He steps down for an ancestor like Atiku who will be living in a London hospital as usual

PDP is Cursed
Nigeria is cursed.

Emm...Sir, you happen to reside in Nigeria. Does it mean you're also cursed?

Nigeria isn't cursed, we just don't know we have the power elect good leaders and hold bad ones accountable.

Such a political neophyte. He scammed lots of Nigerian intellectuals by advertising his presidential intentions

No matter the excuse he gave or gives , he is not to be trusted again .

We want men of timber and calibre to contest or to win not some lily livered individual

Honestly, Peter Obi's decision to leave PDP has even endeared him to all those who are seeking true change. We all know PDP = APC and if one truly wants a drastic change we have to shift focus from these two parties. Obi's penchant for being prudent and accountable will not work with PDP as his foundation. Can you imagine the level of corruption going on within APC and PDP.

PDP's flag bearer for governorship elections in Rivers is no other than the state's accountant general Fubara who is being wanted by the EFCC for laundering 485 billion Naira! Just imagine that and Wike is hell bent on installing him to cover his tracks.

I'm sold to Peter Obi's manifesto, we can't keep consuming and borrowing to steal. We should all come out and support him.

If we still prefer APC or PDP...well the sweet is still going round e go soon reach everybody.

You will just die for nothing..yimu.

I did mine 2005/2006. which department were you in?

Laboratory

Back in 2006, when I did my IT at ExxonMobil Qua Iboe terminal Ibeno, it was possible. You only had to pass the aptitude test which was hellish and almost impossible.

What you can also do is find local oil services companies that do jobs for Total, Mobil, Shell etc and voila! you're in.

Seriously, you guys wake up and carry this Russian Ukraine war on your heads like gala.

Nigeria is presently on the brink and at war with itself and all you do is bicker about two countries who don't give a flying f***k about your opinions?

We have an election coming up that would either wreck us further or save future generations. We need to stop misplacing our priorities and focus on how Nigeria can be salvaged from thess thieving politicians.

Seriously

Do we really need the Global index to know Nigerians feel totally miserable under this "regime"? We are all feeling it, even Buhari's praise singers.

The shared sweets has indeed reached everybody

...If he finishes now, we want him to go and rest in Kaduna or Daura, we don’t want him to go to the International Criminal Court, that is not the idea....

Don't be smart by half! He will still be charged for "willful negligence" and reluctance to reign in on his murderous tribesmen the Fulani herdsmen.

All I see here is edible Cholesterol

Nothing new here.
If they can pardon and pamper terrorists under the tag, " repentant Book Haram " & " Business men aka - bandits". Why won't they pardon a sleazy, money embezzling, no-good politician to serve their nefarious biddings.

Again, I'll pass. Nothing fazes me again with the doings of this corrupt and clueless APC government.

Wow. What an achievement!

Leaving this shithole for my sanity's sake.
How can you spend over a billion Naira purchasing liabilities?

Why not use this fund in educating and empowering your youths. These old hags have absolutely nothing to offer except weaponising poverty and using religion to get the uneducated to do their evil biddings.

PDP doesn't know how to play opposition

Please sir how do you play opposition

Walk of shame.
Have we ever thought of what would happen if one western ruler decides to forcefully annex Nigeria to have access to our resources? Absolutely nothing! we'd be sitting helpless ducks because we depend solely on the west to survive.

Shameless country.

Seriously wonder who writes all this statements for Buhari to read. That person is plain evil.

This fraud of a governor single handedly wreaked Cross River State. As in ehn Calabar looks like a ghost town.

He is dirty, thieving and sleazy, joined APC to escape probing and being accountable. I pray APC frustrates the sh*t of him.

Cryptobits:
Important Lessons from 2020

Here are a handful of lessons from 2020.

1: My degrees do not count for much. When it comes to the business of wealth accumulation, career, personal development or goal setting, it’s who we are, what you know and your experience that matters. My boss told me to leave a 4-year job in search of more experienced people. He would rather bring his friend as a senior Project Manager than promote me.

2: Turn your hobbies into equities. I started my business and has earned my $100k in as little as 5 months. I have been featured on Channels TV, TV Continental and BellaNaija while making many respectful connections too as a result.

3: The power of laughter. In my business, I have been able to retain clients through pure light comedic inputs in our interactions.

4: Anticipate – Plan for things well in advance and always assume they will fail. Trip to Nigeria, passport needs renewal in February. I had Nigeria in mind but failed to plan for it but instead ended getting the most expensive ticket.

5: Forget Short-cuts. Muna has cost me N6.5 million in trying to help me change my Naira to Dollars with favourable exchange rates. I realise the short cuts of trying to get a better exchange rate and turn it into more is not profitable. It has rather cost me more. The source of the funds are questionable while she has also added 5 months delay in refunding the money.

6: Materials don’t have much value, experience does. Unfortunately, Covid-19 did not allow me to travel as I promised myself I would. This could have been helped. I still maintain that life is a collection of experience than rather money momentum. I realised I could have created better experience for myself in the process.

7: Self-care is absolute. Prioritise my me-time. That time I spend on my thoughts, body, making decision at work, with friends are all key.

8: Money is important - Working towards being financially literate with the overall objective of financial freedom, it has made me a person of value. I have, through this process, been able to master the power of control.

9. Dedication of myself to charity has been satisfying. A certain portion of my earnings has been dedicated to helping some less fortunate. While it’s difficult, I will continue to do this.

10: I have mastered patience. Through my business, my work with children of all ages, I have been learnt immense patience. If you are looking to learn to be patient, I will advise you to work with your children, cousins or nieces, there’s a great deal you can learn from them.

11: Don’t be confined to your comfort zone. Push yourself to the edge of it. By so doing, you will not limit yourself nor your progress. If you however push yourself too hard, you will overburden yourself with anxiety and worry. Some of the adjustments I have made are: Cutting expenses until I arrive at the point that I am living more frugally to what I have defined for myself on paper.
Dedicating myself more to my business to the point of matching doubling last year’s earnings is a goal.

At the start of 2020, my goals included:
• While I was in Nigeria in 2020, Covid-19 restricted more travel and there was not much I could have done. (Score – 85%)
• Workout and build lean muscle mass. (Score – 20%)
• Develop stronger relationships with meaningful friends. (Score – 80%)
• My greatest success was being able to start my Investment Company and establishing a real presence among a community of thousands of people. (Score – 90%)
• I hope to involve some amount of life on the road this year dedicated towards entertainment. I regret the life I denied myself of in 2020, however, I hope to make this change and not let it repeat itself. (Score – 20%)
Overall, we all had the experience, I had the lesson.

Here are some of my Major 2021 plans, as of now (these are subject to change):

Business Goals:
• Finish recording my Investment Course by January end 2021.
• Get up to 1000 people trained by middle of the year.

The question was how much is chicken in your area?? In 2022 always resist the urge to shalaye.

Deluded president. We are more divided than ever. No national cohesion, most tribes see themselves as superior species over others. The annoying part is our self serving politicians keep hammering Nigeria's indivisibility because it suites their power seeking agenda.

She loves the nashural parfum. Hehehe

This man speak from both sides of the mouth

I'm afraid you have issues with comprehension.

I'm also guilty of making calls while charging my phone. What a sad way to go

RIP bro.

BMC: One thing I like about Buhari is that he doesn't steal, he is not corrupt.

Me: No be WINCH be that!

Issa simple stuff.

You can't loose what wasn't yours to collect in the first place.

Infact they should return all they have collected in the past.

The village strikes back. RIP bro. This world is a crazy and mysterious place.

How about the IDPs suffering from the actions of these blood suckers?

A sensible and reasonable government will focus on resettling and compensating the IDPs for not securing their lives and properties before considering the terrorists.

But then again ours is an imbecilic government.

Isn't God wonderful? They can't wait to lay their leprous hands on the 30% they allocated to themselves. I actually don't blame them. It's the greedy, corrupt and self centered representatives and senators from the south I blame.

Seriously Buhari is the real definition of an evil genius not the infamous IBB. How this man was able to project and sell a totally false image of himself to gullible Nigerians will be subject of research and in-depth studies in the coming future.

For those supporting and encouraging the president despite his glaring failure, nepotism and his ethno- religious agenda you are definitely not patriotic

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.

Why aren't we asking the tough questions? Why aren't we demanding that the president be impeached before he plunges this nation into a full scale ethno - religious war. Hasn't he failed woefully in all governmental key performance indices.

Someone tell me why Buhari hasn't been impeached.
