Don't be ridiculous. Basic human rights aren't conditional rewards for political loyalty. Access to water is a fundamental necessity, not a partisan favor.

They don't owe him even after 20 years of being their helper and he has equally told them that he doesn't owe them too. What's so difficult for you to understand? If he's not good enough for them, may be they too don't deserve his generosity.

Your mental gymnastics are unimpressive, and more importantly, they do not help your case here in the slightest.

Life is all about give and take dear friend. At least, he's not their government or representative now

SocialJustice:
Anybody that is able to raise the funds to leave is a rich person.

Rich my ass. Do you even know anything about the sponsors parole at all? Some would take loans and community money and so on

The details do not concern me.

What a closed mindset!

ecolime:
This is a very dumb news

If you can pay for expensive Airfares, school fees, upfront house rents, insurance, etc. then passport fee increment is definitely not a problem.

Raising money by milking the populace anyhow possible is the main motivation for the increase and has nothing to do with stopping of Japa.

Instead of us to critic crazy extortionists policies, we always choose to discuss unnecessary distractions.

It is not a dumb news if you add up all these increments and not treat passport price increment in isolation

SocialJustice:
Passport na less, besides it is rich people that are leaving Nigeria.

Na poor people plenty pass! Don't be deceived by how they are being able to raise millions of naira for the processing

vanbonattel:
Your cup of kunu

We have never survived on loans and grants, we will pay our fees and graduate with top honours.

Choke on your beggerly loans.

Your brothers are the biggest beneficiaries of Jaiz Bank (Islamic bank) loans, dey here and be advertising your ignorance to the world

vanbonattel:
Hahahah

Do you know why I am laughing? Because water will always find its level. If you like, quickly disburse the loan to other regions and start crying that SE didn't send to protect yourself from blame, na you sabi.

Unity schools entrance qualification was set so high for the south east, maybe its because the SE refused to apply for reduction.

UNN is almost abandoned by FG because of where it is

But you know what, check the number of graduates every year, especially high scoring ones and tell me who makes the highest list, despite all.

WATER WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS LEVEL.

Mr Water Level, why don't you call on south east universities VCs to challenge NELFUND administrators publicly on this allegation? Mtcheeew!!

DeOTR:
You're making it seems everyone there voted for his opponent.

The basic message is that majority of the voters rejected him. There's no argument about that, simple as ABC.

We don't have the details of the results, but I don't think he should expect every living soul that's qualified to vote to cast the ballot in his favor because he built boreholes?

And this is what we're trying to tell you guys, it is all about individuals right to do what they like. He can't force them to vote for him if they don't trust him enough to represent their interests even after helping them for 20 years and they too can't stop him from taking what he gave them if he thinks that they don't deserve it. Neither party should cry, they're all making their choices within the ambit of law

JessicaRabbit:
It's very disturbing that you're all too willing to completely neglect the human cost of political vendetta here just to make a flat point about "not selling your votes". I don't know if you're aware, but just in case, I'll clue you in anyway: In a proper democracy, the voting public do NOT deserve to be treated like pawns in a game of political patronage.

Are you seriously making the argument that water, a basic human right, is now a luxury for those who dared to exercise their democratic franchise? Seriously? So what about those who actually cast their votes for this entitled piece of shit politician? You think they too are complicit in their own disenfranchisement? You think they don't deserve good things because this guy lost? It's odd that you can easily condone this egregious display of political narcissism.

Water from who? From their government or the one they trusted enough to give their majority votes to or from the private individual gentleman they rejected at the ballot after 20 years of him identifying with them? They let him down, he owes them nothing. Now, they have the government and their own representative. Let's stop this emotional blackmail, every choice and decision has consequences.

That man is NOT the sole arbiter of progress, and by that logic, his constituents can not merely just be seen as beneficiaries of his so-called magnanimity. He is just another example of the paternalistic tendencies that plague African politics, where the leaders foolishly believe that their personal interests are synonymous with the public good.

Africa definitely has a long way to go.

Too much English my friend, no emotional blackmail.
They made it clear that they didn't owe him and he equally made it clear that he doesn't owe them.

Lionnation:
the difference is that he very sick and at the point of death,

Every Nigerian who is sick and at point of death deserves the same treatment.

he also served as the most senor level in the NPF they should help him with government money

You and I know that's most unlikely. His best bet is Nigerians on social media or a rich individual

11Monkeys:
What is the genesis of the problem? Can anybody put me in the know?

BeigJawnson:
It all started on X where a south African guy ordered bolt ride in his country from Nigeria

Before that, I think one small girl from SA wey Davido introduced to the public unfollowed many Nigerians and Davido too on X. So, Nigerians decide to unfollow her massively. Na so one guy from SA decide to take it further by ordering rider in Nigeria to a fake location in Nigeria and later came online to yarn about it. Na so d madness started.

marv1:
And what happened. ??

Complete the story na.

Above is what I saw on tiktok

More like it

Lionnation:
Y what happens to the Lagos State government and federal government that he served

What makes him different than others who equally served Nigeria?

Operation that cost 6 million naira in Nigeria before!

Alphastrong:
I thought their complain was based on the last general election, I would have said they're talking rubbish but in the case of appointing with nepotism....if true, then the man left a bad antecedent.

All the governors who were declared as winners by INEC were retained by the supreme court judges irrespective of whether they were removed by the lower courts (tribunal and appeal courts) or not. That was weird and unprecedented

Worst ever where the corrupt Onnoghen dey? The CJN wey get billions of naira in accounts and claimed together be a rice importer

uuzba:
I think this same lady said she has "fathered" 2 children with 2 other women.
1 child is a boy and one is a girl. I'm not sure, but she said one of the kids has this problem also.
-
She used to date guys. But once guys see that her thing, they run away, or blackmail her for money.
That's why she just opened up herself live, so nobody will come and blackmail her again.

She did well by coming out, it is not an easy thing to do. Having fathered kids means that his male organs are well developed, dominant.

cunny88:
Someone that has fathered two babies

Your comment is still within my postulation. Congrats to him. That means his female reproductive organs can't do the job

Melagros:
You can see why I said that sometimes we are the cause of our problem, are the two stories not synonymous?

Some commentators didn't digest the thread the way you do, they were just posting out of context

Don't mind them. They are looking at the reaction not minding the action that caused the reaction. 20 years and you still betrayed him! Why?

DeOTR:
I still don't think people should engage in charities with the hope of getting repaid in any form later in the future.
I know many people voted for him in the constituency, but not just enough to win the election. He only disappointed his supporters in the area and ended up losing the little goodwill he has.
If the winner plays his game well, this loser's political career officially over.

I don't think he's coming back anyway knowing fully well the kind of people he had been with and helped for over 20 years. I only hope that the one they sold their votes to really remembers them and their needs because they have made their choice

Firebomber:
Smile so your Hamas went into hiding and leave his land to be destroyed by his enemy, what a joke of the so called freedom fighters 😂 😂 😂

Because they're like a niddle in haystack, right? IDF are still looking for Hamas after almost a year of maximum destruction and genocide. Israel is a joke

Lalami3232:
After all these 4yrs of adverse suffering, you go think say the citizens go don get sense by 2027. But you will be so surprised to hear dem say "we must rule our own 8yrs oooooo".
You go think say dem don get sense, but na lie. The average Nigerian is ready to suffer provided the man in power is from his tribe or religion. Laslas, dem go tell you say "pray for the government and stop criticizing it" .
Abeg jare, we deserve the award of "most f00lish citizens worldwide ". But Guinness book of records is still holding back our award.
What do I know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

I don't think many people or adequate number of voters will be in that category this time around. But candidate like Obi is equally in the same class because majority of his votes came from his own region

CyrusVI:
I feel that The FG should give some explanations to why these things are like this

I know its a very big project that looks really promising, but FG should try carry us all along, so that naysayers can be on same page with us

PBAT!!!
Forward Ever

You are yet to wake up to today's reality that Tinubu is leading this country on a path to self destruct. I voted for him but not to make life unbearable for the citizens. This old man just purchased 150 billion naira refurbished old jet for himself despite his austerity measures.
Governance shouldn't be about making the citizens miserable

Firebomber:
Where is Hamas please?

Israel are still looking for them after levelling the entire Gaza. A joke of a nation

MadamVanessa:



Mind game.
Believe this at your own detriment.

Israel continued to wax stronger and stronger even in the midst of adversaries. Head slammer terrorists have tried all they could to quench Israel for years now, but Israel is still standing strong more than them. Israel unapologetically dealt with bastard terrorists in the language they understood and letting the bastards know that nobody, or groups have monopoly of violence.

Israel can't wax stronger without steady flow of bombs, other weapons and billions of dollars from USA. Two carriers are already on standby in case Iran decide to retaliate. Israel is nothing without his big bully brother

Ennyjude:
Nawa ooo. Everything is now shown to the public

She said we're all adults. I think she's done hiding herself

CyrusVI:
She has a bigger breast than an average woman

She's prolly bisexual. Imagine marrying her and seeing her cheat on you, only to bring home the lady she impregnated.

Your wife would be the mother of your kids and a father to other kids

She'd attend Fathers and mothers meeting in any gathering, cause she biologically belong to both groups

She would be lucky if one of the two organs is efficient enough to cause reproduction. At least, one of them would be underdeveloped for reproduction

Melagros:
Thank God that you witnessed this, if you tell someone who has never came across this news he'll dispute the story

And the person the community choose forgot them immediately after the election . That means one thing, that he didn't have their interest at heart, he didn't care about them because he has no that bond with them. They probably voted for him because he provided more cash for the votes. Otherwise, he would have paid for the connection or outright replacement of the transformer.
Masses and poor people should know their friends, people who stand by them for a very long time. Being there for people for 20 years is not a small commitment!

AllTheWayUp:
Even Other Arab nations are busy making jest of Iran on social media everyday.
Iran should Fuuuck Around and Find Out (FAFO).
Isreal is still testing the mic on Hezoballah jihadists since beginning of this week by increasing the number of missile strikes on Hezoballah targets across Lebanon, they even killed an Iranian Quad Commander in Lebanon today,
Nothing Iran can do about that.

They're all cowards and lilly livered, their territory are US playground. See how all of them burry their heads in the ground like they don't see how Israel with the help of USA has almost wiped out Palestinians. The only nation with balls in that axis is Iran

Botragelad:
It's been weeks since Iran has been rattling about retaliating against Israel, but we've yet to see any tangible action.

Likely scared of facing severe repercussions. Well, this aircraft carrier is now in place to keep Iran and any other terrorist organisations in order.
FA ⏭️ FO

Retaliation from the mighty USA, right? . Israel shouldn't bite more than she can chew because USA can't protect her against her Russian retaliation

But he would never react to IPOB killings in the south east nor condemn their killing spree of the policemen

Judolisco:
lol... It happened when I was serving in Ekiti.... D man bought a transformer for d community, community no vote for am... D man refused to pay for d connection.. Throughout my stay in dat community iswr no light....

Personally, I think they deserve it. What do you think? The man was even supposed to remove the transformer and gave it to another community.
BTW: why didn't the person they preferred and voted for pay for the connection or replaced the transformer throughout your stay in the community? You see what we're talking about here, I meant those of us who feel for the man in this report?

nedekid:
Abi ohh. If they don't consider him to represent them despite his goodwill, they should get such benefits from his opponents.
Just as that maduka Dr gentleman from the US that wanted to serve his people after years of providing for them, from hospitals to houses, roads, stippends to widows, scholarships etc, yet they rejected him for other misfits. Kukuma leave them to their misery and focus on family.

I don't know why poor communities usually fail to identify with people who have got their backs for many years when such people need their support to represent them and their interests with the government, knowing fully well that such people have committed to their wellbeing for many years. They would simply go for candidates that they can't point to anything tangible such candidates did for them in their trying times. Who wouldn't feel disappointed?
