Hahahahahahaha Obi is going no where

If you're truly in abuja going by your moniker, you'd not be talking about atiku cos you should've known better

Dem dey tell pesin dat one? I'm live in abuja. Everybody is talking about Obi. I met a plateau guy, he said plateau is ready for obi. Forget what all the urchins are projecting with their phones about Tinubu. The coast is getting clearer daily.

Ha. Why not use a gen throughout or have inverter as a back up in place? Naija leaders no go eva stop to dey amaze pesin.

Its called work .. its a husbands duty to service his wife failure to do that is a ground for divorce and vice versa

Hmmm.

So, what happens when the husband isn't in the mood due to emotional trauma caused by family wahala or work stress but the wife forced him cos she's in the mood? What do we call that?

Mynd44:
And they told you that when APC/PDP shares rice, it is done by the candidates not support groups?

There's the double standard

In my opinion, there's nothing bad if soaps, t-shirts, etc are shared during campaigns. It's done globally as well, even in America they share souvenirs, key holders etc. But what's bad is sharing money. If you do that, you're buying the voter's conscience and that's why we say we no dey give shishi. That said, all the things you see are individual efforts. Ask Obi, he'd tell you he doesn't know anything about it. Only supporters are the ones doing these on their own.

The bags paraded on social media doesn't even look like rice. Abi does that look like bags of rice to you? It's a bag made of cellophane with handles....we call it nylon bag. That's not same used in packaging rice. Nobody can confirm the content. As shared by a twitter user yesterday, he only asked a question cos he's not even sure himself...he wrote IS LABOUR PARTY SHARING RICE? And urchins began the needless war of words. People should just stop all these needless noise cos it won't stop obi from winning, neither would it stop us from supporting him.

But why dem no open the coffin make the whole world see na? Abi na tradition or are they hiding something

You people keep saying there are opportunities in Nigeria, yet the bulk of successful people in Nigeria are always linked to one shady means or another.

That's for those doing shady business. They'd face their comeuppance one day, leave those ones. There are many legit business you couid do and you'd be fine. I was picked up by a taxi driver at Thamesmead in 2026, a day after Donald trump won the US election. I was returning home from the UK. The taxi guy, a yorubaman like me but I didn't notice until we got to the central area of London. He just turned on his car cd player and I started hearing Barri wonder's song. I smiled and said, egbon( meaning brother) so you're yoruba but speaking phonę and looking like jamo( Jamaican). He was surprised too cos i didn't speak a word when he arrived. He knew where I was going after booking the taxi online so i just entered his car and he zoomed off.

In short, we started talking. He asked me same question you're asking when I asked him to consider coming back home to invest. He said...what business can one invest in sef, cos he's not been home for decades and he has no relations in Nigeria anymore, not even parents. I told him the business my friend was into. He had auto garage in lagos and soon to open the abuja office. He was so happy to hear that. I also told him he could come , do a kind of feasibility studies employ, stay a while and go back. He doesn't have to stay put here. He heeded my advice. He has 3 auto garage outlets today. One in lagos, one in phc and another one in abuja. See those oil and gas guys throng his garage in phc. I don't want to mention a popular politician here, a senator who is also among his customers he's a lover of cars. He had porch cars, very expensive. He can only trust his computerised auto garage for his fleet of cars. The sharp man included a baking station in those garages where cars can be painted and baked. He also added car paint lines to it. The last time we spoke, he's considering relocating here, to face it squarely cos he's doing well. He told me he'd include tyre business to it also, cos there are some expensive cars that can't use anyhow tyre. He's also considering automatic self care car wash. Imagine.

One story does not fit all. You Uncle is a 1 out of 100 storyline.
I hold a foreign nationality, yes I live in Nigeria cos I have my investments here. Unfortunately, I have to work to support my business. Not to mention the hundred of friends that I know who have had their lifesavings swallowed in this shithole.

I will never recommend Nigeria for someone without a support system here. Many Nigerians from diaspora who make it here have support line that enable them achieve success. A friend of mine got a good wife who built this empire in real estate. Another is into importation and doing well cos his family get involved. But, to rely on government projects to survive is a risky venture.

If your uncle had dared what he dared in the 90s today, he would be shocked. Those Indians and Chinese are given preferences over Nigerians. You can't compete with them because the hurdles are from the government and the culture. In Abuja, you can find a Lebanese Muslim achieve success faster and open more doors than you. They do not have the tribal hindrances that we have. Everyone identifies with them as opposed to you being denied a chance because you are Yoruba or Igbo.

If you have ever lived in a working system, the idea of Nigeria will surely suck. Nothing works. There is no control. Not to deter whoever wants to take the chance, but this your uncle's story is not advisable in this day and age.

I agree with you, different strokes for different folks. But I came back home after my programme without a back up or support in place. I started from the scratch, chased the likes of Chinese and Indians rendering my kind of service away. Now, my company has a great
share of the market. It wasn't easy but we fought hard, ultimately with God's help

Paali is the reason. During my school days, some guys who refused to come back had no paali( green card) . They attended the first interview with their arrangee wife, they couldn't pass. They attended the second one, they couldn't pass and once this happens, just be prayerful cos its nearly mission impossible. You can't come home when you've got no papers and if they try it, they'd only be telling stories about how they once lived in America to their children cos they'd never smell there again except they won lottery.

That said, there's no better place like Nigeria. I always say this. Even those bragging with am American today know deep down their minds that Nigeria is a better place to live. As you're japaing, Indians, Chinese, etc are thronging Nigeria for opportunities.

In early 1990s, my uncle left walmart job and came back home. He wrote to a solar company in america to be their agent in Nigeria. That time, no atm, no GSM. The company first rejected his application but invited him 2 weeks after, to take their training and reconsidered him but told him he must come to Nigeria and install demos of their solar inverter. He approached the CBN on arrival but they didn't allow him. They said they had 3 standby generators but he told them....but its free and he'd remove it later, just for them to try it out. Reluctantly they permitted him.

Months later, all the 3 generators at the cbn packed up due to extensive usage. One of the grids collapsed and affected cbn HQ for wks. The day the 3rd gen collapsed, the directors were panicking, rushed to the IT dept only to find staff working. The solar inverter saved their system from crashing cbn now recommended their solar inverter called Trace inverter to all commercial banks when atm came to Nigeria, trace later changed to Xantrex, anyone can Google xantrex engineering.

My uncle today is a multi billionaire. Cbn also installed the products at all cbn branches nationwide. Those mocking him back then in America are still struggling with life and living.

Hhaga

meaning?

This is interesting. All i hear today is Peter Obi and others

At times, I always think those shouting atikulated and Emilokan aren't interested in the progress of this country. These two men they're supporting won't be walking freely on the streets today if they were either Saudi or american citizens. The latter would have put them in life jail while the former wouldn't have hesitated to send them to the other side. How Nigerians promote bad products baffles me.

blessochampion:
A man that owns a company that imports Generator can never fix the epileptic power supply in Nigeria.

Say it loud. Atiku is just a businessman. He lacks knowledge required to fix Nigeria

E.g, Emilokan. He's not even talking of the little progress made by pmb in any of his words, as if we have no president, as if he's contesting in a different party. As a national leader if a ruling party, he distanced himself
from Buhari's administration with his so called blue print ideas used in developing our state ( as if he had one) and allowed this man to fail....and he thinks he would win under same failed party? Shame awaits you sir

Whynotthetruth:
What's the situation in your part of Lagos? Is Peter Obi message getting to the core Yoruba there? Or tribal card is winning?

I'm yoruba and I live in lagos. Let campaign start. Waa riran wo. Tinubu should have presented and supported Osinbajo or fashola instead of coming out. He dared us and we'd punish him with our pvc

I wish we had a good omoluabi to represent us . Osinbajo or fashola would have been OK. But since Emilokan is showing interest, we had to back off. I can never vote a controversial being like tinubu. You can imagine hausas, igbos saying they'd support Osinbajo if he wins primaries, against their own, even paid for his nomination form.

Sonyboom765:
Obi go n verify is no longer working as he as been busted back to back to be a bloody foolish Igbo liar. Na to de play ethnic card the fool resulted. Imagine the bastard claiming a group was spreading Yoruba should not vote for him when eveey Nigeria know Kanu the bastard ask Igbo to stone Kumuyi n not attend Yoruba churches.

Bigot, obi maa win lekoo. Mark today. Keyamo has lost his sanity since he joined apc, the failed party. Dollar is 710 today. This is a fact

Worst case, obi will request heavy security cover in Lagos. He will win here and Tinubu maa lulę piii

GEEBITE:
Justice Forum is a political peer group which he has hijacked after using money to buy all the bigwigs there. It was the vehicle that delivered him the senatorial ticket in 1992 against Jakande's preferred candidate in the SDP primaries. In fact, the phrase "baba sope" originated from his group which was a slight on Jakande. if you noticed Jakande practically distanced himself from Tinubu while he was alive after then.

I know. You're very correct

myrates:
I'm a Yoruba man but I don't support Oladele on this. You can as well say you'd rather die than allow an Igbo doctor carry out surgical operation on you in an emergency situation assuming that's the only professional doctor available to save ur life or Igbo Christians are not allowed to pay tithes to your church Mr Yoruba prophet. We should have gone beyond this tribalism and ethnicity for God's sake.

Don't mind that bigot. That's his opinion and choice is he the only yoruba boy? I'm beginning to reason why that prophetess distanced herself from him after he was jailed. I'm yoruba and am voting obi. I've seen an igbo nan , a driver of the young who said he's voting Tinubu. It's a matter of choice, not that you'd introduce tribal hate on the social media. Who is he? Can he speak for his scattered followers and members after they heard of the fraud he committed which landed him in jail? What would he say of those fulanis who willingly erected a billboard in support of obi? Obi is far more relevant in the north than Tinubu . This guy is broke obviously after returning from prison. What a biased religious leader. Even if you're voting any candidate, must you parade your ignorance in public? Pastor adeboye who has over 50 million members could also have sent Peter obi away during his recent visit to the camp and say...he's a yorubaman so, he's not welcoming obi. The moment Obi's name was announced, see cheers from millions of members....

Prophet indeed.

That's his business. I'm yoruba and an voting Obi. Tribal bigot like him. Maybe it was tinubu who removed him from prison.

Harryj12:
Us in the most indebted country in the world. Just want to let you guys know

Yes but their gdp is superb, same as standard of living. Just so you know, one single company in america can write off her debts. America invests heavily in human capital development, same as obi's plans for Nigeria which those sharing 30k monthly of public funds don't like to hear. America's economy today relies on SMEs. Thats what Nigerian government is killing. The 30k crooners failed to realise the fact that, they're being massively shortchanged with that 30k. That's barely 65usd monthly, what an average low cadre American can make in less than 5 hours, cutting ordinary grass. That's the difference.

I'm not surprised. Those of us opposing Tinubu know what we're doing. The facts are there.
