One evidence is in the fact that he never saw anything wrong with investing state funds in a family business. One would expect that a successful businessman like Obi would understand the meaning of conflict of interest. Yet, while he was running mate to Atiku Abubakar, Obi justified his investing public funds in a family business. The question is, could he say that if he were an elected officer in a developed country like the United States?
Another evidence is in the fact that Obi asked his supporters to collect money from other politicians and vote for him. This advice has many moral implications. Nigeria has struggled with vote selling for years. However, Obi does not seem to understand that he is asking people to collect money with the impression that they are selling their votes. Bribery is a corrupt act. The receiver is just as guilty of the crime as the giver. It is the same with vote buying and selling. Let us suppose that an undercover agent catches an Obidient member collecting money from PDP or APC, for example, what does Obi expect would be the fate of such an Obidient member? Of course, the law will charge him with vote selling. And yet, it was Obi that gave him that terrible advice.
Now to the question of why Obi is a blabbermouth. IDPs in a country do not translate to everyone being an IDP in that country. This is a blanket statement. In fact, in philosophy (which is where Obi has a bachelor's degree), the premise is faulty, and therefore the conclusion will invariably be faulty.
Premise: There are Nigerians in IDP camps in Nigeria
Conclusion: Therefore, Nigeria is an IDP camp.
This is similar to:
Premise: There are Nigerians in Chinese companies in Nigeria.
Conclusion: Therefore, Nigeria is a Chinese company.
What family business did obi invest government funds in?
Even if it were true, how does automatically translate to not understanding right and wrong?
If you say he is a "successful businessman", how did he become a "successful businessman" without knowing right and wrong?
How does asking his supporters to collect money from other politicians and vote for him mean that he doesn't understand right and wrong?
What are the moral implications of such move?
What is the "vote selling" in this instance? What is the bribery there?
This is the entire quote below:
“If Nigerians are made to leave their homes and live in IDP camps, then Nigeria as a country is an IDP camp because these are Nigerians that should be in their homes.
“The purpose of government is to care for its citizens and the first line of care is the less privileged, government takes care of the less privileged people.
“My commitment is to ensure that every Nigerian sleeps and wakes up feeling proud to be a Nigerian and not live in an IDP camp.”
gypsey: So all you are interested in are my spelling mistakes. well...you teach me how to spell these words i would like to learn.. I wear glasses when typing my visions are not very good hence my spelling mistakes, if you want to mock me because of my poor vision also, you can, it doesn't bother me, if anything i was agreeing with you that i couldn't understand that individual's comment either. Spelling mistakes doesn't mean i am stupid or unreasonable.
Have a good day. Oops! I hope i spelt this Have good day correctly.
And oh! did you know that some English white people born and bred in England can not spell some English words correctly?
Did you know that some world's leaders and prominent people have difficulties spelling or writting in English, i guess that makes them stupid, did you know that there is a medical condition called dyslexia?
gypsey: You can try from now till March 2023 to understand that rubbish talk you will never get it. some of the individuals on here reasons like 12 years old minors.
You are absolutely correct. Is it "12 years old" or "12 year old"?
Is it "reasons" or "reason"?
Am surprised that as an adult, you can't make those distinction except you telling me that you qualify as one of those who reason like a 12year old.
The other day, he asked his followers to collect bribe and vote for him. In his words "Collect their money and vote for me. It is your money." The very same excuse Yahoo boys make to justify their scamming of Oyinbo. This man does not understand the concept of right and wrong.
Now, he says because there is IDP camps in Nigeria, then the whole country is an IDP camp.
Might I remind him that people are forced to sit at home every Monday in his region. Does that mean that every Nigerian is held under duress every Monday?
Am really trying to understand the point you are making here. Honestly I don't
plaindealer: When even IDP folks hate you and don't want to see a worthless political opportunist and eye service devil using their condition to play puerile and dumb ipob politics.
How do IDP folks hate him?
How is he a "worthless political opportunist"?
If you talking of an "eye service devil using their condition to play puerile and dumb ipob politics", will you say the same of the tinubus?
Eriokanmi: You're one of the reasons buhari called youths lazy. You even mentioned equipping of library with ASUU half salary. With this alone, I conclude you didn't know Jack, on why they embarked on that strike in the first place. Students welfare contributed over 60% of the reason they went on strike, including the equipping of the library you ignorantly mentioned.
If you were owed piled upn arrears in your workplace and.your employer keeps saying he'd fulfill his promise and years later, the situation remained same, what wouid you do to get your owed salary? Be sincere. That's what ASUU had done. It's not only the failed government of the day, which you're defending that were culpable in the reneged promises, past pdp governments, some of whom are now members of the apc today also caused the mess. That's why we're sending both parties off next year Feb. They've done Nigeria to many bad than good. That over 100bn stolen by that accountant-general alone could have gone some way in addressing part of the ASUU demands. Na so so corruption this government sabi. They're not interested in the Nigerian future.
Franzinni: well you need an upgrade of your brain grade
good. so what is "brain grade"?
It's because you can comprehend I asked you these questions. Can't you comprehend the questions?
Since you say you can't explain, then where is the break down that you broke down or does "broken down" have another meaning? meanwhile, you still havent explained what this "deep layer" is
Thisday and other APC government media newspapers and charlatans have a way of dishing out fake hope to agbado urchins out there, for it go soon clare. Na like dis them go do till obi is declared winer next year.
Anything to make agbado urchins happy in this yeltide season is welcome
Some if you need to be objective. If certain information doesn't go as you pls, how does that automatically mean that those who provider the info are from APC? You guys are too emotional
madridguy: The labouring in vain party will not stop making person to laugh LP candidate graduated as third class student and no amount of shouting will make him first or second in the real poll.
Jagaban no get rival.
Emi lokan of Nigeria is our next president.
Can you show us the 3rd class certificate?
Even if he did graduate with 3rd class, how has his fared in his life and profession?
How does Tinubu has no rival? If he has no rival, why you giving so much attention to obi?
Kobonaire234: The homes are not paid for by the state per se, they are private homes, and they are paid for with a lot of money...private money...out of pocket money.
The problem with us Nigerians is that we want the good things the whites have without thinking how long, hard and tough they have worked for it, or how it is straining their finances to pay for it. Like for example, we want the same kind of healthcare they have in the UK and the US without paying the high taxes (UK) or the high health bills(US) they pay there. Impossible.
By the way, we do have a few old people's homes in this country.
P.S
And no I am not telling you that Nigeria does not have a corruption problem, or that Buhari is right, or that we all need to vote Tinubu. I am just stating our problem, and why we cannot do as the whites do. Maybe if we stop subsides on power, petrol, and also pay a higher tax rate than our 8.1% tax to gdp ratio, and also export more things...both raw materiel and industrial products...maybe we would have good welfare systems funded by us.
You have come again with your fallacies. Lucky for us, you are saying "maybe". You are no longer definite. But please help us answer the following which you have always avoided answering.
You say nigerians aren't paying high taxes as the US or UK. Pls can you tell us what has been done with the taxes so far collected?
Were the US and UK always paying the high taxes they presently pay? How did they start?
Are the subsidies paid on power and oil the reason for Nigeria's predicament?

funkmrflexx: I've broken up with my ex for a year now, after I broke up I got married. I was the one who ended the relationship because she started misbehaving when she got into school, it seems she was tired of the relationship cus she met other guys who could give her what she wanted (I was the one who sponsored her schooling) so I ended it because It seems she was bigger than me and I couldn't contain her anymore. When I told i I didn't want the relationship, she was suprised because I had spent a lot on her school so she thought I couldn't end it cus I've invested in her school. But I shocked her and ended everything. She started bragging that she would meet someone better than me and I said no problem There are a lot of guys out there she should try I luck. But I told her she might find a guy that's richer than I am but she won't find a guy like me. So I moved on with my life, not up to 3 months after we broke up she met someone else, the guy bought her an iPhone(she started freaking out about iPhone cus she sees girls in her school use it) the guy has a car and even rented a new apartment for her
Even after meeting this new guy she has been stalking me on social media, first it was facebook and Instagram but I ignored it (mind you she has blocked me on all social media platforms including whatsapp and my phone numbers)
So this morning my wife told me that she saw a friend request notification from someone on Facebook looked like my ex, but when she went to accept the friend request it has already been deleted. She later searched the name on Facebook and found out it was my ex. I just told my wife not to answer her or anything. I still wonder why she's still stalking me on social media when she has obviously found someone she thinks it's better than me. I was thinking about calling her and warning her off my wife. I can take her stalking me and all but my wife is where it ends.
It's been a year she should move on
All this "I was the one who sponsored her schooling" gang. I don't know why some of you feel you are obligated to sponsor a girl in school. Are you getting any award for it? With this mentality, you automatically think you own the girl. What a crude way of thinking. When the girl starts misbehaving, you start forming Voltron. Your fellow guys even family go ask una for money, una no go give because you became foster father to one babe.
Franzinni: I guess you can't comprehend it .... It's above your brain grade
Is there anything like "brain grade"?

Franzinni: I am not struggling, I just don't think explaining to you would be of any use to me ... Informing you on anything is a waste of my time ... Try and understand it like anybody else

harqinhola: [b][/b] BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS NOT YOUR MATE IN POLITICS, EVEN YOUR CANDIDATES CONSULT HIM FOR POLITICAL GUIDANCE .
MOST OF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO NURTURE A DREAM AND STRATEGICALLY WORK TOWARDS THE ACTUALISATION. YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM FROM CONCEPTUALISING THE IDEA BECAUSE STOPING HIM NOW WHEN THE DREAM HAS BECOME REALITY IS IMPOSSIBLE.
2023 IS ASIWAJU’s TURN ! TINUBU LO’KAN .
Where is it in the constitution that it is Tinubus turn?
So Tinubu is now depending on Jonathan? The same Jonathan that he denigrated because he wanted buhari to win?
Pls tell us "WHAT IT TAKES TO NURTURE A DREAM AND STRATEGICALLY WORK TOWARDS THE ACTUALISATION".
