Sadly, it won't enter Inec server lol. He needs to be enlightened about the new electoral law.

I saw a dog eating agbado for the first time in my life. Ko si eegun eran mo nilu bayii oo, agbado l'oku lonję aja cheesy. My people vote wisely next year else, even that agbado would become the food of the rich if you make any mistake with your vote.

Shun sentiments, nothing like emi lokan when hungry hits you. Who emilokan epp now that millions of students are home just because ASUU was asking for what wouid improve our education. What that suspended accountant general stole alone wouid solve the ASUU problem, just one person oo.

See pics below. The dog finished a whole corn as long at it was, as seen last week.

PoliticsRe: Tell Us Why You Support Your Presidential And VP Candidate(no Insults) by Eriokanmi:
All the aspirants except Peter Obi stole money from the masses to enrich themselves. The UK's property they claimed he bought with Anambra money was actually purchased in 1996 as confirmed by the efcc. He had no private jet. He didn't bribe anyone to become Labour flag bearer. The remaining 2 had at least, one private jet each and bribed the conscience of the poor Nigerians, taking advantage of their impiverished minds to steal their votes so they could win the primaries with guhe sum of money.

Atiku was a customs boss and had made so much from that sector. He was VP for 8 years and obj put him in charge of privatisation and he cornered most of the government assets to himself. No wonder obj said one of the things he regretted was picking a running mate.

Jagaban has turned lagos to his personal property as seen today. Did you hear what happened to us last week in Lagos as a result of flooding? Does Lagos look like a mega city to you as claimed despite spending so much with so little to show? Ambode who tried to work and favour the masses was punished for it. We never knew we had so much money as a state until ambode, mr project came. Despite all he did , lagos declared budget surplus for the first time after our uncle Jakande's administration, decades earlier. Thousands of cars are in various mechanic shops for repairs in lagos tiday due to last week's flooding. Our drainage system is so bad, no good roads, no security. Steet lights put in place by fashola and ambode is no more on. Tinubu has his hands in all the sectors here.

Obi was a successful banker who had managed his bank very well and employed people of all tribes. All the banks which came up same time as his had all disappeared. Only his bank didn't merge with any other bank cos of its strong financial base and management. Even the bank which once said it saw a vision that one day, vehicles would run on water has since merged.

That said, I was a regular visitor to Anambra before Obi became governor. He left a progressive Anambra state behind when leaving. I may not know Anambra much but I have seen the quality of roads he constructed, the enabling environment he created which gave rise to the likes of the international brewery and Innoson, the only indigenous thriving motor manufacturer. May the souls of Peugeot automobile kaduna, Fiat and Lada rest in peace. Imagine Anambra was lagos, Obi would have done so much more.

OP, did you know obi was termed a stingy man when he was governor because he wasn't spending state's money anyhow? I remember obi converting some of the state's guest houses into hotels making money for the state after noticing people would Lodge there without maintaining them. He also scrapped undue travel allowances on aides to abuja each time, which ran into millions of naira then? He said he doesn't need much aides or convoys so they should stop traveling to abuja with him cos its a waste of public funds.

When Obi was leaving office, he left behind some money in government coffers when some state governors wouid empty treasury before leaving . I had flown same plane as obi 2ice in the past, the last one was in 2018. He was on the economy seat each time, no aides, no orderly, he carried his back suitcase by himself.

I strongly believe as a yorubaman and a businessman that he'd be a much better president than the duos who only want to achieve their utopian lifetime ambition.

HedwigesMaduro:
You guys will use one mouth to say "obi is not a Igbo candidate. He's a nationwide choice", and another mouth to be counting the high population of Igbo voters that will show support for obi to win. You guys are the most confused (and most deluded) lot I've ever encountered.
Awon wo ni you guys?Did you follow the thread at all? I doubt! The topic was about the igbo, their population, voting and pvc registration. Its not about obi in person or Nigeria in general. Specific posts deserve Specific comments from well meaning Nigerians. Don't always jump into a thread to post a comment so you don't turn yourself into a laughing stock.
PoliticsRe: Why Peter Obi May Become Nigeria’s President By Default - Kperogi by Eriokanmi: 10:05am On Jul 16, 2022
Default or not, Obi will win.

I wish tinubu had a support base in the south south and south east, up to middle belt like GEJ did ahead of 2011 presidential polls. Even in the south west, his legs are shaking. The outcome of the 2019 polls is a proof.

By now, he would have been dancing skelewu ahead of winning next year's polls. He'd also have called the bluff of the likes of shettima and his cohorts clamouring for a Muslim-muslim ticket cos Jonathan didn't win in the north in 2011. Buhari swept the polls even in the pdp states.

Moh247:
Well I don't know what you are talking about but based on my own personal experience, here in SouthWest we have more Hausa and Edo people than Ibos.. the illusion that Ibos are many is just that they live in clusters together like festac and Dugbe in Ibadan

And I can assure you from my personal experience Ibos don't vote in their host commiunity except for some places in Lagos

No Ibo man dare go to Iwo road to vote or Dugbe Ibadan even with their population they stay indoor to avoid intimidation
I grew up in Ibadan. Mention one place in ibadan that i don't know. Where you can find hausas mainly are sabo and moniya/ojoo side. There's no place in Ibadan where you don't see igbo. Some of them may not vote but they have pvcs. If you had said there had been voter aparthy among igbos living outside their region in the past, I'd have agreed with you, but not on population in their host regions. Some of my friends have never voted but they had their pvcs. One of them told me the reason for the pvc collection in 2015 was because the government could make it mandatory for opening or operating a bank account as widely speculated that time.

This time around, the majority of them had picked their pvc simply because of Obi. Im sure you've been seeing the trends nationwide. How many of our tribesmen or women did you see queueing for pvc registration in the last 2 months ? The majority of them were igbos.

In ibadan, from ring Road to Dugbe, from oke Bola to oke Ado, then go to iyaganku, ekotedo iyaolobę, down to alesinloye market or bodija to iwo Road, ogunpa ibadan spare parts market , down to mokola, agbowo, UI are flooded by igbos. How many hausas would you find in those areas except sabo, moniya, shasha/ojoo? Tell me

Moh247:
cool


South West has 14 million Registered collected PVC since 2019, we are second to Northwest 18 million

While some Ibos decieve themselves that they are much in numbers, the fact remains the entire Ibos worldwide are not more than 30 million

Infact in Ibadan, the last time I had any contact with any Ibo man was when I went to Dugbe to service my PlayStation


.
Your narratives aren't always balanced. You're always sentimental and emotional towards the apc each time. This I've noticed. Do you know the population of igbos who also registered in the North West, east and central? Many of them don't go home to vote. They vote wherever they live for the candidate of their choices.

Elections are like carnival to the northerners. Maiguards cart pushers and friends always go home to vote in their respective states. They don't vote outside their domain. They must go home. Which igbo man or woman would go home because of Elections except for Christmas? Here in lagos, we dey feel am each Christmas and that's when we know and appreciate their usefulness and relevance. I don't like fixing my car towards Christmas because no shop would be open for a week around Ladipo Market. Its same scenario in other regions you mentioned.

Igbos are second in population in each state after the indigenes, check it. They're not so much at home...until recently when some of my friends started investing home and relocating some of Their investments. If you remove their population from voters in same North West, the remaining are the indigenes, most especially the southern kaduna indegenes who are the majority but the most marginalised in the state. They're more populated than Katsina. They deserved a state but cos of northern politics, they just ignored their calls. These people won't vote apc. They're unrepentant pdp but might change ther minds this time. If not for the obvious rigging in 2019, which was the only tool elrufai was banking on by picking a muslim as running mate, he wouldn't have won. Check the percentage of those who voted apc in kaduna South in 2019.

The number of voters in the north was so much cos hausa no dey vote outside their region as said earlier. They must travel home. The pvc transfer campaign won't work for them because they're not so emancipated.

CelebritiesRe: Lilian Afegbai Narrates How Pickpockets Left Her Stranded In Paris by Eriokanmi: 7:27pm On Jul 15, 2022
Things dey happen for that country oo. In 2017, I arrived Charles de gaulle Airport late so the last train had left by the time I arrived.I had to sleep at the airport terminal, I put my phone by my side and my luggage in front of me. Naxo I sleep off. By the time I woke up, my phone had disappeared. Normally in such a place, you can't imagine someone stealing your personal effects. It was my blackberry key2. I went to report to the airport police, even asked them to play their camera...they couldn't do anything my people. One of the police noy told me that usually, some Africans do come to the airport to steal and jump on the train. He said maybe one of them stole my phone. She really felt so concerned.

Right inside Paris city, as I was walking past the 2nd day, I heard some edo girls speaking pidgin in front of a brothel. The moment they saw me, they greeted bonsior. I no answer them.

rickleye:
Julius Berger is not overated.. Not sure how old you are but JB have built amazing structures in the country for decades. What you have to question are the stiff bribes they have to pay back plus wasn't there any representative from the department of works available to inspect the job ?
I wouldn't tell you hold old . But I was much conscious when 3rd mainland bridge was commissioned. JB of those days of amazing infrastructure you mentioned isn't same JB of today. They're not so strong as they used to be. I've seen roads constructed by them which was redone in less than 2 decades after it was constructed. Lagos-abeokuta Expressway is a good example, which They're now reconstructing with skukuk funds. That road was started by same JB in 2005 and finished in 2007 from abule egba down to sango-ota. They've compromised greatly. In the 80s, if they bidded for a contract and they were being offered less, they'd not do the job cos they wanted to maintain the quality standards.

Over the years, thousands of civil engineers produced by our unis were supposed to improve on JB's weaknesses? What were the indigenous companies doing? What of our civil engineers?

This isn't time for chest beating . It's the reality. If the apc dares the unexpected, they'd see the unexpected. The margin of the 2019 votes between the pdp and the apc would serve as a hint to you. Enough said
TravelRe: Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Julius Berger Criticized Over Open Bridge Joints by Eriokanmi:
Julius berger is overrated. They do quack jobs most times.

What's a sign of a failed state?

This is when a country who had been existing for over 50 years with numerous universities which had graduated thousands of civil engineers but still relies on foreign contractors for ordinary road constructions.

We must get it right next year. Even Tinubu's construction firms in Lagos do something worse. Anyone in doubt should drive the length and breadth of roads constructed by them here in Lagos....it's in your hands naija.

It won't be business as usual. Apc should Bruce up for the unexpected. They'd have to work extremely hard in the remaining 6 months to appease lagosians. Bad roads, dilapidated infrastructure, insecurity etc. Most of the steet lights put up by ambode had been abandoned. They don't fuel or maintain those gens powering the streetlights anymore.

Can I show you the results of the 2019 guber polls here in Lagos despite those delayed moments of rigging ? Rigging or vote padding would be pretty difficult this time, thanks to baba for signing the electoral amended bill into law. Votes would be recorded as cast right at the polling booth with the amended electoral laws.

If they like, let them deeply thigs yo snatch ballot boxes , e no dey work anymore. Any areas where thugs disallow people from voting, elections would be rescheduled with heavy security presence. The only available tool which they have now now resorted is vote buying? Which party wouid succeed in vote buying in my lagos bayii? It will be so interesting.

Not only that, every man is innocent until proven guilty. Just like Peter Obi that stole money from Anambra to invest in family business. He is very lucky that the Anambra state government have not requested the EFCC to investigate because the corruption that will be unearthed will affect Obiano too.
P.S
EFCC does not have powers to investigate a state government except invited. They can only investigate individuals.
