PresidObi: My brother, that you support a government with people of low intelligence and capacity doesn't men you will support for Nigeria to suffer because your chosen leaders cannot see beyond their short noses. Your government should shape up or get out, Nigeria is not an IDP camp.
Bubu4Sea: NNPC gave this man money. Now it's Dangotes refinery.
I beg the sooner they restructure this country the better.
Is that the lie your parents told you. Victim mentality all the time. Very irritating. A smart business man invested the equivalent of Nigerians foreign reserve on a refinery and here you are talking thrash. Can Nigeria afford to build a refinery of that size? The Steel mill is another opportunity for investment, if Dangote decides to chase that in the future, you will all come out crying again. Go and get busy and do something about your life and the life of your generation
ambale: You lack understanding of how businesses are run, if not you wouldn't say this
Do you know the cost of maintaining a business in Nigeria now, is like triple your income, transport cost, general maintenance, and other expenses we've not even talked about the profit of the business ooo
And you want them to keep things down
I'm still surprised that a nation would allow its government to keep them in poverty and still cheer that same government
We need enablement from the government
You can't expect me to use my business do charity for you now
I am a farmer in the north and I can tell you for a fact that we are making mad unrealistic and unfair profit from our farm produce. I farm maize, guinea corn, beans and others. Yes there is insecurity but it is over emphasized. I also don't blame farmers because we are getting a lot of demand from neighboring African countries at relatively greater prices when compared to Nigeria.
What sensible Nigerians are asking these people forcing everyone to accept a stolen mandate is this:
Why are they all focused on Peter Obi they said came a distant third? Leaving Atiku they claimed came second on a more popular party PDP?
Why are these old fools not forcing or begging Atiku to accept the election result?
Can anybody tell me who came 3rd in 2019 Presidential election?
Can we also know who came 3rd in 2015, 2011, etc Presidential elections?
Why is the man they claimed came 3rd more important to criticize, condemn, attack and denigrate more than the man that is currently the failing President?
I know their guilty conscience can't let them rest, but no wahala, I just pray for good health and long life to witness the end of this charade by some section of Nigeria
Not like Obi is anything special. It's just the noise from him everyday like he truly won the election. Having observed him for some time, I think he is shallow in thinking and over hyped. The guy daft somehow
LandMann: You have been conditioned like in Pavlov's dog and bell experiment to believe that more taxes is what the government needs to solve Nigeria's problem.
But what you don't know is that tax is an easy way for government to be extremely lazy and productive.
Also, tax discourages productivity.
There are countries doing well without taxing their citizens
Stop giving the corrupt and useless government in Nigeria ammunition to kill the people
You would think this one knows what he is saying. It's just a pity I am addicted to Nairaland, the quality of responses you get on this site can be very worrisome
Wahabfuture: It's all about politic to please the North for support, i don't blame him and it's never going to stop until Nigeria seize to exist, this are one of the reasons Nigeria is never going to progress
Hypocrites, reviewing all the comments since and I see how all of you guys are avoiding castigating Fubara. Smh
youngestgrad: Just Stop with the bragging, we are talking of percentages here, how many Nigerians graduates with suitable qualifications are earning a quarter of that amount in a month. You just want the whole Nairaland to know u earn high in your privileged private sector job. Congrats
If you earn poorly, then sorry. The reality is that many people earn well in this country
They now have to break yam it into pieces for it to be affordable to them.
This is what the likes of Toyin Abraham is using to catch cruise? Saying it’s her choice? Instead of apologizing to Nigerians who she misled to vote for this unbelievably reckless government, she’s there threatening people.
Do you know what it means for people to be so poor to the extent of not being able to afford one tuber of yam?
Nigerians are literally dying but to some people, they want to stick to their “choice” at the expense of the nation.
Just admit that you’re wrong with your choice. Apologies and call out these heartless people you voted for.
Its very annoying how Obidients just want to force everyone to see things from their perspectives and support the same candidate. Tinubu is our choice even in the North, deal with it
Believeintruth: How was it needless or you just detest him that is why. If you had an account with Heritage will be displaying this kind of foolishness here? Oga try and have sense
Dont even know where to start responding to you. Normally the process for a distressed bank or a bank enveloped in fraud like situation is for NDIC to take over and begin liquidation process. The liquidation process entails settling customers, investors and creditors and any other relevant stakeholder. The news already reported the take over by NDIC, why did Obi raise another alarm as if due process was not followed. The implication of that unnecessary noise is that customers of other banks may feel that other banks have similar issues and when the financial institution is exposed to such confidence risk, it has very devastating impact on the economy. Obi was using reverse psychology to paint a dangerous narrative which is very unpatriotic and selfish of him.
Timmi: Obi, you are not saying anything new other than to just bark. NDIC normally handles payment to the depositors and also handles the payment in an orderly and immediately.
I really hate Obi more than the devil or maybe he is the devil. When a knowledgeable man talk trash just to gain political relevance. Maybe he is not as smart as I thought sha. This statement was needless.

It makes no sense. We can have strike actions after the Eid celebrations
Righteousness2: Dont bother yourself! That was from the progressive left in ISRAEL just like the democrats in Nomerica. Rebellious Sons and daughters of belai have always being in ISRAEL even in Bible days.
These ones are Powered by Biden and his presidency
Biden is doing Everything possible to take Netanyahu out by all means so he can create a fake peace deal with the TERRORISTS all for his personal purpose of his election in November. He sees Netanyahu as his greatest obstacle.
Biden has shown that he is prepared to trade ISRAEL for his personal ambition.
Unfortunately! It is not Working!! The MAJORITY in ISRAEL are standing with Netanyahu.
The Latest ISRAELI Poll Shows Netanyahu is Far above the rest as the Choice of ISRAEL.
Dont Deceive yourself. The Support for Netanyahu is Massive. He is not going anywhere!
He is going to lead the Apple of GOD'S to crush the Terrorists and into the times of Jacob's troubles.
ruggedtimi: that has been the goal of islam, especially modern day muslims in the middle east. They want the whole of Jerusalem to themselves. To them the jews dont exist. If is only christians we have lost jerusalem long time ago. The jews are the once keeping the city,else christian will probably have no pilgrimage home. You guys have no idea what the jews have suffered in the hands of the arabs/palestine because of jerusalem. Ottoman Empire which was predominatly an islam empire conqured jerusalem for than decades making the jews to become minorities in their homeland.
Jews are a majority population in the entire Israel, even in Jerusalem. You need to see the way the Jews and their children were all over the place in the holy land. There is this event that I witnessed while I was there, the Jews brought their kids that just turned 16 or 18 for a particular celebration. I kind of like their culture and they seem very religious. I actually work with them till date and believe me, I don't ever want to leave their team. I love my boss like die.
Righteousness2: You Denounce ISRAEL over a Fake News. TERRORISTS who cannot tell the number of their terrorists who have killed are the ones throwung number of Casulties and you swallow it.
First of all, over 20 of the so called 45 rose back to life in the usual palliwood magic.
Secondly, the death of the 21 persons has been investigated to be caused by Explosive Weapons of Hamas that were hidden inside the Humanitarian area.
IDF struck and wasted 2 Hamas Senior major terrorists OUTSIDE the Humanitarian area.
here is what is known about the incident in Rafah:
1. In the incident two senior Hamas terrorists were killed.
2. The affected residents were outside the protected area defined by the IDF, despite repeated requests from them to evacuate the area.
3. The IDF used small and accurate bombs (GBU 39 SDB), as confirmed in the CNN report.
4. The bombs hit a great distance from the refugee compound.
5. Hamas hid a large amount of ammunition in the refugee compound.
6.This ammunition caused most of the damage and the fire that broke out, after being hit by shrapnel.
Don't be entirely partial. Even BB admitted to the bombing and confessed it was a mistake. We have brain and we should use it. If you are supporting Israel because you are Christian, then you are so wrong because these guys relate and identify more with Muslims than Christians. Their language is very close to Arabic and they have more tourists locations for Muslims than Christians. I have been to Israel and spent some days so I have my facts. I have also been to Jerusalem.
Queengee: Everything here is worth 2k Bread 800 Milk 600 Beans 300 Milo 300 Sugar 50
Believe me tinubu and APC has finished this country, eating healthy meal this days your account balance will feel it
How can you finish 800 naira bread and did you also finish 600 naira milk. Does not make sense to me. The economy is bad but the meal is too much for 1 person to consume
In 1986, when African writers decided to boycott the Nobel Prize for the apparent discrimination from the Royal Academy (up until then, no African was considered good enough for the prize), Soyinka showed up as a betrayer of the African collective cause and got the award
.....Soyinka might have a Nobel Prize, but that is not surely a comment on his social value as a writer. Even Abdulrazak Gurnah who was awarded the prize in 2021 said he thought it was a joke. Nobody knew him and he knew he did not deserve it.
In contrast, Ngugi wa Thiong'O has consistently been ignored by the Royal Academy, even though everyone in the literary field knows he is supposed to have long won it on merit. To put things in perspective, he taught Gurnah way back, and has taught many other greats
Ngugi's sin is that he would never bend to the Western ideologies, and he has canvassed on different occasions for African writers and indeed, writers from the Orient, to develop literature in their languages, instead of enriching metropolitan languages.
The West hates people like Ngugi, and can never reward them with their treasured literary prizes like the Nobel. To be an African writer deserving of the award, you have to have no hurtful opinion about the West. It is basically politics by the institutions of World Lit. Achebe cut the perfect figure for the prize, and it was not surprising that he got it in 1986. Canonised writers like Achebe who took on Greene and Conrad could not have been rewarded for questioning the jaundiced representation of Africans in Western literature 2 https://twitter.com/onyeka_real/status/1644823054587944961?t=C8B9sK8aOooO7TUj0FTgQw&s=19[/quote]Bunch of demented Nigerians. Always fighting themselves instead of working together to achieve meaningful results. Your fellow African countries that are supposed to be less developed are making giant strides by working and bonding together. Nigerians and truly foolish people
franchasofficia: Please Dr Adesina, don't fall my hand like that other old Prof that I once held in high esteem, you excellent Yoruba men of impeccable character must never allow the druggie to destroy your wonderful images in the name of helping a fellow Omoluabi, please sir tread with utmost caution
How can a citizen be sad in the light of good news for his/her country. It only shows how low our cerebral is in the region.
The day i read Peter Obi's comments on the reason for shutting down Microsoft Business in Nigeria was the day i realized he is very fake and knows next to nothing about most of the things he responds to
Prigidypogodo: lol that deputy governor come current governor is really playing dirty with his otumokpo. Nigeria politics if your head no strong no put body or dem go just kpai you trowey
ChristCee: Edit; I know this happened in Niger, you all should understand sarcasm and the fact that we should now use every ironical situation to let the international community know about human rights violations and civilian abuse in southern Nigeria.
E don dey change mouth. Enemies of Nigeria . And for haters...I am Yoruba and will always support Mr. President and the development of Nigeria as a Nation... so don't politicize it. . Even if Ghanaian military are ambushed then Nigeria as ECOWAS leaders should go set up military bases there....since they now take over functions of every one including the police and the civil defence. Not to even mention that Nigerian forces are active in all ECOWAS borders with Nigeria. Smh The military won't flex muscle here cuz' it's the north. They only remember they can shoot when there killed in the south or assaulted by civilians. Shame on all corrupt military leaders in Nigeria. Lazy weaklings only good with assaulting helpless civilians. . Randomly pic 100 soldiers from Nigeria and bring them to the creeks in Lagos, Benin, Warri, etc and make them go one on one in boxing with boys in the ring. The soldiers will lose every time. . Their poor training shows in their judgements and inability to deal with terrorists. . They are fast turning Nigeria into an animal farm and I hope they won't end up waking the sleeping giants in Nigerians. . As powerful as the Egyptian Military is, when the Egyptians decided they've had enough the military was totally helpless...and the population of Egypt is nothing compared to that of Nigerians. . People are kidnapping and killing Nigerians in the north but these organized criminals in uniforms are dancing python and assaulting people in the south. No transparency...even the governor was saying 'some of those things cannot be revealed publicly' if soldiers were killed and civilians are now being assaulted why can't the whole processes be totally open and transparent? . . Nigerian soldiers can whip and beat 80 years olds, pastors, imams on their asses and even frog jump them. It's what we have all seen before. No respect for Nigerians... And in Russia with all the trainings and rogedness of their soldiers they treat civilians and foreigners like me with care and admiration. Imagine a 7ft muscular bald tough-looking Russian soldier in uniform telling a black 5'9 man like me "Sir, did you also arrive on the same flight UTair With me?" -Yes. "Then you are standing at the wrong place. Our baggages will come from that second roller" (point of view. He noticed as a foreigner I had problem reading the instructions in Russian and thus stood at the wrong place for my baggage) . I will be honest. No one has ever respected me that much in Nigeria. And I can bet that No Nigerian soldier nor police could be this gentle even with their own citizens. . I have always maintained that the rot in the military and the police force is the biggest problem of Nigeria from assault on junior officers and ridiculing of civilians, flouting of court orders and torture, bribery, extortion, manipulation of court proceedings, intimidation and implicating people you need to step out of Nigeria once to realize the level of backwardness we have in so many sectors. . Nigeria has all the military apparatus to defeat Boko-Haram we just need to change our orientations about a lot of things and the most important one is interaction with civilians, synergy amongst military forces, respect for culture and cultural leaders. . Again for those quoting me, you forgot Nigeria was almost going to be involved in a military action against Niger then we backed out. But now we are involved in a military action against our own brothers from the south.
Killers and murderers should be made to face the book but transparency matters otherwise you can't tell me civilians are not being killed unjustly. . God bless Nigeria and God bless the president to make the right decisions in the face of Northern and military pressures.
