I have challenged dancing senator to tell Osun state people how Oyetola had been sharing Osun state money with Tinubu as he alleged on channels TV during debate. He should tell Nigerians bcoz we want to know. Politicians can say anything to get public sympathy. We want to know if truly it's Tinubu that is responsible for the low development of Osun.

PoliticsRe: E-transmission Of Poll Results: INEC To Meet NCC, Telcos, On Tuesday by Eriokanmi: 7:43pm On Dec 05, 2022
dochenaj:
NCC should give INEC waiver to operate their mobile transmission stations especially in areas with no stable internet connectivity.
There's nothing like network instability jare. See them this December as they'd be calling and sending money to their loved ones with their phones, using same network in thjse villages. I remember the apc man who always grants interview to channels TV all the way from Birnin Kudu. We always hear him clearly. Inec is hooked on all the network providers so there can't be network issues. It worked well in osun, ekiti, Anambra and some bye elections across the country where inec ran it with 90% success. Leave them alone, they've failed.

I can imagine some politicians paying heavily for professional hackers
If they could fail in osun, they'd also fail next year. Nobody had hacked into my accounts since I opened them. Banks use same network which inec had paid heavily for. The majority of those corrupt politicians would be in their various villages this December, calling people, transferring money to their loved ones even browse
the Internet and grant Channels TV interviews. Only when there's an election they always raise fake concerns cos of their selfish agenda.

I'd see how someone from borno would travel 3 days to get to abuja this time. Same abuja they could reach in less than one hr by air. They'd be forming logistical reasons meanwhile they're inside an abuja hotel manipulating figures as southern states results are being announced.

He can't afford to fail the osun people. He broke so many jinx, courtesy those who believed in him. Its very difficult to defeat tinubu wherever he had his grip. Oyetola's defeat is Tinubu's defeat. One, he's his first cousin. Secondly, he's from same town of iragbiji as oyetola and 3rdly, oyetola is one of his confidants. He headed his company in lagos for mamy years. I was shocked myself. Lagos is next

Dear friends anybody that campaign for APC is either for tribalism sake or religion sake, but honestly these are the reasons Nigeria has not moved forward since 1960. Please dear friends there are lots of pains and suffering in this country. Let us try another Party. America and other developed countries are moving forward because of their mode of voting. They have two major party which are Democrat and Republicans. If Democrat misrule they will vote them out of the governance and replace them with Republicans and vice-versa. This make them to be extremely care and put them on checked. If you leave only APC they will not learn from they mistakes rather they will do the worst. So people supporting APC don't see it as that people hate APC but to put them on checked. If you don't get them out of the system now they'll not change nor rethink.
Don't bother wasting your energy on this. I dey same lagos where Tinubu hails from. I've not seen a sensible Nigerian who said he's going to vote apc again. The majority of those backing him are thugs, agbero and some shallow-minded peeps. Maybe if he had come out under another party shaa oo, some people would have given him consolation votes. Buhari had destroyed the apc beyond redemption. We all go to same market so, nobody would tell you things are good. Do you know a dollar is 700 plus today, what they said was too high at 250 naira in 2015? Their sin plenti my broda. Like I keep saying, we shall meet at the polls.

Reading comments made me realise alot of Nigeria's are gullible and lost.
This is a man showing how government is suppose to run.
Tinubu government is not a one man government.
He is a body of like-minded individuals.
He is letting people who are familiar with certain fields to defend questions about subject matters instead of acting all knowing and giving false variations like some people.
Nigeria will be great.
So, why didn't buhari throw questions at Tinubu, Dele Alake, etc during his Chatham house visit ahead of the 2015 election? Then Buhari must be much better than Tinubu today back then. Don't think everyone is stupid.

They reminded Buhari of his rule of tyranny in the 80s...he didn't ask Tinubu or uncle dele to speak for him. Let me remind you of what he said...he said, though he was a former dictator but now, a reformed Democrat....see applause! What an intelligent response! Guy, no matter how hard you try to sell this man, oja okukun ko loruko meji, it's still called bad market. That's who tinubu is.

BusinessIdea Tips For The Nigerian Youths, Including Those In The Diaspora by Eriokanmi(op):
Hello all,

I'd be willing to share some tips with you free of charge which could sharpen your life and make you become financially independent for life.

There are millions of opportunities which we don't see because of our myopic mindset on business engagements. I just woke up this morning and thought of the best way to reach out to the Nigerian youths out there, including those struggling to make ends meet in the Diaspora. I'm not a politician but a businessman to the core and I manage my time very well and despite my extremely busy schedule, I try to create time for beneficial ideas for others who may care to not keep saying yes sir for life.

Like I've always said, only the brave can bite the bullet. You cannot pick naira or dollar on the floor without making some sacrifices like time, finance ( no matter how small) and energy. Go and ask those doing money rituals which even has daring consequences. They'd tell you how far they tend to go to achieve their heinous aim.

Each time I contribute to any topic that has to do with japaing and some do differ on my stance against it, I just shake my head. They don't see the opportunities we see. You've got to be idealistic and in a unique way to achieve anything and stand out in life. The nairaland.com platform, Linda Ikeji Blog, etc were brought about by ideas...a unique one for that matter.

That said, I have some free tips for the Nigerian youths, none of which those politicians they're supporting would give them.
As a young man in my early 20s back in the days. I always loved to study new things and thanks to the advent of the Internet. I had my nysc same year GSM came to Nigeria and I happened to be among the young Nigerians who learned how to browse the Internet in the city of Ibadan in a first ever broadband based ISP cafe at Ring Road. While I'd pay for a night browsing, searching for opportunities abroad, my peers would be busy watching porn all through the night , or looking for foreign female fiends on friendfinder.com, Hotmail messenger and yahoo messenger. One day I jammed a programme in a foreign land and tapped into it. In 2004, I travelled for the very first time ever , out of the country and destination was New York. That was the beginning of my relevance I'd say.

After the programme, I stayed a few months looking for opportunities. I found one and came back home with it and the rest was history. I've been to DisneyLand times without number and several interesting places across the globe. The idea I brought home made me to sit with president Obama at the DAR Hall as the only invitee from black Africa. Its about ideas which they say, rule the world. Those colleagues of mine whom I left behind when returning to Nigeria are neither here nor there today. It's not by power but we reasoned differently. There was a time I visited disneyland in CA and looked round...I didn't see a single black with their family and I wondered...don't blacks too have time for fun? It boils down to deas which pave ways for success and total freedom.

Recently I watched on Foxnews where Elon Musk was planning to delve into Healthcare. Microsoft too is coming up with AIM ( Artificial Intelligence in Medicine). Microsoft came to educate us at a conference which I attended in 2018 at Anaheim, CA on AIM. We would probably be the first company in West Africa to introduce this in the health sector. What am I saying? Ideas! Nobody would draw you out of poverty except yourself, not even the political candidates we're supporting. You can only sit neck on neck with them with your ideas. Mark Zuckerberg became prominent cos of ideas. Stop working from morning till night all year round. Create time for idea that works.

Here are the tips...

Create time to attend conferences. There are thousands of conferences which are available on the Internet. Google it and verify authenticity. There are conferences that match your academic backgrounds like science, engineering, agriculture, oil and gas or perrol chemicals, robotics, techs, etc. Amazingly, registration into most of them are free. By attending those conferences, you'd meet people that matter, companies who are yearning to pemetrate foreign markets but don't know how to go about it cos they had no local partners in those foreign markets. You can become one of those beneficiaries. There's a product we introduced to the Oil and Gas sometime ago, now, we're a market leader. I met them at a conference overseas. The moment they saw my country on my name tag, which I wore, they rushed to meet me and directed me to their booths as if they've been waiting for me. The rest has been history today.

Search for short courses in universities abroad, even it is a certificate programme. From there you'd meet more opportunities. I'm a beneficiary of this. I remember the day I told my friend I was going to USA embassy for my visa interview. He said, you want them to use your money to grow flower too abi? I got my visa on a virgin passport and travelled for the first time. I had never travelled anywhere before that time. The rest had become history, all thanks to God given ideas.

Create time for foreign trainings in relevant fields. Work towards your leave period and apply. Everything is there on the internet my people. Even if the training programme is in Dubai or SA, it doesn't matter, register and go. There are opportunities over there which aren't available here. Tap into it apppy for your visa by yourself and go, DIY! I remember a similar one I attended in dubai in 2013. I met an Indian who engaged me in a chat. He said but many of your people don't see what we see, you know. He was from Chennai. We spoke at length. Again, during my 6hr flight from Baltimore, MD in 2019 to LA, I was seated close to an Indian who said he was going to San Diego where he lives. He said a lot about Nigerians. He said we're not so enterprising despite our high level of intelligence. He said we live in the midst of plenty yet, suffering.
I can say boldly that nobody sponsored my first trip to America, i was working where I earned so little but I was focused . I saved every penny I earned towards achieving my goals. While my mates were renting apartments, driving cars, even building houses, I was busy investing in ideas which finally paid off. None of them can boast of the kind of house or Company i built today...I mean none. Your story too can be like this.

Read widely and stop fighting everyone on social media with your precious time and data because, on reading lies great opportunities. In early 2000s after my nysc, I had a friend who used to read newspapers like I did. There, he saw his state's scholarship which he applied to. Luckily for him, he was taken and he jetted out to the UK. After his master's programme, he came back. One day he learnt his university in UK where he graduated from, had recommended him for his PHD due to his brilliant performance in another uni in Europe. Now, he's an employer of labour in Nigeria, doing very well. This was a son of a nobody, just like me.

Early 90s, my uncle who brought Xantrex Engineering to Nigeria from America hit his luck through reading. He too japa early 90s after he resigned voluntarily from Union Bank, Dugbe Branch. He was employed by Walmart as storekeeper. He said before he left, he had made up his mind he wasn't going to stay long in America cos he was going there to tap opportunities. Each time he closed from work he'd stop at a Mexican vendor's place and read papers. Afterall , house was dry as nobody was there to relate with unlike in Nigeria where you can barge into your neighbour's house unannounced and ask what he had inside his fridge. You're just alone over there so he sat and read papers as usual. There he saw an advert of Xantrex Engineering. He quickly thought of the power Challenges at home and wrote to them. They rejected his application for a distributor for 2 reasons. One, they didn't believe he'd do well being a new tech in the African matket. Secondly, they weren't ready to expand to Africa as of then. My uncle felt bad but wasn't discouraged. 3 weeks after, they wrote to him they'd reconsidered his application and should come for 2 weeks training FOC!. He jetted to the state from GA to take the training. He was told to come back home with free samples for demonstration which he did. All Nigerians over there told him that village people had come calling. They said he must be stupid to take such a step of returning home where there was no job and people were in abject poverty. He didn't listen to them.

A long story cut short, he headed to CBN Hq to market the product. The directors laughed at him and said they'd not need it cos they had 3 standby generators already. He said , but it's free. Reluctantly, they allowed him install one at the IT department where they had all their gadgets and data house. He now left. Barely 6 months later, 2 gens had packed up due to a collapsed national grid. They were running on gen always. The 3rd one also packed up so there was pandemonium in the CBN. On getting to the IT room, the directors discovered the staff were working unhindered. The Xantrex Power Technology did the magic. My uncle was just thinking of the next place to visit that morning when he got a call from CBN. He was asked to install some units there and in all the CBN branches nationwide. When the ATM revolution came to Nigeria, the cbn instructed some of the reliable commercial banks to patronise only my uncle. Today, he's a multi billionaire. Same company that first refused to deal with him now gave him the global distributor of the year...3 years back to back.

So, that's all I have for you guys. If you want to japa, japa but with sense. Go and bring into Nigeria great opportunities that will change your life, those around you and that of your entire family for life. And to my people in the Diaspora, there were challenges before you left and there would always be, as they are in every nation of the world. In the 80s, my inlaws relocated to the south west because of religous conflicts in zaria. Don't get scared because of the things you hear. Think of Indians, Pakistanis, Britons, EUs and worse still Chinese who keep thronging Nigerian space despite all the scary news you hear. There must be something they're looking for. They come with only ideas and become super rich in less than 5 years. Good luck!

But why waste your precious time on the Dapson73 of a guy. Let me remind you of something...they're afraid of defeat which is inevitable grin.

They first said LP was only popular on twitter yet, we see hausas and fulanis in the north sponsoring Peter Obi, a Christian candidate from the south. See them donating houses and billboards for him.

Later they said Obi had no structures yet, they see people willingly conducting rallies nationwide for him with their money. Obi can't sponsor such. Hed be broke perpetually and that's the difference between the majority and
corrupt few . Did you see bauchi House to house campaign over the weekend?

Now, they've taken to physical assault. Thank God for social media. The majority of urchins here would have physically attacked us for not supporting evil. Here in lagos, most people aren't saying who they'd vote for fear of attack by urchins. The result of the elections will shock many. I'm so happy the name of the victim osun didn't say Chinedu, they'd have said LP is a party of ipob as usual. They've called me an ipob several times but I don't care. I'm not blind to see the truth. Just ignore them. We shall meet at the polls, by God's grace.
