gracefoundmme: and so what? Just nonsense and ingredients, I wonder what you're trying to portray here... how about Nigeria our dear country! at least in Germany they'll still boast of basic amenities, basic necessities of life which even the middle-class in Nigeria can't...etc.
psalmsjob: If you cannot afford to buy a house how can you afford to even campaign to be governor? Make una dey think small small ooo. No be requured creteria to show your personal achievements in life to show that you have capacity to govern a state? Abi una think say na everybody mumu dey support former governor wey no achieve anything to show for 8 years in office but want to be president becausehe igbo and catholic Christian?
Thank you my brother. See their messiah below and tell me who is the landlord and who is the heediat!
Goo0dHardDick: Before you attack, understand this, I believe the Igbos are more trusted than the tribe currently in the Villa. All the Igbos want is a better country for everyone. We have tried Yoruba for 12 years, South-South for 5 years, and Fulani for 11 years. Let us try an Igbo man because they are Nigerians too and contribute so much to the economy.
GASLIGHTING won’t work this coming election. We are going to strip the Agulu pretender naked in the market. We are compiling his cases of high corruption in Anambra that you people are hiding.
You see what happens when you let some select people choose and install people on your behalf? They WILL NEVER represent you. That's what this Desmond Elliot story shows us once again. The Barakat lady replacing him too will only work as a stooge.
This is what happens when parents do everything for their children, they never learn how to withstand the world challenges or fight for things, their parents did everything for them. They don't know their worth.
After Bucknor and Pedro showed Tinubu shege, they started going for female deputy governors. The ones who will not fight them. This is not to put the women down but we all know how it went with those deputies who were female. That's what is going on in Lagos. You will never get your true representative because these people did not fight for the seats. Even if they tried to fight, the party they came in through only annointed them for guaranteed victory at the polls. Until you have someone who did all the work, earned it in the primary and elections, you will only have representatives of babasopecracy consensus. Fake democracy.
"There is nothing democratic in what is referred to as consensus"
Let me correct the writer who said Former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is today a member of the influential Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body in Lagos APC, largely because he accepted defeat gracefully after losing the governorship primary to the party’s preferred candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Rather than defect or head to court, Ambode congratulated Sanwo-Olu and pledged loyalty to the party. Desmond Elliot should take a cue from that example.
Big fat lie. Ambode that called Sanwoolu mad and did worse than Elliot. Abeg talk another thing. They have arranged themsleves. Even Pedro is now an Ambassador but you see that WOMAN, Bucknor. She no gree for Bola. Again, know your worth and what you are fighting for.
Ambode gave a live broadcast after the defeat but don't forget that he didn't attend the handover ceremony, instead, he handed one day before May 29 at a private event. Also Ambode lost through the primaries, at least they allowed that to happen. Did you hear what Desmond said? "Even if I will lose, let me lose gallantly". He complained about intimidation of delegates so there is a difference in losing through indirect babasopecracy and direct vote. At least they pretended to vote for Ambode's own. The truth is that some people are at the background rigging the system. They don't want true votes. If it was consensus of the delegates, it is different but here there is compulsion, intimidation and threats to select one candidate. What a shame.
Did anyone of you observe the ineptitude of the media report? These are the same people who misquote government officials, figures and corruption allegations.
The car was clearly a Peugeot 406!!! Not a 504.
These kind of errors in news reporting are totally unacceptable.
You can imagine how terrorised and traumatised the entire Nigerian populace is
And what will Atiku and GIRINGORY do differently? I heard one obedient say his candidate will carry gun enter bush to pursue the criminals because he is humble 🤣🤣😅😂
Goddyrichie: what’s government what’s d duty of government?and I’m very sure you’re a graduate na nw I believe say no b everybody wey dey educated get sense or maybe u say that cuz of tribalism or u have ur own share of the d cake
Did you read and digested what I wrote?
Go back and read it, ignore your emotions and allow yourself to intellectually absorb what I wrote.
Nigeria is one of the poorest countries on earth (based on economic indicators). We can turn it around but it will take 2 generations. Our governors, legislators, public officials are living FAKE LIVES at our expense. Don’t allow their flashing trinkets to deceive you (anonimi copied).
FatherLord: You people have come again. Didn’t APC promised to diversify the economy. It’s been 12 years of APC and you are still talking trash
Promise or not, the facts are the facts and the numbers I stated represent the reality we are facing.
Please find time to assess the people and our daily choices. You will find that the so called Nigerian people and masses (who thoughtlessly) over born and overpopulate the country with “enormous burden” are also responsible for the state of the country today.
WizardOfNG: Don't mind them. They are extremely ignorant. I have come to accept , over the past 3 years Tinubu has been President, that Nigerians are ignorant and way over-hyped.
Reno Omokri made exactly same point you did when he wrote that Nigeria is not an oil-rich Country but can you get the average Nigerian adult to understand and work with that fact instead of them ignorantly believing we have enough wealth for every Nigerian to be gifted free cars, homes, healthcare, education etc?
Only Nigerian adults are childlike enough, including the likes of Davido, not to be able to work with the cold facts presented below which shows how much trouble we are in as a nation and the sacrifice each of us must be ready to make so we bounce back instead of virtually every Nigerian adult hosting an ignorant sense of entitlement.
We are broke and this is the main reason our problems, including security, can't be addressed faster.
Our Country's main problem are structural and have accumulated over decades because successive Nigerian Presidents and heads of States failed to do what must be done.
Only Tinubu is attempting to do that and the rest of the educated adult world, which apparently excludes Nigeria, are praising him because they understand our path to rehabilitation, given the very severe damage done over decades, cannot come without pain and sacrifice.
Nigerian leader also display the excesses, egotism and lack of sacrificial discipline that typifies the black man.
Most of our people are functional illiterates who 'only think of rice and Eba" (Reno Omokri) hence the reason they don't have the cognitive skills to properly understand how much trouble we are in and this the solutions required.
Leaders like Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso etal compound the problem fooling an ignorant people by making it seem like they are the solution when they know, and as the international community confirms, Tinubu is applying precisely the right solutions to rehabilitate Nigeria. For all a nation so troubled, leaders should be working together regardless of political Party but Nigerian leader are busy worshipping their own personal and selfish interest.
My dear Nigerian brother, thank you so much for this write up. You have also stated the naked truth. I need to keep a dialogue with you as there are so much more we can learn from each other.
I am so relieved I found a nairalander with an abundance of knowledge and critical understanding of our terrible national situation.
Nairaland is full of Nigerians who allow emotions and parochial interests to cloud their judgement like anonimi
Why is Tinubu and his cronies spending our money recklessly if they are not the ones responsible for the extreme poverty, unemployment and hyperinflation that encourages people to be criminals and terrorists
And who is responsible for creating national wealth, national leadership. Just as the father is responsible for lifting the family, just as the governor is responsible for lifting the state, just as the CEO is responsible for the fortunes of the company.
The quality of leadership matters. That we have been dependent on 1.8 million barrels of oil since time immemorial simply shows we have not had qualitative leadership. Agreed that is entirely our fault. We are poor because of our poor quality leadership choices.
We are all leaders. Stop pointing fingers!!! Take some responsibility and contribute your own quota. Many of us Nigerians expect good leadership and good governance, have you ever stopped to ask yourself, are you a good citizen? Do you make good governance possible and easy for the government? Do you contribute to the well being of society, by your conduct and behaviour?
Government and ‘leaders’ are not responsible for everything!
Ofodirinwa: All protests in Nigeria are controlled by Bola Tinubu and is southwestern supporters. Now that he is president, no reason to protest. The career defectors from Soyinka, to all fake 'man of the people' politicians will remain silent. Media will remain silent. Nigeria trusted the Lagos political machine and now everyone is doomed. I don't even know if anyone knows how to protest or speak up without Tinubus engineering anymore.
The people of the SW know something you don’t know, as usual. Follow our lead Emeka.
