But it is not associated with drugs, identity thief, criminality, looting of lagos and nigeria wealth, certificate forgery.And finally 63% poverty and hunger in a country

Peter Obi is receiving more attacks more than most people i know in politics and the attacks are more personal than political

Dreal1247:
I think he needs to massively interpret most of his speeches and interviews into housa language. I know that it takes the grace of God to convince some of them as they have sold many lies to them against him. His plans for the northern indigens should also be made public. Those behind the Nigerian problems will do everything possible to stop him as their thieving channels will surely be closed.

That’s what his party are supposed to be doing but their attention has shifted to court cases until it becomes too

The more I think about Nigeria, the more I realize that maybe our biggest problem has never been finding people who promise change. Maybe it’s what happens when someone genuinely tries to challenge a system that has benefited from decades of corruption, waste, and politics as usual.

Whether you support Peter Obi or not, one thing is hard to ignore: his name has become associated with accountability and prudent management. Yet it almost feels like those qualities make the journey even harder.

Sometimes I wonder if the real battle isn’t about one man at all. Maybe it’s about a system that has become so comfortable with the old way of doing things that anything different feels like a threat.

I believe from now to 2030 that's if he wins second tenure he will get it done before then, the plants are ready it's the distribution that is the problem, cause new pipes will have to be layed in areas that never had one, and those places that already had those pipes will be removed and replaced with new ones cause the pressure is busting the old pipes

You have direct information on this matter and am glad you are making clarifications so people go de believe, That’s one legacy he can make in Enugu metropolis that will outlive his government if he can do it.

Mrfeel:
I think the governor of peter mbah is working on it

If he can be the governor that fixes this he will be remembered like Sullivan was for his urban developments

Mrfeel:
As if those places you just mentioned have pipeborne water provided by government they don't, rather they drill boreholes, enugu depends on government water supply cause even they drill boreholes it won't work cause of the coal beneath

Very true, Enugu case is unique because of topography but there are still ways to work around this issue

jmoore:
It's the audacity to even tell the congregation to go and verify. Chai!!

You are telling those living in same Enugu to go and verify. They came from the homes that lack water supply. Even the guests lodged in hotel can still observe the water problem in Enugu

This is the same thing i was pointing out in one of my post’s today, no need for propaganda, the people are actively giving them solutions how to fix the water situation

BATified2023:
Their children don't care since it's not Lagos or oyo, replace Enugu with any south west state n this thread will reach 15 pages within 10 minutes

This is not about region or politics. Someone made a post somewhere and i copied it to share here so it can somehow reach the right ears. Most times we criticize government on policies without offering alternatives or practical solutions to help guide them, na democracy we de do here and we should give opinions when it matters.

Beautifulday:
Why not quote Mba on x with this? What would Mba be doing here to see this or are you just entertaining?

When has quoting a politician in Nigeria ever worked?, there are people close to them here who will see it and recommend it to them. That’s the idea

helinues:
Enugu and the water problem, the past and present governors of the state have not been paying attention to it

The situation is very worrying so most residents here

I grew up in Enugu, and the inequality in our water system is wild. If you’re in Uwani or around Holy Ghost, the water is so consistent you’d think you’re in another country. But drive just five minutes into other parts of the metropolis, and the story changes completely. You’re back to the mercy of N35,000 tankers.
This isn't just a "comfort" issue; it’s a massive loss of state revenue. When the system works in one street but fails in the next, the government is literally throwing money away.
The Bottlenecks.

• The "Last Mile" Disaster: We’re pumping high-pressure water into a 40-year-old asbestos pipe network. The pipes simply burst underground before they ever reach your house.

• Power & Topography: Pumping water uphill in a hilly city like Enugu requires a steady power grid. Every time the light blinks, the pumps stop and air locks the system.

• Economic Leakage: Because the reticulation is broken, the Water Corporation can’t bill effectively. We are losing billions in potential revenue that could be used for maintenance.

My Advice to the Govt:

1. Go Small to Go Big: Stop relying only on giant central stations. Build Mini-Water Schemes for specific neighborhoods like Trans-Ekulu or Emene. It’s easier to manage and faster to fix.

2. Digital Leakage Detection: We’re in 2026. Use IoT sensors to find pipe bursts instantly. We shouldn't wait for a "lake" to form on the road before we know there’s a problem.

3. PPP for Billing: Let private firms handle the "Last Mile" connections and revenue collection. If the water is constant like it is in Holy Ghost and uwani, people will gladly pay.
We don't need "propaganda water" we need the engineering discipline to make the whole city look like Uwani.

One way that works wonders is suffering. If we elect the wrong people who screw up our nation long enough so we suffer well well we will buck up and become responsible for ourselves.

A better way is education. But that requires dedication and effort which most lack.

I prefer the second. And I aim to do the best I can as imperfect as I am and with the limited resources I have at my disposal.

I am ever so grateful to seun for empowering me to amplify my tiny voice. I hate his spambot though.

Preach on dear, I hope we get it right soon

budaatum:
I am here encouraging people to vote because I can not rely on hope.

I feel you though, and hope too.

What other ways will work best to get more people talking, voting and engaging

budaatum:
Yes, I believe so. Though, in honesty, we are the ones casting that ignorant evil magic spell on our own minds.

I can not be contesting an election and then tell people not to vote for me. I will tell people who won't vote for me not to vote, then pay my own peoples' fare to the polling station to go and vote. And since you have not bothered to be at the polling station to see what is going on, I will pay each person to vote for me 10 times. If I give INEC 100k they will close eye and not see because you are not there to tell them to look.

Please think about it. If I win ordinary local government chairperson na money I go chop, much more senator that pays basic of ₦1,063,860 a month! Trust me when I say there is nothing I or most wouldn't do for that amount of money in Nigeria.

While other countries are concerned and tackling natural disasters, Nigerians are battling bad governance. I hope we come out to vote next election

budaatum:
That's my lie. I use it all the time. I convince you your vote don't count, then tell my own voters to go and vote, and that's how I win the election. It works every time.

Dude, votes you don't bother to cast definitely do not count, since INEC is not coming to your house to register your vote that you couldn't bother to cast.

A massive vote for any individual certainly does count. Besides, voting is the start. It's also our duty to make sure our votes count, or we'd be like the people claiming burglary proof does not deter theft and then leave the windows and doors open for the thief.

so you mean voter apathy is all a mind game to keep us away while they work their magic at the polling units?

budaatum:
I hope it translates to us voting so the president is not elected with less than 10 million votes like last time!

The issue has never been being coming out to vote, it’s what Nigerians have known to be a norm that votes don’t normally count after elections, that alone created the huge voter apathy we see today

A few years ago, many young people stayed away from political conversations because they felt their voices didn’t matter or that nothing would ever change. Today, that seems to be changing.

The last election cycle showed everyone something important: elections have consequences, and those consequences affect everyone regardless of tribe, religion, or political party.

From the cost of living to job opportunities, education, healthcare, fuel prices, and the value of our currency, decisions made at the top eventually reach every household.

More young Nigerians are now paying attention, asking questions, fact-checking information, and speaking up about issues that directly affect their future.

Political awareness alone, however, is not enough. Being informed is important, but meaningful change also requires consistent participation, constructive conversations, and a willingness to stay engaged even when progress feels slow.

The younger generation is paying attention now, and their voices are becoming harder to ignore. The real challenge now is making sure this awareness doesn’t disappear between election cycles. Because building a better country cannot be something we remember only every four years.

Ok! Then this kind of restructuring lies with the judiciary.

Nigeria has a weak Judiciary which stem from the presidency.

Making laws is nothing without an enforcement

I agree enforcement is a major part of it. A lot of good policies and laws already exist on paper, but weak institutions and weak enforcement reduce their impact.

That’s also why I mentioned accountability and citizen participation at the local level, because pressure and documentation from communities can help expose failures earlier instead of waiting until things completely collapse.

DatNiggaDaz:


This format, we have seen before and it is a regular occurence by those who chanted sai darling daddy and today it will favour their families

Let e ask you a question. Since when did you start to have this opinion ? Yesterday, today or what.

Why is now that you have suddenly realised that their are structural problems when the hope you thought will favour you is now disappointing you. Did yoi write this during the time of GEJ ? Why not. If you did Show prove. I am 100 % percent sure that you were part of those who gathered at Ojota.

Now that reality of the faaake certificate holder is hitting you, youbare not condemning him, never condemned him bit you want to throw every other person under the Bus and wear them the gown of "cannot do anything" because the failure you defend as öroven to be a mega disazter

Fair point, but I’m not trying to shift blame from anybody. The current government should absolutely be criticized where necessary. I just think Nigeria’s problems have become bigger than one politician or one election cycle.

QuinQQ:
Alright, you want us to ask so we're asking:
What the fụck is Majoori?

Haha, it’s just a smaller discussion/community space I’ve been spending time on lately.

People discuss local issues, politics, eyewitness reports, mental health, and even advise government on community problems. I just got tired of seeing important conversations disappear after a few days online.

DatNiggaDaz:


After shouting southern yoonity they grabbed and snatched and the reality has dawned on them that a faaake certttifficcate hollldderr can never favour them and their families.

Suddenly, no one can trsnsform the country because their aim is to shift the blame away from the failed incompetent guru str**tegist.

The objective of this thread is to stain everyone with the Red oil of failure and incompetence that if their failed guru str*tegist is a monumental disazter, then no one can salvage the country because there is no hope for the country since the faaake ocean tamer has failed

Mr @OP before you start crying, condemn the snatch and grab teev and his failed maladministration of mandate snatchers before you blame everyone except the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr

My post is not about defending or attacking any particular politician. In fact, part of the point is that Nigerians often become so emotionally attached to political personalities that deeper structural issues get ignored.

Every administration should be criticized where necessary, including the current one. But beyond individuals, I think the country also needs stronger systems for accountability, local economic development, and long-term governance continuity.

gare:
No

So it's only tinubu that can fix it

Why do you think tinubu can fix it please?

Obogidi:
This country is collapsing everyday in every sector by corruption and poor governance, still we are giving attention to unnecessary things that adds nothing to the progress of this country, why did we have this suffering and smiling mentality?.

What do you propose the suffering citizens do in this situation?

Ever8090:
You are right but I wonder why someone will ignore the people who have impoverished us all an start targeting their fellow opresed citizens...it is illiteracy just as you said anyway...

It’s because it’s easier to see the person next to you than to reach the person at the top who is actually calling the shots.
The frustration is real because we’ve been pushed to a point where everyone is just surviving, and when people are in survival mode, long-term thinking feels like a luxury they can't afford. But that’s exactly how the people at the top keep winning, they count on us being too exhausted and scattered to actually keep track of what they’re doing to us.

Beautifulday:
The use of words to deceive Nigerians may take forever to end.

What do you understand as restructuring in this contest as used?

In the context of my post, I mean restructuring more around accountability and decentralization.

Too much attention is focused at the top while local governments and communities remain weak, even though many problems are local in nature.

A country becomes harder to manage when everything depends on Abuja, while citizens have no real structure for tackling poverty, unemployment, tracking projects, or holding governance accountable beyond election periods.

That’s the kind of restructuring I’m referring to.

Beautifulday:
What you can't do, don't say others can't do it. Knowledge is different, so is will power

Noted. But amongst these candidates who do you think can better restructure this country?

Ever8090:
No one can fix Nigeria as long as people are still interested in getting 72 virgins....I can tell you that the major problem of Nigeria is insecurity and we all know where it is coming from and how determine they are to secure there 72

I honestly think insecurity itself is also a symptom of deeper structural problems. When communities have high poverty, unemployment, poor education, abandoned projects, and no accountability, frustration and instability grow faster.

That’s part of why I believe Nigeria focuses too much on personalities and too little on systems.

The news is buzzing again, Jonathan, Obi, Tinubu, 2027 politics everywhere.

But honestly, none of these men can truly fix Nigeria with the way the country is structured.

We spend years arguing about elections while abandoned projects, rolled-over budgets, and failed policies keep piling up. A project starts, people complain online for one week, then everybody moves on.
No documentation.
No public memory.
No accountability.

That’s why I’ve become more interested in citizen-driven spaces like Majoori, where people try to document local projects and discuss what’s actually happening in their communities instead of only arguing during election season.

Because if citizens don’t build accountability culture themselves, 2027 may just become another cycle of promises.

Melezenawii:
Not rumours, you think those that organize the rallies are doing it for free

He will spoil show for obi be that

iwaeda:
Where will brother Peter go now?

I think this is just rumors, oga jona said he will consult widely first.
