Obi don turn to bar man, Lol. Naija elections will humble you.


-Kiss the truth!

But isn't this within the character of Obi as we've always seen? He does this sort of thing all the time.

madridguy:
Everyone of us from Agenebode, Etsako-East local Government area are happy with this news. Congratulations to the people's governor.

So why do Agenebode people particularly like Monday? What has he done for them or promised to do for them?

IKON360:
That's a legit falcon, it looks like it's the Peregrine Falcon but I am not sure but that is one bad ass bird.

Interesting. How is it bad ass?

And that's what Mr.Obi is afraid of, competition. Wants something on platter of gold just like Nigeria got her independence without much sweat!
Mr.PO, prepare to subject yourself to party internal democracy!

Atiku can't defeat Tinubu though. So why simply let him dollarise it and win it only to lose again?

yarimo:
OBI must participate in primary election with ATIKU

Then Atiku will throw cartons of dollars in the air and run with it. Obi will quit and join AAC or XYV. And that was how Tinubu won a second term.

emkz:
Asuerinme Ighodalo.

Congratulations on taking the courage to run.
Congratulations on losing. It takes a gallant man to lose and accept it, but refuses to give up.

You were a fantastic candidate and would have been a great governor.

You will be a great governor.

I rooted for you.

Your albatross was Obaseki. Obaseki had successfully made enemies for himself. Those enemies saw you as his project. Obaseki fought Dan Orbih, fought Wike, fought Tinubu and forgot to fight himself and purge himself of the fighting and malicious spirit. He even published a one-page newspaper advert when he abused Wike. He even announced that Wike had presidential ambitions and promised to scuttle it. Then when he needed Wike, he took you to him. He forgot Wike's influence over Edo legacy PDP.

When Obaseki got fully involved in your campaign, he did substantial damage. He made it about himself. You were seen as Obaseki's third term plan. Obaseki threatened fire and refused to sign the peace deal. As a lawyer, you know that the Supreme Court is a policy court. They sometimes take decisions to guarantee the peace and stability of the polity. Obaseki presented himself and you as a threat to that.

Please consider contesting in future. Please build your own political network. You are a likable guy with boardroom experience. Reach out to your people and show that you are not cut from the same cloth as the guy who ruined your campaign with his rhetoric.

SalamRushdie:
The only place Naira stability works is in the area of long term planning and investment, I don't see how it can improve disposable income in any way , to increase disposable income the govt will have to either cut tax rates or some undue tariffs ... I raised 200 million Naira in 2023 for a project the attendant devaluation took so much away from the money as we failed to convert it to dollars and till now we are still paying the price for that , so you should know how much i know the importance of Naira stability

So the experience of working people (typically salary earners) isn't relevant in your opinion. If the percentage of your income that goes for food or health keeps rising due to inflation and exchange rate stability helps stabilize or reduce inflation, you need tax cuts to feel the impact of that?

SalamRushdie:
Explain how it will help reduced unemployment ? Explain

I'll explain how afternoon follows morning first. After morning comes afternoon. Then evening.

Similarly, a stable naira will reduce inflation, especially in the long and medium term. This will improve people's purchasing power, meaning they will buy more cement from Dangote and spaghetti from FMN. These companies will employ more people due to increasing demands for their product and better being able to source what they need. A stable naira also makes it easier to plan your operations and source dollars to import industrial machinery and raw materials. Further, reduced inflation makes it easier for Mutiu to set up a barbing saloon and for Njideka, an unemployed graduate, to set up a rice processing plant.

Where do they recruit these presidential spokesmen from? I've never see one that understands diplomacy and does not use uncouth language (apart from, maybe Chukwuemeka Chikelu and Frank Nweke Jr.).

chiagozien:
Because he only arrested street touts and native doctors.





He should arrested harden criminals in the bushes, that's where he will see high percentage of terrorist fulanis herdmen, Yorubas and some Igbos.

Your post is funny. He's only arresting people on the streets. If he goes into the bush he'll see Fulanis and Yorubas. Hehehe.

Love800:
Rubbish propaganda as usual!

It will never reflect on the everyday lives of the citizens!

Decayed administrators!

It will reflect. Stable naira rates are good for businesses, which should help reduce unemployment. It will help inflation, which is the biggest issue in microeconomics (the economics of everyday lives of citizens).

nairalanda1:
I still think the naira is linked to oil though, so I disagree with Bloomberg.

The thing is, we got to stop relying on oil for most of our government revenue

CoronaVirusPro:
Now I see why Trump has been pained.

I knew the sudden visa restrictions and threats was not just about BRICS. A big win if we can COMPLETELY decouple from the USD.

If you getting US hate, then you definitely doing something right.

Thanks to the administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Doers don’t make noise. Trump can keep bluffing.

The decoupling they’re talking about is naira from oil – that is, naira rates no longer fluctuate with oil prices, unlike in the past. This has clearly been the case since the beginning of the year, as we have seen the naira held firm in the face of oil price fluctuations. This has been brought about by the floating of the naira, increased non-oil exports, and reduced imports, particularly of petroleum products.

This is why some of us have called for the floating of the naira for ages and have defended it since Tinubu implemented it. I expect the situation to get even better in the coming months as we reduce crude imports.

No, I'm not unaware of the mass suffering people are still going through due to high transport cost (because they removed subsidies without significant intervention to cushion the effects) and the inflation it brought. I'm just saying that the macroeconomic indicators are good and in another year or so, things should start easing up at the household level. I also hope they fix the issues of roads and electricity, which remain big stones around the neck of our economy.

Image123:
The drama queen wants to come to the hallowed chambers for content creation today. She needs to be taught that this current senate is not for skits.

The current Senate is for skits though. You don't put a guy like Akpabio in charge of a house and say it's not for skit. I'd say the drama queen being in the current Senate is a round peg in a round hole.

TimeManager:
A press release on Monday, signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Deputy President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, noted that the assembly of candidates is unfortunately marred by their alleged records of corruption, extreme proclivity for political power, and their covert sponsorship of violence in Nigeria.

As if this doesn't apply to those currently running things.

Kosiso12:
The event was presided over by the National President, Imperial Super High Chief Darlington Nwabunike (Ogbaluaku n’anwu na Ojoto), Eze Nwakaibeya, whose visionary leadership continues to inspire and galvanize the Igbo elites towards a common purpose “Living for Humanity”.

They have an imperial super high chief. I dobale for them.

marlow1962:
While this might be true ( I highly doubt, considering the present reality in this country and hungry family the lady might come from), I believe someone can just go to the cyber cafe and print out nonsense just to trend when he/she posts it online.

Either way, good luck to the young nigga getting married, but sha do DNA.

Why do you think the lady might've come from a hungry family?

favor914:
in all honesty your level of reasoning is rather porous, politics is not about sentiments, no honor amongst thieves.

Tinubu through INEC can give these desperate ones forming opposition in adc the Tanzanian treatment.

It is obvious that u are oblivious to the powers the president of the republic has?

No body dash tinubu president of the federal republic of Nigeria, jagaban no be Ebele Jonathan, u & them x 100 amaechi, atiku, Obi can not do anything.

What's the Tanzanian treatment?

Another complication:

She is the first of two daughters
Next, her only brother (older)...

Na wa

I wonder what's wrong with you people. So there's a contradiction between being the first of two daughters and having an only brother. Someone even liked the post.

And Nigerians don't refer to their cousins as sisters everyday. Smh.

oluwaseunamos33:
Hmmmm. This reminds me of this poem in primary school 🏫🏫🏫. ' sing a song of people, walking fast or slow'

Sing a song of people
Walking fast or slow
People in a city
Up and down they go

Sing a song of people
Walking fast or slow
Sing of city people
You see but never know

The first and the last stanzas. Not sure I can recall all the rest. Well, maybe most of it I can.

Yet they will say other states are eating from Lagos tax. Tell me any other state in Nigeria that has gotten the huge FG infrastructure Lagos State is getting.

Which huge infrastructure? This one?

This experience was so painful and sad,even though I believe she didn't tell the complete story because of societal stigma.Those evil men violated her,one reason they let her go,because she will be of no use for whatever they wanted to do.

Interesting take. How does violating her render her of no use for whatever they wanted to do?

Sonnobax15:
no be only defense system . Infact,na bulletproof system

Kenya just want to shake their small nyash as if they even gat one in the first place

BTW,how much is the annual budget of the whole of Kenya?

Well, you can't deny Africans their vanity projects.

Amuluonyenaego:
Most families in Nigeria now are on 101 cos of the condition tinubu put us into.

I do 101. Nothing to do with Tinubu though. I don't feel hungry in the afternoon.

Muslims are to be buried in the nearest Muslim cementary/Grave yards!
Muslims are not to be buried at home or around the home!
Muslims are not to be buried in the mosque or around it!

No mortuary!
No Embalments!
No Coffin/Caskets!
No wasting of time!
No wasting of money!

Burry Muslims in the nearest Muslim cementary around the place they ended their life!

This, right here, is one of the things I like about Islam.

gman55:
This is eye catching, and very interesting. Will be in the comment session to read experts opinion.
But one quick question: from the first picture, will there not be a residue or stain if one rubs his body again the wall?

Them, don't rub. I was born in a mud house.
