I know that you feel disappointed in Peter Obi as a supporter - it's because you focused on the patterns of the people's thoughts and not the patterns of the political game.

Communication issues are a real thing in Nigeria and that's reflected in Peter Obi's webpage that you mentioned. It shows micro-leadership flaws even at a campaign level.

The "bible" as a metaphor - represents the morals and ethics the "Obidients" promote either religiously or hypocritically.

Concerning the "Real Bible" - yes it hasn't been dropped by Nigerians and the British too haven't dropped the bible for Shakespeare either. 

Nigerians just treat the bible as an internet modem to access Google for all their problems.

I feel you are using your own narrative as a reason for my disappointment. It would have been better you ask me my reasons instead of filling in your own gaps. My disappointment is because he is not organising his supporters effectively, and wouldn't win if he doesn't.

I note you slipped in "Real Bible" without defining it. In UK, we have replaced Bible with libraries, since we understand what happens to those who read only one book.

Below are current 'Bibles' in a particular area of London. I doubt we have an equivalent in Nigeria.

I personally would have asked this before applying, though I might also have applied for the experience of applying too.

What is the working conditions of your current employer?

kayjordan:
This isn't a spam - a technical issue caused this and I cannot delete the duplicated post.

On the contrary, I do not dislike the responses. The responses show diversity of human thinking which I think everybody likes.

Noted.

kayjordan:
It's good to have a support system which you see in Peter Obi.

This acknowledges that we can all play the dirty game and drop the bibles.

Personally, I think Peter Obi has a lousy "support system". I signed up to his webpage but have never received any notice of anything from him, which is very poor especially if I compare it to the UK Labour Party of which I am a due paying card carrying member, and who bombard me with emails weekly; and to the UK Liberal Democratic Party that I also signed up to who ditto. On this issue my Obi disappoints me immensely.

As for dropping the Bible, why, considering it is the most read book of Nigerians?

That would be like telling the British to drop Shakespeare, if you ask me, though it's debatable if that's their most read book. It's not the Bible, as they've moved on, but we haven't yet I reckon, so it's not to be dropped yet, I'd say. But I'm open to your reasons if you'd oblige me.

Happy new year to everyone except the hypocritical bootlickers of the corrupt republican establishment! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy New Year Coco and everyone.

I'm so loving the fact that I have been practicing my New Year resolution of ignoring the non-brain users.

You don't need to spam Nairaland because you dislike the responses you are getting!

kayjordan:
This is not a direct attack on the political candidate Peter Obi - but on his avid young supporters who preached sainthood.

I am not a "young supporters", nor would I "preach sainthood" for any Nigerian. I'm simply Obidient, because I'm not ẹyinlokan. And I'm waiting for Obi to produce a new poster!

You are being unnecessarily rude, which shows me that tax is not all that impoverishes you.

If you think I don't know, you can graciously educate me. I after all have admitted the provided information is unclear.

For your information, Tinubu is going to tax you even more next term to pay for all the loans he's been taking and to steal or have some stolen. So perhaps consider electing my Peter Obi or anyone else so he, Tinubu, can't. Beware, though, they too might be no better, including my Obi, and tax you even more.

But if tax does impoverish you, work harder and earn more so it doesn't. And go learn to discuss respectfully so it doesn't seem like you have an impoverished insulting mind.

ChybuzzDD:
You're dvmbly relying on wrong information to accept and preach acceptance of a tax that will further impoverish Nigerians
The threshold is never 700k/month
The insensitive and criminally-minded Tilumbu is not gracious and sympathetic enough to use that cuff-off that will spare a lot of Nigerians from his ev!il taxation..

I definitely do not support dump. I can't even allow my mouth to utter that cretins name! And if Yorubas, as you say, support or vote for him I am prepared to denounce my Yorubaness!

VeeVeeMyLuv:
They are hiding the information from the public,
Honestly it is not accessible at all

The little information available is so confusing, ambiguous and opaque.

I do agree that sufficient information is not available. This will make it hard to collect and leave space for wuruwuru, which is not good.

Hopefully, they'll correct this.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
700k per annum or
700k per month?

If per month how do you expect them to widen the tax net? Because only very few number of people fall into this bracket.

It's good if per month and "only very few number of people fall into this bracket".

It's even too small to tax if you ask me, and they should have made it tax on over a million a month so it does not over impact the poor, but it's a start.

₦700k is only £360. And in my opinion, its very small. Below is the amount you earn tax free in UK, though I'm aware I should not be comparing.

kpakpakpa:
How the money is been spent is another discussion that will surface later for sure.
Your last paragraph is also on point, trust me Tinubu meant well for Nigeria only that he surrounded himself with the likes of Bwala and Reno who will not tell him the truth.
Lastly, I vote obi in the last election without any regrets, so understand where I'm coming from

So, we are 2 Obidients seeing good in Tinubu.

I am so delighted brain users like you exist.

kpakpakpa:
You can also tell why you think the new tax regime is also bad, let's learn

Thank you very much for the response.

I do not think the new tax regime is bad at all, and it is one more thing that Obidient me appreciates about Tinubu, along with his removal of fuel subsidy and free floating Naira.

As I said, when government taxes me, I will be more focused on the government that is elected, and more likely monitor how my tax money is spent.

So, let me repeat myself and say, I am Obidient. God bless and continue to strengthen Tinubu and my country Nigeria.

I want him to do one more thing for me so I can decide to vote for him at the next election. Scrap or reform Youth Service so it stops being cheap labour for employers, and so employers can be incentivized to retain and develop their staff and pay them appropriately. Then will I almost fall on my knees and worship Tinubu.

kpakpakpa:
I might be wrong but from what I read, the new tax regime will favor the masses more so why the fuss.

I want to ask you to explain why you think "the new tax regime will favor the masses more", but I am afraid you might think I am criticising you, especially if you know I am Obidient.

I think government taxing us will make us become more responsible and pay attention to whom we elect as our government so they tax us moderately and spend our money wisely and for our benefit.

Please if you may, educate us. I will be most humbly grateful, and thank you very much in advance.

MONEY247:
There is a viral picture in circulation please disregard and don't join people spreading it.
This is the picture

Thank you very much for "joining people spreading it" and for making it available for people to spread it.

You very funny person.

I did not know that Dangote flew Anthony Joshua "out immediately".

Nor did I know there was Dangote Ambulance and that Dangote issues "certificate to fly".

“So Anthony Joshua was flown out immediately, but Dangote kept my sister for 21 days saying she needed a certificate to fly,” Pyhna stated.

saynotocultism:
Come out and Stay united and demand the resignation of the Whole Cabinet. Take to the street and Protest. There is no change without a complete Revolution.

We couldn't be bothered when they told us to go out and vote, and a mere 10 million people elected this leader some are not crying is "Men masquerading as leaders chaining the whole nation", but now you want to "demand the resignation of the Whole Cabinet" as if you have such powers, or even if you do, like another masquerade will not replace him.

The solution is not us coming out to protest, but waking up and coming out on election day to elect a non-masquerade who will rule how we want!

But of course I expect most to prefer your way, since they don't think we can accurately count the votes we cast.

We haven't suffered enough to wake up and do the right thing, is what I think, and just hope we don't continue sleeping till 2126.

helinues:
Being responsible by cleaning toilet on governance related questions?

Stop supporting blindly and use your head. Use the free gifted senses without being stingy

You still miss his point, sadly.

helinues:
You cleaned dirty toilet, how is that related to governance?

It takes mins to watch any of the Peter Obi interviews. He's always incoherent to the topic of discussion.

Probably his response about toilet might be one important question about governance but those are his as usual response to important questions

I think it's you who doesn't understand that he is not talking about toilet cleaning, but about being responsible.

And before you type something insulting, remember my defence of you when you talk sense. Just this isn't one of those instances.

Kukutente23:
How is not employing a house help failure in delegating responsibility
If your fingers are itching you, peel melon abeg

All the house work their children should learn from watching and joining doing with their parents goes unlearnt, and those children wouldn't know how to clean their own environment when they grow up because they weren't taught.

It's bad enough for their daughters, but worse for their irresponsible sons who end up unable to help keep their homes clean.

It works however you make it work. No one tells anyone what to post or not post, and no one is compelled to comment.

Obey Nairaland rules though, like in any section.

kentebemoney:
Yes it does!!!!

Is it better than those killed in Nigeria since 2006 that some are calling a genocide which averages out at about 10,560 a year?

Total Violent Deaths In Northern Nigeria (2006–2021): A 16-year analysis by Nigeria Watch recorded approximately 169,033 violent deaths nationwide, with northern states like Borno (41,692 deaths), Kaduna, and Zamfara being the most severely affected.

And what about the total destruction of their habitat, it that better too?

dangermouse:
America is tired of the influx of drugs in there country which has killed many of it's citizens. It is morally right for the president to tackle the influx with everything they have. It is called good governance.

I changed "influx of drugs" to 'influx of immigrants across the Mexico border', and considered "the moral right for the president to tackle the influx with everything they have" and go blow them up, and it kind of didn't sound like "good governance" at all to me, and I think that's why he wanted to build a wall instead.

KingRabota:
Never underestimate the duplicity of people

This is like telling me to watch my back. Problem with that is, where I live there's lots of lamp and light posts, and while concentrating on my back, I'd not be looking where I'm going and likely bash my head against one.

Anyway, here's the bread we made with ingredients we bought to ensure no one poisons us. The second is from where I told you we'd go.

There were lots of people there and all those we met were so exceedingly nice and kind that thinking anyone was hostile or wanted to poison us would indicate I had severe mental issues.

melechpilusof:
You are not better than me. Check my predictions,
Check my November write up on the cabal running Nigeria

I am not claiming to be better than you. I'm in fact not competing with you at all, and I wonder why you feel there is a competition.

opeldavid:
Yes, Peter Obi is coming...
Tell somebody to tell somebody to tell another person to tell another person again and again....the news must get to everyone that Obi is coming....preach it, sing it....dance it...announce it on the mountain top, over the valley....that Obi is coming....

He is coming indeed, but we have much work to do so he arrives.

melechpilusof:
You are talking about Fulani vs hausa.
I'm talking about America vs ISWAP, ISWAP VS AES, AES VS ECOWAS.
It will be like Libya with bombardment from the sky.

Now we have both stated our various visions, let's wait and see which one will come to reality. Because obviously, what I have just written never crossed your mind. When I'm done with you, you will bow and respect me .

And I am talking about "Northern Nigeria will be turned into a war zone", which current trend suggests is likely, regardless who's involved. And Nigeria being like "Libya with bombardment from the sky", has been predicted many times over, and is why I oppose USA intervention in Nigeria.

As for bowing and respecting, you just need continue respecting buda and buda wil respect you in return, though know buda does not bow and does not need to be bowed to.

KingRabota:
People travel to hostile places
People find themselves in the midst of dangerous people. Sometimes a person maybe served food from an untrusted or unreliable source .
It may not always be possible to cook your choice meal with ingredients handpicked from the market.
We don't don't always find ourselves in ideal situations or circumstances

Why would you think people want to poison you? Did you offend them? And why eat in "hostile places" or receive food from "untrusted or unreliable sources"? Can't you not wait until you remove yourself from "hostile places" and "untrusted or unreliable source" before you eat?

I think the issue here is you and I are different. No one wants to poison me, because I have offended no one. And I seem to have more faith, and be able to trust others a lot more than you seem capable of for some reason.

Anyway, we making the bread I promised, with ingredients I bought for myself so know are not poisoned. Talk later.
