Angelfrost:


Don't you worry sir.

Time never fails to tell it all!

It was glaring with Yar'adua then... Many said this same thing.

The nation's descent into all forms of chaos was clearly predicted in 2015... Many abused and doubted the realists!

Time and history cleared all doubts!

The only sad thing is the price to pay for ignoring simple and clear warnings!

I don't support Obi... It's poor to assume anyone not supporting Tinubu must be on the side of Obi.

I didn't accuse you of supporting Obi.



I only said that even the youngest of the three frontrunners can't be said to be physically and mentally fit enough to carry this cross without breaking down.



And then, concerning the predictions before Buhari, those were just embittered lamentations from sore losers.




Economists like Soludo and Sanusi had already warned that anyone who became president (whether GEJ or Buhari) would struggle.




The Economist also warned GEJ in January, 2014 to fight corruption and save money, because a terrible recession would hit the country.



People who think one man has the answer to all our questions better understand that irrespective of who wins in 2023, it wouldn't be an easy ride.



At this stage, Nigerians are not willing to hear "Give me time". Once nothing changes in a few months, the new president becomes a failure. Of course, his supporters would rally around him, but everyone would finally understand that to move this country forward, we need more than just one leader. We need every leader in every level of governance to sit up and be highly motivated to make the country work.

Angelfrost:


Tinubu winning the election is basically another Yar'adua situation!

We might as well be campaigning and voting in Boko Haram's patron into Aso Rock!

Jagaban's mental and physical health won't be able to take the toll of that office!

Don't you all think you are doing Shettima an injustice by believing (without proof) that he is the patron of Boko Haram?




And talking about mental and physical health, no one can say for certain that Obi (who is the youngest of the three frontrunners) is mentally and physically fit to handle the rigors of presiding Nigeria.

Naira20:
Guy go and read your bible well and stop giving us APC translation.

Look at the image that you are ignorantly disputing.



That was Moses holding the rod with Aaron and Hur supporting his arms.



Go and read your Bible and stop constituting a nuisance.



Don't be in a hurry to cry.



Next week Saturday is almost here.

Naira20:
Kikikiki... Unfortunately, moses didn't lift his rod like that.
I hope you didn't intend that lie for Bible readers sha?

Because Na only BATstards go believe that lie

In the battle against the Amalakites, Moses's hands were held up and supported by Aaron and Hur.



This was so because any time Moses dropped his hands, the Amalakites dealt with Israel.



So, Moses had to keep his arms up. When he got tired, Aaron and Hur had to find a stone for him to sit down on. Then, they sat on either side of him and supported his arms.

Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria.

Elidrisy20:
1962-2023

You must be blind.



Did Atsu look like someone born in 1962?




Even if he reduced his age, he could never have been older than 40.

Buksaylor:
This matter involves the CBN..as monetary issues concerns.So what has Federal Government got to do with that.

The goons didn't even study the Constitution before rushing to sue the federal government..

You need to study the suit, not the constitution.



The suit is against the implementation of the deadline.




It does not concern CBN. It is a suit directed at the FG, especially the Buhari-led executive which is the primary enforcer of laws in Nigeria.





No one is against the naira redesign. But many people are against the rapid demonetization which is causing hardship and chaos.

My God. 😟

cocoboss:


OBI is not a saint , no man can boldly declare himself a saint but Obi is far better than every other politician on the ballot

Nigeria is in a state of mess today because we chose to remain blind to the truth
We can’t get it right as a country if we don’t work together and do the right thing which is admitting that right is right and wrong is wrong

We need to get it right this time and vote for the lesser evil whom is PETER OBI

You can't tell me that Obi is the lesser evil.



You all claim Tinubu's wealth is shady. What about Peter Obi's wealth? How did Obi become wealthy?



You all claim Tinubu is corrupt, but no one has been able to beat him court.




People just shout that Tinubu is very corrupt? Tell them to present 2 corrupt cases against him, and they go mute.



If you mention Alpha Beta, don't forget Obi also saved public money in a subsidiary where he was a major shareholder, and therefore one of the owners.

cocoboss:


Wait till he gets there you will know and witness why no one can be powerful than a president

What can he do?


Can he arrest El Rufai?



The highest a president can do is to go dirty by roping a governor in acts of corruption and lobbying (bribing) the state house of assembly to impeach him.



That was what Obasanjo did to Alamieyeseigha.




Another thing is to cause unrest in the state so as to convince the NASS to support him in declaring a state of emergency.



And the way you people portray Obi as a saint, I am sure he would not behave rascally like Obasanjo.




Abi, maybe Obi is not as saintly as you people portray him.




We all know those who suffered because OBJ wanted to die in power.



But you people say Obi is different, and Obi himself has promised that he would respect rule of law.

Princesaha:

Next time comment without crying. Omo ale jati jati.

OK, who is crying between us?


😛

cocoboss:
The short demented midget has a lot of balls only because he knows he is dealing with his fellow northern brother a southern governor dare not try this with buhari

Well hell rufai I’d really love to see you try this with PETER OBI
I would love to see you try ..
I know you’re a coward yes you’re just reaping the benefits of tribalism and nepotism

You people have started with your ignorance again.



Nigeria is a federal state.



In Federal states, governors enjoy a lot of clout. In fact, they are regarded more powerful than presidents.



When DSS was sent to arrest Apostle Suleman Johnson commando-style for incitement, it was Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state that saved Suleiman.



What would Peter Obi do differently?



Would he arrest El Rufai?

Adaisback:
you are actually the foolish one here but you are not just foolish but very wicked as well

ObI is not your regular politician that you can bully and boss around like Gej. Obi is a man I know so well and Shettima will dare not batter an eyelid in his tenure. That I can bet cash on.

Stop risking the lives of millions of Nigerians. It's better you shut that trash you call mouth if you are not ready to join the rescue mission.

Blunt apostle my foot! Ekwensu!!!

The same Obi who was impeached by a common State House of Assembly or another Obi?



Is it Tinubu or Atiku that they would remove just like that?



This Obi will not even last with the NASS. He would be removed with the speed of light, and the Supreme Court would not be able to help him this time around.



Ada is back my foot!!! Ekwensu!!!

What is the essence of quoting figures?



I can imagine him cramming figures every time he has an interview to attend.



This one is a disaster waiting to happen.

iamL:


After commiting evil and destroying the lives of people/things not to mention willfully disobedience to God and his principles then during the last minute of life you think a few minutes prayer will appeased God?

If a righteous man will be saved with difficulty what hope is there for the wicked?

Temptations will always abound that's why it is written that "whoever endures to the end is the one that will be saved".

God is not to be mocked, if a man sow with a view to the flesh he will reap corruption.

Perhaps, you have forgotten the story of the thief crucified alongside Jesus Christ.



Only horrible criminals were crucified in the Roman Empire, which means the thief must have been a very horrible criminal.



Yet, a moment of change of heart brought him eternal life.

Acidosis:


No. The idea to keep our sovereign wealth funds and save for the future was a "saintly" move.

So, saving money makes one a saint?



Perhaps, you have forgotten that GEJ administration was adjudged more corrupt than the extremely corrupt Shagari administration.



If you haven't earned confidence, no one will trust you with money.




Nigerian politicians know one another. With money disappearing, and unaccounted for, the governors were not confident in the ability of the administration to safeguard saved funds.



This is Nigeria where millions of dollars can disappear without any trace.

clinician2x:


It is stupid when you support APC, they pay u peanuts u attack people for wanting to vote other parties and also protest against hardship caused by APC all withing 72 hours. How long ago did Peter do his rally in lagos and cars were destroyed in support for APC?

Don't project your corruption on me.



We saw how money has caused a rift in Labour Party.



200 million was shared as mobilization fee in a certain state.



How much did you get out of that 200 million naira?



Oh, I forgot. I heard someone misappropriated the money.

Proudlyomonna:


Hello,this is not in line with the reality we have at hand.
Here in Mile12,the Women know how to direct their curse very well, which sensible human being does not know that We are suffering this money palava bcus of the bullion van stunt wey tinubu act. Buhari has seen criminality but that bullion van madness pass him shock absorber.
We will have to for common sense reasons go with the submission of reputable organization that have a well equipped process of getting facts before saying who will Win.
On the streets of Nija now the two main word na.
APC MUST GO FOR THEY ARE THE GREATEST DISASTER TO HIT THIS COUNTRY.
Obidiati to the rescue.
You are not smarter than same Anap that predicted Bubu's Win.
Do your own survey and dispute their own.
With the way wey una take start una wailing this early ehn,be like se na 5g wailing una go dey operate with oo

Can you swear with your life that Obi will rescue the country?



Can you swear that you would not end well if Obi fails to rescue the country as president?



Can you swear that the economy will improve, inflation will reduce drastically, and Nigeria will become a producing country if Obi becomes president?



Swear with your life if you believe in Obi's competence.



I dare you.

clinician2x:


How many politicians from other parties have you seen wail out stupid complaints? Yoruba idiots.

The same urchins attacking obedients for campaigning for labour are now protesting against hardship by APC. All of una go die in those protests. Afonja cowards, anywhere belle face na front.

See as urchin mama de wail for Sango

Interesting, so only APC supporters are feeling the bite?

Acidosis:
They will still go and vote APC.


In 2015, governors ganged up against Jonathan because he refused to share Nigerian's savings and sovereign wealth funds. People refused to listen to Jonathan and his advisers like Peter Obi and Madam Iweala. We are yet to recover from that sharing till date.

We are in 2023 and the same set of criminals that attacked Jonathan are out again to act as 11th hour activists. Pay attention to the trajectory of events. They always come out few days and weeks to another election to "stand" with the people and act as the new opposition party.

Any form of protest in Abeokuta and any other APC stronghold should never be taken seriously.

Oh, so GEJ is a saint now?

Aust1n:
If you ask them what they are protesting for now some of them don’t know… wicked Nigerian leaders that induce citizens with money instead infrastructures and good jobs.

How can they not know what they are protesting about?




You really think Nigerians are so dumb.




Are you telling me that people (especially the ordinary folks) are not feeling the bite of this poorly implemented policy?



I guess the woman who went naked at Access Bank was bankrolled by a politician. She probably didn't know why she went naked.



Have you seen the current headline inflation rate?



Cost of foods has gone up. Salary remains constant, unemployment rate is not dropping, and you say people are being bankrolled to protest.

Adaisback:
Tinubu is very very sick and down. We cannot trust him to save Nigerians. Yoruba christians pls wake up. This is no longer an issue of tribe , it is now a matter of life and death but if you decide to vote in Tinubu and Shettima who obviously will be the president in disguise starts bombing south west to oblivion( God forbid o) know that I Adadike will be safe wherever I am coz God in heaven bear me witness today that I warned you all.

Supposing we agree with you that Shettima sponsors terrorism.



Do you think he would stop sponsoring it if Obi becomes president?



You see how foolish you sound?



I guess Shettima is also the one sponsoring unknown gunmen in the East.




In fact, Shettima was the one that bankrolled Evans the kidnapper.

iamL:




Last prayer does nothing.

Keeping our hands and conscience clean at all time is what will save a person because most times death issues no warning.

Last prayers do a lot.



Condemned criminals get the opportunity to say their last prayers before they are executed. In fact, they allow them access to a priest.



I hear assassins ask their victims to say their last prayers.



Keeping our hands and consciences clean is not an easy task. As long as we are flesh, temptations would always abound.



Which is why we pray for grace.

Buksaylor:


Bro..this is not a constitutional matter..the supreme Court shouldn't have dabbles into the matter and so there was no need to have have given judgement on the case.And so you think the president with the Attorney General just came out to issue executive orders knowing they are wrong...?

The Supreme Court does not dabble into matters.



Rather, matters are brought to the hearing of the Supreme Court.




Some state governments brought a suit against FG.



The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in matters between the Federation and states.



Buhari should have respected the Supreme Court order to suspend the implementation of the deadline of the old notes swap until further hearing.

Benbellamor:
What is the implication of Gov. El Rufai's countering The President Muhammadu Buhari order on the Naira notes?

if a kaduna Citizen reject old 1000 notes, will the federal police take order from State Government to Arrest such persons?...The order of the supreme court is Not a judgement but 'an interlocutory injuction'

Days ahead seems to be very interesting for politicians who stock up ill gotten wealth

please comment

El Rufai is not running a parallel government.



He is backed by the Supreme Court.

The other day, they were mocking Tinubu.



Now, that he had to pay with cash, he realized the sufferings others are going through.



One of our problems in this country is selfishness.



Supposing he wasn't required to pay with cash, he would continue to mock Tinubu.

blank:


Like the slap you receive every morning. 🙄

Sorry if I sounded rude yesterday.




But you people should not expect too much from anyone, most certainly not from a man like Peter Obi who is better off as a treasurer than an administrator.

Peter Obi is the least prepared for president.



A man who does not understand the concept of separation of power cannot respect the rule of law.



For the fact that he said he would subject all arms of government to routine auditing shows that he does not know the limitations of a president's power.




If, by mistake, he wins, he will start making excuses like Buhari did when he said he wishes he was in the military era where he had absolute power.



Peter Obi should know that being president in a federalism comes with immense challenges.



In fact, in Nigeria, a governor is more powerful than a president.



His followers should also tone down their expectations.



One man cannot change the country.




Especially one man from a party that lacks political structure.

blank:


Eff you. Wasn't talking to you and I know how governance works. Doesn't stop me from expressing my wishes.

Look at a so-called future leader of tomorrow.



No wonder the lying machine Peter Obi is able to swindle you with his lies.



You know how governance work, but are charging a president to overhaul the Supreme Court.




If I were close to you, I would have given you a staggering, factory-resetting slap.

blank:
I want you to overhaul the supreme court. Can't trust them.

That is the problem with you people.


You don't understand how governance work.



The president cannot overhaul the Supreme Court.



He doesn't have the power to.




I laugh at many of you who keep bragging that Obi would do this or that.



Some ignorant fellow even said Obi would stop Tinubu from feeding fat on Lagos money.




Anyway, I don't blame you. Even your Obi does not know the limits of a president's power in a federalism.



He once said he would subject all arms of government to routine auditing. 🤓

Up till last year, you could not use your keyboards emoji on nairaland other than the ugly and ancient ones provided by the platform. But now you can use your keyboards emoji which is more sophisticated and beautiful.🥀🥀🥀🌲🌳🏔️

I noticed it this week and I tried it on a post and bingo! 🐩it worked. Other people have taken notice and are using this.

Yorubas have a saying: "The person watching you is smarter than you".



If someone has 100 guns, the person stalking them has the advantage even if he has just one gun.



One thing that chills me about AKA's death is that it came without any warning.



He did not even see it coming.



He certainly didn't have the time to say his last prayers.
