no b only Mandela, na mungo park

Your agulu packaged fraud can only appeal to u cos u want your own as president, he was the same man u all once jointly cursed

The question we all should ask u is what changed?

What made the same man u once cursed suddenly become the messiah?

WizardOfNG:
Correct. Yet the greater point is that we must ask why those who say they wish to lead us do not seem to have capacity for building anything.

Compare politicians today to Awolowo, Azikiwe, Akintola, Buhari and Tinubu etal. It is a joke. Great men and great leaders build great things.

Today we have clowns who leave a Party today, join another tomorrow and have even moved to a third Party by the weekend. How does that display anything other than cynical desperation for power?

Do Nigerians even understand what qualities leaders of men, institutions, nations and processes must have? What we are doing is the equivalent of asking footballers to be Neuro surgeons.

lionshare:
One thing Amaechi has shown consistently: he’s not a pushover or a lily-livered politician who runs from a primary—he did the same in the APC in 2022. I like bold, courageous, and fairly consistent politicians, not those that chicken out with excuses.
God bless him.

CharlotteFlair:
The funky pastors use the church account which is designated an NGO account to launder money for yahoo boys and other illicit businesses who want to avoid the eyes of the authorities into the inflow of money into their account. They later get their own cuts

For there to be a petition at all means there's substantial suspicion and palpable evidence by the insider who wrote the petition in the first place.

But, this is Nigeria where anything is possible, EFCC have done their own magic and declared the accused not guilty.

Yeah, you like a racist who hates you just because he hates some other people that you hate. See your life.
What a logic .
You hate Obama simply because you have been programmed to believe that he's the reason why Jonathan lost. What a complete joke therr people are.
Jonathan lost because Nigerians didn't want him anymore. Obama didn't tell Nigerians who to vote for.
You prefer a racist who sees you as less of a man and who is also a PDF just because you think that he hates Muslims
His best business friends are from Qatar, UAE. You guys need to educate yourself before post in public forums.

ThiefnubuBandit:
We love Donald Trump. We hate Islamic terrorists.

PigTormentor:
Guess who's not in the Epstein files? OBAMA, the greatest American president ever.

OBAMA is respected all over the world.
Trump will never get rhe kind of loce and admiration that people all over the world have for OBAMA.
Trump is the worst American president so far.
I'm glad and proud to say that I voted for OBAMA twice.
I can't wait till November to vote against anyone clown that's even remotely close to this racist.

Thousands of Palestinians return north from southern Gaza along al Rashid Street after the ceasefire came into effect.

But with around 90% of their houses destroyed by Israel, many may find nothing left of the places they once called home.

Ruke1991:
Doctors are very greedy. Always fighting against improved welfare for other professionals working in the hospital that are not doctors

Doctors ordered the govt to stop allowing pharmacists and other health professionals to become consultants in their respective fields and govt obeyed them for fear of strike threat. However, pharmacists, nurses, lab scientist do have become consultants in their own fields in the developed world

Doctors threatened the govt to withdraw a recent improved call allowance approved for other clinical professionals like pharmacy and radiology, the govt withdraw it for fear of the doctors

Doctors opposed increment of salary for nurses, pharmacist, radiology, etc in 2015, 2018 and 2023 by threatening counter strike if govt dare add N1 to their salaries

Entry level medical doctor salary = N400,000
Within 5 years they become consultants and earn at least N500,000. As consultants they only come to work once a week, work between 8am and 2pm and they go back to their private hospital practice. Someone who works 4;days a month will now earn between N500,000 monthly to N1.3m monthly (for senior consultants)

A nurse, pharmacy, lab scientist earns N160,000 at entry point. They will work 16 years before their take home can get to N350,000 which is far less than doctors starting point. They will commit not less than 8 hours daily to the job unlike doctors with just 5 years experience. After 30 years of experience before most non doctors can earn up to N400,000 monthly

Doctors have currently gotten approval from govt for a pool of fund to be made available only for doctors (excluding other hospital workers) who are sick to be flown abroad for treatment at govt expense.

An engineer or a non clinical staff who gets employed in a hospital setting earns N130,000 at the start and can never earn above N400,000 after 35 years of working because of the huge disparities in pay. Doctors fight everyday to wide this disparity by threatening counter strike whenever govt gives audience to the others

The MRTEF these doctors are going on strike for is not salary. Govt doesn't owe them salary. ARD are doctors in training who want to become consultants. MRTEF is school fees, exam fees for the Training, govt also pays them salaries. In some developed nations, if you want to be a consultant, you are responsible for your own training. But here, Govt decides to pay them salary, pay for the course and the fees, pay bicycles allowance, accounterment allowance, etc Yet, doctors continue to be a nuisance by opposing better welfare for non- doctors while threatening strikes monthly for their unending demand.

Mind you, govt has approved renewed hope houses scheme for doctors. They are applying through their union and did not make it open to other hospital workers.

The North has every right to be cautious. Igbos have a history of using protests as a cover for their own agendas. It's always about them, and when the dust settles, they leave others to deal with the chaos. The deception runs deep, and it's time the North stands firm and distances itself from such antics. Enough is enough.

Coolestguy2023:
Keep crying like a mad man. You idiots just want to destroy PBAT government because of your foolish Peter Obi that lost the election.
You people should continue this self destructive action that will make it more difficult for an igbo President in Nigeria

JessicaRabbit:
My dear, in the grand theater of relationships, honesty is the leading lady, and it seems she's been backstage for quite a while.

"Your friend's cousin" is faced with quite the Shakespearean dilemma, a tragic tale of past indiscretions surfacing on the eve of matrimonial bliss. Now, my friend, while people can evolve and change, transparency is key. If a partner hides a history as colorful as a disco ball, it raises questions about the foundation of trust.

Sure, everyone has a past, but keeping it a secret until the eleventh hour is a tad dramatic, don't you think? My advice? Open the curtains, let the truth take a bow, and then decide if the leading lady deserves a standing ovation or a polite exit. After all, a marriage built on trust and mutual understanding is far more likely to weather life's storms than one shrouded in secrecy and uncertainty. 🎭💔
