At least they didn't deny his investment and if the investment didn't appreciate after he left office you shouldn't blame him. Blame your government and not Obi. Why are companies closing up in your country and relocating to Ghana?
I AM GLAD THAT OBI INVESTED AND DIDN'T LOOT THE MONEY.

You are entitled to your gladness, buh do you know anambra has one the highest poverty index in the eastern region.

caprini1:
Its just like 10 years ago ,with 10,000 naira you can go to Cotonou,buy a bag of rice ,tin tomatoes ,small carton of chicken and 5 litres of vegetable oil,but today it can only buy you just 5 litres of oil....not Cotonou,s fault ,but your naira,s fault .I hope pea brains can understand this simple explanation of this Obi and brewery investment?

I enjoy your throwback buh the analogy is totally wrong. are you saying if i buy a land of 12m in 2012 @ #10m after 10yrs becos naira fall my land will depreciate. i understand it was borne out of good intention buh the fact says he made a wrong choice of investment, and at these critical stage of the country we don't need trial & error.

SmartPolician:
No sane person can proudly campaign for Tinubu because we already know his story.

The problem with most Nigerians is that they are deeply attached to their tribe and religion.

Regrettably, they prefer those affiliations over competence.

As a matter of fact, there is no aspect of governance that a tinubu does not have much & better achievement than Peter obi ..... infact i am beginning to see peter obi as another GEJ. When we engage you people its not as if we feel Obi stand a chance buh it just let you know objevtivity is the bases of criticism.

PoliteActivist:
Obi's massive popularity will neither be enhanced nor diminished by all these minutae because it's not based on any of these.
His popularity is because o[b]f his words, behavior, and general comportment over the years. [/b]For anything to affect that popularity it has to be something NEW AND MASSIVE, not all these minutae from 40 years ago!

You might as well sit all your kids down n tell them, at this stage of nigeria we need a leader with visible achievement that preceeds him .... we are no longer taking empty promises from, whoever will sow cloth for nigeria we must see sample.
We voted Gej & buhari just becos of there lifestyle & comportment, where did it take us, We are done taking promise anyone who feels he has what he takes to fix the country must show workings. no more i have no shoe i have no bag nonsense , mr integrity bullshit

LadymissiIe:
that your first point, i wanted creating a thread to debunk Ubunja's rule on no green light no approach.
seriously a girl showed me greenlight and it was so excessive and obvious till it got to a point I had to approach her but alas she disgraced me and I was so ashamed.
Also girls are so secretive, they might like you and crush deeply for you but will still end up maintaining a hard face like they no send you.
See women are so mysterious, it's just better we let them be

Yeah ! women are mysterious becos of the war that go btw there mind & the pvssy .... the common mistake guyz make around women is taking women's word at face value.
when a gurl shows greenlight don't rush to her, if she is for real she will find excuse to come around you, what you have to do as a guy is play naive like you aint move ... women don't like being resisted,reject or freezone they rather go to any length to straff such guy cos thats the only way to retrieve her lost pride

Fahdiga:
Millions of Nigerians won't agree with this arrangement. They want the people's choice Peter Obi as their president

the millions that gave OBI one millions match abi the one million yet unborn.
i get the country is hard and there seems to be no hope hence why some of you have decided to survive on false hope, enjoy it yle it last

ogascomax:
Timubu will understand Northern politics after 2023. Let him continue deceiving himself. The Northerners in the party majority of them will stay by just to give him the feelings that they are behind him but the voters will be the one to seal is fate. It's game over for Mr it's my turn.

keep guessing, from north won't vote Tinubu at the primaries, them vote am
the new illusion now is north won't vote tinubu, a man that has installed more senators & governors in the north more than atiku .... no point arguing just like the primaries time we tell

subsidywise18:
Okay.

So long as you agree.that if we refine at home it has to be sold at a profit to.end user

Not at N165 or less

I believe a good economy will comes with a commensurate good standard of living that will agument purchasing power ..
Do you know because of our insane dependants on dollar, an increase or decrease int'l oil price is immaterial to nigeria revenue sometimes i doubt if our leader are truly educated
Nigeria needs local production and exportation badly ... crude oil should be a blessing not a curse.
A booming economy enables good standard of living which in turn augments per capital income, when there is purchasing power #200 or plus won't be a problem for consumers

subsidywise18:
That is the landing cost.

It would have been higher if goverment did not cut cost by refining our crude in substandard refineries aborad.

Even if we refine at home it would cost over 200 naira.

165 fuel or 40 naira fuel is not sustainable. You want working refineries then let them refine and sell at a profit.

I am talking of local production and you are talking of landing cost ?? ... do even know the numbers of cost attach to importation that local production eliminates.
In nigeria of today about 70%+ of our forex sourcing goes into importation of fuel ... if that stops e do you know the tremedous effect it will have on our economy & national reserves..
Asides booming the economy, you know the number of employment one standard refinery we creat and power generation it will add to national grid.
If pms sells over #200 via our local refineries knowing how much it will boost our economy the sacrifice is worth it than asking nigerians to sacrifice for a deregulation that will only profit another economy. local production is the only feasble & viable option for any sincere govt.

subsidywise18:
And how do you want any refinery to work when you refine fuel at over 300 naira and sell it at 165 naira?

See?

If imported refined Pms + freight & landing cost don't total #300 why should local refinery be overboard.
what are the prime cost attached to local refining that gave you #300. please educate us

subsidywise18:
Am sure if Peter Obi implements subsidy removal...the only solution...you won't like him anymore.

How many times dem wan remove subsidy, in as much as our govt don't want to do the right thing subsidy removal has become a convenient LiE and a perfect excuse to dole at lame minds.
A quick one, kerosine and diesel as being deregulated how far ?? of what use is a product that is available and people can't even afford it. lately companies, banks are now running on short operating hours, companies are struggling to afford diesel the common man can't even afford kerosine anymore .... the goal of availability as being defeated.
The solution and only solution is "Active REFINERY" ... why is it impossible for nigeria to own a refinery does it make sense to export & import back what we own and why can't the govt tap into the local modular refineries, support & regulate it @least instead of demolishing them. We need to stop fooling ourselves, the road path is clear buh our leaders just prefer bush path

wiseoneking:
You got it all wrong. The greatest structure are willing minds that are ready for great change.

Secondly, people are ready to sponsor obi. Even we here in the US are not left out. Politician will no longer be in charge of who you gonna vote but your strong willed conscience. For you to see a great number of southwesterners despite been associated with tribalism or hatred against an eastern president shows you that apart from their beliefs in Obi, their conscience won't allow them to decide for another.

ALL you guyz have up your sleeves is grammar, una no taya .... despite all the noise compelling people to collect there pvc and vote ... just 36% of accredited voter in ekiti came out to exercise the civil duty and whats more shocking is ekiti 2018 election recorded more voters the 2022 election.
From 2015 till date, online polls as proven to be another word for day dreamers ... a peter obi that could not win with an Atiku that has more structural influences and financing wants to win a national election by twitter, facebook, nairaland likes & shares. Make una continue

NakedTruth4eva:
Oshe Lagos developer. Just lick Tinubu's ass quietly

Mumu who brought fashola, who owns fashola, who sponspored fashola .... if you were educated you suppose know say governance is continuity, tinubu did his part, fashola did his own.
NA me you dey quote twitter kids for, so after fashola tenure, did development & governance stop in lagos think naw
IF it is fashola blueprint that transformed lagos why did he not carry the transformation to his ministerial endeavours.

Goodnigga:
if you were born in the time of Olagunsoye Oyinlola & Buba Marwa,you will know that those predecessors tried. It was even the latter that introduced the tricycle popularly called Keke Marwa

Oga i was born in the 80's ... you can start from gen. raji rasaki sef ... from jakande to buba Marwa they all tried buh than does not discredit the fact that Tinubu gave lagos a new image. Marwa did his best and i remember lagosians liked him buh we loved Tinubu even more .... from fashola to ambode to sanwo olu you will see a synergy because they are all building on one man's blueprint which is only limited to lagos.
I am not saying anyone that want to vote OBI should not vote him buh make we dey clear ourselves the facts base on records & achievement not empty promises i don grow pass that one abeg

NakedTruth4eva:
Beer parlour statement. Lagos was a former capital of Nigeria, have so many federal infrastructures. Countries have their consulates there even before Abuja. It's like Abuja becoming a state tomorrow and a lunatic governor claiming that he developed Abuja.

will you keep quiet, i was born and raised in lagos and i know what lagos looked liked in the 90's, lagos is a capital is the most stupid excuses i knew most of you will bank on .... nigeria his the largest oil producing country in africa and we are still suffering to get fuel ... now sit n roger that

Goodnigga:
hmm, stop using Tinubu revenue. Check the revenue of Lagos when Buba Marwa left in 1999 and compare it with when Tinubu left in 2007. It was not Tinubu that was responsible from 2007 till date

i won't check anything for you, if you have a point to proof pls paste it here.
what we have in lagos from 1999 till is called ongoing concern i.e continuity from one govt to the next, no aggressiveness from obi's fan can change the fact the lagos we see today was built on tinubu blueprints now i chance anyone intellectual supporting peter obi to show us Peter Obi clear blue prints in anambra or even now that he is aspiring.
Nigeria is not producing and we are bearly surviving on less than 20% of our revenue and a supposed graduate campaign solution is prudence.

Vulturereloaded:
I can bet you that the person that is posting this has never entered plane. Still depends on parents who are suffering from inflation.

No independent Nigerian, who paid for flight for 12000 and is paying 60,000 today, or bought a bag of rice for 6000 in 2015 and buying 25,000 today, will be campaigning for Tinubu.

So it is Peter Obi that ruled anambra for two terms without any concrete achievement is whom to vote for, 8yrs peter could not turn anambra to semi mega city.
Tinubu left lagos n today lagos is the most revenue generating state because a man vision not to depend on federal allocation
You want me to leave tinubu because is old and vote for a peter obi who is 60yrs, if peter obi was a visionary and half the man tinubu is, anambra won't be one of the states with high poverty in the East

Esseite:
How some of you reason is supposed to be studied specially..

Is russia the world poverty capital?
Is russia the 2nd most terrorised country?
Is russian upto 200m in population?
Does russia have over 40m unemployment?
Does russia have a 90% debt to revenue?
Does russia have a monthly minimum wage of $49

How do you folks reason.. where do they get you from?

Sorry i overestimate your capacity, let me recap, You said Tinubu will turn nigeria to a mafia ground ... so in my head i had to envision a mafia ground and what life would be like in a mafia ground, for anyone who does not understand what a mafia ground looks like russia is a perfect example, you are propagating tinubu will turn nigeria to a mafia ground and i am proposing tinubu might as well adopt mafia ground effective mode of governance, i simply followed your illusion why are you now getting agitated
Next time don't start a conversation that is way above your IQ. all that question was highly unnecessary

Esseite:
Nigeria would be run like a mafia ground if Tinubu mistakenly becomes president..

Russia is a mafia ground ... is the country not better than afhgan & nigeria combine, funnily its saver to live in russia than to live in america

IfnobeGod20:
Please let us be truthful to ourselves, his inclusion in the ticket changed the narrative. Peter won the votes of Ibos for Atiku/PDP while the votes of other christains tribes work the wonder for Buhari/APC. Buhari presence in the Redeemed church camp changed the whole thing and made the christains to buy his ticket.
On the primary election, it is a party affair and does not concern non-party members and as we all know primary election in Nigeria goes to the highest bidder or somebody the governor or president want. Forget it, primary election in Nigeria is not a yardstick for popularity contest.

I am not disputing osibanjo didnt bring anything to the table, what i am saying is osibanjo input was an icing to buhari cake at that time and the truth being told Nigerians were fedup with pdp then .... any ss/sw xtain plus buhari at 2015 would still equal victory.
as per redeem influence i can relate atleast buh you're over emphasizing.
If primaries successors are not base on popularity then i doubt if you understand or have being following politics ... money asides, in PDP who as more popularity across the nation than an atiku, moving on to Aoc who has more popularity & reach than Tinubu in Apc. In politics popularity is a yardstick to convince others you have the sorted interest.
Havent you seen celebrities contesting election with rooted politicians in there constituencies and they will win, ... if you need update bankyW won eti osa under pdp thats popularity in play.

sanpipita:
If indeed submission isn't slavery or weakness why do men avoid it?

Are you insinuating men don't submit to there boss/superior.
Is osibanjo not submitting to buhari sinister desire, the will not see fayemi, omosun, bankole and host of others submit to tinibu so he can fulfill is ambition. even among friends, partnership one person will alway dominate consciously or sub-conscious

IfnobeGod20:
Stop lying, choosing him sway the votes of most christains and professionals to APC. Remember Buhari even went to Redeemed church to worship because he was looking for votes. Choosing him made a lot of difference. Stop lying to justify your assertion.

If osibanjo was what swayed xtains to vote for Apc/buhari, did pdp/Atiku not present a Peter obi who is also xtain ... infact peter obi as 2015 had more popularity and influence than a yemi osibanjo.
90% of nigeria electorates knew Yemi osibanjo during 2015 election, you can't convince me a person without popularity can have a humugous influence to sway a national election without a facilitator
You forgot a lot of political weight bigger than yemi osibanjo formed an alliance, where you put them saraki, tambuwal, nkwankwaso and tinubu influence gave osibanjo acceptance in the south west.
If osibanjo as influencial as you insinuated why did he not sway primaries to favour him

BenzEne1:
Playing this your game I can as well say the terrorist who killed a pregnant Muslim woman and her four kids in the SE are from a particular religion. Does this mean Christianity teaches murder? Don't blame Islam for the crimes of terrorists masquerading as Muslims. First of all Islam doesn't preach this sort of murder.
Secondly the folks who burnt Deborah were totally wrong from an Islamic point if view, because Nigeria isn't a shari'a state. And even if it was, she would be judged by a shari'a court before any punishment[b]. This also does not take away the fact that she blasphemed by insulting the Prophet of Islam. Some[/b]

what you call a game as actually brought everlasting sorrow to a large number of people that is reality ... that a muslim woman & kids were killed in east does not mean easterners did it, with rate muslims fanatics cite that incident, seems it is serving it purpose.
If you know the number of churches & xtains that have being killed in nigeria by muslim fantics you will know one muslim woman & her children can't suffice as defence.
The highlighted shows the leopard can't never change its spots, deep down muslims will alway find ways to justify there quran killings.
Two muslims in aso rock is a morale boost for jihadist,boko haram, shiaria and bandit killings

quota45:
Firstly, when has a Muslim or Christian becoming president helped Nigerian masses achieve anything. I am a Christian from the southwest living in Lagos and we have conquered the religious squabbles that have brought turmoil to other regions in the south and made some places unliveable in the north. Just like Tinubu who is a Muslim with a Christian wife, many families in the southwest also have the same scenario and most of the children are allowed to pick the religion they decide to worship or practice. Fashola the former governor of Lagos is a Muslim man who has a Christian wife, and to add to the purity of their union they are both married to just one wife. My father was a Christian and my step mom is a Muslim, do i love my siblings any lesser i don't think so. My best friend is a Muslim, whenever sallah time comes we Christian's are the ones going house to house to chop our own meat. As soon as Christmas or Easter comes around our Muslim friends and family are celebrating it with us. What happened in Owo, Ondo was pure wickedness and trust me the perpetrators will be judged by God Almighty for their evil deeds. Why did a group of armed men kill members of a catholic church mostly populated by ibo's in a southwest town a day before the APC primaries, which had a chance of fielding a popular southern Muslim as its candidate. Only God can answer that question, but what i know is had that incident happened in any other region in the south, a counter attack would have happened in a nearby mosque and a religious war would have broke out. To attest to the love shared by the Muslims and Christians in the southwest the Imams and various members of different mosques went to the church to show their support and to voice their anger over this needless deaths in God's house.

As to the issue of muslim- muslim ticket i don't see anything wrong with it, because in an election you have to win before you can make changes. You have to align and re-align to put the best possible scenario to achieve your goal.
In the south you only have Muslims in the southwest and maybe Auchi, Edo state in the south south. So a Muslim is a minority in the south and in the north out of the 19 governors only three are Christians. So with the religious implications in the north, the northern Christian's are a minority. Elections are meant to be won, so how does the apc candidate who happens to be a minority yoruba Muslim team up with a minority northern Christian whose party apc has only one of the three christian governors in the north. Plateau is the only apc state in the north with a Christian governor and don't forget Plateau state is north central and the party chairman is also from north central. He either picks his vp from northeast atiku's zone or northwest that has the highest votes. As a team player he asked the north to pick his vp, because whoever becomes vp will be the most powerful politician in the north

You are people listening to yourselves at all, are you postulating South west muslims are inadequate & sufficient to represent all muslims,even if the north are reasoning like cows should you follow them, if we don't stand our grounds and call the north to order they will never take us serious, they kill us free and its the west that will alway make excuse for them, is it inferiority complex
You are giving tew much credence to the north and that exactly what the north capitalize on to cheat SOuth in th concluded PDP primaries ... it is only northern candidate that can get vote, biggest lie ever then why did north biggest name Buhari fail against a GEJ.
In a country where islamic extremist are on rampage and govt of the day seems unbother do i need an oracle to know what will happen if muslim muslim take over ... when deborah was cruelly killed, atiku condemn the act and quickly deleted, that enough proof that when push comes to shovel a muslim will rather follow boko haram than risk his/her life for a xtain.
Already the east are marginalized, the only way they feel represented is via religion, if Tinubu can convince the northerners to support his ambition he can also convince the north to respect his choice, Apc should stop being mischievous ... if south is that irrelevant then elections should only be held in north let them kuku decide everything. only muslims have brain & competence according to Apc and you are here justifying it.
Before you say religion don't matter, ask yourselves if reverse was the case n we are pushing for a xtain xtain ticket we nigeria not be in flames by now, you claim you have muslim friends, in the north you are there 1st target when fight happens. you to form civilized, educated & expose bah,oga these nigeria, how problem is local

Eniitankorede:
How many votes can any of them fetch him in the north? Do you think it’s a religious contest we are doing? If he picks any of them and loses election, what’s the benefit of such action?

Lets stop talking like election novices, the major determinants of vote is the presidential aspirant, vp add little.
2011 people voted for Jonathan, sambo was just a figurehead ,2015 the only song in peoples mouth was say sai baba osibanjo was just an icing to the cake so nobody should now come and confuse us VP is the cake while presidency is the icing. if north could understand emi lo kan in primaries they will definitely support him even he insist to do the right thing, not all nigerians are gullible

mach7:
It is not that simple. Election is all about votes and numbers. Irrespective of the sentiments we all share, it is clear that Muslims form the major voting block in the North....at least 70%-80%.

Being a Muslim minority from the South and choosing a Christian minority from the North is political suicide.

Don't let them mess with your brain, North voted for obasanjo and Gej respectively were they not xtain, nigeria is a country of diversy people, culture and religion there everyone must somehow feel represented in a way, if not by tribe or region @least by faith/religion hence why "zoning" and religion combination was enacted, and it made absolute sense cos it fit perfectly well into the scope and ideology of democracy.
There is no historical backup to your assertion of a political sucide, we are not in a banana republic there are regulations, and tinubu is a beneficiary if the north could understand it south turns what makes you all think they won't accept a muslim xtain ticket, which as being the modus operandi since 1999. we give too much credence to the north even at our own detriment, when the south united did thet not prevail over the north for tinubu emergence, if tinubu could force himself on the not why is it possible to scale thru with is choice if he is not being mischievous. its time we know our bearing lets see how muslims vote will make him president

BenzEne1:
We still on this religion brouhaha
So far he picks the best of the lot, Muslim or Christian or even ATR.
Mo na leave all this nonsense about religion, not helping us....

In a country where some xtremist can burn a fellow human alive base on there believe and the govt kept murm, in a country where only churches get burnt and pastors are being targeted by bandit kidnappers it is sacrosanct we are duely represent that is the scope of democracy, nigeria is not a muslim state, yorubas adage says, igi gogoro ma gun mii lo ju ati okere la'tin wo i.e long stick don't shook my eye naa from far you go don dey dodge am.
One of the main problem nigeria has today is insecurities via bandits, kidnappers, herdsmen and boko haram its not a coincidence they all belong to one region & religion ....
why must it always be xtain that will sacrifice for the progress of nigeria, since 1960 till date a xtain xtain ticket has never been a topic for a day why are the muslims alway selfish & self centered ..the best country in the world have lil or no iota of muslim @ elms of affair so what is the muslim muslim agenda about.
If Tinubu thinks he can fool us and cunnily impose a muslim muslim on us then is doom eminient. we are in democracy lets run it like democracy competence is not exclusive to any region or religion.

Magnoliaa:
Abi it is you?

How was the husband hunt, abi bo sé lor lo tun sé bor

PresidObi:
Tinubu is a very blessed man. We thank him for all his achievements which is uncommon. We also use this opportunity to beg him to go out on a high, to stop trying to rubbish all his life work in his quest to be president after the disastrous outing of the man he actively promoted to be president.

That experience alone has left a south taste in our mouths and convinced us the youths that very old people have no business trying to rule a country in the development stages like Nigeria.

We urge Tinubu to step down so that younger men can rescue this country.

Thank you Sir.

To the discredit the old you need to justify your opinion with sound references atleast ... yahaya bello, ayade, bello matawella, seyi makinde,Babagana umaru are within the age bracket of 45- 54 that qualifies as young men,
My question, is there administration better? how many of these young governor on record has better performance than tinubu despite time & tech advancement leverage.
We have three potential presidential aspirants, asking a 70yr tinubu to go n sit down for an Atiku who is 75yr or a peter who is 60yrs sounds hypocritical and mischievous.
All of them are above civil service retirement age, except will have a re run for fresh candidates the age bullshit holds no water.

ATIKU is 75YRs why is Tinubu only the subject matter of age

pocohantas:
Oga shut up. I don’t know you from anywhere. I can never be yoked with a filthy and slimy being like you! No lady here is interested in you. Definitely not me, Pocohantas.

Wetin I dey use you do? If I get you, na to use you for sacrifice straight!

can you repeat that with ur real voice ... its for ur own good nobody takes you serious

APCnaPDP:
All these presidential aspirants are not even ready. Tinubu is hiding his own aspirant. Nigerians, what else will Tinubu hide when he becomes your president if he has to hide just a VP?
If you vote Tinubu, you vote for retrogression. You go still suffer the consequences.

Hide ke ! is that even possible, Apc is party jam-packed with over-ambitious people it is not like PDP with fewer options .... when nigerians vote for presidency in 2023 and we still don't know tinubu Vice then 'Hide" would suffice. @retrogression thats your opinion atleast not fact
