Staphylococcus:
I will repeat, it’s easy to say “REMOVE SUBSIDY”


Let the government test run it for just 3 months and let Nigerians decide. Cos people don’t really know what it means and just clamoring for the removal!

If their are no stated and outlined mitigation plans, Nigerians should not accept.

Over $10b is wasted on subsidy every year, and it will rise to $16b this year.

That is enough to massively fund education or healthcare or build rails, or even increase salaries and give Nigerian something tangible in return.

That is what Peter obi said he will do.

He is going to remove subsidy and divert those monies into the Nigerian people with direct tangible benefits.

And from his antecedence as Governor, you can count on every penny of those monies accounted for and properly utilised.

onegig:
A lot is unrealistic in all those.

There is a difference identifying what needs to be done. We all know that we need roads . Super highways and what not. I can tell you and state we need to build a 15 lane road from Lagos to Onitsha to unlock the business potential of those areas.. That's just rhetoric.

How are you achieving such giving the meagre resources that Nigeria earns?
Going to take loans?
Increasing VAT or road tax rates?
Taxing more people? If yes. How? Leveraging taxes on the rich and luxury goods? By what basis points?
Making the roads tolled roads?

That's giving the how. For a lot of things Peter obi unfortunately says. There are a lot of things not backed by realities or concrete plans.


Agriculture supply chain.. how? Banning imports? Doing import substition? Raising tarrif on imported goods that local substitutes exists for? Asides supplying farmer with loans. What about storage? Is he going to just say "poof" and all those are just going to appear from no where?



Siemens generating 20k MW. How? With what money? Who's going to pay for such? Would tarrifs be increased? Would distribution be completely unbundled and the power sector completely deregulated? How would he treat current debt by discos? Government going to buy back those companies? And resell? Government going to sell its stake to capable 3rd parties? Bitter truth, Siemens would not do shingbai if the current existing structure is in place. Every single company is out to make money so why would they invest billions of $ when government caps tarrifs at N50 even when it is 100% sure that's unprofitable.

There are laws affecting electricity generation. Is he repealing them? Which of them does he agreee with? Or which one goes against his ideals?

We currently have a generating capacity of more than 20K MW. It is not a question of generating. It's a question of cost. Out of about 5 engines at Afam only about 1.5 is working and even those aren't at optimal levels because of gas supply and pricing issues. How is he tackling that? Floating gas prices and allowing generatig company to pass on the full costs to distribution companies? Who in turn would charge the real costs of energy to the end users instead of the current government caps?

Would NLC agree to rate increase? How would he convince Nigerians to pay more for electricity for example N200 per kwh? If they reject? Is he going to direct such power to industrial areas alone and scale things up gradually? Those are answers people expect. Critical discussion on how and his thought processes.

If people are asking those questions they really want to know exactly what he intends to do and how. We are not listening to Atiku or Tinubu because to a large extent we know they aren't offering anything new.

If Peter Obi states he is different, then he should state clearly how he is going to achieve those things differently.

If you have watched the recent PM debate in the UK . You can clearly see clear cut plans by each leading candidate on how they want to fund the budget. One is stating increase in taxes to fund NHS and by how much they expect to increase and what level of funding they intend to push in the short term. The other is saying they can leverage borrowing and should definitely be shoring up their debt balance to spend their way out of a recession.


You can critique those and draw a basis but for Peter Obi. It's been largely just bogus words without anything concrete behind his plans.


They asked him recently how he would handle Subsidy. He couldn't answer and just gave some confusing answer stating that he would first have to observe and that even if they are removing it they would be ploughing such money into health and education. Based on that statement alone i felt he was unserious and doesn't understand the magnitude of work he has to deal with if at this poiint we still can not clearly identify what to do with such crazy trillions we pay yesrly on fuel subsidy.

Subsidy has to go whether fully or partially and we can't afford to replace subsidy with another welfare program. Also how does he mitigate the expected inflation if Subsidy is removed? Nothing.


We all want issues based campaign but even the seemingly bright candidate hasn't even provided any intelligent or clarity just silly China and Egpyt comparisons. So what's the hype really about? Isn't this the same cycle from 2015 of "we would make N1=$1 again"?

Nigeria has a revenue problem.
Very true.

But our problem is spending well.
That is where Peter obi comes in.

He is an expert in proper resource management.

Anambra is not Lagos.
But Peter never owed salaries, pensions or gratuities.

He still built roads, schools, hospitals e.t.c. and still saved.

By the time he trims down the wastages, enough funds will come out.

That is why he wants to scrap subsidy, too.
Over $19b wasted yearly on subsidy.

Peter obi wants to scrap it.
That is his preferred choice.

But unlike other past govts, he is going to do with sincereity and give Nigerians something tangible in return.
That is what he said.

If subsidy goes, Nigerians will get something tangible in return.

Give and take.

Even if Peter obi is all these things you said, which he is not.

The alternatives in tinubu and atiku are far worse.

Oshokhai69:
Fixed

You are probably right too.

80% is conservative.

Some guys dey fucckkk up to 10 different girls in a week.

As one dey go in the evening, another one dey check in for the night.

Naija girls no know pass money or fine face.

Oshokhai69:
What Groovy is doing is what most attractive men will do when dumb women throw themselves at them. Who no like to chop awoof.

It’s not about being empty jor. Why are they not throwing themselves at Pharmsavvy, Hermes, Chizzy, Cyph, Dotun and co. Very vain and naive women. After now them go chop breakfast and start to dey complain say the man na bad market.

Funnily enough na so e be for real world. They should continue running after Groovy and his likes na

You are probably right.

Fine bad boys and high salary earning guys.

Na dem dey finish 80% of ladies for Nigeria.

thatigboman1:
the guy does nothing but girl girl girl. I hope he bounces 2moro

Not a husband or boyfriend material at all.

Very empty.

Na just to cure konji he is good for.

Any girl that takes him as a potential mate does not know what she wants in life.

REDshouse:
u sef dey confirm say him be confirmed Murderer ...

So he is no longer a supporter of ipob?

He is now the man that killed ipob?

Your problem will never be solved.

See dis pink haired clown.

Talking about chew gum relationship as if he dey propound a revolutionary astrophysics theory.

Komu1048:
Oga no b every body dey ask that kind question. I dated my wife for 6 years b4 tying the knot. Na 2wks ago we come talk about having kids

Then what have you people been discussing?

There is no way you can date for 6years with someone you hope to marry and not even talk about having kids.

You absolutely need a second wife, and no one will begrudge you.

The aim of marriage is companionship and procreation.

That phyna is a hypocrite

She was busy advising Danielle while dying of konji.

nduchucks:
Oga, take your wife with you abroad if that is where you reside.

A real man will not expose his wife to avoidable temptations.

As you make your bed, so you shall lie in it. The issue is more of your actions than hers.

I can't blame her to be honest.

Woman must fuccckkk.
Especially one that already knows what it feels like.

If the husband is not around in the same time zone, that opens her to serious temptation.

Even if she does not bang his friend, she would find one gentle, coded and reserved guy in her office or neighbourhood that is very nice to her, and she will fuccckkk the living daylight out of him.

You are based in Europe, but you have a wife here in Nigeria with your close friend that has access to your house.

Na sorry be your name.
Konji is no respecter of persons.

I have a co-worker in my office that is currently banging a married woman whose husband is abroad.

thorpido:
Except this and i have seen such cases.

Infact, that is what smart married whorees do.

Once dem bang any illegal dickkk, they would make sure they dilute it with their husband semen in the same day or at most the next day.

And if they are lucky, it is their husband sperm that will do the job if they got pregnant.

And if it is not their husband that fertilized their egg, the husband will never know.

lexy2014:
See this one. You are already getting emotional. E don de insult for election wey never happen. Is it by force to vote for obi?
So it's true. Once you guys perceive anyone not to support obi, the next thing is insult.

Pls, what's my business with atiku and Tinubu and what has it got to do with the discussion?

Meanwhile, you haven't answered the following questions.

Why can't it be the Koko for me? Is it your Koko? What has who I vote for or not vote for got to do with what I said?

How are what you typed "clear policies" and "realistic plans"? With all you typed, you only ended up corroborating what Ajulo said which I highlighted earlier...

"All he has been saying are what should be done which, is not alien to every Nigerian, but has failed to advance any plan about his solutions to resolving those issues in concrete terms and how he intends to do them"

Your problem na HD.

PrinceMajestic:
Be a worthy friend. Help your friend get his child, have pity on the man spending on another man's child! It's irritating and evil what that slut and her slutty mother did to that innocent man. God will punish such women wherever they're. So pls don't be an accomplice to such evil, it may happen to you one day and someone in the position to help you won't help you

The problem is not even the spending.

I don't think the man will stop spending on the child,nor will I.

The real crime is not knowing the truth under your roof.

thorpido:
I hope you're not just spinning a story to hit front page.

You should stay out of this!

Let your friend find his way....or

Let the lady confess to her husband..... or

Let the husband wake up and let his intuition work.

I don't know how people just accept a pregnancy as their own.My kind of person,the day I had sex with you I will remember and calculate to your EDD.

Can you blame him?

Person wey go hustle since morning, then reach home from work, pour inside his own wife and then go hustle again the next day.

When will he have time to be counting when he last ejaculated in his own wife to be?
There are better things that occupy a man's mind na.

Though personally for me, I will do the calculation in my head just to be sure.

I have seen too much not to.

And besides, the woman can even have sex twice in one day or in close proximity.

Ebonygeek:
Don't fúck up a child's life for nothing. What future do you think she will have with such a sorry excuse for a father?

She's got a good home now and has better chances of living a good and promising life where she is!

So if your biological brother was that husband living in ignorant bliss, you would want him to die without knowing the truth.?

Or you want him to finally realise the truth in old age?

Because that Yahoo boy will come for his kid one day.

Please men, if you notice that your babe is possibly cheating, please don't marry her.

If her eyes no dey house, don't Marry her.

Fidelity is more important than sex and food.
So that you will not count ducklings among your chickens.

Too bad for the husband.

All the years of sweating in school, studying hard,coming out with a good grade and getting a good oil job.

Only to fall into the hands of a wife that have been ravished by a Yahoo boy.

And worse, the ex will still come one-day for a girl he thought was his first child.

What a bad luck in life.

The girl make sense o.

Physically, she is wife-able.

lexy2014:
I haven't made any claims on "realistic". Its you who made the claim. So try again...

Why can't it be the Koko for me? Is it your Koko? What has who I vote for or not vote for got to do with what I said?

How are what you typed "clear policies" and "realistic plans"? With all you typed, you only ended up corroborating what Ajulo said which I highlighted earlier...

"All he has been saying are what should be done which, is not alien to every Nigerian, but has failed to advance any plan about his solutions to resolving those issues in concrete terms and how he intends to do them"

You are grasping at straws.

It's okay to want to vote for Tinubu or atiku.

It's foolish, but it is your right.

You don't need to bore us with fake arguments against Peter obi.

Please, tell me.

What is not realistic about encouraging the hardworking farmers in the middle belt to grow coffee, cotton and flowers as long as they get their proper pay?

What is unrealistic about encouraging the industrialists in the north to build more Agro processing zones in Kano and kaduna with established raw materials supply from the agro zones in the middle belt.?

What is unrealistic about a mere 20,000MW from Siemens in 4yrs?

What is unrealistic about increasing and modernizing the onne port, and connect it to aba through a major highway?

I am still looking for what is unrealistic here.

Peter obi workrate is like ngolo Kante.

And Lord knows, that is the kind of energy required to begin to confront Nigeria's many challenges.

LogicnReason:
Mr abi Dr kayode, but that will be campaigning na. Campaign means telling people how you will solve the problem. But inec has not declared commencement of campaign, so why is he restless?

Peter Obi is doing the right thing now, which is telling people why he is running. You run for office when you see something that is not right and you have to start by telling us what that thing is.

Abeg everyone pls calm down. When Nigeria fails everyone feels the heat, not just a select few.

He has even provided a lot of the policy frameworks he intends to do on his many interviews on arise TV.

Rufai and tundun have over-grilled him.

Mr kayode has either not watched them well or his objectivity has been blinded by money or ethnic sentiments.

lexy2014:
This is the Koko...

“.

That cannot be the Koko for you because Peter obi has provided the most realistic plan, unless you would not be voting for anybody.

Coffee, cocoa and flower plantations in Taraba, benue and Plateau zones, agro-processing zones in Kano and kaduna to serve those plantations in the middle belt, super seaport in portharcourt to cater for aba industrial zone as a single commercial belt, Lagos doing what it does as a major economic state and acting as the catalsyst for South West industrial and agro revival as a single economic zone.

In electricity, he talks about increasing power generation to atleast 20,000 MW in 3-4 years through Siemens, just like they did in Egypt.
According to him, the only problem that Siemens has right now in Nigeria is lack of proper govt will.

Siemens started work in Egypt in just 45days of govt approval, unlike the nonsense we are doing in Nigeria.

On security, he advocates local govt security outfits under the control of governors like he did in anambra when he was Governor.

These are clear policies that only need govt will and policy formulation

They are not complex rocket science but they will be effective.

This is far better than the 74 pages of nonsense that atiku paid people to write for him and that agbado remix from Tinubu.

What is funny about all these fake analysts is that peter obi is not running against the combo of Lee kuan yew and Al mukthar.

He is running against tinubu and atiku.

Both of them are of vastly inferior quality to Peter obi in every possible.
Even in something as basic as integrity.

So if Peter obi is not ready, who is ready?

Did anybody bother to ask that clown?

Who among the three top contenders have provided a proper pathway for Nigeria's devt than Peter obi?

These are paid voices trying to confuse.

Nigerians don't listen to them.

I'm not surprised at all.

This is the mentality of the north.

And it is people like Tinubu and his greed that gave them the opportunity to do that.

Rally around an eastern candidate and let us all win, the guy said no it is his turn.

How is it your turn?

Anyway, if Peter obi does not win, that means atiku has won.

omenka:
But why is it such a big deal when the people of the East have been saying just the same using different words?

They've threatened to deal with anyone who dares to campaign for anyone else besides their son Obi. In this case on the other hand, the tweet was rather an emotional appeal, though sectarian, whereas Easterners threaten you flat out.

The only people who seem no be practicing real democracy on this country are the Middle Belt, South West, and South South.

You are talking nonsense.

Nobody in the east have forced anybody to vote for Peter obi.

It's tinubu and his supporters that want people to vote for emi lokan by force.

I know you hate igbos, but learn to shut up when you need to.

Is that not a good thing?

What do you think buhari has been trying to achieve? Is it not to reduce divisions and seccesionism.

Nigeria need a leader that can unify the country. If that is peter obi, then even more reason to vote him.

We don't want a leader that will increase division.

chemicool:
If you marry a street woman, she either kills you or you kill her.

Even if she is a canterkerous woman of the worst kind or you caught her on top another man's gbola, send her parking if you can't cope anymore.

Atleast her people will see their daughter alive.

No man has the right to lay hands on someone's daughter.

Why would you beat a full grown woman to the point of death?
Why?

Are you a beast? Are you the devil?
It is unforgivable.

If I see beat marks on any of my sisters, I would cut your balls and get them to you to eat.

Peter obi is at Rccg convention.

They just announced him.

That guy is moving very strategically.
