₦airaland Forum

I don't think that politics work the way people analyse it. Being the president of Nigeria is not about ethnic or individual calculations. I have been following Nigeria politics since the 70s.
OBJ did not become president because he was a strong politician, rather the mood of the nation as at that time and his antecedent worked it for him.
Yaradua was unknown, not a strong politician but events favoured him. The same could be said of GEJ and even Buhari. Buhari wasn't a politician nor a rich man but his antecedent worked for him.
Tinubu fought for it after taking time to position himself. Some how it worked for him.
From all these, you can see that any Nigerian from any tribe can be president. Many things can work in your favour or against it. Don't believe that any tribe has the monopoly of it or that a certain set of persons has the power to determine who occupied the seat. You rather believe the people who say that it is in the hand of God. Don't rule out the possibility of an Igbo becoming president any year. It is not in the hand of Tinubu or any individual.

Jeezuzpick:
Honestly!

The few remaining are the ones who were lucky to have secured fixed assets and are still earning enough to not have to sell them.

Instead of selling their homes to shore up dying businesses in Nigeria, people would rather sell them and jápa.

I swear down, If I ever need to sell my house (God forbid!), it will be to escape this country.

For now, sha, we dey here.

Peeps, any money wey come Una way, go for fixed assets if jápa no dey Una plan.

Avoid clubs and lounges. Buy land, don't drink Azül!

Some boys no go still hear o.......

We don't womanize, we don't smoke, we don't do drugs. Now you want us to stop drink. Just live and die because Tinubu is president. Na wa for you ooh.

Hi. I'm interested if you can share the website name.

You want me to drop it here. And you don't believe when I say without guidance you may not scale through. Drop your email or phone number or you send mail to me. I will give you.

chiarachy:
Where do you normally get gigs that pay up to this amount for an article.
(Aside Upwork and Fiverr)

Hmmm Upwork and Fiverr are competitive and oversaturated. I don't think that new writers survive there. But there are many sites that display hundreds of writing jobs with prices attached to them. All that we need to do is to choose the ones we can do at any time and do it well. If the owner is satisfied, they pay you. The thing is that before they accept a writer, you will pass an obj English test, an essay writing test. It is not what I will post here because even if I post, you can not scale through without proper guidance and direction. You can send me mail to me if you need more info.

DeOTR:
You want a quick fix for a generation long problem? You're part of the problem.

Don't be decieved, there is nothing on ground to show that your FG want to fix anything. They don't even understand the problem of the country.

seanfer:
So you prefer the FG to continue subsidizing the $$ for the benefit of few?
Or he continue paying for fuel subsidy?

Now that FG is not subsiding anything, what has changed? Who is benefiting now. The few or the majority? Why are we borrowing more than the previous government?
You people will keep defending nonsense without any fact.

If only you knew who is behind this account. Bragging is not the goal. But only if you knew. (Which is why I still have some regard for Nairaland, coz I can always protect my identity)

A LOT of "make money with infoproducts" are out there. So I can understand your intention.

But whether I know what I'm saying or not, you totally missed the part where I said this: All this is assuming you know even just a little bit of copywriting and about all that I mentioned above. If you don't know anything about it, either go and learn, or find someone to create the digital product, write your sales letter and run the ads for you.

So if I said that, then maybe... just MAYBE... I know what I'm doing brother.

Well I don't know you and you don't know me either. But what I do know is that the business of finding "hot info product" is no longer in vogue. My account at Selar. Co is now dormant.
What we do that bring the dollars now is content writing and content creation. I have 5 article to deliver this night and that is about 50usd. No one is talking of hot info product again.

castro316:
so you also don't know road too? you would have corrected me by mentioning a business that one can start up with 1.5million naira.
you would have done this forum a great service by doing that instead you resorted to attacking me.
i trade and make money from it. just tell me that you don't know how to trade so that I can teach you.
its how you trade currency that will determine whether you are gambling or you are actually trading.
you are not wrong if you say its gambling, that's if you are trading wrongly.
They tell you to put $10 so you can make $1000 in 6 months. no be juju be that? the least amount of money you should put to make a good sum is $200 - $300 and you should be making about $50 - $100 a month if market moves .The best traders make 50% of capital a month and you want to do better than them? if you want to make at least $1000 a month you should have at least $5000 to $10,000 so that you can sleep well at night. Trading is 90 percent analysis (fundamental and technical), risk management and 10 percent execution. so if you know any good business todo with 1.5 million naira oya tell us

First I did not attack you. I only counter what you said. Second, I did not make any suggestion because it was a random question. I need to know somethings about his abilities, and time available to him before I can make effective suggestions. There are lots of businesses out there.
Then on fx, well am not a novice. I know of certain candle stick analysis, volitality index and others. But any biz with a possibility of gain or lost is pure uncertainty. The common name is gambling and that is where fx belong. It does not mean that one cannot make money out of it and it is not something you will recommend to a civil servant looking for more income.

It is not good for a man/ woman to be alone. The mistake most ladies make when it comes to marriage is staying in their comfort zone and waiting for the right man to come and propose marriage to them. This doesn't always work. It is based on probability. When a woman needs a job or a certificate, she goes all out and fights for them, but when she needs marriage, she waits for the right man to come. Like I said, it doesn't always work, and nothing is wrong with the woman.
I wrote a book titled " How To Attract Your Dream Man For Marriage When Your Are Ready"
It is about getting the right information and acting on it; nothing more. Every woman who wants to marry will marry, not minding her age, beauty, or social status. Just know how to play the game like this woman.
Then Naomi began to plot the graph. “This evening he will be threshing the barley, so wash yourself, put on some perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go where he is threshing, but don’t let him know you are there until he finishes eating and drinking. Be sure to notice where he lies down, and after he falls asleep, go and lift the covers and lie down at his feet. He will tell you what to do.”
Ruth answered,” I will do everything you say,” and that nailed it for her.
This was how Naomi navigated the plot to get her daughter-in-law to marry Boaz, a very rich and successful man.
You cannot rely only on your own thinking and knowledge to get certain things done. I want to be your own Naomi to help you achieve your desire of “Marrying the man of your dreams when you are ready”. You only need to listen to me as Ruth listened to Naomi.

castro316:
Save more. There is no reasonable business to do with 1.5 million naira today unless you know how to trade forex or crypto.

That's not true. That you don't know the road to a place does not mean that the place does not exist. The forex and crypto you suggested are disguised gambling. Bet9ja is even better than them.

ngel0v3:
My mouth is fine.

See your brain. If you don't know, you don't know.

If you want to know, simply ask.

And if you know, simply give him your own way. But don't be stupid for nothing.

But you know that you were talking theory. I practice what you said, and I know that it is not what you would suggest a newbie to do. You have to take your time to learn first. Creating a website is not something you learn in one day. To run a Facebook ad is not a day thing. Then writing copy, creating a hot product, and the many processes that go with what you just said in five minutes do not work like that.
What you said is good, but I don't think you are doing it. You only read about it.

Revealpanda:
See your mouth.
He'll burn a that money on ds before makes even 20k

IT works, but not as he was saying it. He was talking theory, which is different from field action
There are many other model of internet businesses that work well without any investment

PigTormentor:
Obi ain't getting 6 m next time. That relgious war shit is not going to play again.

So whom do you think that will inherit Obi's 6m votes. Is it Tinubu that has made more enemies for himself.
In 2023 , I predict that Tinubu would not win Lagos. This time, I will predict the number of votes he will get in Lagos when the time comes. De give yourself hope. Obi is going to campaign with " hunger" this time around and all Nigerians can relate with that directly or indirectly. So we shall meet you people at the poll.

helinues:
It's very annoying for people who don't even have any political relevant in their family not to talk about their street talking about regretting voting for president Tinubu in 2023.

Keep your inconsequential vote in 2027

You're wrong. In every election, one vote is very important. Scotland is still in Great Britain because of one vote. In 2014 Ihedioha won PDP primary election in Imo State by just 4 votes. History has a way of repeating itself. We are happy that she has realized her mistakes and face reality. Millions of others are thinking like her now but only time will tell.

anonimi:
What % of the value that these Nigerians generate abroad end up in our own economy and GDP growth?

What % ends up in the GDP of their new countries

This write up makes a lot of sense, but it is a gradual process. Nigerians are trying at the individual level. It is the old men that we keep electing as presidents that are the problem.

histemple:
Well, I am already a senior citizen. And by my training, I operate based on facts and verifiable evidence.

And I find your argument about the evolution of mankind and the world, quite strange. I don't know your religion. But as a Christian, the Bible reminded us that God cannot change. The same yesterday, today and forever.

Good to know that you're a senior citizen. As a senior, you should know that man do not understand 1/10 of the world and what life is all about. You're "verifiable evidence" is very limited. It cannot explain life and the things happening in it. I did not say that you should believe the Bible but I say take a look at your environment and the things around you and use it to project 1000 or 1 million years to come or the ones that had past.

Goosethetruth:
Lol...🫤
The fact that the Bible is your point of reference in this discussion makes me realise there is no need for me to engage you any further in this discussion.
Even Benjamin Netanyahu would never point to the Bible as his point of reference in the present day conflict. However you are free to make the Bible your point of reference.
My sincere advise to you is that you do research on these issues. Your first assignment should be to find out the origin of the Bible itself.
Lol.....😊

You are the one contradicting yourself. You cannot talk of Israel without making refrence to the Bible. The Isrealities are also known as the Bible nation. Whether you believe the Bible or not does not make any difference.
You said the present Isreal is not linked to the biblical Israel. And I asked you whether the whole Jews died at a point without offsprings and you are talking of another thing instead of answering the question.

histemple:
Everything you read in the Bible only existed inside the Bible. None was ever real. You will only end up getting more confused if you try to make any sense out of it.

That Jonah lived inside fish for 3 days
That Moses divided the sea with rod
That a snake spoke to Eve.
That a virgin became pregnant without sex
That the same powerful God asked Jesus's parents to runaway from Herold who is a human being.
That Daniel killed a lion with bare hands
That Shedrack, Meshack and Abednego were thrown into the fire and they weren't burnt.
That the world was once destroyed by flood
That Jesus walked on the water
etc.

Just ask yourself why hasn't those miracles been repeated?

They are all real.. I don't know your age but if you can assess the changes you have witnessed so far in both the environment and society within your time on earth, then you will realize that the world is not static. Anything is possible in 2000 years to one million years.

Goosethetruth:
Lol...😂
It is absurd for any person in this modern age to think the Israelites mentioned in the Bible and the Jewish Tanakh are the same as the modern state of Israel created at the end of the 2nd world war on the 14th of May 1948.

Why is it absurd for you. Is it that after the biblical times, all the Jews died off, no reproduction of new humans?
Well, they are the offsprings of the biblical Jews because their life did not stop at any point. Secondly, the Bible predicted all that is happening in Israel to the present day. The restoration of 1948 and all the wars that followed till date were predicted by the Bible.

Funkyswagzz:
Please oo I still genuinely want to know. What was the essence of removing subsidy and were is the money for the subsidy being paid initially? This question might seem not relevant at this point but it is the reason we are suffering heavily today. Also the refineries are not working what exactly is happening cos all I see here is SCAM

In a layman's term, N500 was saved from subsidy removal while N2000 was incurred as debt from floating the Naira.

So the net effect is minus - N1500. So instead of saving through subsidy removal, we are loosing heavily.

This why the govt is borrowing more, taxing imports, electricity and everything to meet up with the wound it inflict on itself without proper guidance.

Now you can see that there is no hope under this government. All those propaganda will not rescue the economy. We have to face the reality on ground.

Well, my advice to you now is don't focus your attention on getting job. Rather focus on getting a digital skill. All these training ads you are seeing on Facebook are good. If God help you to choose the right one, by December this year, you be smiling and probably have some people working for you. You will then look for me to thank me.

Brenbentondiaz:
So if Obi had contested with Tinubu head to head Obi would've won? And I thought mpuri mriri is not stronger than cocaine. Lolz. Thanks for the laugh, by the way. Next level delusion.

You're the one that is deluded. Conduct free election and let's see who is Tinubu.
What happened in Abuja and Lagos where the international observers concentrated to avert rigging?

raumdeuter:
Those 6million votes Obi got were votes that would normally have gone to Atiku like they did in 2019

If Obi didn't fragment PDP votes in 2023, it would have been almost impossible for Tinubu to win

Stop this senseless narrative. Was the post of presidency meant for only Tinubu and Atiku.
It is your type that would work for 50 years in one company because you are afraid of the unknown. 18 persons contested for president and it was only Obi's vote that stopped Atiku. So whose vote stopped Obi or you think that he has to right to win.

jmoore:
2019 never existed?

Obi got 6 million votes in 2023 despite people like you mocking his canopy rally, saying he won't get up to 1 million votes.

If Atiku didn't run in 2023, Obi would have won with a landslide.

You're very correct. I don't know why they are not looking at it this way as if the post of presidency is meant for only Tinubu and Atiku.

raumdeuter:
Obi made it possible for Tinubu to win in 2023

If Obi didn't run, Atiku would have won

Not true. Just saying that Nigeria did not qualify for world cup because Benin republic did not beat South Africa. Are you making sense?
Obi has every right to contest. You should rather blame the G5 governors of PDP the refused to work for their party.

Good one, but some things are still missing.
1. When thugs disturb the voting in a unit or snatch the ballot boxes, nothing usually happen. The INEC would just look the other way. This is not good. There should a law that the votes from every unit must count. If a pooling unit is attacked by thugs, the result should be withheld until the elections are reconducted in the pooling unit. (Those in Lagos should understand this more.)
2. Vote buying is another problem the law can handle if the choose to. Vote buying should be criminalized, any person caught with evidence should be disqualified from the election. INEC and the law should show the way. It is easy to stem vote buying.
I strongly support the digitalization of the collation of results and real time transitions from the pooling unit with time bound. Any results not received within 30 minutes of voting conclusion should be checked.

KennethOkonkwo:
Some thing has always been cooking for Tinubu since 1999......except if you are new to Nigerian politics.

The Man TINUBU has never lost any political war as always envisaged by his enemies

Do you remember FFK Article "It is finished for Tinubu" in 2021 when Oshiomole was removed as APC Chair and Ajimobi that was supposed to replace him died. Where is Tinubu today?(even against all the pre-2023 elections obstacles)...where is Oshiomole?...where are Gaidom,Fayemi,maechi &Co that plotted the removal

Trash as usual. As at yesterday, Tottenham FC has never won a competitive UEFA cup in their history, but they won it yesterday.
Keep banking on history and old story until your eyes will clear.

tnerro1:
Is INEC that will decide the next election , that’s why voting is useless unless there are fundamental changes in INEC

#letinecdecide

Not so. If INEC has the power to decide, why do politican buy votes?
