Laugh at jubilate, but be rest assured that it will soon be time for another people to laugh.

The ultimate goal is for all Nigerians to Laugh irrespective of political affiliation. What I find funny is you downplaying the electoral irregularities in the USA (first world country) while deriding the progress made by INEC (3rd world) thus far.

nnamdi640:
It was not as bad as ours. Beside the incumbent president lost out

😂 ok

IfnobeGod20:
You're the one saying that because I know and others know that Fashola is the best governor Lagos has ever had.
Meanwhile, did you read the reason why Jonathan and Yar'adu denied Lagos the right of way. Just because the right of way has extended to another state. This suppose to be a joint collaboration between Ogun and Lagos. If he has approved that, it would have amounted to giving side to one state against another. Just the same as the oil wells infighting in the south South among states.

But it was the same Jonathan that approved all these for Lagos. Are you aware of these?

And you think the current approval does not extend to ogun state? Pls check the red-line proposed routes.

Cmon why can’t you be stay consistent in thought, you just posited that only a governor without capacity will be unable to perform without alignment with the federal government. My argument is to show you a great example of a governor with capacity in fashola who despite his capacity was unable to build the redline because of non-alignment with the center.

As for the links you posted; there’s no correlation. We know for a fact that approval is not exactly equals to execution. A good example is the many MOUs signed in Anambra state. If the projects were executed when signed Buhari wouldn’t have had to commit resources to doing same.

IfnobeGod20:
What's the meaning of all these junks that doesn't relate to the discourse. What concern FG projects with alignment of state government with FG?
What of 2nd Niger Bridge in Anambra? What of Ogoni clean up?
You guys will never grow because you refused to move out from your enclave. Whether a state align with the centre is inconsequential, it all depends on the capacity of the individual to govern the state.

Okay. Are you implying that fashola lacked the capacity when Jonathan refused approval for red line?

It will consumed all. You hardly hear USA complaining about election malpractice. Since our electorate practice is faulty it is high time inec must get it right if truly they want the country to be a peace. Saying that it fire will only consumed those complaining is not garanty

Did you follow the 2020 US Elections?

IfnobeGod20:
Pls come out plain and stop this illiterate talk. Are you saying because an A state is not in Mr. President party. The entitlements of the A state would not be given to its? The FG would also collect the IGR generated from its. It would also deny its from borrowing to meet development. Remember local borrowing doesn't require any FG assent or national assembly assent, only foreign borrowing.
You even claimed that that's how is being done all over the world. Pls stop this African dirty politics that have not brought growth and development to the continent. No developed society does that. They allow freedom of choice to prevail and not this do or die politics Africa do. Put in perspective what you know and stop saying what you don't know

Stop exposing your ignorance. Why do you think Lagos was able to start the construction of the red railway lines? Or seaport completion or badagry port approval or the Ibadan-Lagos rails? Or even the apapa-oworo express ? Just recently some abandoned federal properties were sold to Lagos after decades. You can do better.

Waterysperm:
Let's choose a middle man here. I don't know if Seun will agree to it. But if not, there are other persons of integrity we can transfer the money to. Remember my bet, Obi will get more votes than Atiku in Kwara state. I dey wait.

Agreed! You can suggest any other active & perhaps reliable member.

Waterysperm:
Obi will get that with ease. He will win the South-south and East which is 11 states. He will get 25% in the 6 Western States. I repeat he will get 25% in all the Southwest states and that brings it up to 17 states. Now add the following states: Plateau, Benue, Nassarawa, Kogi, Niger and Kwara. You may be surprised I added Niger and Kwara. Tinubu will win Kwara but Obi will get 25%. Anybody can bet 50k on this with me. As for Niger state, the Christians there are solidly behind him. I am so sure of what I am saying. Most people don't know that there are about 35% to 40% Christians in Niger state. That is why the Christians there have vowed that any political party that failed to have a Christian deputy will lose the next governorship election. Now add the 17 states of the South and 6 states of the North Central and it will give you 23 states. Now add Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe and Kaduna. That is a total of 27 states.
Bookmark this post for future reference. Obi is the next president of Nigeria.

I am willing to take you up on the bet because I am certain PDP will get more votes than LP in Kwara.

@safarigirl what do you mean by “ MC Oluomo would be proud, every agbero in Lagos would be proud”

Are you implying agbero’s are murderers, brothel-running criminal syndicates with a reputation for drugs dealings? This allusion is totally unfair to the hardworking men & women of the transport unions. I make bold to say that they are more relevant to the economic well-being of Nigerian & Nigerians than most ivory tower workers. We all know the impact if/when they decide to go on strike. Pls respect their labor and stop conflating them with criminals.

Gracias!

The prediction for the election is not yet released that’s why you have a large percentage of undecided voters.

Atiku, Obi, Tinubu yet to break out of strongholds

Atiku, Obi, Tinubu yet to break out of strongholds
Share
BusinessDay’s analysis of Google trends data on search interest show that the three major presidential candidates for the 2023 election have yet to expand beyond their strongholds.

The data were collated from August 28 to September 4, 2022.

Google trend is an essential tool in predicting the outcomes of elections.

In the recent Kenyan presidential election, the average share of search interest for the winner (William Ruto) was 1,329 as against 324 for Raila Odinga, the runner-up.

Similarly, data gleaned from Google trends show that the winner of the Osun State election, Ademola Adeleke, had a far higher average share of search interest than the runner-up, Adeboyega Oyetola.

According to BusinessDay’s analysis of the data, Atiku Abubakar, the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, remains a dominant figure in the North, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress holds sway in the South-West, and Peter Obi of Labour Party is prominent in the South-East and the South-South.

Atiku, Obi, Tinubu yet to break out of strongholds

Tinubu got an average of 20 percent of the search interest across all regions.

On a regional basis, Atiku dominated the North-West and North-East; Obi, the South-South and South-East; and Tinubu, the South-West and North-Central.

Obi’s influence is not as vibrant in the North as it is in the South-East. The average search interest in Obi is highest in Plateau, Nasarawa, and Benue.

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People Party, is struggling to gain influence across all regions. His influence, according to average search interest, is highest in the region where he was once governor: North-West.

Google trend analysis by voting blocs: Northern Alliance, Bible Belt, and the Rockies

The Northern Alliance has the country’s most active voters and comprises 11 northern states (Gombe, Sokoto, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kano, Kebbi, Bauchi, Katsina, Yobe, Borno) and one south-western state (Osun). Their loyalty has been to the PDP.

These states have been dominated by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku, although the presidential candidate of the APC, Tinubu, gained ground in Osun.

Search intrest for Kwankwaso

The Bible Belt, another PDP loyalist bloc, which has the highest number of voters but low voter turnout is made up of 17 states drawn from the South-East, South-South, and eastern North-Central.

Analysis by BusinessDay shows that this loyalty is wavering as the Labour Party presidential candidate, Obi, is dominating across all states in the South-South and South-Eastern region while the North-Central is being controlled by Tinubu.

The Rockies are Nigeria’s most unpredictable voters and the tie-breakers, with the lowest voter turnout of the three blocs. These states include Kaduna, Niger, Kogi, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, and Ekiti, which have been dominated by Tinubu, except Kaduna and Niger, which have been held down by Atiku.

The sum of Percentage for south west, south east & north west exceed 100. I guess there is some error somewhere.

FakeIgboJew:
Well that is what Osinbanjo is now pushing with his debt swap deal .

Blackrock , Vanguard and Main Street (all Rothschild owned) institutional investors are the ones pushing this ESG on the corporate sector that is seeing investments into oil and gas being cut off as well as funding to individual farmers being denied.

The ongoing revolt by Dutch farmers is tied to the satanic WEF policy that wants to see 1 in 3 Dutch cow ranches shut down in spite of a global food crisis.

The World Bank and iMF are now adopting ESG in doling out their so-called relief funds and bailouts.

After borrowing recklessly for nothing to show for it but higher taxes. unprecedented inflation and heavy tariffs on fertilizers while supporting Fulani and BH terrorists to rid the farms of farmers, the Satanic Buhari Fulani Bolshevik APC govt now wants to put a final nail on our coffin by agreeing to ESG agenda .

The first thing to expect is soaring fuel prices that will not only see to prices competing with that of oil starving Europe but even higher due to an imposition of carbon taxes on fossil fuels.

I have never seen a country so full of traitors that will not bat an eye lid before selling their own people to slavery.

Its seems someone needs to remind them that a core part of the ESG is the social aspect, can you have a society without people? If inflation sky rockets and the average person is unable to afford the necessities chaos becomes inevitable.

Our political leaders need to understand that self-interest is the primary interest even when its covered up in fancy names. Your people first Always.

Nigeria have no business whatsoever with any climate change drama. We should focus on our problems and finding solutions only.

Seems Dakuku is scheming to be Min of state for Pet in the next admin.

This one dey pain my head to reason.

Mod no go see this one to push for front page

LOL! Don't hate the player(tinubu), hate the game (politics-interests)but actually you cannot hate the game because the current game(democracy) is the lesser evil.

The collective good itself is the summation of individual preferences which more often than not the God-father represents. This posits that the people deserves their leaders because the leaders represent more often than not the average interests of the people.

Perception

Mccullum:
I live in Lagos, it was very clear that Ambode abandoned all projects of his predecessors, that's facts not fictions.

You’re deviating from your initial assertion. However, can you mention the exact top-priority of projects that were abandoned?

The fact is you claimed the Ambode abandoned the rail and it’s not true. Throughout his tenure work was on-going, if you frequent that axis they were always on site. The pillars you see alongside eko bridge all the way to marina were constructed during his tenure.

Mccullum:
AMBODE DIDN'T TOUCH THIS PROJECT DURING HIS REGIME.

Really? Were you in lagos during ambode’s tenure? Anyone who uses that route often during 2015-2019 will not say such nonsense!

soundOsonic:
Do we actually believe such information from world bank? This made me start thinking. Please read attentively to get educated it's worth it.

My grandfather lived all his life on "less than five dollar per day"- world bank definition of poverty.
But was my grandfather actually poor?
My grandfather owned a large farm, he cultivates yam, cassava, millet, cocoa, beans, groundnut, he has plantain and banana also.

From these produce, he and his family consume them without having to depend on spending money or buying food the excess he sells it and use it to buy one or two things in the house.

He also have a farm where he rare goats (not in large scale) have some few cattles and have a little chicken farm as his side hustle.

When he wants to take juice, he plucks from the mango tree, orange tree, tangerine trees in his compound and takes milk from his cattles to make yoghurt.

He had no need for money because he lives in his own house with 12 children and three wives and have all the products he needs.He trained all his children to school by selling 1 of his cattle each term.

He provided for all his family needs with just less than five dollar a day.
Can you conclude that this man is truly poor?

While a folk in the big city receives $8000 ( a fairly good amount for people living in naija) every year, while he finds it hard to provide meat, juice, foods for his children (4 kids) ontop all this, he doesn't even own a house.

Which of these men are poor? The one who lives on less than 5 Dollars a day, Or the one whose yearly income is $8000?

When the people living in developed world, hear that in Africa people are actually living on less than 5 dollars a day, you see their faces and they will feel bad and will say "Africans are really poor, starved and hungry"
While the man living on 5 dollars a day surprisingly he is living just fine. Many of you here live on 2k daily, that's 60k in a month, are you starved?

The currency in third world countries tends to be disproportionately undervalued in terms of its purchasing power and income.
Meaning earning $5 a day in Nigeria is more like earning $200 a week in the U.S.A.

It still thesame reason people travel abroad, and they believe they will become rich. The truth is they send like 200k to their family every month in Nigeria, and you in Nigeria will think they are rich . In actuality over there they are part of the lower middle class citizen. They are only taking advantage of the economic disparity with these two countries which I explained in the previous paragraph. Someone earning 400k every month here is better than someone earning $3000 every month in the U.S.A. lol someone wants to argue. The Nigeria man here can afford good home and even steady electricity, internet and can build a house in Nigeria, good medicals if he is without wife or kids; while a white man in the U.S.A can't afford a better home than the other or even medicals to treat himself with just $2500, if he sucks he might go into debt. He can't even afford to buy a house not to talkless of owning a truck to live in two lifetime.

Why the long post?
Making use of Western style opulence as a means or standard to measure poverty is not enough.
In Mongolia, you are a poor man if you have less than 200 cattles. Then if we use that in Nigeria. Almost all the people in the south east are poor.

So the question, are we truly the world poverty capital?

( OAM4J, Mynd44 )

Total consumption value is considered when computing that the data. They will value the consumption in dollars.

Well it’s not a public company so their books are not in public domain.

For some reasons perhaps best known to GLO, their services seems fair outside urban areas.
