iwaeda: Disturbing other people's business for their selfishness acts. Eko Bridge is under repair for months. Yaba/Muritala Mohammed is no go area. What a wicked set of people This is Lagos they are boasting about. Anyone that have functions tomorrow is messed up.
So they are wicked for repairing and maintaining infrastructure? Smh ! I don't even know what to call you .
sureteeboy: Politicians model everything they're expected to be during campaign. The moment campaign is over, they revert to their default state
Don't blame them, Blame the masses who keep falling for their gimmicks. From gej " fresh air" ,to buhari " change ", now it is " we no dey give shishi" . Nigerians never learn.
Arrewa: This is the Oil Prospecting Lease (OPL) 810, the Kolmani oil field site, located in Gombe/Bauchi States.
The first oil drilling in the Northeastern part of this country is taking place today, at the Oil Prospecting Lease (OPL) 809 and 810 at the Kolmani oil field site located in Bauchi and Gombe States.
The first oil field in the northern part of the country.
Thank you, Baba Buhari!!
Watch how the north will use this oil judiciously.
Racoon: The notorious hypocritical and sanctimonious lifestyle of President Muhammadu Buhari always beclouds his sense of sound judgement that he does not even know when sarcasm is staring him in the eyes.
This tells a lots how the man is totally out of touch with the reality of life Nigerians have been exposed under his disastrous government for the past 7 years.
Yet you want to add another miser in Obi to the list of leaders Nigeria will have? Suffer no dey tire you ? From gej I had no shoes ,to bubu I have one house to obi I have one wrist watch and carry my bag ,can't you guys see the pattern and ask yourselves who benefits in the long run ? The masses never benefits from such people mentioned above .
Octopusssy: Did you consult God when you chose your life partner?
Consulting God has nothing to do with success of a marriage, God will not come down to live with you and your partner, I have seen Christians who claimed they heard God clearly still divorce .
swaggerjack: I support Peter Obi, but he needs to stop with the lies.
Claimed in an interview with Rufai Oseni he didn't invest in his family business and in another interview with Kadaria Ahmed claimed he invested in his family business and Anambra gained from it after kadaria ahmed grilled him like a Coven goat about investing Anambra state money in his family business.
In the video he even had a bonus lie that he left almost 100b and should be celebrated. Like I have said often, if he wins next year a lot of his fans will be grossly disappointed 4 years from now .
pocohantas: When you are with a man whose gbola is private, you will glow and feel like a Disney princess. But when you are with a community gbola, you can’t have rest of mind. It is either you are attending fire vigils, storming his office impromptu or driving fast and furious only to end up dead.
Just look at how beautiful and at peace his wife looks.
Imagine if it were Apostle Suleiman or Tuface that posted that picture. Imagine the comments that would follow…then tell me why women won’t age faster than men in marriage.
Your 0wn no dey pass marriage , man , etc .... dem use Man take swear for you?
obedience4: Haha, well there is no pap in the city of brotherly love, But when I was still in the shitehole I love pap, But it beats me why you are using a Mobile phone you should be using town Crier's to communicate since that's what your fore father's use since you are anti west and not a slave. Your moniker is banardtotti, I guess that what your father gave you? You claim to hate the west yet you are proud to use a Scottish orgih name Bernard, and a Italian name totti, Whose the fool now?
Now I know that you an ignorant slave, the Greeks learned from the Egyptians but didn't become slaves to them , the Romans learned from the Greeks but didn't become slaves , the Chinese learned from the west but didn't become slaves , why can't you as an African learn from the west and maintain your uniqueness? Simply because you have been brainwashed that anything white is good or superior to others .
obedience4: Shut up ifantino, why won't you defend Qatar After you have taken millions, Thousand of migrate workers especially from Africa died just because the qatari qoverment wants to host a world cup
I knew it was just a matter of time a black slave will come defend his white slave masters . Smh !!!!
Kobonaire234: Well, we said the same thing about PDP....repeatedly.
At the end, EVERY african country has the same problem. Our currencies are weaker than they were at introduction...because we don't vote for leaders who will MAKE US MORE MONEY.
If Obi had a chance of winning, maybe he might be able to make us more productive (I can't see Tinubu or Atiku doing same).
As for ASUU strike...government and ASUU know that the solution is to either raise school fees, or raise taxes, or remove subsides and use the savings for education. All are politically unpopular solutions.
Finally! one logical nairalander, you understand how things work, to be honest I don't think Obi can do anything extra , if we want to use antecedents of the past to judge all 3 major candidates the person who can actually move Nigeria economically forward is tinubu , from a logical point of view not based on sentiments, just antecedents.
You can't give what you don't have ,same infrastructure he didn't build in his state or did low quality job, you now expect him to deliver infrastructure across Nigeria? Smh ,if obi enters office many of you will be disappointed and shocked after the first 4 years .
BABANGBALI: GENERAL IHEJIRIKA, EX COAS HAS BURNT THE TABLE DESTROYED BY SOLUDO PATAPATA....... assignment for Obidients
*Former chief of army staff, Gen Azubuike Ihejirika (rtd) writes:*
*"FOOLISH IS NOT IGBO"*
*BACKGROUND*
*1. Since 1999, the SouthEast had belonged to the ruling political party at the centre---Fed Govt, which we had overwhelmingly voted for, in all past elections, and the party had over 15 unbroken years in power. Most Igbo elites of today (political, socio-cultural, business, and to some extent, clerical), made their fortune and fame during that period. The ruling party lost presidential election in 2015, and a new coalition party came to power. This category of Igbo elites were angry at the loss of political offices and influence, with the perquisites involved; patronage in contracts and appointments into the boards of Fed Govt MDAs, etc. They could not come to terms with the change.*
*2. Even before the new President was sworn-in, the pro-Biafran IPOB group, which had campaigned for the then ruling party in 2014, had started a vicious campaign of hate, abuses and lies against the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, and his ethnic group, and the North in general. The disgruntled elites kept supporting and fueling the campaign. It didn't matter that SouthEast was visibly getting more infrastructural development in the fewer years of the present Fed Govt than it got in the longer period of the past ruling party. All that ruled the day were anger, hate, venting the spleen, pull-down-the-roof mindset.*
*3. The IPOB pro-Biafran agitation had been an umbrella for sundry youth criminal groups: armed robbers, cultists, ritualists, fraudsters, drifters, etc. Their common uniting factor is anachist inclination and proclivity for violence, which is justified as a necessary requirement of a "revolution" to first destroy the existing system, and when the "revolution" has succeeded, then you rebuild everything better. The youths were brainwashed on such diet. The various groups cooperated in sourcing for arms and ammunition for the "revolution", to imbue themselves with greater authority. The disgruntled elites promoted and supported it, as long as it was primarily directed at the Fed Govt and its facilities in the SouthEast. The elites never believed in any Biafran "revolution" though. They knew it cannot happen. The campaign was all provocative rascality, insults and abuses in a running hate propaganda and lies, being juiced with doctored and photo-shopped video clips and a steady flow of fake news. And it was all sweet melody as long as it was directed at President Buhari and his Govt.*
*4. Sample: There are four (4) military service chiefs, and normally, two come from the North, and two from the South. It is still the same under the present Fed Govt. But you could hear every imaginable twisted narrative and lies about marginalisation and sectionalism against the South and the Igbos in particular. Since this 4th Republic started in 1999, Nigeria has had four (4) Presidents, including the present one. Two had come from the South (Obasanjo and Jonathan from SouthWest and SouthSouth respectively), and two from the North (Yar' Adua and Buhari, both from NorthWest). So, out of the six geopolitical zones, three have produced the President and three have not. This is public knowledge.*
*5. You can hear some highly placed Igbo leaders/opposition politicians shouting loud and clear that only the SouthEast has not produced a President since 1999 while all other zones have done so, and that this is injustice and inequity against Igbos and that Nigeria cannot survive without justice and equity. That's like insulting the sensibilities of other members of the Nigerian space, as well as issuing a threat. And those leading this chorus are well educated, very knowledgeable and internationally exposed persons who the less educated and ignorant masses look up to, for facts and guidance. When the base human emotions, the animal human nature, takes over, intellect and enlightenment is relegated. Such brazen lies are told to whip up rash emotions and victimhood mindset which lead to dishing out insults, abuses and hate speech against some other members of the Nigerian space.*
*6. You cannot win the free-will votes of Nigerians by such method. Or do we think we can go to court, obtain an injunction, then come back to nominate a President which Nigerians must accept without voting, or must vote for, all because "it is our turn"? Meanwhile, some other leaders from other parts of the country have been busy building and mobilising grassroot support from across the zones, with a view to gaining their votes in next year's presidential election. Are we expecting they should do the cultivation labour and then hand over the harvest to us, because "it is our turn"? Foolish is not Igbo.*
*7. Some of our loud voices believe so much in Josef Goebbels' strategy of Big-Lie: Tell the lie boldly and repeatedly, and the masses will believe it to be the truth. Nazi Germany applied it in its drive to exterminate the Jews and "rid Europe of inferior nations", while deceiving the wider world as to the true situation on the ground. But that did not go far before Germany suffered a devastating collapse, and the future generation learnt to say, "never again". If some of the Igbo leaders of today continue to rely on such strategy, then we could expect a similar backlash, because this form of dirty politics breeds violent conflict and destruction.*
*8. The vicious campaign failed to bring down President Buhari's Govt, and did not also succeed in intimidating and blackmailing the President to do their dictate. Their game plan did not work out. Contradictions set in, and in a twist, the mad dog trained to attack the enemy, turned against its master breeder, and we are all caught up in a fix, confused about the way out. Some prominent spokesmen would attack the person of the President: that he has been romancing Boko Haram and bandits in the North, releasing them and granting them amnesty, while refusing to release a freedom fighter (Nnamdi Kanu) who has not committed any offence, and that Nigeria will know no peace if he is not released. At the same time, another top leader of the same group would say they are appealing or pleading with the President to release the detainee in order to douse tension in the SouthEast, because it's all about equity and fairness, and that is the only way for Nigeria to move forward; that the President is the father of the nation and should forgive the detainee as his son. This is not how to seek for "political solution" if they think that's what they are doing. They are still dishing out insults and threats.*
*QUESTIONS:*
*9. What plan has the Igbo leaders laid out to get the armed gangs to renounce violence, surrender their weapons and be rehabilitated in a kind of amnesty program?* *Or are they thinking that the Fed Govt should keep quiet and watch armed gangs of non-state actors take over the space and dictate what happens, by using threats and wanton violence? No responsible national government anywhere in the world will tolerate that. Threats, blackmail and insults cannot work here. Nor will simpletonic cunning and fox game work. We must take responsibility, with forthright approach in seeking solution to the problem, then we could be sure of cooperation and support from the Fed Govt, particularly in the area of funding.*
*10. Those talking of "unconditional release' of Nnamdi Kanu, from the ongoing terrorism-related court trial, are simply jesting, dancing to cheap gallery, entertaining and deceiving themselves and the local folks. It shows crass insensitivity and total disregard to serious national-security concern, as well as insulting the sensibilities of other groups of Nigerian stakeholders. We better wisen up and think better.*
*11. Recall that this group of pro-Biafran agitators were attacking and destroying Fed Govt facilities in the SouthEast, attacking and killing duty police men and women and their stations burnt, as well as attacking members of other Fed Govt security agencies, and killing Igbo leaders and peasants who disagreed with their method. How many of these elders publicly spoke out against that? It was as if some of them were celebrating the feat and blaming the Fed Govt for creating the situation. That was before the leader of the group was re-arrested outside the country and brought home to face court trial. Has the group denounced such violence?*
*12. Now that the monster we created has turned back to attack us, we must take responsibility, with a spirit of forthrightness and atonement, in seeking for solution to the problem. Empty grandstanding, cunning and fox game, can only drag and worsen the situation. President Buhari will soon complete his tenure of office and another President (most likely from the SouthWest) will take over, and we could again start attacking him with insults, abuses and hate propaganda, which will lead us nowhere and cannot succeed in intimidating the new person to do our biddings".*
Copied from the wall of Dafila Rotimi Ayoku-Owolawi
So you copied something from one strangers wall and it didn't look fishy to you ? I don't know how you guys feel posting unverified articles up and down and treating it as the gospel truth ?
Their eye don clear , in a bid to spite one man due to hate who lives in lagos they voted pdp and a mediocre as governor, I have no sympathy for them .
Racoon: Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is there in body without any iota of enthusiasm but just to show face as he was not wearing the APC campaign regalia to mark attendance. This was not the case in 2015 and 2019.
While Senator Ahmed Lawan seems to be saying "I was supposed to be the anointed consensus candidate but you bulldozed everyone and dollarised the primary. Oní kurè!
Adams oshiomhole did not wear campaign regalia same as hope uzodinma, so I take it they also were only there in body and not as a whole? You guys just spend time putting together funny stuffs. Just accept the fact Apc didn't implode the way you all expected , and if you guys don't start aggressively marketing your candidate , apc will shock you with a massive victory in February.
VULCAN: Since you insulted the fellow let me insult you too!
If you were not so daft you would have known that with a presidential pardon he will be free to contest.
And anyone that knows Nigeria won't be stupid enough to say that cannot happen
You are the daft fool here ,so Nigeria will pardon hush for a conviction done in USA that had no biz with Nigeria, you should be ashamed of yourself for being so daft !
slivertongue: In the last six months, the likes of Senators Uche Ekwunife and Ike Ekweremadu, Chimaraoke Nnamani, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, Governors Hope Uzodinma, David Umahi, Pastor Poju Oyemade, Adeyanju Deji , Fr. Ejike Mbaka, Arch Bishop Chukwuma and any other person who has dared to cast aspersion on the person of Mr. Peter Obi or who even attempted to suggest that Peter Obi cannot win the presidential election by available statistics have received brutal social media lynching by the Obi-dient mob
But why are bothered? Is he living theirs lives?
Where is Peter obi and labor party's manifesto? Its been 2 weeks since they dropped that rubbish that they quickly retracted and promised they will release the so called real version 2 Fridays ago .
jerk: I am thoroughly embarrassed about the level of hostility being exhibited by our brother and friend Prof Charles Soludo towards Peter Obi. He cannot claim to be self-made. People like us participated in making him. I was Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council at the University of Nigeria when his papers came for approval for professorship. I could have found reason to withhold or deny assent, but we put him out and praised his work. That made President Obasanjo appoint him Economic Adviser without hesitation.
Three years later, three of us Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili and I were attending a conference in Brussels when President Obasanjo called Ngozi Okonjo Iweala who was Finance Minister to ask for the nomination of Governor of Central Bank. We gave a unanimous vote for Prof Charles Soludo...Ministers of Finance, Education and Due Process. As Ndigbo we were proud to support our brother. He was not the sole candidate. Obasanjo gave him the position. Everyone rejoiced. That was the power of Umunna.
Years later, I cannot imagine the same person who benefitted resoundingly from the support of Umunna being the one to pull down his own brother who is enjoying overwhelming support elsewhere. I am truly ashamed of him.
Ndigbo should not allow Soludo to get away with this. He should be made to withdraw all his damaging statements against Obi. There is still time for him to reverse himself in this matter. Ndigbo must not allow him to get away with this.
kk2027: No matter how much propaganda they throw in to distract us, we the youths have chosen to run for presidency through PO and wont be distracted by candidates that cant even grant ordinary interview to explain how drug money got into their accounts
You left the 30, 40 and 50 something year old candidates to support a 60 plus year man nd call him youth candidate? You guys are very amusing

Bigchristo: Lets be realistic about this Soludo thread, He said Peter Obi was among Good luck Jonathan government who advised him on economy, do you people know that Charles Soludo is part of president Buhari economy advisory team committee? So compare the both governments and judge for yourself
This is the problem you guys always think in a pedestrian way , if you logically want to compare buhari and gej economic policy and results, buhari is better putting into consideration the circumstances buhari had to deal with ( low oil prices, covid , etc ) Gej had a smooth environment to build on for close to 5 years , the global economy and oil prices began to dip 6 months before Gej left office .
famouscargo4u: How low can people go? Even the court confirmed that he worked there and got the salary he earned then to determine that his income was above his salary. By the way, it was Haskins and sells that metamorphosed into Delloite.
Unfortunately you are one of the few who pay attention to little details many others out of sentiment nd hate won't look at the matter wholistically .
StUriah: Investing in Cannabis is not bad. Stop spoiling business for great investors.
Iron Mike Tyson is doing this business in the US, nobody is disturbing him.
It is not yet legal in Nigeria, lobby your lawmakers to make it legal first before you think of venturing into that biz or else, you will only have yourself to blame when they come after you.
