The machines in the North would not experience much difficulties compare to the ones in the South, leading to either Atiku or Tinubu's victory.

But, if Atiku wins the election, then Kwankanso would win the next after 4 or 8 years. The South should go and Bleep themselves in the court.

Emifele is pushing Northern agenda and working for the emergence of Atiku, simple. APC didn't see it coming.

Buhari doesn't care who wins, whether APC, PDP, LP or NNPP, he's just tired of the position and wants to leave and return to home time to rest.

If Tinubu doesn't win this election, the South should forget about presidency for a very long time or even forever, except the constitution is amended to accommodate rotational presidency between North and South.

[quote author=FuckFuckPastor post=121182780]Deji Adeyanju, a BATist masquerading as Fencist, has accused the North of 'systematically' betraying Tinubu. He alleged that all major religious leaders in the (northern) region have endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

He also accused Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party, of masterminding the endorsements Atiku is getting in the North.

If Atiku wins this election, it would be easier for camel to pass through the hole of a niddle than for any Southerner to become president of Nigeria in future, except the constitution is review to accommodate rotation of power between North and South.

Been grateful is an uncommon virtue that makes u get more!!!

Pls don't listen to anyone, ignore the mark, whatever it means. Focus on your energy on your work and always find ways for improvement and new opportunities. Don't give up difficulties and challenges that come your way, always find a way to beat them with strong will, dedication and persistent. On your own pray to God and live a simple, himble, holy (if you can) and peaceful live. Avoid running frm one church, pastor, Alfa or babalawo to another, you'll waste you money, time and at the end get depressed without solution.

Pls focus on what you do and work hard.Nigerians explanation to happening and particularly, how they link them to spirituality are deceitful, exploitative and time wasting.

Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his...

What should I do?

NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving.

I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me.

I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time.

Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this?

N

Ok

No candidate can achieve this, when elected in next regime. It's suicidal for an economy with low forex inflow. The reserves may be fully depleted within weeks. However, it's possible in the long run.

.

2023 Election would go down in the history of Nigeria as the most ethnic determined election. Atiku would ride on the horse of ethnicity. Majority North will vote for Atiku, while majority South for Obi and BAT. Atiku may emerge victorious.

In core North, religion would be downplayed once campaign kick off. They will brand Obi as Biafran project and a serial liar that cannot be trusted. Money will also exchange hand. Tribalism will set in. Just as #ENDSARS did not go beyond the South, Obi's movement/#BiafraProject will not sell amongst the poor and illiterates. Even the SS/SE/SW will be splitted.

Unfortunately, since Obi is not a politician or even a revolutionarist, and his party does not have structure nationwide, the #ObidientMovement will not outlive 2023. Aside the Igbos are inconsistent with ambition. If Obi decamps to a major Party after 2023, he can no longer be trusted by even the #Obidient fans and Nigerians. For me I have often foresee that Obi made a great mistake by leaving PDP because an Atiku/Obi ticket would have been easy ride for Atiku, whether or not he plays tribal politics and particularly given Tinubu unavoidable Muslim-Muslim combo.

Obi's movement is transient. I believe the movement was birth because Osibanjo did not secure APC ticket. Otherwise, if Osibanjo does, and running with a Muslim VP candidate (e.g., Elrufia, or even Shitimma), I am very sure Obi's labour ticket would have been in Oblivion by now.

Oga nothing is going to change after you've wasted you little money for sacrifice. They'll tell you to do another one, again, and again, and again.

Generally, Nigeria is bad for everyone, particularly, if you're from a poor background. To breakthrough is almost difficulty, if you don't have help. Please don't fall for those scammers (pastors, Alfa or babalawo). You'll waste your money on them, while they smile to the banks, building houses and buying cars, at your own peril. Frankly, I still wonder how people believe these consultants in the first place.

Times have changed, their practices only work when the Nigerian system runs traditional in nature. It's now anachronistic. Your existing family background or the state of the economy now determine success rate not good character, juju or prayers. if the economy is bad like those of many African countries, you'll most likely face unemployment, business and job caprices. If the economy is good like those of developed nations, you'll be okay. If your house get burnt, car accident, you have health issues or other theft covered, there is insurance to take care of them, as long as you don't default your contracts. In Nigeria, we'll leave all that undone and when challenges surface, we say it's water spirit.

Have you not wonder that Davido, Wizkid, Dangote, P-Square, 2Face etc would Bleep any pussy they like. The marine girls and their motherfucker mates and goddess mothers would love to be their baby Mamas. Some may even fight and kill to be the housewife. The difference is too much money.

The truth is the economy is generally bad, and once you don't have much, you go through lots of troubles in businesses, including lose of contracts and so on. If you're a billionaire now or she's a billionaire now, the water spirit won't disturb her.

Oops what you face is atypically of relationship with financial challenges. A man is poor because he's poor. Don't add poor mentality or belief to it. Keep job hunting or try other businesses. All the best!!!

Havemercylord:
Hello everyone, I am 34 years old and I am here to get honest advice from experienced people.

My story will be short and precise.

I met a girl in April, 2022 (this year), she already had 3 kids, TWO for a man and ONE for a man another man.

Before I met this girl, I have what I need at least, i can rent a house, buy my basic needs and even have savings.

But since i met her, i was turned down in all the places where i was promised Good jobs and contracts.

When we went to make consultation, we were told she belongs to water spirit that she refused to give sacrifices or relate well with her fellow water mates, that the more she didn't do the right things for them, my own Life Will be affected too.

She is pregnant for me right now and I have not had any child before.

My question is this, is there anyone here who has had similar experience?

We were told to appease her water mates, that afterwards, things will change for good.

And i have also heard from several people that most times after doing all the sacrifices, things might not change much for the man.

And all these sacrifices cost money!!!

WHAT CAN I DO?

SHOULD I LEAVE HER OR FIGHT THE BATTLES WITH HER?

With social media and internet spread useful to win digital elections but no national structure and grassroot spread needed to win an analog elections.

Penguin2:
How can Obi, who is the only presidential candidate with national spread, be making deal with a regional candidate like Atiku?

Atiku is only sure of northern votes.

Kwankwaso is only sure of Kano votes.

Tinubu is only sure of (some) Southwest votes.

Peter Obi is the only candidate whose support transverses every region of this country.

Only Tinubu brainless BATstards believed such lie.

The fools believe anything. That’s why they believe Tinubu will win Kwankwaso in Kano.

Ndi ala!

Obi and Osibanjo make mistake in opposing position.

For leaving PDP, Obi (and by implication, the SE) throw away their golden opportunity to presidency.

Also, for not decamping from APC to join Kwankwaso, Osibanjo throw away his own opportunity to become president.

Both will politically retire come 2023.

Rozross:
Obi should have just stick with Atiku and patiently wait for his time, this time is definitely not Obi’s.

Osibanjo and Kwankwaso combo would have done that but the professor was not bold enough to leave APC for NNPP. Infact I was anticipating an Atiku/Obi ticket versus Osibanjo/Kwankwaso tickets. Both fail taking an oppositing position the other should have made.

Laggafin:
Star boy Osinbajo and zulum combo wud have given my Obidient family a run for dia Money.. but the Agbado party rada choose a drug baron and a terrorist combo and scored an own goal emilokanly

Your analysis is not totally correct. The only thing correct in your analysis is the salient assumption that 2023 favours Atiku to win. Certainly, it's Atiku may win because North still wants power and are only using Muslim-Muslim Ticket to blindfold the South.

But then, Atiku is angry and would remain so with Obi for leaving PDP. The resignation of Obi from PDP makes Atiku's easy ride to presidency now a difficult but still achievable task. Personally, I feel Obi is the loser for making such a foolish mistake. The decision to leave PDP would also delay SE presidency project for at least 16 years, if not more.

Atiku is very vindictive. He never even congratulate Obi when he got presidential candidate for LP. Atiku would never work with Obi again, let alone to allow PDP zone presidency to SE to favour Obi or who. Aside Obi who else from SE can boost of national popularity. Even Obi isn't popular. The Obedient movement can't stand the test of time. If he loses this 2023 elections which is very more likely, that's the end game for him. SE would prefer other candidates to Obi, frankly. Personally, I see Gov Soludo, if he's quick to forecast the future for himself, by defeating to nationally popularly party. Soludo is a better project for SE than Obi. But even with Soludo, the South generally may find presidency unattainable again because ol constitution does not back power rotation between region. Understanding this, the North intend to use alternative strong political party to retain power. Except the constitution is amended to accommodate power rotation, the North will continue in this game cycle. After Atiku, if PDP brings a candidate from South one of APC/LP/NNPP would bring a candidate from North, hence, they retain power again.

Let us assume ur analysis is correct and that because Obi pool enough votes in SE, and PDP zone presidency to SE in 2031, that would automatically mean they'll loose presidency because APC, NNPP or any major Party would adopt a Northern candidate in order to retiab power in the North.

Kingpin1000:
2 captains cannot sail a ship.
Atiku never said anything until yesterday.
You can see why Obi calls him his boss..
If PDP win Atiku will definitely call Obi to work with him, not for him.
PDP may zone their next ticket to South East if Obi can pull enough votes in 2023 election.
In all na Wike I pity,no matter any form of settlement between wikeand Atiku, He has already burnt the bridge. What Atikuis doing is just letting things fall in place.

Personally, I think Nigerians are too noisy, and naive.
The whole drama about Obi does not even center on real issues on how he could handle real issues, such as constitutional amendments and overall legal reforms, restructuring, unemployment, growing population, liberalisation of the economy, Central Bank reforms, corruptions and others.

Frankly, the problems have been left to get too complex. Even if Obi eventually becomes president, which is most unlikely, I personally see him failing and disappointing us all. Infact, the system has programed it such that even President Buhari regime would be far better than Obi's or whoever gets there.

Whoever gets there, Obi inclusive, has no power to revert prices, exchange rates, and inflation rate. These are pure economic fundamentals that which values have already drifted and settled at specific means. Infact, they may further drift because the economy is yet freed and liberalised. Full liberalisation (removal of oil subsidy, exchange rate intervention and other govt price controls) is fully supported by the IMF. While this is important, it would lead to immediate and medium run increase in price, hence, more hardships for Nigerians, who are mostly unemployed, underemployed, or underpaid. The hard truth is prices will still go up more and more, irrespective of who wins 2023 elections and Nigerians will suffer more.

And like I've written in past comments, noise aparts Obi can't win 2023 and even beyond. He lost his only chance to presidency the moment he left PDP. His chances are high, if he remains in PDP and serve as vice to Atiku, who appears favoured by the North. Obi should have gather experience as vice and show Nigerians what he has to offer. He would have easily ride to presidency, when the mood in the North, would of no doubt, intends a power shift to the South. For now, I suppose that both BAT and PO would not win 2023 election. Shekarau already joining PDP, Wike would never leave PDP, Kwankwaso may be prevailed upon to join efforts with Atiku. This is a game of North versus South, yet the South is divided amongst themselves as well as been fooled to go against a Muslim-Muslim Ticket.

The most nosensical accusation of all time. Aside late Y'adua, Buhari is the only president of Nigeria nobody has ever accuse of looting since assuming office 2015. No scandal such as running foreign business, building multiple hotels, estates, business empires, acquiring land by force to establish large agriculture business, building a university, operating foreign account, having refinery in abroad, selling govt property and organisation to himself. If there is any, trust me with economy becoming so bad under him, the media would have spread all of his loots. This doesn't mean people he entrusted with responsibilities don't steal. Obviously, they do. But Buhari is too satisfied with is cow business only.

SenatePresdo:
Buhari is just waiting for May to reach, so that he can hand over to the next president, then travel abroad and enjoy his loots.

He will never yield to ASUU Demand.


Say No to APC, vote Peter Obi and Datti for a Civilised Nigeria.

Benin people go use jealousy and juju kill you. Stay in Lagos, those people hate progress.

How is that 99.9%? It's 95.0%.

When will Obi visit mosques, and traditional worship centers? If Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso and others are the ones visiting different mosques, I hope Obi's supporters would not be shouting they want to islamise Nigeria.

Obi is taking this campaign too religiously. He should balance things.

Oga help her use the vibrator on her. She cum and you cum too. No quarrel, no competition, and no cheating outside, case closed.

Northerners are only using this as alibi to retain power in 2023 through Atiku. We all know in Nigeria, ethnicity is stronger than religion. Ofcourse they have to look for a loophole to stand on.

If Tinubu had chosen a Christian running mate, it would have been his worse political miscalculation. They'll never accept that Tinubu is a truth Muslim, been married to an assistant pastor. They'll say the Christians want to dominate them. Frankly, majority Northerners elites would tell their people not to vote for him.

If he had chosen a Christain, he was sure to have lost the election even if 100% of Christians vote for him. No wise persons will take that risk. Why follow a path, that leads you to certain loss. With a Muslim-Muslim run, there is at least a 50/50 chance of winning.
Northern politicians who have plans to become President after Tinubu would work for his victory. They'll endure Atiku never wins, because if Atiku does, that may truncate their own dream of becoming president in 2031.

The Northerners are simply using the Christian issue as a sentiments to retain power through Atiku. Trust me, in the North the same people pretending to be fighting for the Christians would campaign against Tinubu as not being a real Muslim. They'll tell the majority Muslims that Allah rejects Tinubu because he's married to a Christian and that he's not fit to rule. Funny enough, the majority of unwise southerners and ofcourse, the Christian Northerners would fall to this manipulation. Eventually, Atiku would emerge in 2023.

Osibanjo, a professor miscalculated to contest against a man in his own politically built party. Why he remains people's choice, he wasn't the delegates choice. Aside, his campaign team was busy campaigning for general election rather than focus on the primary. Osibanjo would have been better of, if he decamps to NNPP. Kwankwaso will accept him, respect him and allow him the Presidency ticket. Kwankwaso can never allow Obi, a small inexperience man, to be president over him. If Osibanjo had follow that path:
- He won't be considered a betrayer as most APC member labelled.
- He'll enjoy background support of Buhari. PYO was actually Buhari's choice.
- Generally, majority Nigerians will prefer Osibanjo/Kwankwaso compare Tinubu/Shittima, Atiku/Okowa and Obi/Baba-Ahmed.
Infact, obi won't get the attention he's getting now had Osibanjo taken that bold step. Obaseki did same and won Edo. Ambode failed to do so, despite his popularity and incumbency, he lost Lagos. Frankly, Osibanjo miscalculated.

As for Obi, presidency is too far from him in reality. Keep sentiments and social media noise apart, Obi lost it the moments he left PDP. He should have remained in PDP, run on joint ticket with Atiku, guarantee easy ride for Atiku, work sincerely with Atiku same way Osibanjo did with Buhari. Trust me, after either 4 or 8 years, when North would not have any claim to presidency based on regional equity, Atiku would allow Obi succeed him. Obi has lost this chance.

Infact, permit me to infar further that Obi has made the South East now farer away from presidency, the least of which is 16 years. If SE support Obi and Atiku finds it tough, but finally emerges as president, after 4-8 years of rule, there will be compelling need for power shift to South. Atiku (who wasn't supported by SE) and the North generally would rather return power to SW. Amongst the South, SW has allow enjoyed the favour of the North, and this may remain the case in 2027 or 2031.

Let me also say that if Tinubu emerged, after his tenure power will shift to the North again. Give or take, except by "Divine" interference that Obi wins it now, there is likelihood that SE won't come near presidency in 16 years.

In sum, if the South wants power in 2023 that can easily be, if they ignore the sentiments of religion and vote BAT. Otherwise, in 2023, the North retains Aso Rock, South retains social media noises and licks their wound.

The following economic principles are guides:

1. Never put all your savings in one investment. Business environments are certainly precarious. A little policy wave may threaten your profit maximisation motives. Optimally, you may invest only 20% of the total savings in a single investment source.

2. Never invest in your money in sources under same or similar wave of controlling factors or policy. For instance, if you invest in forex, don't invest in crypto.

3. Never invest in your current sources of income. Optimal investment are portfolio diversified.

4. Real estates investment are only shock absorbers to curb opportunistic risk of securities and financial volatilities. Don't expect too much from them, they do depreciate in time. For a #10m, you certainly would not want to tie much of that money on "only" real estates. You may as well consider only 20%.

Suggestions:
- Buy one Nigerian use car (#1.3-#1.4m), place it on hire purchase-uber arrangements (@ #2.5m) for the person to deliver #25k weekly.

- Use #1m to buy land in a very cheap area with hope of appreciation future. Don't buy land that is already too overvalued, you won't see your gain in future.

- Look for a local stores/shops/business persons with physical business (better if into essential items like provisions, foods, drinks, drugs, etc). Discuss real business with the persons to support with cash for expansion Take precautions, don't invest more than 10% of the net worth of the person's business. And certainty, maximum of 2% of your savings. You can involve in up to 5-7 independent business of such, which in total should not be more than 10% (#1m) of your savings. Independent means never allow the persons to know each others. And find commitment around them involving family, religion etc. But please only %10 of you income and at best between 5-7 of such businesses, investing between #100k-300k. They can deliver you 5-10% of your investment monthly. Try be merciful, leave the capital for them after you've cash out up to 200% of your investment. Provide business advices to them but don't force or get too involve in their business operations, let them be Independent.

- Buy dollars and keep as cash or in domiciliary account. it'll always appreciate. Only 10-20% of your savings is enough.

- Keep 20% (#2m) as risk free security (bonds, treasury bills. They are also shock absorbers. And put you mind to rest all time.

I hope my suggestions are helpful.

Good evening Nairalanders, please don't mind my Grammer, I'm not a grammarian
One of our colleagues at work invited all members of staff to her sisters wedding in Akure..

The whole staff bought the ASO EBI which was sold 3k, and also paid 2k for the transport which was deducted from my salary.
On the wedding day, we left Ekiti around 8am and got to Akure around 10:20am, the lady welcomed us and directed us to the church venue,the program has not started when we got to the church, they are still waiting for the groom to arrive, the groom set in around after 11, and the program lasted for about 4hrs, throughout the program the pastor was just seeking for donation to build his church, the floor of the church has not been plastered likewise the buglary and Windows, the pastor was just looking for a way to empty our pocket by seeking for donation.

What surprise me most was that when it was time for the couples to receive their wedding ring, they spent about 25minute before the groom showed up, I saw people running after the man as he was looking for a way escape , immediately when the program, we expected the woman to bring our food, I was shocked when the woman said our food is still on fire, they are just preparing our food around 3:00pm, I was boiling with anger, what kind of thing is this? I only took bread and beans in before leaving the house, there is no way of feeding us.

I felt pity for the nursing among us, their kids has been exhausted and now looking like hungry lion, I don't have money on me again, I spent the last penny in paying offering.., I felt like crying that moment, but had to hold myself, I have wasted my time all the way from Ekiti..

Typing.........

Bread and beans is "only"... what would you have taken before? Bread, beans, eba, fufu,..all combined. Bread and beans only should survive one till night in this enduring economy.
