Lollzzzzzz, 13mill can build a house, do you think na everyone dey live Abuja, lagos, port Harcourt? There are some places in Southwest where you will get an acre for 500k, and less, not a plot o. And it's not really in a bush.

Tohsynetita1:
You have 13 million? Some people are just blessed with money without any iota of what can multiply such money.
That 13 million, no use am marry at all, if worse come to worse, and you don't know what to do eith it, go and buy acres on land in a reliable place, you can buy like 50 acres, plant cash crops and forget the rest, in next 60 to 100 yrs, you might not need to work again. Go plant cocoa, or plantain, pineapple, kola, rubberc ashew, coconut, sugar cane. Another investment you can do is go into importation and importation of goods or go into production.

Saudis are uniting with Iran and this is a new chapter not just for the region but Islam and Muslim world as a whole.

This is like the Eastern Orthodox church uniting with the Vatican after a nearly 1500y division.

For the Sunni Saudi to offer a hand of alliance with Shia Iran is not something you should brush aside.

They have both now seen the common enemy is not each other but the Jew.

And FYI, Iran held her head up well and achieved all their political and diplomatic goals .

Wars are not fought for pillaging sake .

This is not the bronze age .

Wars are fought to achieve a strategic political, diplomatic and economic goal.

And Iran has done all that


They have effectively isolated Israel and the US from the region (a major political feat} and have now entered a military pact with their staunch enemies (a diplomatic win) and so far inflicted more damaging wounds to the American empire - a strategic economic victory.

So hide your face because majority of sane humans on the planet will prefer peace in the ME over war.

If I am not exaggerating, it should be over 5 years I raised the alarm about the housing , real estate in South East in the next 20 years, 5 years passed already.

At least majority of the billionaires from South East have acquired nothing less than 40% of the available land with no intention of using it for anything but just to add to family glory.

While at least 10% are still holding on to ancestral land which must be preserved by all means.

If the population of the region is growing yearly, how would the next 15 years be in terms of purchasing land not to talk of house rent .

In the whole regions in Nigeria, it's only in South East lands are ridiculously expensive.

Everything shouldn't be about politics or who are you to tell us this, this is a pending future problems which solutions can still be look into before it's too late

bamayo:
And the new system will be established overnight, I just Laugh at our ignorance. let remember it's not a military president that decrees, it's democratic president.
then, you will understand why President had to give car gifts to the senators and representatives in order to have his ways.
if you dont, they are the first to frustrate the government.
remember Buhari, Buhari also faced the same issue. Buhari had to compromise when things didn't go as expected
Buhari spent over 100 days on sick bed, we won't understand many things since we are judging from outside.
The most powerful might not be the president

helinues:
Let him keep his new system to himself as he has been unable to tell us how . It's easy to fly an aeroplane with mouth without crashing.

Just post one video where this same Obi with new system was asked about governance related questions and he answered appropriately or coherently

WHY NIGERIANS MAY BE DISAPPOINTED IF PETER OBI BECOMES PRESIDENT IN 2027

Before anybody starts throwing chairs, this is not a prophecy that Peter Obi will fail.

It is an examination of why he could struggle if he becomes President.

1. THE PRESIDENT IS POWERFUL ON PAPER… BUT NOT ALONE

The Nigerian President has enormous constitutional powers.But there is one small problem:He cannot personally do everything.

He cannot wake up on Monday morning, wear military camouflage and enter the Sambisa forest himself.He gives orders.Other institutions execute those orders.

And that is where the real problem begins.
Take insecurity.
If the President orders the security agencies to fight terrorism, he still needs the security structure to actually carry out those orders.
And if parts of that structure are compromised, corrupt or unwilling to cooperate, what exactly does the President do?

And this is where the allegations surrounding political sponsorship of criminal and terrorist networks become important.

If people who are alleged to be connected to such networks remain inside the political and institutional system, then the President could find himself in a very strange situation

You cannot appoint the arsonist as fire chief and then be surprised when the building refuses to stop burning. 😂

2. PETER OBI MAY HAVE A POLITICAL NETWORK PROBLEM

This one is even more interesting.Presidential power in Nigeria is not only about what you know.It is also about who you can work with.

A President needs governors.Senators.
Members of the House of Representatives.Party leaders.Traditional institutions.Security officials.
Civil servants.Business interests.Political allies.
And plenty of people who will tell you:
“Your Excellency, leave that matter for us.” 😂
Peter Obi has built a strong following among ordinary Nigerians.
But having millions of supporters is not exactly the same thing as having millions of politicians willing to cooperate with you.
You can have 10 million supporters on social media and still discover that the man sitting beside you in the National Assembly controls the committee you desperately need.
Facebook followers cannot pass a bill. 😂

3. HIS “STINGY” IMAGE COULD BECOME A POLITICAL LIABILITY

Peter Obi's supporters may call it prudence.
His critics call it stinginess.
Whatever name you choose, if he becomes President, the political class may not suddenly develop a passion for frugality.And that could create serious friction.
Nigerian politics has developed a culture where political relationships often depend on access, appointments, patronage and resources.

A man who wants to reduce political spending may discover that some politicians consider spending a form of friendship.8

4. HE MAY FACE OPPOSITION FROM THE SAME POLITICAL SYSTEM HE IS TRYING TO CHANGE

This is perhaps the biggest challenge.
If you come into power promising to change the system, remember:The system has people.And those people have interests. Some will cooperate.Some will negotiate.Some will resist.
Some will smile with you in the morning and attend an opposition meeting at night.
Politics is not Sunday school. 😂

And if Obi does not have enough political influence to bring powerful interests to his side, he could spend a significant portion of his presidency fighting political battles instead of implementing policies.

5. THE GOODLUCK JONATHAN PROBLEM

This is where the Professor becomes worried.
Goodluck Jonathan was President.He had constitutional authority.He had the office.He had the title.But he still had to operate inside a complicated political environment filled with competing interests.

If Peter Obi becomes President without building a sufficiently broad political coalition, there is a possibility that his administration could face a similar problem:

The man occupies Aso Rock, but everybody outside Aso Rock is negotiating the terms of his survival.
Winning the election gives you the key to the house. It does not automatically make everybody inside the house your roommate. 😂

FINAL VERDICT

Peter Obi may be intelligent.
He may be disciplined.
He may have good intentions.
He may even have excellent economic ideas.
But becoming President of Nigeria is not simply about having good ideas.
You need the political machinery to turn those ideas into reality.
And that is the question Professor wants Nigerians to answer:

Can Peter Obi build enough political alliances and institutional cooperation to actually implement his agenda—or will the system frustrate him until Nigerians start saying, “We thought this man would change everything”?

Never underestimate the power of the people who are not sitting in the presidential chair but are holding the keys to the machinery.

I have been thinking about this lately.

Millions of Africans spend hours every day on foreign social media platforms, helping them grow into multi-billion-dollar companies. We create the content, bring the engagement, and build the communities, yet very few African platforms ever get the same support from us.

What if we supported our own platforms with the same energy?

That is why we built Viybez – an African social platform designed to help people connect, discover others nearby, share content, build communities, and support creators. We believe Africa can build world-class technology too, but local platforms can only succeed if Africans are willing to give them a chance.

We are not asking for money or investments. The biggest support you can give is simply to register, explore the platform, post content, invite friends, and share honest feedback so we can keep improving it.

If you had the opportunity to help build Africa's next major social platform from the beginning, would you support it?

You can check it out at www.viybez.com](http://www.viybez.com).

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts: What features would make you switch from foreign platforms and actively use an African-built social network?

This approach works better on Nairaland because it starts a conversation, appeals to local pride, and invites feedback instead of reading like a direct advertisement.

I thought Trump said that the nuclear facilities were completely and totally obliterated only to start a new war on the ground that completely and totally obliterated nuclear facilities wants to start producing nuclear weapons!
If Iran hadn't used her wealth to procure weapons, the child ki:lling regime would have turned it to another Gaza by now.
