This won't stop me from voting Peter Obi for Anambra with my PVC

APGA no go see shishi from me
Soludo has messed up APGA

President: Peter Obi
Senate: ypp
Federal house: APC

sinero:
You are calling another person a fool when you are actually the ignoramus. If other governors like tinubu then didn't set the blue print for infrastructural development and continuity in lagos, would people be trooping into lagos enmasse to seek opportunities?
A father saving money when he is yet to feed his children and pay their school fees is a useless father.

You are talking complete bunkum

Which infrastructure did Tinubu do. Is it the railway that has been going on for over 2 decades

With terribly inflated cost?

A railway that would cost maximum 200million dollars in other countries and built in short time Lagos State government is claiming the railway to have cost over 1.5 billion dollars
And still not delivered in time

I have traveled to countries where good infrastructures were done with decent money as far back as 2008, not inflated ones like the eye sore in Lagos.

Nigerians are deceived because many don't travel around the world to see what other nations are enjoying in infrastructure that this robbers called politicians in Nigeria are deceiving the people

Napata77:
I don't understand this Obi's philosophy of saving 150 million dollars in Anambra state when people were hungry and jobless, and infrastructure deplorable.

If he replicates that philosophy as president, the military could chase him out in a coup.

And how has Buhari fared

Saving is very very good

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Norway all saved even Asian Pacific Nations save


There model is still the Best in the world

The western model of borrowing, spending is not the Best

2008 global financial crisis showed the flawness in the Western financial model

While the West seem to be getting away with it is because they control global financial institutions like IMF and World Bank
They control the dollar, Euro, pounds which are the major currencies of the world
And the West has been in control of global finances and business for the past 500 years of our world if not over 1000 years

So the West have an edge

African Nations if they want to become economically sound should look learn from successful Nations in the Arab world like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait
Successful Nations in the Asia Pacific like China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, India etc

These are Nations doing very well and there fundamentals are sound and water tight


Africa has been bedeviled with leaders that can't think
That run to the West for salvation
But are bereft of even the basic development concept


If Nigerians like they should miss this opportunity, but if they miss it. Time waits for no one

Tinubu and Atiku block votes from core Muslim north up in flames…the Christians will vote Obi most definitely. “..if I had worked together with Obi, believe me this election would have been over before February..”. Rabiu Kwakwanso

Wonder why the two didn't work together

They should have formed alliance

Chelsea as a football club, and its fans has to beg Abrahimovich and tell him to release the glory of the club, it's beyond apologizing to Tuchel , Abro built Chelsea with love and determination, losing Chelsea was like shattering a part of his life that he kept dear. We need to talk to Abro, the gods are angry

The problem na these American owners

They just think it's coming to change a winning combination

They edged out Marina and Peter chec come later sack Tuchel

They think Chelsea winning ways was just a fluke, not knowing it was structure that Roman Abrahamovic laid

Worse of all appointed a terrible English Coach

Honestly Chelsea is seriously doomed

It will take many years and tears for this club to get anything right.
Maybe even more than Man UTD and Arsenal took

If you know the true meaning of CHURCH you won't be reasoning this way, Nigeria is among poorest in the world despite all it's resources is because ignorant and greed not just from the politicians, including you and your pastorprenours.....
You keep referring to the government as being responsible for the poor, but you still collect from these same poor people without giving back to the society that is the evil in you wicked pastorprenours, taking advantage of the poor........

I think you are very very delusional

Who told you churches don't give back?

It's even the church in Nigeria that's helping a lot

I was privileged to be involved in prisons outreach for over six years

If you know what most of these Pentecostal churches you castigate do. You won't be talking this trash and rubbish

Plenty inmates are in the prison for crimes they didn't commit

Some because of no lawyers they have been incarcerated for years

Many inmates don't have food to eat

Drugs and medicine is not possible


Now churches of which my church Is involved
I am part of the outreach team go every month to the prisons

We go with doctors, lawyers , foods, drugs etc and it's not just one prison

But almost all the prisons most especially the ones in Lagos, including badagry

If not for the churches
Nobody, cares about these inmates. And I Know many of them that have become useful in life

I forgot even teachers. Many of them that never had access to school register for neco in prison and pass. Some even went on to national open university. Even graduated


Like I told you

You are very very delusional


How many less privileged persons have you helped in your life

I Know your type

You can't even help people around you but will be insulting those giving help


Like I said
You are very very delusional

You don't even understand yourself

And as we go on helping the less privilege. God always smile on us in our endeavors

desiredhome:
You don't understand because you choose not to understand.......
If dangote decides to establish a school today, no matter how expensive it is no body will complaining etc .....
When you use church name to establish a school, that school should be made available to the people that contributed towards it......
If that school was built without members contribution no body will talk about it ........

You are not making any sense walahi

There is no iota of you understanding the facts

So because a church opens a school it will not do things for it to succeed

Honestly your reasoning i don't even know how to explain it

The school won't pay workers or build facilities

Do you know that Harvard University was opened by the church. Likewise Oxford and Cambridge.

Most of these top universities around the world were opened by the church in there history


I am done arguing this issue with you

Try and tomorrow open a school for the poor, after all others doing it no get two head.

Adieu

desiredhome:
Your teaching/practicing is anti-christianity which opposes the teaching of Christ......
I am in the system and I know what I am saying......if you have one out of a million that may be on scholarship it's insignificant and I also know most less advantage people are only assisted by individual in the church not the church..........

Talking of education being expensive, you can't compare a private business school owner to a church school,.........
Church school were built on donations.....

collecting from the members/society in any form of donations and the society/majority of the members can't afford such schools is evil and this is the reason wickedness abounds in the society........

See I don't really understand some of you guys arguments at all


Was the university opened to just cater to the poor

Won't the university pay workers?
Won't they build infrastructures?
And many other things

So how will they do that


Covenant university is not even the most expensive private university in Nigeria. There school fees is not up to half a million Naira. It's even cheap

Afe Babalola university fees are in millions, just like Atiku abubakar university in millions

Education is not cheap anywhere


Look at Nigeria because government subsidizes university education, they can't even pay lecturers therefore there is always strike

There is no where in the world education is cheap

The problem with many of our people is ignorance. Simple

Nigerians studying in Ghana pays school fees in millions. I had two close relatives that studied there and I Know how expensive there education was.

Covenant university offers scholarship to a lot of poor students. But coming here to criticize them to me is just foolishness simple

They opened university to succeed and build up men and women.
And they are doing that


Covenant university graduates are doing very well in the corporate Nigeria, they are very employable. They are the best private university in Nigeria and among the best in Africa.
They are leading by example

So there is absolutely nothing wrong they have done.
They are on the right path

Even there secondary Schools are doing well. 5 of my nephew's and nieces are schooling there
And there. And they are not giving there parents trouble. Very well behaved. And there school fees is very cheap compared to all these very expensive private secondary School many big men children go to spoil and corrupt.

desiredhome:
This is the wicked and ignorant statement......I wonder what people have turned church into business......if education is not for the poor, but the same poor in the church contributed but in service and contributions......
This is the highest level of wickedness yet, you accuse unbelievable and others of being........
I wonder where the LOVE that formed the bases of Christianity is in Nigerian churches, especially the Pentecostal churches...

Do you know how many poor people that are on scholarship in covenant university?
You want him to come and announce it


Education is not for the poor anywhere in the world

Ask Nigerians schooling in Ghana or even common Benin republic how much they pay for school fees

I was privileged to school overseas and I know how many thousands of dollars was my tuition and upkeep money

Let me say it again
Education is not for the poor

The poor go to university either through scholarship or good academic records or through loan for school

Even in Western civilised countries it's same thing

People like Dr Ben Carson who came from very poor African American background went to Yale university as a result of good academic records

Today he is one of the most celebrated Nuro surgeons in the world

If you are poor
You can still go to university but there is a way

Franklydes:
See yourself na your type pastor deceive carry your money build church and house come leave school for you wey you no fit pay for your pikin to attend. See yoursef

My pikin dey better school pass this one

the man is doing very well

Building standard school

How many standard school you get for Nigeria?

Those that afford it are there

Education is expensive

Anywhere in the world

How much to attend Harvard University, Cambridge, Oxford, Yale university
Check there cost
Compare them with schools in Nigeria


Education is not for the poor
Anywhere around the world
It's expensive

The poor go to school with either scholarship, excellent academic records or through loan

sureprince01:
Don't mind them bros, they keep complaining about tithe and officering as if Oyedepo or Adeboye has ever knocked on their door and ask for tithe. If you have a taxable income and you don't pay, the government will no only knock your door, they will seal your door and even if you pay, they still won't give you light or road or health care. If the manage to start a road with your tax money, you will be glorifying them

No mind them

sureprince01:
Please how is he collecting from or for the people? have you gotten any text from Oyedepo saying u owe him a kobo? If you attend winners and you don't give offering or tithe, who will take you to court? I don't attend either winner or redeem, i am Anglican member and i employer of labour in the UAE, i choose to invest her because the government policies will kill my business. So i will commend anyone putting any structure together in Nigeria and again, paying Tax is a must but giving tithe or offering is simply optional. People paying it are not complaining. Channel your complaint to your government that takes heavy tax from you and still campaign with what they should do with the tax money and still wont do it.

You are a very wise man

Keep it up

Many of these complainers have not achieved anything meaningful with there lives

They are being ruled by one of the worst governments in the world

They won't complain about that
But poke nose into wetin no concern them

Franklydes:
it's funny when you people say this. Are we not in a capitalist society. Oh it's ok for him to collect for the people but cant give simple jobs to graduates like you. I pity you

Na you I pity

Poke nose into wetin no concern you

How many have you built?

Do that first before opening your mouth to accuse someone first

What have you achieved in your life?

I marvel at the way you guys come online and put mouth into wetin no concern you

In 10 lifetimes, you can't achieve half of what this man have done

Konquest:
RMD and Reno Omokri are both of Urhobo paternal ethnicity and with
Itsekiri maternal ancestry. This is the reason they both have
Yoruboid names because of their
Itsekiri maternal ancestry.


Itsekiris have 3 Yoruba sub-groups (
(Ijebu, Ife, and Ilaje) as the main parent ethnicities of Itsekiris with some Bini migration into their midst from the time of the exiled
Prince Ginuwa the son of the then
Oba of Benin kingdom in the 1480s to Ode Itsekiri an original Ijebu settlement that had Chief Lenuwa as their leader.

Prince Ginuwa's mother was from
Ife and the only non-Bini-born wife of the reigning Oba in the 1480s when Ginuwa was sent on exile with 70 men accompanying him.


Hope this helps.

All this one na long story

If we igbos begin to write long history of our relationships with our kit and kin in the minorities.

It still doesn't change anything

Nebes:
It's like the masses up north don't even know what their leaders are up to. The poorer majority have no access to education or internet to see the affluent lifestyle of their leader's children.

The secret is education

In most southern states
It's rare for you to see many kids not go to school from 5 years

Some even start early

But in the North

Very many kids don't go to school from 5 years old. They stay at home or go to quaranic schools or hawk something

So how do you think such a person will reason?
How do you think his or her world view will be?
This is a very big problem not just for the North
But entire Nigerian Nation

Because these same kids will grow up and become a menace to the society, troubling everyone.
They are the ones that turn out to become terrorists, bandits, notorious criminals and kidnappers


Only the Northern elites and few enlightened ones sends there children to school

grandstar:
The only reason why debt service is higher than revenue is because of the petrol subsidy and dollar subsidies. End those subsidies to day today and the debt service will no longer be higher than that of revenue as that would easily add about 9 tr to the government purse.

The federal government needs to increase revenue by improving tax collection. If the country can improve tax collection by 2% of GDP alone, this would produce about 5 tr in revenues. 2% of GDP is not a big deal.

Also, what the Nigerian pays for its debt is quite high. It is presently 18.5% which is a high premium because of its loose fiscal policies.

With tighter reins on government spending and waste, interest rates may go down to around 11.5% or even single digits which would bring down the cost of servicing the debt.

Nigeria does not have a problem. What the country has is 'buharinomics' problem. . With him out of the way from next year June, 2023, some level of economic sanity should resume.

After Buhari don run down everything and brought calamity for good eight years

Why didn't he do these things?

Removing the subsidy alone will affect Nigerians

All these your analysis sounds nice

But when the time comes we go see how far

It will not be a work in the park like that

The havoc is too much

DUNDEEMASTER:
Peter will salvage this country, buh it will be on Poco a Poco level.
The first mistake Buhari did was closing all borders thinking that you are helping Nigeria  
Nigeria is not a producing state why closing the borders. Even USA is still importing some commodities from other countries talk more of Nigeria.
As Nigeria is now, we barely have foreign revenue, so how will the naira gain value.. Seriously I weep for this country  
If we should make another mistake by Feb, too bad for us.

To me let Peter Obi forget this presidency wahala

This government have messed up everything

Let Tinubu or Atiku who first created the mess Clean it up

grandstar:
Nigeria's economic woes aren't that big. Buhari is simply the wrong man for the job.

The fiscal mess is caused by 3 things.

1. The fuel subsidy. This will cost cost close to 7 trillion next year to subsidize. Eliminate it and a major cause for the huge deficit next year is gone.

2. Subsidized dollar sales.

Ever since Buhari assumed office, he has subsidized the price of dollar by refusing it to achieve its true market value. For instance, presently, the official rate is 730 while the official rate is 440. The true value is around N600. At N600 or even 570, the official and black market rates would merge.

The subsidized dollar sale is a causing a massive loss of revenue. For instance, lets say the country earns $12bn in crude oil sales, that money would be disbursed 440 rather than N600. That $12bn will bring in 5.28 tr rather than N7.2 tr. That means the government is losing 1.92tr in revenue.

There is urgent need to end the dollar fixing by Buhari has it is the primary cause of the bad state of the economy. It has led to severe fx shortages at the official rate as no one in his right mind would sell at that rate.

Just fixing those 2 will fix a lot of problems with the fiscal expenditure and all the 3 leading candidates hahev promised to so.

And the debt of 77trillion nko
When your debt service is already higher than revenue

Cleaning up the mess is very difficult

ExAngel007:

Sometimes I even pray make Peter Obi no win this election, this one some polls are projecting him winning and all these endorsement

Let Tinubu or Atiku win.
They were the ones that brought Buhari in
And created all this mess

Let them clean up the mess

Because honestly
Wetin Buhari don do Nigeria
The reversal will be hard

Make those that created the mess Clean it

Lemmy123:
Too bad many people are in a marriage they can't exit anymore no matter how abusive or mentally depraving it is...

I think the society caused it. They place a very high value on marriage that makes everyone aspire to it (especially ladies) and they tell you God hates divorce. While that may be true, how do I contend with a woman whose behaviour I can't tame and or tolerate? And vice versa....

Truth is, marriage scares me

As a married man:


Marriage is not a bed of roses

If you are looking to give up on it

There are many things that will make you give up

Even minor things

But it requires resilience to stay on

Sometimes you feel lovey dovey

Sometimes you ask why did I marry this person

But it's that resilience that keeps it going

Grass on the other side may look greener

But truly it's not

Sex in marriage is different from sex outside marriage

Marriage sex mostly requires sacrifice and unselfishness

Putting your partners pleasure before yours

But it's all good with time and better

Marriage is good

It so much teaches you patience

How to live with another person

If you are married to a partner that has empathy and human feelings

You will definitely make it

Napata77:
You're absolutely right.

But Jay Jay Okocha was more skilful than Ronaldinho.

Jay Jay Okocha was Ronaldinho's mentor at PSG.

Most of his tricks, he learnt from Jay Jay Okocha.

If Okocha was young and playing today, at a club befitting his skill level, he would be mentioned in the same breath as Messi.

True and very correct

MERCHANDISER:
Messi is far better than this pele.
I have watched all his videos on YouTube, nothing spectacular.
Football then wasn't technical and sophisticated as it is today.


Messi is the GOAT
Ronaldo de Lima is the Deputy GOAT

next in GOAT ranking are

Christaino Ronaldo
Maradona and Pele
Ronaldinho
Drogba
Henry
Iniesta
Benzema
Marcelo
Dani Alves

All these indomie generation self

imagine Questioning the greatness of Pele

They don't know that the quality of football being played now na wash down.

Even the quality played in the generation before this one was better off

How many good footballers do we even have now?
That's why Messi and Ronaldo dominated for over a decade
Without anyone challenging them

Prior generation had Zidane, Ronaldo de Lima, Luis Figo, Ronaldiho, Kaka, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos and many more all in one generation

How many good footballers do we even have now?

All the time Messi this Messi that

Can you even compare Messi to prime Ronaldiho. Do people even realize how skilful Dinho was?

Like I said
The quality of football dropped that's why Messi and Ronaldo dominated there generation.
Just the two of them

mach7:
In my opinion, APC shouldn't have bothered replying OBJ. It only makes his "endorsement" seem somewhat relevant.

To the discerning, his support for Obi has been clear from day one. Amongst the frontline candidates, Obi is the only one that can be controlled or dictated to by OBJ. OBJ's aim is to ensure that his influence which was eroded by Buhari can be restored via Obi. All the talk about supporting someone from Eastern extraction is just a charade.

Asides this, I also perceive that OBJ has a personal animosity for Tinubu. Something akin to envy since the days of when Tinubu was a Governor.

To those saying that Tinubu went to beg OBJ for endorsement, you are spewing rubbish. Tinubu was advised to go see OBJ (being the most prominent Yoruba leader who is an ex-president) and sell his ambition to him, and Tinubu followed that advice.

Following the outcome of the meeting, it became clear that OBJ won't support Tinubu, but he also committed that he wouldn't support Atiku either and for the Tinubu camp, that was OK.

Election is next month, let's see how OBJ's and by extension the so called "Cabal of ex-Gemerals" endorsement helps Obi.

However, I do find it funny when Obi says he want to build a new Nigeria and use the hungry youths as a structure....blah...blah...blah and yet still relies on the same corrupt structure of persons like OBJ to attempt to get into office.

Really funny.

Who is ruling Nigeria now?

Is it still not one of the ex generals

As long as the 1966 class are still alive. They will determine who rules Nigeria

Nigeria that belongs to them

Until they all die

There influence will still be here

Never underate them.

Obasanjo ruled 1999 to 2007

He handed over to the Younger brother of one of them shehu Musa yaradua, Umaru yaradua

Jonathan was just fortunate

Still he lost to one of the ex generals Buhari

Since 1999 they have influenced who rules Nigeria

No political machinery in Nigeria
Is superior to the ex generals

Tejuri:
Go to Ogun state, nobody cares about him. They are writing an epistle or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he has no political influence at all. The Tinubu camp where trying to get him onboard to make it look like they had all prominent Yoruba sons behind them, same reason Tinubu tried to make up with Afenifere. Obasanjo is a paperweight, nobody rates him in the south west, he hated Awolowo, MKO Abiola, and now Asiwaju, which is why nobody really gives a Bleep about him. Heck, Yorubas didn’t even vote for him when he ran for President lol.

This post is about Obasanjo’s influence. I am not saying he is wrong to endorse Obi.

But still the only Yoruba man to have ruled Nigeria three good times. So much for feather weight man

eldoradoxx:
How APC overlooked intellectually sound progressive and younger Yoruba men of presidential calibre like Osibanjo, Fashola, Fayemi who can match Obi age for age, credentials for credentials, education for education etc and selected a Tinubu who is showing clear signs dementia to replace a historic failure presently in Aso Rock (Buhari) shows u that wichraft is real. How does a sound progressive thinking party field a Tinubu to replace a Buhari that failed woefully when they know that younger Nigerians are already yearning for revolutionary change in the next election? Tinubu is not a bad man, he has been nice to his friends and associates no doubt, but he has become too washed by age for the kind of President we need to redeem and rebuild this country. I am from South South, I supported Osibanjo wholeheartedly for APC ticket hoping that APC would use him to redeem itself from the failure of Buhari's government, but APC allowed Tinubu share dollars in the convention just as Atiku used dollars to buy his ticket in PDP. The rest is history, Obi is for everyone who does not want Tinubu/Shettima and Atiku/Okowa, they are in the absolute majority and Obi will win convincingly and shockingly to the political class.

As in no be small witchcraft walahi

Really begs beyond belief

Nwaetche:
BAT through his spokesman said that Obasanjo's endorsements are worthless? Yet you & your people went to his house the other day to solicit for his endorsement.

Obj has now endorsed someone else and you suddenly remember that his endorsements are worthless?

Shame!

, ,

You can see the type of people emi lokan and his people are

Yet they went to his place to beg him for endorsement

Now he is worthless

Very unserious and unstable set of people
