Dino was so annoying and asked the most stupid question.

tinsel:
Tinubu, is more experienced. You guys can now see why he is avoiding all these mixed gatherings.

But he's absence is the reason for a mixed gathering. LP has said they won't debate with VP candidates. Not that they won't debate with other parties.

BloomingDale:
Fulanis (Atiku) and Igbos (Obi) don't want restructuring, but Yorubas (Tinubu) do, so I will still be thinking of whom to vote for since we Niger Deltans want restructuring.

Same Shettima that said, "Restructuring my foot"? Lie another one please.

Reminds me of the Mary Antoinette lady that kinda caused the French revolution. She said that if they don't have bread to eat, let them eat cake.

All these politicians with their yeye eye service.

How does it help them? All the people that have died and you've not suspended your political engagements before this.

inoki247:
Even if dem put For sale tag on the country I no sure say dem go see buyer....

They will. New owner will sack everyone and start afresh.

duro4chang:
Wailer, let it get to your brain that the man tinubu is the best man for the job. The incoming president. E pain you? Aswear e sweet me.

Funny that a few years ago, wailers were APC. Now, APC is in power, they are calling others wailers. Time and chance sha.

Pay doctors well and you'll not have these issues.

scicey:
Hi, are there any challenges of using a compound surname in Nigeria especially when filling forms?

Yes. Some forms don't allow a hyphen. But I don't care. It's my name.

Kaysalas:
Why are you beating about the bush? The question bothered on him being a net importer, thereby making him an antithesis of some kind, when he claimed consumption to production mantra. And he went ahead and said he only imports 25%, how is that a logical answer to the question? If already 75% of his wares are locally produced, why the move Nigeria from consumption to production mantra? Reason my friend, reason!

I thought we were still on the matter of prisons. Is Peter Obi the only distributor in Nigeria? I don't get your point. You don't think we need to move from consumption to production?

Kaysalas:
Maybe I missed it, the question again was ; you have been accused of being the biggest net importer, isn't that a contradiction when you say you are gonna move the country from consumption to production (rephrased to the best of my ability as I nor get time to watch again), kindly highlight succinct and cogent response from what Obi said here. I dey wait

Last response on this as I really don't like repeating myself. Rufai's question started as a rebuttal to his earlier response on agriculture. Rufai mentioned it wasn't that easy because of bandits and criminality before going on to ask the question on him being an importer. He has answered the criminality question and then gone on to talk about him being an importer. It's how conversations work.

Post the original, anu

Make me na. Anupama.

Drekaz:
Lol...you people still respond to this brainless gay looking for where his next meal will come from?

I did it for people who don't research on their own so they don't leave with the wrong ideas.

byteem:
Dudw i watched the entirw 1 hour session it was mind blowing .. top notch engaging .. i dare atiku and your bat to do thesame

I'm Obidient and we are saying the same thing. I'll say it was one of his best interviews. That's someone who knows his manifesto inside and out. Doesn't need someone to prepare documents for him.

Kaysalas:
So for your mind, what Obi said is a logical answer to the question asked. Please, take a piece of paper and write down the Question he was asked about being a big net importer, then listen to his defense again. Then judge objectively if this Obi get sense

It was a very logical answer. He likes to give context before he gives an answer and that's okay. He answered the security question first and then the allegations of him being an importer and so how will he say he will move the country from consumption to importation. It was a very good response.

voltron14:
Doesn't that tell you Obi is ignorant?

Criminals exist in society because some people like to cut corners.

Norway despite its wealth and equitable distribution of wealth still has criminals and prisoners.

Yes, but in Nigeria, a lot of the criminality is also people looking for their daily bread.

karnafiu03:
I personally watched the program...that was his answer, I actually don't know why he diverted the question though. You can download the complete interview online.

Please listen to it for yourself.

From 33mins. He answered the security question first. He said he went to the prisons and saw people in jail for 30k, 50k meaning if they had something productive to do it would reduce criminality. They would be part of the people earning income. On the issue of his importation, he was a distributor when he was in business. He has also invested in manufacturing. He distributed many things including manufactured goods etc. That only 25% of his operations was imports, the rest were local. He supplied everyone including Nduka Obaigbena, Thisday Chairman. He was a major distributor for Coca-Cola.

Don't just listen to soundbites that people share for whatever purpose, research for yourself.

asanausana91:
I have watched the live on arise TV.

So why are you asking me to transcribe for you? If you've forgotten the response, rewatch and refresh your memory.

XerXers:
Other candidates will soon copy

Not good for the climate though.

asanausana91:
tell me the answer he gave when he asking about production as an importer?

Listen to it yourself or read other people's summary. Start the video from 33minutes.

Keep up with your cut and join videos. You cut the first part of Rufai's question that mentioned insecurity. You cut the remaining part of Obi's answer where he started with how people were in prisons for petty amounts which could be solved by them having something productive that brings income and would reduce insecurity. And then he answered the rest of the question.

Ologundudu2020:
Good day! So I’m wondering if people still dump long healthy and lasting relationships for genotype sagas.


Cos I’m not about to lose a very healthy and long lasting 10yrs relationship for nothing.

Do people still dump themselves for this blood Genotype issues, or there are alternatives, this 2022 it’s been long I heard close relatives or friends having issues like that, I’m probably not exposed enough tho.

We both As in genetype, and I’m working on finding a better way to make this work, she’s all I’ve got fr and I’m already in my early 30s.


I’m not a fan of too many child, you can be a great parent even with adoption, but I still want a child with her exactly. She’s has to look like her self lol �

Pls what’s your take, can I have this girl to myself or is still the shout of quit?

Marriage is not all about kids. If you want kids with her, there are medical procedures that will ensure your kids are AA or AS. But it will cost money. Don't bring an SS child into this world. It's not fair on the child.

dustydee:
I think you mis read his comment. He said:

The MPs have elected him, will the public? Remember, the conservative party members were not going to vote for him if Boris had made it to the ballot.

The video below sums up whay Phy123 was talikng about. Let's stop living in denial.

I don't agree. Boris got 102 nominations while Sunak got 177. With more nominations than Boris, means that more Tory MPs wanted him as PM than Boris. If he is able to turn the economy around post Brexit, he will win any general elections called. Right now, no Tory PM will win if an election is called.

KGD10:
Seyi is a barrister! Your Peter Obi's children live in abroad but you're crying over Tinubu? You dey ment

Barrister in what law firm?

BATified2023:
was that not the same agricultural diversification tinubu was talking about that ignorant folks are mocking him with?

It’s obvious we are heading for doom with our over dependence on oil but someone is telling us how we can make headway from agriculture but some people who have been programmed to wail even if it will help them start mocking tinubu


This is what reasonable people also feel about it

Let's not play fast and loose with the facts. Tinubu was talking about eating corn while we want to move from the base of raw materials and start refining and manufacturing. That's the only way to actually compete and reduce dependence on oil.

Stenvee:
Nigerians talk fast?
To me o, I think it is the oyibos that rap when they talk

I used to think so but I've been told I talk too fast and this is me that talks at a slower rate than average. Now, I draw my words out and inflect in the middle of my sentences to mimic how they sound but I haven't changed my accent. I'm not even conscious of my accent. I'm more interested in the inflections in speech and the cadence.

Gemma11:
The highest is 45% and it is tiered like this.

You know that the tax on the higher bands is on incremental income and not the entire income? For example, if you earn 120k, income below 50k is taxed at 20%, income from 51k is taxed at 40%. It would be better to talk about the effective tax rate which is more like the average of the rates for your income band as that is closer to reality.

Lexusgs430:
Driving a manual car, is like knowing how to properly ride a bicycle..........

You never forget, once you put your hands on the gear lever....... You always remember, that clutch bite point .........

Lol. I know. Was exaggerating. But he is not well versed in manual so will be challenging for him. Especially with them driving on the wrong side of the road.

progress160:
Hello guys. I have a serious issue. I arrived the UK few weeks ago. My employer wanted to give me the company car today for visiting clients and told a south African guy to accompany me to test my driving. It was quite different from the manual car i drove in naija and I had issues putting it in gear one. The guy just looked at me for close to ten minutes as I tried to put it in gear one in the roads in and afterwards he shouted on me to come down tgat that he is going to report me to the office that I can't drive. He drove to the office and worked in to discuss with the boss. My boss didn't wait to hear from me and said I have to go back to my country since I can't drive. I insisted I can drive. She said she can't enter the car to test my driving but my manager convinced her to and joined at the back. She however explained how to put it in gear one and I drove them for a short distance.

She said I should come and drive her husband round the city tomorrow to prove my driving prowess. She insisted i get a car immediately and said my case will be determined tomorrow.

I heard the SA guy is bringing his sister-in-law to the company. Don't know what to think right now or what to say to them tomorrow. I need advice

Can you not tell her to give you time to get your UK manual car license so you can use that time to go to a driving school? Been a long time I drove manual and I don't think I can still drive one

UjuJoan2:
Do you know that some people don’t know they are having contractions until it’s almost too late. What do you think happens when you hear a woman gave birth in a bus or in the market?

In the case you mentioned, she knew she was having contractions and he still insisted.

UjuJoan2:
Nothing wrong with having sex before childbirth. It’s after delivery you need to let the body heal.

While you are having contractions?

Which Macron did he meet?
