That's right, there are poor household everywhere, but that's not the same thing as when people think vaguely that "nepa go cease light" for Europe, its very funny when you ear people in Nigeria talking like that. And I am not downplay it. I gave an example with myself. And I live here and know how people shout if the cost of things increase by even €2. So someone in Africa will see it and think people here are suffering

maasoap:
I don't think Europeans will freeze but reduce the level at which you downplay everything. Even without Russia/Ukraine war, we knew that some households even in USA sometimes found it difficult to afford warming their house properly due financial constraints

So many jokers in here, people wey never smell western world. You look really silly when you speak about what you don't know. Let me burst your bubble, when you see people complaining in Europe about increase in energy bills, it's actually a scratch on their pay check. With all the noise and protests you hear and see on the news, nothing dey happen o. Like for me, the difference in my weekly fuel expenditure between February (when the war started) and today is just €5. And for a white dude, this €5 increase na extremely big deal. Not because they can't afford it, but they react extremely to the slightest inconvenience.
So, for those of you shining big teeth hoping that Europe will freeze this winter, if you think one home in Europe will go dark due to power outage for even a moment, the joke is on you o bros.

This papa has no shame. Wike was a child when you were in govt and formed pdp. Do you want to die in leadership? Papa since 1992 you have been there and shame no dey your mouth say you still dey drag leadership with the children of yesterday.

No wonder there is problem in Nigeria

Damn you are really aggressive and bitter. And I am going to help you keep this pain up throughout your day. Now common reply me

EmperorHadrain:
See this slave

My ancestors sold your fathers for whiskey money

Osu

I am officially your nightmare

EmperorHadrain:
Osu

I feel your pain seun, I feel your pain. Look on the bright side.. if its any consolation, this is election/ pay season. Atiku will write you some check. Stop crying

EmperorHadrain:
Osu

Ouch! I think I struck a nerve on this guy. You seem really pained this morning. Who did this to you ? Cos if you think deeply and scan your subconscious, you will see that I'm not the source of your frustration. Maybe you got dumped, poverty, midlife crisis etc, but not me. I certainly didn't do this to you. Lol dude thinks I am ibo .

EmperorHadrain:
See this osu that is claiming jew

You slave fool with no heritage or culture.

I can't wait for your biafra or death march to resume.

Osu

Mumu like you. He is entitled to his opinion and so am I entitled to mine regarding anyone including him and yourself. And my opinion of you is that you are a depressed bitter soul. Don't be too hard on yourself mate.

EmperorHadrain:
He is entitled to his opinion and choice and has every right to air it.

This is not your useless herd mentality Biafra where you all have a mob mentality .

The sooner you come to accept that not everyone reasons from their anus like you fools the better off you will be.

Osu

So is it this guy that runs nairaland or am I missing something? Is he that slow? Reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg... being tech savvy doesn't always translate to other aspects of human endeavour.

Please OP, show me what Atiku said about Deborah Samuel

Mr man you are too daft. The solution to our economic problem is known to everyone, and Obi has been saying it since. CUT THE UNNECESSARY HIGH COST of governance and use the money to supply the people's needs. And he is an embodiment of what he preaches. Have you seen the unnecessary entourage that Atiku and Tinubu travels with? Who will fuel and host them? That is how corruption starts before government starts even before they are elected. Did you see Obi at the Olu of Warri Palace...? He was there alone with no entourage. That is the man who is living the solution for you to see and you are there like mumu asking him to tell you what he is showing you every day.

Realist12:
I said it, Shettima is a very intelligent person and he was presented to showcase his intellectual qualities to the south . I weep for the social media youths who ignored all the important points he made and started trending his outfit, yet those are the ones supporting Obi saying Obi is intelligent. You can't compare this speech with Obi.
One important point I'd pick from his speech is Tinubu understands the Nigerian psychology , and we all can see how he used his knowledge to turn around Lagos and make economical and political progress for all.


All Obi did is just highlight the problems of the country , we didn't hear his track records and what he did in Anambra. I lol when he mentioned articulate for someone who literally said 10% instead of 10 minutes few seconds ago .
God help us . Obi completely went off point from the topic . But his zombies won't see that .

Obi vs Atiku
As the REAL campaign season draws closer, its becoming evident that the election is a battle between Obi vs Atiku.

The issue of Problem vs Solution
Going by their brief speeches at the NBA, some think Obi is unprepared because he talks more about the problem, and they think Atiku is more prepared because he spoke on the solutions. I think such people have not heard Obi speak... if you think a man as articulate as Obi when analysing Nigeria's problems, and who dishes out figures off hand is naive about what solutions to proffer, the joke is on you. Suffice to say that from Obi's cognitive proness no one needs to doubt that he is aware that he hasn't given the solutions yet

There is a place and time for giving the solutions to Nigeria's problems, it is called the campaign and presidential debate. Please understand that a 5mins talk at NBA, or pressure from Seun at Channels TV is not the place and time for giving the solutions. The campaign has not started. It is when campaigns start that Obi will tell you what solutions he is cooking. The Pesidential debate is designed for telling Nigerians how they will solve the problems. So all these people insulting Obi as not prepared are too naive.

If you believe a man who travelled to Egypt to see 1st hand what solutions they used in solving their power problem doesn't know the solution by now, then you don't understand what the phrase "step by step" means.

So if your problem na speech, don't worry Obi dey come, Atiku will not even agree to come to the presidential debate to face Obi, but it is good that people are hyping him now, at least he will begin to have some confidence that will lure him to the debate, na for there Obi go trash am

But beyond debates and articulate speech Atiku is laced with corruption, while Obi has not one rumour of corruption trailing him. This is what we should consider mostly, because Nigerians are intelligent, they mostly know how to solve problems, they just don't have the will and are easily overwhelmed by greed.

Sai Obi

The question is... where was Gbajabiamlia when OBJ was head of State. The man wan play mind game with OBJ. If he was smart he would have let the photographs of OBJ smiling with Tinubu speak, and let people guess what they discussed. Him coming out to speak was just what OBJ needed to shade their boss Tinubu. Sometimes silence is gold

Get a grip on yourself mate, yesterday's talk is over

budaatum:
Yes. E shock me. I would have thought you'd apply logic and reason but I now get to wonder why.

A wealth creator is a vague word. He could have used kajo kajo means to create the wealth, like taxing the hell out of Lagosians.

On the other hand, when Peter Obi says moving from consumption to production, that is the real wealth creation

AJ vs Wilder will sell more than Fury vs Usyk

backbone503:
At this point, I'd like to see AJ vs Wilder

For everyone saying AJ did not throw much follow up punches, doing so would have made him fatigue much faster, plus at that point you need to be careful when fighting someone as sleek as Usyk otherwise na ground you go see yourself. So his approach was the best.

Pls understand that AJ is not a natural boxer in terms of genetics. He built his skill through practice, but Usyk has it in his blood, so AJ has nothing to be ashamed of.

Left for me, I think his stock moved up tonight cos he fought better than the previous fight, and showed that he got Chin.

I want to see AJ vs Wilder

Okay o, now you can sit in silence until the day you rid of me naw

tctrills:
No need of that yet we would clap when we rid Nigeria of tribalist like you.

Yes I made you an Obi supporter I take credit for it. E shoke you ?

Really ....? No I don't know that there is a record of one's posts on nairaland kiddo, tell me something new

budaatum:
Sounds like you want to take credit for what you never sowed.

You do know that there is a record of one's posts on NL?

The point is that you should oya clap for yourself

tctrills:
The point is that you should be ashamed of your tribalism.

Okay clap for yourself

tctrills:
The Nigerian constitution does not include power sharing so clearly, you don't understand the meaning of patriotism. Power sharing has never been an element of patriotism. Again, the people of Kastina rejecting your APC does not make them unpatrotic. You are the educated one here you should know better.

Now that I have made you an Obi convert that's great. I will appeal and lament it doesn't bother me, its my nature, na you go tire

And by all means call me out on something childish as wrong spelling, it only tells me you are a child. Wrong spelling is not a bother to me, but i see it excites you to point out. So by all means knock yourself out with your new found joy

budaatum:
Please appeal, instead of lamenting your choice.

And if your "shoke Tinubu" means anything like shock, I am at least speaking for your "Yoruba man, born and breed in LAGOS for the 1st 35 years of his life before travelling out" when I say be Obidient.

You are not well o. This issue of unpatriotic is context based. The context here is regards power sharing. And I did not call out the north only. I also called out my fellow Southerners in the west who have ruled through OBJ for 8years so what rubbish are you spewing? If I called out my own region as well, doesn't that make me a balanced analyst, what else are you looking for? Or you want me not to call out people because everyone is doing the bad thing.

tctrills:
It's immoral for a southerner to accuse the north of being unpatriotic when within themselves, they don't practice your so called equity. The north has never been your problem. Go and figure out your problem Mr tribalist.

Too long is not an excuse not to read. Its just the reason why people fail in life. And if you think that small piece is long, it's really unfortunate for you o

tctrills:
As for your post, It actually too long. You could have made your point in just 2 lines.

Your problem is lack of education. You asked me a question. You asked if I believe that there should be equity in the south and I referred you empathically to the original write up and here you are again deviating from the question you asked. If I were you I will apologise for not seeing it before foolishly asking. It doesn't make you less of a man. It will make me respect you more. That's what it means to be a man. The question of asking Tinubu to do anything is a different issue. Own up first to the question you asked which I answered before asking another one. Stop being sentimental

tctrills:
Who are you to ask Tinubu to do anything? My point is don't blame the north. The south does not believe in equity so let's not pretend that the north did anything to you. The people of Kastina are just like the people of Osun state that would vote Tinubu.

I beg you in the name of God, GO AND READ THE POST AGAIN. All this one you are killing yourself and failing exam here is because you don't read before commenting, haba.
In the post, I ask Tinubu to step down for Obi FOR SAKE OF EQUITYYYYYY. Go and read before coming here. Just read sir, its not too long

tctrills:
Again sir, do you believe in equity within the southern tribes or your equity is only North to the south? Because if you are truly for equity, A Yoruba man should not represent the south. We have already had an 8 years Yoruba president. So the Kastina people are right in burning APC broom. They understand equity more than you do.

That's why I think you are drunk and need to sleep. Now you are deviating from the point. I know he merge all of us including the NORTH. So if you believe that why are you contradicting yourself by saying you don't believe in the justice of equity abi he join all of us for one to become ruler over the others. If I talk naw you go say I dey insult you

tctrills:
The same Lord Lugard merged the Igbo, Yoruba andIjaw. Stop acting as if the south is one tribe.

Yes o my guy. They will vote for whoever they want. And it is also democratic for me to appeal to people to vote for a certain candidate as long as I don't put a gun to their head. Abi in your dictionary people cannot ask others to vote for someone again.

And by the way, you don't speak for the Yoruba nation o. You speak for yourself. You don't even speak for all members of your family You know how I know this, cos my friend here is a Yoruba man, born and breed in LAGOS for the 1st 35 years of his life before travelling out, and guess what? He carry Obi Vawrulence for head o oga. I know many Yourbas who are waiting to shoke Tinubu.

budaatum:
They will vote for whomever they want! That is the definition of democracy.

If we Yorubas had a majority in Nigeria we would not let anyone else rule but a Yoruba person unless we rule badly and have had enough of ourselves. Thankfully some Northerners have had enough of themselves.

My dear I said go and sleep not to slight you but because your argument was contradicting itself (at least in my opinion)

And if you say it does not matter to you if one region thinks they should always produce the president in a construct like naija that is still evolving that is fine. But me I say it matters to me, and I say its unpatriotic because we are not the same people we don't have the same ancestry. I am a southerner from the rain forest and you are a fulani (I assume, not sure) from the Sahel savanna. And it was Lord Lugard that merged us. This is the origin and the legs on which we can only live together is through equity. But unfortunately you don't believe that equity is justice, you think as long as one has more population that the other it can use democracy to hold on forever. Guy, we are not the same people so no vex if I find your line of argument boring and ask you to go and sleep

tctrills:
It does not matter if one region thinks power is their God-given natural resource as long as they are democratic about it. I don't believe that equity is justice. If the northerners are united, why shouldn't they vote for the candidate of their choice what is unpatriotic about it?

Again southern Nigeria is not one Unit. There is no special benefit to the Igo man if a Yoruba is president nor is there a special benefit to the Yoruba if an Igbo is a president. If you are serious about equity, you would be calling for an Igbo, Kanuri, Urhobo, or Tiv president. If true equity must be applied, then the southern presidency is bullshit. We would rather look for tribes that are yet to rule.

One more thing, whenever one starts making statements like ' go and sleep' its always because he is losing the broader argument.

You say Tinubu will never step down and you made your argument. I urged Tinubu to step down and I made my argument. I nor hate any group for naija o. I just write my post jeje without sentiment in putting forth my argument. So let Nigerians read my post and yours with our arguments and decide for them selves abi? End of story

HeavenVGate:
Tinubu will never step down for anybody. We don't care if north hold on to the power. I was expecting to vote OBi because I expected southerners in the PDP to make OBi their presidential candidate but OBi defected to other party instead of him to stay in PDP and fight with his last blood to make sure either him or another southerners become the flag bearer. That's the reason why WIKE still mad at them till now. I will never vote OBi, it's too risky, he can never win presidential election I'm 100% sure, I can bet any amount on it. Had it been southerners are the flag bearers of Both APC & PDP, Northerners have a choice? No! No other party have 20% structure both APC & PDP had. I'm mad at us we SOUTHERNERS because I hate North like***

Oh! I didn't know they said they will still vote for another Southern cos I didn't see were they said or insinuated that. And while I appreciate that they burnt the APC broom, it will be foolish of us Obi supporters to assume that they will automatically vote Labour Party. Until we see them saying sai Obi while burning the broom we will raise the alert. Its just smart politicking. But thanks for clarifying

Ayed44:
They are not saying power shouldn't return to the South. What they are saying is that they have rejected APC. They can still vote for a southern candidate in other parties. With all the destruction the APC has brought upon Nigeria, only brain-dead people will vote for APC again to continue with the destruction.

Woooww, thanks for your compliment. For you to think that me from my own corner of the world writing have become a paid writer. You must have considered the post very articulate and succinct for you to think some elite writer was 'paid' to write this. Because you think the average Nigerian cannot write on their own so a good piece must be by a paid writer. Oya make una give me writing job o. Only thing is... I am wondering who you think paid me ? Obi? Because if you had a brain to read you will see that I was calling for tinubu supporters to vote Obi. So you think our Obi who doesn't give shi shi paid me. Wow your mugu strong o.

factcheckmmm:
I love this thread, simple and straight forward..

There's nothing like south and north

Nothing like agreement on that

Thank God for it

You want to claim wise at the expense of others

Or you think North don't know the game

When Akerodolu was running helter skelter saying is the turn of the south, if that same Akerodolu has agree to come table and give it to south east since south east hasn't produce then you can continue saying this

But your masters who paid you to write this rubbish didn't think clear
All of you were trying to play smartness

My dear nothing like south and north all man for himself

The north knows more problem they have with Niger Delta is religion but aside religion Niger Delta will help develop and promote modern way of life
