poorest of the paupers in yoruba land...If u don't understand the thread, lemme enlighten u small, it means igbo will always prosper and progress bcox of their hard working nature unlike u lazy, dirty ass lookin lots that alwaz depend on people to backstab or lick their asses before seeing 1naira even to eat.

So, it is all the Igbos in Southwest that are prospering?




Hope you know that we have Hausas prospering in Southwest? We have many fellow Yorubas prospering as well.




It is just that you Igbos are noisemakers. You brag even more than those who are richer and better than you.




You will find one Hausa man who has made millions in Lagos keeping a low profile. But let one Igbo man make a few bucks, and he would be walking anyhow.

I used a Fireman "I better pass my neighbour" generator early 2010s.



There was absolutely nothing that this generator did not fry.



It fried my TV, extension box, phone and laptop chargers, adaptors, bulb.




I still have that generator in my house but I have not used it since 2012 or thereabout.




I used to call it "Weapon of Mass Destruction".

Seun:
Dear Igbo People,

I sincerely apologize for allowing a toxic political banner advert which said, "Lagos can never be run from Anambra; go and vote" to run on Nairaland for several hours on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

The mischievously worded banner advert appears to have been part of an ethnically divisive political campaign aimed at securing Lagos State for the ruling party by instilling fear in Yoruba people, making them believe that Igbo people intended to "take over" Lagos State.

Such ethnically divisive political campaigns have no place in a forward-thinking democracy, and for this reason, the ad should have been taken down instantly. No harm was intended, but my lack of forethought about the ethics of that type of advert led to a disappointing outcome.

We should have had a clear policy against accepting negative and ethnically divisive ads on Nairaland, we should have communicated it to all advertisers, and we should have taken down any advert that violated that policy instantly. This will all be in place before the next election.

We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos.

Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome.

Sincerely,
Seun Osewa.

They will never appreciate.




I always tell people: once those people hate you, just do your best according to your ability.

When you encourage a money culture, that is what you reap, a tribe of criminals.

id4sho:

Your analysis made you the judge, Rest!!!

It doesn't make me the judge, but Obidients should stop with the preconceived judgement.




Obi says he has gone to court, yet he keeps referring to his "stolen" mandate.




The problem is that he is trying to emotionally blackmail the judges.





If he loses, his Obidients would say he was cheated.





The court entertains evidence, not emotions.

I remembered the girl I was seeing long ago received an interview SMS. From the wordings and the location, I knew it was GNLD or similar time wasters.



I warned her, but she was an inexperienced jobseeker, unlike me who already had a PhD in jobseeking.




Anyways, we took off to the place in Lagos and got there. It was in an estate (probably to deceive inexperienced jobseekers). The building itself was magnificent, and the car park was full giving the impression that all the staff members had their own cars. Anyway, I was not fooled. But my girlfriend was. We met a big crowd already waiting.




Soon, they began to file in. I waited for her outside. We got there around 9:30 am. In the SMS, they said the interview was for 10am. They didn't file in until 12pm.





Around 3pm, my girl came outside. I wondered if she was done with her own interview. She said they put them in a big air-conditioned hall and one woman had been jabbering since morning, giving motivational talks about how she founded the company and moved it from zero to something. I told her to remember that I had warned her about these time wasters. My girlfriend was still optimist. She went back inside and did not come back until around 5pm. She said they are asking for registration fee, that I should lend her 20k. I almost lost it there. I reminded her that I had a PhD in this jobseeking field.





My girlfriend was still optimistic o. It was like jazz. I had to walk out on her before she ran after me and we left.

Vote4Obi:
FYI, Tinubu has been compensated with Lagos, but you see Aso rock, he won't be there. Unfortunately, for you guys, there are "tons" of evidence that will nail Tinubu.

You people are comedians. 😁

Some of you are saying that Supreme court will be afraid of the consequences of rulling against Tinubu. Lol, wake up because nothing will happen. Even his agberos can't do anything.

You have taken a biased view, believing that Obi won the election. This is, in fact, the problem with all of you. You controlled the narrative that Obi was the most popular, forgetting that he didn't even have the constitutional spread to win a national election. I remembered some Nairalanders from the North saying Obi was virtually nonexistent in the North, but they were mocked. Another mistake you all made was allowing presidential polls mislead you into believing that a Peter Obi victory was the only possible outcome. These polls made you forgo the numbers in the North. Also, at a point in your electioneering, you focused more on Lagos, took SS as already in the bag, and failed to establish real presence there.

Once the supreme court announces that Peter Obi is the actual winner of the election, there would be massive jubilation and people will hit the streets all over the country. Even Tinubu's agberos will be so overwhelmed that they will just hide.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is the problem with you people. Even before the election, you were driven by miscalculations. One miscalculation was concluding that the whole youth population was for Labour Party forgetting that APC has solid youth structures in every state of the federation. Some of the mumu Obidients were converting 30 million youth votes as Labour Party votes, failing to account for other factors. That is why everyone knew that you people would struggle to accept defeat even if the defeat is glaring.

Atiku's withdrawal from the case now makes it very easy for the judges.

Atiku's withdrawal from the case does not erase his participation history in the election. It doesn't erase the fact that Obi has to prove that he bettered Atiku, before even trying to prove that he won the election. His third position already puts him in a difficult position, because he has to prove that he beat the two candidates who finished ahead of him.

Even Ngige has warned you guys not to underestimate Obi but obviously, you people didn't heed his advise. Ask those that know Obi, he hates waste. If Obi isn't convinced that he has a very strong case, he would have withdrawn just like Atiku did.

First of all, anyone who truly understands the Obidient mob would know that this case is beyond Obi. He is afraid of the mob that he himself created and nurtured. Obi knows he has no case, that was why he said he was not challenging the outcome, but the process. If you are not concerned about the outcome, then why are you going to court? The only process he has an issue with is that transmission of results issue. According to the electoral act, there is a clause that allows INEC decide the process to follow. Transmission can be manual or electronic (the Act was not specific).



In fact, Obi's only problem is that INEC failed to upload results on the INEC portal in real time. Will the court cancel the election based on this frivolous case? Of course not, especially since the more major criteria were met. The BVAS was used, results were transmitted (even if manually), and BAT fulfilled the constitutional spread and the majority votes to be declared winner.

Again, his words during a recent interview shows how optimistic he is. Obi stated and I quote "... There is no way they (the judges) will rule that APC won the election, if they do that it can only mean that Nigeria is a criminal state....".

He is just playing to the gallery. And it is also an inciteful statement, creating a bias in the mind of his supporters. Now, if they lose their case, the Obidients will think Nigeria is a criminal state even if Obi's case is too watery, like Atiku's case was in 2019.

So, when I see you Tinubu supporters lamenting over Obi, I understand the fear, anxiety and foreboding deep within your souls.

Which Tinubu supporter has been lamenting over Obi?




You all like to create wishes in your heads.




Obi himself already indirectly admitted that the outcome did not bother him. His argument is that the failure to transmit election in real time provided room for fraud. He does not have evidence of fraud, only that there could have been fraud.



The man is in court because he is afraid of backing down because of the Obidient mob he created.

When I realized the number of people who have unfriended or blocked me on Facebook, who have unfollowed me on Twitter and blocked me on WhatsApp, I just laugh.




May Obidients never happen to us again.





We have never had such political intolerance in the history of electioneering in Nigeria.




I have never voted in Lagos governorship election before, but I had to do so yesterday. This is not a typical Yoruba behavior. But we were pushed to the wall in a manner we have never been so pushed before.





Again, I say, may Obidients never happen to us again. May a divisive man like Peter Obi never come near our political space again.

nepapole:
Democracy is not for Nigeria.

I miss Abacha.

You miss who?



My brother, our democracy may not be perfect (no democracy is), it is far better than military rule.




Many of those saying rubbish about Buhari can never try it in military rule with a man like Abacha as Head of State.





I am sure if there was social media then, our military rulers would have shut it down, and there is nothing you would have been able to do about it.





And when it comes to corruption. The military were equally corrupt, or even more corrupt, since they could steal without being questioned. There was no Constitution to limit their powers or check their excesses.




Never ever pray for military rule.




Our soldiers are no different from the average Nigerian who is corrupt.

Heffalump:
Jonathan did far more greater job in 2015 by instilling the tenets of true democracy in Nigeria. He deepen democracy, not because he was weak! That was why we witnessed the best presidential election in Nigeria.

But you see this Buhari, he's devil's incarnate. Now many can see why we all rejected him in 2015. America should be ashamed for supporting him too. Though, they disagreed initially, but Obasanjo that seems to be Buhari's enemy today marketed him to the West. Oyibos are far more advanced. They knew Buhari's antecedents and would not support. Alas, Obasanjo played the Joker card that changed their initial belief.

Yet again, Buhari has broken another record as the worst president Nigeria ever had. A Dead-Walking President.

You people and your stupid conspiracies.



I am not sure you know who Oyinbos are. You think they give a damn about you.




The American government would only promote American interest. Even if you are Idi Amin, if they feel they can enter into a hugely beneficial international relations with you, they would without even thinking twice.



During the Nigerian Civil War, what did America do for Biafra even with constant propaganda from Biafran emissaries like China Achebe? They chose their partnership with Britain over anything else, and silently supported Nigeria since Britain was already obviously supporting Nigeria.




America does not have a permanent friend or permanent enemy. It is all about the American interest.




They can be sponsoring terrorism today and be fighting it tomorrow. What matters is the American interest. It must be protected at all cost.

ovie8200:



My friend, shut your dirty mouth. He performed but soon animals in human like Atiku, Sariki, and other North decided it's North turn. Also because the frogeyes and the betrayal Yoruba voted against their fellow southner. Ether way leave Jonathan from your mouth. Skiny Buhari didn't perform 10% but you people still voted for APC.

What did Jonathan perform?




If he performed, he wouldn't have been booted out.




The Economist even called him a buffoon.





The only problem I have with Buhari is the attitude of not listening to the pains of people.




When he closed the borders, Nigerians began to suffer, yet he didn't react until much later when he loosened closure.




Same thing with the naira redesign. It took him weeks to finally react positively.




The border closure, especially, failed. It was failing, but because Buhari felt it was good for local production, he refused to accommodate compromises.




In 2013, GEJ dropped the oil subsidy removal. If it were Buhari, he would have gone on with it, and Nigerians would have suffered at least for 2 months before he would consider reviewing it.




If Buhari came when our oil market was large, we would have enjoyed him better than we did. He is actually the type of man Nigeria needs. However, he needs to tone down on his rigidity. A leader should be willing to bend when a policy is obviously failing.

Parachoko:
I'm sure Akindele will be regretting she agree to be the vice of Jendor

She's losing woefully in ikorodu where she is from to the APC.

I am telling. She would be full of regrets.

Masterito:
Regardless who wins at the end of the end, this is the worst election in Nigeria.

Maybe you were born yesterday.




Since you have obviously never heard about the magic of the 2007 election adjudged by observers as the worst election in the history of voting anywhere in the world.



An observer said in a polling station in Yenegoa, 500 registered to vote, 2000 voted.





Figures were pulled out of thin air.





Even Yar'Adua who won the election admitted that it was a badly flawed election.




And you are here, adjuding a free and fair election with relatively minimal flaws as the worst.




Go and check the figures of votes in 2003, 2007, and 2011.




You will realize that we had fewer registered voters, and yet far more total votes cast than now. In those days, we were having figures up to 30 million votes cast when actual voters were not even up to 10 million.




Please, stop making ignorant claims. If you have short memory, just close your mouth.

NaijaRoyalty:

Post picture of Lagos if you have it na

Be deceiving yourself

Why can't you just simply go to the INEC portal and check governorship results for Lagos state. Download every result sheet and check yourself.



APC is winning massively.




LP is doing better than PDP.




PDP is performing woefully.

LesbianBoy:
The NBC should not listen to tinubu and allow themselves to be bought like other agencies in the country

As for tinubu, if he thinks he can steal Peter obi mandate and rule in peace then he is a comedian




Not everyone is like those you support tinubu and shettima who made jonathan government ungovernable by unleashing violence.


Ever heard of peaceful protest before?

We all know that the man who claimed he would make GEJ's government ungovernable was a PDP chieftain.

LesbianBoy:
The NBC should not listen to tinubu and allow themselves to be bought like other agencies in the country

As for tinubu, if he thinks he can steal Peter obi mandate and rule in peace then he is a comedian

So, the next agenda now is to make the country ungovernable for Tinubu?




This space is not as faceless as you all think.




Even Seun placed a disclaimer there that you would be liable for your own comments.

budaatum:
When this man becomes President I can just about see him arresting anyone who disagrees with him, though I hope I'm very wrong.

What nonsense are you jabbering?



Obi is making inciteful statements despite his case being in court.



Just imagine for a moment that it was Obi that won the election, and Tinubu is going about making inciteful statements, how would Obi feel? Would his headless mob not eventually go violent?

Peter Obi who does not know jack about green energy, who does not know that infrastructures drive development, who does not know that the executive cannot subject the other arms of government to auditing CANNOT understand BVAS and IREV.



Only his followers hype him.




People like me have always known he has nothing upstairs.




Anyone can cram figures and pour it out during an interview. La cram La pour does not make you intelligent.

Disgusting.



Shoot him in the head before hanging him. Then take him down, and shoot him in the head again.



Then, feed him to the vultures so there is no chance of his returning ever again to earth.

DARLYNBOI:



All the aforementioned leadership experience has led us to this pitiable situation that Nigeria is today ..all we are saying is let us have fresh air that is void of the old order.

They only have corruption experience...and we can't hold them accountable Except with our vote..

This is the problem I have with you people.




You underrate the extent of corruption in Nigeria.




There is corruption in every sphere of our lives. In the family, in the church, in the school, in the civil service.



In 2021 and 2022 budgets, 400 billion naira was padded by civil servants in the various Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) with duplicated projects.




In the family, you have children padding school fees.




In the church, you have nontransparency, allowing pastors to live large.




You think that by voting an inexperienced GRV, these over experienced civil servant crooks would just stop?




When Rufai interviewed GRV's deputy on how they plan to make Lagos work, she could not find anything to say.




You can't trade experience for anything else in politics, not even with honesty.




Many of people like you praise Kegame's work in Rwanda. But what you don't know is that Kegame corrupted the electoral processes in Rwanda to stay in power for over 20 years now.

DARLYNBOI:
Do you agree that if you can manage 1m and create wealth with that ...you are most likely going to manage huge and common wealth judiciously...but if u misappropriate just 100k, ...guy if u see 500k village people go know say u don arrive

It is not always the case.

Akala of blessed memory only governed a local government before becoming d state gov. Of a huge and complex Oyo state with 33 local govts..

At least, he governed a local government. What has GRV handled politically or corporate-wise.

What is the age and experience of Bawa d EFCC chairman..?

Bawa has been with EFCC since 2004.



GRV was said to have joined politics in 2017.



He has absolutely no political or corporate leadership experience.



And yet, he feels he is ready to be governor. And not just governor of any state. Governor of Lagos state, the biggest economy in Nigeria and the 9th in Africa.

DARLYNBOI:


Shebi na you dey feed him family as he doesn't have work experience or abi him employers complained to you say him no get experience.
Leave am like that for us...even your pastor get aides wey dey run departments for your church.....abi na him be pastor, choir master and women leader at the same time?

SMH...



A leader does not have to do everything.




But he needs to know how to make the work happen through people.




That is why leadership experience is important.




You can never overlook leadership experience.

Who is shielding this Emefiele of a guy?



This show of shame indicts Buhari.



Why can't Emefiele be sacked for this failure of a policy?

DARLYNBOI:


So with all these experience....where is Nigeria when you compare situation here with Rwanda, Kenya and Ghana in Africa...not to talk of Europe..dey play

You are not getting it at all.



You can't compare governing countries like Rwanda, Kenya, and Ghana to governing a huge, multiethnic country like Nigeria.



GRV has never led anything in his life. If he wants to acquire leadership experience, it should not be as governor of Lagos state.



He can still learn with states like Anambra.




Lagos is too big for a learner.

DARLYNBOI:


Just tell us the experience that Tinubu had prior to his selection in 1999

Go and check GRV's biography.



The man has never even led anything before. He has only worked as an employee in like three architecture firms.



He knows absolutely nothing about creation or management on a macro and microeconomic scale.




And you want to hand him the 9th biggest economy in Africa.




Even though Seyi Makinde was not as politically experienced as Sanwo-Olu when he was elected Oyo state governor, his managerial CV is way above that of GRV.




GRV needs leadership experience, no matter how little. You can make him governor of Anambra state. Lagos state is too big for a learner.

seguno2:


The same experience that Makinde had before he was made governor by Oyo people, who are enjoying his services to the people, unlike Tinubu’s boy Sanwo Olu of looting experience.

First of all, Lagos is not only the biggest economy in Nigeria and the 9th in Africa, it is the biggest metropolitan area in Africa.



You can't just pick anyone to govern such a state.



Lagos is not Oyo state. The difference is very clear.

Slynation:
I tire oO...Obi has said it all

What experience did Sanwo Olu has before he was elected, they even have to sideline a performing governor just to accommodate him...

Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu began his political career in 2003, when he was appointed a Special Adviser on Corporate Matters to the then deputy governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro.


He was later made the acting Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget until 2007, when he was appointed as the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry by then Governor, Bola Tinubu.


After the General Elections of 2007, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu was appointed Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions by Governor Babatunde Fashola.


Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu was made Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in 2016.





Please, what experience does GVR have?

Vivianat:
Take that to the bank. Any Igbo who did not win his ward/state or ensured that APC had at least 2nd position with the mandatory 25%..... Will not get any appointment at the federal government level...

You can't really blame the politicians.



There was severe voter intimidation in the South East.




We have video evidences.




A painful one was that one where an elderly man was being shoved and touted by the mob simply because he wanted to vote APC.




They disrespected him and booed him out of the centre.




Those headless mob could have killed anyone who put up any sort of resistance.

colorsofrainbow:
Fake. Website designed by an agbado urchin loyal to Elrufai

Those were 2020 tweets. In fact, many of the Obidients today were busy supporting Atiku before then. Now, Atiku is a looter to them.


Should we also bring out tweets of people (who are now Obidients) calling Obi a failure as governor?

shantti:
Will you proceed or not

I love snakes.



So, I will not only smash, but marry her (if she agrees, of course).

Tofax:

It was a honest mistake & he corrected it. Instead of saying second & he wrote first. So what's the fuse about it.
Obi is not a super divine being that cannot make an academic mistake. Everyone has made such mistake in one way or the other in our life.
Unlike Tinubu who doesn't know or remember his age & his name atimes due to acute dementia

Honest mistake?



You meant he wanted to say "2nd" and put "first"?



You obviously don't know the meaning of mistake.




This is clearly a case of ignorance arising from failing to verify information before posting it. It might even be a case of telling a lie because he believes his gullible followers would not verify and the opposition would be too lazy to verify either.




Obi's knack for " firsts" is turning him into something else.




That was how he claimed that he was the first governor to be impeached and reinstated in Nigeria.




For a compulsive liar like him, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew that it was a false claim, but went ahead to post it all the same, expecting his gullible followers to swallow it up as usual.

Vinnie2000:


But we reached the Final in 2005 where we lost to Argentina 2 1.
