Elon just wants to run twitter to the ground. No be all businesses every business person can handle, he really does not have any business buying and trying to run twitter. Dangote tried it with noodles, found out it wasn't an area he can survive, he sold off and left. I see twitter may finally be sold off to Mark

Na so. Abi you have told them what to ask and what not to ask. When to zoom in their camera and when not to zoom in. When to focus on trembling hands and When to focus camera on the audience. My own is that, however 2023 turns out, na all of us go endure am. To think people are even attending an event called by a ruling party that met exchange rate of $1: #225 and took it to $1: #850 and still climbing, what exactly are they going there to hear from the party?

Hypo go wipe ooo!!

Said it that the level of discord this whole thing will sow in Afenifere won't be funny

backnbeta:
I don't think so; Pa Fasoranti is a man of principle and we all know that. The truth is; Ohaneze will never leave Obi to endorse Tinubu or Atiku- it won't happen and it's not expected. It's only natural for Afenifere to endorse Tinubu, even if he's from Iragbiji because Iragbiji is still part of Yoruba land. That said, it doesn't mean we are going to vote their candidate, same way Ohaneze can't force all Igbos to vote for Obi. This is Nigeria - ethnic politics is the order of the day

I really do not care about who was endorsed or not. My focus is on the document I uploaded. PA Fasoranti wrote that, heaped so much praises on these men and handed over leadership to them, only to come around now to sow this whirlwind he's about depositing in Afenifere. He just succeeded in fractionalizing the group deeply. Let's see what the future holds for everyone

When men allow money betray their principles. This was same PA Fasoranti's letter in 2021, when he handed over to PA Adebanjo. Today baba is saying he was misunderstood. We will be alright shaaa

This thread is flooded with tears.
Leaves thread

U guys will be spewing rubbish here in nairaland.
Don't even compare ur Obi with Atiku jare and stop being myopic on others life style.
Ur Obi is Atikus boy so sink that in2 ur skull
February is close....
All of u supporting Obi will all regret it tomorrow because it's Apc the evil government u are casting ur votes for...

Don't burst an artery while you are supporting your Atiku oo. Just one question for you, Atiku has been a serial presidential contestant in Nigeria, can you show me just one of his past engagements with Nigerians in diaspora during the course of his campaigns. Don't bother mentioning me again if you can't find any

God bless Mr. Peter Obi, like it or not, the man has brought some level of advanced engagement to our political clime. Who could ever imagine that presidential candidates will be travelling to engage diasporans and not eating corns and akara on the streets

Shouldn't they have hung this animal by his balls by now?

Go check Lagos State debt profile despite their IGR, so you'll understand why the man was so comfortable saying that. Imagine a salary earner borrowing from the bank to go flex for club and comparing himself with a fellow salary earner who took similar loan to set up a side business

copyrites:
The amount of votes Peter Obi will pull from Igala people ehn.. I just dey pity anyone thinking they can get bloc votes from most of these states.

Also, most of the Kogi indigenes that sought refuge in Anambra and was taken care of, during the 2012 flood, when PO was still governor, were Igala people. I believe this is his payback time from them for his humane gesture towards them, even though by Nigerian standards, they were not his responsibility. I still believe that the amount of surprise this man will pull next year will be very shocking, cos he has literally touched lives in every corner of Nigeria, way before this election period and karma never forgets.

The beauty of patriotism, knowing when to step down for the general interest of the country. Here our politicians don't care wether they have the support of majority or not. Shameless lots

Nigeria is like a horror movie, just when you think you've seen the worst scene, a more scarier scene plays out

Some of the youths attending this memorial walk through and even some that survived that night's shooting, are today, actively jumping up and down for the same APC responsible for this atrocious act. Everyday, even with all the evidence from that night, you hear people scream 'where is the bodies', my response to them is, e go reach una one day. Nigeria must happen to each and everyone of you, maybe by then, we'll truly resolve to save this country

N3TRAL:
If any party takes over Lagos as it is today with the rate of rural-urban migration and absence of well structured systems in the Country, Lagos will become a big mess and a burden to the country.

Let's use Cross River State as a case study.

As a child during Christmas, we would land at the Airport in Calabar to spend our Christmas vacation as spectators of the colourful bands that will dance past us during the Calabar carnival. The carnival was simply the biggest Christmas event in Sub-saharan Africa.

On our way to the hotel we'd stay, my mother and the tour guide would be discussing how clean Calabar was. I remember trees planted in the city and thousands of waste bins that were not filled up after every 1 meter. I was not yet 10 years old but I think those trips to the hotel used to feed my eyes with neatest gaze of an environment anywhere in the country. We'd visit Tinapa, Marina resort and Obudu Cattle Ranch when father gave us more funds to enjoy ourselves.

After Donald Duke exited office as Executive Governor, the next Governor continued with the carnival but the quality was decreasing, the towns were becoming disorganized and the facilities for tourism in the state were deteriorating.

Under the administration of the current Governor, Cross River State is a ghost town during Decembers. There's no carnival and the towns are as dirty as any Nigerian town. Weed and rodents have taken over what used to be the destination of tourists in Nigeria.

Donald Duke had a vision of creating the best tourism site in Africa. He did that in 8 years but the project was a long term project that should have taken 30 years to reach its prime. All he needed was q chain of successors to achieve the goal and people from that part of the country would be swimming in wealth like the natives of the Emirates.

Getting successors and a team to continue the long term plan of developing Lagos to the best city in Africa is what Tinubu got right.

You may ask why succession democracy doesn't have a place in North America and Western Europe but nations in those continents prosper. Those countries had systems built for more than 100 years before they could work. That is why whether an American President is Democrat or Republican, he knows that he has a responsibility of fighting at least one foreign war before he leaves office because America profits through foreign domination.

We are still in the process of building strong systems and institutions. Don't argue that anything will change soon because even Peter Obi which you portray as something new is bigger than Labour Party. That's a classical example of individuals being powerful than institutions and systems.

You should instead study the rise of the Emirates to understand how the succession of their monarchs helped them in achieving their goals or China to comprehend why there is the CCP.

Hope you also know that after Duke left as guvnor of Cross River state, the state's revenue went down drastically as they lost 76 oil Wells to Akwa Ibom state. Hence most of the things Duke was able to do was challenging to be continued, with a limited revenue for his successors.

Police detectives were briefed on why he was arrested which includes; his activities and utterances that incited and provoked the violence that engulfed Onicha Community which led to suspected gunmen to unleash mayhem in the area in 2021.

“Hence, the case has now been taken over by the Police Command for a scrupulous investigation

Such an incoherent news, see heading see body of news you will know that they are just trying to stick anything to the man. Imagine man evading police authorities for so long, they had to now go and pick him up from a vigilante outfit that arrested him

Pakute:
Where is your evidence that Tinubu's money was forfeited?. Hundeyin really pissed in your brains with his junks.

I believe you are literate enough to see that the second screenshot I posted above is that of the forfeiture order granted by the judge on the case. If a court declaration is not convincing enough for you, then you can go look for your engagement somewhere else. Keep mentioning Hundeyin, as if this drug case haven't been following BAT since the 90s

It has never being in doubt, and it goes all the way to their oga, the minister of petroleum, who supervised over the worst period of crude oil theft, in Nigeria's history. This is them trying to clean up their mess, after raping Nigeria's economy into a comatose state.

Pakute:
David Hundeyin's propaganda is messing with your brain. Not surprised Aisha Yesufu was calling him out for his spin journalism. She knows all along the guy was only messing up the brains of zombidients but kept mute till she was served yesterday.

It's a bit funny when you see supposedly enlightened people, refer to events that are backed with hard facts, as propaganda. Which aspect of the two documents below is propaganda? Or does one take a plea bargain and forfeit 400+ thousand dollars, as a show of innocence? Or we all just choose to act the ostrich in this country sef?

Life is complex. Check out the story below, you can also read up this book; “Children Who Have Lived Before: Reincarnation Today” by author and German therapist Trutz Hardo. To see other reincarnation related stories from kids.

SmartPolician:
Huncle, if you agree to come for a media chat, you should expect any questions, including the colour of your boxers. It's now left for you to either answer or decline.

However, I don't think the lady deliberately ignored the question because it's not even difficult to answer. She could have simply said, "Well, that's what the Economist columnists think, but the Nigerian voters will have the final say."

Simple!

Yes I know that agreeing to feature in an interview leaves you open to any kind of question. My point is that as a professional journalist, you use such opportunity to hit the guests with hard pressing questions that can elicit deep intellectual discourse and in the process, unearth either the intellectual depth or shallowness of a party and her candidate and not asking questions about what a poll says. My opinion

K E Z I A, now I believe the saying that name influences character. love the name though.

Why ask them such question in the first place? So what will their comment change or invent? Like all of you now use the guy's name to drive engagement

Like this man eats plenty of turkeys and as thanksgiving is around the corner, man became a target. Reminds me of the movie freebirds

Person no fit make small mistake again without landing in police net?

Vibekiller:
That time fraud was easy doing it to the white men, because they were very greedy.

On the contrary, fraud then was more pain staking and required meticulous planning and strategy than now that all you need is some advanced computer skills to intercept millions of dollars. These men in their time brought in whites and had physical meetings in high powered government agencies and ministries where they finetuned their scams and signed papers. They had their people sit on high level government 'seats' acting as the authority and okaying these deals. The airport scam purportedly involved a meeting with the CBN governor, who of cos was one of them acting as CBN governor in the CBN governor's office.

Deception / nondisclosure of critical information is grounds for marriage annulment, you can't mislead someone into marriage while holding back some critical information. Even the Catholic Church as strict as they are with marriage, once such is proven, annuls the marriage

dchamp234:
And people keep blaming ASSU for not calling off the strike until their demands are met and same federal government still taking them to court, woo to any lecturer who will go back to class.

I for one don't blame ASUU one bit, especially after the evidence that Bashir Ahmed was illegally collecting salary after he had tendered his resignation as presidential aide, surfaced. Not only that, he earns almost 2x, a university professor's salary, just for applying makeup in the media, on this government

erico2k2:
No ship can come to Nigerian waters without permission from NAVY!

Isn't that samething I'm saying? You can't even bunker supply even at jetty, without naval permit. Yet some funny guys want me to believe that vessels have been coming to steal crude from this location, steadily for the past 7 years without detection? Una know una audience shaa, I'm definitely not one of them

Funny govt. Imagine having a 4km export line to sea and large vessels come there and load crude repeatedly for the past 7 years abi 9 years. In a country that her navy are very active in monitoring the region yet they never for once saw an unauthorised crude laden vessel in our waters. The rot goes all the way up and they are all actively involved, financially bleeding the country to death.

She disgraced herself all through. Could not answer any one question correctly, ask her A and she will respond with Z. Body language exudes toutish character. Funniest thing, she said she's a 3x HOR member and schooled in the UK. Really felt sad for her
