You can't mean well for Nigeria and oppose President Bola Tinubu. Especially when the alternatives are Peter Obi, a lying scoundrel and Atiku, the most corrupt and Islamic fundamentalist to ever apper in Nigeria's public space.

That is what i actually hold. I want igbo presidency but cant be through an empty head and a deciver who disguise as an angel. Let south east be patient till 2039. They have brains who can be president. Almost all obi interviews are always bored and he dont give a credible answer or solution to question being raised in any topic.

sharone21:
North-SS-North- SE VS SW

SE & SW need to agree so SE gets it since SW( not SS) took its position in 2023.

ONE term only so everyone quickly gets a chance.

Which quickly. If you guys cant be patient with the said arrangement of Pius Ayim, then you should forget about presidency. Willl you have say this, if it was an igbo been president.

seunmsg:
Oh, so Reuters is reporting propaganda? Obidients just can't hide their hatred for any good news about the country. SMH.

They are wired to be bitter.They cant stomach Tinubu and by extention yoruba presidency. When they were warn about nzogbu nzogbu politics, they continues but look at them now.

frankson1:
The sensible ones know the criminals who did this. They're perfect at making fake of everything.

They are also the ones calling china to leave lagos who they call no man's land. Very greedy idiots.

Legitiscool:
Obi don enter one chance

Politics is always zero for him no strategy, so you didn't know kwanwanso na trap.

Tinubu basically using obi legs to play home goal since 2023, he is yet to still know he doesn't matter but only a decoy to stop the main threat atiku

I am beginning to agree with what people refer to kwankwaso been used to reduce atiku votes. He said some days ago that he still love his governor that he publicly criticise for decamping to apc. Obi and his tribesmen cum obidients are really politically blind. Obi should have just deputize atiku and made him to sign an agreement in front of highly place people across all session. That ticket would have been a big treat to Tinubu and apc. The northern votes will be highly contested by tinubu and atiku period.

Killallmuslims:
Rip waiting for tinubu to follow

You may even die before him. Dokpesi used its AIT station to wish all manners of death to buhari in 2015 but died on buhari handover date to tinubu. Continue.

Dogalmighty17:
Masari. One of the most useless ex-governors in the history of this country. He said.
"They did the exact same thing to Goodluck Jonathan, and that is exactly what they are doing now."

Masari forgets that Tinubu was the ring leader of the people who did what they did to Jonathan. He engineered and sponsored it. If Tinubu can't take what he dishes out, let him get out of the kitchen.

Is now useless because he didnt speak in favour of the gbajue lieing obi.

Dogalmighty17:
When Dangote needed someone to really sell his IPO to young Nigerians, he went to the son of a fellow billionaire. Davido no be burna boy and whizkid mate at all at all.

You are wrong. He has been a longtime friend with adeleke and he is davido godfather. He actually drove davido and mum when he davido was born in atlanta. How do you expect him to look elsewhere.

favor914:
No joy franchasng, always hating.

Since Dangote is not from the east, he cant be happy like most of his people. They boast to be the best business people but dangote is making look like a local player every time. Kudos to dangote.

ddippset:
The Nigerian P Diddy

If I may!

Thumps up, you just took it from my mouth. Nigeria is truly a lawless country cos pretty mike should have long time be arrested. Some years ago, he put chain on neck of some girls like they are dogs and thr girls were very ok by it. Anyway nothing money cant do for girls to go crazy.

Emmolap:
Lol, so you mean is not your government even as a deputy Governor.

But, honestly I don't know how this government structure works.

Does he mean as a deputy governor you can't directly or indirectly make a major contribution?

So he will ascribe role to himself when he has a boss. He can make a suggestion but the governor wont accept. David umahi was deputy governor to martin elechi the old cargo. Dont you think as an erudite engineer, he might have made several suggestion to his boss about road infrastructure and he was looked down. He took the bull by the horn, when he sought to succed his boss and he later won the pdp governorship ticket without the support of his boss but most pdp leaders in the state supported him and we all saw how he transform ebonyi state. The capital was given a facelift that when i pass through after almost a year to the northern part of cross river were i served, i was confused and it took me to ask someone about how to loca te the park i always took to cross river. I see hamzat in the mode of fashola and ambode.

PlasmaTV:
This guy is a joker.
What has he done as the current deputy?

What do you expect him to do when his boss Sanwo olu is the governor. Wait and let him assume leadership and judge him not be bitter as always.

Akerele44:
Dapada awon Obasa cancus coming online to form topic…gbenga Agbelebu pull crowd pass even Obasa himself for agege sef..next time if u want to post fake topic ask who is living in agege before u post ur rubbish topic…egunjobi that was the worstest chairman during his tenure as the chairman…people hate him like mad…Obasa time as imposter has gone..he think he would install candidates successfully all of his candidates none see ticket aside from him that went for rep..if u are Obasa Abi obidients u better go rest bcuz u knew nothing about politics talkless of agege politics where I was born and brought up

Obasa wings needed to be clip and the apc leaders in lagos has systematically pulling him down.

Eriokanmi:
Shallow thinking as usual, so synonymous with the apc. Fayose was shocked when he challenged Makinde to produce the money he got after noting that the money was intact. They think everyone would be as corrupt as they are. Mtcheew.

There are several ways by which Makinde could have evaded justice or probe if he was corrupt. He could have contested for senate and he'd win unopposed. That's what all the senators in the house who were once governors did. As long as the immunity is there, nobody would touch them till they die. God pass all of them

Senators dont have immunity. Get your fact always right. Makinde is just decieving himsrlf.Tinubu will still win oyo state and his governorship candidate will loose too

smoke9910:
May God bless Dangote. He is targeting those key areas where government corruption has crippled. When he has invested in power and it starts to pay off, it's the same way the same incompetent government will come out of the dark to make things hard for him. The man makes strategic investments that keeps increasing his wealth. If u say the Nigerian government made Dangote, then you are right. Their incompetence made dangote because where they have failed is where he has stepped in and is succeeding.

dangote was strategic and a very big risk taker. As soon as he start reaping profit when he venture in power, oloriburukus will still be crying that government made him. Were are the so called the best business tribe. None of thier people could muster the courage to do big things. Nnaji tried as an erudite electrical professor to invest in power and just like adeleke but they just scratch the surface. One thing you cant take away from dangote, he always aim at the pinancle of business interest. God will continue to bless dangote massively.

Akir2025:
And a Non Semi Literate Trader , Accountant Couldn't fix it as well rather Destroyed the Economy the more .
And with Soludo as World Acclaimed Economist messed up with his Policies as CBN Governor.

Soludo is the best cbn govwrnor in recent time. Maybe you were still a toddler not to know the bank recapitalization he did that when global economy meltdown occured, our banks were strong to resist. Soludo is far better than obi in all ramification. Is it education, gkvernance or whst. Atlsast we have now seen obi liss of been prudent when he was actually opposite.

helinues:
South South will still retain the Senate president position.

I see Oshiomohole the next senate president cos many senators who will be reelected wont vote for Akpabio to continue. Uzodinma is just decieving himself. South south will retain the senste presidency in 2027 and get the vice presidency in 2031.

Ezeama400:
Not because of tithes. Obi remains the best

best in lies. Obi who cant give direct answer to questions been ask.

franchasng:
Dick abi Dickson should be very careful, he should know that Peter Obi is more than a political party and lay down low and focus on winning the trophy first before he uses his overzealousness to undermine the party's chances come 2027 which is what APC cult association is praying for and will soon start praising him for

obi stand no chance of winning next year presidential election. Keep decieving yourself and entire region of igbo presidency. It will never happen in 2027. Thst is for sure.

olaolaking:
His supporters are so angry with those who responded to his challenge.

Thier demi god challenge soludo and he was bursted about is lies and yet his supporters are angry with soludo. 2023 he was allow to sell propanganda but wont wkrk this time again.

Badonasty:
lol…chinko don dominate world trade…dem don infiltrate all corners of the world

They are very welcome to nigeria. They should spread every nook and cranny with retail shops to force those greedy idiots who have been shortchanging nigerians for a long time. They inflate prices to make it look the government is so bad. Tinubu will reset thier evil brain. Just because thier fraudulent lieing brother lost election, they just wanted the country to be destroyed. Those who cant compete with chinese should relecote to Gabon. They accuse dangote of monopoly but they are the monopolistic people.

FSBoperator:
Which evil did Reno commit ?

Not supporting your Agulu fraud is now an evil act?

leave that nonsense guy.Obi has showed true soludo exposure, that he is a package fraud. If not that they are shameless people, here on nairaland.some years ago, they callout obi for poor performance but because of desperation to produce presidency of igbo extraction and knowing fully where that only obi is on the race since 2023, they had no chioce than to sell bad product to nigerians and many fell for it in 2023 but 2027 will be a total ball game. 2039, nigerians will elect a proven technocrat not a dunce and tribal bigot from south east.

naptu2:
I need to be very honest with you. I have been watching these things for many decades and the people that are talking right now sound very dull to me.

Heads of state, especially executive heads of state, are very busy people. Almost everybody in their country wants to have meetings with them and they can't meet with everybody. Quite often they have to work round the clock with very little sleep. Apart from their official hours, they often need to have political meetings late into the night.

This is why their itinerary is usually prepared months in advance. State visits, audiences, etc usually don't happen on the spur of the moment, they are usually prepared and planned months, even years in advance.

Back in the 1980s the head of state of Nigeria lived at State House Dodan Barracks. However some functions were performed at State House Marina.

I often watched as the head of state (Shagari, Buhari, Babangida) went to State House Marina (the police would close down Cable Street) and new ambassadors would arrive, one after the other and submit their letters of credence to the head of state. Then they would sit and talk with the head of state, take photographs and then inspect the guard of honour on the State House lawn.

It is after this ceremony that their tenure officially begins.

As I said, the head of state is a busy person, so this ceremony was usually done in batches. Usually between 3 to 10 ambassadors would submit their letters of credence in the same morning or afternoon.

That's why people that are complaining or making a big deal about the fact that Reno Omokri or Femi Fani-Kayode have not resumed as ambassadors sound dull to me. It could take many months after an ambassador is appointed by his country before he can submit his letter of credence. It's not a big deal. It depends on the schedule of the host head of state. This is not something new or strange, it is the norm.

We've seen Reno Omokri being hosted to dinner by the Mexican ambassador to Nigeria, so where is the origin of the funny speculation that the Mexican authorities have rejected him? We've seen Femi Fani-Kayode take part in the meeting between the Nigerian and South African foreign ministers, so where does the speculation that he has been rejected by the South Africans come from?

These funny people think that they are scoring points when they are actually making themselves look very dull.

It is the handwork of china must go people. They hate who is not supporting the packaged now bursted fraud.

owobokiri:
Every country protects her retail trade. WHY? Together with agriculture, retail trade provides easily accessible jobs for the less skilled amongst the population. It is also easier to start a retail shop than say-opening a factory.
No one has said that the Chinese can not do business in Nigeria, after all they have been running their Chinese shops/towns for ages here, What every thinking mind has said is that they should not torpedo the retail sector of the economy with their cheap adulterated products, at a great risk to the economy.

When a Nigerian trader/business man makes profit in Nigeria, he spends most of it here thereby energising the economy. He builds houses, buying Dangote cement that is produced locally and owned by a fellow Nigerian. He sends his kids to government/private schools in Nigeria and pay handsomely. He buys land in Nigeria most times, and pays to fellow Nigerians thereby enriching the economy. He banks with Nigerian banks that are owned by Nigerian from different regions, and makes shareholders of those banks to rip huge profits. Because he stays in Nigeria, most of his disposable income are spent here, with the attendant VAT payments and taxes. A Chinese seldom wait for all that. Likewise Indians. They are on the next flight out of town with their huge profits..

It is not like the federal government is not aware of all these. They are. It's just that some people in government have chosen to act dodgy for obvious reasons. Otherwise, why are businesses in other sectors being protected from skewed competitions from foreigners, but those areas dominated by easterners are willfully surrendered to foreigners irrespective of the great harm to the local economy?
It is also important to note that the uptick in the presence of the Chinese retail businesses in Nigeria today, is happening as the Chinese authorities start to tighten visa rules for Nigerian businesses/business men..
That is not a coincidence..


When there was a move to start importing beef into this country to augment the low quality products from the fulani herders, the federal government moved swiftly to stop that! Today, irrespective of the quantity or quality of beef produced by the fulani, we are forced to buy solely from them! Infact, a federal ministry of Livestocks have been created to take care of their demands. Buhari banned rice importation. How can a Chinese blatant take over of the economy enrich Nigerians??

When a foreign producer delves into wholesaling and retailing his products.., going as far as opening shops next to the same traders who just bought from him, then there seem to be a deliberately calculated programe to annihilate the "trader".. When the government of the day goes as far as defending the foreign nationals who will import goods into Nigeria, wholesale/retail and then spirit away their earnings back to their home countries overnight, in serious capital flight, and the government supports this, you need no one to tell you that a SILENT WAR is being waged against a segment of the population!


But we have seen this before.
Someone invited the Lebanese and the Indians in the past, to come and do exactly what they want the Chinese to do today.
Where are the bountiful results? Apart from the Chagoury and Chagoury??
Have we learned!?
As long as we make national policies based on primordial disdain for certain groups in this country, we can never move forward.
You can't cut your nose just to spite your face..

which nonsense are you saying here. Is it not same cheap and fske product your people import from china and sell at ridiculus price. Tjey are here to stay and they must be protected by govwrnment so they can deliver nigerians from greedy traders. The chinese should also consider other sectors too.

Sheuns:
How has Lagos transformed in 27 years under AD/ACN/APC and the so called master plan?

If in 27 years Lagos state cannot boast of having a single LG with all its roads paved and drainages properly covered, then what exactly is in the so called master plan?

Transportation?
Road Network?
Drainage system?
Pipe borne water?
Waste management?
Education?

Lagos state has the largest loans in the federation after the FG.

Why are you moving from the topic. Obi parade himself as saint but soludo has exposed him. We are talking about obi, so stay on the topic. When someone bring lagos state or tinubu topuc, you can make that contribution. Nigerians now knows obi proper.

bigpicture001:
Anambra worker cooperation does not exist..

Growing up in Onitsha, there was water board where network of pipelines where played accross the city and water runs inside your fault through a meter where you are billed...

But the system collapsed with the advent of Borehole..and the workers were owed heavily by the government before Obi :Ngige and Mbadinuju.

Mountain of wages were owes ad pension...

No single humanin Onitsha which is the pivot city for the water distribution scheme still operates the system..borehole took over..

So what Obi did on his arrival was to pay up all the allawances ND pensions owed those sector ,faced other development in Anambra Which needed urgent attention....and asked the sector workers to find another job...event and development tof the water sector has overtaken it's purpose ...

But trust Nigerians..just like Nigerian Airways workers who refused to find another job..they stuck there counting new wages to b paid by the government again...
.obi simply abondoned them..

That is exactly what happened

keep defending rubbish. A critical stakeholder has spoken and back is claim with fact. Una go defend tire.

Okoroawusa:
A handover note? Is that all he has to show to counter the Anambra State Government? I expected a detailed breakdown of the state's accounts not a handover note on the last day of his tenure that could have been drafted by a secretary of an outgoing commissioner. So because you said that there are XYZ amounts in the bank I should just believe you even when I take over as a governor and discover that it's not the case?

Peter Obi should do better than a handover note. Obiano and Soludo cannot be wrong and only you are right.

He will only decieve his gullible illitrate supporters. How can some release just that as a counter to well detailed one. I now agree that obi is a boy.
