Ask him whether Iran or Iraq have better leaders?
How about Haiti which has not had a government since 2016?
Haiti which is a failed state was at the World Cup.

hopeful95:
This guy should give it a rest abeg.

Italy, Cameroon, Denmark & Hungary have bigger football pedigree & they aren't at the World cup.

His favourites China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam have much better leaders; has anyone seen them at the World Cup?

We can all agree that we have a poor leadership class in the country but the way this man oversimplifies some of the problems tends to trivializes them.

There is often very little substance, context, nuance or depth in his assessments nor in his proffered solutions, on the rare occasions that he enumerates one.

I frankly can't recall any holistic, original, clear cut solution he's enumerated on any thorny national issue recently.

This cuts across Subsidies (both Petrol & FX), Infrastructure, Government Revenue challenge, Security & Fiscal Federalism/Devolution of powers, and other spheres.

The current crop should do significantly better but this guy is at best a populist. All over the world, Populist end up worsening the situation because their shallow & oversimplified understanding of governance.

In any case, he was governor for 8 years sef. Which of the problems did he tackle definitively when he's a Governor?

Who told you China has never qualified for a World Cup?

Kushites:
Ask Obi that CHINA with a population approaching 2 BILLION that has never qualified even ONCE for the World Cup, is it because of.. ?

INDIA with a population of 1.5 BILLION has never ONCE qualified for the World Cup despite numerous attempts.

HIS FAVOURITE COUNTRY BANGLADESH HAS NEVER SMELT THE WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION.

So ARE ALL THOSE COUNTRIES ALSO USELESS AND UNSERIOUS, PETER?

Na the very same nairaland professionals now, na dem.
From their explanation, you fit guage their experiences and u know say to get experience, u must first write exam before you attend lectures.
They are now in their lecturing phase on nairaland of "do what I say but don't do what I do".
Imagine that Keke rider Mr. banny saying his Whatsapp block button is on speed dial.
Ladies and Gentlemen, any man who comes online forming hardman and say he does not accept billing, in real life na dem dey simp pass, na dem dey sponsor woman for university abroad sef.

meobizy:
Everybody na professional for woman affairs for Nairaland. Who then are the men simping for women in the real world?

Does Ronaldo have an Olympic Gold medal?

Omoawoke:
Pained?

What Ronaldo has achieved, you won’t see another player to achieve those again

The only thing left he didn’t achieve is to win the World Cup but he has done it all

You sure say you see the guy you quoted?
CR7 dey im name, nothing you go fit tell am make e hear.

ColdHunter:
When same rule was applied for Ronaldo, I didn't hear yall complain.

FYI, Ronaldo wasn't even supposed to play in the first two matches of the group phase due to his Red card against Ireland during qualifiers

Agreed that they are both criminals.

The issue here is that Tinubu must attempt to save himself.
Afterall, person wey dey sell charcoal no suppose follow play with person wey wear white agbada.

Adeyemi don already make up im mind say since Gbaja wan die the 1.3 billion for aza better make everything cast.
Why did Adeyemi not mention Wike, nor Seyi Tinubu or Akume the SGF?
Why did he specifically mention Gbaja?
Can Gbaja say he does not know Adeyemi?
Adeyemi knows more than he is telling us, very soon im go drop photos and voicenotes with him and Gbaja make everywhere stew.
This is worse than the grasscutter SGF whom Osinbajo duly placed on suspension.
Thank God it's Yoruba vs Yoruba, so no accusations of tribalism there.

Let Tinubu not suspend Gbaja sef, for me as a private citizen to kick Tinubu out of power either by protests from now till 2027 vote is to kill Adeyemi and let Tinubu take the fall.
If anything happens to Adeyemi right now even a natural death, na Tinubu.
Tanimola the alleged fixer between Adeyemi and Gbaja has already allegedly died by a suspicious fire and buried with no autopsy, ok oo.
Adeyemi has already alleged an assassination attempt on his life by who else apart from Gbaja.
Who would want Adeyemi dead and who would profit the most from his death? Gbaja and by extension Tinubu.

I beg Tinubu not to suspend Gbaja sef, afterall law #35 states that you don't interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake.

On other related issues, Sowore don finally get evidence for his cybercrime case for calling Tinubu a criminal, the evidence go choke Justice Umar say Tinubu by signing the 2026 appropriation Bill allocated 1.3 billion to a fake agency.
Thank God say ignorance no be excuse for court.

lightwind:
Femi Gbaja is a very right hand man to Bola Tinubu, they have been working together , hand in hand way back 1999- in Chicago,Illinois USA

That's why he was made the Chief Of Staff to the President which is Tinubu he is very close to Tinubu.

Tinubu won't suspend him just watch out!

Na that man called Adeyemi go use head carry everything.

Exactly.
Let me show you how they are trying to whine Nigerians.

(In his reply on 27 October, Mr Gbajabiamila told the ministry that Mr Adeyemi’s PFIPC “is fake.”)

This is on the 27th of October 2025.
So how then did this same fake agency still get allocations in the 2026 budget which was voted by the NA in March 2026?
If Gbaja knew since October 2025 that the agency was fake, why did Gbaja not contact or notify the Budget Office at the Federal Executive Council or the Minister of Budget and Planning to cancel the proposed allocation before it was forwarded to the NA?
For this singular reason Gbaja is as guilty as Adeniyi if not more.
Client Gbaja vs Azaman Adeniyi

Gotocourt:
This is Client vs Azaaman📌

Pls which of his sister?

lexylaw09:
the organization is headed by your sister
.. sheybi you know

I salute you sir, na man you be.
Reading this coming from an APC supporter gives me hope say Nigeria "fit" better someday.
Have a good weekend.

seunmsg:
Anybody trying to pass this as just a case of a scammer is extremely ignorant. That is why the attempt by the Presidency to declare the agency as fake is extremely condemnable. That agency by all standard is not fake. It is a government agency with all nomenclature of a FG agency. They presented a budget proposal, got access to upload it to the platform of the Budget Office, defended the budget proposal before the National Assembly, and Mr. President assented to the budget. They also got the approval of the Accountant General to post Treasury staff and Internal Auditors to the agency, got approval to open a TSA account with CBN, and got a waiver to recruit 300 staff from the Head of Service. So, how is that agency a fake?

The Budget of the Agency was listed under the State house. So, it is directly under the supervision of Mr. Gbajabiamila. In the spirit of transparency and accountability, Mr. Gbajabiamila should immediately step aside so that DSS and ICPC can carry out a proper investigation into the matter. The investigation must uncover how the agency was able to penetrate the National Assembly, Budget Office, Accountant General, SGF, Head of Service, NITDA, and CBN all undetected.

Get your facts right, DSTV does not belong to SA

tuoyoojo:
In as much as I do not like what those south Africans are doing to nigerians and other blacks

Going against MTN may not be good for us...how many Nigerian telcom companies compete and provide services comparable to what mtn is providing.
The massive corruption in the country would not let nationalising it to work

We can work against DSTV because those ones have not hidden their exploitative tendencies from the beginning

But for me, leave mtn alone

E sure me say you pass through school but school no pass through you.

Hushpuppi dupe America? Dupe football club in Italy?
Abeg tell me how it happened please, I don't know...
Was it Yahoo Yahoo or romance fraud? through facebook or Whatsapp?

Dagrace01:
Ask yourself how Hushpuppi was able to dupe a whole county in America, or how he was able to dupe a football club in Italy..
Madness doesn't start and end in Nigeria alone.

Leave all this long long epistle.
If you and Okonkwo like make una talk about Obi from now till eternity.
Your points about good and bad advertisement, publicity and manifesto is as useless as the k in knife in present day Nigeria, your explanation emanates from the bubble you live inside.

NB:
PVC's for Nigeria vote mining sites as NW/NE no sabi read epistle, no dey nairaland nor dem even know wetin be channels tv, wetin dem go tell dem for Mosque(s) the Friday before election, na im go determine who dem go vote for and who go win the election and I can tell you for free it's definitely not Peter Obi.
Either Tinubu wins this election outright or Atiku wins in the 2nd round.

SixSeven:
Kenneth, campaigning on distraction won't build attraction, it only gives your rivals traction!

Kenneth Okonkwo's relentless media attacks on Peter Obi are a critical tactical error that actively undermines Atiku Abubakar's 2027 presidential campaign. As Atiku's newly appointed spokesperson, Okonkwo's primary mandate is to sell a compelling alternative vision for Nigeria. Instead, by using national television to litigate past grievances and defend himself against an 8 billion defamation lawsuit, he violates a fundamental rule of political communication, he allows the opposition to dictate the narrative.

This obsession traps Atiku's campaign in the past. Every minute spent debating Obi's character is a minute stolen from promoting Atiku's manifesto. Rather than building momentum for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ticket, the campaign's debut message is consumed by personal friction. This leaves voters with no clear understanding of what Atiku actually stands for.

Furthermore, these aggressive assaults actively alienate key voting blocs. Obi retains a fiercely loyal following among Nigeria's youth and southeastern voters. By launching highly personalized attacks on a figure these demographics revere, Okonkwo burns crucial political bridges and drives vital swing voters away from Atiku's coalition.

Ultimately, this strategy validates the warning that campaigning on distraction kills attraction. By keeping Obi's name at the center of national discourse, Okonkwo provides his rival with free publicity. Instead of diminishing the opposition, the relentless focus elevates Obi and puts his principal Atiku down.

Aminda please I want some clarifications from you.
Firstly, I am not an Obidient nor am I Akara but I am an Atikulator.

1. Could you check and tell us if this agency was existing during Buhari tenure?
2. Did this agency receive allocations in the 2024 and 2025 budget?

Thanks in advance

AMINDA:
The onus is on the president to make him do so, otherwise, it raises serious questions as to how deep the conspiracy is and inadvertently suggests that Gbajabiamila may not be acting alone. This is not even the second time similar accusations will be arising involving the Tchief of Staff. Very early in the administration, several persons have alleged that monies were paid to secure appointments. No previous administration or COS was embroiled in similar scandal of this nature. Buhari’s SGF, Babachir Lawal, was immediately suspended by Osinbajo who was then Acting President, when the grasscutting scandal came to limelight. Nigerians are watching.

Which arrangement?
That arrangement is unconstitutional.
Democracy is a game of numbers.
If itsekiri have the numbers, let them win if not let ijaw win.
If Tinubu loves them so much, let him change the constitution and grant the other tribe another seat.
This beer parlour arrangement is a basket water fetching exercise and is null and void before the constitution of the FRN.

Mrexcell:
It will take only one greedy and selfish uhrobo, ijaw or itsekiri politician to destroy this arrangement in future black man loves power and free money too much.

Pure English wey dey that mama mouth no be here oo

Powerbandooo:
..

Clarion chukwura, mother of a music producer clarence Peter.
I think she is still alive

What you are calling bribe here in Nigeria is what USA calls lobbying.
Mrs. Adelson, Musk, Koch brothers etc.

B3xn:
Paying bribes to secure government appointments should be punishable under Nigerian law. Likewise, creating dubious government parastatals for personal gain should also be a criminal offence.

Neither the bribe giver nor the recipient has the country’s best interests at heart. Both should be removed from office and handed over to the DSS for criminal prosecution.

That is what any government genuinely committed to fighting corruption would do. I doubt the current government has the political will to take such action, they’d rather cover up than admitting such crime(s) is(are) happening under their administration

Leave all this your Akara obfuscation.
Your points are so stale that you can't even convince your grandma with it.
More sensible APC bots have runaway from topics about this but you are insisting on taking a high dive in a low well.
Unfortunately, I can't stop you.
If I were an Obidient, I would find ways to kill Adeyemi to ensure Tinubu is tainted forever in the public eye.

Image123:
Why? Adeyemi accused Gbaja of collecting money from him in exchange for the position, yet he has provided neither proof nor an employment letter. He claimed that the person who allegedly collected the money on Gbaja’s behalf died last year. Isn’t that crazy enough? But “Gbaja must go”. If i told you that i slept with your wife or husband, you'd go and divorce pending thorough investigations?
The same Adeyemi has been established as a well known fraud even here on NL since 2017.

Hisbah no dey reach Sabongari.
Sabongari anywhere you hear it in any Northern state is the Sodom and Gomorrah of that State.
In Kano, at all places they don't sell even cigarettes, sachet alcohol or pork or prostitutes but if you want to commit sin - Northerners inclusive, just go to any Sabongari.
Na Dem dey chop pork, drink beer pass Christians, if you doubt it go to that same Sabongari during fasting month as see how everywhere dey like desert.

BlackViper:
I have so many questions after reading this article. For example, what do the two quoted statements below actually mean?





I've also heard that the Hisbah who enforce Sharia law typically target bars and restaurants in these areas of Kano for selling alcohol, but rather curiously they have a habit of leaving these dan daudus alone. How true is this?

200 naira in 1987 is about 16k today.
Do the maths.
I am not supporting gays ooo just showing you not to look at the 200 naira with Tinubu's eyes

VeeVeeMyLuv:
For N200,
I wonder how these people will feel now at their old age when they are reminded that they were once violated for N200 only

Who u wan convince?
Abi na only me see the CR7 for OP name?
If CR7 like, make e score a billion goals, a billion goals from CR7 is as useless as the K in knife.

kenex4ever:
Which mumu fans

Just say penaldo fans fumes because they are jealous of Messi.

We have had more than 10 people in this WC do exactly or worse than what Messi did (which was without force) and were not penalized.

But because it's Messi, the dogz will bark.

Penaldo shouldnt have played the first two WC matches, Messi fans did not cry.

6-7k for cement in which currency?
From which African country?
6k CFA is 14,000 naira.
I don't understand this your point.
Naira is worthless and becomes totally useless the closer you get to any border town, that's what Nigerians don't know.

flokii:
The car dealers will still refuse to reduce prices of vehicles despite the duty reduction. Just like the petroleum marketers and refiners are refusing to reduce prices of petroleum products despite reduction in global crude oil price.

Now that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is about to kick off.. most Nigerian businesses will beg on their knees for patronage but won't get.. Nigerians won't buy from them anymore and of course other African countries won't patronize their overpriced goods.
With "One African market' coming into force, let's see how MOMAN and likes will survive. I want to see how Dangote will force Nigerians to buy his 12k per bag cement when 6-7k cement from other countries will be freely available in the market.

You wrong here.

Cameroon is the only African team to have beaten Colombia at a World Cup @ Italia 90 when Milla disgraced Higuita.

Then in the confederations cup semifinals @ France 2003 where Marc Foe died on the pitch

Kemetian:
Colombia is always a problem for African teams.

Even Eagles have had problem with them.

Cameroon same.

They have a certain way of playing..

Are you sure Akara frying is not part of the training they will receive?
Cuz all they know is corn, rice, Akara, moimoi and kuli kuli empowerment.

SixSeven:
Before implementation, government should answer five questions clearly:
1. what is the actual additional budget for six-week orientation?
2. Which camps currently meet the minimum standard for six weeks of residence?
3. Who will train, certify, and monitor the specialised streams?
4. What safeguards will prevent corruption, favouritism, and exploitation inside camp?
5. Which employers and institutions have formally agreed to accept corps members under the new PPA model?


Opportunities for contracts and to spend money my friend.

I think we will lose the reason for national unity et cetera when they make these changes. NYSC in my opinion is still one of the best ways Nigerians get to know their country though it still has its fault but our sense of nationalism is dying everyday and government is not helping it.

You and the guy you quoted are in the same league playing tribal politics.
Even 99 wrongs can't make 1 right.
Quick question, Was Kemi Adeosun arrested?

Wickedfacts:
It is politics because he is from your Igbo tribe.
Did you say the same when it was Kemi Adeosun?

You Igbos don't want good governance, you only want an opportunity to cheat others without repercussions.

DSTV does not belong to SA.
Tinubu will lock you up and throway the key for the sake of his paddy Macron if you try disturb DSTV. Kapisch?

1st, You are a very poor history student.
Germany never had colonies in Africa?
Are you for real?
In which European city was Africa partitioned on a map?

2nd, France has no indigenous blacks.
Blacks are not indigenous to Europe.

All what you wrote here is pure horse shit.

planetx:
France is like US with indigenous blacks, they have the largest colonies in Africa, but Germany never have colonies in Africa or indigenous blacks, but only trying to be politically correct.

I apologize for those attacking you for saying the truth and Dem go soon remind me say u be man.

But as a matter of fact, she did not only give him silver and gold but also myrrh and frankincense at the same time.

But the truth be say "some" Nigeria girls have nothing to offer.

Diamond098454:
They said Nigeria girls have nothing to offer

White woman have given him silver and gold at the same time
