Must we always threaten? Same thing during Osimhen’s time too. Let the judges do their work.

This is no threat and when they see u are dociIe they can do whatever they want, there's a reason teams and players across Europe continue talking their players up for individual awards and u never see them as threats.
A threat is something u will do to someone and he never said he or we will do anything.

mekleelex200:
Nonsense, is this where football is at now? Lookman is good player but he is lucky that there are no much African players doing much things at international stage.

If it was the modern time of Ego, Drogba, Diof,Yaya etc., who burn am to be nominated.

This is the time of Lookman who born Eto'o Drogba, Diof, Yaya etc to be nominated?

Kobojunkie:
Again, why is $11.92 or Naira 20,000 being sent to the personal accounts of the beneficiaries every month? Is that free money or what is that meant for?

U can continue doing copy and paste, unfortunately, u can continue doing that from now till next year and it won't change anything.
I expect another copy and paste.

saintkel:
u first page was ok....then u got silly n tribal as usual....shame won't even let u hide it

I got tribal because I replied to someone who asked specifically how many people from SE got?
Trying to build a marginalization theory around everything but u never see anything wrong in that, do u?

mrvitalis:
Those supreme Court judges would never know peace for what they did to IMO state

Nothing them and their children to the 10th generation would do that would succeed

They took my state 10 years backward

May they never know peace

They conducted elections in Imo last year?

Kobojunkie:
Again, why is $11.92 or Naira 20,000 being sent to the personal accounts of the beneficiaries every month? Is that free money or what is that meant for?

I have no idea about $11.92, the only idea I have is #20,000, maybe u should ask those requesting for it why they are requesting for it, don't u think that's where the issue starts from?
Because the tuition loan is different from the #20,000.

The demolition of structures like this across the federation is highly encouraged.
Will make for better scenery.

Kobojunkie:
You send $11.92 to a student's personal account for what purpose? Na free money?

Nobody is sending $11.92 to anybody, #20,000 is being sent to the beneficiaries who applied for it every month for 1 year till next application circle.
The whole procedure is out there, if u want to be a critic, getting all necessary information before doing that is advised, that's what I do before criticizing.

Kobojunkie:
Now we just need to find the actual living beings who are linked to those numbers, abi?

Take a stroll to the school and u will see the actual living beings, I have personally interacted with several students and I'm not shocked about seeing schools with 18 students because some schools are not even aware that there's a student's loan program and other schools open centres where their students can apply, for u to successfully apply, ur details have to be lifted from the school and it will correspond with ur details on ur NIN and BVN, goodluck on looking for actual living beings.

Fryx:
That’s why I don’t like democracy. Imagine someone like this casting vote when he is clearly detached from national issues.


I will prefer a system where only political, social, and economic scholars are allowed to choose a leader.

Most of these people will detach themselves from issues happening around them but they are so loud on social media and they will critîcizè what they know nothing about.

CodeTemplarr:
you mean tuition of N20,000? Wonderment.

U still don't get it?
The reason why you are seeing letter of acknowledgedment from the school is because the tuition fees are sent to those schools not 20k.
20k are sent to personal accounts of the students, when u see something in ur society, ask about it, even if it doesn't concern u, ask so u can have idea instead of talking.

saintkel:
How many from d south east?

All depends on how many applied, it is not compulsory to apply and only those who apply get the loan, so the whole SE can decide not to apply and they won't get anything.
That's how it works, they won't beg u or force u to apply.

CodeTemplarr:
Loan to FEED.
Lol. Anything for 2027.

A student's loan is a loan given to students to pay for their tuition fees, tuition fees are for feeding?
The crass ignoràncè in so many of u in this country but u are always quick to talk is funny.

Magnoliaa:
So, let me try my hand at this political prediction thing and see how it goes .


Okay.

1. Peter Obi will contest again, under LP. I don't know if Datti will still remain his Vice. But he will declare his intent to run. And he will get the presidential ticket (after a LOT of sabotaging and in-politics distractions, expectedly).

2. I don't think he's going to do much except to consolidate on his influence, leverage on his wins, keep note of the loss he faced at the court after the last general election. It's quite a simple strategy. If in the space of nine months, he got up to 6 millions votes (or so eye neck alloted), then imagine how much more votes he can pull within 2-3 years. INEC and Tinuke will not do anything different- buy votes, unleash mayhem, go to the depths of hell to invoke every propaganda imaginable. They simply do not have the creativity to run an issue-based campaign nor the political wit to devise a strategy to swing Nigerians over to their side, especially after his colossal tenure. The truth is, there are more people being endeared to Obi as week goes by than there are people who are pro-Obi turning around to support Tinubu.

He has sha entered, and we're seeing his rule, for all of the "let him just be president and we'll see what he has to do" people. More people will be willing to try the 'deep blue sea' and 'the angel they don't know' after they've faced the T-pain the devil that they know.

That is why Obi has not retreated behind the scenes. He's always dominating headlines, always being talked about every other week, going from state to state, by roads, doing acts of charity and impressing himself on the minds of local and common citizens. If, just if he could sway 1m+ votes away from Tinubu's 7.7m votes, 800k votes away from Atiku's 6.9m votes, and small numbers away from the other candidates, then he WILL win, by little or far margin, EVEN if some of his votes should be misattributed.


I believe that's what happened with Lagos State where it was so obvious and impossible for his votes to have been heavily rigged.

So he's just going to play the game he played in 2023, just to greater and multiplied lengths. Politics in part, is a game of numbers, after all, and if as a first-time third force underdog, he pulled that much influence, then he can surely quadruple that in 3 years.

3. All of these though are dependent on the energy of Nigerians. Hopefully, nothing tragic on a national scale happens to people. Or the election is totally prevented from taking place...

4. More Nigerians will be willing to defend their votes. Labour Party as well. And should the election go on to be decided at the Supreme Court (I highly doubt this), I believe the way the last one was treated at the court would help Obi's legal team be well prepared to win the case this time around.

How comes u just described Obi?
He doesn't run issue based campaign but rather he ran his campaign based on his overnight sainthood.

Anyways, for starters, if PDP fields a candidate different from Atiku especially from the south and a Christian, Obi is going to the mûd.
He will be left with his Biafra supporters and u will come to realize that he will still come 3rd in the election, Obi can't win election in Nigeria, u don't win elections by pretending to be what u are not brazenly to this extent.

If Lienus and Atiku decides to contest again, Tinubu will win hands down.

djon78:
100% want to kick u lots out of my country, sharing a cóûñtry with u is a dîsèase on it's own, but where do we start?


Dude you are extremely very delusional by this your statement


You must be a kid?

If all ur bràiñ can process from everything I wrote is "u must be a kid", then I can't help but laugh, only kids think that being a kid is huge iñsuIt like u are thinking.

The major probIem with u confused Iots is that, u write whatever comes to ur mind without thinking it through.
The concept of sovereignty is taught in Government in SS1 in secondary school, the first time I learnt about sovereignty was decades ago in the subject Government and I did sciences yet i learnt about sovereignty in secondary school, so where did you come up with ur theory that it's not taught in schools?
Are u sure u attended a school?




Secondly, tell us how the 1999 constitution hijacked the sovereignty of the people, we want to know, tell us and quote the sections that did that.



Thirdly, it is not the place of religious teachers to teach u philosophy and government, I know so many religious teachers are so confused that they have become haIf bàkèd philosophers yet it's not their place to do that, Mencius, Confucius, Aristotle, Plato, etc etc etc, u should direct that talk to ur so called influencers who do nothing other than influencing mudane trends into u and pushing u around for political agenda of one candidate or the other.

Mindlog:
Weaponize poverty and lure them with food and small cash....sure format.

Any voter who believes in a candidate will never sell their votes, that's something u people should understand in the first place.

tony0806:
There's literally nothing a hungry woman will not do to survive. They'll collect the food and submit their voter's card.

Some of u still don't get it, do u?
A voter who knows believes in and knows who he is going to vote will never change his or her mind, how u all think that a voter believes in someone yet their votes can be bought is baffling.
People whose votes can be bought are the people who put their votes on sale because they never intended it was going to anyone.

EmekaA125:
Same way Zamfara, Taraba, Kogi all have landmass 10X more than Anambra but we all know how less viable and economically stunted those states are. If it's by landmass, I doubt if Igbo will be a major tribe in Nigeria today. What drives economy is population and how enterprising or productive the State is.

I don't remember telling u that anything is by landmass rather I pointed out to u the negative effect it is having, how u understood that statement and said "...if it's by land mass..." Is what I don't understand, have I told u that it's by land mass or it's ur usuaI trîbaI èmpty bràiñ.

Rantingpiglets:
The concentration of IGBOs in those localities bring about commerce. Which inturn is a form of development that expands the core base of a state. The three Governors you mentioned from those states are only ready for FAAC and IGR to embezzle. Moreover apart from FAAC ...the IGR is basically sourced from the commercial sector of every state. Who controls the commercial sector in those three States? Fulani and Yoruba abi?

If you don't have anything sensible to say just shut up abeg. Support BIAFRA so that you can get rid of these IGBOs you so much hate.

Do that and have peace of mind...

Can you support BIAFRA
Will you support BIAFRA?

Senseless mofo..

The last time I checked, the average lgb0 business don't pay taxes to the govt, even Soludo complained about it in Anambra that taxing the lgb0 business is difficult.
People who don't pay taxes are adding to the IGR?
How many lgb0 businesses have tax records in those states?
U are all so good in taIks without thinking what u are saying through.
Someone who doesn't have tax record is paying tax, how are they paying it?
Someone who doesn't have a registered business is paying tax, how?
Most of the lgb0 businesses in the state I mentioned don't even know anything about paying taxes, we are a country with extremely low income from taxes but according to one roadside economists on Nairaland, lgb0 tax is what is developing those states.


I 100% want to kick u lots out of my country, sharing a cóûñtry with u is a dîsèase on it's own, but where do we start?
U are asking me to lead the charge for ur secession?
U are not even making any move before asking for support, u people should make an official proposals for secession and see if the whole country wóñ't accept it immediately, u are making ñoisè on social media and talking about support.

HellVictorinho9:
It is not enough evidence


It only shows my frustration with the state of the nation


This is not the type of nigeria that should exist

This is not how a country should exist

U should direct ur frûstràtîóns to the people at the helm of affairs not ur nationality, direct it to the people who should make a country work but are not.

This is exactly what was going to happen to Leinus Campaign Organization, but he was smart he even made profit from his own organization and took the money to Europe.

mrvitalis:
The difference between Lagos n other states is the economic activities based on government policy has nothing to do with infrastructure

If all. Lagos roads are bad people would still go to Lagos for business

U know what bros... Believe what u wish ooh goodnight

So what govt policies directed all economic activities from other states to Lagos?
Tell us the policy and the govt that made that policy.

We have let u guys circulate so much lies u make urseIves believe it to be true.

Which govt made economic policy directing economic activities to Lagos and what year was it made?
State it for us to hear.




How did u become an engr?
Was it COREN that gave u that title?

mrvitalis:
No rail project in nigeria would generate 30% of its running cost not to talk of breaking even

Bros believe what you want ooh I don't have this time this night

U don't build rails to make profit from it, same way a govt don't build water facilities to generate the money spent on it, it is also same way a govt don't build school to generate money spent on it, it is also same way a govt don't build hospitals to generate money spent on it.
Govt don't build roads to generate money spent on it, so this logic of generating money spent on an infrastructure Suddenly appears when railways are involved because u are from a place that don't have railways is baffling.
Why don't u say that about roads?




A govt won't build a stadium and generate the money spent on it because in the course of generating money, another money goes into maintenance.

How u guys think when making analysis is something that needs to be seriously studied.




U still haven't listed just 20 of the "90% Buhari's projects that were just wants".
Anyways, let's reduce it to 10 since mentioning just one happens to be rocket science for u.

HellVictorinho9:
Why accuse me of not loving enough?

What evidence do you have aga

Ur thread title is enough evidence and that's exactly why I'm accûsîñg u.

EmekaA125:
Akwa Ibom has scanty population with less economic activities. You can't compare the both. Anambra currently leads as the best in terms of road network. The rate of urbanization in Akwa Ibom is slow unlike Anambra. Apart from oil revenue, Akwa Ibom won't come close to Anambra in any indices of development.

They have a larger land mass than Anambra and like u said which I'm not sure, scanty population so u don't expect rate of urbanization to be fast like a smaller Anambra with dense population.
Anambra is not even leading SE in terms of road network, so u can't lead Akwa Ibom.
The impact of IGR and related indices is the fact that what the govt can easily do in Akwa Ibom, Anambra govt can't do it.
All what u have been listening are not something done by govt rather the people.

IGBOPROMISE1:
*Lagos was the political/administrative and commercial/industrial capital of Nigeria for decades before and after ‘independence’! As the political/administrative capital was moved to Abuja in the early 90s, Lagos still remains the commercial/industrial capital of the country! The implication of this is that Lagos has become cosmopolitan and has benefitted massively from business and population (local and foreign) and inflows which as a consequence enabled it developed a self-sustaining economy!

*A disproportionate amount of infrastructure was built in Lagos to the point exclusion and detriment of other states/regions. This occurred mainly during the oyel boom of the early 70s, after the war. Projects and infrastructure that readily come to mind are: national arts theatre, Iganmu; national stadium where FESTAC77 had its opening ceremony; Tincan port; federal secretariat; federal palace hotel; flyovers; Murtala Mohammed int’l airport; Tafawa Balewa square (formerly the national race course); 3rd mainland bridge, Carter bridge; etc-etc-etc!

After the war there was talk of implementing the 3Rs in the then East Central State to ‘assist the region recover from the war’! Now can you list what projects Gowon and those after him built in the spirit of the 3Rs?

*The entire country had to go to Lagos….now Abuja inclusive, in order to apply for visa to travel out!

*For decades Lagos was the only international gateway for the entire country! Presently Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano have joined Lagos, while they grudgingly allowed AIIA, Enugu to serve ONLY Ethiopian airways in which anyone using it has to go via Addis-Ababa to wherever their final destination is! As we speak, the Buhari and now Tinubu gov’ts finished the new int’l terminals in the other airports while leaving the one for AIIA to gather dust and cobwebs!

*Lagos hosts the headquarters of banks and multinational coys in the manufacturing and oyel and gas sector. These coys remit their PAYE deductions to the coffers of the Lagos State gov’t, thereby massively boosting its IGR! I’m sure you’ve heard oil producing states like Bayelsa and Akwa-Ibom complain that the headquarters of oil and gas multinational coys should be relocated to the Niger-delta where they operate? I’m also sure you’ve heard northern commentators argue that the planned tax review should ensure VAT is paid to the state where the operations of the coy concerned are located? They argue the way it’s presently set up would disproportionately favour Lagos to the disadvantage of others!

1. How does Lagos being the capital of the country done to detriment of others?

2. Those things u listed, were they built to deprive other states?
Those theatres, squares and bridges u mentioned, are they not built in other states and regions?


3. So going to Abuja to apply for visa was done to the detriment of other states?


4. Give us the range of the decade when Lagos was the only gate way to Nigeria. Do u realize the Buhari and Tinubu are the ones rebuilding the terminals in the first place?


5. The reason why Obi Cubana prefers building his tricycle factory in Lagos is the reason why other companies are putting their head quarters there, I never realized it was the FG doing that to deprive other regions.


After reading all what u have listed, I didn't see the part where u said those things were done to deprive other regions.
SE has bridges just like Lagos, has international airports, FMC, military barracks, POLAC and other so many many fed outfits like other regions.

Going by ur analysis, someone from Ogun, Kano, Benue, Kwara can wake and say FG favored Lagos to deprive their state.

IGR do not contribute to GDP please... Quote your collaborating source I there you

IGR is not even a derivative of GDP...yes the maximum that can be generated is maxed by GDP...but it's not a direct derivative of GDP...its more of a government policy derivative

In the same economy IGR can rise and fall without corresponding movement in GDP
Who defines what's enough...? Do you know that some countries pride themselves as T ax free?

IMO says FAAC and their small revenue is enough to give them good performance in MDGs... While allowing business to grow... How's that a problem

Quote ur source that IGR does not contribute to GDP or financial capacity of a state (because this is what I have been saying).
The difference between Lagos and any state in the SE is IGR, Lagos can undertake projects Anambra cannot because of it's huge IGR, it can access huge loans be because of that IGR.
IGR is important for societies not having abundance of huge resources, I said that before.


Secondly, any country priding itself as tax free has resources in abundance and low population that it can cater for.
Since IMO said so, what's stopping them from developing rapidly with profound infrastructures and social amenities or they said it because talk is cheap?



How did u become an engineer?
When did u register with NSE?
Did COREN give u the Engr title?

HellVictorinho9:
I hate how politics is done in nigeria ,not nigeria itself


I regret cuz of comments like urs


U accusing me of hatred is wrong


The regret can disappear

Most people say things like that due 2 frustration


Itz people that are tribalistic or encouraging political war that hate nigeria


Or people that see nigeria as a company owned by whites

Who are those doing the politics like that?
They are those who do not love the country.
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is that they will always be led by unproductive mèñ".

I haven't accused u of hàtrèd, I àccûsed u of not loving ur country enough but wanting to preach change.
It can't work unless u love ur country to the core.
The power to change the society lies in ur hands.

Rantingpiglets:
See them...

All these States are littered with useless Governors and are encampments for Fulani Herdsmen killers and other terrorist actors.

Why can you develop your worthless regions without believing that IGBOs should have an input?

Very useless Statement from you...

Sincerely speaking, if you support TINUBU, you must be totally senile

Nonsense

From ur rants, u have agreed that u don't develop anywhere unless their governor does, so why the noise about investments and developments?
Investments naturally develop places, u all claim to have huge investments everywhere, so why are ur investments not developing the states I mentioned since u have a high concentration of ur investors in those places?
I'm sure u have over 2m investors in those 3 states, so why are those investors not developing the states with their investments?
