PoliticsRe: Northerners In Tinubu’s Govt Reduced To Choristers – Salihu Lukman by lekonso: 6:38pm On Jul 01, 2024
chiedu7:
When Buhari treated Igbos with disdain, they had no problem.
The northerners were not choristers that time. Make them kuku divide this country into 3 major regions, make each region governs itself. These complaints from regions outside of power when one region is in control is becoming unbearable.

I wonder oo. How i wish the biafra agenda is granted, so that the remaining part of Nigeria can have peace. If they allow you people to go, if you want to enter Nigeria, we will have to give you visa. We will have the opportunity to decide whether to allow you to enter or not.

PoliticsRe: Shehu Shagari: Nigerian President's Salary In 1979 (Throwback Photo) by lekonso: 7:04pm On Jun 28, 2024
Sublimesuccess:
Hmmm

That was when my father bought a brand new car for less than #4000. So the annual salary of the president then would buy almost 13 of such cars. Imagine selling that car for 8 million naira in our own time and a modern day president can afford to buy 13 such cars with his BASIC SALARY of 104 million naira. There was corruption then as well.

Even the cover price of the newspaper should tell you something. That newspaper cost 15k then, now it is #300. If you divide #50000 by 15k, it's the same result you get by dividing #100 million by #300, the current price of the newspaper, and I don't even think the official salary of the modern day president is up to #100 million. For the president nowadays to buy the same number of newspapers the annual salary of the president then could buy, he must earn #100 million annually. Let's be relative with the way we think.

Likewise I saw people thinking that the man selling roasted corn in London had struck gold by selling one for £1. Converting the money into naira is a fairy tale. A bottle of coke there is about £2. Imagine selling one cob of corn for £1 and buying a bottle of coke for £2! It's like garbage in, garbage out.

Based on the values copied from Wikipedia below,in 1979, $1=60k, therefore #50,000 then in 1979=$83333.
Let's convert the $83333 back to naira in 2024 when $1=#1235 based on the table, $83333=#103 million. So #50000 then and #103 million today are equal!!! Cutting it down further, #5 in 1979 and #10000 today have the same purchasing strength.
The politicians had really mismanaged the economy of this country. All the economic problems Nigeria is having today were caused by mismanagement of the country resources both by the military and the politicians
RomanceRe: I Like A Lady, But She Is Always Asking Money From Me. What Should I Do? by lekonso: 2:02pm On Jun 27, 2024
Next time she ask for money, don't give her. Tell her you are broke and watch her reaction. You need to test her, to know her real attitude. If she vex, let her go for good. Because if you marry this kind woman, that loves money more than anything else, the house will be constantly on fire, anytime you don't have money to give her

Kingdavid579:
How will they pay salaries wey their boss instructs them to do so since they cannot enter into the office?

I Like my man, Wike, the greatest politician of all time.

An agreement is an agreement.

If Wike promises to deliver development and sound leadership, he will keep his promise.

Let's keep ours too.

He has done his part; if the deal was to honor him after installing him as governor, then he must be honored.

A deal is a deal.

As it stands, FABURA won't go far in politics because he can't even maintain a good relationship with his boss.
Do you have sense at all, did wike had good relationships with his former bosses, Amechi and Odili. Wike is wicked, why is he doing this to his home state
PoliticsRe: Gov Fubara Orders Newly Sworn In Chairmen To Pay All Outstanding Salaries by lekonso: 8:35pm On Jun 19, 2024
[quote author=Bonaventura post=130560886]Historically, prisoners on death row are fed fat espacially few days or weeks to their execution.

It is always more pleasant to shoot or behead a fatty and plump person.

That's why the coldhearted governor is advising that the old chairmen and councillors are 'fed fat' as they head to the gallows.

WIKE thinks he has a monopoly of power and violence.

Most times, it's good to take your time and serve revenge, had he joined in WIKE's frenzy earlier on, it'd have been him loosing.

I'm sure WIKE by now would be preparing himself to use the judiciary as usual, they are always in his pocket, but then, even the judiciary in the corruption would want to be corrupted by a winning man and not the man with a toady voice who sees nothing beyond politics.

Fun fact: Do you know that Rivers governors contributed hugely to the mess that Nigeria is presently?

First, it was Amaechi and his Nigerian Governors Forum Cohort alongside Atiku making sure Jonathan lost the 2015 election and foisting Buhari on us.

2023,it was WIKE first making sure Peter Obi didn't get the PDP ticket, and supervising the worst rigging in the history of Nigeria only rivaled by the Liberian Presidential Elections of 1927.

The outcome : Tinubu

[/quote
This man, stop mentioning Jonathan name, he was a big failure. He himself contributed largely to the problems we have today. Tell me just one thing Jonathan did that you can remember him for, in his six years he spent as president. The sale of DISCOS we would have remembered him for, he didn't do it well.

So they don't have right to support anybody again in this country?

You Yorubas are really something else
The igbos started unprecedented hatred for the Yorubas after the presidential election. You people thought that Obi won the presidential election in Lagos by the support of the igbos alone. Some Yorubas actually voted for Obi in Lagos and Ogun states that i know. But with the level of hatred the igbos had developed towards the Yorubas after the presidential election, Obi can never see that kind of support again in any election in the south west

CrimeRe: Why Corruption Is Defeatable In Nigeria — EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede by lekonso: 1:42pm On Jun 17, 2024
jumpandpas:
grin

Corruption is defeatable but a man who graduated from a school 4 years before the school was founded cannot defeat corruption.

A drug lord who escaped prison by paying over $400k cannot defeat corruption.

A man with dual citizenship cannot defeat corruption.

A man used bullion Vans to launder money cannot defeat corruption.

If you want to defeat corruption ask Tinubu to mention any teacher that taught him economics in secondary. Start from there.
I sincerely pray that God gives you your biafra and leave the corporate Nigeria. Your hatred for other tribes of the nation is unprecedented. You cannot rule on the tribes you hate so much.
FamilyRe: My Younger Brother Seems To Hate Me! by lekonso: 9:21pm On Jun 16, 2024
You don't give value to someone who doesn't ask or value what you are giving to him or her. I'm sure he never ask you for anything, you are the one dishing out value to him. You did something valuable to someone, he never calls you to show appreciation, yet you keep dishing out more and more, he will take you for granted and that is what is happening now. So withdraw every financial assistance and stop calling him if he doesn't call you. You don't value whoever does not have any value for you

Probably the father is one of the few privileged Nigerians that retired from govt establishment and stole millions from govt coffers.

Absolute majority of Nigerians have chosen to suffer today to enjoy later.
Jagaban's reforms will take shape by February, 2027.
We can't afford for him to wait till then to buy a Renewed Presidential Jet to fly his Renewed Hope agenda closer to the masses.
Stop being bitter.

Without equal sacrifices coming from the leaders too, Nigeria is going nowhere. They are the ones that spend a big chunk of the nation's income.

Anyway that's the beginning of the end for the PDP. Fubara himself is another foolish man. You have no political base and you are calling yourself a governor. You don't have PDP nec, you don't even have the state party structure, the opposition are not for you, instead of him to build one,he chooses to be making noise throwing tantrums here and there

Honestly with Atiku's long years of experience in politics, he is a big disappointment. He just has money to spend, he doesn't have Nigerian kind of political sense at all. He doesn't know how to play Nigerian type of politics
