HIGHESTPOPORI:
According to urchins

Who are they?

floret23:
Never in the political history of Nigeria has a candidate joined a moribund political party and within a few months, turned it into a national movement for the emancipation of Nigerians. Definitely, Obi's past record is working for him.

Even Tinubu and Atiku with all their perceived structures cannot dare to contest outside APC and PDP respectively. Imagine Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha or this current Abia Governor trying to contest for presidency, it would seem like a child's play as nobody would take them serious except those who are interested in their stolen money. These are characters who can not win their local government in a free and fair election.

Because of tomorrow, the current set of governors are hereby advised to behave themselves, stop embezzling state allocation and emulate H.E Mr Peter Obi. You can't say, you may want to aspire for higher position in the future. As electoral reforms continue to progress, corrupt ex-governors would not be able to run for senate again. Jot it down!

Hiding funds in Panama, following madman's advice, follow your wife to live in Lagos instead of Anambra the best state in Nigeria.
Obi's rise in popularity stems from the ruling party's abysmal economic performance and the religious turn some pastors played/play to support Obi against some islamization phobia.
People needed/were thirsty for a third force so much that they embraced Obi as the option. It has little to nothing to do with his performance, competence or precedence. It's like a thirsty person or hungry person. The next food is sweet to him.

why them always give am chair to sidon

Because he has problem with his knee, allegedly had a knee surgery.

dynicks:
See face of who some persons wants to force on the lives of over 200million people.....

Make urchins try get sense naw....this man is way over 85 years

He can't even kneel or squat!!

Is squatting a criteria for leadership?

derecho:
OBIdients sabi press necks..kai

I love Obi for one thing.He is always learning and is humble to say:
Run from anyone who thinks he knows everything.

Two things are key in leadership: Learning and listening- Peter Obi 2022

Lol, like GEJ the learner trainee president abi? Where is vision and delegation when you put learning as key of leadership? That's how Obi listened to madman the other day.

Under bridge abi where be this one?
Anyway, where's my man Datti? Aisha Yesufu don turn to MC? She wants to copy Dabiri abi, photocopy no easy oh.
They're not many in Bayelsa though, manage anything wey you see from GEJ.

CodeTemplar:
Jesus has always been Lord over all including the demons that make you think you can assume CU studentship for others and rationalize superiority complex for yourself with existence of student union in a campus.

E pain you well, but i don't know the exact point of pain, otherwise i would have immediately said sorry oh.

CodeTemplar:
Do i look like corruption timekeeper?
Or your brain that could remember frivolities of 2012 couldn't remember that of after 2012 whereby Buhari daughter was flying on public fund to snap frivolities personified. That's frivolity within frivolity and your student union infested and donated brain couldn't pick it. Wow...

LoLz, this fellow is quite angry. i have advised you, come to my house and transfer the aggression. i no know say the thing go pain you like this, i would have said sorry.

omonnakoda:
It has always been unaffordable at least in terms of opportunity costs but the removal is a politcal matter that requires skill and dexterity. It is not as simple as the president declaring it . He needs support of the National Assembly and other groups in Nigeria. Jonathan could not muster that support. Let us see whether Tinubu will win election first and then whether he does not chicken out. Even military governments have had to back down so let us see

He will, he's the only one among the candidates that knows how to get what he wants.

Angelfrost:
Good... Everyone knows subsidy has to go, or should have since been removed!

The issue here is that the same set of people who argued against it vehemently in the past have no moral standing today to speak on its removal! That's the simple crux of this thread.

Next time, stick to the objective of a discourse.

Lol. Moral standing kwa, we are talking of financial standing here. So they must live in a bubble or put head inside ground like ostrich? Is their word the unchangeable word of God or something? You that agreed to a salary in 2012, why don't you have the moral standing to stick to that agreement?

CodeTemplar:
May it was your babalawo father that couldn't feed you that created CU and allowed to end up in an institution breeding shrine administrators who consults dead gods to post on a faceless forum.
Address the subsidy issues like someone who truly passed through a school with a functional student union where welfare of the majority are championed.
Or in your derailed cult infiltrated and infested student union, is it perceived background of others you guys discuss?

Now you are very angry brother. i have never read you speak so incoherently. Calm down, life is beautiful, and Jesus is Lord.

Penguin2:
All the things Peter Obi said in his manifesto is what Tinubu is now saying…

From removal of subsidy to abolishing multiple forex market.

Tinubu is a grade one thief.

Really? All we see Obi talk about is lamentations, or saying some rubbish about how he carries his bag or sleeps on one bed or how his son's hair is a talking point in the University. Or of course China and Bangladesh lamba. He totally forgets everything in this his marvelous manifesto that came very late after pressure from every serious quarter.

Tinubu is talk and do, that's one obstacle that might be in his way. His talk and plans are very patriotic. But the West and the powers that be are not very patriotic and may see him as a threat that must not be allowed to get there.

This video confirms my worries, Tinubu is going in unopposed so far.

CodeTemplar:
in the absence of substance, frivolities like usage of "foot soldier" and assumed studentship of the past becomes your main point.
The clear evidence of your liquid brain being unsettled by your heartbeat for APC.

oga i am not this learned, stop confusing me with big grammar. You need to be clear in abusing me oh, because i don't understand all these Shakespeare you are writing. You go speak grammar tire next year. It seems CU didn't have Student Union to allow you exercise these complex skills.

Angelfrost:
How many Nigerians trust this useless government of today?!!

You say Nigerians can't protest today??! EndSars protesters were from what nation?!!

What has APC done to better things since 2015?!!


How do they pick campaigners for APC please?!! No wonder Tinubu is desperate!

Nothing meaningful to sell to Nigerians!

Trust is not in play today, the accounts are. It's simply unaffordable. Anyone you care to vote for has said that they are removing subsidy. Let's cry together next year

tarantino1:
Tell me why you think this year is a better time for subsidy removal than 2012. I want to know if truly you are knowledgeable or if you're parroting the nonsense your Baba blue god stated.

You will not use empty words to evade my question.

Don't take it too hard on yourself dear, i will deliberately not answer you.

CodeTemplar:
The greatest form of frivolity is corruption so stop speaking imbecilic grammar here.
One man is returning N30b to anti corruption agency and you are talking about frivolity, a relative term, like Buhari daughter using publicly funded aircraft to go snap pictures isnt a strong form of frivolity.

Your brain must be in liquid form and I can imagine your heartbeat for APC constantly unsettling it, thus your trashy post.

You must love your English teacher, now was there corruption in 2012 or no?

i'm in my house, come and beat me since you can't give me those grades that were about to transform my life.

Angelfrost:
Improvement in economy: Nil

Security: Nil

Standard of Living: worse

Cost of Living: ridiculous

Corruption: worse




Please, what has changed for the better since APC took over?!!

You mentioned that two things are worse, yet you ironically stated that Absolutely Nothing changed. What lane are you on exactly, BRT?

CodeTemplar:
The devil too is gearing up to rule the world in a single govt arrangement. That's doesn't make your life better even as Tinubu's foot soldier.
The fact that you cannot address my point about corruption is very significant here.

LoLz, you are desperately comparing apples and tomatoes here. The devil is gearing to rule the world, is Obi or whosoever you support not gearing to be president? Are you not even praying for someone with sense to be president?
As a former CU student, you should know better how to use words like "foot soldier".

Give the scores already sir, your assessment is urgently needed for my school admissions. Help a soul.

Angelfrost:
Listen to yourself...

Please, what has changed today??!

Absolutely nothing!!!

Absolutely nothing has changed in Nigeria? Really?

CodeTemplar:
Oluropo Amoda Yekini has spoken.

Is it only subsidy we can remove to save money? If corruption, the root of all leakages making subsidy cannot be handled or tamed considerably, it means corruption has every tight to intercept the saved subsidy money when removed.

The thunder that will potentially fire some people is running on diesel engine.

If you like, call him bingo not just Yekini. That guy is your next president, God sparing our lives. Are you unaware that the subsidy itself is corruption personified?

Babawee:
My simple question is after subsidy removal...how much will we be getting fuel like 400-500 per litre
That will even add more to the high price of goods and services
Let's be considerate for once and leave party diversity out of these
The only thing a common Nigerian benefits from the government
Where will they channel the money to
I believe it's to embezzle it and share it and the inflation persist
Let's think deep
Let's vote wisely
Let's look out for a better Nigeria

Vote wisely for who? All the candidates have said that fuel subsidy is going, it cannot remain.

tarantino1:
The only reason you are in support of this timing is cos Ur "baba blue lemon plus" god says this is the best time and nothing else.

Tell me why 2023 is a better time for removing the subsidy than 2012. I'll wait

It's clear to the blind and even dead that it's now unaffordable.

Franchise21:
Go back to 2012 and 2015... Nigerians will decide at the polls

And we'll all agree with the decision of Nigerians.

Greenback:
Removing the subsidy 2012 when the economy was still manageable and people still had it good would've been far better than now when the economy is so harsh and biting real bad... removing it now would be so disastrous for the common man..
It has to be done and it would've been better if it was removed long ago.

As for you people who see white and turn it into black,it is only God that will have mercy on you.

Nigeria's economy wasn't supposed to be manageable then, 2012, but very good and that was the problem. The people were not confident with the government.
There was so much waste and frivolous spending by the government that they were not trusted to be given more while people pay for it. Nigerians went out en masse, not just Tinubu or APC. A government that was lavishing billions and now gave people New Year gift of pump price increase and subsidy removal. It was a very insensitive timing with no cushion which was very affordable. You must know Farouk Lawan, no?

Franchise21:
Why did he term the same subsidy he's promising to remove if he manages to get the number one seat a scam and even campaigned with it?

Are you referring to Tinubu as the he here or someone else? i don't recall Tinubu calling fuel subsidy a scam in the sense or recall him campaign with or without it.

Greenback:
Hypocrite did you and you jagaban accept this same truth 10 years ago when GEJ wanted to remove same subsidy? Did you all not stage protest? Your hypocrisy stinks

Timing is what determines if you can eat your food or not. If you take it out too soon or too late, it's not the same taste and quality. This is so basic i feel worried having to break it down.
Nigerians came out en masse to protest and show their displeasure when the federal government announced the removal of the fuel subsidy, around the time the contents of the 2012 budget revealed excessive amounts given to frivolities.

You agreeing to one salary 10years ago and disagreeing to same salary this year, is it also hypocrisy?

Franchise21:
I'm not against that. It was BAT and his crew that sponsored same protests in 2012 and called it a scam. Why e come change mouth? They met a bad situation and made it rotten. Affliction shan't rise a second time

You are not against it, but you are against Tinubu for not being against it?

Otunbakayce:
You are spitting trash! Did tinubu and his cohorts sponsor protests against the removal of subsidy when it was the best time to remove it or not?

If you can't answer the above question coherently, then shut up.

How is it the best time to remove it? Let me make my question very simple since you didn't read my longer reply.
