BlueRayDick:
Politicians know how to source for funds. Peter Obi definitely didn't run on funds donated by me and u to become governor.

Peter Obi has been travelling all around the country attending rallies, debates and political forums. I can tell u for free that all the expenses he's incurred are certainly not from his pocket and neither are they are all donated by the common man like me and u.

A typical Nigerian politician which Obi is knows u need to make trade-offs, promise some people contracts, promise to support the donors future political ambitions, etc for u to get the needed funds.
We are in Nigeria and not America where u promise big pharma's to sponsor bills that will profit them just to get campaign funds.

How I think campaigns should be funded doesn't matter at this point because it won't change anything. It's not like there will be any transparency and proper accounts of funds will be submitted to me. However they want they should fund their campaigns.

I will vote for who I prefer but I won't donate to any billionaire politician's campaign.

Notice that you still did not answer the questions, instead you digressed and pivoted.

How do you think ideally, campaigns should be funded?

How much do you estimate a national campaign costs?

Lastly, do you think the labour party is wrong for soliciting funds from the grassroots?

monerozi5590:
Do you really know what you saying right now?

I really do!!
Nobody here is smaller than 1k!
If you're on this thread, you most likely have data sub far bigger than 1k.
Campaign donations is an investment. An investment in your future.

If you support Obi, it means you also dream of a Nigeria that does things differently.
A Nigeria where state funds are not used to fund campaigns. That's a crucial first step in curtailing corruption.

iamoyindamola:
I repeat i will rather tear my money than give those greedy people

You've still not answered this

Donjazet2:
Can I ask you a simple question?

How do you think campaigns should be funded?

And how much can you estimate is needed for a campaign?
Please don't divert. Don't go personal or offpoint, just candidly give your opinion on those questions.

How do you think ideally, campaigns should be funded?

How much do you estimate a campaign costs?

And more so what is one thousand that will make people be lamenting?
I mean 1k is what you could dash a beggar on the road. 1k is far less than your monthly data sub.
So why exactly will anyone with good conscience and desire to see a better Nigeria not instantly do this?

Una matter tire person oo.

If you like, allow yourselves be decieved by agents of darkness that dread seeing Nigeria get better..
I mean, think of this, just 1k oo.

OasisX:


Let's donate aggressively. Obi is a Saint, he's not like other regular Politicians and has nothing to do with them.

In fact his Campaign DG, Doyin Okupe, is never accused of corruption or probed by EFCC despite that he was once a public office Holder. Another Saint, a Christian Faithful and APC Chieftain, Babachir Lawal just endorsed him.

If Wike offers him support financially, he won't take it because he doesn't wanna use public fund to win the Election.

Let's bombard the Azza with plenty Shishi.

#OnethousandNairaChallenge

When concerned Nigerians speak, please take several seats!!
You support a monumental criminal. From stolen identitys, to stolen public funds, you have no right whatsoever to speak. Your rant comes from your dread and immense fear.

You know the power of the masses hence your fear of people adding their financial resources to their passion. You are very scared of what happens when the People unite.
You and your drug lord really should sit this one out.

BlueRayDick:
I hate to rain on your parade, but Doyin Okupe is a political fat cat currently being prosecuted by EFCC on 59 count charges boardering on corruption. I mean niggga is being prosecuted for getting N702 million from the money meant for arms purchase.

That same man is the Director general of Peter Obi's campaign Council. Trust me, even if I earn millions of dollars yearly, a cent of my money will not go to a campaign being being handled by someone like Doyin Okupe.

U can extol the virtue of Obi being free of corruption charges, unfortunately same cannot be said about those around him like Doyin Okupe. That tells Peter Obi is a Nigerian politician above all and he understands he needs even people of questionable character like Doyin Okupe.

I don't think u should begrudge people for not wanting to donate to a campaign that is being led by someone like Doyin Okupe that has "eaten our yam" under Jonathan's free for all government.

Doyin is not running for president, the Nigerian masses are, through Peter Obi. Obi is riding the wave of the masses and that means that money is needed.

In the same vein, I will ask you what I asked damola.

How do you think campaigns should be funded?
How much do you estimate campaigns cost?

iamoyindamola:
Someone that use government fund to run his business
Contribute and watch him cash out
Why can't he use his fund

Can I ask you a simple question?

How do you think campaigns should be funded?

And how much can you estimate is needed for a campaign?

Please don't divert. Don't go personal or offpoint, just candidly give your opinion on those questions.

How do you think ideally, campaigns should be funded?

How much do you estimate a campaign costs?

hopefulLandlord:
are people this naïve to assume Everything in life is either plain white or vantablack?

I don't get. Can you elaborate?

Be educated! Be wise!

Vote wisely!

Radarada

A shortsighted comment. AS USUAL!
By saying this, you relinquish your rights to complain about any effects of bad government or its policies.

It's very unfortunate that we've met these politicians beat us Soo senseless we can't even have any iota of hope that things can be better.
Well, a lot of us recognise change can happen, even though it's gradual. That first step has to be taken.

The Obi movement is a people oriented movement. One not sponsored by political fat cats, Obi is running on the goodwill of the masses and that requires funds. Clean money. People's money, not stolen wealth.

Roland17, you recently stated that you voted in the last american elections, I'm very aware that American campaigns are funded by grassroot donors like yourself, I'm curious, did you donate to various campaigns of your choice?

Please I urge you all to donate your widowsmite to the actualization of our dream for a better Nigeria. Our hope for a turnaround of our country's fortunes.

Your little effort is needed in order to put in place, quality advertisment placings, buying of media airtime, logistical, canvassing and mobilization expenditures.

Running a national campaign is really expensive in every part of the world, let this be the first time, the people rallies together and chose their leaders. No more state capture, no more embezzlement of funds for election purposes, let's do it like every advanced nation does.

I hope the undecided realize that if you don't vote out that calamitous party in these elections you're rewarding their bad behavior as they have zero incentive to do anything when they get there again. They will gladly run Nigeria to the ground and you will look foolish even complaining about it. Since you had the chance and failed to hold them accountable.

Comrade A40

A40:
Lool. That man is definitely in the same range with Buhari if not older. Let's start there

Tinubu supporters will vote him even if there was bodies found in Bourdillon. Do not think for one second that these videos and whatever is trending on the internet will sway their minds. These videos are for the undecided and apathetic to realize that if they don't take a stand then this is the guy they are going to get whether they like it or not

This is beautiful. Couldn't put it better. I personally think that anyone who is claiming undecided at this point is nothing but a fool. That person stuffers abulism. Has an abulic persona.

Aggrieved northern Christians led by babachair lawal endorses governor Peter obi citing the Muslim Muslim ticket as a seed of discord and lightning rod in the country. Calling the ticket, the height of insensitivity towards northern Christians.

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (pandef) represented by chief Edwin Clarke in collaboration with the southern group forum endorses governor Peter obi.

"[b]Third, Ohanaeze works in collaboration with the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), comprising the Afenifere, pandef, Middle Belt Leaders and Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by an elder-statesman, Chief E.

This will be where the dye is cast..
This is where determines who win the elections next year and guess who they have endorsed.

Hmm.

ScamHunter:
Atiku Abubakar
Advantages
1. Atiku understands business and the need for prosperity. He would actively seek for FDI for the economy.

2. An intelligent person, so may make some right governance decisions.

3. Atiku is a nationalist and wouldn't limit policy executions to the core north.

Disadvantages
1. Atiku is a weak-willed individual and would be largely influenced by another cabal in power.

2. Atiku as a Fulani would not have the will to reign in his terrorist brothers killing people all over the country. His presidency would be calamitous in terms of bloodshed, especially in Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna.

3. Atiku deleting a tweet that condemned the murder of Deborah shows he is a man who won't stick out his neck to do the right thing. The country would be mostly on autopilot with him in charge.

4. Atiku would continue the appeasement of terrorists like ISWAP and BH while they consolidate.

5. Like most Fulani politicians, Atiku likes free money he didn't work for and his government would personify corruption with attendant looting.

6. Atiku, like all Northerners prefer a Nigeria where the south feeds the North so won't move for restructuring. He'll move to consolidate northern grip on power.

7. If Atiku wins, the south may not hold power for a long time to come since the north would had learnt the secret of holding power perpetually. Divide the south and conquer...

Bola Tinubu
Advantages
1. The south would feel a reprieve that power is in the south.

2. Tinubu may move for restructuring the country.

3. You can take a lot from Tinubi but what is not in doubt is the man's boldness. If he is healthy enough, he could be an equalizer to the northern dominance of the south.

Disadvantages
1. Tinubu is old, sick and weak and won't be in charge. The best case scenario is that his wife would run the country behind the scene like Yaradua's wife did. The worst case scenario is that Shettima would take charge of the country.

2. Tinubu would lack the will to tackle the Fulani menace due to his known deference to them. So wanton killings would continue unabated in the country.

3. Boko Haram would consolidate with the presence of a sympathizer like Shettima in power. Borno and Yobe plus Adamawa would be threatened since the terror group may gain more clout and arms using their new found government connection.

4. Tinubu would be a tribal leader who is in government to get Yoruba share. Since he has seen how Buhari got Fulani share, he would make Yoruba interest top priority while agitation in other regions, especially the southeast and south south would heighten.

5. Tinubu is corrupt and the effect would be seen all over the country via excessive looting. The economy may collapse with the USD pushing up towards the #3000 region by the time he's done stealing for his own friends.

6. Tinibu's main baggage is his health. If he's in government, it'll be as if he's not there so others run things.


Peter Obi

Advantages
1. Obi is interested in fixing the country. So expect a revolution and wide sweeping reforms in most sectors.

2. Obi is anti establishment and would drastically cut the cost of governance to put money in the hands of common people.

3. Expect massive shakeups in the civil service, military, paramilitary and public service as he moves to curb corruption and waste.

4. Obi's government would tackle agitations for the breakup of Nigeria and may succeed in minimizing it. They'll actively combat terrorism in his government.

5. Industrial and agricultural revolution is what his government would be known for.

6. Expect a higher GDP for the country with revenues flowing in from untapped resources

Disadvantages

1. Obi would run the most opposed government in the history of the country as cabals would be formed by the political class to oppose his policies and bring him down.

2. Expect real opposition from the National Assembly for the first time as the man plugs the looting avenues they've enjoyed for decades.

3. His mass empowerment policies would lead to lower taxes, tax reliefs and lower IGRs.

4. There'll be massive shake ups, retirements and sacks in the Federal Civil Service, Police and military as the man culls the unqualified quota-based manpower to build stronger institutions.

5. Obi seems to like Nigeria as presently constituted and wouldn't move for restructuring.

OasisX:

Well look at that, no smiley emoji for a change.

I just challenged your conscience. Will it get to work? Will your conscience challenge you now for supporting a candidate whose virtues are completely opposite to your faith?
When you pray, are you happy with yourself? Is Allah happy with you?

Itsrm:
Na only that part you see

I have to ask again, now that wike has pretty much endorsed Obi, who are you voting??
Have you got your PVC? Have you finally decided? It's high time we welcomed you properly to the fold. Are you in league with millions of your brothers now filled with optimism towards a better Nigeria? Filled with hope of a new Nigeria? Or would you rather bask in utmost hopelessness and pessimism? Which is it my aburo?

Oasisx, how does it feel knowing you support a very shady character? A character you know has delved into criminalism, a character that refuses to reveal even the barest minimum about his childhood, a character that evades the media like his life depends on it.

Doesn't it bother you? When you go to the mosque and you pray to Allah, is your conscience not troubled? Doesn't something prick you that let's you feel, you're commiting a grave sin by openly supporting a criminal?

Doesn't Islam forbid cocaine and heroine? What does Islam proscribe against it's dealers? Why are you turning your back on your own faith? I really wonder.

https://www.nairaland.com/7448322/five-southwest-states-owe-pensioners

I read this news and I ask again, so what is the benefits of the SW being a regional power in politics done for the common man??

The 5 southwestern states owe half a trillion naira to pensioners and their gratuities, yet people will want to brag that the drug baron is a good politician because his party is the ruling party, the question remains, are the Yorubas exempt from the effects of terrible governance?? The answer is a big NO!! Tribalism doesn't help anybody. Bad leadership is bad leadership. The APC is the most corrupt party in Africa. Time to try something new.

Oasis003:


BAT has never claimed the picture, he wasn't the sponsor of that Documentary either, so why the fuss?!

..... Babachir? LMFAO!

But it is on his website, bolatinibu dotcom.

Ellexy:
How it started vs how its going

No surprises here. Good product always sells itself while illegal/bad product is on the run always. They should keep hiding him like palliative and let him continue running away from media. This is kind of president he wants to become. God forbid.

I mean, should we be surprised that as usual, the yellow teeth-stained drug baron will run away from a live interview??

I feel like I have to constantly remind people that the news of tinubu's parkinson's is one that is over 9 years old. This man is currently functioning at 55 percent. If we like let's fall prey to the people deceiving us here while being far away and free from the repercussions.

Theflint1:

I've been seeing that picture around but haven't understood it. Why did the German team all cover their mouths in the picture?

This world cup is really shaping up nicely.

If you don't vote, these are the people that will vote for you and you get to live with the consequences.
