Have you seen the rigging by ADC in Anambra?

VIDEO [SITUATION REPORT]:

ADC Caught with pre-thumbprinted ballot papers in Aguata, Anambra State, to rig the ongoing Anambra South Senatorial By-election.

This was the same thing LP did in 2023 Presidential and Legislative elections.pic.twitter.com/XIcq93zEdW

Ofcourse he cannot win but he can kill the career of Obi and give Tinubu a smooth re-election.

That's killing 2 birds with a stone.

Obi’s career is already dead!

One thing for sure is that Jonathan cannot win. He can alter the dynamics but he cannot win.

I think he knows that too which is why he has said to those urging him to run to bring back Atiku and Obi to PDP first. I guess he clearly knows he can’t win with PDP as it is and is therefore unlikely to run.

U don't need to be a politician to mange politicians or or countries affairs. Many of these politicians are accidental politicians who ndid study political science or related courses.

Buhari, obasanjo, Abacha where not politicians but Baracks soldiers.

Mko abiola was not a politicians but a businessman. Alex otti snd Peter Obi were bankers or so and stumbled into politics so anybody capable of leading well can be a president.

MKO Abiola has been a politician since the 1970s. He was the main financier of the NPN, His so called business empire was intertwined with govt. even concord newspapers was established as a mouthpiece for the NPN. In fact I need to check but he was already in politics before the 1966 coup (confirmed below….. he was state chairman of NPN in 1979). Nigerian soldiers are politicians. They’ve been running the govt since 1966. OBJ, Buhari and Abacha had been either ministers, governors or/and members of the SMC or AFRC since 1966.

As for obi and Otti. Managing a state is not the same as managing a countryq. It’s easier to step into government at state level than national level.
Accidental politicians fail at the national level. Examples being GEJ who wasn’t in control of his govt and Osinbajo who was sidelined in govt even referred to as a mere commissioner and lost his polling units and was humiliated in the primaries.

jaxxy:
There are many credible leaders who are not in politics that can make good presidents. it doesn't have to be a past governor or senator.

It generally has to be. The job of a president is more about managing politicians. If you can’t manage politicians they will overwhelm and destroy your presidency.

ogunsbanjul:
This is a clear indication that you're one of those Igbos who believe Ebonyi state people are not real Igbo. If not Eng. David Umahi should be NO 1 on the list.

Nevertheless below are the competent Igbos who can be considered, supported, campaigned for and are competent whose antecedents and past deeds will speak volume for:
1. Eng. David Umahi
2. Dr. Okonjo Iweala
3. Prof. Charles Soludo and
4. Hon. Kalu (current deputy speaker house of representatives?

Kalu is unelectable, NOI will not sell in the Muslim north. Brilliant as she is, she is Female, Christian and Ibo and has no political experience.

Another problem with NOI is that although an Ibo, she is not technically from the SE. the powers that be will view her candidacy as a problem because it won’t silence the agitation from the SE because the SE will still say they haven’t had an Ibo president.

Johnbulll:
Obi is always your nightmare

That’s why he isn’t marketable.


If your votes were alone to make him president then his opinion as a non ibo voter would not matter.

This thread is about marketable. Marketable is not about who you the ibo man likes but who the market (rest of (Nigeria) will accept. You can take a winter coat to Russia and Canada and sell loads but it is unmarketable in Nigeria no matter how brilliant the design or quality of the winter coat. You can do adverts and marketing campaigns till the chickens come home, it won’t sell in Nigeria. If you want to sell a product in Nigeria, you bring one the Nigerians can accept…one suitable for the Nigerian market. Trying to market people like Obi and Abaribe is like trying to sell a winter coat in Nigeria. Ab initio he is a bad product for the market.


I keep telling people, everybody acknowledges that Awo would have been a great president but he never became president because he wasn’t marketable outside Yoruba land….. Tinubu and OBJ became president because they were marketable outside Yoruba land. Yorubas don’t like OBJ but that was who it took to produce a Yoruba president.


The day you people understand that your opinion does not matter and that what matters is the opinion of the non ibos is the day you begin the journey to an ibo presidency.

Your fixation on Obi has set you back 40yrs because as it stands, the next southern president is coming from the SS which means the next slot for the ibos is 2055.

None of the people mentioned in this thread wil be in the reckoning then. The youngest of them Obi will be 94!

You have to understand your market before you attempt to market a product. You are not the market! You don’t decide for the market and try and force it down the market.


Assuming Obi is even a good product, the product is not the market.

You don’t conduct market research by asking the same people who created the product, you conduct market research by asking the target market. The target market are non ibo voting public.


When you see an overwhelming response of Umahi and Soludo, and a rejection of the names listed that is your market research. That is the non ibos telling you the type of a ibo candidates they are comfortable with.

The choice is yours. Continue to push an unsellable product or introduce another product.

Tinubu and Umahi should go and fix Benin - Asaba road.....and other broken Federal roads that serves many States

Lalasdiva:
The top 4 most marketable politicians from the south east without any EFCC case, who can withstand pressure and maintain their stance without compromising their region or brother for political favour, and have contributed positively to the region are:
1. Mr. Peter Gregory Obi
2. Dr. Alex Chioma Otti
3. Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe
4. Dr. Chris Ngige
Other politicians from the south east are driven by financial gain.

Are you ibo? If you are let me explain what marketable means. Marketable means someone acceptable to the voters who can make him president. Since ibo votes are not enough to make him president, marketable means someone the non ibos will vote for.


Cancel Obi and Abaribe outright, they are IPOB. Non ibos are not going to vote for someone sympathetic to IPOb in deed or in words. Ngige and Otti don’t have what it takes to win a presidential election


Right now the only marketable ibos are UMahi and Soludo.

Anyone mentioning NOI, or Bianca does not understand Nigeria. Has there been a female governor? Yet you want the Muslim north to vote for a female Christian ibo as president. Slow down on the delusion.

Nigerians are just a bunch of comedians.


Nnnnnnnnnn

McboG:
Would you be so kind as to tell us who allotted these roles and how they arrived at the decision? Were the roles assigned at the famous Universal Congress of the Sexes, which is held every decade, and to which each sex sends elected representatives? Or did you consult individual men and women for their opinion and derived the rule from the majority position?

It is your view that is the embarrassing one. This isn't the 50s. You have no authority to assign gender roles, nor does anyone else. People are free to configure their family lives as they please.

If, as a man, you would prefer a partner who has no will apart from yours and no ambition apart from what you permit, then I hope you find someone who is alright with being subjugated, who wishes only to be provided for and to produce children. That is your prerogative. But don't ever pretend that your medieval fetish is some kind of universal truth.

Women have as much right as any man to personal and professional aspirations, and there are many men who rightly and actively support their spouses in those pursuits.

You say men die early because they do not "prioritize themselves". Do you not see the contradiction in that view? If it is his role to provide, how can he also prioritize himself? Do you not see that it is also in the man's economic interest for the woman to excel in her chosen field?

Finally, I cannot for the life of me imagine why a man would wish to remove themselves from the raising of their own children? Why on earth would you want to leave that to your wife alone? Na wa o.

Again I didn’t read your entire post.


Read your Bible or Koran. Or watch animals in their natural habitat. Perhaps I should also suggest you go back to school and relearn English. A woman’s role is nurturing is not the same as a man should not raise his child. I never said that. That’s your interpretation. That is down to poor English comprehension on your part. In the Raising a child a father and a mother have different roles. It’s why children without fathers always exhibit certain attributes. Because only a father can do them right….because fathers and mothers have roles designed by nature and much as you may want to wish them away you can’t. If you do consequences will manifest on the child.

I’m done with this topic. Do what you want with your life.

I shudder to think that people who are birthing & going to raise children have warped thinking like this.

I will take your post one by one.

Your 2nd paragraph: where is it written that it's a man's role to provide? Please be specific & let me know. But let's assume it's a man's role, how about homes where the woman is the, joint, major or even the only provider (as it's the case with 90% of homes now) . How do we handle that?
Again, the word "nurture" means something that BOTH parents should offer to the child/ren. The mistake you will make is to think nurture is just about DIRECT breastfeeding which is the only thing I know ONLY a woman can provide.
So there's already a disturbance in the balance you talked about.

Your 3rd paragraph: what reality is it that in life the children benefit the mother more than the father? Or is it something you guys tell yourself so you won't be involved in raising the children?
It takes more than providing sperm & money to be a father. If all mothers did was to only provide the womb & money for the children while you guys also provide the sperm & money as you guys ONLY do , what do you think will happen?
The man in the story is ranting like a bush rat because he probably ONLY provided the sperm. The money was joint. Ask me how I know...

Your 4th paragraph: like how an average Nigerian man suddenly finds the word "manipulative" in their dictionary immediately they get married. The men who didn't get involved in the children's lives die old & miserable & you are pitying them? You shouldn't because they have just paved the way for you to NOT do what they did.


Finally, you are telling men not to be gaslighted into adding a role that is not theirs. You see the problem of marriages these days....people don't really enter with their whole heart. Marriage should be given 100 / 100 by both parties & not 50 / 50. In 50 / 50, you can afford to say, this is my role & this is yours". But in 100 / 100, you are BOTH committed to doing ANYTHING that will make the other happy & strengthen the union. And in this case, even if it means taking up "other roles" as you said.

I rest my case!

I didn’t read your post because I know people like you and I know the heist of what you are saying before you say it.

Are you happy to have a well playing job and have a man who doesn’t work and stays at home to nurture and has entitlement to your money? Are you happy to fix your car yourself, deal with mechanics, plumbers, electricians etc yourself etc while your husband sits at home to nurture?

If you are not happy that your husband is not working or fix things around the house, does not handle things like dealing with the mechanic, then it means men have roles and despite what you say, you want a man to perform his role! We also want women who know respect and understand their roles. That I do something occasionally does not mean it is my role.

Simple!

Once again stop telling lies. He is not the only gardener. Secondly nobody places gardeners on salary neither do a flowers and grass grow bushy every week after trimming. Last there is no special thing a gardener does that your housebound can't do if you have a lawn mower and grass cutter. So stop spreading lamba

Jesus wept. This is why people like you are hungry.

What do you mean nobody places gardeners on salaries? I pay my gardener every month. He comes twice a week. Which cave did you crawl out of? Whether you are full time or part time, what you pay the gardener is his salary.

They don’t go bushy every week is exactly why he can Cover many residents in the estate. Like I said he can do as little as an 1hr work to half a day or more.


Upgrade your circumstances. Making excuses is why People like you end up working for people who didn’t go to school and paid peanuts. Instead of you to ponder your life and where you have gotten it wrong you are denying 1st hand report from someone with knowledge.

Are you also going to deny that plumbers, mechanics and electricians make more than professors and most graduates? You’ll be shocked how much the some artisans and people educated people look down on make. They make not be rich but a lot of them make a lot more than most graduates. The problem with western education in Nigeria is they programmed for jobs and not to think outside the box.

They slapped a N36m tax bill on Peller, the guy is a drop out! Something is wrong with our education system in Nigeria.

Below are 2 quotes for jobs I had done in my house. One was for a blocked Soakaway chamber and one was to do some electrical work. In both cases both jobs took 1 day or less. See how much I paid in Labour on both instances. These guys are not graduates. They have jobs everyday!

nedu666:
Oga shove your lies down your throat. A gardener that makes 500k a month, you think this is tales by moonlight. Rubbish

When we produce graduates ill equipped to think, this is what you get. This is why you are hungry in a land of opportunities. This is why Peller who didn’t go to school is employing masters degree holders for the job of a camera man.

The gardener has multiple clients in the same estate. His salary goes from 30-65k a month depending on the number of times he visits the compound and the size. The time he spends in each property varies from 1-2 hrs to half a day depending on the work he has to do. On average he visits 2-3 properties a day. If you are prepared to work in Nigeria, you will never be hungry. If your degree is worthless to start with and feel as a graduate you are waiting to be employed because the world owes you a job, you will forever be hungry.

This is he reason why many graduates are unemployed or poorly paid because the teachers and lecturers who taught you earn less than gardeners, mechanics, plumbers and electricians. You can’t be better than your teachers.

Do we have more people hungry, jobless, homeless and in extreme poverty than 10 years ago when ebilokan made his expired northerner replace Jonathan and PDP prosperity with APC shege

people have always been hungry. they were hungry under Balewa, under Gowon, under Obasanjo v1, under shagari, and so on and there will always be hungry people.

but those who want to work and use their brains in this country will always make money. there are 200m+ people. that is 200M+ opportunities.


we are paying for the false prosperity of jonathan. what you thought was prosperity was what they call giving a man a fish instead of teaching him how to fish. tell me what infrastructure GEJ built in this period of prosperity?

Infrastructure creates jobs. it attracts investments and companies, companies employ people. if someone gave you money toeat or easy life but did not create the infrastrucutre that will create companies that will employ you, is that really your friend?

Say what you may about Buhari but nobody is spending 12 hrs driving from lagos to ibadan and that road will be there for decades, same with rail, 2nd niger bridge etc etc etc.

You get society?

Your society is filled with evil men. Men so dark in heart that when they cross a bridge,they will break it instead of allowing others to pass.
Nigeria today is a dysfunctional society.

Single motherhood is better than men who fathers other men's chikd in nigeria and pretend they are innocent. That's why when they travel,they end up in jail cos they think it's biz as usual.

Mr poster, please tell me......what's the reality on ground

Stop deceiving yourself

you people are very shallow in your thinking. When Tinubu started his reforms you and your master obi were pointing to Argentina as an example of what Nigeria should be doing. can you give us and update on Argentina because you people have been very quiet on Argentina?

The reality on the ground is that there has been a one time adjustment to reality. Inflation and the exchange rate have stabilized and we have stopped living a lie.

The reality is people are hungry and others are laughing all the way to the bank. I was talking to a gardener he has many homes he tenders, he told me he does 2-3 compounds in a day...he makes N500k a month. Some people will always be hungry but in this same country some people are making money. If a gardener earns 500k a month you have no buisness as a graduate earning N200K. the problem is you. Peller was given a bill of N35m in taxes, he didnt go to school. if you want to work in Nigeria you will make money, if you dont want to work, you probably were probably already hungry even before TInubu became president.

descarado:
Tell that to the court. This is not Nigeria.parenting is 50/50.
We can see how a man's security and financial roles have shaped Nigeria. Pathetic

we can also see how eradication of the traditional roles of men has done to the societies in the west and the rise in gay men, single mothers etc in Nigeria.

cococandy:
Na you dey fight yourself.

You said men are not supposed to be nurturing.
In the same paragraph, you’re lamenting how your kids will abandon you in old age. You have no one but yourself to blame for that.

Be “masculine” all you want in exchange for a lonely old age. Your choice.

But I’ll have you know that real masculine men dote on and nurture their children as well. And in exchange, they don’t have to worry about being abandoned in old age.

I didn't lament. i simply told you the reality of the life of a man. its not abandonment. Children will not have your time in your old age because they are busy with their own lives. they may come to visit you for 1 hr every week or month or call you for a few minutes every now and again but in reality they are not there. Children prioritize their mothers not their fathers. its only when you are sick they have your time.

Nobody said abandon your children or be a stranger to your children but "nurturing" is a mother's role.

Look for 10 men you think were role models in raising a family according to any definition you want who have died. I can guarantee you only 1 of them (maximum 2) was in regular contact with his children before the died. it is even going to be worse in future because most children end up abroad.


In fact, go and visit any Uncle from 60 plus whose children have left home and whom you regard as a good father, find out how frequently his children visit or call.
In fact wen last did you vist or call your dad, for how long how frequently?


The men who experience frequent presence from his children in his old age are generally wealthy men where the children are simply protecting their inheritance.

cococandy:
Oh I wonder why. Probably has nothing to do with them thinking they don’t have a nurturing role in the family.

A mans role is not nurturing, a man's role is to provide financially, give security , provide structure, and provide direction. stop trying to feminise men!

modern women want to abandon their roles eat their cake and have it, no wonder society is falling apart!

Babangidapikin:
I think she did right so you know it's not about sending money ...you want to leave her to go an enjoy with another woman ba.. forgetting someone is ignoring her dreams to raise your kids ...

i find this kind of talk nauseating especially coming from a man.

the role of a man is to procreate and provide. the role of a woman is to procreate and nurture. if a woman decides to have other "dreams" outside her role, it is for her to make it work without disturbing the balance in her home.

the children belong to both parents. stop this nonsense of your children. The reality is that in life the children benefit the mother more than the father. most men end up ignored later by the wife and children in life despite having children wherasmost women end up being looked after by their children so stop this emotional gaslighting of "your children".

if you let your wife gaslight you with this "your children" nonsense by the time you find out youve been manipulated and what marraige is really about it will be too late. Most men who live to old age die miserable and with regret despite having children because they didnt prioritize themselves.

Support your wife yes but as a man dont be gaslighted into adding a role that is not yours, life is hard enough for men with little benefits or appreciation.

Repackaging of sidechicks. Was this not the one that one grandfather's children were warning her to leave their father alone?

Dangote has no single liability.Rhey are covered by insurance. Na the insurance company get issues with the victim.

Slightly related: Insurance laws in Nigeria especially as it concerns logistics and vehicular movement can be tricky. Therefore, do not delay when such an incidence occurs. Use everything legal and every availableeans to formally notify Dangote and the insurance company, if you know them.

If you don't, get someone to write the MD/Legal Head of the particular Dangote company involved within 48hrs. Write via any available means. Your chances at compensation at always better if you do this.

I am putting this out here cos I am well aware that it's not everyone that can raise alarm and get attention like Phyna. Some may be too broke to even afford legal services during these trying periods. So, anyone that can put up a letter can write. Jotst notify them. Even if it's in pigin or your native language.

I said as much in a different thread.

casualobserver:
This is why Tinubu signed the insurance bill.

Dangote or any of his managers has no obligation to visit the sister in hospital. It is a traffic accident. The trucks are insured. The insurance company will foot any bill!

Is it not hospital bill and compensation they want? What does Dangote or his manager coming to see her do except to take picture?

End of story.

We have been so used to anyhowness in this country for so long that we have a generation who don’t even know how things are done. We have people that think because I hit you in a traffic accident I must come and visit you in hospital…..for what? That’s why I have insurance!!! Ask for my insurance details and make your claims to the insurance company!

SmartPolician:
This is absolute BS! Nigeria needs sweeping reforms like making legislative services to be a part-time role, shutting down of the useless legislative houses (preferably the senate) to cut the cost of governance and fortifying the EFCC to punish politicians for not keeping to their campaign promises.

Until then, Tinubu is just a jester and another time waster like the man before him. Nigeria cannot keep taking 2 steps forward and 6 steps backwards: we have been doing that since 1960.

sorry eh! all this good news and the frequency of it is really paining you people! in Wike's voice "as e dey pain dem, e go dey sweet us!
