Obi is not a visionary. Tell me one vision he saw through in Anambra state?


And Tinubu is not tribalistic. He gathered a cosmopolitan team when he was governor of Lagos state.



His team included Akabueze (an Anambra state man) and Authur Worrey (a Delta state man).

AmuDimpka:
May be you don't know Anambra has The lowest poverty rate in southern nigeria and also nigeria as a whole


No vote obi...na body go tell you...make I see or hear...boda mi ejoor funmi 400 naira male I jeun .. For Onipan

Here is a 2012 data. Peter Obi was Anambra state governor. Anambra was not even top5 states with the lowest poverty rate.

Yoruba, e ronu.

Peter Okoye whose musical career is dead, or another one?


Or better still, Peter Okoye who is talentless, and was lifted into stardom by his twin brother?



Wetin Peter sef sabi sing?



Even dancing, he copies other people.




He is a talentless singer.

AmuDimpka:
my own be say make your people no come dey neg us money for food or drink for joint ! Make Dem no come for shop asking for credit and pay later

Make dem stop jumping from Carter and Third Mainland Bridge

You are ignorant.



So, it is Peter Obi who could not reduce poverty in Anambra (and even increased it) that I should vote for?

Why do these people believe that a Peter Obi presidency will make Nigeria work?



It takes an unprecedented level of gullibility to believe that Peter Obi is some messiah.




Just vote your candidate and let others vote theirs in peace.




No be una love Nigeria pass. We all want Nigeria to be better.




I am voting for a visionary. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The common sense politician who knows how to spot underlying problems and create a vision that others can work with.



He did it in Lagos. He spotted the terrible tax system and the transportation system, and envisioned a modern state. He decided that Lagos state, with all her industries, should not be dependent on Federal allocation, and knew that bringing sanity to the tax system and investing heavily in infrastructure was the way to go. He took Lagos from financial dependency to financial independence in 8 years.

Emperor5:
Buhari must have been tied of his incompetency, he can't wait to hand over to next president.
Though the poor performance of Apc have made the election unpredictable

The fact is that the presidency is very humbling.



People go there thinking they have the solutions at their fingertips. Then, they get to Aso Rock, and their plans fall right before their own very eyes.


When all is said and done, Baba has written his name in the history books. He has contributed his own quota.



He has been humbled by the uniqueness of Nigeria's quasi-federalism.




Sometimes, I wish that boastful and pretentious Peter Obi can actually get his own chance. People like Peter Okoye will learn another meaning to the word "vote wisely" when their messiah suddenly turns into a buffoon.

xpressionx:
The baba is took 6months to form cabinet is in a hurry to inaugurate a hand over committee.

He wants to go and enjoy the money he made in peace.

Buhari is clean. He didn't steal one kobo.

Moh247:
It's that simple

Also Obasanjo loves a candidate he can write letters to bully

He picked Yaradua and Jonathan for same reason he picked Obi

And he favoured Shagari in 1979 because Shagari was a humble civil servant that he hoped he could hold on to power through.



He knew Awolowo could never be controlled.



The same thing is playing out. Support the weakest candidate.



Moreover, I think he is also scared of Atiku and Tinubu. Either of them as president might see a revelation of the poor decisions taken by OBJ from 1999-2007.

Levels1:
Can't you read to understand?

Stop comparing Seun kuti with Psquare haba.

This is highly insultive noa.

Who are those listening to Psquare crying calling it singing.

Don't mind them.



To people like him, music has to be popular for you to be regarded.



The same argument we have with the Nobel Prize. Some people wanted Achebe to win simply because his novels were popular.



Art doesn't have to be commercially successful to be art. In fact, art should not be too commercial.

Reinamaria:
We will not hear the end of this their petty fight any time soon.



Nominated when?
Or you mean Femi?

Seun has a Grammy nomination.



It is not that difficult to Google na.

Basicend:
Tinubu and Atiku will not get there by God grace. They are too corrupt and will not do anything different. .

Obi can revamp the economy by removing artificial holds and allow market forces to determine pricing in all areas.

He will also open d country up for more direct foreign investments.

Encourage exportation. . Etc.

The question is how would Obi revamp the economy, and what are artificial holds?



Can a single person allow market forces determine pricing?



Please, I need explanations.

OnyeAshuaUru:
Nobody knows who the hell is Seun Kuti, talk more of knowing that he's a musician.
Mildly put, my very self plus my 11 kids, my two wives and 10 concubines have never heard the name Seun Keti talk more of hearing any of his certainly depressing songs.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
Vote LP

PSquare are just studio singers.



Seun Kuti is a proper musician. He knows music. He understands music.



That is why he has performed in places where they would never admit studio singers like PSquare.

Basicend:
They know what they are doing.

They will suffer far more if they allow the drug lord. . Bula Blu bla. . Emilokan. . To bribe the whole country and sniff the aso rock seat.

Everything must be done to stop that sick man.

Mind you, I am a Yoruba man. . So don't even dance the IPOB tune here.

Tell me one thing you expect Obi can do differently if elected?

nairafame:
“Psquare collected Millions to perform at Buhari’s APC inauguration in 2015, now in 2023 they still want to collect another money with Peter Obi, Peter Obi is part of the problem he is close friends with Atiku, Tinubu and the corrupt political Elites he is not the solution” - Seun Kuti digs out Evidence of Psquare performing for Buhari and Peter Obi with Atiku and Tibubu.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY-upEV9aBw

Word from Seun Kuti: Nigeria cannot be more developed than the consciousness of its people



I have said it that what we need is not a change of government, but a change of mentality.



Has Peter Okoye ever asked himself why no president has performed wonders in Aso Rock? Is he telling me that all we can ever produce in this country are bad leaders, and that Obi is some saint?



You would be surprised that the same Peter Okoye is not supporting Peter Obi free of charge. He might not be charging money. Might be after a ministerial post in Peter Obi's government.

You are Saying this because you have not used Ecobank. Try it and you will grow grey hair by force.

Zenith Bank is the worst presently.

Dreal1247:
No matter how you express your beef and anger against him there are facts you cannot change which include;

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years over 230 roads

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

7. When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

You keep spreading these lies even after I busted every one of them.



This makes it obvious that a lie can truly become the truth as long as you keep saying it over and over again.

derecho:
He should have left Seun.

I have listened to Seun kuti a few times and I discovered he is directionless and confused.

Today, he says he is atheist, tomorrow he prays to the "god" of his father.

I've come to realize that people celebrate nonsense

You don't understand him, that is why.




Seun Kuti (just like his father) does not believe in God or gods, but he believes in Nature (which he believes is a type of god provided we must worship something.)

DollarSigns:
Nope all the bank network can’t fail
Forget Emefiele’s personal ambition now
That’s past
Forget the messenger and focus on the message
Mopping excess cash helps to solve local inflation
Curbs vote buying
Believe me, greedy politicians had before now accumulated enough stockpiles of cash for this purpose
Why don’t we just exercise patience and watch
Afterall the government is ending soon

Mopping excess cash will not solve local inflation.


The only benefit is that coupled with the withdrawal limits, CBN can monitor the amount of cash in circulation, thereby reducing crimes.



Reducing inflation involves far more than mopping up excess physical cash.



First of all, market forces such as demand and supply of goods can raise inflation.



For example, food inflation in Nigeria. We have shortage in food supply, yet demand for food is high. This is an example of demand-pull inflation. Because demand for food dwarfs supply of food, the cost of food will go high. You don't solve this problem by mopping up excess cash.




Another type of inflation we are battling in Nigeria is cost-pull inflation. Look at properties? Why are house rents going up? Will mopping up excess physical cash reduce it?



No. The cost of certain raw materials have gone up. This causes the costs of rents and properties to go up as well. This is cost-pull inflation.



In summary, inflation is far more complex a problem to be solved by mopping up excess physical cash in circulation.



In fact, inflation is a situation whereby there is a lot of money (not just physical cash) chasing fewer goods.

Rightousness1:
My friend broke up with his ex recently, and his ex has been so close to me and we are getting closer to each other day by day because she has been unable to handle the breakup depression alone. This lady is modest and I see no reason why a guy would leave such a lady, but I figured out that my friend wanted to explore another lady who is more educated and younger. Yesterday was a confusing day for me when we decided to take our relationship to the next level but I told her that it can't lead to marriage because her ex (my friend) is my childhood friend. I told her that we should keep the relationship open till she finds a man that would marry her since I am not in any serious relationship for now. All I wanted to do is to help her heal because I believe that she deserves sincere love. After all, she has never cheated on my friend and she is a good friend of mine. Help me look into this situation if it makes sense to maintain an open relationship with such a lady.

Your title is misleading.



You were the one that asked her to keep her options open.



Moreover, keeping one's options open is not the same as being in an open relationship.

Sounds like an assassination.



The professor probably stepped on toes in his workplace (university) or perhaps was involved in some business struggle or land battle.

DollarSigns:
Yes he is right on track
He is not responsible for failing bank network
He’s not the one hoarding cash
He’s not the one bribing bank managers to keep the new notes for those greedy politicians whom you revere and bow to
Instead He’s the sensible one who has seen the impending calamity which is waiting to befall if the powers of vote buying isn’t reduced in the upcoming elections
Please be reasonable
Hold your bank manager responsible
They live amongst y’all
Get sense please

Please, stop being emotional.



This has absolutely nothing to do with vote buying.



So, the same Emefiele who had 100 million naira to purchase APC form is now a saint to you?



Continue deceiving yourselves. By next week when all banks close down, and networks fail across all banks, and you start starving, you will understand.

Skankamola:
Try union bank and cry

Zenith is the worst.



Nothing is working. USSD, mobile app, internet banking.



That bank is the most useless bank in the world.



Followed by Fidelity Bank, and then Access Bank.

He does most of his stunts in movies, including this one in the picture that you shared.

This useless Zenith Bank?



If they closed down all their branches, why are they not also receiving funds from other banks.


I bought data from someone since yesterday morning, and she is yet to see it in her Zenith account.

yang:
Seems Buhari has heeded correct advice from the CBN to go ahead with the policy

This is the only way for CBN to control money supply and get the Naira exchange rate correct

It will stop kidnapping, improve tax compliance and actually help govt revenue

It is madness for the Govt to keep printing naira and keep impoverishing people with exchange rate driven inflation while at the same time not mopping up the deficit spending with tax revenue

You can't correct exchange rates by making physical cash scarce.



The only benefit of the policy is that CBN can monitor the amount of physical cash in circulation. Nothing else.


It won't reduce inflation because inflation is a situation where there is a lot of money (not just physical cash) chasing fewer goods.



The confidence in the naira is still low, whether you design it or redesign it. People still prefer the dollar to it, so whether you apply all the paint in the world on the naira, it won't grow it.

samtinx:
Surely they will gather once it affects their personal interest but if doesn't just forget it, when ASSU strikes all happened none of them run, to meet with the president to talk to the minister of education and the minister of labor now it involves their stolen wealth

Use your head.



What concerns governors with ASUU?



But the naira scarcity affects everyone.

Creamcrest:
Pls we Nigerians don't need any further extension,Feb 10 should be Feb 10.

It's either new money or transfer.

Any stubborn head still hoarding old notes after then will have him/herself to blame.

I am sure you don't use Zenith Bank, that is why you are spewing trash.



Does Nigeria look like a country that is ready to go even 50% cashless?

I have been wanting to respond to this ignorance of yours, but the unintelligible Nairaland bot kept banning and hiding my posts.

Aristotle was a polymath. He was everything. He pioneered the field of logic, he pioneered the field of zoology, he forged the basic concepts of biology.

He is regarded as the father of biology.

He is regarded as the father of zoology.

He is regarded as the father of political science.

He is regarded as the first genuine scientist in history.

Aristotle was a polymath. He was a philosopher, a psychologist, a mathematician, a scientist, an astronomer, and many other things.

You are free to browse more about his contributions to chemistry, physics, and all.

Go and browse about the history of science.

Einstein was a 19th century scientist. He was by no means a shallow thinker. In fact, he is regarded as the greatest scientist of the 19th century. But how many of his works were his own original idea? He worked based on many other hypothesis of other scientists.

Long before Galileo Galilei invented his telescope, Aristotle had delved into astronomy.

Please, hate Laycon all you want. But stop making careless, unguided statements about topics like this.

Nonsense!!!

What fame are you talking about?

This useless show should never be allowed to air again.

All these brands that readily support this show should pump the money into helping the economy by assisting government with building infrastructures such as hospitals and modern prisons. It wouldn't even be too much to assist government in areas of electricity.
