Jagaban forever

Of course. He can forever be your god, even long after he kpais. You can even hang his photograph in your living space (if you're not a homeless vagabond), and worship him morning, afternoon and night until your days come to an end. It is your choice.

When I visited Abuja, I had to lodge over my budget at a very fanciful Hotel I never planned to due to an extra day overstay. The hotel room per night cost me 40% already of what I was to earn and I wasn't happy. The cheaper options I saw looked insecure.

Hi, do you have any soup? Banga or Afang.

We have Fang with pampered (not peppered) snail and assorted.

Ha, give me the banga. Wait, how much please?


Ok sir, it's ₦60k.

...sixteeeeeeennn kayy?


No, sir. ₦60k per plate. You aren't paying for the pando.


(I go pay you ₦60k and pay for pando separately before?)

Well, how much is a bottle of water?

We sell Nestle and it is ₦5000 per bottle for the pet sizes


I refused to buy their bottle water for ₦5000 per bottle in the hotel's restaurant and I went out to get it. I was looking at some random girls giggling when I asked about the price and left in utter i-no-fit-ism. They felt like I really cared about heir fake lives and sponsored existence.

I bought a full pack of big-sized Nestle for ₦4000 containing about 20 packs as I drove out to get some massa, Hollandia and Abuja suya, put it in my backseat and drove in. Went up, put it in the fridge to chill and guess what? It tastes like water still! And it's fcking not ₦5000 per one!

Which hotel charged you N60k for Affang soup? Not even Transcorp Hilton will charge that much. How much did you pay for the room?

504 ke. Who still drives 504?

Nigerians are only good at theorising causes of problems. Not actionable solutions.

A pathetic country.

When this menace called tinibu entered and implemented demonic policies that killed the economy and drove away the few giants like GSK that we were managing, the oily mouthed PSN ex president did not come out to cry foul.

The extent of damage that this tinibu felon has done to Nigeria has revealed how docile and completely useless Nigerians are
It is too late. Even pushing him away nex year is not enough. Nigerians have to deal thoroughly with him. Worse than the most evil despots in history. The punishment needs to be loud and shake the world. That's the only way Nigerians can regain their 'street credibility' that is currently in tatters.

Even if tinibu had won the election in 2027, he would still have denied you your much sought Senate Presidency. The earlier you sellouts stop disgracing yourselves in the futile effort to suck up to such an ethnocentric, jaundiced goat, the better.

This man is irritating beyond words.

Your useless policies caused galloping inflation, where the N35, 000 minimum wage you met is effectively worth more than N150, 000 today in purchasing power, but you deceptively 'reduced' the minimum wage to less than half of what it is (N70, 000), and then celebrate that governors are paying peanut salaries. What kind of voodoo economics is this that this irritant is working with?

highchief1:
them Dey use money win election?u think say if Dangote run for president e go win?wetin Dey even worry una.

Wetin Tinubu take win? Wetin Wike take kolombi everywhere?

Of course it takes money. A lot of it.

But to be very clear, it does not merely take the possession of money. It takes the willingness and readiness to deploy it mercilessly and strategically. Dangote na stingy man. And besides, he is not as liquid as Tinubu and Wike is/was, even before the election.

Insha Allah.

That will be a defining moment for Nigeria.

Everybody wants to use Peter Obi wave to blow. Since people saw what happened last time with Labour Party, you don't expect it to be easy this time around.

No more room for Okada riders and market women.

NDC decision makers will make serious money from all of this this time around.

Can't wait to see these disgusting men retired from Nigerian politics permanently.

The entire Nigerian public service should be disbanded and reformed. I know it is almost impossible, but it needs to be done.

95% of the entire public service across all tiers and arms of government are incompetent, unproductive, parasitic deadwood who add zero value and just leech on the resources of the country.

I have always had disdain for many Nigerian civil servants and other public service officials, especially in the way they prance about with an air of importance, despite being an absolute waste of space.

We have to find a way to entrench meritocracy and value-driven employment and remuneration if we want to move forward as a nation.

zoghys:
Both sets are bad for our image and prosperity of the country. Yahoo boys com ritualists are as bad as our politithiefians who keeps looting our common patrimony with reckless abandon.

Yeah, but the fact that you don't know a person's source of income does not automatically make them yahoo boys or ritualists. That's the point. There are many ways to make money intelligently that doesn't have to be "visible" or known to busybodies. So rather focus on the people whose jobs and income is known, which makes it automatically impossible for them to be legitimately wealthy.

zoghys:
That's a brilliant and well articulated points but this is a country where we don't ask questions. You see an average guy who can't even afford lunch and all of a sudden he's a multi millionaire with no known job or business interest and all we say is the guy na yahoo and people seems cool with that and move on. Politics is Nigeria as been so monetized that a councillor who may not even be a school sat holder turns millionaire overnight with questions asked. Sincerely, I don't think things can get better if our mindset is remains which I don't see changing.

I prefer the rich guy with no "known job or business interest" than the typical rich Nigerian public servant with KNOWN salary/income that does not justify their wealth.

Any self employed person could be doing anything and has no income cap. But the salary earner whose salary for 35 years cannot buy a duplex in any major city cannot justifiably be wealthy.

Nobody takes this self-important fool seriously.

Mirasteel:
I will never believe Nigerian politicians.

People like you disgust me. Any fool pretending that "all politicians are the same" (which essentially means that Tinubu should continue, since he is "the same" as Peter Obi and the rest), is an enemy of the people and should receive worse fate than even known disciples and foot soldiers of te current government.

As the old saying goes, you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

It's not different from what the Yorubas are doing in Lagos.

See very beautiful wife material wasted for nothing.

Sensiblerealist:
I don't care about all these nepotism shii that guys on here yap about, Naija admin na just to dey reward allies and cronies.
My own ish is that most people with this kind CV will rather stay back in UK,US or Canada. How inn collect all the degree finish for UK com dey work for OAU get as e be. I'm he is probably still on fellowship with foreign universities

Don't mind these irritating people.

So all the so-called qualifications he gathered was to come and steal money in a corrupt Nigeria government position at such a young age?

Why he is not founding and running a startup? Why is he not going to test his 'hin-telligenze' by working at SpaceX or OpenAI?

These people can only fool themselves.

DeLaRue:
I thought you people said you were tired of old people heading things in Nigeria.

As soon as a brilliant young professor with all the right credentials is appointed, you no longer care that the appointee is young and has the rare technical pedigree.

If the man is a 60 year old non Yoruba with a background in Biology and doesn'tknow his right from left when it comes to technology, you would prefer him along as he is non-Yoruba

Mr Tinubu should employ the best hands available to fill jobs of national importance, wherever they come from.

So there is no young, qualified non-yoruba person, or you just want to advertise your closet 'kobo kobo sense' inanity?

Kog45:
He doesn't have what It takes abi,a former Rivers state governor and former minister,okay Obi and Atiku have what it takes...dey there deceiving yourself

Former governor and former minister means what? Did he get any of these posts on merit?

I hate people like Amaechi who have never proven their worth in anything outside leeching on government positions in a corrupt country like Nigeria. From doing boy boy to Peter Odili, he became Speaker of RHOA, and from there, meandering from one government role to the other for about 25 years and counting. What rubbish, anybody can do that if the person is in the system.

Reminds me of these incompetent civil servants and public servants who garnish their CVs with mushroom rubbish like, "attended" several courses. Any fool can attend courses that are not examined or graded.

Tell me what Amaechi has achieved outside of government through his personal ingenuity, problem solving skills, leadership and talent? Same thing with nonentities like Wike.

Abeg talk better thing. It is an insult to compare Amaechi to a shining star like Peter Obi.

kedeojo:
most of the votes was because of religious propaganda. he can't get that again.

Because Nigerians are now happy with the Mu-Mu ticket, because the Mu-Mu ticket has made their lives better, safer and more prosperous, so no "religious propaganda" can work again. It doesn't even matter that there is a Christian genocide now under the Mu-Mu ticket. All that matters is that Nigerians, including Christians in Plateau and Benue States, are now very happy with a Muslim Muslim disgusting presidency, so they will happily vote for the wonderful Mu-Mu combination to continue.

Oya clap for yourself. Most intelligent man in Nigeria - in reverse.

Some of you need to just disappear into the milky way, never to surface again.

Peter Obi doesn't need to be afraid of the IMF/World Bank, Nigeria's creditors, and the glib mouthed economists.

He should have to courage to announce that the current fuel price burden being borne by Nigerians is unacceptable. And that if elected, he will work out a subsidy arrangement with Dangote Refinery to drastically reduce and stabilize the price of fuel.

No matter how difficult it sounds, this can be done.

Kalulu44:
In as much I don't send Elliot, but man is gradually about to spill a hot beans that concerns Gbaja and Sanwo Olu.
Those two 100% knows and have a hand in Obasa's impeachment

There is no 'secret' that he knows that Tinubu doesn't know already, even before him.

All these ingrates that want to ride on Peter Obi's popularity and later disgustingly defect to the APC.

You can already tell by the way he is over hyping himself, with humility to mention Peter Obi in the useless post. If you have grassroots whatever, then why didn't you go to another party to test your popularity? Why must it be NDC?

Fubara is just unlucky to be up against an adversary that has full presidential and judicial backing, such that is unprecedented.

Anybody else in Fubara's position would also be in exactly that position. Let's not give Wike too much credit. Monkey sabi jump na because e dey near trees.

Freshtruth:
so who go come get the massive votes na tinubu wey dey make Nigerians life unbearable ABI na Atiku wey he turn never reach.

Obi might not win but I expect 10m votes this time around and be rig to 6m again above ur 3m prediction

If with the disastrous economy, cost of living and purchasing power crisis, viral poverty, and unprecedented insecurity, Nigerians still prefer to sit idly and allow that monkey rig the election again, then so be it. Dem no dey tell person.

Osama Bin Laden and Michael Jackson should be there near the bottom.

Besides, there's a disproportionate number of American presidents in the list, which is indicative of bias. We are talking about 'in all human history' , not 'in modern history'. America is a relatively young country in the scheme of larger history.

This man is addicted to contesting elections, not actually winning.

I said it before that he never wanted to pick Obi as his running mate in 2023, because he underrated him. He was more shortsightedly interested in a running mate who would bring out lots of money (like Okowa) without thinking about actual electoral value and votes.

Whoever his advisers are, if he has any, do not wish him well.
