In response to the first point you raised, are you assuming that APC governors in the North will simply fold their arms and watch a largely uneducated electorate vote against their preferred candidates without doing everything within their power to influence the outcome? You also have to consider the implications of APC losing those states, especially since the governorship elections are only two weeks after the presidential election. Do you really think those governors would risk losing both levels of power? Mind you 2031 is also assumed to be the turn of the north and mostvof them are also interested in being presidents, Ministers, Ambassadors and senators. If you assume that they will do business with Atiku, what does Atiku have to offer them that Tinubu cant possibly provide?

On your second point about appointments, how many appointments can a president realistically make in one administration? Buhari pursued a similarly parochial approach in making appointments, yet his core supporters still voted overwhelmingly for him. Also, remember that governors today have significantly more financial autonomy than before. They receive more money than ever, and many are able to spend, move, and even launder funds with little fear of agencies like the EFCC or ICPC. My point is that politics is driven by far more than just federal appointments.

Regarding Obasanjo kneeling to appeal to Atiku, the circumstances were entirely different. It is widely known that Atiku played a significant role in financing Obasanjo's 1999 presidential campaign after his release from prison. That explains why Atiku enjoyed enormous influence, respect, and responsibility in the Obasanjo administration. In fact, Atiku commanded the loyalty of many PDP governors and even some politicians outside the PDP often more than the president himself, because of the political influence he wielded within both the party and the government. Tinubu's situation is completely different. Shettima did not bankroll Tinubu's rise, and Tinubu is widely regarded as a hands-on leader who maintains firm control over virtually every aspect of his administration.

As for Goodluck Jonathan, he is from my part of the country, and his defeat in 2015 had unique circumstances. There was a widespread belief that he was only expected to complete Yar'Adua's tenure and serve one additional term. On top of that, before the election, more than seven governors had already defected from the PDP, largely because of what they perceived as Jonathan's high-handedness. Today, how many northern or southern APC governors have left the party? TINUBU also appointed an INEC chairman who is a kinsman, RECs who are recommended by inner circle members and he has also learnt from Jonathan that the mob is always fickle

I don't know where you're from, but here in Rivers State, despite all the noise from the usual critics, most of the political heavyweights and traditional rulers are aligned with Tinubu. Just last week, while reviewing government expenditure data on a public platform, I noticed that Ateke Tom has reportedly been receiving over 280 million monthly from the Federal Government. Asari is also doing business with the Federal Government. A few weeks ago, Tompolo launched his neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood campaign structure for Tinubu, and many prominent traditional rulers from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, and even parts of the South-West attended. Keep in mind that Tompolo reportedly benefits from contracts linked to the protection of crude oil and is allegedly being paid with100,000 barrels of oil per day, and he would likely have spent substantial resources to assemble people of that calibre for the event.

I still maintain that only something extraordinary, such as death, would prevent him from seeking re-election. I also heard that he has allegedly eamarked about 2 trillion personally for 2027. Shettima is also considerd to have his own war chest, while governors collectively have about 800b for 2o27. In my view, Nigerians have historically found it difficult to sustain coordinated political pressure strong enough to unseat an incumbent administration. If there were truly overwhelming public resolve to remove Tinubu, it likely would have manifested much earlier rather than being postponed until the election year. Ultimately, many Nigerians prioritise stability and day-to-day survival, even when they are dissatisfied with prevailing economic conditions.

I now realise that we actually agree on something.

If it will take something extraordinary to get rid of that monster they call BAT in 2027, then it will have to take something extraordinary.

God will keep us all alive to see what happens.

Godfullsam:
I will screenshot this your comment and paste it on your face as soon as the results of the next year election is announced.

People with logic are telling you what's up, you are still allowing emotions to override your thinking.

Take your own advice Mr man. You wouldn't recognize 'logic' even if it were your own shadow. God will keep us all alive, that's all I can say. No time for silly arguments.

vanitybutiwanti:
[b]on numerous occasions i have come across your comments you are always so sure that Tinubu will be removed next year, I beg to disagree. The mistake some of you make, you erroneously assume that the APC does not have supporters. I am not a registered member of APC but recall that APC has over 30 governors and in those states there are LGA Chairmen, councillors, commissioners, heads of state agencies, permanent secretary, traditional rulers, CDC Chairmen, security agents and agencies and other government appointees aligned with the party in the state. All of these positions i have mentioned are politically induced, if Tinubu loses, the implication is that people in those positions in over 30 state will not be returning and will consequently lose their means of livelihood. What Makes you think that they will not fight in their respective states to deliver Tinubu? Remember that this is Nigeria and majority do not even care about politics, yes people make a lot of noise in the media but most times it's just hot air.[/b]

In an APC governed state for example, what do you think it going to cost the governor to mobilize about 5k persons who are aligned with his interest to man and occupy collation centers after voting? Can the so called masses who largely do not care about elections overpower those 5k persons who will be having the support and backing of the state with its attendant paraphernalia?

Lasly sir, this is Nigeria and from the way I see things only death will stop Tinubu from returning next year not unreliable Nigerian masses and empty social media rhetorics.

Your argument is flawed. Even if Tinubu has 36 governors, he will not return to power. And there are three main reasons: (1) The fact that he is not a northerner. (2) his extreme tribalism (3) the abjectly poor performance that is objectively the worst in Nigeria's history since 1960, even worse than what Nigerians suffered during IBB's SAP programme in the late 1980s.

A southerner has to perform extremely well to earn two terms. In spite of the fantastic progress Obasanjo achieved in his first 4 years - stabilizing the economy, debt forgiveness and so forth, he had to cry blood and prostrate for Atiku in order to manage to get his second term. Even at that, Obasanjo was nationalistic and carried everybody along in his first and second terms. Imagine he had displayed tribalism in his first term, appointing only Yorubas into every position? He would not have come back, that's for sure. In any case, Obasanjo had the South East, South South, North Central on lock down. The core north still threw their 12 million votes at Buhari in 2003.

We all know what happened to Goodluck in 2015, no need to discuss that. After all, he had plenty PDP governors across the north. What did they do for him?

A South Westerner like Tinubu who in his first term, destroyed the economy from the very first day he was sworn in, and proceeded to arrogantly appoint only Yorubas into every important position, and then carry on as if his Yorubas are the majority tribe in Nigeria, is actually morbidly funny.

The entire freaking country can't stand this horrible Tinubu: he has alienated the South East, he has alienated the South South and Middle Belt, and of course he has alienated the core north that brought him to power. Where exactly is the support cushion that can allow him rig elections?

Look, I am not allowed to say what is waiting for him next year if he tries rubbish, because it will be very ugly. All I can say is that God will keep us alive. I would be surprised if he even has the liver toa actually contest the election. And then after that, we will see the horror movie that will unfold before our eyes. Enough said.

Not only the northerners, but the rest of Nigeria basically.

I've never seen this kind of thing before. A miserable character like Tinubu, who managed to sneak into power with a mere 8 million stolen votes whereas the other 3 major candidates scored a collective 16 million votes, yet common sense did not tell him that the only way he can survive is to run an inclusive, nationalist government. Instead, he quickly settled down to turn everything into a purely yoruba affair, damning the rest of the country. And his people are cheering him on and claiming that it is their turn Who does that?

As if that is not bad enough, he destroyed the economy and raised inflation to unprecedented levels. Why not leave the economy the way it is, so that as you are doing your tribalistic government, the masses can carry on with their lives with apathy. Instead you ar unleashing wickedness side by side with extreme tribalism. Again I ask, who does that?

These people will suffer the consequences for a very long time. Next year is here. We will all be alive to see what will happen. Shebi you think you own government, INEC and the courts. You will quickly have your doubts cleared.

soullove1881:
exactly, we need this across the country, from North to East to South and West

most especially East, they need to start acknowledging Muslims in their state with Deputy or speaker

fairness is what Nigeria needs now

Some of you can talk rubbish.

Come back to negotiate for Muslim deputy governor in the South East, after a Christian becomes deputy governor in Sokoto or Zamfara State, and after a Christian Christian presidential ticket rules Nigeria for at least four years. The Christians need to balance the injustice of the current Tinubu Muslim Muslim presidency, for ojoro cancel.

All this una taqqiya deceptive logic isn't fooling anyone.

It will forever remain that way.

That's why I hate to see mugu men, simps, who have some money and still pedestalize women. Rich simps are a cancer to society.

If you happen to be doing well enough (by whatever operative, objective standard related to the women that come your way), it is imperative to not take nonsense and to put them in their place. Utmost emotional detachment - or at least conditional affections - must be your play book with women as a 'guided' dude. Channel all your emotional attachment to making and sustaining your money. E get why.

You go see money miss road muntula go dey cry for one nonsense woman and put up with her rubbish. Always tragic to see.

franvincoop:
I don't know if Tinubu will come back in 2027.
All I know is that the election will go to a 2nd round and Tinubu is already in the 2nd round waiting for a challenger be it Atiku or Obi.
It's for Atiku and Obi to decide who will meet Tinubu in the ring for 2nd round election.

Imagine just for a second that Atiku meets with Tinubu in the 2nd round, which makes Obi the Kingmaker as whomever Obi supports will win the 2nd round elections.
I would love to watch Obidients vote for Tinubu in the 2nd round against Atiku as it would be interesting to watch Obidients bend over backwards to woo Atiku or watch them defend the Muslim Muslim ticket based on rotation of power from North to South.
New lessons will be learnt again in 2027, this time na students go dey give lectures.

No Obidient, except yoruba Obidients, will vote for Tinubu in the event that it boils down to a direct contest between Atiku and Tinubu.

I understand your prediction and it is not far from the truth that I know implicitly. And I also share your quasi 'admiration' for Tinubu in some respects, especially the 'fearlessness' in pushing through an agenda.

However, the plan you alluded to will not work for the same reasons you also alluded to: his extreme tribalism and his disdain for the masses.

Look, we are all seeing how he is stealing Nigeria blind to channel national resources to his Lagos and South West to give them an unfair headstart ahead of the planned regionalism. This has always been the agenda of these elements in the original Afenifere, Yorubatic bloc, starting from the Awolowo school of thought, but assumed a militant dimension during the post 1993' period. That is why Obasanjo mentioned in his reply to Osoba that they asked him after he assumed power in 1999 that, now that Yoruba are in power, what will the Yorubas do with power? Anyone who can read between the lines should know exactly what this kind of loaded notion implies.

Their agenda has always been to use the Nigerian presidency to empower the South West. The idea of regionalism or restructuring as espoused by them is a euphemism for using Nigeria's resources to empower Yorubaland, and then to hell with whatever remains of Nigeria.

That is where the problem will arise, because other Nigerians can see through this. Any idea of genuine restructuring must be done in good faith. And only a benevolent dictator with national stature like Obasanjo could have pulled this off, but he bungled it. This is where I agree with you that if Obasanjo had the 'good' qualities you ascribe to Tinubu, along with his proven nationalistic stature, he would have successfully pulled this off. But someone like Tinubu of all people attempting this, will not end well. I am willing to bet anything on that.

So, assuming but not conceding that he successfully snatches and grabs his way into retaining power in 2027, trust me, the shadowy ghouls and evil spirits (principalities of Nigeria) will rise and get him out of that place one way or the other. And we know exactly where those ghouls will originate from. This is a categorical imperative that I am not mincing words on.

Nobody will watch him rob Nigeria to pay Oduduwa, only to now claim restructuring and regionalism. It will not happen. Anyone who will implement restructuring has to do it in good faith and on fair terms. Not on the basis of one sided ethnocentric plunder.

If Nigeria divides into:


1.) Biafra comprising only Southeast

2.) Oduduwa comprising only Southwest

3.) Niger Delta

4.) Middlebelt


Oduduwa will be the first to bounce back better within the first 10 years of breakup with the help of Lagos state.


Niger Delta will be the second based on enormous crude oil wealth.

Biafra will be the next based on shared value, commitment and decades of agitation plus strong diaspora population input.


Middlebelt will be next.


Arewa comprising of Northwest and Northeast will be the worst affected and it will take them decades or century to recover.



10 to 15 years later, Biafra will take the lead as the most prosperous and advanced after overcoming initial challenges of leadership.


Oduduwa will begin to slow down in progress as most Igbos finally depart Lagos and other Oduduwa states back to Biafra, this will affect the economy of Lagos and Oduduwa nation so much that it will take them decades to recover and refocus their economy to pick up back. But what will help Oduduwa to finally pickup after an initial shock is their nature of following one political leader's direction, plus their high level of educated people. They will later face challenge of religious direction as Muslims will try to overshadow Christians and traditional worshippers, this will be one of their greatest challenge after breakup of Nigeria.


Niger Delta will start experiencing another round of agitation from 10 years and above as their differences will become visible due to Ijaws trying to overshadow other ethnicities that makeup Niger Delta nation, especially the Igbo speaking parts who will start to feel marginalized under Niger Delta, this will create a Nigerian type of leadership crises in Niger Delta nation, it will take another referendum or breakup to get things in order.


Arewa will continue to struggle due to extreme Islamic religious doctrines and practice plus Sharia law, which will create multiple Jihadist groups clamoring for control of the Arewa nation. This will make it difficult for them to harness their greatest asset; landmass/agriculture. I don't know how they will overcome their challenges but with time, maybe after 100yrs, the new generation may want a change from Islamic religious doctrines and maybe a change will come there.


As for Middlebelt, they will continue to battle with the Hausa-Fulani population that will go with them as Middlebelt Nation. They will create serious identity crises for them. I also don't know how they will overcome their challenges.

Interesting read. But the devil is always in the details.

I feel there is nothing like a potential Niger Delta Republic, just as the concepts of South South and Middle Belt are unworkable contraptions. There is no headway.

If you say Niger Delta Republic, where exactly does it begin and where does it end? Because the average Bini or Esan person in Edo State is not a Niger Delta Person. Neither is the Ogoja man in Cross River, or the Kwale man in Delta State.

You can best call all of them 'South South' for categorization sake, but then, imagine a South South country and how chaotic it would be? It would be worse than Nigeria as it currently is. Probably worse than Sudan or South Sudan. I can imagine the endless quest for domination between Ijaw and itsekiri, while Annang and Ibibio would chook head occasionally, while Bini and the entirety of Edo as we know it today will be crying about historical balderdash. It will be a hot mess that cannot have any resolution. The country will implode and will be a thoroughly unliveable and unworkable junk of an entity.

The Middle Belt will suffer a similar fate, caused by completely different factors. Who exactly is Middle Belt? Is it the Jos man or the Idoma man or Tiv, or even Igala or who? The Fulani intrusions into parts of what we know today as Middle Belt means that the Fulani will make mincemeat of these guys, from Plateau to Benue to Kwara to Kogi. It will be a tragi-comedy. All these loosely assembled wheels of unity will fall off as quickly as tires coupled together with sellotape rather than wheel nuts.

There's a reason all of these guys are eerily silent whenever tales of division come up.

Even the South West, as confident and smugly self satisfied as they currently advertise themselves to be with this their Lagos, they know that Lagos is what it is because of the unfair advantage and contributions from the entirety of Nigerians - especially the Igbos they love to hate. Look at how they are stealing Nigeria's national wealth now and channelling it to their Lagos and their people. They know that these benefits and freebies would disappear if ever an Oduduwa Republic becomes reality. They know that an Oduduwa Republic with a Lagos stripped of participation by other Nigerians, including Igbos, who will gradually channel their resources to their own countries will eventually be exposed as a shiny object without substance. Look at Warri for example - a shadow of itself. Compare the desolate Warri of today to the pseudo Miami it was purporting to be before the locals used their terrible behaviour to chase away oil majors and other oil industry corporates.

Brendaniel:
Later some people will try to be gas lighting Igbos for speaking out, you ask them : what is the Igbo man's offense in Nigeria?

They don't attack Fulani despite all the atrocities they have committed and still committing, and don't have a problem having them as president and supporting them to achieve it despite all the evil they have done and still doing...

That's why whenever you hear them say: Peter Obi will never be president, it is not because they feel he is incompetent or a bad person, but because he is Igbo and supported by Igbos.

Just think for a moment and ask yourself why the very same people who supported Buhari twice despite his statement that killed southern corpers including their own and his fellow tribesmen killing their own people in their own land for 8 years yet had no problem with him and his tribe and have no problem supporting another Fulani man in future.

But just mention Peter Obi and you see them swearing up and down... That's why Nigeria is the way it is today, sadly it is affecting them negatively, but it seems like they don't even care about themselves, how would such people care about other Nigerians?

Igbos must have institutional memory. These prejudices and injustices specifically by the South West must be repaid in full. Their useless Tinubu will not be in power forever. However long it takes, retribution must happen.

TopBanter:
@OP.

Lol. Obi has literally being losing support since Tinubu won 2023 election because his talk and actions showed ignorant Nigerians, who had followed him blindly, Obi is empty when they had believed him to be 'change'.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a previously passionate Obidients who worked for Obi in 2022-2023, became his biggest and most bitter critic once he realised Obi's lack of leadership capacity.

You will see how poorly Obi will perform next year to come third.

And Tinubu because of his own lack of talk and perverse actions have gained followers since the 2023 election, right? So you actually pretend to think that even one objective, organic, non South West Nigerian voter will withdraw support from Peter Obi and transfer to Tinubu of all people, with everything that Nigerians have suffered since 2023 till now? Mehn, I just can't waste time on you people.

Some of you live in echo chambers and you are severely detached from reality.

I don't blame you. If you have so much confidence in your rigging plans, a rude shock awaits you.

The most annoying is those disgusting elements who claim that they are no longer supporting Peter Obi because Obidients are too "insulting" or too intolerant or too "toxic" or whatever. This includes slimy characters like Isaac Fayose and others of his origin and stock.

Are you supporting Obi on his own merit as you know that he is light years better than Tinubu, or you are just fooling yourself and your fickle ego by anchoring the so called 'support' on comments of some supposed Obi supporters online?


I've never seen a more perverse and ridiculous point of view than this.

boxypane:
When I wrote on the platform that his fan base will dwindle so low before the next election... Some lose guard say na wash... If Obi get 1,000,000 votes, he'd be shocked.

You people like consoling yourselves with rubbish. Peter Obi's fan base will dwindle, and then Tinubu's fan base will increase, for what reason exactly? I don't know what is wrong with you people.

Let anything happen to him first, and then we shall all learn interesting lessons. When e set, even the useless jaga-whatever would run to France for asylum as a refugee but he will be smoked out and will suffer worse than Charles Taylor. You think Peter Obi is Funsho W?

Very silly people. In the same Nigeria we know that any useless MC Oluomo or Yahoo Boy moves around with police escorts, you are forming 'due process' for the leading presidential candidate with millions of organic, passionate supporters. God, I will never forgive these creatures and I swear they will suffer repercussions.

Parachoko:
Keep on comparing a Democrat operating in a Democracy with Authoritarians

Arindi

Continue deceiving yourself. We will all be here, and alive by God's grace. Even though you will resort to noise making and 'hintellecshua hopposition' (as per your hitherto 'hactivism') when the time comes soonest.

But unfortunately for you and your kind, the horse has left the stable. You will all have to suffer in the wilderness for donkey years for your unforgivable sins. It is a must.

Parachoko:
Neither of Atiku or Obi can win the 2027 Presidential Election

Wike has nothing to be scared of

Abacha had it all figured out. So did Gaddafi.. And Hosni Mubarak, and the rest of them too numerous to mention. Make una continue. All 'sense' and no wisdom.

Very shallow thinking. Nigeria and Nigerians are a pathetic lot.

You think Medicare is about infrastructure alone (hospital buildings and equipment)? After using the stolen billions of dollars by your politicians to build 'world class' PRIVATE hospitals, it will still be operated by incompetent, corrupt, negligent doctors... The kind of useless doctors that caused the death of Chimamanda Adichie's child. And the corrupt system in Nigeria is protecting the useless doctors and the useless 'premium' hospital. What a crude joke!

Gotocourt:
Wike own go loud, he'll run out of Nigeria.

Let him pray that Peter Obi wins, because at least Obi will not interfere with the courts, which will allow Wike to use his money and existing contacts to get off the hook.

But if Atiku enters that place, even if Wike runs to North Korea, Atiku will fish him out via extraordinary rendition or crating - Nnamdi Kanu or Umaru Dikko treatment. It is as sure as anything.

seunmsg:
I have said this severally but very ignorant folks attacked me. Now that it is coming from World bank, I hope they get better understanding. Even without corruption, Nigeria cannot develop to become a first world country with our very ridiculously low budget that we can't even fund. Since 2024, we have been unable to fund our annual Federal Government budget.

To make maters worse, Nigerians want a freebies socialist government. They want free education, free electricity, free healthcare, heavily subsidized PMS, subsidized exchange rate, excellent public infrastructure that are free to use, and very low taxes. So, who pays for all these?

On average, we pump about 1.4 million barrels of crude oil daily. After removing cost of production, 50% goes to the oil company and FG goes to the Federation Account. We then share to all 774 LGA's, 36 states and FG. With 220 million people to provide for, what is left?

Any presidential candidate that is serious and truthful must present a realistic plan on how to increase the Federation Account annual inflow to at least $100 BILLION in the next four years. If not, then absolutely nothing will change.

Is didn't bother to read your rubbish after "I have said it severally".

You said it "severally" because your agbado brother is the president, or your yeye APC is in power? Did you say it "severally" during Goodluck Jonathan's administration?

Nonsense people. Make una continue. We would neither forgive nor forget.

You sacrificed your life for "demon-crazy", but you are still alive - after sacrificing your life. No be juju be that?

If you this discredited, murderous, certificateless, extremely corrupt, drug dealing rogue claims to have sacrificed his life for the nonsense we are suffering today, what would the likes of Funsho Williams and Yinka... Say? (You should know). Not to mention MKO, Dele Giwa, Alex Ibru, Alfred Rewane, etc.?

I don't blame you. Just wait. You will be alive to witness your own disgraceful unravelling.... A worse fate than being skinned alive.

Pacesetter123:
But what brings out goosebumps from my body is the police report that the man,Tanimola kpai in a fire incident in hotel in Abuja 5 days before the arrest of Adeniyi Adeyemi.
Ehehehhen,so fire break out in hotel and burnt only him and after that quench?
Wow! Wow! Real wow!!

This is the part that troubles me the most. And yet nobody even in this thread bothered to mention it until you did. Scary, the kind of evil country we live in.

This shows you we have blood thirsty gangsters in the presidency, starting from the Chicago gangster in chief himself. These are very dangerous people who deploy drug syndicate tactics. The fact that Nigerians allowed these monsters take over presidential power would haunt us for decades to come. God forbid.

He is just a bratty gadfly who does not evoke sincerity or proven competence. People like that would be terrible hypocrites and turncoats if you allow them come close to power. Examples abound. Look at the likes of Adams Oshiomhole.

So you would have to either be a proven thief who manipulates and throws money around like Tinubu or Atiku, or you are a breath of fresh air like Peter Obi whose message and communication is endearing: a wealthy man who is evidently prudent and simple, who has held high public office and yet was not found to be corrupt or intoxicated by power, who seems to be sincere and pro people in outlook.

Sowore has no clear messaging other than shalaye-ing up and down and threatening fire and brimstone. There is no method to his madness, at least in terms of making any serious political impact. You can't really go far with such empty theatrics.

He should have rented a shop inside a mall or even Shoprite to sell his akara. If he removes N5k from the N50k budget Oluremi recommended, he would be able to pay a good shop rent for 2 years.

You can't be constituting nuisance on Lagos roads because you want to sell akara.

In fact, he should go back to his state to sell akara.
Lagos is a mega city and not for such nonsense.

ogascomax:
He knows what he is talking about. Many rich people or wealthy people did not do special things to become billionaire. Many find themselves in a place of opportunities. Look those who became rich with Bitcoin. Some people lost their passwords, some sold their coins.
It was just grace that made plenty people rich. Many did not do any special thing and I repeat that.

The truth is even deeper than that. Let's even not start with 'natural' capacity itself, which is the ultimate luck. That you were born with propensity for mental clarity, or wit, sharp thinking, or charisma, oratory, social intelligence, any of - or a combination - of these, is in itself 'luck'. Because you did not choose the ridiculously impossible combination of factors that shape your DNA. So let's leave that fundamental level of luck.

Many people with the talent or natural abilities that would have increased their chances of being an Elumelu, even those of his set, chose to do things like lecturing, literature, medicine, and on and on. And maybe they succeeded at being accomplished university lecturers or novelists/journalists or doctors or whatever, but even at their best, they wouldn't be billionaires anywhere near Elumelu's level. Simply because they were not "lucky" enough to pour their natural abilities into Elumelu's field (banking).

But that's not as simple as it is in reality. Because many also chose banking, and worked hard at it and were smart enough, but they retired as a regional manager somewhere, while a 'mere' lecturer like Goodluck Ebele Jonathan somehow found himself attaining the position of president of Nigeria, which is even superior to Elumelu's accomplishments.

As we speak there are people with absolutely zero effort, talent or whatever who have no jobs or businesses, but they lounge all day in one mansion or apartment in Maitama or Banana Island watching Netflix, with their passport on their lap, waiting to fly this night or next week to Paris for a routine weekend getaway... While 'awon intelligent hard workers' slave away everyday for crumbs,with their BP medicine and panadol always in their breast pocket. Don't ask me how. The matter complex.

Look, life is a joke. Anyone that does not believe in luck, probability, 'grace', favour or whatever you choose to call it, is a victim of your own delusion.

Nackzy:
There's nothing like luck.. it's only a moving man that will meet his luck meaning he was working very hard.. so it's work not hard work

So all "moving men" meet their luck, or what are you saying?

This kind of self-adulating entitlement mentality is amusing for those of us who are light years ahead in philosophical thinking.

You could as well say that you deserve to win the lottery just because you were 'moving man' enough to buy the ticket that millions of other people also bought but did not win.
