Settlement culture scam.

There's almost nothing you can get done in this country without someone asking you to settle. Even citizens ask politicians to settle them before they'll vote.

Someone links you to a job, he'll ask for settlement as if you'll do the job together or he isn't getting paid.

You go to police station to get vehicle papers. They beg you like almajiris and even worse. These men in black are the worst. They'll even demand extra settlement money from driver because he's packing goods. As if it's on their head he packed the goods.

School teachers expect parents to settle them because their child came first in their subject.

Civil servants will ask you for settlement just because you got a government contract that relates with their office. They care little (at best) whether you deliver or not.

Until we learn to do our job and play our civic roles without expecting settlements, please forget about ending corruption in this country.

fikayormi:
You are so right boss , this settlement of a thing no be small, when I did my drives license, I have to settle them or less I won’t get it on time , same international passport even bankers any small help , settle , I count how much I have spend on dis settlement of a things

I have some friends who run a charity organization. They get funds from foreign countries. These bank workers will be requesting for like 50k settlement out of 500k funds.

Even me that sometimes use my account to collect these funds and spend my time and money, they gave me I think 10k or 20k the day my car had accident on the way to the bank. I spent about 60k on the car. But these ones are asking for 50k just to do their job!

Quest7777:
Has anybody wondered why this kind of mob action hardly happens in the North despite Kidnapping & releasing of hundreds of people by Bandits?

Because the east is the real zoo. It's called jungle justice for a reason.

KEVIND:
PETER OBI IS NOT YOUR PAINS!

The families of Abuja-Kaduna train attack are not interested in Peter Obi's lies. They are looking for money to pay ransome for their loved ones' release.

The aggrieved families of Nigerians killed by Bandits in Kaduna, Kastina, Niger, Zamfara are not interested in Peter Obi's campaign. They think of govt that failed them.

Buhari's family don't care about Peter Obi's lies because in the last 7 years, they lived the best life can offer. Till today, nothing is telling us how Yusuf acquired his multi-million Naira bike.

When you get to the market, present to them Peter Obi's lies so that the prices of goods reduce. Inflation has nothing to do with Peter Obi's political ambitions.

Thank you for admitting OBItuary's lies. A liar is a bullet every country must dodge.

This one is going to push Anambra into debt and slavery.

FreedomfromtheT:
He has every right and duty to ask Christians to vote in defence of their faith based on the situation on ground. He never insulted or threatened anyone. The opposite religious leaders have a right to also direct their own on what they think is in their own interest. Thank you.

The contrast is what we see from CAN.

DiscoverID:
Please, what about Aba and onitsha? Those places that even pigs are protesting the conditions.

Those ones didn't even make the list of world city.

MonkeyMods:
And who asked for your opinion this tortoise looking pedophile?


You should be in jail in saner climes and not dishing out unsolicited advice and comments in cyberspace

As you biafrans always say, leave the messenger and face the message. Or that principle doesn't apply now because it's against your biafra president?

Too bad.

djon78:
The pastor speaking is he not from South West

South West has which Muslim majority?

The thing is that everyone don wise finish

Do you know the number of Christians that have been slaughtered this past 7 years?

Go to middle belt States and see the amount of Christian villages that have been wiped out

Or is it not same South West that Christians were slaughtered like Rams on a Sunday morning

Like I said

Everyone must stand for his Faith in this election

Enough of these blood shedding

How many Christians have you heard shedding human blood?

So the pastor is very correct

All the Muslims being killed in east are not unnoticed.

No to christianization agenda. No!

Deborah98:
So is he going to replicate same now? Or just a reminder? We know truly what our politicians are capable of most especially the desperate ones but tables can turn around. The one we think will syphon the country's fortune may not do that but the other one who looked calmed. It's well whatever it is God Sha knows we don tire for Nigeria. Even the country can attest to this.

By your politicians, you're referring to Pandora I believe.

LegendHero:
He was 500 years old.

It seems you take your own Meth early today.

Abeg don't kill me with laughter

xcolanto:
Obi kererenke obi

Onyara, Obi

chigator2:
There is nothing like Igbos Muslims please...

They don't form a sizeable demography (< 1%) to be recognized as Igbo Muslims.
Yorubas have Muslims but not Igbos. Take Note

You better wake up to the reality.

Splitmind:
No such thing as ibo Muslim as far as I am concerned.

Who your concern help?

I met Igbo Muslim face-to-face when I visited Owerri, Imo.

istina:
RIP
Igbo-muslims sounds somehow.

Of course it will, because you're a bigot.

djon78:
Did the pastor lie

You all will be claiming secularism while the Muslims will be setting there agenda

Thank God the pastors are waking up

Christians must defend there Faith

Do you know the number of Christians that have been slaughtered this past 7 years

Like the pastor concluded

A word is enough for the wise

I will vote for my Faith simple

South West has Muslim majority, yet only one state has a Muslim governor. You people are still crying Islamization.

Na today una dey share government job for church?

Seefinish:
Waste of 10%
money fraudulently collected from Lagos state since 1999.
It won't stop him from wee wee on his body

Eeya, you better reserve some tears for 2023.

LilyColin:
Majority of Nigeria politicians are evil & unproductive.


Meanwhile, on Peter Obidient we the reasonable Oyo state youths stand gidigba

At the top of that majority is Peter OBItuary

Steven809:
This man is a real man of God

Now that a pastor is preaching religion+politics, he's a man of god. But "religion is the cause of African backwardness" if a Muslim cleric says similar thing.

You people are bunch of hypocrites.

Crixxx:
Have you rebuked your own kins men?

Yes I do. And I don't go around deflecting blame on other tribes.

Your action shows the level of inferiority complex in you.

[quote author=Crixxx post=114078887][/quote]Typical Biafran, always playing 'whataboutism' instead of rebuking his kinsmen for their evils.

pacespot:
They will soon call this one Tinubu's achievement. More like every person in that state is working for Tinubu.

Lagos is a state where informal market and commercial businesses are dominant over every other sector, which allow the government to accrue money through taxes. That is why it can afford all the developmental projects.

This outright wailing. Eeyaa, take heart. Pandora will become president by 2031.

VillageHead:
Hope it will be accessible to the poor masses too?

See subtle wailing.

Some people will say "is that what they were sent to do?".

Remember that when you meet a snake, it's either they kill it or risk being attacked by the snake.

If the snake had injured or killed one of them, these same people will be here to masturbate to the news.

Fahdiga:
As Lagosians, imagine what we would have achieved if Tinubu is not looting us dry. We can't breathe, Tinubu should leave us alone

As Anambrans, imagine how far we would have gone if Tinubu was our governor.

LordHashira:
no problem. Insurance go dey. You can't have a big car like that without having it insured. The repairs and everything go cost ororo nada.... But as for the employee OYO

Insurance company don't release funds easily.

Treasure17:
Ekiti people still in love with their oppressors.

Ekiti is the Japa destination of thousands of Easterners especially Anambrans.

Just a quick reminder in case you forgot.

Chrismania100:
That ur analysis does not hold water,cos those leaders who you praised so highly that they have solid structures &have been campaigning for people as useless as Nigeria as a country cos with their almighty structures,Nigeria as a country is the worst than sodom and gomorrah.
Stop this ur yeye structure, those people don't have anything to offer Nigeria other than their selfish interests cos they are all criminnalssss..
I am not even telling anyone not to vote for all this old cargos.Vote for them,na we all go suffer am.

Lol, and Pandora is better than them? Don't make me laugh!

NwaIdeato:
Only a neophyte would have thought a seasoned political heavyweight like Kwankwaso would agree to be PO's vice, what seems more likely from the agreement both parties will agree to is that Kwankwaso will delegate a protégé from his party who will be a Northern Muslim from the NW and will represent his interest as Obi's running mate, Kwankwaso will act as a godfather in this role and do his part in seeing that Obi makes significant inroads into Kano and parts of the North west.

Godfatherism is okay now because it's supposed to favour Pandora?

Yureyes:
That’s not the case. Nobody has said you shouldn’t criticize him. Buhari supporters did worse than this in 2015. The thing is that most of you hate Obi because he is Igbo. You guys were already criticizing him using tribal sentiments, so this MASSOB statement is just playing into your hands and you are using it to push your narrative.

We were here when people called Osibanjo names and insulted him for daring to contest primaries with Tinubu, Some of you compared it to Awolowo’s betrayal, it wasn’t a problem for you guys. Now people are criticizing Ekweremadu and Nwobodo for not supporting their own, you guys are quick to tag them IPOB. Ya’ll have been saying Obi supporters are Igbos, so I am not surprised many of you are quick to tag them IPOB. These guys already feel marginalized, it’s only normal they fight hard for the chance when they feel there’s an opportunity. Since I have followed Nigeria’s politics, this is the closest chance a SEasterner has ever had to the presidency. He is the most acceptable I have seen from his region, yet some people have taken it upon themselves to smear him.

The criticism you claim people aren’t allowed to criticize him aren’t even based on his performance as a public office holder, it’s just a smear campaign against him to demarket him.

Ya’ll have tagged his supporters IPOB, next you guys will call him IPOB sympathizer. It’s all part of the plan to make people not accept him in other part of the country. I’m not surprised.

I hope y’all get it right next year at the polls.

If an Igbo man thinks he deserves the presidency then he should earn it.

How can he earn it?
1. By investing his time, money and effort in Nigeria. We need to see that this person's blood, flesh and bone is Nigeria. Tinubu has done this, Buhari did it and Atiku too has done it. Obi is yet to convince us. How many elections has he been a part of? How many rallies has he attended? How many events has he taken part in outside his Anambra.

2. He should build bridges and gain trust across the Niger. How can you prove that you'll be a president for all of don't have connections in other geopolitical regions? See Tinubu, when his Yoruba people were against him, it was the northerners that were there for him.

No one hates Obi, they just don't see any reason to think he's not a ipob in disguise. If he knew he wanted to be president, he should have left PDP years ago and start building his structure for the past 4 years (even that might not have been enough). But the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the next best time is now. If Obi starts working now, he can be the next southern president after Tinubu.

I know 16 years is a lot of time but that's the only way to go.

Although I don't support Biafra, I still believe Igbos need to be decisive and conclusive. If it's Biafra then let it be Biafra. If it's presidency then let it be presidency. Even people who don't support you will respect you for your firm resolution. But jumping around like a mountain goat (apologies for that) will make you look irresponsible and unserious to say the least.

Fahdiga:
Good. He is a patriotic and OBIdient to our dear country

Wait, did you just refer to Nigeria as your "dear country" or you actually intended Biafra?

AderonkeOlaniyi:
Keep kwayet there!!!

We the youths from the six South-West states of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti have decided to be OBIdient!!! Come 2023, we Yorubas will vote for Peter Obi.

The Rock we know, the Rock we support!!!

No yoruba man calls himself Afonja. Only nairaland Igbos do. Your account is fake fake fake.
