africanpride1: I just love this man, many that are condemning and abusing him won't achieve half of what he achieved if given chance to be in his shoes. Besides, we all know that Leaders rise from among the followers, if Nigerian masses want better Leader, they should change their greedy mentality first.
Obviously, you don't know the person that Buhari loves and trust most. You don't know that the most favoured and trusted Yoruba for Presidency is Babatunde Fashola, Buhari is a Man of Vision who loves Fashola so much because of what he saw him do in Lagos and dedication to truly uplift the Masses as well as infrastructure. That's why he handed over 4 Massive Ministries to him at same Time! Have you ever heard of such happen before in the whole long History of Nigeria? Did Buhari ever give 4 Ministries to even 1 Fulani Man to Control?! Buhari is truly a good man surrounded by wicked Souls who advice him wrongly, I wish he had many more of the likes of Fashola around him, Nigeria would have been a very sweet Country by now. Those that say Buhari is a tribalist or nepotic don't see far into what has happened, he is a good man who believes that Nigeria should make great Progress. Fashola proved his Visionary Leadership Capacity by taking Lagos to greater heights. Tested and trusted. It's also has become glaring that the Nepa Technocracts Powers-that-be and Generator Importing Cabal are the ones that have behind the Scene fought tooth and nail to scuttle his Relentless Effort to make Electricity stable in Nigeria. As President, he would have enough Authority to deal with them and flush them out, Fashola would be the best Nigerian next President. Like if you agree, Share if not. So you have become useless quoting the post in all the thread I'm nairaland |

Politics › Re: Omokri Challenges 69-Year-Old Tinubu To Dance, Play Football Like Obasanjo At 85 by emmykk(m): 10:32am On Mar 06, 2022 |
Dsalvo: Not a popular opinion but the truth is that most Nigerians are garbage human resources, in comparison to others, and the real reason Nigeria is the way it is.
Omokri is a pathetic and paid sycophants who has a deliberate agenda of deception to aid benefactors like Jonathan, Alison-Madueke, Atiku, PDP etal.
Yet it is the dumb responses Reno gets to his banal comments, meant for grade A olodos who cannot think critically, that is truly sad.
Is Tinubu running to replace Messi at PSG or Ronaldo at MANu?
Also, especially applicable to the dullards egging Omokri on, is OBJ now someone to celebrate and hold up as an example?
OBJ, as PDP President, imposed gangsters, looters and the worst possible calibre of leaders on the SW, as Governors, in his time. That was what OBJ, the "hero", did to his own people and region of origin.
What did Tinubu do? Fought OBJ relentlessly to get rid of "gangster" politics in the SW, 'sanitise' the olitics of the region and replace the goons of OBJ with world reknowned scholars, academics and technocrats like Fashola, Ajimobi, Amosun, Fayemi etal.
It is Tinubu who cleaned the SW political Augean Stables to the extent technocrats, performers and visionary folks from anywhere and any background, the sort who dare not get involved in Nigerian politics during OBJ's reign, can seek political office today and actually be voted into office.
Tinubu is a man always associated with positives and highly appreciated and well-regarded by his political peers far more than OBJ, GEJ, Buhari and other leaders we have had since 1999.
Only an ignoramus or a deliberate mischief-maker, like Omokri, would compare Tinubu with OBJ.
Tinubu, and it is 100% proven, can turn Nigeria round in even 2 years because of the calibre of people he will deploy everywhere and protect uncompromisingly to deliver for Nigeria.
Tinubu, unlike OBJ, Jonathan and even Buhari, does not do political expediency when it comes to critical leadership positions. That is one of his greatest strengths as a leaders others cannot match. It is the reason Lagos is miles ahead of all other Nigerian States today.
The likes of Fashola, Osinbajo, Ambode, Sanwo Olu and literally thousands of others have no business being politicians and would not be that but for Tinubu. Today they are all political leaders with positive achievements attached to their name because of the greatest name in Nigerian contemporary politics i.e Tinubu.
In the end, it is not very hard to see, from their asinine and dumb comment, that most Nigerians are tribalistic, hateful, divisive, wicked, frustrated souls and Lemmings who are incapable of seeing what matters and fully deserve the misrule and terrible Country they've gotten. Tinubu is claiming 69 years old while Obasanjo is 85 years and was seen on a viral video still strong and healthy. Yet Tinubu who by is age is 16years younger is weak which show the Tinubu must be lying over his age and not fit for a president of Nigeria. Leave Reno alone address the message that Reno highlighted. |

Now, what I have observed so far whenever woman give birth, the next questions will be weitin u born? Na boy or girl? . To me, I think this is most annoying question. Why not congratulate the woman first instead of asking unnecessary questions.
Why some Nigerians like asking this question? If you have two boys and two girl already will you be angry if they ask you the sex of the 5th child. I think those that don't like this question mostly are those who felt the girl child is less valued I have two daughters already if I have another one I would felt any thing missing.just that having both sex is good.

These stories don’t add up. NATO, EU should act. Go to where the war is. We on the internet won’t defeat Russia with whatever emotional sentiments they are always trying to whip up with sensationalized articles like these. That is why war is not good because there will be lawlessness so they can afford to rape women if they like.

FavourWrites: Please help me Nairalander! Do I have a medical problem? Why do I forget things a lot?
Here’s the thing, I am someone who forgets things a lot. This may not sound like a big deal to you, but this problem is ruining the relationship I have with people.
There’ll be times when my friends would call telling me to do stuff for them, and the next day when we meet and they ask for the feedback, I’ll be there looking stupid because I didn’t remember them calling me at all. This is a problem because most times they think I faking the fact that I failed to remember.
I’ll be nineteen in a few months but I’m seriously worried for myself. I’m the kind of person who buys about three PEN every single day because I always forget where I dropped the last ones.
Don’t get me wrong, I do well in school, I currently have a 4.8 CGPA. The things I’m taught in school always seem to stick in my head, but every other thing doesn’t.
I have lost a lot of valuable friends because of this. Yes! It’s that bad.
There was a time I had a huge quarrel with a toxic friend, we ended up breaking up our friendship. But when the next semester began, I started wondering why she wasn’t talking to me. I tried approaching her but she ignored me.
I didn’t understand her behavior until the day I was flipping through my diary where I read that I had quarreled with her.
Please, I need help! My mum complains a lot about my behavior! Do I have a medical condition?
This problem is so bad that I had to buy a bracelet that connects my phone to my hand because I have lost count of how many times my phone slipped out of my hands. If not for the sound that my phone makes when it hits the floor, I never would have known that it slipped off my hands.
I can’t write all of the experiences I’ve had, but please I need help! I’m tired of carrying a book Jotter/planner around, and I’m tired of setting an alarm for something small like “TAKE THE CUP BACK TO THE KITCHEN".

All these top politicians, have installed their prodigies in key positions in Nigeria and nothing moves without them. Now, Canada and the US are highly sourcing for Indians. Why? For their IT skills. The wealthiest man in India made internet almost free for all. Hence, the population of Indians online is massive. IT courses are affordable. Nigerians make these IT skills so elusive for the common man because they want to selfishly gain all the profit. You do not know that the owners of some of these IT businesses are Indians. They silently run businesses here and front a black man (uncle tom). Go read about the Indian and Lebanese billionaires in Nigeria. They come here poor or average. have you ever wondered why a brown skin Arab or Indian will always be present in every government building contract? Even to build a small township stadium, an Arab will feature in the picture. You see those towers in Abuja, Lagos- Eko atlantic city are owned by Lebanese and Indians. They are your landlords. They hike the prices. The Viju milk, Gala, relaxer, and even bar soaps are foreign-owned companies. Nigerians are end-users. A dorm of dumps. To build Dangote refinery, Indians were contracted when men are jobless in town. The buyers of the finished product will be Nigerians, not indians. Many managers or HOD of dangote industry is headed by Indians. He empowers these men who are shiit in their own country and afford them security. The brain behind the work is one Nnamdi or Tunde who prostrates to these men.
for a change, demand from local small-scale manufacturers and see how many people will become financial giants in your locality. We are killing ourselves. We keep dividing and fighting while foreigners cash out.
They live like royals in Nigeria and will never integrate with you cos they call you black pigs I hate it when educated people lie and corrupt the mind of people.

I suspect that PDP Presidential ticket will be won by him.
On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.
Dear Patriotic Nigerian and lover of Nigeria, this is just to let you know why Asiwaju Tinubu towers far above HE Atiku and others and state few of the reasons why Asiwaju Tinubu is competent and the most prepared. I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office sirs and mas.
As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory.
It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc.
Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings.
Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. .
The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries. When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances.
Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos . One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it.
That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, create Tutors General offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc. I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma
That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Here's free book on business ideas & money sources directory for you,it's 100% free! https://www.nairaland.com/6666800/looking-business-ideas-money-fund. Cheers.

Nigeriahomebiz: Evil fool.
Justifying evil with cry tales. Compound Goat see what those you are happy to support are doing.. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has alleged that some staff of A Bank defrauded the bank and its customers of N874 million within three days. The agency said this, on Wednesday, when it presented witnesses in an ongoing fraud case. The suspects in the trial are Olusegun Babasola, Abisola Ahmed, Uchechukwu Uma, and Jude Aphaeus, who are staff of the bank, They are being prosecuted for an alleged N874 million fraud before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos. They allegedly played roles in the hacking of the bank’s database and cloning of more than 22 ATM cards used to steal and divert to personal use about N874 million belonging to five corporate customers: American International Insurance Company Limited (AIICO); Interswitch; OVH Energy Marketing Ltd.; Fidelity Bank Sinking Fund Account and FSL Securities Ltd. They pleaded “not guilty” to the charges, which prompted the ongoing trial. At Wednesday’s proceedings, Peter Ige, an Information System Auditor with the bank, narrated how his Department had been called upon to investigate the fraud. Led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Nnaemeka Omewa, the witness identified the four staff of the bank in the dock and gave details of the findings of the internal investigation carried out by his team. “On 15 July, 2019, as a System Auditor, my team was called upon to look at an instant of ATM fraud reported to the Internal Audit and to investigate same. “We observed that the accounts were linked to a set of ATM cards, with their daily withdrawal limits increased from N150,000 to about N150 million,” he said. He further told the court that the permitted frequency of withdrawal was also increased, adding that “this was very abnormal; and so, it aided the commission of the fraud.” Ige also stated that the investigation focused on the members of staff who had authorised privilege and login details to view the accounts of customers and also increase such frequency and limits on withdrawals. “Normally, there should be a request either from the customer or another department requesting the services. “In this case, from our investigation conducted, there was no evidence provided by the defendants to go into these accounts,” he said. He told the court that after the investigation by his department, an activity log was compiled, which formed part of the internal investigation. |
