Damn seems like I missed a lot while I was being slaughtered by the usual fools.

Anyways as to your point, where have I ever said "igbos developed Lagos"? I mean some certainly did, in conjoining with several others but the federal government, pre and post colonial were certainly the biggest developers of Lagos.

[color=royalblue]I don't know what you intend to gain by posting some of these tweets.

Lagos is not No man's land
Lagos presented us with opportunities. And that's why we are here.

Opportunities are the catalysts for migration. I don't know any Igbo that woke up, took his hard earned money and travelled to Lagos just to build houses and contribute to their GDP. He definitely found and opportunity here, exploited to his advantage, and did that.

You say you're not a tribalist, but at every single opportunity, you throw jabs at other tribes.

nihilistjnr:
Someone that has already given you his exact playbook only a few days ago?

[color=royalblue]I know he's obsessed with Obi, but this talk about Igbo's developing Lagos shows a high level of ignorance.

His consistency with it is why I'm starting to become surprised. [/color]

seankafor:
he will soon gas out and bottom out..

Them fade

[color=royalblue]It's not even about him gassing out.

It's about it making sense. It doesn't even make sense [/color]

afrodoc2:
They are BECOMING something else?

[color=royalblue]These are comments that I expect an uneducated, ignorant person to make.

One cannot be educated, and still throw these kind of comments.

I used to think maybe he does that because of his brawls with others, but it's starting not to make any sense again[/color]

[color=royalblue]Donjazet

Your posts are becoming something else! Walahi.

raumdeuter:
I dont agree with this. I believe in full privatisation and capitalism. The UK healthcare system. I have never lived there but I hear the time it takes to see a secialist can go into months

Human being are human and will be corrupt whether they are Nigerians Americans or Russians if the system allows them
Govt services can only work optimally if everyone there is an angel. If you bring Americans to Nigeria within 6months they will start collecting bribes,

Why do you think Joe Bidens son in this same America is floating a consulting company and collecting money from Ukraine for many years because he is connected to the big boss,
Why do you think Dick Cheneys Halliburton got most of the Iraq contracts.
Why do you think lobbying is one of the most productive jobs in Washington DC

Ole ni everybody na environment package them

[color=royalblue]But Larride has a point about the poor.

How does this suggestion take care of that?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Doing well compared to Nigeria but not doing well compared to private sector in the US

Ask any American who has had to call the IRS, visit Drivers license office or visit Social Security office and tell their experience. Its always vastly different from the private sector

[color=royalblue]But would we really say "Government" in general, or the FG?

Because for example, Lagos state runs some sectors perfectly well. That's Government too. I wouldn't know if corruption is rampant, but the services are very okay...Example was when I visited LASUTH. Transport is another example too

So why is the case different with the FG?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Nothing managed by govt will ever be efficient. Even in western countries

[color=royalblue]In the US, are there sectors that are run solely by the government and are doing well?

[/color]

Oga santus sancta, how e dey go?

Sleekfingers:
I am telling you. Some people are just wicked. Do you know that, over 80-90% of beers, they sell in bars in Iponri are fake?

[color=royalblue]Our regulatory agencies are just useless and weak.

It's not like they don't know. There is enough data to know where fake products come from.

But you see corruption?

Infact, nothing will change if Tinubu, Atiku and Obi rule together as long as there's no way to checkmate corruption[/color]

[color=royalblue]Coca-Cola and Malt
Seasoning cubes
Toothpaste

People dey nack am well well. From Lagos Island to Balogun (Trade fair), fake yakpa

If you want to be assured you drank original coke or malt, buy the one in cans. It is expensive to adulterated can products

But you see anything in glass, pet or nylons? Wicked Nigerians are cashing out on a daily[/color]

GloriousGbola:


no one has monopoly of screenshoting quotes

[color=royalblue]I don't even know how they do it

Often, I wipe out all my screnshots

But on these streets, raumdeuter can bring a screnshot of 2010 out

No need for quotes again. Screenshots are evergreen[/color]

GloriousGbola:
the major marketers bore the brunt of it. they took it back and blended it.

when you have a batch of fuel with kleg [too much of substance X /litre] you simply mix it with a much larger batch of fuel that is alright, until the volume of substance X per litre is acceptable.

if your fuel has 7% methanol - mix it with the an appropriate volume of 2% methanol fuel and it becomes 2% methanol

i am tired so the short answer - take 200,000 litres of that fuel - mix it with 10,00,000 litres of ok fuel - and it is all ok

that is what was done. no answer on whether NNPC repaid all the marketers who had to pump out the fuel from their stations, deliver to their depots and blend.

sai buhari and 0 consequences

until NNPC is broken up and sold to private owners, this nonsense will continue

everyone will just manage because it is govt

[color=royalblue]Anything the FG is managing should just be privatised. Corruption won't make us manage anything.

If we fit privatise Police sef, e go better [/color]

larride:
Just like what happened with the adulterated fuel. No one was punished and it can happen again because these guys will see themselves as untouchable.

Same way IGP will give orders to police formation across the country and you will see ordinary constable and sergeant boldly going against the orders.

[color=royalblue]We don't even know how that fuel was phased out.

Was it even resold to us?[/color]

[color=royalblue]Kai![/color]

blaise26abj:
Do all Nigerians like Messi ? No ! Are there Nigerian footballers with National appeal ? Yes ! The target market of Pepsi should be Nigerians . Not Messi fans . So it will be good if the money given to Messi goes to that Nigerian player.
I understand what you are trying to say though . But do you realize that Pepsi has enough money to pay whatever the added cost of using Messi to the detriment of local models ? Just by using a Nigerian model and content creator , resources will flow into the industry and help boost the sector while the Ad budget of Pepsi won’t be that high .

[color=royalblue]Then exorbitantly charge them and move on.

If Pepsi can afford it, another person won't
obviously.

Because we want to promote local content, doesn't mean we should outrightly ban foreign ones.

[/color]

blaise26abj:
I disagree . Let them use local content . The fact that most adverts are made abroad isn’t a good one for the country . Let these companies pay local models and content creators so that the money will flow within . Do you know the billions in dollars a lot of these companies use in ads ? If just 60 percent of that money goes to Nigerians , it will be good for our economy .
Nigerian youths should see this as an opportunity to start Ad agencies and build great companies . No be every time criticism.

[color=royalblue]A Pepsi advert with Messi will sell more than one with Burna Boy

Instead of banning Messi's own, make it more expensive. Its either they settle for Burna or pay higher. Either way, it favours you.

We have tried this path of banning and adopting local products. Yet, it didn't change much.
[/color]

[color=royalblue]Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Why not add more requirements and increase the fees for ads with foreign artist, voice overs and contents?

That way, you encourage clients to go local, and also make more revenue if they insist on foreign names[/color]

Izzou, Donjazet, larride, Oasis007, Segedinho read through this

https://mobile.twitter.com/ChimarokeNamani/status/1564318052061270019

[color=royalblue]My question for Chiboy is this?

If the Igbos support Atiku, and he loses out.

Tinubu rules for the next 8 years, probably stepping down in 2031.

Would PDP fields a Southerner when APC would be presenting the North?

We can't be thinking of long term, when there's a chance now[/color]

patrickmuf:
Maybe Tinubu supporters should have a go at me for not dragging Obi for his age too since it's tit for tat...

It like asking me to drag Tinubu for choosing a Muslim Vice when I have already told you his age disqualifies him from my perspective. Isn't it exercise in futility for me to go on and on talking about someone who isn't an option...

[color=royalblue]One last question, my boss

Is Tinubu dividing us along religious lines by choosing a Muslim Vice?[/color]

patrickmuf:
I don't have time for back and forth. I already stated that Tinubu's age is a No for me...Didn't you see my verdict on the 3 front runners? Why do you people feel I have to go ahead to highlight other flaws when I have already pointed out that his age is a limiting factor hence I am not supporting him?

If you want a robust comparison of the 3 men, Tinubu will come out tops but then, his age which comes with its attendant health challenges is his undoing...

[color=royalblue]Feel ke?

It is what you typed.

You accused Obi of dividing the country with religion. But you didn't see any division when Tinubu appointed a Muslim as his vice. Still trying to understand you on that, but I'm sure God will give me the grace

That was the only point Mr Anfield tried to point out. That agenda should not fly for Obi at all. Obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso have actually United us religiously.

Nobody follow you argue achievements, sir. Na just that line make am call you out.[/color]

Theflint1:
APC's economic philosophy here summarized.

[color=royalblue]No vex, help me explain the aim of this tweet.

I never understand the message wey that guy wan pass[/color]

patrickmuf:
What will you make of it if Atiku and Tinubu starts visiting Mosques across the country?

I am even more disappointed in religious houses that have become willing platforms for politicians...

[color=royalblue]Are they not Muslims?

You did not even find any fault with the man that dammed all consequences and selected his vice from the same religion.

Or that one is not dividing the country, to you? [/color]

patrickmuf:
I already stated the reason why I think Tinubu isn't the right choice and I did same for others. What sense does it make for me to to touch on every area when I have one very good reason?

[color=royalblue]This was what he was pointing out.[/color]

Obi is just too deceptive, he plays to the gallery and for me, that's a red flag...Another thing about him is his subtle attempt to divide the country along religious lines...

[color=royalblue]Is Obi really dividing the country along religious lines, when another candidate selected his partner from only one religion?

Obi no suppose get that sub..Na wetin that guy dey tell you[/color]

GloriousGbola:
In the end, he would have lost either way. Tinubu measured his risk and picked what he thought would be the lesser of two evils.

Time will tell whether it is a decision that will pay off.

[color=royalblue]I would be shocked if he wins. I still don't believe he will.

I just find it funny that suddenly, we believe the idea of competence would change people's mindset.

In this Nigeria where millions are illiterate?

There are millions that are illiterate
There are millions that are very tribalistic
There are millions that are very religious

Then you'll just convince them with competency?

afrodoc:
If you are cloaked in righteousness then rather than focusing on the belief systems of each member of the 20m Tinubu supporters and that of the 20m Obi supporters (none of whom is running for President) people should focus on the belief systems of the main protagonists who are the ones actually running for office. Any other thing is an agenda aimed at subtly maligning a whole tribe in order to besmirch the character of the candidate from that tribe.

What we know for a fact is that one candidate is married to someone from a different religion and included people from different states and tribes in his government while the other one had a government filled with people from the same state and religion and actually kicked people from other states out of his workforce.

[color=royalblue]If you are saying we shouldn't focus on the belief system of the candidates, why would one candidate select his vice based on his belief system?

Tinubu has never set us same religion in the Lagos he built.
Buhari, with all the Fulani agenda hung on him, has never ran with a same religion ticket.

It's only online I see people act like it doesn't matter, when in reality, there's enough bile between both religions.

Obi is just cashing in on APC's loophole, and yes, they have given him enough room to explore.

While there are people here who put their tribe first, there are people who put their religion first. Some people no longer believe in tradition and its rites because of their Bible. Those people would definitely vote the Nsukka 3rd class graduate.

In the core North, you cannot buy a land and build a church. They usually allocate lands at the outskirts, and all churches would be there. Those Christians would definitely vote him, irrespective of whether he's a Northerner or not.

I no dey defend Obi achievements, my doc. Nothing concern me with am.

I'm just saying while APC thought Obi was a spoiler for Atiku, they gave him free space to cash in. He will definitely spoil votes for them too.

It's a no brainer[/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
FG don give katsina 6b for cattle ranching...

[color=royalblue]The banditry that caused the destruction of ranches, schools and veterinary clinics has not been nipped in the bud

But the government has released 6 Beeelliiooon naira to rebuild.

After rebuilding, the bandits will strike again.

Guess what the Government will do......

My ear dey scratch me abeg[/color]

afrodoc2:
You wey wear agbada of agenda dey talk about fleeing from agenda ?

[color=royalblue]Not me, my doc

I'm clothed with the cloak of righteousness[/color]

popizaino:
Should he attack the messenger next time ?

[color=royalblue]

No naa. At least, if you want to attack something, it's important to read it first.

[/color]

afrodoc2:
At least Tinubu is accomodating them and even making them commissioners. Let’s talk about how Peter chased away non-indigenes immediately he became governor.

The governor that makes non-indigenes commissioners is a tribalist but the one who sacks non-indigenes is detribalised.
Obi.diot propaganda.

[color=royalblue]I Don let this matter rest, doc

And you don bring up another agenda. Blueray no call Tinubu tribalist oh. Him no call Obi de-tribalist oh.

Docc, flee from agenda, I pray thee [/color]

AnfieldFan:
Tinubu is running on a Muslim Muslim ticket, but he isn't dividing the country on religious lines...

Peter Obi visits Churches even though campaigns haven't started, he's the one dividing the country on religious lines....

For real though, you can't make this shit up...

Abeg make this election do go, make all man rest....Naija don cast....
