You're taking side with an international known criminal

Because he is my choice out of the three well known criminals. (Obi and Atiku being the remaining two).
Is it not said, that the devil you know is better than the demon you don't know?

You're a yoruba
Your land is infiltrated by the fulani
Your people are slaughtered
Your wives are raped
Your children have lost direction
Yet, your land is the most peaceful in Nigeria
The most wealthy in West Africa
Your people are the most educated
And the most intelligent
They are the cynosure of all eyes
Your land is the dreamland for millions of Nigerians
And expatriates from around the world
But you were never allowed to succeed
Because you had the wrong person ruling over you
Later you got the chance to take charge of your destiny
By voting for your own tribesman
The only person who can do the best for you
And for the other people, who dream of becoming like you
But you were unwise
You betrayed your own tribe, your own people, and your own tribe
You despised the only man, who was the reason why Yoruba were still existing
At the mercy of the Fulani
Your Moses, you betrayed your own Jesus Christ
You called him names
A man whose best interest is for his people
You made sure he lost the election
And you were happy that a Fulani won
Then your enslavement continued
Slave you are to the Fulani
Slave you shall remain?
Is that what you want?
Oh! I just heard that you voted in the Igbo man
And he collaborated with the Fulani
And made peace with them
And danced to their dictates
But he was not unwise
He armed the East
With the best weapons and infrastructure
And gave the Fulani a go ahead
To destroy ile Oduduwa
Later war broke out
And you were defenseless
Against the Fulani
You cried out, and begged the igbos to help you
But your cries we're vanities.
Then it came to pass
That Yoruba land was nothing
Yorubas became sufferers
And the glory of the Yorubas was lost.
You are a wicked person! For making it possible The downfall if the Yoruba!
Olorun o ni gba fun o'
Think deeply, and make the choice
Tinubu can do
Can make Yoruba great and make Nigeria greater!
It is not too late, to make the choice
Emilokan 2023
Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2023
Batification to greatness.
Batified to be great!

Can't you see them looking like imbeciles!

For those who love to make jest of Tinubu's photos ( Yes, his photos). Here is a photo of another person, make jest of it too. It shouldn't be Tinubu always!

Oga, tell that to ignorant folks. Lagos is not closer to the sea than Japan, yet it is tackling flooding effectively, those countries you are calling are scientifically curbing flooding and other natural disaster.
Remember you claimed your tifnubu built Lagos from a desert land to an ultra modern city it is today, so chest the flood in peace and stop dragging serious people to your mediocrity.
Stop calling SE to your foolish argument as we don't have any one who single handed built SE. We no be urchins like una

Japan has a higher elevation than Lagos state, yet it receives flood and earthquake, when you read, read with the completeness of your mind, rather than skimming through the pages.

looks like you took that from a book

Try the US. forget any hate speech about the US.

What you got on your hands... Poo poo!

I humbly wish to disagree with all the points you raised on this topic Seun,

Been resistant to malaria, aint there folks or expatriated living in the same Nigeria how many has died from Malaria you guys keep making a big deal of nothing

Flooded streets,smelly gutter and heavy traffics, where in the world are these not prevalent even if not as worse as Nigeria but i believe there are still some parts where she can live and avoid all the aforementioned if not completely but to the barest, and even if not at all it's quite an experience worth the time,

Self-generating electricity, there are ofcourse service appartments where she wouldnt need to worry about power outages i hope you know that and for your information the amount she'd pay for these appts annually is almost what she'd have paid for the same appt in the U.K for like 2 months, so what's the big deal,

Surviving on Bottled water, thats no news , here in europe i live on bottled water too most folks here do


Please Nigeria is not as bad as it is been painted,

@Gemmie

Please go with your heart and believe me you are not making a wrong move it is worth the experience because i believe thats what you are going for afterall if it's becoming unbearable to you,can find your way back to the U.K

As per your questions pls visit this site and the best bet would be to visit the Nigerian High Commision in the U.K for more info,

One luv

Don’t mind him, he lives in South Eastern Nigeria. I recommend South Western Nigeria for you. We are the most developed and West most accommodating!

wetin be the meaning of odale?
You always say this

Odale (ede yoruba) means traitor in English language

huptin:
I always knew i was responding to raving insane dim wit. No surprises here. You were obviously poorly bred and really require urgent rehabilitation.

People like you with a faulty background based on cheap education and zero exposure come to social media to post falsehood based on unverified tribal biases and expect everyone to swallow the bait.

If you meet someone who stands Up to you, you revert back to your sub human, gutter character gotten from the worst of ghetto breeding. Thanks to cheap data. Investing in education will do your type a lot of good! Its never too late, you can still attend adult lessons.

As for being a northerner, nothing wrong with that! Northerners are good human beings who have proven to be more sagacious and enterprising than your type, if you were from the north, you wouldn't need to create stupid narratives to over blow the ego of your tribe, you would at least be able to point to several leaders from your region who have excelled in leadership! Jobless idiotic bigot!

All the rubbish you typed tells the kind of a person you are, a brain dead idiot. You have no idea about the weightiness of your idiocy. Bloody fool!

Red Mud region has been shaming Nigeria since 1898, If na Yoruba now, nobody go hear word. See as dem maintain silence now! Awon alailojuti

MrBrownJay1:
AAAAAAAAAH ok....now i understand... my bad. yeah you can become a Millionaire in Naira within your 1st paycheck.

I think I should modify the Tittle

justwise:
The op exaggerated the figure but there are some element of truth in what he said.

Some homeless/beggars on the street make more money than many working 5-9. some of them have houses and cars, they don't pay tax in their takings, many will not leave the street even if you offered them a job.

Don't be deceived by their look/dressing its gives them an advantage, nobody will pity them if they dress well and clean.

Same for some of the Aboki beggars in Nigeria. So can you look up to those beggars as role model. May God hold your poverty for just 1 year make you enjoy life like normal human being. What a pity.

HeliotJ:
I don't seem to understand you. You mean Aliko Dangote lives better than people abroad? Abroad that has everything a billionaire in naija can only dream of. In my opinion, a street beggar in Canada is doing Better than a billionaire with legitimate business in Nigeria. At least, a street beggar own a house and eat free food from the government. I heard government take care of people without job and give them at least $200k per month. Not like I've been there, but it's verified. I've not even see a plane before

I’m sure of one thing, you have never left the shores of Africa. Ask from those of us who did. And it sounds so immature of you to Compare beggers abroad with Aliko Dangote. Dangote lives a better live than 5 billion people abroad!

MrBrownJay1:
BWAAAAAh what a failed state of mind.... i used to live in Norway for +4 damn years and still go to Scandinavia (Norway/Sweden/Denmark) every year. please, stop writing NONSENSE online!!!!!! majority of people in Norway aint millionaires AND 99.9999% of foreigners who moved to Norway didnt become millionaire too. out of 5M Norwegians, there is only about 200K Norwegians who are millionaires in Dollars.

but hey, keep telling MORONIC lies online to unsuspecting Nigerians!

I mean millionaire in naira, sorry baba, the $$ which I used was to represent cash, since naira, symbol no dey m keyboard. By the way things, are relatively cheap, so few people need millions in order to live a comfortable life. Just imagine Doctors in Nigeria earn 50,000 naira per year, do ypu think most doctors would be millionaires? of course not!
Once again, no vex, I meant to mean Naira

Bro fear whites oo, don’t even try to run away, she has your profile, she can snitch the FBI or Immigration. And you will just have countless Visa Denial. You are young marry her, but don’t make it a public affair, move to her to her home in Roanoke, Virginia. Settle with her for 10 years, nobody in America would give, a Bleep about you guys. At 78, put her in an old people home and visit her regularly. Start looking for a girl to marry, file for divorce or let her die and leave you some fortunes then move away to Seattle Washington, nobody will ever get you.
Marry your 28 year old girl and settle down permanently in Vancouver, Canada.
Remember, don’t poison her oo, or don’t kill her in Auto crash oo. Don’t kill her in her sleep oo. ADX Florence dey reset brain wella! Just let nature do it’s job.
Good luck.

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT NONSENSE!
majority of people in these countries aint millionaire, but you will come and lie to people that anyone can go there and become one.

millionaire ko.... pioneer ni!

17 million people dey share 900 billion dollars, 216 million people dey share 400 billion dollars shey, e no shock you.
Continue lying to yourself, can you compare the Average Norwegian with a Nigerian?
Abi na for mouth them be developed countries?

Bifwoli:
Yup ,the originator of this thread is lying massively .Some 95% of people in these countries have never had a million .

Na you sabi o Mr 95% abeg no discourage intending immigrants, make them no hear you con dey believe you.

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT NONSENSE!
majority of people in these countries aint millionaire, but you will come and lie to people that anyone can go there and become one.

millionaire ko.... pioneer ni!

Shebi you be majority? Continue Oya compare Nigeria with am now?
Maybe You did not hear me saying hardworking Nigerians.

huptin:
So Obasanjo isn't a graduate, is that an admitance of ignorance or just an attempt to denigrate Nigerian owned institutions? Because i know he graduated from Yaba College of Tech as well as National Open University?

By the way you are igbo and not Yoruba, no need to deny your tribe, i don't have a problem with you eulogizing people of your tribe, just stop revising history to favour a fantasia induced but false narrative!

Some people believe everything they see on social media, they may believe your assertion at the expense of their career growth or educational success!

You are a bloody tribal bigot by forcing another man's tribe on me, I'm a Yoruba and you can't change that. I speak the truth rather butt lick an ex Old Soldier. Fucking tribalist Aboki! You are not a Yoruba by way you are just a confused die hard idiot. Keeping on swimming in your pool of tribal hatred and Igbophobia. werey rada rada. I’ve gotten no time for low life Monkeys like you who think every one who speaks the truth is an igbo. Tribal trash like you.

For those intending to emigrate for greener pasture this post is for you as it reveals the best countries where you can easily become a millionaire within few years of working there. I know some of you will oppose by talking about high cost of living in some of this countries, too much taxation, high tax rates etc. But concerning the financial aspect, don’t listen to anyone who discourages you from migrating. The truth remains that, the foe who discourages you, will never return back to Nigeria no matter what, rather he will create an avenue for his own family to move over and join him overseas. He complains of the economy over there, yet he invites his children over there to complete their University Education.
If anyone feels opposed to this post, please don’t bother traveling over there in search of greener pastures. And for those of you who wish to talk about poverty in these countries, remember that you are from the world’s poverty Capital.
Those who wish to complain of racism should remember that Nigeria is the World’s tribalism Capital.
And those who wish to complain about Language barrier should just sit down and complain while the Chinese and Indians continue flocking to every nation in the world in million and hundreds of thousands ( shebi Chinese and Indian sabi speak Arabic, French, German, Swahili, Russian, Norwegian abi? Sidon for house dey complain now)
Also those who wish to complain of strict laws should know that no law punishes a law abiding foreign resident in any country. You are to go there only if you can find a legit work, not as an illegal immigrant, drug dealer, prostitute,Internet fraudster, etc.
The meaning of the post is that if by "chance" you were able to secure a job in any one of these countries, and worked your very best. Then you will become a millionaire in no time.
Take for instance, working as a doctor in Norway earns you $196,843 per year which is about 81,603,432 naira.
Working as a lawyer in UK earns you about £145,000 per year which is about 78,497,649 naira.
Working as an Engineer in China earns you about $31,225 ,per year, which is about 12,943,387 naira
Working as an English teacher in Kuwait earns you about 1,110 KWD per month which is about 1,505536 naira per month and 18,066,432 naira per year. 18 million per year!
Working as a nurse in Saudi Arabia earns you 12,200 SAR per month which is about 1,348,000 naira, just multiply by 12!
Working as a Taxi driver in Canada earns you about 42,887 Canadian dollars per year which is about 14,094,000 naira, which is not too bad for a Cab driver. So much time wasted, Let me show you the list.

Are you tired of staying in a country of 216,746,934 people with a GDP of $496.69 billion. which translate to a GDP of $2,289 per capita. When somewhere in the world a country of 17,211,447 people has a GDP of $954.93 billion which translate to 55,482 per capita.
If, yes then here you are, but please note, that it is easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for your to immigrate to some of the countries on the list. Also note that it is 99.9% impossible to get a Job in some of the countries on this list.

huptin:
I know you love your tribal person, which is not a bad thing. But elevating her global influence and popularity beyond the realistic threshold is simple fantasy.

You aren't sure am Yoruba but you already felt whatever i wrote was due to tribalism, i don't engage in revisionism to advance my tribal sentiments.

The truth is: you may call Buhari anything o, but today he has more influence in global matters than Okonjo Iweala, your goddess.

Okonjo is simply an employee, she can never be more influential than her employers, if Buhari is sagacious he stands a billion times better chance than Okonjo Iweala to attract investment into Nigeria.

No serious investor will bring a kobo into any country based on the advice or persuasion of a WTO president, he will need the assurance of the government, the real decision makers!

So how would an ordinary employee of world bank not even the MD at that time wield so much influence as to cancel the debt of a whole nation, in your dreams try to knock yourself awake atimes.

As for Obasanjo, like him o, hate him o, he is one of the most reputable African leaders ever! His international influence and connections are world renowned.

If you think harvard certificates confer any international influence on some one, does Joe Biden have one? What about Putin?, Mandela? Macron? Etc.

Even in your wildest dreams never elevate the influence of an employee above the head of a sovereign nation, the largest black nation on earth!

It doesn't make any sense to sane people!

Your comment on tribal person expresses your tribalistic nature. I’m not an igbo, I’m a Yoruba who stands for the truth, Your points are as clueless as you are, Biden, Mandela, Macron are all college graduate, stop being a lover of falsehood.

huptin:
Very very funny, please this infantile banter is leading to no where! How many employees does the world bank have? How many of them have been able to wield any influence on presidents?

Okonjo Iweala must be a super employee with magical powers to be capable of influence world leader's decisions.

Oya now, let her influence investments to Nigeria now, shebi the country is begging for it and she is the president of WTO, let her use her magic to bring in just one fortune 500 company to Nigeria. Ordinary twitter she can't even influence, it is now debt forgiveness that she will influence, oga i like you, you live a life full of fantasies, where a world bank employee will call the president of the United states to influence his decision, and a minister of finance will be responsible for debt forgiveness for a while nation.

Ignorance is indeed bliss...keep enjoying it!

Do you skip read! stop the display of ignorance didn’t you read that she persuaded the retired Old Soldier to hold meeting with world leaders? Anyway, I have come to realize that your opinion is only a result of tribalistic hatred for a certain tribe, I won't spend time giving you so much attention on this thread. You live in a world of your own imagination and your imagination is contrary to the real wold happenings. I wish you more years in advance as you continue licking the black butt of your retired Messiah whom was responsible for Military coups and many of the Chaos of the past which still haunt Nigeria down to this day.
God bless the Harvard and MIT scholar and Economist who got Nigeria out of our debt crisis. Yet, lapdogs like you argue in favour of a semi literate, retired gun wielding maniac, who cannot even explain the concept of micro economics, but "cleared Nigeria's debt". Please stop the hate, and stop the tribalism. For the fact that i'm a Yoruba doesn’t mean I should avert the truth, and trust me, You are also a Yoruba. Please behave your self on my thread!

Awon ndi developers : Shaming Nigeria since 1898

huptin:
Which whole world? Who are the whole world? Mention names! Quote sources! By the whole world i am sure you are referring to yourself and your ilk?

Anybody that believes an employee of the world bank wields more influence than a president of a country needs to get quality education.

Even now as the president of the WTO Nigeria is indeed in severe need of investment, we are losing investment massively, even our oil and gas, investors are dumping their investments and taking off, what can she do about it? What has she done about it?

Again under Goodluck, why didn't she do same? Okonjo iweala may have been a good employee of the world bank but she had Zero influence on heads of states of the most developed countries of the world.
.i am not even sure if she would have been able to place a call through to the United states president as at that time? I am sure even if she tried the president would have asked "Okonjo what?"

You have only expressed your level of undiluted ignorance by saying she had Zero influence on heads of states. For your information, She had been working at the WORLD bank in Washington DC. As managing director, she had oversight responsibility for the World Bank’s $81 billion operational portfolio in Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Central Asia. Okonjo-Iweala spearheaded several World Bank initiatives to assist low-income countries during the 2008–2009 food crises and later during the financial crisis. In 2010, she was the chair person of the IDA replenishment, the World Bank’s successful drive to raise $49.3 billion in grants and low-interest credit for the poorest countries in the world.
Why would she do the same? How does that sounds in your ear? SMH. Why didn’t Johnathan do the same? Was he not an Obasanjo boy, was it not Obasanjo who made him what he was?
Iweala cleared Nigeria’s debt, phone calls do not, let me remind you that she had been meeting with world leaders before her Obasanj’s appointment. Or have you forgotten she is a Washington DC fellow?
Why didn’t Obasanjo clear Nigeria’s debt before he appointed her, or why didn't he clear it during his Military regime. He was just a retired Old Soldier, She was a Harvard trained economist, who persuaded the lamely educated soldiers to hold meetings with world leaders. Get your points accurately!

huptin:
This is tales by moonlight. How can an employee single handedly buy back the loan of her own country? Isn't that a gross abuse of her office, assuming she even had that power.

Paris club and world bank have a governing board and decisions like that rest with them, not even the world bank president have such powers.

Mention one other world bank employee tha has been able to achieve that!

Employees do not take executive decisions they execute. If it was so easy no country will owe, every body will just tell their citizens employed by world bank to cancel their debts at will.

Obasanjo visited and hosted all the who is who in world politics, they never declined, if they did, provide the link. They were only interested in ensuring that the money saved is judiciously utilised.

They listed so many conditions, including the establishment of EFCC, ICPC, the due process office etc.

Okonjo iweala was an employee of world bank introduced to Obasanjo, she was not even a member of paris club, so how would she have been able to influence such a huge decision, taken by heads of state of developed countries?

She wasn't even the MD of the world bank, it was after after serving Obasanjo that she was made the MD, and she failed massively when she attempted to become the president

Do you think the world bank and paris club are one esusu organisation where employees can be allowed to take decisions on debt cancellation and forgiveness? Even here in Nigeria, such decisions rest with the executive board, not even the GMD can unilaterally take that decision.

Please upgrade your knowledge!

PS, i just reread your statement up there, that world Powers declined Obasanjo now handed over to Okonjo Iweala, (an employee of world bank) haba now, even if you are telling stories, check for validity!

An employee of an organisation will wield such huge powers? Employee of world bank o, whose country is not even a member of the paris club?

Come on, oya name an employee in the whole world that have such powers? Just one!

This is the craziest tale by moonlight i ever heard. Even now as the president of the World Trade Organisation, there is nothing, absolutely nothing she can do to help Nigeria without the express approval of the executive board! And she can't be seen to be lobbying inappropriately for Nigeria! She will be asked to resign.

You think international organisations are like Nigerian presidency where nepotism is the order of the day?

Yours are tales by the Sunlight, the whole world knows she was responsible for Nigeria’s debt cancellation. The political arguments for debt relief were not going to change – that Nigeria was Africa's most populous country, that the millennium development goals would never be reached without debt relief, that Nigeria was an important source of geopolitical stability in Africa, and so on. But the country had suffered so much economic mismanagement over the years that its biggest creditors – the UK, France, and Germany –
weren't convinced that debt relief, in the absence of economic reforms, would do any good. So Okonjo-Iweala's strategy changed. When she first met the finance ministers of US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia in 2003, she didn't ask for any debt relief at all. Rather, she spelled out her economic policies, and told the assembled creditors that if and when she could show that those policies were working, then she'd ask for debt relief. "We would ask for relief because we had done the right things," she says. The main plank of Okonjo-Iweala's policy is the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy, or Needs. She calls it "a very well defined structural reform programme" that is designed to provide macroeconomic stability through a combination of non-oil GDP growth, disinflation, management of foreign reserves, fiscal discipline and budget transparency at both the federal and state levels. She says that simply publishing the amount of money that each state of the federation gets every month "has been a revolution". Now, she says, "people ask what is
happening to their money at the local government level"
and demand accountability. But "the single biggest achievement", according to Okonjo-Iweala, was her success in delinking the budget from oil prices. "We know that oil prices are mean-reverting," she says. "We have to plan carefully for the day when oil prices come down."That year the budget was based on oil at $25 per barrel and the next year it is based on oil at $30 per barrel: revenues beyond that are not automatically spent as they come in. As a result, Nigeria's foreign reserves have started rising, and the groundwork was laid for the Paris Club agreement.There was still the problem of the IMF, however. The Paris Club doesn't agree to debt relief unless an IMF agreement is in place, and Okonjo-Iweala didn't want one. "If you want to stop reform dead in its tracks, the best thing you can do is to invite in the IMF," she says. "If Nigerians thought that this was being imposed from outside, it would never succeed." But Okonjo-Iweala was convinced that her programme was tougher than anything the IMF could come up with. So she persuaded OBASANJO to invite the IMF to look over the country's books on a quarterly basis – something called a "policy support instrument". It's essentially a way in which Nigeria can certify to the rest of the world, and specifically to the Paris Club, that it is doing the right thing, without having a formal IMF
programme in place. Once Needs was in place and working, Okonjo-Iweala started thinking about how to get a Paris Club
agreement. "We were told you need a champion," she says, so she started lobbying the obvious one: the UK government. Not only was the UK Nigeria's largest creditor, it was also about to chair the G8, where it wanted to emphasize debt relief. Bilateral discussions took about six months, but in the
end the UK was utterly convinced. Between them, senior UK Treasury official Jon Cunliffe and chancellor of the exchequer Gordon Brown, international development minister Hilary Benn, and prime minister Tony Blair proved a formidable team to go to bat alongside Nigeria to persuade the rest of the Paris Club to come to an agreement.

Just like saying, we should blame the present Economic minister for the economy situation of the country instead of the President

No, just like saying the Economic minister gets Nigeria out of this mess, by paying of our debts and making naira 50 / 1 dollar, and then someone credits Buhari for the achievement, Buhari, not his Government.
The dude I replied was actually giving the credit to Obasanjo, making it seem like he was an economist and was responsible for the debt clearance. Give honor to whom it is due, said the Zik of Africa.
