Romance / Re: Help, My 3months Marriage Is In Danger, Should I Confront Her? by imustsaymymindo: 4:59pm On Apr 16, 2023
Why you go give am belle sharp sharp na? angry

It's a long road ahead. I pray you'd be able to fix it. Please think and act logically from now on and stop giving excuses for bad behaviour like "just wants to chop the guy's money".

Correct bad behavior as fast as possible and only reward her seldomly with any form of commitment on instances of extremely good behavior.

Btw, learn from Hakimi.

Yoo guys

There's this girl I've been simping on for a long time.

She is dating one rich guy(bigger simp than I am) and the guy spends lavishly on the girl. But using some knowledge I got on this thread and how I analysed their situation, I got to realise she doesn't love him genuinely it's all about the cash.

Now, that's his own problem. My own be say in the last few months, I used the knowledge I gathered in this thread on new girls I've been meeting and it has been working like magic. In fact na me dey snub women this days.

The only issue is along the line, I got the realised how stupid I was in the past, and how that bitch have been treating me like trash in the past. In fact the bitch dosn't respect me. So I need concrate format on what I should do to regain my long lost reps from her.

I am still obsessed with her, but these time it's about regaining my lost respect and proving that I ain't no mugu anymore.

Any tips on how to go about it?

Move on, bro. She may never see you in your new frame.

I really think there is no hard and fast rule to this.

There are good mothers and good wives, as well as bad mothers and bad wives.

It requires discretion and wisdom.


It is never advisable to make a bad and untrustworthy wife as next of kin.

But settle her adequately in the event of a divorce.

Hmm...yeah.

But it's always better to play safe when unsure which I think is what the guy did.

Romance / Re: Why Do Men Agree To This Nonsense Arrangement? by imustsaymymindo: 5:30pm On Apr 13, 2023
Rokiat:
Because those men are actually smart and understand how a woman’s brain works. The moment a woman start contributing in the house she will now think she’s the leader of the home. Her respect for her husband will start to diminish this is just fact.

That is why a true masculine guy don’t care for a woman’s money what he want is a woman that will bring value to his home because when you as a man become too lazy as to depend on a woman to help you run your household financially one of two things happens


1 She lost total respect for you because now she feel she don’t actually need you. She will start undermining you, talking to you any kind of way thinking you both wear the pants in that relationship. Some men think they can cheat the system and just married and lash on a woman. I laugh grin the moment anything goes wrong the woman will be first to yell out all the things she’s doing, even if she only does 20% this is just how women are. They will subconsciously resent you because this is unnatural. The woman is not designed to be the leader, the provider, they are just not. So if you try to use her for that, guess what, you wouldn’t get the results you want, trust me on this. A man can be successful, provide for his family and not put it in nobody’s face what he’s doing because it is not that serious to him. This is what God designed him to be, but that’s not a woman’s God given role. God is a powerful force guys and you really can’t cheat divine order. And now we think we can rewrite the rules which is why most relationships are failing miserably.


2 She wouldn’t be able to pour into her house, her marriage, her children, and herself as she should because she will be spending more hours at work trying to help you contribute to the household it’s just impossible that she will give 100% to her home as she’s supposed to. This is why women don’t naturally make good leaders because they can’t do it all be a homemaker and then go to work and be a leader. That is why they become emotional in those leadership roles because they are overwhelmed. Don’t argue with me argue with your keypad.


A woman’s achievement and money don’t mean Shi..t to a real masculine man because he don’t need it. That don’t mean Shi..t to them. An uneducated woman who’s broke and never been to college don’t work but can cook, have good nurturing skills, a good mother, fine as hell, good in bed, will always get the better man than a woman who’s hella accomplished and is totally out of touch with her womanly side and roles.


You can’t cheat divine order. This whole switching of roles is the number one issues in relationships today.
That is why the west most of them have the highest divorce rate and hella unhappy in their relationships.

There are dreams and extent you can never get to staying in this country.

You think making a certain sum as salary and being a local champion is all there is to life?

Many great men would live and die as mediocres in naija.

At least, get exposed. Spend some years over there and comeback if you love Naija so much. Be a global influence.

Even the richest of Nigerians travel constantly and garner a lot of influence, and of course their children immigrate fully there most times. They only come here to flex.

Stay in Lagos all your life for instance with your big salary and see if you would even be considered as Governor of Lagos.

In the last election, the candidates were alumnis of MIT, John Kennedy school of government, london business schooĺ, etc.

And some of those guys are not even half as good as quality people that Naija has happened to or have been in Naija all their life.

Family / Re: Frustrated With My Wife by imustsaymymindo: 3:09pm On Apr 11, 2023
There are big disadvantages to monogamy, and I wish many knew before entering a union.

The sunk-cost fallacy of love and commitment increases with monogamy. Monogamy breeds complacency especially since the concept of competition is eliminated.

As a man, you feel you have "bought a wife" and you'd get respect, sex, and all just because.

No bro, you won't.

And for a woman, she is relaxed, especially in a religious setting of a family where divorce is frowned at. And she knows you would gladly stay just because. Either she disrespects you and hoards her love from you or not.

That's where the problem is. A man gladly accepts a woman's complacency but women would not even settle.

The number one cause of divorce these days in my opinion is complacency. You have to understand that you have to be intentional about your seduction game for life.

Taking pride in not smoking, not drinking, not womanizing, or not even laying a hand on her doesn't make you special from other men. If you were all that special, why then is it hard for you to leave a disrespectful and unloving wife? Why do some of those men with such vices have more respectful and loving wives than yours? It shows you have a scarcity mindset. And the more reason why your wife would continue to resent you till it leads to a case of hate. Please, see the movie titled "blue valentine".

Not saying you should become a jerk. But my advice for you is to accept the fact that you are human and male and with your actions, let her be reminded of the fact that as a human, you can do any of those vices just like every other male because when actually pushed to your extreme limit, you would actually do them. Accept your masculinity and strength. Because I am sure that is who she fell in love with. Let her have a reason to compete to be in your life. Be a man of abundance and options.

Your first step would be to have deep conversations with older men on this issue, especially your Dad. Please forget about emotions for now. Get advice from people that would be more logical. If you were in these developed countries, your wife would probably have divorced you by now. After all this pain you type here, she would take your children, your money, and...a whole lot more.

Please forget about emotions for now and get your acts together. Please lift some irons too at the gym.

You earn respect, love, sex, and every other beautiful thing. You don't buy it using a bride price. It's a burden of performance we have to deal with. They lied to you about marriage. Your toil isn't over. You have to always be that guy that she'd be lucky to have sex with, cook for, and serve. Stop being complacent. Chase your dreams, bro, and not build some family. And every other thing would align with your frames and goals including your family and maybe your darling wife that seems like a devil now.

You'd be surprised how adventurous with sex, how respectful your wife would be with another man that got his acts together if you go the divorce route and she finds another.

Bible Redpill Nuggets
1 Peter 3
Contemporary English Version

If you are a wife, you must put your husband first. Even if he opposes our message, you will win him over by what you do. No one else will have to say anything to him, 2 because he will see how you honor God and live a pure life. 3 Don't depend on things like fancy hairdos or gold jewelry or expensive clothes to make you look beautiful. 4 Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special.
5 Long ago those women who worshiped God and put their hope in him made themselves beautiful by putting their husbands first. 6 For example, Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her true children, if you do right and don't let anything frighten you.
7 If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honor, because she isn't as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.

One even said she won't reply you if you enter her DM with "hi" or "hello" grin grin

Simps day o!

E no reach 10 mins, I delete the app back

For women, tinder na bend down select market
For men, na Job interview grin

Lol. I love Tinder. I do a lot of behavioral experiments there. That Tinder you see, a lot of European countries are already a living Tinder. And Nigeria may be degraded to that society in just some years with more western influence.

Except you are an MGTOW, Tinder may prepare you for an intense blue-pill society/reality ahead. You can’t measure unless you play. I think the app is a perfect place to test your positive masculine knowledge and also affirm the trueness of AWALT.

Since you’d be different from the myriad of males on it, you’d get a whole lot of girls to lay. But set boundaries, don’t just lay with anyone, and trust your intuition.

Be safe.

Happy International Women’s day.

Fraternities

It is harder for men to be more masculine these days because of the absence of fraternities. Today, you read a book, you suffer a heartbreak, you surf some stuff on the net just to find information that would have been better learned swiftly familiarizing with fellow men. Many of us won’t have any need to be in such a thread as this if positive fraternities still exist in real life.

Are there even fraternities these days? When you see a group of boys or men gathered these days, what’s their purpose? In schools, it is either the men gathering on how to kill/maim fellow men, superiority, women, or drugs. Or crime, especially fraud, and yahoo. Most gathering revolves around the chase of money. Many of them don’t even have initiatives on what they want to use the money for asides from show-offs. In bars, in the gym, and every other place you’d meet men.

But there is more to power than money. And the older generation knew this. The likes of Wole Soyinka with his wealth of western knowledge and indoctrination still honed his traditional beliefs and his identity. With even a great love for the African religion. And today, he lives in his somewhat modest house at Abeokuta. And of course, he is most powerful than your favorite and richest yahoo boy or even your richest legit tech startup owner who may be richer than him. This is what makes fraternities a successful cause. When men come together with separate unique and beneficial identities that encompass all forms of intelligence, innovation is paramount.

From Wole’s Pyrates roles parodies, you see men who function in various intellectual capacities. There were roles given to musicians, the physically strong, the relational experts, the logical heads, the spiritual and intuitive minds, and a bunch of others. Tell me how men won’t build capacities that’d challenge innovation, especially when complemented with the gifts of other men. it’s a pity we now have these capacity-building responsibilities as various gang roles. And who is to blame? Men, who have other motives that are mostly blue pilled of course. Because it is blue-pilled to die or fight for love, for women, for pseudo superiority that is known to just some few students in a school and some of your other gangs.

And you really can't survive alone in this new age we live in and not lose your masculinity negatively someway. It is important men go out and experience and come back to the arms of fellow men. Those days, men played with men. These days, you watch how much you say to your fellow man. Because he is all about money and you are not entirely safe with him. He thinks with money he can get everything. Young men of today would never be as masculine as the men that were trained and nurtured by the old Nigerian traditional system.

I watch the likes of Omoyele Sowore, Daniel Bwala, and Festus Keyamo speak and even though I know they are on the wrong sides of the coin, I see masculinity, I see men who are convicted and are naturally red pilled based on mentoring and relating with positive men all their lives. I mean these people have passion. I mean these people know their onions. I mean these people are well-rounded. Even though they know they are supporting Devils, they are truly convicted, that it is the best devil. And beyond money, they'd still be powerful.

Finally, this may break your heart, but I want a strong change in this country Nigeria. And even though I had earlier thought that may come in form of Peter Obi, I stand to be corrected, but I believe Obi is a purely blue-pilled ideology and an emotional sell. And since blue-pill rules the world, he may win. I foresee a lot of women and youths voting for him. However, when he wins, I foresee him being like a Buhari who won’t get the ground running in 100 days and a combination of a Jonathan who in his “bid to always please” would be manipulated severely.

Why is the blue-pilled societal narrative of romance sellable and taken as ideal?

Many claim that it is a forced narrative by media and contemporary culture powered by a certain few, and even if that is true, I think there is something that makes it much more sellable.

That is the tradeoff involved in the ideology.

It is important that you understand that every ideology has its tradeoffs.

The idea of romance in the blue-pilled narrative preaches vulnerability, intimacy, and love at the expense of survival, masculinity, and peace. Tradeoffs sound risky but the benefits seem much more fun. And the simp adopts this and all his money, time, and happiness parts away.

The other not-too-common narrative preaches positive masculinity, peace, and survival at the expense of vulnerability, intimacy, and love. Tradeoffs sound like too much to lose and the benefits though seem good, but boring. The only time this could make sense to you is in your most logical state. And the red pill man adopts it, and he is at that moment when you have quite a lot of women in abundance, maybe even sexually involved, and all you see are signs of AWALT and you are looking at her in the face with the void of intimacy in your heart.

Both situations look so pathetic if you ask me. But isn’t that what life is after all? Meaningless. And you define your own meaning to it?

If you still haven’t understood what makes the blue-pilled narrative sell better, take this other analogy for example. Imagine both scenarios in their old age or deathbeds. What would be the regrets of both?

The Simp would probably be in his old age, broke, and on his death bed with nobody, probably his wife and kids have left him, while he regrets his current state.

The other guy in his old age on his deathbed might have lots of people around him with loads of void in his heart, wishing he had loved more, wishing he had tried or experimented more.

Though the second guy seems desirable, the greatest regrets are those that come from not trying at all. It is in fact almost certain that if he had tried, he would end up like the first guy, but that feeling of avoidance and that he never puts it to a test personally hurts more.

What is life really when you don’t try?

It would be a disservice to indoctrinate your son directly into the red pill at an early age because of this. You can lead by example but don’t directly indoctrinate.

Simping is not forced. It is a choice. And there would forever be more Simps because it’s more sellable.

What then could be recommended should be pragmatic, weighing your options and knowing when to use ideas or jump ship like a Nigerian politician. This is in a bid to reduce your regrets at the end so you can speak from both sides of the coin.

A good transition would be an unmarried simp, who then transitioned into a red pill, found a girl, and got married in a red pill mindset.

If you directly indoctrinate your sons with the red pill at an early age, they may switch not because they don’t understand or know the game and its advantages but because of the experience which they want to put to test personally, especially when they are surrounded with blue-pill ideology. Because at the end of the day, experience is the best teacher.

FFT: Dogma is a scarcity mindset. Pragma isn’t. Let Simps be.

WHY DO SOME MEN GET RELIGIOUS AFTER MARRIAGE?

Do you wonder why some men who you would swear can never get close to religion get religious after marriage or in a committed relationship? It's many times a coping mechanism. A front to get the respect that they'd never naturally get.

Positive masculinity that commands respect only exists in God to some women and that is why they fear and respect him. And anything that seems close to God such as Pastors and other religious leaders.

These women can be virgins, but they would see no reason to improve their character or other shortcomings unless it has something to do with God or something close to him. Their Fathers/male influences have failed them. They could not learn, build, and exhibit that positive masculinity and used religion as a coping mechanism. The men that marry these ones or are committed to them also tend to manage their women's shortcomings by also using God as the middleman.

And you'd be surprised how it works but only for the short term. You have been correcting her for a bad character and in some minutes of prayer or with some scolding with a Pastor, she realizes the impact and she is remorseful. You accept her back and you probably even do something good for her for the fake remorse, thereby in some way rewarding bad character. You might not see it that way, but if you turn the tables around, you would realize that if it were you, even if she is going to accept you back, she won't reward you.

So, women like this never really change/improve those shortcomings till it becomes something that is part of them, acceptable to you, normal-that you shouldn't be worried about, indoctrinated as part of feminine nature, and can never be changed while they settle to justify using the fact that they are at least celibate. So you hear things like, it's normal for women to nag, normal for women to manipulate, etc. Don't worry, just manage, there is no woman out there that doesn't. At least she is not cheating. These are scams many fall for.

This approach is not sustainable. How many times in the heat of emotions or even the heat of logic would you remember religion unless that is what you do for a living? Therefore, some of these men knowing that this coping mechanism is ephemeral and that would mean someone with a higher spiritual authority would always win their lover/wife's heart, then look for other means to command respect. Hence, these men become Pastors/Religious leaders themselves as that vets them as a spiritual authority. And that is why there is an increase of men who should never even have come near being Pastors/Religious leaders. In the end, it doesn't lead to a happy life. They'd most times end up as the asshole father if they amass the spiritual authority and would still suffer the pains of their wrong masculine choices.

Why is this important? I know there is a lot of emphasis on vetting a girl who is a virgin before commitment. And in Nigeria, most times you find this kind of girl in a religious setting. However, when you find and vet a virgin, you must remove spirituality asides, and vet her character logically as well. We need to put more emphasis on vetting character. Vet her by pushing her to the wall, and watch how she treats not just you but other people. Characters such as anger, and lies that have never been treated or are now considered as a norm could be as deadly as infidelity.

Though, it is most likely a virgin should have a good character because having kept her virginity, especially in this sort of perverse world we live in may show some positive male presence. However, it is essential that the male presence is human and not the supernatural being she believes in. Else, that being who is infallible would forever be her only reverence. And she would never respect you, unless through that being. God should not be the middleman. God should be the final man. The relationship is between humans but headed by God.

There is a reason why the bible said this in Ephesians 5:23:

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Kipaji:


I failed. Miserably.

I tried monk mode and failed.

The fight against one's lust is a tortuous inner battle. This world bombards us left and right with lust triggers. From the media becoming pornofied to women shamelessly teasing online and offline, everything is being sexualized at an uncontrollable and worrying rate. Unfortunately, men were not raise to control their lust. And society will not help with its anti-men, anti-civilization agendas. So, it is exceptional hard for a man nowadays to maintain focus on what matters. As never seen before, almost all men are porn and/or masturbation addicts. Most do not have the drive and discipline to work consistently towards something meaningful. Men are weak and becoming weaker.

I believe that the last barrier against this degeneration of the man is the fabric and substance of his mind and spirit. The man must forge his mind and nurture his spirit to escape the tornado of degeneracy this world is caught into. But, since the inner is influenced by the outer, and vice versa, to regulate the inner, we must also manipulate the outer. So, this fight is double-dimensional. And it is a very hard one. Nonetheless, the expected rewards are definitely worth the struggle. This is why I engaged in this battle.

I keep failing. And I try my best to re-strategize and stand up stronger. I do not want to give up.

I choose strength over pleasure.




Hmm....Interesting.

I am not sure of your exact reason for going Monk mode, but I believe if your purpose is one that revolves around self-actualization i.e. deep down that is the kind of life you want to live, then you would succeed.

For me, the purpose is everything. I am never a fan of dos and don'ts.

Take, masturbation for example...

Masturbation can ruin your abundance mentality when you masturbate for fun, when it is an addiction, or when you masturbate just because.

Same masturbation can increase your abundance mentality and give you the logic you need in situations when you can lose your frame such as you have got yourself a lay and you are eager, masturbation before meeting your lay could actually set you up in the right frame. Or you are in a relationship with a girl you really love and you are starting to lose your frame, masturbation could help reset you to a temporal state of abundance.

I think when trying to improve masculinity positively, we should learn to use all things as pragmatically as we can. We are not all testosterone, you know. There is still some estrogen and other female hormones in us. And pragmatism involves using them to our advantage. There may be a need to think like a woman, and even act biitchey for the right purpose.

There is no inherent gain of Monk mode. Its gain revolves around your own purpose for venturing just like every other thing. With a purpose that supersedes your personal esteem or bragging rights or trying to bottle up your testosterone, or heartbreak avoidance but one that revolves around self-actualization, I'm sure you'd succeed.

Making money doesn't necessarily makes you fulfilled. Most especially when what you are doing to make money is not necessarily what you have passion for. Making money and feeling fulfilled are not the same thing.
Many immigrants forgo being fulfilled for making money because of the environment they find themselves

I actually think it is the other way round: Many immigrants that may have been successful in Nigeria prior forgo the money they have made in Nigeria for a better environment that can help them and their generations in their original fulfillment.

Like I said: try being a magician, a hunter, a zoologist, or even a cleaner in Nigeria and see whether Sapa nor go wire the person. However, some people are actually passionate about such jobs and find them fulfilling and Japa provides that enablement. The same goes for other popular jobs like IT, Law, etc. On a funny note, even the criminals that Japa made much more money than their Naija counterparts e.g. hushpuppy, etc. Someone whose peak of his crime career would probably be disturbing the streets of oworo with his Range and carrying Olosho if he hadn't japa.

I am with you on this statement though:

This are the people we are condenming not struggling young Nigerian who sees opportunity to try his destiny elsewhere,those are not the people we are talking about. You can't convince me here to Japa, looking for what?

Good question, bro.

But one of my explanations for that would be that, unlike Nigeria, [b]legit [/b]Japa provides a much more global ascension and fair playing ground.

First, my premise is based on the fact that maybe most successful Lawyers weren't meant to be Lawyers in the first place but chose the profession as it was hot cake back then so as not to be unsuccessful in Nigeria, the same way people are choosing tech now because of USD earning or petroleum those periods to eat out of the national cake/resource. And that's why so many zoologists are Lawyers today in Nigeria, so many magicians are fake herbalists/pastors/imams, so many weapon-skilled men are doctors, and so many doctors are serial killers. Why? Everybody wants to make money. However, Japa allows you to be a magician, a hunter, a zoologist, or even a cleaner as the OP said, and still be fulfilled and successful. And you may never know this truth most times until you Japa even if you were successful over here in a popular profession. Who knew Samklef would excel better as a blogger than a music producer? Or does Pepenazi excels as a Pastor than as a Musician? And I am sure they feel fulfilled doing this together with making money grin.

Imagine the wealthiest Lawyer in Nigeria, who never really practiced law in itself. Same with many Nigerian Professions- the richest Doctor, the richest Teacher, etc. That shows you something(Nothing is given to you here by merit until you use the guns, you Gerrit?). That also shows you how much you have to get dirty, be involved in dirty politics, and do many underground shady things to get to the peak of success at the end of the day, I ask: "is that success really?" See Festus Keyamo now for instance... If Festus had Japa as a successful activist, he probably may have saved thousands of lives through activism and ascended in so many ways he can never imagine. Now he has been reduced to...

And the irony is if things go wrong for the Agbaje guy now, and God forbid(it only takes one nonsense policy/health/village people), he loses all his money and has to start again... Japa offers him more chances of recuperating faster than Nigeria. In fact, Nigeria makes things worse. Ask the Ibrus and others who got Lamido Sanusi's rod.

But over there, you hear of billionaires losing it all and recuperating as fast as possible. And they obviously don't lose it all just because of a policy or a Government change...In fact, they lose it all and still live largely(maybe on credit grin). Do you know how many artists in Nigeria got popular but are now irrelevant and broke? I kid you not, it's not easy for that to happen there with royalties and other benefits with the kind of popularity some of them attained.

Good useless questions .

Is it not the same Nigeria that after the Government paid ransom for girls in Bandit's captivity had to let them wait for hours on a political show before they were freed. And right after they waited, there was fracas due to administration and handing over of the girls and the Army shot a boy who later died later on? A boy whose sister was just brought out of captivity.

If they ask the Army if there were any casualty, they'd say none but thank God for a documentary. If there can be casualty due to crowd control, how much more a heated protest that had crippled all activities? It's obvious people got killed. Ordinary people who would always leave it to God and who these stupid useless questions won't bring back to life or help their families. Many I am sure may not even be protesters and are not cared about. They die everyday anyway due to several harsh conditions and no one cares. So what is the fuse about this? When last did a gala seller die on the road and you asked for his pictures or parents? All shades of gaba gubu gabaroific nonsense.

Peter Obi focuses too much on statistics.
His campaign team should advise him.
Not everything has to do with figures.
There should be practical ways and solutions

That's true. But I think it is a strategy. It is not yet campaign and debate seasons when you need the solutions the most. Saying your solutions too quickly can be remodelled and stolen. So pending that time, the real problems are being identified with data.

Learn about residual income.
Are you aware that Late Sunny Okusun, late Oliver de Coque, Late Sir Victor Uwaifo/ late Victor Olaiya. Ebenezer Obey, Late Stephen Osadebe, Elvis Presely, Michael Ajakasim etc etc are earning from their music, though dead. So shall a flash in the pan, as you assumed of Portable will be earning even at death. Remember he got incorporated.

Sorry, but Ebenezer Obey isn't dead if that is what you mean.

I NEVER told you I was voting for Obi, I specifically said he is the worst and most dangerous option if your goal is development.

I have stated my reasons why I will be voting Tinubu. I am not here to convince anybody, I am not a campaign spokesman, I am not here to waste my time chest beating or making predictions on a landscape that is dynamic. I am also intelligent enough to know nobody is changing their minds based on interactions on Nairaland. It is your democratic right to vote as you wish for whatever reason.

The only thing I will say is APC lost Osun they didn’t bring the house down. Let the losers not bring the house down if they lose in 2023.

Sure. It's your democratic right to vote whosoever you please. We hope the best person wins.

All of them have K-leg so my choice is simply who’s K-leg is least K and who can manage Nigeria in what will be a very trying period post 2023.

I’m voting for Tinubu. He has the experience and track record and has demonstrated a capacity to identify the issues, identify talent, put round pegs in round holes, a capacity to raise revenue which we will need, a capacity for innovation and thinking outside the box. He is not a tribalist or a religious bigot. Nigeria needs someone who can hit the ground running, Only Atiku and Tinubu have that quality. My major problem with Atiku is PDP and the type of characters in PDP.

Peter Obi IMHO is simply a con man taking advantage of Ibo sentiment and youth frustration, neither of which is rooted in rational thinking. His track record is mediocre at best, he has no meaningful or signature achievement as a 2 term governor during an economic boom!! If Nigeria weren’t in such dire circumstances I might have been tempted to vote for Obi/Datti just for change sake, just to send a message to the political class but Nigeria cannot afford amateurs and the inexperienced at this point . You don’t solve a problem by creating a bigger one….you only have to look at 8 yrs of Buhari, Nigeria cannot afford another president who will spend 4 yrs just figuring out how things work and what to do. IMHO Obi is the most dangerous option of the 3 for the future of Nigeria. A corrupt man who knows what he is doing and can grow the economy is 10x better than a so called clean man who hasn’t got a plan, a clue or the experience or the support in parliament to hit the ground running. Nigeria needs someone with a plan who can hit the ground running. I do not advocate corruption and embezzlement but I am a realist. A man who in 8 years increases IGR by 300% and steals 10% is better than a man who steals nothing but cannot raise IGR.
Whereas the former has created more money for public projects, the latter has done nothing.

At this point in time a thief who can build a road or send my child to school is better than a clean man who cannot improve my lot because he hasn’t got the ideas to raise revenue. Nigeria is maxed out debt wise, if you cannot raise revenue you will have no money to execute your promises.





Well, I'd like to agree that we need someone that can hit the ground running asap in this current situation. However, none of the candidates has been in the Federal space for a while. Which federal matters has Tinubu been? He is only famous in the past years due to this current campaign, EndSars, Lagos, and Ambode's politicking. I see all of them finding it hard to hit the ground running when they eventually win. So, voting for a minority political party just like you wanted to do for Obi is a good one at the moment. A sort of change we can't afford now is a Muslim-Muslim ticket change in Nigeria's peculiar and dangerous time. If religion and ethnicity didn't matter and competent matters, why didn't Tinubu choose Osibanjo or a Southerner as the Vice President? That's too much of a change than a change in a political party. Not like many are devoted to the party anyway. Watch how many would defect to the Labor party if Obi wins.

Whatever happened to Reno? He has seriously deviated in the past years. The likes of Reuben Abati are still on course and sound.
