kayjordan: Some Pastor said: "The person that will deliver this country, has not yet been born".
I do not know your preferred candidate - but based on some people's subjective thoughts, "No candidate is genuine".
Like I mentioned earlier, ideologies are there, but there's sabotage.
Many candidates have good dreams, but a bad engine (Government).
Many entrepreneurs have good ideas, but bad economy or inaccessibility to funds.
President Tinubu has an ideology. What one needs to confirm is if he's upholding it or if it's being hindered.
If you replace Presidents one hundred times, you may still see failure in the system because all of them will have to work with an existing faulty engine.
One must give credit to candidates that want to operate a faulty engine - they are bold.
This is not about candidate, can't you see the problem of Nigeria in black and white?
Musty112: I knew it even b4 reading your report that it will not state that the person who disarmed the second shooter despite having two gunshot wounds in his arm is a Muslim (Ahmed). He risked his life to save people without any thought of them being Muslim or Christian. Terrorism is Terrorism and of the hundreds of gun violence that occur every year in the west, people other than "muslim" dominates the list. Besides Naveed Akram according to reports is/was an IDF soldier drafted to kill innocent kids in Gaza. Your hatred will only lead you to self imolate.
kayjordan: I guess it's difficult to understand me.
Let me remind you that in your community, some people will still not appreciate your efforts if you do something for them - even if you are not a government official.
If you are a class representative in school, some students will still not appreciate your efforts - even though you are not a government official.
The above people may think you are incompetent, greedy or want something in return.

A short story I heard: "Tai Solarin, a human rights man, protested against Babanginda, complaining how Nigerians were suffering - so one day, Babanginda asked Solarin to come to his office and asked him why he always criticized him and Solarin replied - "because Nigerians are suffering; they need to be empowered. Then Babanginda set up a federal credit institution (like a Bank of Industry) that would offer loans to Nigerians for businesses and put Solarin as the head of the institution - after a period of time, Solarin confessed that some Nigerians were taking loans and not paying back and after a period of time, the institute collapsed - Babanginda invited Solarin to his office afterwards, and Solarin looked quiet and Babanginda told him - "You see, no matter what you do, you can't impress everybody" - Solarin left Babanginda's office without saying a word and after that moment Solarin never criticized Babanginda's government till he died.

Reality is beyond what you hear, what people tell you or what you feel - all these can be wrong. One must always be open and see the other side to make good judgements.
I'm not 100% with the government as an institution and I'm not 100% with the people. Even though this makes you think I'm confused - No, I'm simply weighing which of the two is more of a problem.
My support for APC is based on facts, not emotions. You can't win an election with a party of "born agains" when there's a ruling party with "street smart people" that align with the street smart citizens (you know Nigerians like short cuts).
"To put out fire - you must get into fire" - this defends why people will be advised to join the APC (FIRE) if they ever want to solve a problem (FIRE BURNING) in the country. It's the fastest vehicle you can use this moment.
I support restructuring, and I support cleaning the system - but you must acknowledge it is very difficult to clean up the country. It could be dangerous, it could be self-sabotaging or it could be victorious - any of the three.
You think the problem of Nigeria is the people, you might put some blame on some of the people, but it has more to do with ideology or ideologies, but the fact remains Tinubu has failed and is still failing ...
I confirmed the APC strategy - how and why people should align with it. It's a party with green pastures at the moment. If anyone thinks they will win on another party's platform given the fact the ruling party has big cash to throw at some citizens to buy them over as always alleged, then one is far from reality if they think another party will make them win.
You must acknowledge your country is living in sin and the only way to survive in a sinful world is to be a devil and not an angel - the expectation of your "ideal angel candidate" to rule over demons - if he must - should act like one and join their circle - that's how he will ever win.
The government has enemies - and these enemies have outlived all Presidents in government and some are still there now. A new President can't flush them out without ruining his own chance in government and also ruining the chance to help the people he wants to serve - a President will have to be diplomatic in handling such situation.
Some Presidents will want to flush out all enemies of government - but they may run out of gas as the current government structure is severly overwhelmed by enemies.
These are the factors one must consider. I recommended a flush out in my open letter - but people in the comment section told me my ideas won't work. I concurred and I recommended alternatives. I was semi-realistic that it will take 4 years - I further recommended another 4 years if plan A fails with another strategy.
But guess what? - even if the current President does flush out bad eggs in government in 8 years and he leaves - in the next administration after him, these bad eggs may likely spring up again.
So the government is fighting many enemies - within and externally i.e - (the general public).
The upper echelon in government (Presidents, Governors) mean well for the country (not all) - they are not saints but they have ideas - the subordinates under them don't make their ideas flourish.
So it's inaccurate to judge all top-most leaders along with their subordinates - when the subordinates in "most cases", are the ones giving the top leaders a bad name the top-most leaders didn't earn for themselves.
masterfactor: chiagozien, Another propaganda, if UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LIKE, LET THEM BRAND IPOB AS WHATEVER THEY LIKE, AS FAR NIGERIA IS CONCERNED, IPOB IS A TERRORIST GROUP AND YOUR LEADER, KANU WILL ROT IN SOKOTO PRISON
That's why Nigeria is the way it is today, when truth is labeled as lie and lie is labeled as truth, then logic is flipped over its head, Nigeria is the only country in the world that calls IPOB a terrorist group and the same Nigeria does not call Fulani herdsmen terrorist group but the entire world call them 4th most deadliest terrorist group, now you see why insecurity is the way it is in Nigeria ....
Even Ghana beat Nigeria, If I tell some people one of the reasons I want Nigeria to divide, it will look as if I am hating on a particular tribe but this is where they have reduced Nigeria to with tribalism
LegendHero: They worked on a project during that period
kayjordan: The open letter to Tinubu shows my "balanced ideology".
It concludes both the government and the people need to be check mated.
In all my points made to you - I have repeatedly mentioned citizens as a factor of government and civil servants as well.
You can't have a good government with bad citizens and see progress; you can't also have good citizens with a bad government and see progress.
So - I still conclude logically, that the government is working with the best resources available to make life okay for the citizens - and the citizens need to cooperate with the government.
If the government is not working then all government agencies including local government will be closed.
kayjordan: It's logical and realistic. If people expect a problem of decades to be solved in one sitting, then it imaginative and unrealistic.
If people put the horse before the cart (teaching people how to fish, instead of taking fish) - then it's logical and execution will determine if it will be realistic.
The government is complex and alot of things need to be understudied to know why the government makes the decisions it makes.
Indeed, a hungry belly cannot think straight nor think of a logical idea why the government does what it does - such person will only be eroded with emotions which is what is happening to Nigerians today.
"He who wears the cap, know where it hurts" - Nigerians have made that kmown to the government - and the government too knows where their cap hurts.
I understand the reality you think I'm far from. I know Nigerians are struggling. And i also know the government as an engine is struggling - maybe not the leaders that are running it because they continuously earn salaries and benefits.
Like I said, earlier on for someone like you to be more interested in the gains of APC than the gains of the country, then read this thread you opened as a letter to Tinubu, you are highly unrealistic person..
helinues: Let me also add, I supported Trump's first term but not his reelection.
Buhari was better than GEJ as at 2015, better than Atiku as at 2019. Tinubu was better than all the candidates in 2023 election, still better than them in 2027
We don't support blindly
Are you an American citizen?
According to you Buhari was better than GEJ in 2015 but you said you supported Jonathan so why did you support the one you considered worse ?
Then you say Buhari was better than GEJ, see if you say you thought just like me it is a different thing but to live in denial that he performed better as at now, you are only deceiving yourself, that is also proof for the other candidates you listed as being better...
helinues: Who are the you people? It's on record that I supported GEJ'S regime.
I don't play bitter politics like you people who are known for it
You supported GEJ when he was in power and then supported Buhari when he removed GEJ and also entered power, now you are supporting Tinubu that is also in power, so even if the devil enters power you will still support him, that means you are AGIP, you only support ruling governments even if they are bad...
Mind you I supported Buhari in 2015 against Jonathan, you see the difference....
helinues: I thought the Obidients claimed they are better, why are they doing worst than the Apc they are accusing?
Are the opposition not bringing something different? Make una dey reason what you are justifying sensibly
So you are telling us you people are the bad people who have the reputation and title for being bad people and no other person or group should contest it ?
kayjordan: The unconventional truth remains, - Tinubu's government is working and not destroying.
The hardship Nigerians feel is caused by a transfer of taxes unto the people which the government was bearing on Nigerians behalf for a long time.
Some Nigerians have been heard quoting "Production is better than Consumption". In Nigerian reality, the people actually want CONSUMPTION over PRODUCTION.
The question you would likely ask is what are we producing at the moment? - to start a business, you need time to save money for it - or preferably, get a loan for it.
Nigeria is seeking partnerships with countries to build it's economy - that way it can grow it's production capacity.
It's not easy to get customers and clients for small, medium businesses - so it is for the government - the government is struggling to get in investors so that Nigerians will be able to "consume".
You are very far from reality, and sound very unrealistic and very illogical sincerely speaking, I'm not trying to insult you..
Kemetian: While we're here running down ourselves with foolishness, foreigners SCREAM IN DELIGHT when their Ancestry DNA results reveal they have even 5% NIGERIAN ANCESTRY.
Talk less of those with 70% to 97% who want to more or less THROW A PARTY in celebration!!
FreeStuffsNG: Dear OP. Please speak for yourself. There are millions of patriotic and proudly Nigerian citizens.
Only the 5%ters in Nigeria are not happy to be Nigerians. They are too insignificant for you to diminish your post by focusing on them.
I am proudly Nigerian and I celebrate other Nigerians who are proudly Nigerian like Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
The same country you people hate with passion, the same country you people have destroyed and still destroying, when people speak the truth you call them haters, but we know those who hate Nigeria and Nigerians...
Dalohad: Ol' boy, I no really send you for you here. You feel belitted reading about what I post. Why should I care?
When you were fighting and attacking people at polling units for Buhari and Tinubu, you didn't know it elections are tied to fiscal policies that could either make you prosper or improvished depending on how bright or dull your government is?
Yes, I will oppress pea-brained Gbadorians who would support the misgovernance of this country and yet can't earn two nickels to rub together, the joke is on you.
Who I am surrounded with in real life is immaterial to you.
What matters is that herein, I am surrounded with people like you down the totem pole of the socio-economic structure who continue to support an economically oppressive government.
Political decisions are tied to socio-economic prosperity, whether you like it not.
There is a reason why Buhari and Tinubu lost elections in polling units in VGC, VI, Lekki, Ikeja GRA, University of Ibadan, but people like you scrambling for a piece were threatening people to vote for them in the deadwoods of maroko, molete, Fiditi and Iragbiji..
The correlation between political decisions and economics prosperity is unalloyed and remains standing erect like the phallus of Priapus the Roman god. Go and read journals on Google scholar on political and economic prosperity.
Check your I.Q and go figure.
My major annoyance with them is that they believe they are fighting a supposed ethnic or religious enemy with election, it's like Arsenal vs Man-u to some of them, so they want to win at any cost even if it is voting the devil as president just to spite their supposed enemy.
Look at now the nonsense government they enthroned headed by Tinubu is busy dismissing security report of a planned attack instead of thanking the people who brought the info and tell them they will work on it.
Nigerians, abeg make you check the thread above out and see how some of those Obidients have been thinking/reasoning. Being opposition don't mean one who be doing everything possible to make the country to collapse. That's not the duty of the opposition
They have always been wanting everything to scatter, for things not to work and they do it without feeling any remorse.
Why would a citizen of a country be planning of sabotaging the government efforts to make things better
FG should be considering of banning the group in Nigeria. Their toxicity, hatred and bitterness towards the development of Nigeria is not something we can't pretend it's not existing
When APC was doing all these, it wasn't sabotage, it was government support abi?
banku: You should be ashamed of yourself for writing that Igbo only ruled the country for 8 months. Ask your history teacher who has form Alliance with the North before and after Independence to rule Nigeria.
Ask about Igbo domination of Jonathan's and Obasanjo's cabinets.
The Tinubu you hate so much, could he be the same one you colluded with to replaced Speaker Olubunmi Etteh to install Tambulwa?
All these conspiracy fallacies without proper facts, anything some of you see 1 Igbo man involved in becomes Igbos domination agenda, abeg carry your nonsense theory and throw inside thrash, so Igbo domination and alliance has never produced any president but Yorubas and the north that you are not accusing have produced president, the same Tinubu used his mouth to say he went to plan and form alliance with Buhari to make him president so that he can become president, we've seen the result of that partnership today, then you say Igbos dominated OBJ and GeJ's cabinet and that was when Nigeria made progress the most since 1999, can we say the same when northerners dominated in buhari's time and now that Yorubas have dominated it?
Ttalk: You reason like a child, how does mocking amount to stopping you from going your way?
You claimed Yoruba hate Kanu, does Kanu love Yoruba people? Or you don't know law of reciprocity exist?
How does that even mean Yoruba don't want you to have your Biafra
So you hate someone and the person says he wants to leave you instead you catch him and lock him up, if you so hate him, why not free him and give him his country to leave you people?
The reason why you locked him up is because you don't want to leave him
Ttalk: Yoruba nation is not the issue of discussion, you painting Yoruba don't want you to go is what am here to dispel. For the umpteen time, Yoruba don't give a damn about you leaving or not, don't just step beyond your boundary by accusing the Yoruba for failure to do what you need to do
The topic was about Yoruba nation, why don't you stick to it?
And I am telling you that Yorubas are not serious about having their own nation, can you tell me what Yorubas have done seriously about having their own nation?
Ttalk: There's no Yoruba man who g against Biafra. And is there any obligation to support Biafra?
Do your thing and let other do theirs, Yoruba will be the last region to stop you from going your way.
So, stop questioning Yoruba support because it is not necessary. Rather you are the one doing attachment when it comes to secession issue. You need to agree among yourself to leave Nigeria, work with your leaders and representatives and stop focusing on Yoruba for your liberation, Yoruba are not the one who kept you in bondage
Yet Yorubas are the ones always mocking Igbos on anything that has to do with Biafra, same Yorubas are the ones who hate MNK and Simon Ekpa...
Abegi carry your hate with your full chest, if Yorubas truly want a Yoruba nation, why have they not done what you are telling the Igbos to do?
lawani: There are many unscrupulous people online. There are also people who just trade banters online. I agree that posting the pictures of malnourished children is going too far. However no responsible Yoruba person is against Biafra. For what?. Why be against something that does not concern you?. They are not the ones to primarily fight for Biafra too?. I on my own I support Biafra
Yes you might be supporting Biafra but a lot of your people don't and a lot are also indifferent, I know what I am saying, if you live in Nigeria, you can do a poll randomly with Yorubas in your street...
lawani: I agree that they talk down on MNK but what do you expect?. MNK himself dedicated himself to talking down on Yoruba. However they are not against Biafra. They are not against Nigeria breaking up peacefully
Yes, I know MNK made mistakes, but look at what your people are doing, do you know up till date some of your people still mock Biafran children that were starving during the war, they they throw their pictures up and down mocking the Igbos, let's not deceive ourselves, read comments here on Nairaland how they hate anything that has to do with Biafra, they even use it as campaign against Peter Obi...
If you want daily comments from your people against Biafra, I can take my time to tag you just to prove that to you daily so you can see for yourself
