Peter Obi this, Peter Obi that. The truth is that Reno knows what is onboard. He knows Peter Obi is the MAJOR contender to beat, the reason he has run amock. He has seen that Peter Obi's supporters are passionate about a course they believe in genuinely hence he is trying hard to apply emotional blackmail in order to wane the numerical strength of the man's support base. He actually wants to see if the supporters will chicken out being that they are called a bad name. These are all political whims. Peter Obi has got a very strong support base that is unprecedented and "the establishment" becomes very ruffled and they have deployed reverse psychology to surreptitiously achieve their ill whims!

Every time, Peter Obi supporters this, Peter Obi supporters that. It is ripe mangoes that children throw stones at. The truth is that people have seen that Peter Obi supporters are passionate about a course they believe in genuinely. Hence, the other people who are surprised about how popular this PO movement has gone are trying hard to apply emotional blackmail in order to wane the numerical strength of the man's support base. They actually want to see if the supporters will chicken out being that they are called a bad name. These are all political whims and caprices.

@OP, I think you are obsessed with Peter Obi. A quick run down on your posts (attached below) show that all your topics are just on Peter Obi and derogatory at that. In saner clines or in unbiased moderated forums, your posts would have been blocked and you be sanctioned. Alas, not here!. Hence, you are free to continue your surreptitious behaviour.

Peter Obi is a very clever thief, he stole 250million from anambra state and use his aide to loot the money to lagos. When the aide was caught, Peter Obi lied that he sent the aide to use the money to go and purchase car through cash. This man did not inform the house of assembly before, no notice given to anyone that he was trying to purchase cars with cash but he just came to use that as a defense when he was caught.

He is a kleptomaniac who lies for a living. Only God knows how many of such money he stole from anambra through this dubious way when he was governor.

That is why I said Obi Panodra is the most dangerous thief and a clever one at that.

“Desperation and over-ambition. We just want power at all costs and we don’t care what others think or do.

“We can win the elections without you, especially by other means other than by open ballot,” he said.

Adegboruwa noted that APC’s action was a cruel affirmation of supposed superiority complex.

“It is an indication of a hidden agenda. The spirit of Hope 93 died with MKO and those who betrayed him and his mandate.

“May Boko Haram, terrorists and insurgents, their sponsors and sympathizers not win the 2023 elections,” he noted.

A wealthy businessman with a reputation for being frugal, Peter Obi has emerged as a powerful force ahead of Nigeria's presidential election next February, energising voters with messages of prudence and accountability that are amplified by an army of social media users.
In a country that seems to always be on the lookout for a messiah to solve its myriad problems, young social media-savvy supporters have elevated Mr Obi to sainthood and are backing his largely unknown Labour Party against two septuagenarian political heavyweights.
His name is often trending on social media on the back of numerous conversations sparked by his supporters, instantly recognisable from their display picture of his image or the white, red and green logo of his party.
These are mostly urban under-30s who refer to themselves as the "Coconut-head generation", because they are strong-willed, independent-minded and contemptuous of older politicians who, they say, have done little for them.
Many of them, like Dayo Ekundayo from the eastern city of Owerri, were involved in the EndSars protests that forced the disbandment of a notorious police department two years ago and also morphed into calls for better government.
Now, they are deploying the same strategies that mobilized hundreds of thousands of young Nigerians and raised millions of naira within weeks for the 60-year-old who they consider an alternative to the two parties that have dominated politics since the end of military rule in 1999.
"Which Nigerian politician has ever held office and has his integrity intact? I do not see any other logical option for young people in Nigeria," said Mr Ekundayo.
He has already been involved in a march for Mr Obi, and is providing logistics and mobilising students for the campaign as he did during the EndSars protests.
But opponents say Mr Obi is a political impostor, one of many who spring up at election time with delusions of being a third force that will wrestle power from the traditional parties.
Many supporters of the main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) and neutral observers agree he is head and shoulders above the other candidates, but say he lacks the nationwide popularity to win the election and have warned his supporters that they risk wasting their votes.
They believe he is a distraction from the common goal of removing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from office, and could split the opposition vote.
A devout Catholic from eastern Nigeria, they point to his lack of popularity in the Muslim-dominated north, whose votes are considered critical in winning presidential elections.
And his critics question whether he truly represents a break from the corruption he routinely lambasts, pointing out that his name popped up in the leaked Pandora Papers which exposed the hidden wealth of the rich and powerful in 2021.
While he was not accused of stealing money, he failed to declare offshore accounts and assets held by family members, citing ignorance.
He was also accused of investing state funds, as governor, into a company he had dealings with. He denied any wrongdoing and points out that the value of the investment has since grown.
Mr Obi repeatedly says he is not desperate to be president, which is ironic for a man who has changed parties four times since 2002.
He dumped the PDP just days before its presidential primary in June and the party went on to choose the 75-year-old former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential flagbearer.
Critics say he pulled out of the contest because he knew his chances of winning were slim but he cited wrangling within the PDP, where he was a vice-presidential candidate in 2019, for deciding to cross over to the Labour Party.
His supporters are also convinced that he was pushed out of the PDP because he refused to bribe delegates at the party primary and have coined the phrase: "We don't give shishi (money)" as a buzzword for his famed frugality and his prudence in managing government funds in a country with a history of wasteful expenditure by public officers.
They regard him as an unconventional politician prepared to take on the APC and PDP behemoths seen as different sides of the same coin, who they accuse of dipping their fingers into the public purse.
There is also a religious and ethnic twist to his candidacy.
In a country where roughly half the population is Christian, his supporters hope that this will bolster his chances of winning, as after eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari they would not want another Muslim - the APC's Bola Tinubu, 70, or the PDP's Mr Abubakar - to take office.
The OBIdients
Some also support Mr Obi because of his ethnic background. Igbos make up the country's third largest ethnic group, but Nigeria has had only one Igbo leader, largely ceremonial, since it freed itself from British colonial rule in 1960.
Many Igbos accuse successive Nigerian governments of marginalising them and hope that Mr Obi will rise to power so that the south-east, where most of them live, would see greater development and so counter the pull of secession groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob).
A philosophy graduate, he worked in his family's retail businesses before going on to make his own money, importing everything from salad cream to beauty products, and baked beans to champagne, while also owning a brewery and holding major shares in three commercial banks.
You can normally recognise a Nigerian billionaire from a mile off but Mr Obi is thrifty and wears it as a mark of pride.
He is quick to point out that he owns just two pairs of black shoes from midmarket British chain Marks and Spencer, prefers a $200 suit from Stein Mart to a $4,000 Tom Ford suit, and always insists on carrying his own luggage, rather than paying someone else to do it for him.
Even his children are not spared his frugality. His 30-year-old son was denied a car, he said, while his other child is a happy primary school teacher - a rarity in a country where a politician's name often opens doors to more lucrative jobs.
Despite the financial controversy, his tenure as governor of Anambra state has become a reference point for his presidential campaign.
His supporters point out that he invested heavily in education and paid salaries on time - the simple things that most Nigerian state governors tend to neglect.
He also left huge savings in state coffers at the end of his two four-year tenures, another rarity.
But Frances Ogbonnaya, a university student in Anambra state when Mr Obi was governor, is surprised by the praises being sung in his name, describing his tenure as unremarkable.
"Who saves money in the face of hunger? Who saves money in the face of a lack of facilities?" she asked rhetorically.
But it is his reputation for frugality and sound management that has attracted a horde of supporters, known as OBIdients.
Some have been accused of cyberbullying and labelling anyone who does not vote for him in next year's election an enemy of the state.
He responded with a tweet calling on his supporters to "imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship", but it has done little to calm them down.
They are quick to show anyone who tells them that elections aren't won on Twitter, the crowds at offices of Nigeria's electoral body where they have been flooding to register as first-time voters.
But this is not the same as actually turning out to vote on election day.
With months to the election, there is no denying the momentum building behind Mr Obi but cynics also point to the lack of a nationwide party structure to support the view that, while possible, an Obi presidency remains highly improbable.
He retorts that his structure is "the 100 million Nigerians that live in poverty [and] the 35 million Nigerians who don't know where their next meal will come from".
If half of those turn out to vote him on election day, it might very well be all that he needs.

rottennaija:
My story is similar. I contacted covid19 in the first wave around April. I suffered almost everything someone would suffer, except for dying. I had throat problems, shortness of breath, 3 times I had sudden inability to breath, blood cloth.

I later developed long covid syndrome (what they call long haul or long covid). I suffered from it till this year. It's been a horrible journey with lost of money spent. I still have reduced exercise ability and post exertion malaise.

I had wanted to take the vaccine but wasn't sure of how it would impact my long haul syndrome. Some people experience relief, other had worse situations after the vaccine. I was in a dilemma.

So when I contact covid19 again this August and from all my experiences, it seems to correct a greater part of my long haul syndrome, i decided it was time for the vaccine and was fortunate it was moderna they offered and I became a Guinea pig.

Please, does one has choice of vaccine to take? Or are the various types distributed among states?.
How can one know vaccination centres offering which type of vaccine?. Regards.

MALIGNANTGuest:
Not only EUROPE, Bro.
But, in every nation that has sensible creatures.
The United States and Canada same.
Since I started living in the US, I haven't horned more than 6 times.
In Fact, my first 5 attempts took place when I newly arrived the US..... Few months on arriving the US.
That was when I realized I was the only mad humans among sensible beings.

We really need a lot of deep ROOTED CHANGE in Nigeria, the genuine change starts with you.

Bro, that's good to know. You better do like the Romans at Rome!

macrodata:
my cousin came to Nigeria for the first time, from the airport trip going home she started asking what's happening on the high way? I said it was normal traffic. She said she was scared something terrible was going in because of the horns, in Norway people only horn in emergency situations.

That's how it is in sane environment.
From Norway to Sweden to Belgium (even the UK partially) things are very orderly so someone accustomed with the lifestyle over there may find what's happening every other place not sane as queer.

Aguogba:
6 months is too small naa, though I understand you don't wanna exaggerate it.

You are right, bro.

Caseless:
you don't honk horn to alert pedestrians or road users unaware of their environment?

You hardly see such. There is pedestrian way as well as bicycle route. Everything is orderly. Simply put, the environment is SANE!!

Very correct!. In Europe, one can stay for 6 months without hearing the bleep of a vehicle's horn. The only horn/noise one will hear is siren from ambulances on medical evacuation.

@Mrskillz1, I need to communicate with you. You may wish to drop your email. God will heal your brothers. Amen.

Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

Your assertion is very apt. Both the MD and the DFA should have been suspended since the issue at stake is financial impropriety. Intact, all Executive Management staff would have been dropped for an unbiased investigation to be carried out. Anyway, I forgot that; "in brotherhood we stand.

truthfulparrot:
It is gross foolishness to sack the MD for financial recklessness and then replaced her with the Director of finance. Who are those advising PMB?

Can the Airforce not attend to this anomaly by aerial bombardment. Just once and for all. Everytime, "we are fighting boko haram terrorists", why not crush them as a unit when they gather like this. God will one day stop this nonsense in this country.

That's when dredging comes into play.

NOC1:
what is the deepness and flow rate?

A river can be wide but not deep to carry ship.

@lailo, Imagine what I'm hearing you write; "I introduced 21 pillars". Says who? Is that how they/you introduce them? Who does that? Who tells you that?
So no structural drawings vis-a-viz structural calculations / load analysis?. Imagine, you just transformed a bungalow to a semi-detached storey building?. And you are talking with carpenters and iron benders?. They tell you this, they tell you that. Wow. Guy, you get mind, a swear? They discuss about internal (secret) beam with you. What do they know about the suitability/'desirability' (of the introduction) of an internal beam.
Sorry, did you just pick your money from the dust bin?
Na so you wan waste your sweat?. Young man, suspend that building construction and get hold of a practicing Civil Engineer (in the built environment) to continue going forward. I don't want to hear, no beam here or there. Structural elements of slab, beams and columns are designed for adequate and effective load distribution and strategically positioned to meet this objective. Mind you, "pillars are not meant to carry slab (decken) directly" as you alleged. The rightful order is load transmission from slab to beam to column and then to the foundation.
Please, don't use ignorance and shrewdness to contribute to the increasing number of collapsed buildings in Nigeria. You will be jailed as you are involved directly in the construction and loose your landed property also. Be guided and hook up a professional asap. You are free to contact me further.

Please, I want to buy LG V20 phone (4gb RAM / 64 gb ROM, dual sim / H990 Variant). Does any one have this for sale? Just drop your link if you have, I will contact you.

The factory work though tedious now will make you an independent person later on. The money-agent biz will make you still dependent on your brother. Along the line, your brother and you may have some business-induced misunderstanding or quarrels which will put you in a precarious situation. Thus, as a graduate, you are laying the foundation of your career in the factory job. Note that the odds are even for you viz: you are among the foundation personnel of the company; you know the chairman of the company and you have credentials for career progression. Patience and perseverance will be your watch words for now. Tarry a while there and you will enjoy in the future. If you don't commit any malfeasance or put up an untoward attitude to your work, believe me you that you are a GM in the making in that company. As the saying goes, 'if death does not kill a pupil, s/he will grow up to be headmaster'.

I will give you the past questions and high way code free of charge. people like you are the reason Nigeria is at cross road.

Very belated action. Upon all his activism, Shehu Sani isn't proactive.
Anyway, he showed sign of a traitor at some point; hence he is ripping the gain for being one.

Why is government of the day shielding Ganduje's dollarneering from public purview? Too bad!

He is very safe. If he skipped NYSC, then that's the reason he didn't put his higher education status in filling the INEC form. In so far as the constitution allows senior school certificate holder eligible for governorship post, no qualms.
Problem arises when one certifies having a degree but with no NYSC discharge certificate to back it up.

All these complaints are no big deals. Just follow autologic advice!

Alright, not a big issue. Your mechanic didn't 'lock' the steering base before working. That's the reason the 'horn-airbag switch' got cut.
Suitably, it is an auto electrician that will replace it. He will just remove the switch which is at the base of the steering (underneath the plastic cover) then he buys another and fixes. Usually, it's not that expensive. The price depends on your car model but it's somewhat around/below #5k.

alezzy13:
Hi I have a similar issue. But in my case the steering wheel was worked on in order to realign the wheels. Since the light keeps flashing. Can it be repaired esp since the bag was not deployed?
