He lives large with 20k-40k a week
That’s about $120/week!!!!!
Really? My 16 yr cousin that works part time at IHOP earns more a day
Better save an get ur visa out of there!
Live large indeed

₦40k in Nigeria has more value than $120 in the Western World.
For a distance in which you will pay £5 for a taxi ride in the UK, you will not pay more than ₦500 for an equivalent distance in Abuja. For house rent, an average room (including student hostels, and not self con) in a big UK city will probably go for about £300-500 per month (for rent). That's nearly ₦150 - 250k. Nobody pays that much for a room in any part of Nigeria (including Banana Island).

My point is, cost of living is cheaper in Nigeria so we should always factor that in determining how good or poorly people earn in Nigeria.

CilicMarin:
It is all over for Mazi Chukwuemeka Ambode Kanu..

Since the beginning of this administration till less than 3 months ago, you guys had been disturbing our ears on how Ambode is the best governor in Nigeria. As soon as Tinubu rejected him, he became IPOB. You guys should have some sense of dignity.

Buterflyle0:
You should use your brain instead. He was referring to PDP rigging and still losing despite all their rigging. There is no pain worse than that.

Its actually the ones who are not ruling and desperately want to wrest power from the ruling party that would do all possible to rig as PDP did.

You have obviously sold your soul to the devil for gains you are getting from the Prolific Destiny Pilferers party aka PDP

Rubbish!

Oga, if grammar is difficult for you, it isn't for me. Oshiomhole too hasn't been bad with grammar.
If he was referring to PDP losing despite their rigging, he would have said something like "people who cannot endure the pain of losing after their rigging...". It's not a difficult grammatical construction for someone like Oshiomhole.

All the observers commented that the rerun elections were marred by irregularities.
Anyway, I'll wait for the election petition tribunal to do their job. No need wasting e-saliva arguing with you.

Buterflyle0:
It was no mistake oga.

The rigging of PDP at the Osun polls was well attested to and documented. Even I have my own documentation as an observer during the first polls.

Oshiomhole was mocking them that they still lost despite their rigging. His well chosen words obviously stabbed the heart of PDP because they have been lamenting ever since

Oga, use your brain! If you don't understand grammar, go and enrol in an evening school.

"...only people who can accept the PAIN of rigging..."
If he was referring to PDP's rigging, why use the word pain? Was it painful to PDP when they were rigging (assuming they were able to rig)? How also can rigging by PDP be a substitute for the word defeat? Is it PDP's rigging that led to PDP's defeat or APC's rigging? Is it PDP's rigging that caused them pain or APC's rigging?

And how did PDP rig the election when they are not the ruling party? On what basis did INEC allow PDP to rig an election in a state ruled by APC when APC is the ruling party at the FG level?

You have obviously sold your soul to the devil for political gains and your conscience has been seared. Such a shame!

What about the 1000 votes removed from Adeleke's votes in Ayedaade? Nobody is saying anything about it.

Benekruku:
We will one day wake up and find Anambra inbetween Lagos and Ogun, Erosion is going to wash that state to the West

You should be ashamed of yourself for this rubbish you wrote.
For your information, this flood is as a result of overflowing of the banks of the Niger. Ogbaru is a local government which is low lying, and it's in the Niger Basin. Anytime River Niger overflows it's banks, it (Ogbaru) is one of the worst hit areas.

Mahsums:

Wrong thread... The man in question is Igbo.

Aplaudez:
The battle is lost already!

this Adeleke guy is too daft, he shouldn't have allow a rerun in the first place!
cry me a river like that op has said!

You know nothing! He could never have stopped the rerun from holding. He can only challenge the whole process in court, which he's going to do. I know the election petition tribunal will cancel some of these rerun results. Adeleke may still win finally.

Freestyl:
Governorship Elections under President Buhari
1. Bayelsa - PDP won
2. Ondo - APC won
3. Anambra - APGA won
4. Ekiti - APC won and now
5. Osun - APC

The same INEC conducted elections in the 5 states mentioned above and PDP accepted only the results from Bayelsa and Anambra... they accept only when it benefits them.

This MENTALITY of if APC wins, it is rigging, but if PDP or any other party wins then election is free and fair MUST STOP �

I think INEC deserves some accolades!

Source: @BishBerry on Twitter.

Oga, there are some results that are clear and people don't complain much.
Did you hear people shout like this when APC won Ondo? Even when Fayose lost in Ekiti despite the belief by PDP that they would win, the anger wasn't that much. In the case of Osun, PDP and even APC didn't believe Adeleke could put up that kind of fight on Saturday. Nobody did. It was that Saturday's outcome that gave PDP the morale.
Talking about yesterday, anybody sincere to themselves know that it wasn't an election that was held yesterday. It was daylight robbery. If yesterday had gone like Saturday and APC still won, people would still have complained but it wouldn't have been that bad.
Let us be honest to ourselves if we really want Nigeria to move forward. What happened yesterday wasn't an election.

agarawu23:
aregbesola is a disaster to osun state which I can't argue about. Another person is going to rule now so let's watch his performance. We aren't talking about aregbe, we are talking about the new elected

He was Aregbe's Chief of Staff. You can't really isolate him from the disaster of Aregbe's government. Chances are that he would have a similar approach to governance.

agarawu23:
Another victory for APC. Even though they are called destruction, still better than the thieving parties who nearly wanted to steal our futures

PDP is a thieving party... What did Aregbesola do in Osun for the past 8 years that put the state in a debt they won't finish paying in the next 20 years?

johnglo2:
Did team Secondus seal up the deal? Or it is the usual Abuja meeting? I understand Saraki and Atiku went on campaign even thou Saraki was appointed by the party to negotiate with SDP no 1.

Saraki is the leader of PDP

How come there isn't any mention again of the 1000 votes deducted from PDP in Ayedaade Local Government? On the original result sheet signed by the returning officer, it was 10,000+ votes for PDP while in the final collation, INEC gave them only 9000+. If the 1k votes were actually removed, it means APC actually needs a margin of about 1354+ votes to win today's election.
Who knows more about that situation?

maasoap:
Free and fair election in 2015 when card readers were not used in South South and South East thereby recording 97% registered voters turn out and 95% of the votes for PDP. Continue deceiving yourself

Oga, there was no 95% turn out in the South East in 2015. As a matter of fact, South East had their worst voters turn out ever. Say what you know.
What we had in 2015 is the best version of free and fair election we can have considering the way Nigeria is presently structured. The North – South dichotomy will always make a perfect election impossible, but a manageable election is possible and that is what we had in 2015.
The possible malpractices in Rivers and few other South South states were a little attempt by PDP to counter what APC did in Kano State where Buhari got 1.8m votes and there were no invalid votes. We remember how Kano REC and his entire family was murdered shortly after. The rest of the northern states especially Katsina, Jigawa etc all had votes that were equally inflated for Buhari.

OhiOfIhima:
With this attitudes of yours... PDP is done n dusted.

Mark my words.

Wike seem to be the agent tools use by APC to destroy PDP.

It's like you're new in Nairaland not to recognise that the person you're quoting is a BMC member.
PDP isn't done and dusted. They may not win in 2019, but 2023 will be very interesting cos the Sai Buhari factor won't be there.

oladele00:
The election that brought fayose into power in 2014 was the most bloody election in the history of Nigeria. The inhuman role of obanikoro and the rest can't be forget in a hurry... They started it and they should be ready to dance onecorner to it...PMB till 2023

So what happened to PDP the following year after Ekiti 2014? Hope Buhari will allow a free and fair election next year just like Jonathan did in 2015.

midolian:
Election has been rigged

When PDP wins an election, that is the beauty of democracy..but when APC wins, Buhari is destroying our democracy

So you're impressed with the conduct of the election today? Be honest to yourself for once.

Yusuf54:
and do you know that if PDP leaders had stood by Adeleke,PDP might have done well in the rerun unlike ApC leaders that stood by oyetola,

Who said they didn't stand by him? Saraki and Atiku both met and discussed with Omisore. What else should they have done? The intimidation by security agencies was too much today, abeg.

Yusuf54:
Some people are novice When it comes to election winning mentality, If the election was truly rigged,PDP would never have won a polling unit. This rerun election is APC/SDP Vs PDP and not APC Vs PDP..simple calculation

Oga, the election held today is totally different from what happened on Saturday. APC didn't play a do or die politics on Saturday cos they underestimated the extent of rejection of Osun people on them. That's the only reason why PDP won last week. Today, it was a matter of life and death for them.

AmazonTopaz:
The woman is being manipulative a "woman who is submissive to her husband ultimately rules him"
Bros that one na manipulation.I do not like to manipulate people so I would rather be blunt than pretend to appear submissive in order to get you to do my bidding.
also try not to generalise some women have ego too it is just the African society that tries to trim down the ego of a woman and continue to cultivate the ego of the man.
Don't make someone laugh abeg.

Unfortunately, you misunderstood me. I was not talking about deceitful submission just to manipulate a man or get him to do your bidding. Also, when I talked about ruling over the husband, I was only referring to winning his heart completely such that he can go any length for her. It's often a reward for the sacrifices of such women when the eyes of their husbands must have opened. It usually takes a while to happen.

My babe taught me how to sincerely apologise whenever I hurt her, but she didn't shout or force it. She showed it and within a short time, I was won over. If I had a misunderstanding with her and I was sad, she would apologise immediately she realises I was hurt. Later on, she will open my eyes to the way I offended her and in most cases, I even treated her worse. Because she has apologised even when she had a weaker reason to do so, I will often be very motivated to apologise to her. Gradually, I learnt how to say "I'm sorry" even for the slightest offence. That is what submission does.

AlhajaChinyere:
To be honest, you are very correct. A submissive woman will ultimately rule and own her husband.

But asking for it or demanding it won't work. It should flow naturally - which is the case when a man has got clout and respect.

You are right. When respect or honour is forced or demanded, it loses it's flavour. That is the reason why God doesn't mandate us to honour him. He gives us the willpower but expects us to make the right choice. When we love and honour Him by choice without compulsion, it means so much to him.

A lady was found dead along Onicha-Igbo/Abuja road.It is unclear what led to the incident.Onyeka who shared the news wrote...

'Just happened in onicha-ugbo this morning along onicha-Igbo / Abuja road before the 2nd T junction.
God have Mercy'

It's Onicha-Ugbo, OP.

May her soul rest in peace. Such a terrible way to die. Kai!

AlhajaChinyere:
Foolish African men always begging and asking for submission, na your slave?

See your hypocrisy! I mentioned that African men bear most of the financial burden of the families but you didn't pick on that. It's only my mention of submission that caught your attention. Shameless feminists!

I don't need you to agree with me, but a submissive woman ultimately rules her husband. A woman who submits to her husband can get the man to do anything. You don't approach your husband with authority or insistence on your stand as a woman and expect him to yield. He's a man and men have ego.
When you hear some men being tagged as woman wrapper, then you know their wives are submissive, and they've held their husbands in 'captivity'. I don't expect you to understand anyway.

MARKETfund:
The fewer the voters on hand, the better for PDP


I can imagined PDP prayer point now: Father use the presence of the military to our advantage (scare away voters)

See how I became first to comment effortlessly
Same way everyone reading this shall succeed without having to try too much

Not when the polling unit is PDP's stronghold. They will want 100% turn out, if possible.

Oyedepo will buy another private jet to celebrate this one

If you know what "being an Oyedepo" entails, you will choose to remain the way you are in your lowly state, rather than enjoy the "pleasure and dignity" of being an Oyedepo, with it's attendant pressures and stress.

donstan18:
You have a very good point, but I think you misunderstood me.

I mean, as a lady you are, how much do you think a lady should atleast have before going into marriage?

A lady's character traits and virtues are more important than any amount she has in her account, especially in Africa. Even if she has a lot of money, our culture makes it such that the man still bears most of the financial burden.
As far as I'm concerned, any lady that either has a decent job or skill which can yield money and matches these up with sound character in the home front (including submission) is good to go.

Lipscomb:
Wasting of money. And what is wrong with udom using working stick at that age?

Because Udom is WORKING!

psalmy2:
And he was welcomed back after spoiling their election .

Imagine that 49000 votes were added to the LIFELESS party

Clueless people....... PDP all da way

Some of these 49k votes were actually votes against APC. If the man had stayed back in APC, some of his voters would have voted for PDP.

Does anyone know if local flight operations continue during NLC strike?

sadeola:
Akin Ogunbiyi is a better candidate.

I'm not very familiar with Osun politics, but I think you're right.

otherway:
The sad twist is that this guy will not be allowed to be the Governor either through rigging or disqualification if he ever wins cos he still has a pending certificate forgery case.

So whichever way, he is a goner. APC chieftans right now...

If he's disqualified cos of certificate forgery, Akin Ogunbiyi who was 2nd placed in the primaries will take the mandate. The seat will still be for PDP.
