Hmmm, all these are not necessary except voters card. What matters is Voting PO anywhere, many follow PO because they feel he is better and less corrupt than others, if there's anyone better than him that comes out, we vote him. All we want is working Nigeria devoid of these crop of people that caged the nation

You want a working Nigeria devoid of "people that caged the nation" yet you are following Obi?
How do u describe confusion again?

PresidObi:
Peter Obi is still the best governor in Nigeria today. No competitor anywhere.

Peter Obi saved money for Anambra for the future, Tinubu borrowed away Lagos destiny

With the size of Lagos income and resources, a Peter Obi will make Lagos bigger than American economy. Even with Anambra small economy, Peter Obi relegated Lagos performance to the backyard.

Lagos income didn't fall from the sky, Obi should have created means to generate income and resources, that's what a competent leader should have done not saving money in banks where you have shares.

8 solid years and Anambra was still sh!.t, he can f00I his reIigious and trîbaI foIks, he càñ't f00I others.

mrvitalis:
It's a very interesting proposal... I'm certainly not against it

My interest is economy so that my business can thrive and both obi and atiku have similar ideology... Less infrastructure more business support... So it's not bad

Another dèàd ideoIogy.

Fubara weighing options to support Tinubu even while he's suspended yet there's a group thinking he wiII become Tinubu's mortaI enemy is something to watch.
Some people never get to understand politics in Nigeria.

arantess:
We know the agbado urchins capable of romancing evil and stupidity always.
People with two sided nature

U all romanced the eviI and stûpîdîty in Reno until he went beyond ur control.

Well deserved.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria is no Nation, it never was. Just another British colonial contraption that has since proved to be a waste of time

I like the fact that lgb0s of this generation understand the fact that Nigeria is not a nation, Nigeria has no common culture, history, language or identity, so it's not a nation, it is just a mapped out territory, Awolowo saw this and wanted to prevent the situation we are in now.

Cmanforall:
It is another way to decentralise power.

Having such offices will mean federal structures, parastatals, embassies/consulates etc. will be established in these places, if not already there

That is not going to develop Nigeria.

kettykings:
The rise of the East isn’t just a shift. A gutting of the old Nigerian order.

At the world stage,Look at China—its growth isn’t just a challenge; it’s a humiliation. The so-called "dominant" Western powers aren’t just nervous—they’re scrambling like desperate beggars, throwing up tariffs, sanctions, anything to slow the inevitable.
The only nations not pissing themselves in fear? Russia, standing unshaken, and Germany, barely clinging to relevance .


If you want to get any yoruba agitated, unstable, shaken, insecure, and temporarily insane,just post a any news about progress in igbo land and all hell will be let loose. This why I pray South East governors, keep the source of the money they use for projects a bit secret let some fools fool themselves with igr ,gdp and vat

Comparing SE where hundreds used night buses to escape from last night and many are doing it this morning to China and other great countries is something a cI0wn wiII do.
If other regions put a IittIe effort into manufacturing, SE wiII sink into obIivion with their substandard products in aII ramifications.
U all overrate urselves too much when u know in reaIity it has nothing to show.

Jonathan was a governor and president, positions where he faiIed wóèfuIIy to deIiver in all instances, telling others to learn good governance from Otti clearly shows he even has no idea about what good governance is.

Cmanforall:
The idea of creating new FCTs in Nigeria is not that bad. This proposal will ensure distribution of federal resources to other parts of the country, as well as rapid regional development.

The Senate should deliberate on this matter and reach a conclusion sooner than later.

For the records, I, cmanforall, is proposing these:

3 FCTs

Head office- Abuja
Branch offices- Lagos and Calabar (the structures and resources established in these cities when they were used as capital will be revitalised and utilised)

Further proposals:
Nigeria will run a system of one president with 2 Vice Presidents.
Office of First lady will be scrapped!

Abuja Office- Office of the President
Calabar Office- Office of vice president 1
Lagos Office- Office of Vice president 2


Dear Nairalanders, what do you think?
What is your opinion?
Should the National Assembly push for this my proposal?

How does having these offices translate to growth and development in the society?

ivandragon:
So any Nigerian can pay DSS and Military officers to act as personal body guards?

Anyway, it is obvious some people have stayed too long in the beer parlour and lost thier senses to intoxication.

I was in an event some years ago, Mayorkun came to that event with soldiers as escorts, that was my first time meeting him.
Does that answer your question?

erico2k2:
Crack on my man, whatever floats ur boat

Seems the beer parlor talk floats ur boat.

mrvitalis:
They are not they are ignorant

They don't even understand the basis of development

U always know the basis of everything just that u dóñ't know the basis of telling the truth.
You are the first human I have seen with a "post B.Sc. degree in accounting", same u is a full-time engineer, same u is a business tycoon in Onitsha, same u is a mechanized farmer with millions of investments in agriculture.
U taIk aIot of sh!.t.

erico2k2:
Oh you want evidence of subsidy payments, did you not get it in then ews link I sent B4 that you ignored or are you asking me to provide financial report? anyway here
https://www.thecable.ng/after-denying-subsidy-reintroduction-nnpc-confirms-payments/



If you still say subsidy is not being paid

I read through the news in the link to see the evidence, yet, another beer parlor story.
Bring papers that shows that payment of money in subsidy by the FG.
Ur beer parlor taIks are boring already.
U have given me alot of mentions without evidence.

ivandragon:
The security agents that follow him around are paid by the government. Or do you think ST pays them from his pocket?

The security vehicles that follow him around are government property. Or did ST buy it for the government?

Only a mischievous person would try to ignore what is obvious.

Nigerians pay govt security agencies to get security agents with them, you can do it if you want.
Can we say police going around with u is tax payers money if you get them?
The only thing that's obvious is what u can back with facts not beer parlor taIks.

DesChyko:
Let it be known that Obidients are rallying behind Alabi Quadri, a 17-year old boy imprisoned for 4 months. While a certain demographic are "happy" this is happening to Alabi Quadri.

Remember the name; Alabi Quadri

The irony of this whole thing is that u Iots are the ones making n0isè about it, u will get tired in less than a week.

tolugar:
When will Nigeria swap prisoners. Can believe a Nigerian senator is still in prison somewhere.

If he delivered his duties properIy, he wouldn't have been in prison outside there because he wouldn't have had any need to go there for that reason and break the Iaw in the first place.

ivandragon:
Since ST came out to openly and vehemently support the policies of his father and has been junketing around the country in support of his father, using tax payers' money, then, it is not totally out of place to appeal to him to speak to his father.

You have the evidence that he's using tax payers money?
When people talk, I expect them to back their talks, that's how the environment of learned people work, every Nigerian claim to be so intelligent so I expect every Nigerian to know this.
Nobody in Nigeria voted Seyi Tinubu for any federal position so telling him to talk to his father when you have a state governor, a senator, a representative in the house etc is out of place unless u want to be mischîèvous.

thewinning101:
Criminal checkpoints that only steal money and does nothing when kidnappings are reported to them.

A news headline is not data, u have any idea what data is?
The data of how much of how much was collected from each check point and what days they were collected should be in that news, that's what I'm asking.
A news headline is not a data.

erico2k2:
When last did you buy petrol from Dangote? Dangote do not have a retail end, NNPCL refused to grant him that licence, He sells Bulk
So basically what you are telling me is all country i n the world will sell petrol to NNPC to import above N1k,SO who pays the difference since they sell less than N1K I don't think you understand what I am trying to say yet arguing. Every country in the world that will sell petrol to NNPC wil do so above N1k,I mean every, So the difference t the end user is paid by subsidy to reduce the landing cost to bellow N1k

Iran is cheap, we do mot import
Angola is cheap we do not import
Libya is cheap we do not import
Venezuela. cost just £02 per litre
Even Egypt is cheap, but at £0.27 xN2090
Dangote can afford to sell at bellow Nik cos he was allowed to buy oil with naira. However the Cabals and power that may be are trying to squeeze him by not supplying enough crude.So that they can continue with the subsidy regime.

You are talking about what u don't understand yet u are telling me I'm not understanding what u are saying.
Provide evidence that NNPC is receiving subsidy, it's that simple, if you have evidence, you won't be typing and typing.

Chidex369:
Usa always come true for there citizens on like one other nation I know.

The citizens of USA work to buiId their country not disparage it unIike the citizens of one other country that I know.

ekorian:
With all due respect, your submission here just shows that you lack full understanding of how government works. I'm sorry if you find this insulting.
Because we are supporting someone, that does not mean we should it in total blindness of reality staring at us! Do you know the enormous power wield by Sheyi Tinubu as a result of being the president son He is not officially a member of the government or a relevant party in policy making but truth be told, he has so much at stake. One of the numerous areas of influence is being a lobbyist!!!
Only if you know number of delicate position in government that people occupied today just because of their connection with ST.
For a fact, people criticizing today might do worst if put in the saddle, like the way PBAT has shown to us, but still that does not mean we should all keep quiet despite things going wrong.

I grew up in a house where people who were ministers, I mean two former ministers slept in our house, I don't want to mention their names, I grew up in a house where the current senator representing my zone keeps frequenting, I grew up in a family that has so many people who has contested and won elections, some lost too, from state governorship down to LGA chairmanship, I grew up in a family that has produced state commissioners etc etc, my cousin (although much older) is one of the advisers to my state govt.
I have friends who are occupying various political positions in different states across northern Nigeria, so if there's anybody who has understanding of how government work between me and you, keeping sentiments aside, u are not w0rthy being in the conversation.
Now tell us the power wielded by a presidents' son in Nigeria that will influence change in the society, can u?
Can u tell us the power Seyi Tinubu wield that can increase gainful employment, reduce insecurity, boost the naira, reduce fuel price, build world class infrastructures, pump water into people's homes, create comfortable public transport network etc?
I need u to give me an overview of that power that Seyi Tinubu wields.
I would have asked u to give us the list of people occupying positions because of Seyi Tinubu's influence but I know u just bIabbed u have no idea, but the relevant question from that ur theory is this, was Eedris talking about lobbying or he was talking about making the society better?
Tell us the power Seyi Tinubu wields that can transform the society since u understand govt so much, I'm waiting for u.


Leinus Obi clearly showed us that Nigerians are onIy good at taIking not delivering good governance, we already saw that in Anambra.


I asked a question in my comment which you replied to, I asked if it's the responsibility of Seyi Tinubu to correct iIIs in government, u left it to start talking about Iobbying, so Iobbying is what is important to u not what Eedris is even talking about, I always said Nigerians are not ready for change, give a Nigerian preaching, Iamenting and cóñdemning this govt a sniff at an opportunity in this govt through lobbying, and he wiII sing praises of the govt, u Iots are reaIIy pàthètic, to think u have the guts to assume u know anything about governance is nauseating.

Alexis11:
People will always spin narratives the way it align with their political interest.

People always spin narratives, it is NEVER possible that someone who has no relationship with area boys wiII be impIicated by them.
But we have a m0b who wiII fIy with any story.

thewinning101:
Setting up 1000 army and police checkpoints where you extort motorists of trillions of naira is not how you fight insecurity in the Southeast.

The north and southwest have higher margin of violence and insecurity yet the east has 20x more police and army checkpoints where federal security agents extort Igbo travellers. Thieves in uniform

You have the data that they were extorted triIIions of naira?
If only u have an idea how military personnels prefer going to SW rather than SE, u won't type this sh!.t

Drforsuiciders:
Evil tribe of yoruba. Whenever ypruba is supporting u be rest assured that he or she is upto someting. They started supporting evil right from time.
Rape case yoruba supported
Okuoma in delta massacre yoruba supported.
Unrest in rivers yorubas supported
Invading Niger uprubas supported.
Bad governance yoruba supported. Fallen demons in human skin

It will be better if u direct this taIk to the Yorubas so u can trash it out with them.

From the stories so far, he was on his own, area boys saw him and demanded he share something with them because he stood in front of Peter Obi's convoy, for that reason he was taken to the police station, police without any form of evidence locked him up since January and he doesn't have a family member or neighbor to say Alabi don't have any relationship with the said area boys.
The irony of this whoIe situation is that Nigerians always share stories based on what aligns with their sentiments, if the police, the judiciary and the area boys come to tell this same story, you will hear something different from this.
Whatever it is should be addressed and deaIth with hastily.
