Tinubu is honestly a rare Politician.

He is compassionate and humane. He mourns with the bereaved.

Not the man in black that rejoices whenever people from other regions dies.

TimeManager:
Like I said on another thread, Tinubu honours humanity first. Some people who are largely ignorant think he honoured Buhari for political reason but he does cherish friendship and a shared bonding. He did same thing to the late Awujale too. He honoured all of them, even in death.

-Kiss the truth!

rotadeco27:
Oga, I could see senses in what you deposited that is why I want to chip in some things you seem not to get right.
The government of the day is not doing badly at all, as at the time they are coming in, the country was collapsing economically, infact they have started borrowing to pay salary, used crude oil to get loan in many years in advance, giving contracts to foreign companies to execute without payment such that the company will control the facilities for many years to get back their funds. All we were living in was "fake life" Do u know how many trillion of naira Emefiele printed just to defend the naira, how many billion of naira went into fuel subsidy per month? The annoying thing is that 95% of the beneficiaries are still these corrupt politicians because they are the ones in charge of all these things. If Tinubu didn't take off the subsidy that moment he did, he would never be able to do it again so forget all that other politicians are saying that they will do it another way. I said it on this platform before that the county has to undergo an economic surgical debridement which will cause some forms of pains, the condition is getting better now and I sincerely hope it is sustainable. I don't care anyone that comes on board in the next election, any attempt to deviate from this current path is to plug the country back to square one. Lagos experience this before it is tag the most progressive and viable state in Nigeria today, some men built American and other developed nations to make them what they are today. Nothing good comes easy!

This one is still stuck in the 1970s political permutations, will I blame him? No! Because he is of the old era and so he lacks the indepth knowledge of the new era politics of today.


Atiku has already been adopted as next Northern political Messiah after Buhari.


Atiku-Obi will defeat Tinubu hands down.

Obi-El Rufai can still work but 2027 Presidential election is not just about winning at the polling units, it's beyond that, after people have voted for you to win, can you defend and protect their votes against an incumbent President's rigging mercenaries until the results are announced? That is where I have issue with Obi being the flag bearer of the coalition ticket.


Peter Obi that I know is a man of peace and obeys rule of law to the core, his Obidient Movement supporters are enlightened youths who just want positive change in Nigeria's leadership and most of us are fully engaged/employed, we don't have time for physical street fight and thug war, Igbos another Peter Obi's support base are too refined, enlightened and republican in nature to engage in street fight or confrontation to protect Peter Obi's electoral victory at the polling units, that was the same reason Obi got rigged out in 2023; nobody to fight and defend his victory, so the incumbent government via INEC then helped Tinubu to carry the day, and Supreme Court upheld the electoral robbery.


If Peter Obi fly the coalition ticket, the same thing will happen because Northerners that have the street OT to defend their preferred candidate's votes won't put body since Peter Obi isn't from the North, the will be neutral expecting Igbos to lead the revolt should Tinubu attempt to rig the results.


But if Atiku flies the coalition ticket with Obi as running mate, it is game over for Bola Tinubu and APC and everybody including Tinubu knows this and that is what they will work so hard to ensure it doesn't happen by using different media publications and newspaper headlines like this to confuse Peter Obi not to deputize Atiku, Obi and Obidient Movement must not allow Tinubu and his political mercenaries to succeed. Swallow your pride, work with Atiku and let's unseat Tinubu first. I trust Atiku more than any other Nigerian politician after Peter Obi, Atiku won't be as horrible as the incumbent President now.

Kewuru:
Lol.
Killed commanders were already replaced.

Israel had to stop the fighting because their humint operatives on the ground could no longer communicate with the HQ, and couldn't receive orders nor deliver intelligence.

The issue is being resolved though with the latest launch of a special communication satellite some days ago I think 🤐🤐

Kewuru:
You think it was coincidence that no other high ranking Iranian official was killed after Iran shut down their country's internet

WizardOfNG:
Lol. The IPOB lot trying hard to Justify their ludicrous and embarrassing Jubrin clone garbage.

The news is not hard to understand for those who don't have memory deficit and remember how Buhari, always detached and cold, allowed members of his cabal to humiliate Aisha.

Women don't forgive such because , at their core, all women want a man who will always defend them.

If Lie-Tasha's husband had not been following her around and showing loyalty, during the Akpabio saga, she would have dumped him.

Aisha remained first Lady for the sake of Nigeria and the image of her husband's Presidency. Soon as Buhari was no longer President she left.

She is posting on Instagram and still asking how her father was tracked 🤔🤔🤔

owobokiri:
Read a lot about his father. Unfortunately, i was never around Nigeria all through his tenure. But I have never read anyone seriously talking bad about the man. That says a lot. I don't know whether this is because Nigerians have been so pulverised by their tyrannical presidents, so often that they have now lowered the bar to the minimum, or that the man was actually good. Which way, one thing that is very self evident is that until Tinubu, Nigerias presidents without any military background have proven to be more humane and people oriented in their policies when juxtaposed with the ex Generals that have messed up this democracy.

columbus007:
There's really this conspiracy theories every where about bubu died long before now, but I just hope it's a lie.

Joeyjones:
That is actually the best cost-effective option.

ZombieTAMER:
Obi can't win elections in New Nigeria

he needs a coalition behind him

he needs to be VP first

Saturnalia:
97% of Car Dealers in Nigeria are fraudsters.

Majority of them buy stolen or flooded or accidented vehicles from overseas (America & Canada) for a fraction of the actual value of the vehicle and then ship to Nigeria to resell.

Again, Majority of them, overinflate the price of the vehicles they sell for their greed & selfishness especially our Nairaland Auto Dealers who are mostly middleman without any carlots to their name.

Never Ever use the prices of vehicles you see on Jiji or Cheki and elsewhere to measure the actual prices of vehicles in Nigeria because they have been grossly overinflated.

When you see a Vehicle on Jiji or Cheki going for 40 Million Naira, know for certain that the actual price of that vehicle is not more than 28 Million Naira and make sure you drive the vehicle to a nearest Custom Office for verification of its its papers. Do not settle for online Customs Verification because these dishonorable Car Dealers have agents at the Customs Office they collude with to swindle unsuspecting customers by giving them wrong information.

I contacted a Car Dealer on Nairaland about Four Months ago to send me more pictures (especially the engine bay picture) and the VIN of a Vehicle he was advertising; he sent me the price of the vehicle within 2 minutes on WhatsApp and sent me the VIN the following day. He never sent me the engine bay picture.

He said he would send somebody to go snap the picture of the VIN where the Vehicle was parked. (Meaning that he didn’t even have access to the vehicle because he wasn’t the owner).

Guess what? On Nairaland, he advertised a 2022 AMG 63 G-Wagon but when I searched the VIN, I discovered the vehicle was a 2020 FLOODED G-Wagon and the price he sent to me was 380 Million Naira.

Very greedy and senseless individuals!

Wow, I love this.


Thank you Mr writer, we cherish honest, detribalized Nigerians like you who have an open mind.



As someone close to Peter Obi and one of his ardent supporter till the day he disappoints, I will respond to some on his behalf.


First, let me correct you, other regimes didn't delay the removal of petrol subsidy, instead it was Bola Tinubu himself that sabotaged and campaigned against the removal of petrol subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan's regime which would have been the best period to remove petrol subsidy when Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala that knows better advocated for it, Tinubu mobilized Nigerians from Ojota to protest against it until Goodluck being a listening and empathetic President listened and canceled the petrol subsidy removal. Now let's move forward haven set the records straight.



If you observe closely, Tinubu's regime copies a lot of Peter Obi's plan, they silently listens to Peter Obi and implement some of Obi's blueprint, I commend Tinubu on that.


Some of such blueprints are:


1.) State Police which Obi have been hammering on. Tinubu quicky dished it out but he still doesn't have the full confidence to fully implement it because he is scared that Governors, especially Northern Governors could use it against him in 2027.


Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

gulfer:
Invested a lot in bank shares years back and I can't lay a hand on any tangible earnings apart from the few cheques of dividends sent to me. Stick trading in Nigeria is not for the lillylivered ones. When most of those banks and companies shares got rebased, the shares became worthless as they shrunk in numbers Many of my friends lost huge amounts , mine was limited because I was not totally sold on the idea of heavily investing in shares

DaCharis2016:
1 million invested into all or 1m invested into each stock?

This thread makes me sad and angry at the same time we have the potentials to be a powerful country but what went wrong ?

Putindbutt:

Show us where your so called servant leader served you foods in Anambra or anywhere before?. Coalition primaries is building up gradually and this scammer don dey fish on people's sentiments 😂

omenka:
I saw one Obidient wrote somewhere that Atiku should take a vice position to Obi. Comment left me wondering what those people smoke in they camp.
