Visocrate:
Ok in a time like this we actually need someone with high intellectual , sociopolitical ,philosophical and techo-Scientific capabilities to handle the affairs of this great nation not people that will reduce their ages to be elected so that they can come and loot the treasury. Peter Obi without any sentiment is such man , with proven record of transparent governance But because Nigerian politics is not about competency he will never surface they will say he is an Igbo man, but Nigeria is this BAD because we have denied the competent the opportunity to correct the mess of our ancestors that are still ruling us.

You call Peter Obi an intellectual? You obviously do not know the meaning of the word.

I am from Anambra state, and I make bold to say that Peter Obi does not have what it takes to be president of Nigeria.

Go to Anambra and check out roads constructed under his administration. Most of them have now been taken over by potholes, in less than a decade.

As governor, for eight years, he handpicked LGA executives and couldn't conduct an election. Which serious minded leader plays down governance at that lowest level? Did he account for LGA funds?

Also, he has proven not to be a trustworthy leader by saving most of Anambra funds in a bank in which he holds the most stake? What do you call that?

Oga, you don't know Peter Obi one bit. Forget what you see on TV. We sabi am reach him town, Agulu.

mrvitalis:
So to be an engineer I have to go to polytechnics ?
Why don't they study engineering in polytechnics ?
Smh

Where did I mention polytechnic or all these that you talked about?

Bros, e be like say you need rest o. Try rest.

mrvitalis:
Bros are you a graduate of engineering or an engineer ...mind you they are two different things

What would you call an engineering graduate? A tailor?

Registration with engineering regulatory bodies or associations is a different thing altogether.

However, every engineering graduate is an engineer. That is why you see those with COREN, NSE indicating and attaching these titles to their names.

mrvitalis:
Google is your friend oga

What is this one saying? You mean google will reveal that engineers are not expected to carryout maintenance or installation tasks?

To be an engineer, you have to become a technician and a technologist.

These are stages to becoming an engineer.

So, every engineer is a technician and a technologist.

We too dey carry body sef. I am an engineer and I do not see anything wrong with carrying out repairs and maintenance tasks.

mrvitalis:
Technicians not engineers for heavens sake

Repair , maintaining and installation are not jobs of engineers but technicians

Oga, I am an engineer. There is nothing around repair or maintenance that an engineer shouldn't do.

Or is there a law now prohibiting engineers from carrying out maintenance?

Mind you, engineers are technicians and technologists too...it is just a slightly higher technical title.

GooodHardDick:
Yeah, he's right.

No president has done worst than buhari. Buhari is an epitome of failure, he is a calamity and a disaster to humanity. In a sane society like the US, Canada and UK, Idiots like Buhari and masari would have been chilling in prison by now

You are not making any sense.

Say things that make the worst president.... otherwise keep quiet.

qekng40:


Baba don vex

Na only mumu go think say na people buy form for Peter Obi et al

We have a lot of gullible Nigerians, what a pity

Meanwhile Peter Obi and Yemi Osinbajo will have my votes if they emerge as candidates of their Parties!

Neither of them would emerge as candidates.

CapnMike:
My brother, we all want a better country with better standards of living. This is one thing we can agree with.

What he said is not hard to understand now.

If someone says don't vote any party, what the person is saying is don't vote any particular party because you want to vote the party or because you have ties with the party.

The candidates must be in a party as we all know.

What he was simply saying is don't say vote PDP, APC or any other party because you are a follower of the party or because they give you money.

He was telling people to vote for the right candidate and he was not talking about independent candidacy as you said.

I agree that the church has part to play in the development and advancement of the nation and the little statement he made is one that is needed at this time.

God bless you.

You have made valid points, which I agree to wholesomely.

I think we all have to concentrate on doing our bits in our small areas to help better the country.

Make we leave all these 'technical adviser roles' and start fixing our little space within the larger Nigeria.

CoronaVirusPro:
Men are really funny!


That's how one told us he drove from Ore to Lagos on empty tank

Abeg, who talk am again?

Lol.

They won't kill me in this country.

CapnMike:
Like I said, all you want to do is disagree with what he said since you don't like him and you are still proving that.

You claim that there is no sense in what he said yet other people are saying that it makes sense.

You say that what we are facing today is as a result of failed parenting and good leadership.

I ask you one question, have you not seen people who received good training at home and decided to turn bad?

In case you haven't, I have.

You also say that all the funds used in building that cathedral is not legit and I can't disagree with you.

No matter how you behave, you can't know the sources of income for all your members and followers. They can tell you some and and hide some and they could even lie about their source of income totally.

When he spoke against internet fraud in Nigeria, were you not amongst the people who condemned him?

We can continue to argue and argue, but all I know is that we all want good leadership and all he said is correct. We need a leader who is ready to prepare Nigeria for the future.

Stop trying to attack someone who is speaking the truth.

If pastors talk, you people will condemn them. If they don't talk, you'll still condemn them. Na wa for una sef.

Why would I condemn him when he spoke against internet fraudsters? I dey mad?

You can't say I hate him because I disagreed with him in this instance. I actually was among people who hailed his condemnation of 'yahoo yahoo'. I condemn it everyday.

I have been to Ibiyeomie's Church at Birabi in the GRA area of Port Harcourt. I no hate am, but I must not agree with everything he says. I no dey do 'blind following'.

What I know for sure is that religious organizations can do more to fix Nigeria's economic and moral ills.

Building physical edifices and always attempting to exonerate herself from our collective challenges, is the wrong approach.

As for what you said about a child having good home training and veering in the other direction at adulthood, that is subjective. What you call good home training may fall far below par, by another person's evaluation. E get who go gree say e no train him pikin well?

I still maintain that the home, the community, the school and the Church / mosque have a huge role to play in restoring Nigeria's moral standards, and better the country.

It may not be Ibiyeomie directly, but his colleagues, in their numbers, are involved in 'prayer on laptops' for yahoo boys, and are accomplices in many money ritual killings.

There is no doubt, that the Church, in particular, is responsible for fueling the craze for wealth among young people. You may keep defending all you want. I have just said what I believe is the gospel truth.

Again, what Ibiyeomie said about voting individuals instead of parties does not hold any water. Where will the individuals that should be voted come from? The same society that is a moral mess abi? Voting party or individual isn't the issue. The issue should be how we can progressively and incrementally raise and nurture morally upright individuals in our society. How we can deemphasize materialism, and start recognizing and celebrating high moral standards.

The home, the community, worship places and educational institutions are the most veritable platforms to achieving a better Nigeria.

O gwu ka oham nonu.

CapnMike:
From all you have typed it is not hard to see that you generally angry with all or most pastors and you feel that all of them are evil and are the same thing.

Since you don't understand what he said, let me explain it to you.

What he meant is that people should not choose leaders based on tribe, ethnicity or religion.

He also said that people should vote people who have a future for the country and not just people whose plan is to get into office.

Everything he said is in agreement with what many sensible Nigerians have been saying and I believe you also agree with it.

You are only trying to find a way to say something negative about him since you don't like him.

By the way the Bible never called buying private jets a sin. As long as it was bought with legit funds, there is no problem with that.

David Ibiyeomie does not own a private jet so I don't know why you brought that into this matter.

And the Bible called running for public office under a political party a sin abi?

Which legit funds? When it comes to pastors, funds become legit. How would things get better when pastors no longer bother about what people, who donate huge sums to their churches, do for a living?

Do you even know how massive his Church headquarters building is? You cannot convince me that all funds contributed and invested in that project in Igwuruta, Ikwerre LGA, are legit.

There is nothing sensible in what he has said. They, pastors, contribute significantly to the mess our society has become.

We have to say it as it is. If you dey fear to talk true, me I no dey fear.

All we are facing today stem directly from failure of parenting, community, religious and national leaderships. No one should be exempted hiding under the Bible or Quaran.

Una dey find am easy to play attacking positions if dem dey blame political leaders for our failures, but when dem mention pastors, una go go defence.

Betece:
Nothing go unite me and Fulani man for this world not even money ...
Speak for yourself

Child!

Food, fuel, public services, including schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, transportation utilities etc.

Many things and more, unite us...football is just one of them.

CapnMike:
You just dey find talk.

Is there any part of the Bible or the constitution that says after 4 or 8 years a pastor should handover the ministry he heads to another person?

Please show me.

Thanks.

Is there any law in Nigeria requiring Nigerians not to vote party candidates but independent candidates?

Is there even any such thing independent candidacy in Nigeria?

What was your pastor even talking about?

See how you are struggling just to justify your pastor... was it the Bible that told them to buy private jets and live lavish lifestyles as they now do, since you are now suggesting that they only rely on the Bible for everything they do?

They even pray on the laptops of Yahoo boy and receive all kinds of material gifts from individuals with known questionable means and characters. Are they also acting in accordance to the Bible?

Massiveglory:
Shut up. If our country is run 50 or 60% of the way the church is run, the country will not be in the mess it is.

See this brainwashed fellow!

You call ripping people off their monies and living in opulence a great way to run any system?

The church is way worse off. Are their schools affordable? No! Do they pay taxes? No!

They engage pastors and pay them peanuts, and they go about bragging about having created jobs?

desiredhome:
Lol @ taking a break....... there's no difference between some of these pastor(pastorprenours) and the politicians.....

They both living large on the people's money.......

You dey mind dem?

Dem wan be GO forever, yet dem want politicians to just do small, enter house.

Dem worse pass politicians sef.

desiredhome:
No matter who is there, nothing will change.....
It's difficult to rule a people that over 60% are poor/illiterate......

Very true!

Ask Ibiyeomie how well he has ruled his Church?

We he be willing to 'take a break' from Salvation Ministries make another person chop small?

The illiteracy and poverty levels in Africa are alarming.

Massiveglory:
He is right. Enough of all these Mediocres politicians and desperadose looking for retirement when they should resting or be Elderly statesmen..
Nigeria needs people with will power and guts to correct abnormalities in the Nation and not mediocres and corrupt men.

How is he right?

Is it because he owns a big Church?

What he said can only make sense if our system begins to allow independent candidacy. Otherwise, he hasn't said anything.

I go advice am to mind him business, otherwise politicians too go advice tithe payers to give directly to the needy instead of pastors...

Fahdiga:
. Truly it is shame to Nigerians that someone like Tinubu is contesting to be the county's president

That is your own understanding.

While I do not support Tinubu to be president, we must recognize that he, like other Nigerians, is entitled to aspire to be president.

There is nothing to be ashamed about that. Age shouldn't be the reason he shouldn't be president. We should be talking about quality of ideas, programs, integrity, ability to get the job done etc.

We have seen older presidents elsewhere that are doing well. We have also seen younger presidents that aren't doing well.

How well did GEJ perform as president? Can he match Buhari's accomplishments despite being younger?

FalseProphet1:
Very anyhow overrated team. Shame on them.

I am glad they didn't qualify. Na this nonsense dem wan do for World Cup?

They are a bunch of hopeless idiots.

Imagine, as Nigeria big reach, we no fit find 11 players wey fit win match....

alsudan:
They lost the match when they took the Venue to Abuja where Mr. Badluck Buhari resides

A lineup made up of Fulani Herdsmen would have played better than those Grade D Yankee Machineries.

You people keep talking anyhow. You and Reno relate sef?

You left the hopeless Amaju Pinnick and Austin Eguavoen to blame Buhari....

You no just well at all.

No means of transportation is safe in the north again...

This is not about the North.

Insecurity is everywhere.

Parents and communities have lost control of their children.

Kidnapping is now the order of the day.

basseeafricana:
If he becomes President, relocate to Ghana or Sambisa

I won't relocate anywhere.

But he won't be president.

Mark my words!

Ekejoestar:
GYB has a lot of controversies surrounding him, from that percentage pay for teacher to many others,

I would have loved it to be Osinbajo and Peter Gregory Obi, but I don't know how people would see it

1) if Osinbajo is elected president while Obi a former governor is vice.
2) if Peter Obi is elected president while Osinbajo a former vice president becomes vice again.

But the best permutations I can think of now is Peter Obi and Fashola.

Or what do you think

Everything isn't about emotions.

Even during the military regimes, when have we had two persons from the same half of the country, presiding over the country?

What I think is that you never thought through what you wrote here. There is no iota of realism in it.

You came across as a foreigner. Out of the three names you reeled out, only Fashola has what it takes to be president. The other two are 'other' versions of Goodluck Jonathan.

Nigeria will overwhelm either Osinbajo and Obi. They can't handle her. Osinbajo is just being shielded by Buhari. He can't take on Nigeria's demons one on one. The right Nigerian leader is that person who could say NO to anyone, in the overall best interest of the country. Could Osinbajo do so to, perhaps, Pa Adeboye or Tinubu?

As for Obi, he would just be shouting 'China, China', and won't be able to deliver quality infrastructures. He would be encircled by gluttons in the guise of contractors. Go to Anambra and see all the roads that were constructed under him, most have been taken over by potholes. Obi couldn't conduct LGA elections in his 8 years as governor. What a shame!

Anyone who truly loves Nigeria will desire either a Fashola / Zulum or Fashola / Marwa ticket. Either of these tickets will deliver unforgettable rewards to Nigerians.

Ekejoestar:
What if Peter Obi and Babatunde Fashola team together to contest?

Am just imagining that they would make a good team and people like them are what we need.

Two Southerners team up to contest?

Who are the we?

Abeg, do not pair Fashola and Obi again, please. It is a huge mismatch.

Why do you have to underrate Fashola just to pair him with Obi? Nawa for you o.

FreeStuffsNG:
HE Amaechi sounds polite and humble (completely unlike those promoting him here on nairaland who frequently insult others and make condescending uncouth comments like bigoted tribesmen, pdp naysayers, and notorious ipob terrorists and their supporters).

He is fully convinced that those pushing him forward have not made serious financial commitment to him enough for him to go for the contest.

It is as good as he is out of the equation and ready to support the party's flagbearer.

I foresee Asiwaju Tinubu reconciling him with Senator Magnus Abe so that APC Rivers state can be united and strong enough to defeat PDP in Rivers State.

All I want and pray for is politics without bitterness and bloodshed of lives.
As a believer,I trust in God that all these sudden political developments will end in praise to almighty God for giving this great nation a brilliant,visionary,patriotic, talented, competent, graceful yet humble, kind- hearted Asiwaju Tinubu Presidency.

On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.
Dear fellow patriotic Nigerian, please support Asiwaju Tinubu.
Thank you.

job


Tinubu won't be president.

Why the waste of effort?

HitRun:
Mr President is a democrat! Mr president is a democrat! Hehehehe!

Consensuses are a key part of any democracy.

So, I don't know what you are on about...

Igbo:
Monday Sit at home stand

Oga, you may sit at home forever if you so wish.

That can no longer stand in Anambra.

This is one way Obiano failed Ndi Anambra.

You don't allow some individuals hijack your state's leadership, by whatever guise.

There is no sense in sitting at home. If IPOB truly feels disgruntled about Kanu's continued incarceration, they should go to Abuja and register their anger...not hurting the economy of Anambra.

Obiano was too weak, they can't try that with a governor like Wike.

If I be Anambra governor, dem neva born who go shutdown my economy for even one minute.

Putindbutt:
I said it few minutes ago..

Mtchewww.

Supreme commander of your households and umunna.

We no sabi am for Anambra.

Soludo is Anambra's governor and he has taken charge.

Person wey wan continue to dey do IPOB, na for him pocket.

Only a coward of a governor will allow some urchins overrun his state in whatever guise.

Watch and see as things unfold.

Frigga13:
Obi is still an Option ..

Hot cake in the North.. same with Jonathan
Everybody don tire for Apc over here in the North
Now the North wan move forward .. but Yoruba people love suffering and smiling ..

This man is terrorizing Yoruba people .. now he wan involve Obi .

Na tribal BP and cardiac arrest be this

Make I excuse them .. I no fit about

Power returns North

Keep deceiving yourself.

Nobody cares about Obi in the North.

Peter Obi can't even win Anambra in a presidential election.

If you think otherwise, ask yourself if Obi is half as 'accepted' as the late Ikemba Nnewi, and if Ikemba was able to win Anambra in any of the elections he took part in?

Who be Jonathan again abeg?
