Why haven't they acted on that yet?
They went mute when niger citizen were decrying poverty and corruption by the democary leaders they so cherished

Same is happening in Nigeria 🇳🇬 now but they act like they're not concerned, but when the military decide to intervene, they will start acting world police ...

The west should sit this one out

#Tinubumustgo

You know the funny thing tinubu and his supporters are so annoying
Wait them dey feel say everybody na mumu for this country.....why are they trying to distance themselves from Buhari's failure....same Buhari tinubu and his followers forced on us!

NIGERIANS THINK!!!!

Why are we so shallow that we get carried it away with rhetoric. Tinubu has carefully and swiftly set up the Nigerian masses for untold hardship and suffering. Forget the media noise and think….. Tinubu and his goons are seriously transferring the few responsibilities borne by the Nigerian federal government to the already suffering masses. Tinubu is only making more funds available to be looted by him and his fellow elites at the expense of the masses.

Fuel Subsidy Removal

The criminals in power have perpetuated the noise about subsidy removal such that Nigerians finally got hoodwinked. But ask… at whose expense?

Why should the masses bear the responsibility of the inefficiency of the FG?,

why can’t the FG protect the boarders to ensure subsidized PMS does not get to neighboring countries?

Why has the FG not prosecuted and jailed anyone involved in the subsidy fraud to stop others from doing so?,

The claim that subsisdy is a burden is fallacy cos the subsidizing the actual consumption of less than 10million liters per day is not a burden compared to the FG’s current fraudulent claim of 66million liters per day. Why not a gradual removal of the subsidy?

Where is the savings from Diesel and kerosene subsidy and what has it been used for?

Why the haste to remove subsidy without any re-investment plan nor true succor for the masses most affected by this move?

Anybody with half a sense will know that the current subsidy removal mode and process is not in the interest of the Nigerian masses irrespective of the narrative they put forward. Six months from now, Nigerians will feel the real impact of this move while Tinubu and his goons fleet away with the funds that would have been used to subsidize the true volumes of PMS for the Nigerian people.

Student Loan Scheme

The student loan bill is a plot by the Tinubu led FG t to stop funding tertiary education in Nigeria leading to the end all education subsidy. Who do you think are the final beneficiaries of these moves, same criminals who will end up looting the funds meant to fund the tertiary education. What exactly is the role of the Nigerian FG if they relinquish every responsibility to the masses? What sacrifice has the political class made in all these mess? Have their allowances being reduced? Any efforts at stopping the lootings?

Do you know Students will now access loan at the value of the private universities (500K+ per session)?

How will the children of the poor attend tertiary institution?....hush before you mention student loan. The student loan bill is only good on paper, it is not sustainable in the long term in a country with an unemployment rate of 35%. Who will steward the loans?... another looting avenue opened for the Abuja boys. Over time, it will become obvious it can’t work, corruption will make a mess of it…… the bureaucracy that will be associated with assessing the loan will be another mess.

And by the time the dust settles and has become a confirmed failure, education subsidy will be gone for good and only the big boys will end up with tertiary education



It may also mark the end of national ASUU because ASUU can no longer fight the government

for any policy enacted by their individual university.

Good one from Lagos state. We should encourage our locally made products. Nobody hate Igbo. What we are saying is that, determine who rules Anambra, Eungu, Abia, imo and Ebonyi. Let us determine who rules Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun and Osun so there's no hatred at all.

Canada has now landed 267,000 immigrants this year. It will need to land 134,000 more immigrants between October and December to achieve its 401,000 newcomer target. This works out to about 45,000 new permanent residents per month. Canada also recently lifted its ban on flights from India, which is Canada’s leading source of immigrants.

With this development, let's be hopefully ITAs and PPR will be dished out massively soonest. Live your life, plan and pray.. It will all end in praise

WesternPanzer:
Every idioot now has an opinion in Nigeria. The iddiot wan become celebrity too. Sweerve joor.

Who be this animal kwanu? Son of a street tout now calling out Psquare? Ndigbo, una see wetin una do unaselves?

By interfering and investing where you shouldn't be investing, this is the result. Every iddiot will have opinion in your life. Who be Toyin Abrams? Who be this son of a tout?

See the imbe cruising in a car but most APC urchins here on Nairaland don't even have a bicycle.

If not for general stupidity of my brothers, when Yoruba or Hausa begin get levels where Igbo people dey? Na una dey allow them marry your daughters. Same iddiots will turn around tomorrow and call them BASTARDDS.

You make beautiful daughters with your Top Igbo genes, then allow these people to come and marry them. Tueh

Ndigbo, Time To Face Homeland. Yes .. It doesn't matter. I really love what happened in this election. This is a clear reminder that we don't have friends or brothers in Nigeria. This is not a victim mentality thing. I really loved what happened in this election.

STOP CALLING ANOTHER PERSON'S LAND A NO MANS LAND AND STOP INTERFERING IN THEIR POLITICS.

YORUBA IS YORUBA. IGBO IS IGBO. WE ARE NOT SAME AND CAN NEVER BE THE SAME.

Maybe this will trigger the Igbos to use THEIR FULL POTENTIALS AND MIGHT TO DEVELOP OUR HOMELAND.

Am not here to insult any tribe or people. But Ndigbo, this is an opportunity to unite and build our Homeland.

Ndigbo we can do this.

If you use this opportunity to unite and form a formidable front... You will see where you will be in the next 10 years.

No politician in this era can survive the obstacle Asiwaju surmounted if he eventually gets declared by INEC.

--Currency change hardship
--Induced fuel Scarcity
--Muslim-Muslim ticket in an almost 50/50 nation
--Propaganda from some section of CAN
--Propaganda against his person, age, wealth, and etc
--A hostile cabal
--Buhari I don't care attitude
--Some extremely woke Yoruba youth voting against him
--A christian North with mind made up

The North kept their word eventually. The Northern governor are the MVP. It is not easy for them back home too because Buhari government caused lot of damage at some point.

The biggest surprise in the North Central. Who would have imagined Tinubu getting even 25% for Benue and Nassarawa with all the propaganda by some religious bigots. Asiwaju cleared Kogi, Kwara, Niger, and did well in some other states in the NC.

South-South has proven that they have a mind of their own. Akwa Ibom is like a big surprise and even Bayelsa. How do you explain Tinubu winning Jonathan LG.

New alliance have been forged in this election.
Igbo + Northern christian alliance is very strong as seen.
SW + North alliance is very strong too. They exceeded my expectation.
NC + SW alliance cemented
SW + Some SS cemented
SE + Some SS cemented

A good man... He voted for obi

PrinceOfLagos:
Why is nobody in south west genuinely endorsing Tinubu?

It is either they are endorsing Peter Obi or they are endorsing Atiku

Nobody seems to be endorsing Tinubu in this election despite the billions he has spent from Lagos state government purse to get people endorse him

Elvis2kay:
Have in mind only the Peter Obi and Ahmed Yusuf Datti Baba is sure of winning in 2 regions, south east and South South. Tinubu is sure of south west and Atiku is sure of north east while Kwankaso is sure of north west. Now this is the tricks if Tinubu is disappointed in the north west ,he is out. If ATIKU is disappointed in the south east and South South he is out and the good news is that our weakest region is the north west which will be sheared between Atiku, kuwankasso , Tinubu we gonna definitely win southern Kaduna and 3 states in north central with the massive votes of Lagos and other states in the south west we have won. Mathematically is either we win on the 1st round of go for run off. Obideiant nobody should get panic, don't mind their mind games

FuckFuckPastor:
Deji Adeyanju, a BATist masquerading as Fencist, has accused the North of 'systematically' betraying Tinubu. He alleged that all major religious leaders in the (northern) region have endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

He also accused Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party, of masterminding the endorsements Atiku is getting in the North.



https://twitter.com/adeyanjudeji/status/1629016277275533312?t=UG5-ciIrYv0h0K2bMrz7Ug&s=19[/quote]Thats Deji Opinion and we must respect his opinion. Anyone disagree should state his own not to abuse him. All this thing will over soon.

ochejoseph:
It was Peter Drucker who said that "effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes". This Saturday offers millions of Nigerians especially young people the opportunity to look beyond emotions, tribal affiliation, or religious sentiments to elect a President with a proven capacity to lead us out of the current mess we have found ourselves.

The purpose of this write-up is to help us look at the vital areas of national development and the capacity of the leading candidates to deliver based on their experience and antecedents.

Education: In terms of educational qualifications, Atiku is the most educationally qualified among the leading candidates, with an MSc in International relations from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. Obi has an average Bachelor's in Philosophy from UNN, while Tinubu has a questionable degree in accounting from the United States.

In terms of their contribution to education, Atiku is far above his competitors towering above them in terms of direct and indirect contributions to the development of education in Nigeria. As Vice President, his passion for education led him to directly intervene in the plight of Anambra school children who were left at home for over two years by Mbadinuju, it was also under the OBJ - Atiku led government that the Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme was launched.

Atiku built Africa's first development university, the American University of Nigeria where rescued Chibok girls were given scholarships. He has also vowed to pay all the withheld and outstanding salaries owed ASUU members and other university workers to underscore his commitment to education.

Tinubu, on the other hand, has no history of support for education beyond a few secondary schools he built during his tenure as governor of Lagos, same goes for Obi and none of them have also gone back to school to earn an additional degree since leaving school.

Peter Obi's record on ASSU strikes and lecturer welfare is also abysmal. Under him, University students stayed at home for years while he owed some educational workers for 36 months.

Job Creation: If there is one qualification the next Nigerian leader needs is the ability to create jobs. Tinubu is the worst when it comes to this benchmark because even though he eats from virtually every taxpayer in Lagos, he has no business that creates real jobs in manufacturing or other key sectors that drive the economy.

Obi is not far behind because as a trader, Obi's major supermarket businesses are import-based most of which take jobs from Nigeria and send them overseas to countries where those goods are manufactured. In contrast, Atiku's businesses are massive creators of jobs. In some states, Atiku is the highest employer of labour after the government because his companies are into manufacturing, agro-based products, and other key drivers of job creation in the economy.

Power: No economy can develop without power. Energy generation is the single reason why most companies are not making profits even banks are now closing early because of the prohibitive cost of power generation. Peter Obi travelled all the way to Egypt to learn about power generation yet he does not know the meaning of "green energy"! This is after 8 years as governor of one of Nigeria's biggest states.

Tinubus's credentials in power generation are far better than Obi's because he single-handedly championed the Lagos state Independent Power Project (IPP) handled by the American Company, ENRON to generate 90 megawatts of electricity which led to some improvements in power supply in Lagos.

Atiku's first-class hands-on experience in the areas of power generation and transmission is one area Nigeria stands to benefit from when elected into office. The OBJ - Atiku-led administration built or started most of the power-generating entities we have in Nigeria today. The PDP-led administration of Jonathan and Sambo completed the rest.

Healthcare: Tinubu and Obi's records in the provision of healthcare are also very poor. Under Obi, Anambra State Government employed medical doctors were on strike for 13 months as a result of his refusal pay the right salary, poor conditions of service, and lack of proper working equipment, Nigeria cannot afford such tragedy. Lagos under Tinubu had healthcare centers that are known for delivering the worst healthcare services. The claim that Tinubu met one functional ambulance as Governor is also false.

Atiku even as a private citizen is actively involved in the provision of healthcare for Nigerians beyond what he did while serving as vice president between 1999-2007. Long after leaving office, Atiku Abubakar went into partnership with the Saudi German Hospital to establish a 100-bed hospital and referral center in Abuja among many other interventions in the health sector.

Security: We cant talk about the 2023 presidential elections without talking about who among the candidates has the experience to tackle our current security challenges. It is a fact that the Obasanjo-Atiku era is the most peaceful period since our country transitioned to democracy.

It was a period when the term bandits was alien to our dictionary. As the number two man in that government, Atiku has the requisite skills and experience to rejig our current security system like they did between 1999 to 2007. Obi, on the other hand, lacks experience in security matters which explains why the Ezu River tragedy where hundreds of people were murdered under his watch is still a mystery. Tinubu on the other hand lacks the energy needed for a robust engagement and monitoring that our collapsing security architecture requires.

Preparedness: Its unfortunate that Tinubu the "Emi Lokan" coroner appears totally confused and directionless after being handed his party ticket. To date, he does not have a real policy document, the entire APC manifesto of 2015 he helped prepare which they disowned and failed to implement has suddenly formed the foundation of the documents they released recently. Tinubu also fumbled when it came to naming a running mate resorting to placeholders, even when he finally found one it was a one-sided Muslim Muslim aggregation that is currently tearing the nation apart at a time religious sensitivity is at an all-time high. A man who does not know how to comport himself when the National Anthem of his country is being recited or played is not ready to lead.

Peter Obi towers above Tinubu when it comes to his level of preparedness even though he also employed the services of placeholders for running mate, his inexperience in handling responsibilities at the national level is a minus. Like Tinubu, Obi has no real policy document that tells Nigerians what he plans to do if they vote for him. Beyond mad men's tales and vomiting crammed statistics most of which are wrong, the LP presidential candidate does not appear ready to lead a complex nation like Nigeria.

Atiku and the PDP on the other hand appear to be the most prepared candidate and political party. Atiku is the only candidate that wrote and released his policy document with a clear blueprint of what he intends to do when elected into office. He named his running mate on schedule, inaugurated his multi-ethnic and multi-religious campaign council, and flagged off his campaign council right on time as directed by INEC.

Conclusion
Those who have mismanaged our country are always happy to see us disunited when it comes to the choice of a presidential candidate because as long as we are divided we will always enthrone our oppressors. Nigeria does not need a President that will learn on the job, Nigeria does not need a rookie to experiment or complicate an already messed up system, what Nigeria needs is an Experienced Atiku Abubakar to reset our country, get it working again and return her to the path of greatness.

May God Help Us to Help Ourselves This Saturday!!!!

God Bless Nigeria!!!

This is all part of APC's plan B. Their plan A has been abandoned. APC is no more interested in winning the election through the polls
APC now intends to win through the courts. The APC believe they have a silver bullet in the mode of the Supreme Court.
This is where the recruitment of Wike comes into play. The APC knows they can't win the election through the ballot. There is no mathematical path for them to win. They have known this for months now, that's why they were trying to get the elections postponed, in order to buy more time.
Since that failed, they moved to plan B: which is to get the Supreme Court to disqualify the winner: Obi on the grounds that ANAP and the Obidients forced INEC to help them rig the election.
If you've noticed, INEC is yet to release the total number of PVC holders ready for the election.
Remember Fashola was asking for the data.
That is the first claim APC will make.
Their second claim will be to disqualify Obi on the grounds that Obi is constitutionally not qualified to be president because he's not the legitimate LP presidential candidate. The other guys who contested alongside Obi will be recruited as witnesses.
The APC will try to use these baseless claims to get the Supreme Court to disqualify the winner, Obi, and declare the runner up: Tinubu, as the winner.
This is why they have been testing court judgments for the past 2 months. Remember all the funny court judgments that the courts have been throwing out there.
All that is to test the mentality and patience of the populace.
This is the plan by APC now.
Forget about the peace accord. Tinubu will not accept the results. He will claim he has been rigged and will head to court to contest the results. He is counting on Wike's closeness to judges, and the CJN. This is why the US has cast a spotlight on the Supreme Court judges. The US is already aware of their plans.
The first hurdle is the election, the next will be the courts.

GExcess:
The desperation of all this old criminals is getting out of hand, they're envying the natural and overwhelming love Peter Obi is receiving but they can't voice it out cos of shame.

Who would've thought that a structureless party would be leading so far right now 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ God bless Peter Gregory Obi the next president of Federal Republic of Nigeria

Realdon1:
Shame shame shame on useless Simon Ekpa and Tinubus urchins. Tinubu will soon request for his refund of $1m from him. Igbos are very wise ppl. Come and see busy roads in Owerri and orlu. I just left orlu now to Owerri for Lp meeting.
Youths have got their odeshi waiting for useless Simon and his ugm. Army is everywhere waiting for them.
Obi must be president, and Simon Ekpa will expire in 48hrs time.

Confusedgirlie:
Before I left Canada for Nigeria in 2020, I had heard severally that it was very lonely there for Nigerian immigrants. I didn't quite understand what people meant exactly when they said this. However, over time I now have a very good understanding of this particular challenge with migration. Here are some of the things I've learnt on the way. But first, a little background about me.

I'm an introvert and I like my introversion. It gives me a lot of time to think and to be in my own space which I enjoy a lot. I read, write and love to watch documentaries. Those are the three most important things to me in life. When I lived in Nigeria, I lived a mostly secluded life that didn't have a lot of people in it. Regardless, it wasn't boring to me. I went out when I wanted to and took my time for my own activities.

Since being in Canada, my observations have been that it is a lot lonelier here. The reasons are very obvious: there are not a lot of people around me from a culture I'm familiar with (Nigeria), so it's definitely a lot more difficult to interact with others. That's one key point. Another is that I don't really have to go out to purchase things (even groceries), compared to when I was in Nigeria. I can simply order everything I need while sitting in the comfort of my home. Hence, the temptation is to go this way. In addition, I don't have family around, so I'm mostly by myself. And finally, the few friends I have are often busy, so there's hardly time to get together.

That's about it. I think these are some of the challenges Nigerian immigrants face. But the real question is, do I feel lonely?

The honest answer to that is a No. I find that my life is exactly the same way I lived it in Nigeria, only a lot more convenient and comfortable. I can't trade this for anything. In addition, as an introvert who likes to be by herself anyways, it's just a lot more enjoyable.

Nevertheless, there are steps I'm planning to take to change a few things. I am now taking more opportunities to actually go out and buy things even if I don't have to, e.g groceries, clothes, etc. Secondly, I say hello first to strangers and neighbours and get to ask them a few questions. This I wouldn't have done on the first place. Finally, I downloaded a social media application called clubhouse and have been making new friends in my area using this. As a cautious person, I'm taking baby steps here and not jumping straight into friendships I may not like.

Overall, what do I think of being in Canada as an introvert? I enjoy it. My life and choices are a lot better and I find that I have the time to do much more than I was doing back in Nigeria, not hampered by lack of power or resources.

My advice to others is to gauge their expectations carefully as they come to Canada with or without family. It can be lonely here, but that's not because Canada itself is lonely. It's just because you need to dig deep and find yourself in a new country where family is absent and culture is unfamiliar.
