₦airaland Forum

I am amused you said...his failure is evident on "Nairaland".... Like seriously? The one you choose to believe amongst the bunch of truths that has been published? Obi is from Igbo but not an Igbo project. Listen let me teach you just a little.... I'm in public service, ...if your boss is corrupt, good number of subordinates would have reasons to be but if he's not, firstly; he would block leakages and wouldn't like giving contracts or projects to a notorious staff. He would be interested in seeing the end result of projects he has funded..... And people who are straight forward wouldn't even want to get their hands soiled because they are contented with what they get. We still have good people in Nigeria but if the head is corrupt, what can the body do but we have to train ourselves if we want a better nation. Someone is out here to help get it right..... We can't miss this opportunity.

Which opportunity? Don't even start. We'll be glad we never made the mistake instead. Obi didn't help Anambra get it right? Will he do any better with a complicated entity like Nigeria? No. The Obi I have known, most probably before you ever heard his name, doesn't have the quality to lead this country.
Between the top 4 contestants he's the least competent if you really know all of them and not following what you read on social media.
Like I mentioned, what we need most in this is not election, it's restructuring without which there can be no progress (vote an Angel if you like, the results won't be different).
And no, most Nigerians are just like their leaders. Give them a taste of power and they'll misbehave. A President doesn't have the power to reduce corruption by any bit by been incorruptible himself.
I worked closely with NHIS, ministry of health, Higher institutions of learning for almost 7 years, and I know what I'm saying. Corruption is deep in the public sector.

Atiku will mess up what's left of Nigeria if given another opportunity.

OdefaGirl:
Tremendously helped but you guys refuse to believe. Let's start from that.... that is not his only quality.... Insecurity reduced drastically while he was a governor which gained him an award. Let's just open our eyes this time if not....

You have no idea that no President can stop the stealing that's going on in Nigerian public service. Except we want to lie to ourselves, we need to sit down and talk as a people. That's where to start from and none of these people are planning to do that. It's just I'll do this and that without telling us how they intend to do it.
And no, Obi didn't do well in Anambra to deserve a trial at the Presidency. His failure is even evident on this same Nairaland.
I'll agree if you want us to vote for him because he's Igbo, but don't tell me he's the best of all the contestants.

OdefaGirl:
That stealing spirit wey dey possess una, no possess him. You think if the wastages are cut off....things will remain as difficult as it is?

Wise people are talking to you all, directly and in parables, yet una no wan hear. No wahala

Nigeria's problem goes beyond corruption. Just take notice of that. For instance, how has "not having theifing spirit" of Obi helped Anambra?

Thanksful:
How long have you been married?

I have a 9 year old boy already, expecting another.
It's just that I like baby girls.

And I dey here dey look for at least, ababy girl?

Pained Urch!n have mercy on your heart condition so you don't d!e before your time.

Obi has won already, start getting used to it

The results of the election will reveal who needs cardiac evaluation.

FatherOfJesus:
You have no idea of how prepared we are then

I like this, many cardio wards are going to be receiving patients

Shey Obi will have 99% in SE, but Tinubu won't in SW? You'll realize we also know how to play the card.
Save your tears till after election.

Obi will not get 10% in any SW state, not even if it's only 100k total votes cast.
It's easier for Tinubu to win all the SE states than for Obi to get 25% in the SW.
You can bookmark this post till after election.

Wetin concern Obi with person wey born sextuplets?
Is he supposed to assume responsibility for the family or what?
Last time I checked, this man doesn't give shishi.

ElSudani:
If your candidate have no record of helping anyone why do you think he will help everyone?

Nice quote.

The question now is, who Peter Obi don help or mentored?

1122miki:
This is only Onitsha rally.Not the whole of anambra.Obi is really powering of a truth

For a City that boasts of 3M people, this is poor.

Bravetunde:
His name is ayomide,he is a cowordly yoru badd person and he is a theiff, rapist,liar and kriminal.
I m just happy he has been sentenced to help hush puppy clean toilet all over the world

Mtchwwww. I wasted my time engaging an idiot.

Bravetunde:
Or the rapist sentenced these morning not a Yoruba fake.e Muslimns too.

So, Osakpolor is now a Yoruba name?
You're too daft to be a human.

dfrost:
Remote work things sebi all over the world people dey advocate for remote jobs

SMH.

Maybe to you. He has informed some people already and the person is Tinubu.

Who in their right senses budget to spend double of their income?
I mean, let's put this in personal perspective. Must we cut our coats bigger than our size?

Is that not a bedspread? Maybe it's hook up gone wrong.

Kobonaire234:
Fact is, they are not making enough money.

They need to make far more than that before we get 24 hour power....more like trillions of naira.

Not this one where only 69% of people pay for power, and government is setting your prices

I've not exhausted 5k I subscribed since last September. The load on our transformer is much and they have to do a day on, a day off rotation, even at that, we still don't have stable supply on our designated days (hardly 8 hours any day).
AEDC is waiting for us to buy transformers so they can collect the bills. Is that how business is run?
I work from home, so I spend close to 40k monthly on fueling generator. I had to go buy solar that's capable of powering my devices.
I wouldn't mind if they hike the tariff as long as the supply is constant, but as it is now, the discos are comfortable with what they have. More so, they are comfortable selling darkness in the guise of estimated billing.

Sammy07:
Lol,
Funmilayo ransom kuti says hi

Iyalode of Ibadan says hi

All the over 5 female kings (that I know myself) in Ondo state only (not to talk of Ekiti and others) says hi

Lemme stop there, I SMH for you

Don't mind him.
My Mom was the Regent to the throne after the passing of her Dad.
We Yorubas have one of the best cultures in the world, devoid of sexual and religious discriminations.

[quote author=julaion post=119713418][/quote]I'd advise you to be open to the possibility of the opposite of this result you posted here.

I have a better idea of salvaging our situation.
I'm currently building my manifesto my career for now. When the time comes, all of you saying if we lose Obi, it's finished, will be so ashamed of yourselves.

Rented crowd...
They're there to collect their share of Bullion van...
They don't have PVC...

Gospel according to Obidients.

Do you also notice the road safety people hardly stop commercial vehicles drivers which needs to be truely reaccessed . They are so notorious that they overload and the road safety looks away.

The Us embassy is another one . Millions of delibrate refusals without explanations and their almost #100k has gone like that . People are subjected to psychological truma before , during and after the interview, only their fate to be determined by one angry visa officer who might be at logger heads with his wife before coming to the office to start issuing refusals .

I'm aware NURTW and RTEAN "settle" the Road Safety Officials not to arrest their members, so don't be surprised they get away with traffic offences most times.
I'm not traveling to the US again unless it's for work and the company is assisting with the process. My last experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

I can pay 100k for one of these. The last time I tasted this was about 22 years ago.

lagosrd:
Same applies to driving license. I still don't understand how you got permission to drive and the next thing is that you no longer know how to drive.

That of driver licence is even reasonable a bit, at least people change, and it's OK to reassess your driving skills or mental health again after every 3 years to be sure one can still be trusted to make the right judgement on the road, but for languages? It's very ridiculous.

CheapHomes1:
As far as they are concerned, your ability to speak English only lasts for 2years

Very funny.

SmartPolician:
You don't have to believe - it is what it is.

What you believe or not believe doesn't change a reality.

There are lots of things Nigerians import from China that are much cheaper than those produced in Nigeria.

FYI, there are many factors that drive production: labour cost, government policy, taxes, infrastructure (like power and access road), etc.

Nigeria is like a country without a government.

Importing fuel also has adverse effect on our foreign exchange. It's the sole major source of pressure on our currency.

marcopollo:
You have comprehension problem. He said we should not talk of ethnicity here meaning no one should be talking about voting because someone comes from the same ethnicity with you.

We should not talk about ethnicity and he was saying this?...

...Or how do you justify Atiku when another Northerner is leaving the place? That’s the crux of the matter. The South-West has done, South-South has done, is South-East not part of Nigeria?

The last time I checked, we are still in a democracy, so what's the fuss about where the President comes from?
It's OK for anyone from any tribe to contest of the highest office, but are we going tell every other aspirants from other tribe to step down just so an Igbo man can be President?
What's even so special in Obi? Is he the only Igbo man contesting in this election cycle?
What's fairness got to do with democracy if the person in question fails to get the popular vote?
Abi must it be Obi the Messiah or doom?
Obi will not win this election or any other subsequent one. We don't want a repeat of his failures in Anambra in the country as a whole.

owobokiri:
All of you agbadorian numbskulls trying to foist a senile bonobo on all of us as the next president, should be herded into a snake infested island and your favourite man Tinupoo should be made the president of the island! That is after he must have lost the elections resoundingly. He needs to develop you guys there the same way he developed Lagos. Inbreds!

And you expect any sane individual to still vote for someone you described in the manners you did Obi in the image below?...

ThoughtOfYou:
Una go cry taya. I already said, no sensible Nigerian will vote emi lokan

The last time I checked, you supporting a failed politician who happened to switch side recently in order to be baptized a Saint, would never,in anyway, make you a sensible individual.
