Massive Nationwide riots loading

Just wait for INEC to announce the results

220,000,000 people and how many soldiers do we have in the arm forces less than 5,000,000.

The security forces can NEVER crush over 220,000,000 Nigerians

Let that sink

Yoruba Muslims you people a very much cursed from top to buttom.

Bastards that destroyed Nigeria.

Muslim Muslim federal government will never happen in nigeria.

This drum youre beating will consume you.

Las Las you will be fine.


I am a yoruba muslim, my entire family support Obi. Do you think only Igbos and Christians voted for Obi in lagos to win? You an
a bigot.

Power Belongs to God.

IF TINUBU IS ORDAINED BY GOD TO BE D PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA. NONE OF US CAN CHANGE THAT EVEN IF WE HATE THAT TO HAPPEN.

IT IS YOUR HATRED FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU THAT WILL CONSUME YOU.

With the way Christians pastors were condemning Muslim-Muslim ticket openly, those videos were circulating in the north that Christians hate Tinubu because of Muslim-Muslim ticket. While other smart APC politicians were telling northerners that only Tinubu will help them collect their old notes. And allow them to use cash again. Many northerners bought the bait.

Obi got 95% across south east, it is ok He won in lagos it is ok but few other state Tinubu won in the south west is your headache. How pathetic you are!

franktech:
I'm not in support of this period. But it is shameful voting for armed thugs to take over this country. He should have at least voted Atiku or Kwankwaso

Is that not his choice to make?

How would you feel or react if othet people decide for you? We cannot build a democratic country with this attitude

Your claim is partly true. The 3.58usd dollar you used is faulty.

There are so many layers involved in the business.

Before 2020, ginger was selling for as high as 50k per bag of 40kg. Many ginger farmers made good money

After Covid, the international price of most agricultural commodities crashed.

And since then it has been going up and down. Samething for sesame seeds, Hibiscus flower etc.

The prices usually react to law of demand and supply. From your presentation, it started as higher as N34,000 because many (including politicians) created artificial demands. Just to hoard their ill gotten money against the change of old currency.

When the politicians were done buying. The real buyer cannot afford the 34000 threshold anymore, when there are no buyers, the prices will naturally come down regardless of emotions.

Hibiscus flower and Sesame seeds too have gone down by 40%.

The international market this year is very cold to agro commodities all over the world. Not peculiar to nigeria.

Back to your analysis of the so called huge profit.

Most often, the quality we buy from you is not the quality required outside the country.

Sometimes you will need to buy 30tons from Kaduna and after proper cleaning, the real ginger will be 22tons.

8tons will comprises of mouldy, insect infested, or tiny parts. Sometimes pure wastes like stones, sticks, chicken or goat faeces and many other foreign matters delibaretely included to increase the weight will all account for the 8tons.

Now, we all know how much is diesel per litre. Usually you will move the goods to your warehouse mostly outside kaduna because of insecurity (depending on where your warehouse is located) the least i know is about N450,000 to N550,000 if it is kano or neighbouring states.

A truckload of ginger from any northern part be it Kaduna or Kano to the seaport starts from N1,000,000 and above.

Getting your goods to through the seaport is a different story. 4months after the farmers have collected their money, the exporters are still figuring out how to ship the ginger out. You pay many unofficial bribes running into millions.
Then you will pay the custom agents and port charges and most important thousands of dollars as freight to the shipping line.

The farmers sell to local dealers, who also sell to major dealers who now sells to the exporters, the exporters do the re-cleaning for the ginger to meet export standard befor he can sell to foreign buyers, unlike before the foreign buyers no longer trust nigerians, they insist they will pay only when the cargo arrive their country and the quality is satisfactory. Now 7months after buying, the exporter has not gotten back his investment much less profit. If per chance, there is any problem with the quality, he may lose everything because the buyer may decline payment and ask that the cargo be returned to the origin.

Now the foreign buyer sells to local but wholesale buyers in foreign country who then sell to the retail buyer or supermarket who sells at $3.58usd.

If you checked the different stages of the of differnt buyers adding their margins and several costs involved. You will realise the margin is not as huge as the writer wants us to believe. I can understand he is ignorance of the true sitiation.

Sometimes exporters lose serious money. Many i know have burnt their fingers in the business because of several challenges associated with doing business in nigeria including attacks by bandits.

Every business have their lows and highs. Those who cannot bear the heat are advised to leave the kitchen. No buyers who have genuine orders will deliberately refused to buy.

If the writer remove the emotion, he/she will realise it is purely business issue.

Right now, some of us bought the Ginger at 34000 and the price has crashed to 19000 now meanwhile somw foreign buyers too have direct contact with the farmers. Some indians and chinese are all over the markets buying at 19000/40kg. Those cargoes we bought earlier at 34000 are still in our warehouse, we have over 100tons of that, we have lost money already because we will compete with those who have bought at 15000 and are still buying now at 19000. How then can we make profit? Such is the risky nature of agro commodities.

I did this to enlighten others who may be in the writers shoes.

I come in piece

I wonder how some people called Obedients, Batified, Atikulated or Kwakwansiyyah will feel if they wake up to realise their candidates has lost.

Some people are simply bitter and haters by DNA. Nothing good is good enough for them.

No country succeeds with such people in majority

Candidlady:



Not surprised at all

Some fathers are as selfish as anything.. the man would rather spend outside than drop a dime on his immediate family


Come down to abuja You'd see more than enough... All the lady needs is just the father's contact and regular spot


Imagine you as a wife or daughter asking your father for a particular amount of money you know deep down he has but he'd story you.. but would still spend more than that amount on another lady..

These genders called MALES are so pathetic. .. na werin fit them pass be that.


Dead genders

Must someone give you? Can't you hustle for your own money?

Some wives do not enjoy sex as they get older.

It is often difficult for a sexually active man living with a woman without libido.

That is why in the northern culture, you can marry a new wife when the old wife one is sexually inactive.

What I do not subscribe to is the idea of multiple sex partners. If he chose to pick one and stick to that or even marry her. That will be better.

A girl helping her father to arrange her friend for a relationship is not new in Nigeria or Africa. In fact it was the norm before the Whiteman brought this odd idea of one man to one wife.

Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

How does Peter Obi campaign is connected to POS transaction issue.

You mean Obi will resolve the problem for her if he wins?

As for me, I don't see any difference between Peter Obi snd the other Career Politicians like Tinubu, Atiku, Kwakeanso etc. going by his records. He has been part of the establishments.

Can Peter Obi ignore Obasanjo or disregard his opinion.

I wish Nigerians would support a truly new breed.

The way you guys are presenting Peter Obi as the Messiah. Some married women who have been unable to conceive for decades will expect the coming of Obi will suddenly lead to their pregnancies.

I still stand on my point that Peter Obi will perform far woefully than Buhari.

That's if he is lucky to win.

We will all be here to review the updates.

Those whose trademark is to insult can go ahead.

I have no candidate to support because Nigerians are not looking on the direction of those with "departue from the past"

feranmi143:
Yo fish, it those who live in africa who have to worry about this

So your entire extended family are living abroad? You do not have any relatives living in Nigeria?

The issue is catch 22.

Head or Tail, there are consequences.

I cannot blame those going abroad for better pay.

In the same way, I don't expect the zimbabwe govt to fold their arms too watching the valuable assets largely trained and subsidized with public funds just moving in droves to UK.

My proposal is that, those medical personnel trained locally must work for 5 to 7years before they can relocate.

niel63:
You won't be fit to take on any position that deals with the affairs of the people. A public office is not one where you respond to bitter nationals about a failed situation.
By simply ignoring, she would have done alot more.

Buhari, Donald trump, and other leaders suppose don shoot everybody because them dey insult them.

It's a public office... you no suppose do like other. Its quite messy. Can any US citizen retaining similar positions as her... tell another citizen to "fu#k themselves" and some bitter response just to prove a point and still retain that position?

Do you see Americans insulting every govt officials online like the obedients do?

Let us not be hypocrites.

We are all humans. She may not have the time to respond all the time but once in a while, some untrained and uncultured guy deserve such treatment to send message to others who may think she is a doormat.

Being a public official should not be a reason to be treated like a pig.

She is doing her best. What was the situation before she came on board?

Every right thinking Nigerians should treat others same way if not better than he or she would like to be treated

NwaIdeato:
Abike the dumb uncivilized b!tch is the biggest motivation for me to do everything in my power to vote out APC aggressively like my life depends on it, including my loved ones as well, if Obi doesn't win this election, I'll rather Atiku wins it honestly...as bad as Atiku is, he's a far better evil that what Igbos will experience under a very tribalistic, crude and vindictive Tinubu government, with that his ugly witch of a wife who has on several occasions made disparaging remarks about Igbos.

Comments like this makes the Yorubas who are helping Obi wonder if it is worth it.

Without other tribes, Igbos alone cannot get Obi to Aso Rock.

An untrained youth felt he has the monopoly of insulting other people old enough to be his mother and that is ok.

I will do worst if I was her. Many hypocrites including Oby were all In govt at one time or the other. What did they do to advance the protection of Nigerians in diaspora?

The way the Obedients are going about it, they will hurt the dream of Obi becoming the president than those they cannot hide their hatred for.

For your information I am a proud yoruba and I don't think Tinubu should be our next president.

But I will imagine how the obidients will behave if Obi becomes the president and that is scary too.

Atiku is a no no for me.

So I may have to vote for unknown candidate because more people who could have joined the Obi are not too sure it is the right thing to do with the attitude of his followers on and offline.

You can insult everyone but that will still not translate into votes for you. If anything, it will lead to more votes against your candidate and further reduce his chances of getting the presidency.

You all are indirectly helping other candidates to gain more ground.

Nigerians don't learn.

Same way many of you sought messiah out of Buhari, Now it is Peter Obi.

These top 4 presidential candidates are professional Politicians. Obi inclusive. They are all part of the system.

I do not wish Nigeria another 4years of wasted & Directiinless leadership.

Regardless of who wins among Tinubu, Atiku and Obi. Nothing significant will change from the status quo. Don't ask me why.

In actual fact, Obi's tenure may even be worse than Buhari's administration.

The stupid system is screwed! Until we go back to regional government or true federation or restructuring depending on which you prefer, sadly not much will change.

I wish Obi can win, so we all can be here in the next 4years to check his score cards. but I doubt it if he can get the needed vote In the North.

As for me, I worry more about my immediate family. Politicians are not worth the efforts some people are putting up for them.

Best of Lucks.

May the best candidate win

[quote author=DamianX post=116284150]This woman is quite useless in her position.
May all countries adopt this and it should be extended to politicians and their family members of all ages.


Just because you can type behind keyboard means you should insult people old enough to be your aunt.

What is her fault on the issue.

There are two ministers of foreign affairs led by Geoffrey onyeama, both never showed up to do anything about Nigerians and their plights abroad.

Despite much efforts from this woman, you still feel she is useless.

It is unafrican to insult people older than you.

Can you do better?

Enddy50ty:
Believe me, that scares me a lot.
It really scares me more to think about this upcoming 2023 general elections, the number of people that will likely have to leave this country will be massive if we don't get it right.
The good thing is that we have a good option to get it right.

Peter Obi seems to be the best choice if we don't want mass exodus from this country.

What if Obi fail to deliver.

By his promise and performance in Anambra, his antecedents are not as impressive as many wants us to believe.

I pray Obi wins and many of his supporters will realize the truth.

Buhari deceived many "change" this same way.

I ask where is the concrete evidence that Peter Obi will deliver?

By the way, I do not think Tinubu or Atiku should be our next president.

I wish the youths can pick and promote one of the relatively young but unknown fresh presidential candidates.

Obi is part of the establishments. He is not radically different from the rest. Top 4 candidates.

mrvitalis:
Nigeria makes less than 25 billion dollars a year from oil .......for a country of 150 million that's nothing ...that should be Lagos revenue

Until every Nigerian pay average of 150,000 naira in tax its impossible to develop this country

So 50% of the population living below a dollar per day will need to pay N150,000 tax before Nigeria can develop?

Capacity to generate revenue is never in doubt, how to stop politicians and their collaborators both domestic and foreign from looting what they cannot finish in 5th generation is the challenge.

The poor are already over burdened with many indirect -taxes from all govt agencies and security agencies too.

The rich are still the same people who will not pay tax.

According to FIRS, Less than 100 individuals pay up to 12million naira in Nigeria as tax.

And 90% of these people are within lagos-Ogun axis.

What does that says about the rich in Nigeria?

They benefit all the available goodies but do not think they should pay reasonable tax. All these presidential candidates paying N100m for ordinary piece of paper as nomination forms, should really show us how much they have paid in taxes.

But FIRS will not go after them because they are "untouchables".

God1000:
We're voting APC out next year.

I'm ready to lose friends as we approach 2023 presidential election, I will sever ties with anyone that tries to cause more harm to this country including my friends.
You can't be my friend and support bad politicians.


But it appears ASUU is only after their own selfish interest, they don't really care about the plights of the students.

The ASUU issue is fundamental and goes beyond one clueless administration like this current one.

ASUU is a striking force since 1980's

Even if an angel rules Nigeria, they will still go on strike.

It is in ASUU's DNA to go on impactless strike for the flimsiest of reasons.

Nigeria needs to adopt global best practices on public university education
In Nigeria.

ASUU is populated by arrogant lecturers who are largely archaic and do not want to improve.

The public universities need serious reform to compete in the market.

The more they strike, the more unattractive they become.

As egg heads as they claim they are, they should by now know that going on strikes appears to be leading them to self-destruct.

They really need to sit down and fashion out a better and more effective ways to achieve whatever they want to do.

They probably will get back their payments for all the days on strike.

What about the students? Can you recover the years wasted while the strikes were on?

Can you force your age when your employers insist they do not want applicants above certain age. Your dreams and careers are kept on hold because of largely selfish interest of the lecturers.

Which section of the country is actually well paid in Nigeria?

I do not hold forth for the useless government, In fact, I wish Buhari could be impeached so we don't have to waste another 9months to get rid.of him and his directionless govt, but ASUU is a problem since 1980's and they are not about to change their way.

Only fools do things same way and expect different results.

wunmi590:


So because you want to study for your masters in UK, you now want to make your dead mother suffer the second time, by selling her house with her grave togther....

Who even buy house with grave in the compound?

Bros bury that dream and go and source for money else where, what if the woman didn't leave you that house, won't you survive?

Exactly My Point.

Your mind is fixated on selling the house.

Millions of people all over the world are schooling abroad without selling their mother's property.

So many do not even have any property to sell, yet they find a better way to do it.

If you ask a better questions from the experts in foreign education. Perhaps they will give you a better advice.

Besides, many foreign students now graduates are not finding it as rosy as they had thought.

Finally. With the influx of Africans, nigerians in particular, going to UK to study and stay put, the UK government may review the policy again that you must go back to your country or elsewhere when you are done schooling.

The truth is, the western world's population is dropping so fast that there are no enough students to fill the available educational facilities and foreign students accounts for large components of inflow to UK.

So, their decision to offer tertiary and post graduate education is borne out of their need for survival.

In conclusion, weigh your options.

We do not have enough information about your background, current state of residence, course you study, how much do you think the house can truly fetch and how much in totality will be required to complete your education in the UK, your current income, how to earn more income to meet your goals,

If you sell the house, it will only be a temporary relief, if you do not develop your capacity to earn money, you will always look for easy way out.

Don't put all your hope on traveling abroad at all costs.

The grass is always greener at the other side from a distance. Until you get there, then the reality hits you.

Be wise!

Would you have supported Obi if he is not from the east?

I don't think neither of the three leading candidates will make much difference because they are all part of the establishments.

The Vultures & Vampires sucking Nigeria usually do not care about who becomes the president among their fellow Vampires.

We were celebrating when Bubu got to power, now we know better.

I just can't see any major assurance that if Atiku, Tinubu or even Obi becomes the president, there will be major changes beyond cosmetics.

As long as Nigeria is still managed centrally from Abuja.

I recalled when Jonathan came to power, most of us thought the Niger Deltans will be better off.

While Buhari's administration will go do in history as the worst, I really do not give my trust in politicians cheaply again.

May be when we re- structure the country and do away with this wastefil, ineffective and inefficient presidential form of government, things may get better.

I hope Obi can win so the SouthEasterners too can have a feel of power and see how defective the current system is.

May God Bless our Mothers.

But this risk is a stupid one.

If she dies in the process, will she continue to feed her children.

It is obvious, she gave priority to load over her own life.

And the bike rider was also speeding recklessly.

She could have arranged for a seperate Bike to take her home.

Life is Precious. And Nigerians such as this, seems not to value Life anymore

Sweetboilooks:
All I want is for Peter Obi to take economic power from lagos. He should invest heavily in Porthatvourt, Calabar and Onitsha . Lagos must go down.

With statements like the above, you are making Peter Obi a hard sell to other regions.

I hope all those having orgasms over this action realise that there are Yoruba people living in the north too? You people don't know what you are playing with.

While I do not support jungle justice if ang kind.

I blame the Seriki Fulani for not helping the communities to identify the criminals among them.

But the greater blame goes to the inept leadership and government who has failed woefully to stem the tide before now.

There is always a limit to human endurance.

Several people including prominent members of the yorubas have been killed by kidnappers allegedly believed to be Herdsmen, what has this federal government done about it?

By the way, even the northerners are tired of these fulani killer gang.

Not all northerners are of fulani extraction.

May be now that things are gradually getting out of hand, the insecurity may begin to get serious attention from this government.

Some of us can't wait for May 2023 to come

Righteousness89:
Condolences to His Family!

Mr. Ajimobi is gone forever..

He is gone to give Account of his acts on Earth..

I just hope somehow, somewhere, somebody listened to us and led him to JESUS Christ like we kept announcing..

Ajimobi lived, died and will be buried as a Muslim. We need to respect other people's feelings too.

Like we always say, There is no big deal in death! As no one really dies! We only switch to the main part of life. The Forever and Ever realm

The Koko of the Matter is Who did you Accept and Believe before you left..

What you believe or not believe is your personal cup of tea.

With JESUS, it is Sweet! Gracious !Glorious !Joyous! Heavenly!

Without JESUS is unfortunate! So Unfortunate!
Have you been to heaven before ?

May God Help us the Living to understand
these things..

You are free to believe in whatever suits you, but you do not have the right to ridicule other people or their religious rights in the name of preaching Salvation.
Those who brought the christianity to Africa used it to scam us, buying our forefathers as slaves to work in their farms while preaching Salvation as a decoy.
Church of England just apologized for their shameful role in slave trade.

Biography

Hon. Abike Dabiri was a former news caster and member house of Representative.
A well known attention seeker.
Famed for her tribal bigotry and ethnic profiling to always name Igbos in every crime committed abroad where the Igbos were involved but suddenly becomes dumb where it involves Yorubas.
Always seeking to usurp the powers of the minister for Foreign affairs.
An egoistic trouble maker who always uses feminism as a defence.

So far, with all you have said about her .
You are doing exactly what you have accused her of.

You have not said anything tangible about the issue at hand, rather you saw an opportunity to Express your erroneous
and negative opinion of her personality

Truth be told, the Igbos travel more than any other tribes in Nigeria, and since she came to office, she has been doing her bits to protect and rescue many Nigerians abroad who were stranded, maltreated or in one form of trouble or the other. And by the way, she works with the Nigerian missons under the same ministry of foreign affairs.

For any discerning reader can see where you are coming from., rather than admit the ineptitude of the ministry of foreign affairs and the minister, you want us to believe she usurped his power because the minister is from your region.

Ask Nigerians abroad what they have benefited from the Nigerian embassies.

As for the communication minister and what he said or didn't say during GEJ administration, I do not know about that.

But I want to leave you and others reading to see Nigeria as one country in which we all are stakeholders.

Even majority of those who call it a zoo*, they have no other passport and when there is a problem, they still cry for help and protection from this same Nigeria government as bad as it is.

So, when issues arise, we should judge it based on the facts of the matter not , not who did what to GEJ or alleged past comments of people.

Tomorrow this your comments here can be used against you too.

On the real issue, if it is true that she and her staff were chased out of office, then the minister is wrong and should be called to order, if her allegation is not true, then she should be investigated and appropriate punishment be melted to her. PERIOD.

Good looking machine.
