More effort is being made to tear down Nigeria instead of unite it. Many Nigerian politicians never loved a united Nigeria or are they working towards it. No blueprint nor genuine interest to build a functional and united Nigeria. I'm afraid it's not going well with so called Giant of Africa.

Let Lagosians vote their choice in a free and fair manner.

The Feb 25 election result in Lagos rattled APC. Even the national result, as bad as it is, points to the direction Nigerian youths wants the country to go. It was a protest vote against the party in power.

Sanwo-Olu appears like a hardworking person with great sense of loyalty but unfortunately the political clique he represents is where the big problem lies. He is campaigning hard now, who knows, he might convince more Lagosians to believe in him.

For me, let the best person win!

And when he succeeds with this fight and restores the dignity of Nigerians, all man will benefit regardless of creed or ethnicity. Our last hope to reset Nigeria to a functional society for everyone.

He is still fighting Obi even after Feb 25 charade. Is this man working for Atiku or Tinubu or both?

So sad what happened to your sister.

The federal government concentrated nearly everything in Lagos. So people will naturally flock to where there is huge economic activities. That's how London, New York, Johannesburg, etc attracts the world to it.

Nearly all large enterprise's headquarters (both governmental and private) are based in Lagos. Port Harcourt used to take a slice of this during the peak of oil activities until the militants ruined that aspect.

For instance Lagos needed train transport badly to help in movement of people but where did Federal govt prioritize when building rail services, the North.

Things are not done properly in Nigeria because we still think and do things tribally, and not competently to the best interest of Nigerians. It doesn't seem as if there is a real country called Nigeria because the people still see each other as strangers.

All of them, including Reno are only fighting for their own pocket. The true Nigerians are the ones that want genuine change, not these political jobbers.

Igbos have moved on...next please

The worst government since Nigeria independence!

Una suppose hide una face.

Zero leadership, zero inspiration to Nigerians, disastrous economy, weak judiciary, anti-people legislative assembly, worst security, corruption beyond belief, extreme poverty, and I can go on and on.

Dem they whine me ni ooo, which one be stranded Nigerians for Niger? I smell a rat

Is Wike still crying? E don do naah!

Criminal politicians cried the loudest even more than the suffering masses. Why?

"Criminals is politics", that's very deep.
"Competence, character and capacity", wow, it is very clear who meets the 3Cs.

Imagine Wike as President, shuuuoo!!!

Reno is gradually accepting the reality. Scales are falling out from his eyes. Be strong Reno and go further mile to declare Obi as the favourite. It won't hurt you. It's the truth and only but the truth. He is the best amongst the candidates.

Selfish and useless politicians talking as usual. Do they care, NO!

Amechi and Wike are both selfish and useless. The people should go out and vote their mind.

Emperor Wike telling elders who to vote and they fearfully repeated it loudly in his presence, otherwise they will loose their chieftaincy stool. The emperor smiled, but what will happen in emperor's absence, we don't know.

A renowned Professor of Economics and former CBN Governor who is occupying the office once occupied by Mr Obi for 8 years of mediocre leadership in Anambra under him, Economist Soludo, has passed a verdict on Mr Obi; he regards Mr Obi as a colossal failure in 8 years reign of Mr Obi as Anambra state Governor.

None of the current or past Governors of Anambra endorsed him and none of them can vouch for him.

Any Economist hyping Mr Obi is like the discredited ANAP 'poll' and should not be taken with seriousness.

The current Governor of Anambra state, Prof Soludo, a Professor of Economics and former Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) Governor, already gave the scorecard of Mr Obi. Soludo said publicly that Anambra state investment that Mr Obi made in the capital market is today worth next to nothing.
The renowned Economist, Prof Soludo stated that Anambra state under Mr Obi took the first position in Nigeria in the democratization of poverty!

Tinubu’s legacy investments are still standing today and yielding huge returns to Lagos state government. He was one of the first state governors to ever use the capital market for raising state bonds, Lagos made huge ROI on its shares in Airtel, Asiwaju initiated the vision that today birthed Lekki Deep Seaport(only deep seaport in Nigeria and largest in West Africa) and Lagos state majority-owned companies like LASACO Plc are doing well in the capital market.

All these manipulation of facts to rewrite history in order to hype Mr Obi will end in 5 days time.when Mr Obi would have been defeated at the polls in a free, fair, transparent and credible election.

The good thing is that his defeat will teach other current and past mediocre governors a lesson: If you do not want to be paying PR guys money to hype you, work very hard in office so that your work will speak for you.
Nigerians will open your record for posterity when you are mediocre in office then come later to contest. No media hype will pull wool over people’s eyes.Serve well. He is wasting his money on sponsored post.smh

Serve excellently like Tinubu served Lagos as Governor for 8 years. Mr Obi and Alhaji Atiku were mediocre in office for 8 years.
check my signature for free stuffs!

Same way you guys hyped and packaged Buhari in 2015. Now, Nigerians have learnt the hard lessons that it was a dummy they were sold. APC should just stay aside like PDP, to learn the basics of how to source good candidates that can move the nation forward.

APC collectively failed and should not be reelected at the center. Executive, Legislative bodies and judiciary are all in limbo doing nothing else but serving the self interest of selected few. This must stop from this Saturday pls.

This country is very difficult to manage, I tell you. CBN gave a three month window, people refuse to deposit money, extended it still people refuse, rolled out new money, bank officials monetized it and gave it to highest bidder boycotting the massive masses. If CBN had printed lots of money and released into circulation aggressively like you said, would it have gotten to the masses too? I think majority of it would have also been courted by the elites. I just weak for Nigeria. Now people are destroying banks and they expect them to work? We come back to complain again that money is not circulating, after shutting down banks? I mean... people working in banks are human being too, since if them have been traumatized.

.

I know of 1-month window that elapsed on 31 January and the added extension which lasted till 10 February. I agree that Nigeria is very difficult to manage, but we need to up our "planning and executing" abilities. These kind of risks would have been envisaged and assessed before rolling out the program. Hopefully one or two lessons would have been learnt especially as we get into the next big one which is "election".

PeterObi4LP:
More money can not be inject into the country when some people are still hoarding half of the old note with them. The amount of old notes CBN is expected to come back is less than what came in. So the deadline is necessary to allow people hoarding the old notes brings it out before circulating the new ones.

Yeah, but it should have been properly planned naah. This risk you highlighted about people hoarding notes would have been anticipated and mitigation measure put in place. Now more suffering is being added to already exhausted Nigerians, just to take their own money.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good intention by govt but the implementation especially the timing could be done better next time.

Tinubu, a listening president? Hmmmnnn, I need to make some consultations

CBN and Banks messed the whole exercise up by not distributing the new Naira notes quickly and aggressively. I still find fault with the timing but the ship has already sailed.

But SE has been protesting against this disastrous APC govt since 2015. Remember we were called 5% and a dot in a nation by Buhari because we refused to support a clear bad workman.

Now we leave it to SW to protest at least for once. Stop dodging!

I don't listen to El Rufai. He is a hypocrite. A religious and tribal bigot who has mastered the art of outward deception but inside - he is a dangerous man.

Two conflicting information from same APC. Nigeria has had enough, we must go beyond APC on 25th February so that we can regain our sanity.

APC keeps destroying for 8 years. I can't wait for next Saturday.

Silent for same 8 years.

This kind governor na wa ooo! You lost in political game and resorted to all kinds of drama. It will be over very soon and you will go quiet. Ask Amechi and Jonathan. No more noise.

E never finish ooo.

More APC drama still on its way before election. They are now suddenly divided over our legal fiat. Some pretending they are fighting for the masses, na lie ooo! A pecuniary interest is under threat that's why the sudden volte-face.

All APCs' why is Femi pretending as if they(APC) are not the aggressors.
