Politics › Re: I Thought My Problems Were Over When Nigeria’s First Lady Promised To Help Me by jospepper(m): 8:08am On May 04, 2025
Promise and fail is a sin

NOTE: This post is a general advice to all of us on the power of a promise. It's not directed against the First Lady.


On a bitterly cold night, a billionaire was walking through the streets when he encountered an old, poor man shivering in the cold. The billionaire, dressed in his warm, luxurious coat, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the man. He approached him and asked, "Don't you feel cold being outside without a coat?"

The old man looked up, his eyes reflecting years of hardship and resilience. "I don't have a coat," he replied, "but I've gotten used to the cold."

The billionaire, moved by the man's plight, said, "Wait here. I'll go inside my house and bring you a coat." The old man's face lit up with hope and gratitude. "Thank you," he said, "I'll wait for you."

The billionaire hurried into his grand mansion, intending to fetch a coat for the old man. However, once inside, he got distracted by the warmth and comfort of his home. He became engrossed in his evening routine, enjoying a hot meal and the company of his family. The promise he made to the old man slipped from his mind.

The night grew colder, and the old man waited patiently outside, his hope keeping him warm. Hours passed, and the cold began to seep into his bones. He clung to the promise of the coat, believing that help was on its way. But as the night wore on, his strength waned, and he succumbed to the freezing temperatures.

In the morning, the billionaire remembered the old man and rushed outside, only to find him lifeless on the ground. A note was clutched in the old man's hand. It read, "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the power to fight the cold because I was used to it. But when you promised me help, I got attached to your promise, and that took away my power to resist."

The billionaire was struck with a profound sense of guilt and sorrow. He realized that his well-intentioned promise had inadvertently caused the old man's demise. The promise, which had meant little to him, had meant everything to the old man.

While a promise might seem insignificant to you, it could mean the world to someone else.

Patriotic citizens of serious Nations

In the giant of Africa she'd be giving intelligence to her tribesmen to enable them to attack other tribes, kill them and occupy their lands because their fore father told them "he will dip their religious book" in the atlantic ocean.

Nigeria is really a cruise country.

Why is it that things that are really as simple as ABC in other countries are rock science in Nigeria?



This country is really tiresome.
Because if they are as simple as ABC in Nigeria, it will be difficult to manipulate the system.

So make them as complex as possible to enable corruption.

If he single-handedly destroyed the PDP, then Wike did what?

Be honest with yourself abeg
His destruction of the PDP started in 2015 when he teamed up with his fellow Fulani people in APC to defeat Goodluck Jonathan. The spirit of what he did in 2015 will continue to haunt him.

Osinbajo and kwankaso, then tinubu will be gone forever. Make Dem give Obi SGF once Dem enter.
At least the politicians in the north that are patiently waiting for Tinubu to complete his 8 years and hand over to them will not agree o.
Politics › Re: Atiku Should Allow Credible Candidate From South As Coalition Candidate - Shehu by jospepper(m):
That man is too greedy for power.

He went and joined the opposition in 2015 to ease the PDP out of power and returned in 2019 to contest against the party he helped to enthrone in 2015!!

If the PDP had retained power in 2015, maybe his presidential ambition would have been easier to achieve since he would be contesting from a ruling party

But now it would be difficult for him to dislodge the APC.

He whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad

His madness started in 2015.

Celestialsword:
I think what Donald Trump is trying to do to stop unnecessary expenditure.

Having embassy in some countries is not economically viable to America instead they prefer to maintain consulate or do away with it entirely

This is what a country like Nigeria should do,
Nigeria is struggling to maintain some embassies in some countries where they don't have any economic or business ties.
In Nigeria, they use them to settle the boys and Put some people out of circulation.

Bobloco:
Can you be more detailed about the bold

If you describe Fubara as tyrannical simply because he didn't prioritize the welfare and wellbeing of his people, then what would you call Tinubu whose wicked and draconian policies, masquerading as economic reforms, have inflicted untold hardship on Nigerians?

These so-called reforms have led to widespread starvation, soaring hunger, worsening insecurity, and the general collapse of living conditions across the country.
Tell him o. Apart from the above, the constitution correctly states how a governor can be 'punished' if he didn't prioritize the welfare and wellbeing of his people. One of the ways is definitely not by presidential fiat. Those who are supporting Tinubu today for that illegality in Rivers state will soon cry.
