinubu's supporters did in Okota way in 2019
They have not threatened a whole tribe against voting their choice like another Tinubu supporter did in 2023
Obidients are yet to threaten to form a parallel government like an APC frontrunner did in 2014
No Obidient has been found to be actively defending terrorists like some APC bigwigs defended boko haram and some now defend bandits
No Obidient has confessed to bringing terrorists into the country out of fear of things not going their way
No Obidient has expressed an interest in shooting Seun Okinbaloye dead for asking questions they don't like
Yet zone Bees will like us to believe that Obidients are the cause of 90% of the world's problem
If this isn't schizophrenia I don't know what else it is!

Tinubu got to power 3 years ago, the last time I checked, Nigeria has existed before that time..
why didn't other presidents before Tinubu develop the seas ports, Jonathan was in power for complete 6 years end yet he didn't start the sea ports.
the same OBJ you are praising now was in power for 8 years and you didn't care to pressure him to open Seaports in south south. atleast they should have started and we would have been saying the project was abandoned, no, the didn't do anything and you were comfortable. since you were comfortable then, you should also be comfortable now tll

esnbrutality:
Apart from religious extremism from Northern ardents, the Igbos and northerners cohabit peacefully and make money constructively.

The real impediment to Igbo growth are the betrayals that constantly shout 1 Nigeria but are quick to remind you that Lagos is their own. Forgetting that its resources from the SE, under Military Regimes that developed Lagos.

The Electricity generation has been proven to be doable by IGBOs

The Private Airline Space has been proven to be doable by IGBOs

Other spheres they dominate in are thriving and surviving

All their so called Yoruba $ Billionaires are Politically exposed subjects of political gladiators .

The same people, will fight tooth and nail to sabotage Airports in the SE and even seaports, because Lagos will be abandoned in an instant.

They fear these developments in the SE, because their parasitic tendencies will be nipped in the bud and they will feast on themselves, as leeches that they are from inception.


The people that fear development in the SE the most are the 'OUR LAGOS' noisemakers, who migrated from osun, oyo, ogun, ekiti, kwara, edo, itsekiri, uhrobo, ijaw even Benin Republic., shouting 'On your mandate nonsense.

Ekiti hungry? Ekiti can't be hungry, they may not have money for luxury but they can't be hungry because they have the best soil in Nigeria

what about if he gets there and he discovers it's not as easily as he thought.
you think others do not want to solve the problem.
everyone wants thier names to be written in the gold of time.
we just assume the problem is easily to solve but the past leaders do not want to solve it

Heffalump:
Some people are very low in understanding. Obi is very correct. His statement is a philosophical one in nature.
He doesn't know how rotten/ terribly bad Nigeria is until he gets into office. What's bad in that? There are many things happening in government today that're hidden from the citizens.

How do you expect Obi to know many of the real problems confronting the nation? Basic issues like light, bad roads, insecurity, inflation, poverty, and corruption are well known. But the real issues orchestrating these problems are still hidden in the government of the day. Obi is truly an uncommon politician.

Easier said than done, do you think all our leaders don't want to do all these?
Everybody wants to achieve remarkable things. From Obasanjo to Tinubu, you think none hasn't thought about this? the question is how easy is it ?
we dont even have the money to achieve that

nairalanda1:
Mali and Burkina are in a bigger mess than Nigeria, especially security wise

Rwanda is only good in the capital..outside, it's a typical African country

Gabon is a poor country too.

Botswana is a small country that produces very large amounts of diamonds, probably as much as South Africa, but they got 2 million people. When the diamonds run out dem go dey poor.


Many of you Nigerians do not want to vote sane leaders, Na Tinubu and emilokan type leaders you want.

Until you vote leaders that would be committed to using our natural resources to develop exportable goods and stop thinking that everything must be cheap, especially electricity and fuel, we will remain where we are.

Dangote is rich because he is using raw materials to make exportable goods. Most African nations would be richer if they made that the cornerstone of their economy

you are saying Ojukwu who wanted to liberate Biafra is not competent
chai

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Same Igbos that voted OBJ over Ojukwu,Igbos have always voted competence.

I am surprised that even Peter Obi would be petty about Nigeria debt.
he's not an intelligent as I think.
naira devaluation doesn't increase our debt. our debt can be measured using more stable currency which is dollar, because all the money borrowed were not in naira but dollar.
if we check the debt profile before Tinubu took office and the debt profile now, it's almost the same in dollar term.
Nigeria debt has not really increased in dollar term.
we shouldn't forget that Nigeria is also paying debt monthly so, we should not expect the debt not to change.
Tinubu also paid more debt than other presidents before him that's why despite that he was borrowing, the debt profile has not increased.
Peter Obi should look for other things to criticise the government not on petty thing like debt

Burob:
U people have refused to work, so o guy Jagaban must borrow to cater for una.

The Igbos have given alot to Lagos Economy just as Lagos has also made them who they are.
Igbo never made Lagos what it is hence they would have replicated the same thing elsewhere. Lagos state is favoured for it's strategic location
Lagos state is favoured for it seaport and high population which serves as market for the Igbos being into trading .
why hasn't they made Anambra like Lagos , is the Igbos in Anambra not the same with the Igbos in Lagos. Anambra, imo, Abia, Enugu and ebonyi are 90% Igbos yet they couldn't replicate Lagos. technical, it's not the present of the Igbos that made Lagos but other factors like functioning Seaports and good administration who have been piloting the affairs of Lagos

UncleAyo:
We also wish they can look homeward and give back to the economy of their region too. And make the region a place every Nigerians will cherish (covet and call a nomansland) and want to call home for her available opportunities.

All region in Nigeria must equally experience economic growth. Not until Yorubaland is overpopulated.

You (literally) can't give what you don't have (- or can't replicate - in your own home)...

poverty reduces religiosity.
paying tax makes people to hold Thier government responsibility just as we see in Western world. they pay tax heavily and when they felt unsatisfied with any leader, they take it up with that person.
Our problem still lies heavily on poverty. we are on survival of the fittest mode which is natural whenever resources are limited.

Kobojunkie:
I disagree! Nigeria's problem is hinged on the fact that its constitution was created for its failure from the beginning. When you have two different sets of laws for people, you create a condition for failure. Let me provide you with an example. 😒

A couple of years ago, Orji Kalu was arrested and prosecuted. He was expected to spend many years of his life in jail. But suddenly, he came back wearing Islamic garb, claiming he had turned to Islam. And you know what happened right after that? The cases against him simply disappeared, and he was rewarded with a position in government. Why do you think that happened? It had everything to do with Sharia Law. Under Sharia Law, what Orji Kalu's crimes against kafirs(an Arabic term meaning "disbeliever" or "infidel," referring to someone who rejects Allah's authority or Islamic teachings) are not criminal at all. 😒

---

Here are a couple of books from Islamic Scholars to read to understand Sharia from the fairy tales(Takiyah-driven) that have become commonplace even in Nigeria, among non-Islamics. 😒
1. The Life of Mohammed (aka Sirah Rasullulah) by Ibn Ishaq
2. History of AL-Tabari(History of the Prophets and Kings) by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari
3. Reliance of the Traveller by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri
4. Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun
5. Tahrir al-Wasilah by Ruhollah Khomeini
6. Islamic Government: Governance of the Jurist (also known as Velayat-e Faqih) by Ayatollah Ruhollah Imam Khomeini

You can read this up for yourself. 😒

what was Anambra money doing in Fidelity bank if he's not a thief, come on

Dalohad:
You wey you like 'struggle' we don see how you loot Rivers to stupor, kill voters for Tinubu during 2023 elections for your ambitions. Your boys wey you dey handpick give tickets, dem dey contest primaries?

Anyway, dem go fail this time..People don ready for your rigging strategy of bribe-or-kill.

Peter Obi no be thief like you wey become overnight billionaire after Governorhip. During Senate screening when GEJ made you Minister of State for education, you claimed only N145,000 was found in your account by EFCC..Today na stolen billions dey your account.

Wike, which business you dey do before you enter Rivers politics? You get lawfirm? Abi you get hire-purchase Okada wey dey remit money give you?

Which 'food is ready' pass to chop Rivers people money since 1999 till day, as agbero chairman, LGA chairman, Governor and Minister?

Fashola get second address, after politics he has gone back to his profession. Peter Obi left Governor's house and went back to his business..

Wike where is your second address? Where is your shop or law firm located?

Without politics and stolen money, how you for take see food chop for this country?

lol, you want to justify why he bought cards for kings but you condemned the same act when other politicians did it

helinues:
Only if you have a clue about the story behind the SUV bought for over 100 kings, you won't be saying all this about Obi

with outspoken Peter Obi, that had trust issue, okay, we should be deceiving ourselves

Penguin2:
The truth is that you can’t have somebody as formidable as Kwankwaso and you will render him as useless as Shettima currently is in Tinubu government.

So, the north knows they will be getting a better deal with Kwankwaso as Vice President than the disaster they currently have in Shettima and his Balablu.

they know politics more than Tinubu.they can even teach him politics
Governors know the problems of Nigeria and they know Atiku or Obi won't solve the problems. they still refer him. some of you are saying governors don't have influence over their subjects. a very myopic reason. even a local government chairman can influence his people to vote for a particular candidate. you have been influenced to buy a brand you never intended to buy by an Igbo man before

Burob:
A very clueless & vague minded assertion, very sure that Kanwulia scripted it on your behalf?

and you think people will believe this your report. it's only religious people that will, what about the others

SyrusdeHansome:
Don't worry, when you have the experience first hand you'll know there's nothing like sleep paralysis. Science think everything can be explained on the basis of observation and theory. I've seen someone confess of how he was fun of pressing pple in their sleep and as someone that use to have the experience almost every night nobody can ever tell me I was experiencing sleep paralysis.

some people are very insensitive and unreasonable. why will someone make such tweet, Oyo didn't vote for Tinubu to start with. I pray Peter Obi wins, we will see if Nigeria will turn Dubai overnight m it seems the Igbos especially are making it look Peter Obi is Messiah

is it today insecurity started. security has improved in the East compare to previous years

Omayie:
Can you think rationally?

How safe would those roads be to ply when there is heightened insecurity. Hasn’t it occurred to you that people feel so unsafe to travel, transport goods and make economic use of roads because of the same insecurity.
Why invest such funds on infrastructure when insecurity has eaten up the lives of thousands of people.
Brother this isn’t about party or political support. It’s about Nigerians. Try to day think properly

only you replied with sense, we want to compare what IBB borrowed in Naira to what Obasanjo borrowed, for us to properly make logical sense, we must find a common ground for comparison, that's comparing the money in dollars. Those money were borrowed in dollar.
that's why I said Tinubu time as the president of Nigeria is way better than others. I can now see the effect of frequent strike in our institution on the quality of graduates we are producing Poor thinkers without sense. shey 4 years program most of the time will end in 6 years where most of the students would have lost interest in Thier study, tell me how quality graduate will be produced.

oyebanji:
This is being clever by half. What is the dollar value of the loans for the 2 periods?
To put this in context, under Buhari, Naira to USD was averagely N320 while under Tinubu its averagle N1400. At Buharis N75trn and Tinubu's N65trn, loans under Burai is $234bn while same under Tinubu is $46bn.

chai, Nigeria youths are not intelligent at all, no critical thinkers. look at what we are dragging for several hours. for our information, the same old men will rule us for a long time because we don't have the tenacity and capacity to handle leadership.
Tinubu is a thief, dubious and curry but definitely smarter than most of the youth in Nigeria. he planned ahead and put ensure no stone is left unturned.
he started by introducing LG autonomy, so that even LG chairmen will be encouraged to mobilize Thier people to vote. it was difficult for him but he Scape through. he tested his experiment through the primary.
2. He already knows human are not rational as we think, they are gullibles, ejsy People were criticizing the same Peter Obi when he was governor but today, most of the same people consider him as Messiah. even Buhari was treated the same way.
So, to influence people to vote even against Thier wish won't be difficult. he set up enough footsoldiers to do the job even without rigging. Rigging is not necessary to win elections in Nigeria, just have enough footsoldiers that will brand you in a good light. Otoge was used to end Saraki dynasty in Kwara state. Edo no be Lagos was used by Obasiki to win his second term. those slang just got into the heart of the people, without much thought, they were bewitched to vote for the initiator.
very simple, even obi had to use religion sentiment to get votes from Christians especially in the north central

I believe Obi won't go to the election with this your mindset. He won't assume the figure is fake hence he's defeated.
it's stupidity to underestimate your opponents in a competition. even Tinubu doesn't underestimate his opponents despite that he's the president

evanpass:
Inflicted figure,buy crowd doing campaign come manipulate and inflict election results.

they don't have money

helinues:
What's taking the state governors eternity to start generating their own electricity by partnering with investors

hmm we are not paying tax in Nigeria at all.
Let assume there's no oil, how will 211B serve 20 million people in Lagos
211B naira , 150million dollar effectively serve Lagos state
I see why we don't have quality road, schools and other human development index in Nigeria. we are not a serious country, we don't want to do anything Texas budget is 169 billion dollar.
Lagos is generating $150m in a month, in a year around around $2b, Lagos state 2026 budget is $2.94 b
tell me how Lagos will match up Texas
we want our country to be like Texas and we are not thinking on how to generate money to fund a budget like Texas. if Lagos can have a budget of 60 billion dollar in 10 years, we will be surprised how Lagos will look like

Parachoko:
I dey talk about the money from VAT

States like Lagos, Oyo, Rivers should have reject the sharing formula

where are the indigenous Jew?
The people killed by Hitler during world war 2 are what?
before 1948, are there reports that Jew were residing in Europe?
If there are no Jew again since you claimed the self claimed Jew are no Jew, are you not invalidating the bible and Qur'an, since those 2 books never said there will be a time that no Jew will exist.
In History as recorded in the Bible, the Jew had once gone on exiles
Going on exile are not new.
when a group of people went on exile like that, there are possibilities of loosing the real traits and being left with Hybrid.
some Nigerians that married White usually give birth to white babies.
if that continues over a long period of time, one may lose the black colour skin traits.
that technique are used in genetic science to develop new breed.
subconsciously the same thing can play out in human too
Zionist story could only be a circumstance for the Jew to return home
do you know how the word Jew came to being, the children of Isreal that returned from exile where separated, the undiluted children of Isreal were called Jew while the diluted ones are Samaritans

Kushites:
USE YOUR BRAIN.

HOW CAN EUROPEANS FROM AUSTRIA, GERMANY, UKRAINE, POLAND, HUNGARY, SERBIA, RUSSIA, AND CROATIA BE ''ISRAEL''?.... ''JEWS''?

WERE EUROPEANS LIVING IN THE HOT DESERT OF THE MIDDLE EAST 3,000 YEARS AGO?

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT, IT'S TRAGIC.

lol, even if Other party appointments inec chairman, the president can still buy him.is it not in Nigeria again? giving thechskr offers that he can not avoid is enough to buy him

Brendaniel:
Tinubu has turned INEC to a bandit organization

The INEC chairman should honorably resign, the INEC chairman should not be appointed by the president.

Every political party should pick a candidate they want for INEC chairman and all the parties should vote who they want among them till there is a winner for the appointment to take place.

Hmm, we still didn't understand the root of Nigeria problem.
even if Angels comes down to rule, there won't be much different. Once the foundation of a house is bad, no matter the quality of the building erect on it, it will collapse. Nigeria problem is embedded in the anti people and corruption enhancer constitution

Jacoban20:
Obi is coming.

Tinubu is going.

Nigeria is bouncing back

Is there a time that America citizens support war?
Abeg, try to read between the lines. US has been fighting war long time ago

Kobicove:
See one of them here!

Most Americans have voiced their displeasure about this war but ignorant Nigeria who don't have up to 1 million to their name are so exited about the war which is making petrol more expensive and indirectly taking money away from their pockets.

It is because of this senseless war that Trump started that there is a disruption in the supply chain of the energy industry to the extent that some international airlines are cancelling flights and scaling back operations.

Don't worry, if the global economy goes into recession as a result you sef wey dey Nigeria go feel am.

I dey pity you!

and he gave Iran conditions which Iran is being forced to meet.
he talks a lot because they have gadgets that could melt the heart of any nation

mhmsadyq:
After all his noises and chest beating, he still have to negotiate with the terrorist regime.

Trump's tail is between his legs!

whats your proof?
If US wants to stop ship from going in and out of Iran, they can do it. they have th arsenal to do it.

mynd1:
Let US propaganda they deceive you.... For your information, many ships left Iranian ports and nothing stops them.

Hmm, You are also believing the same thing as far as you support Iran. Iran was never a Muslim country but islam was forced on them Egypt too were not originally Ahab but today they are. if you are condemning Isreali action which I think you raised a valid point, you should do something to Ahab countries too

KobolanderSegun:
The reason why Turkey want to Join us because everyone saw how Germany started in 1938. Conquest mentality never ends. Look at Nigeria and terrorism only a mumu thinks you can pay a terrorist off.

A terrorists goal is control of the land, to turn people into slaves and to rape women, if you give them money they just buy arms to continue

The Germans have shown the world clearly that you never allow people who claim land and fight wars to flourish.

If you think a land grabber and a killer is your friend or has a sense of morality just wait till when they come for you.

Jesus said " By their fruits you shall know them ". It is not from the Bible or from history you judge people, it is not by the name they call themselves or by what people call them. Just look at people's actions and you will see them very clearly.

If God told you he was going to give you your brothers shirt do you have a right to take his shirt without his permission ? If it was truly God that same God will tell him to give it to him.

It's amazing how the 10 Commandments say Do not Covert your neighbors house, wife and anything your neighbors own but people are using God to covert land and kill for land. Does the Bible not say "thou shalt not kill ? "

It's Amazing how Christians disregard the teaching of peace of Jesus Christ but embrace the actions of Moses.

Who is the Messiah. Jesus or Moses.

Alot of the supporters of Genocide do it because they have been brain washed to believe in Superiority and deem themselves as inferior

You see them giving their alliegence to America and Israel as life America and Israel are ordained by God to save the world.
God's Chosen people where not Ordained to Save the World.
Noah who saved the World was not a Jew
Enoch who went to heaven was not a Jew

Religion did not start with Abraham, it started with Adam, Adam and Eve were not Jews.

When people have a broader view of the Bible they read they will see that God has no favorites and His Word's are his favorites.

Jesus Christ never spoke of any Promised land neither did he preach about it. But the Nigerian Christians believe in a promised land their savior never spoke upon.

Christian Fanatism and Fundamentalism is very alive and well. I will not even call it Christian it's more about Racial and Religious Superiority that Nigerian Christians believe in.

This is what happens when people worship people based on their skin color not looking on wether their deeds are good and bad.

A group of Nigerian private University school students went to badagry in 2018 for an excursion and they saw the slavery chains.

Some of them said " I wish the Europeans will come back and take us as slaves so that I can Japa for free "
That is the typical mindset of the African.
