Why Obj and Jona no do am?.anybody can do it

Jonathan completed half of the total span under one year.

davidtemi:
so why are u people praising tinubu for Lagos till today?

It is on record that tinubu was the worst governor to have govern Lagos since 1999.

All what you see were done by fashola/ambode.

uthlaw:
anyone can do it,but does that rule for 16yrs,never did it!

It took Jonathan just one year to reach half of the total span of the reconstructed road before he left office but buhari is taking 8 years to complete other half yet you guys praise ineptitude.

Michelle70:
Lagos state enjoys free water system which other states do not.

Also household water comes at a price, are Nigerians who bypass electricity ready to pay for water when they could dig their boreholes

Stop this outright lies.

Water rate had always be charged since I was born.
And tinubu saw the dearth of water corporation. As a young boy, after football we drink directly from tap water but now you dare not.

Did we progress or retrogress?

Hussein035:
If TINUBU can make Lagos what it is and he demand to be paid some percentage for his job let him have it in peace, That's how you people destroyed Gadaffi and we all know the result.

Pls calculate TINUBU achievement and minus it from what he is getting back then let us know if your father is TINUBU you will not demand he gets more for all him efforts


IPOB Hypocrisy

I keep hearing achievements achievements and no one can say exactly what he achieved.

Out of all that govern Lagos till date, since 1999 , he is the worst .

Or can you tell me the governor he outperformed since he left office?

Staphylococcus:
Like I said earlier, it’s an insult to place both side by side. The margin will be exponential.

All you said makes no real sense.

I was born and bred in Lagos and nothing you can say to convince me about his performance. His administration was like yesterday to me.

Is it the 4 schools he rehabilitated in all of Lagos state as a governor or what do you want to tell me he did ?

I am still waiting for the challenge o.

Staphylococcus:
No doubts!

In sentences where “track-records”, “achievements” and “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu” are mentioned, it’s an insult to include Atiku and Peter in same sentence.


Atiku amd Peter can never, and will never match the competence, feets and achievement of His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

It’s open to all that Atiku was a Vice President for 8 years and same with Peter, but little could the duo achieve, and why they are struggling hard for relevance.

Aspiring presidential candidates who have little to no relevance in their states political atmosphere.


I will enjoin Atiku and Peter to form a partnership business and invest in oil palm plantation that would employ thousands of Anambra and Adamawa youths. Cos wasting money, resource and logistics in the forthcoming election will result to nothing but LANDSLIDE DEFEAT!


His Excellence, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is light years ahead of both politically.

Why hasn’t anyone bold enough to provide side by side achievement of tinubu and obi?

Sector by sector and see who did better.

I sincerely sympathise with you , and I pray you get something soon and better.

Nigeria youth, you can see how bad governance can’t affect our even most secured jobs and let alone those who don’t have and hope to get a job.

When the presidential aspirants were busy sharing dollars to delegates and many in this forum were praising them without knowing damage this politicians are doing to the masses. Just so you know, the dollar shared would have helped businesses who depend on foreign exchange to buy inputs to keep machinery working and keeping jobs here.

Another point to remember is that during that presidential primaries many international students could not get needed dollars or pounds to pay their school fees through banks were unable due to scarcity.

Any presidential candidate who has been involved in this dollar scarcity can never do anything to fix the country because to them their interest come first not the country.


Our action in the coming elections will determine direction of the country.

You guys are full of lies on obi!

He said average production per day.

And his statement was corroborated by Thisday newspaper of 7th of August.

You guys should destroy whatever is left of Nigeria by supporting those who want to maintain the status quo.

What many of you don’t know is that Obasanjo administration made Lagos successful. And no one can argue that.

abokikhalifa:
Lets us check their past and present records.

Tinubu has done more development and success than peter obi.

What do you have to say ?

Can you provide fact?

We can try by checking various key metrics to determine who did better.

From infrastructure development, education, agriculture etc.

Mind you, we also we look at both state revenue profile, industrial output , poverty index and population too in relation to revenue.

The fact checker too is not correct.

Obi claim was that Nigeria has met the criteria to be considered as a fail state.
There is a sharp difference from what the fact checker claimed he said.

tomtomastom4:
I created this thread in response to the post on front page about ladies that date men who earn less than 100k. Below is the link.

https://www.nairaland.com/7292274/ladies-relationship-men-earns-100k

Of a truth, its not easy to manage such amount, but when one is already in such situation, you just have to manage and improvise.
Now like the OP of the above thread requested, here is the break down of how we make our expenses.

To start with, I was earning about 130k previously before we got married by March this year, but I changed job and the pay of the new job is 95k. STarted the new job around Feb this year, even though there was a loan I was paying off.. Need I add that my wife was working in a firm where shes paid 45K, but two months after our married, she quit the job due to pregnancy stress. Am sure ladies will understand.

This is our break down.
Monthly salary 95k
I remove 40k first from the salary and transfer it to 3 different acct.
The first acct receives 20k. This acct is not touchable except on extreme emergency. Its our main savings acct.
The second acct gets 10k and its for our rent, also non touchable. Rent is 150k per year. Before u say my rent is high compared to my salary, I like my privacy very well. and the cost of rent isnt friendly in my state.
The third acct also gets 10k. This one is for semi savings. This acct is touchable when cash at hand have been exhausted before the next month salary.

From the remaining 50k,
I send 10k to my family acct. I and my brothers do contribute 10k+ every month and its been used to run expenses WRT our parents and last born.
I gv my wife 10k for her monthly up keep. Its small. But its the sacrifice we all have to make for the good of the family.
I hold 10k myself for logistics and transport. I must confess, is not enough. But One have to strive. My wrk place isnt far. SO transport is N100 to and fro, thats approximately 3k per month. The remaining money i use it for other logistics. 4k out of this money goes for gas wch last for abt 2 weeks. And when we want to refill and there is no other money left, we fall back to the 3rd acct.
The remaining 20k is strictly for food ( On this food issue is where I "duff my hart" cos shes really managing things well and trying.
Sometimes, I really feel for her, cos this her pregnancy makes her to crave for things that is not on our food menu, but then when the money is not there, she just surpress the cravings. At times I feel bad.

The remaining 5k, for now is used to pay back a tailor who sewed multiple pregnancy gowns for my wife.

Its good to add that any small money I make like 1k or 2k on side hustle, I directly buy mudu of rice, beans or flour for swallow.

Its not easy at all. But there are families with kids leaving below that.

My wife is abt 5mnths pregnant, we plan to divert the 20k savings to buying baby things in preparation for child birth.


The truth is that the economic situation in this country is bad and so cost of leaving is very high. But then one have to survive.
But then in Nigeria now, how many percentage of the population earn above 100k. In fact how many jobs out there pays such as amount.

The only advice I have for ladies is that if you are not working and you parent family is the type need financial help from your husband after marriage, or you are the type of lady that is high class and wont settle for less or manage with your man. Plz kindly wait and take your time to look for a man that is RICH or financially capable of taken care of you and maybe your family. Please dont hide under the cover of you want to marry quick and then accept a struggling man only to start putting pressure on his head. Plz wait and marry a rich man.

Most responsible men wont really appreciate it if you are always demanding for things you knw fully well that he can not afford.


It is also good to note that no condition is permanent, things will definitely get better. A better job might come or my wife might get a job after her maternity which will increase our income.

The bottom line is, as a couple, but of you will have to work things out to improve your finances.

This is exactly the type of financial prudence Nigeria needs to adopt quickly else we hit the bottom.

I must say that you are a very good financial manager that will do well in managing public fund.

thebosstrevor1:
Peter obi is a successful banker because he was chairman of fidelity.

What does been a chairman of a bank has to do with been a banker.

Any dick and harry with money can become the chairman of a bank.

Femi odetola, is a majority shareholder in firstbank does that mean he is a successful banker.

If you have money, you can start by opening a llc in a tax haven and then use that to start buying up large amount of shares in any Nigerian banks before 5 years, you become majority shareholder of the bank and can become the bank chairman.

If peter obi was a so called successful banker,why didn't he apply for the post of Managing director of fidelity bank, i am 100% sure that he is not qualified for that position.

Let me give you a simple advice that will benefit you and your immediate environment.

Take the amount of time you spend on defending ineptitude day and night on learning tech on YouTube. I bet you, before next general election, you will be one of the most sought after IT guru.

Thank you.

Yes, because we need a prosperous economy that works for everyone, led by the private sector with an educated pool of workers. PDP has done that much better than the APC, and Atiku has a much better track record than Tinubu and Obi as well as Kwakwanso on these issues.

I will not support PDP because the are not interested in the prosperity of Nigerians. Before you achieve all you posted , you require security and unity amongst different ethnic nations making up Nigeria. How do you convince me after the north holding power for 8 years yet you want power to return to the north? Do you know the meaning of inclusion and consequences of marginalisation? Do you think power returning to north is fair to the south? I have intentionally refrain from attacking the flag bearer as you did in person of Peter obi rather let deal with facts.

anonimi:
Please what is genuine about Peter Obi, who failed to do in Anambra for eight years of high oil prices and federal allocation, what Jakande did in Lagos in only four years?
Thiefnuibu used lies and propaganda to make Bubu president in 2015. Why should we allow Peter Obi use the same format to scam us

Without speaking of achievement amongst the leading candidate, are you insinuating we vote for PDP?

Dilemma for the south!

If you vote in Atiku, it will empower the north to believe that they own Nigeria and rotation does not matter.

If you vote a Tinubu, it will empower the Muslims to think the Christian does not matter.

If you vote Peter obi, it will open a new chapter in our national Lives. First ,
-it will make more genuine people to join politics especially the youth.
- it will improve our national cohesion and unify the country the more.
- it will help eradicate the issues of marginalisation
- It will help retire old thieves and send a clear message that it no longer business as usual

I have argued that it was during obj regime that made Lagos prosperous. Not tinubu!

All this people pushing this tinubu agenda will join travel section to learn japa after one year of his administration.They don’t care to drag everyone into impending doom .

Headachetoigboh:
Atleast he is in America while u dey Ogbomosho wey nepa no dey

The person you quoted also lives in America.

Straight up! No need of sugar coating it.

God abeg o no let my daughter return say she need tattoos ooo or begin to drink nor smoke.

Social vices for obodo oyibo no be here ooo.

Nigeria vs Italy

USA 94

ArewaNorth:
If u really want to derail then just go ahead and spit the shit out of you. Have u ever known local content executive order before?
Have we ever patronised local product like now before?
Whatever the case may be, jobs have always been scarce since 1960 but u need to expnatiate if the previous lowest patronage of our local products gave more jobs or the current ups....
Concerning govt, banditry or whatever that one isn't my case, get someone to discuss with

How is buying Toyota helping Nigeria economy in terms of job creation or keeping jobs ? Young man think think.

ArewaNorth:
Never in the history of our return to democracy has govt patronise local car manufacturer like In no son motors. NPF, NA, FRSC among others have bunch of them. Yesterday in Abuja i was marvelled at the sight of more than 15 In no son motors in a single convoy of NPF.
Remember, quality matters in most cases.

Young man stop defending nonsense. How is buying Toyota is going to help Nigeria economy that is dying?
Please stop it. People lack jobs due to policy of government yet you defend them. All those who lack job that takes to kidnapping and banditry hope you don’t blame them

ArewaNorth:
Most foreign donations to Africa aren't funded by Govt but group of people who see the misery in us and fund the programme.
In which way can US donation help the same US drug manufacturing in a tremendous way because Nigeria contribute little or nothing in the purchase of the drugs?

Untrue! Many substantial donations are from foreign government to advance their interest but do it by patronising their local businesses. In our case, we have company manufacturing and some assembly cars but our government chose to strengthen Japanese economy instead of ours. Yet the government doesn’t know how to create jobs

bigpicture001:
This reply is political ND trying to digress into recent happening... But the question is about unemployment which we all cry about so much

At least I captured the essence.

How can you dash 1.4billion to a foreign government ? Is it how oyibo do their own donations?
Have you seen German government wanting to donate cars to Nigeria and decide to donate Toyota?
Sebi we get stupid people managing us and yet they don’t know how to create jobs or keep jobs back here.

ArewaNorth:
Do u think the whites donation in security, health; infant mortality, HIV AIDS, Diabetes among other fatal disease is born out of foolishness?
Go and check the billions of dollars Nigeria spent on Liberia, Sudan, Sierra Leone, and other peace keeping missions. Go and check the billions of dollars spent on campaign for the liberation of South Africa under Abacha. Go and see the million dollars Nigeria spent on Librarian recent election. Go and check the annual spendings of Nigeria on African Nations for security, aide and other foreign missions.
The ethno-religious fanaticism in some Nigerians is out of this world, this outrage is just because Niger Republic is made up of peppy who look like Northerners or have one affiliation or the other with North

Common young man stop behaving like this .
It is increasingly frustrating to teach you guys simple things. That is why you are defending
this nonsense.

Worst of all you don’t even understand what I wrote.
The HIV/AIDS you cited as reference, whose interest is the USA protecting ?
Who manufacture the drugs ?
Which economy benefits from the donation the most?

bigpicture001:
From how things are in the country, everyone will agree that unemployment is our major concern as a country....

Granted somehow, u become the president of Nigeria, how exactly will you solve the issue

NB. Do not say the world enabling environment without expantiating on what it means...

Again do not say, "they should".. cuz u are now the president.... Remember u need to creat at least 10 million jobs in 8 years..

Let's take the center stage... Keep it coming guyz!

If I am the president, I won’t have wasted money in buying cars for Niger republic.But let say I am stupid president and I must buys cars for Niger republic, I would have bought Nigeria made cars of the value used in buying Toyota.

1.4billion will help over 30 people keep there jobs

buhariguy:
you must be a kid.
Ask obasanjo

I am over 23 at tinubu first tenure and I believed that you are in primary school during his reign.
No need of engaging you.

buhariguy:
even without federal allocation

Can you show proof that he was denied federal allocation?
