If Peter Obi wasn't there en, the way tinubu conducted his campaign with those meetings would have been applauded.. But Obi just took campaigning to a whole new level that whatever the others have done seems ordinary.

The townhall with students.
The townhall by his wife.
The rallies by Obidients without his presence and no mobilisation.
I heard Aisha confirming that Obi has carried 70% of this campaign with his money.
This man get money ooo.. Make we forget this whole talk of being stingy.. Obi get money dieee😩

DeadPresidents:
The best route is getting mentored by Senior Product Designers. The main problem though is, the best ones are rarely interested in mentoring anyone. UI/UX design is a really rigorous field (as opposed to what many people think) because there are so many principles to learn.

You have to understand how to find the perfect balance between aesthetics, psychological reinforcement, and business decisions.

This guy (Erik D. Kennedy) has really good stuff on UI design: https://www.learnui.design/

Shameless plug: I just got my visa on Monday. I'm selling my house stuff in case anyone you know is interested. I'll be meeting a top product designer in Berlin so I'll ask him if he's willing to mentor budding designers.

larride:
Welcome.

Theres this guy on Twitter that you can attend his class, hes very good. He teach UX engineering. You can also learn low code tools like web flow and bubble from him. Joseph Brendan. You can search for him, he also has a lot of tutorial videos on YouTube. I think hes the founder of dev and design (Not sure). He started a product design class this monday.

But personally, I will recommend you go to a physical class. I attended UnivelCity, its located at Yaba. Their 3 month product class is 300k

You can send a DM. I can share resources with you.

DeadPresidents:
Sure.

Won't lie, this current tech job market is harsh on product people, especially starters. Been searching for junior product designer roles for a friend's brother but I only see internships. I will advise people working in product design to build a portfolio and chase freelancing. My younger brother is a UI/UX designer with many years of experience and he currently freelances (mostly because he dislikes company work)

If you as a young tech savvy person living in Lagos has to go through all these hoops to change your money and ensure you are not stranded by next week, imagine what your retiree aunty, your petty trader and farmer in interior Ebonyi Ekiti and Gombe will go through

And who will they blame? At the time of an election is when you are expected to be of good behavior not fuel scarcity and throwing the cash dependent economy into chaos

If you are the ticket holder of APC and all these are happening what would be going on in your mind?

How do you campaign when people's cash are useless in their hand

GloriousGbola:
I think you mean betray and backstab na fulani man, or at least Buharis motto.

Ibime:
Buhari done respond. . .saying the purpose of redesign is to stop vote buying and voter intimidation and "that's what he wants to go down in history for"

Simply put, Naira redesign is aimed at Bullion van movements

Oh boy, Buhari really carry Tinubu for mind

I dont think you are getting the point Larride is making

If you deposit old notes, you will only get old notes in return. Over the counter, banks are paying old notes.

The ATMs will only give you a maximum of 20k if you try to withdraw with your banks card on your banks machine. If you try your card on another banks machine you will only get 5k. E.g, Zenith bank ATM on zenith bank machine will give you 20k new notes. Zenith bank ATM on fidelity banks Machine will give you 5k.

I also know for a fact that banks have now dispersed 100 naira notes to their various branches because they still don't have enough new notes. The plan is to start paying 100 naira notes from the first of February. What will that solve? How many 100 naira notes can they possibly have? How many 100 naira notes will you have in 10 million naira?

Larride is actually right. There is serious chaos coming.

[color=royalblue]Fuel is 280 naira at the depot. I bought 330 yesternight.

There is fuel, and its true.

But when your capital no reach to buy am nko? [/color]

obainojazz:
Lol at no fuel scarcity first six years of bubu’s tenure 🤣🤣

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I understand the friction that will come up next concerning the policy, but i don't see how that is enough reason to start crying foul.

We can talk about the scarcity, and i could see some reasons, but definitely not this policy[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Are you not seeing your rallies?

Can't you see the crowd in interior villages in the NW and NE, waiting for a Renewed Hope?

You point would fly if the population were literate enough to see where APC has led this country into. But 75% are not, and to your advantage, that is the number with most PVCs.

He is very good to go, IMO.

What he is crying about is what Obi and Atiku should be doing. Definitely not from the man that hopes to build on Buhari's legacies[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Looks like a better explanation, because the cry no just follow.[/color]



[color=royalblue]But it is the opposition that is expected to lament over it. I have not seen where Obi, Atiku or Kwankwaso have made statements lamenting on how the naira redesign or policy is frustrating their plans.

Unless he has plans to share vans on that day, I don't see why he is complaining. [/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How does the redesign of the naira, and the policy affect Tinubu's chances?

I am still trying to understand this.[/color]

Theflint1:
Dem don dey attack Buhari o 🤣🤣🤣

“They don’t want this election to hold. They want to sabotage it (elections). Will you allow them?”, Tinubu asked the teeming supporters at the rally, to which they responded “No.”

“Even if they said there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They have a lot of mischief; they could say there is no fuel. They have been scheming to create fuel crisis, but forget about it.

“Let them increase the price of fuel, only them know where they have hoarded fuel, they hoarded money, they hoarded naira; we will go and vote and we will win. Even if they changed the ink on Naira notes. Whatever their plans, it will come to nought. We are going to win. Those in the PDP will lose (won ma lule).

Donjazet2:
Such a powerful thread from David hundeyin.

Blueraydick you need to see this.

It's mesmerising seeing someone utilise the Power of words. This David is goddamn astute and brilliant.
What do you think of this his thread?

https://twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/status/1618325001102594050?t=X_MI5ZSVc4CeQaRq3fqPdg&s=19[/quote]He made some sense, but he also goofed on some things in that thread as well. The guy below did justice to one of his points I don't agree with.

I also do not understand what he was trying to insinuate when he added Funsho Williams' pictures to the thread. We've been through that already on this very thread ; Most of the evidences suggested Williams was killed by Lagos PDP members some of which were arrested and spent months in incarceration under a PDP federal government. Williams' wife also barred some of the Lagos PDP members from their home because she believed they took him out. So I wonder why David is still pointing at Tinubu concerning that?

His reference to Colombia being overrun by the Cali cartel and the likes is very instructive. That's why some of us keep shouting about the agbero menace and institutionalizing thuggery which some people tend to see as a way of government managing security/the teeming population of unemployed youth. One of my ogas do tell us how things weren't this bad back then; how nobody will finish secondary school and be thinking of doing "owo mi da" at different junctions running after commercial buses or container laden trucks. He talks about how Asian countries with large population build on their human capital with so many small business hubs like those who sew jerseys for big sports wear companies, those assemble phones and accessories etc. That's what economies that intend to really grow do, not having agberos doing absolutely nothing but extort money from hardworking citizens only for them to marry numerous wives, send their children to foreign varsities and buy expensive cars for their GFs.

raumdeuter:
You are right as far as I know

The runner up in the primary becomes the candidate. I think Amaechi did not contest for governorship in 2007, Celestine Omehia won but Amaechi was awarded the mandate by court

StarchAndBanga:
First runner up after the elections?

Or u mean his deputy will contest as Governor in his stead?

Ihebu4chelsea:
Prof Ikonne (PDP Guber Candidate Abia state) is Dead.... Who will be the new Flagbearer?? I need to understand what Pdp is planning to do!

Spy360:
Does that include you? As long as it does no problems

Hijacking of deals no be new thing sha. Almost all players no loyal

raumdeuter:
How many people do this to powerful influential men and live to tell the story?

Spy360:
How?

We will take the information they have given us and leave them to die with their evil consciences. I mean FFK and co.

Spy360:
How?

Spy360:
We are not doubting that there are hypocrites. What we are saying is that we are not being fooled by them.

@Raumdeuter, Oasisx, Blueraydick

Jodera:
I remember correctly begining of this season when Saka wasn't really explosive even when we're playing beautifully. Guys here were blaming Saka and some was even suggesting he should be benched. I remembered saying that Saka will come good as he's good now that, that's how he started slowly last season before he exploded. Now we're all enjoying the benefits as Saka have finally found his game again. Same thing with Odegaard

raumdeuter:
^^ The above is from Dapo Apara the same man who took Tinubu to court on the allegation of corruption through Alpha Beta

Spinning a story is the easiest thing for a Politician

Lindsey Graham on Trump in 2015

“jackass,” a “kook,” “a race-baiting bigot,” and “the most flawed nominee in the history of the Republican Party If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

"I think he's a kook," Graham said in February 2016. "I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office.

Lindsey Graham on Trump in 2017

“I am like the happiest dude in America right now,” a beaming Graham said on “Fox & Friends.” “We have got a president and a national security team that I’ve been dreaming of for eight years.”

Seunn: What did you mean by the statement that BAT s closer to 100yrs

FFK : I was going by statements in newspapers and media by people I thought knew him, I admit I was not close to him at that time. When I got to meet Asiwaju recently, I discovered that I was misled by those altered images and mischievous commentators to malign a good man.

See him he has been more active than most people in the campaign trail, Will a man close to 100yrs have that type of energy? This is a man very sound, and way above his peers

Itsrm:
I just found out today that this man is 81 years. Make of it what you will
