MrProlific95:
The masses are been pushed beyond the wall. President Tinubu should not allow this anger fester and pour into the streets. His political enemies may take hold of it to push for a change of government.

The President is losing supporters daily.

Hunger is already dealing with his people, hence they're the Ebin pawa crooners. They and the northerners who support him are free to protest. No protests in SE and SS. These regions would be the umpires in the coming saga.

This is how you know a government with no clue on what to do next. Tighten your seat belts folks. This is a rough flight. As you see, they're more interested in propaganda than producing results. If it didn't dey it didn't dey. Grab it and run with it, so?

What bode George is saying is deep

He means that the hugely discounted Foreign Exchange FG gave to banks to help drive National investment
and Production for decades was sold to Mallams in the Black Market Rate and the profits pocketed by Bankers
making them stupendously wealthy instead of the money being used to build Nigerian Manufacturing and driving National Industrial Development

Nigeria would have had a betting result if it had given the money to Serious Nigerian or even Lebanese Industrialists based in Nigeria because
they would have actually built the Industrial Infrastructure and industrries Nigeria needed

Black man. You'll always find a way to circumvent the fact because of your instability and unwillingness to face the truth. Even if they give you trillions of dollars, you'd still accomplish nothing. Is it not the same country where multinationals are closing shop or another? There is no place on earth where industrialization took place without a political will. Whether Japan or Singapore, China or Hong Malaysia, a country without sound leaders and incapable of creating basic drivers like regular electricity and security will keep moving in circles. Let's not even talk about corruption in high places. Until Nigerians understand that the country is just a cash cow where ethnicities bicker for their share of the cake, no progress will be made. You've already wasted more than half a century doing the same thing without making progress and still don't understand. Until you guys sit down and understand that as presently constituted, this is a country of strange bed fellow with different purpose. Ask yourself why you cannot undo what the colonialists did if it hasn't favored you for nearly a century. If bankers have been diverting funds, why have you not been able to check them if not political incompetence and dysfunctional system? The fact remains that outflows move through the orifices of least resistance and Nigeria's problem is mostly political leadership. The day that is fixed, the lines would naturally fall unto pleasant places. Until then, alooters continua.

Before the destr0yers grabbed power, it was 200 naira. Last time i bought it about a week ago, it was 1400 naira. Am I in Nigeria or Venezuela?

Goodnewsforlife:
so u are telling us here that this bread was 200 naira 9 months ago

Ur insincerity is what is making people not to vote for anyone from your tribe

For the dummies quoting me, the destroyers grabbed and ran with power in 2015 till date.

TopBanter:


Lol. Ebi n pa mi gidi gan. Happy now? Per Buhari, we know those who rate a man who has totally changed the security dynamics of Nigeria, to the extent non-Nigerians are in our nation killing our people with ease, above Tinubu who has been in power for 9 months.

Nothing you irredeemable haters will not say, and no lie you will not tell, to try and oust Tinubu for your failed "Yes Daddy" messiah.

Only god-forsaken haters will deny what Afenifere alleges below in attempt to whitewash the image of Buhari, who damaged Nigeria almost irreparably for 8 years, to then claim Tinubu, just 9 months in power, is "worse".

These are the realities that show you people are not interested in the progress and wellbeing of Nigeria. All you want is your own, that we all know is super worthless and ultra-incompetent, becoming President.



https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/afenifere-has-no-regrets-supporting-tinubu-to-be-president-secretary/%3famp

At least you agree that the contest is now who is worse between the two airheads you foisted on Nigeria. We're making progress. Though I doubt you'll ever wake up from your reverie of expertise in the denial of reality.

Malroux:
Chai. My only pain is that Nigeria missed good opportunity to be in the league of developed countries. Peter Obi a lost opportunity but we the sane Nigerians believes it is never too late to rectify our massive mistake.

There is no chance of rectifying anything because the rot is deep. Mahmood would still rig for APC in 2023. The only chance at the moment is what everyone knows - a full revolution to cleanse the dirty system and support competent people as presidents. The country is going downhill since the days of Obasanjo and the reason is the dirty constitution that doesn't support competence but stupid quota that brings out the dregs of the society to rule. To uppend the system needs collective effort and this collective suffering may just do it since hunger doesn't know tribe nor religion.

Prigidypogodo:
Even most African knows that Obi was the best candidate.

They also know he was rigged out. What I like about the man is that to him, power isn't do-or-die. The man just cares, cares for the masses, unlike a typical Nigerian politician.

TopBanter:



Don’t mind them. Those attacking the “Zoo” yesterday and demanding Biafra are today masquerading as patriotic Nigerians because they think Obi will somehow become President if Tinubu is ousted.

The haters and cowards who could not insist on Buhari’s ousting, over 8 long years, should simply spare us the noise and attack Aso Rock if dem born them well.

They will show us whether a democratically elected President has ever been bounced out of office after 9 months and why Tinubu deserves to be first that will happen to.

But there's a consensus that even as clueless as he was, Buhari is head and shoulders above your god in terms of performance. Even you typing, I wonder if you've eaten and how you manage with 30k/month zombie work?

onez:
There is no sugarcoating the reality. The economy has gotten out of hand. The corrupt fools have no clue of what to do. Any action they take worsens it. The masses only have option now. People should leave their offices and shops and march to Abuja and sack Tinubu immediately.

Na person wey don chop belle full dey march. Nigerians are busy searching for scarce food because next 6 months may be famine of food and water.

Conman with another rubbish trash. Billions of people have departed and will still depart and will not follow your trash Jesus. Na only you sabi who go make heaven? Stop your nonsense trash. The majority or people on Earth don't even believe in your Jesus nonsense.

You're the one in the dark but think you see.

Alexis11:


Few months to next election they will display more love for the country by singing national anthem and holding Nigerian flags while campaigning for their Messiah again.

At least, it's been confirmed that he is a messiah to some people. You'd prefer a killer to a messiah but the bad news is that you want everyone to die with you because your life is worthless. Isn't it so? Your so-called love for Nigeria is actually hatred based on greed and nothing more. I never see a people who love their country but wish it destroyed by incompetence. I'm sure you'd have true love if Nigeria never existed and your country were your tribe. All you hypocrites chant and parrot Nigeria love because you're too lazy to exist without her freebies.

Catapault:


Roughly 70,000 Americans are shot dead each year by their fellow Americans.

Equivalent to 1,000 Boko Haram groups operating all at once.

Americans don't see the solution as ''Let's break up the country, let everybody answer his father's name'', like you bush, ignorant, tribalistic illiterates desperate to become the next South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Burkina Faso western-aid dependent banana republic out of sheer ethnic hatred for your fellow African.

Disgusting person.

You're actually the disgusting person here. So let's wait for more people to die before realizing that the country isn't working and isn't workable, At least, Americans can conduct a representative election. Can you? By the way, were your forefathers Nigerians that you wish to die in a shadow created by a whiteman or woman? What if you could start thinking for yourself based on the fact that most successful countries on earth are near homogenous?

OmoFiditi:
Dem be dey salivate to claim victory after dem don spoil country finish.

coputa:
Even a blind man can see that the nigeria state Is against the Igbos to mount the number one seat.

No matter the good intentions of the Igbos,the nigeria state will never encourage it but frustrate their efforts

I think there's this fear that at the slightest opportunity the Igbos will divide the country

So that's why they rig out an Igbo man and rig in incompetent people to destroy the country? Destruction is better than division ba?

Was the day NFF linked the Super Eagles to politics. I mean the NFF was so dumb to link success to folks who couldn't even win an election?

https://www.nairaland.com/7989998/renewed-super-eagles-one-mandate

Be careful who you link to your successes. Blame INEC

This was the day I knew there's trouble: when they linked the Super Eagles with election riggers.

paramakina202:


You continue to throw tantrum like the spoiled child brat that you are because he can't dispute the facts I layed out in my comment.
I have live abroad for decades and all I see mostly are Igbos everywhere except in Uk where Yoruba have solid presence.
Yoruba are doing well in music no body can take that away from them just like Igbos are representing in football.

A Yoruba man told me that an average Yoruba man has expertise in denying reality. He actually believes all the nonsense he typed up there that Tinubu's 9 months is the best thing after bread and butter and that Tinubu is better than Buhari.

jmoore:
There is nothing cryptic about the post. He did not see his death.

The article pointed out that he made that post a day after the burial of a staff of Access bank. It was just a message anyone in such position would have delivered.

You're very correct. News hunters merely made news out of nothing. His post would have meant a premonition if it wasn't made on the occasion of another death.

One needs a lot of money to even do half of what you suggested in this post.

Bubu4Sea:
They are burning Igbo markets all over Nigeria & this foolish Igbo governor wants to establish a Fulani colony in his state?

That may be the agreement before they rigged him in to complete them 2 Fulani puppet governors in Igbo. Considering that Wike and Umahi have gone, trhey need replacements in the regions.

Co-Pilot responds to why Nigerians elect incompetent people as presidents.

**Nigerians' choices in presidential elections** are influenced by a complex interplay of historical, cultural, and socio-political factors. Let's explore some key reasons:

1. **Ethnicity and Regionalism**:
- Nigeria is a diverse nation with multiple ethnic groups. Presidential candidates often hail from dominant ethnic backgrounds (Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo).
- An unwritten convention exists that power rotates between the northern and southern regions every eight years. This rotation fuels expectations and demands for representation from different zones¹.
- Some argue that a candidate from their region should ascend to the presidency, leading to ethnic and regional considerations in voting.

2. **Religion**:
- Religion plays a significant role in Nigerian politics. The balance between Muslim-majority northern regions and Christian-majority southern regions is carefully maintained.
- Historically, the president and vice-president do not share the same religion to prevent religious tensions.
- This religious balancing act influences voters' choices and party strategies¹.

3. **Corruption and Disillusionment**:
- Nigeria faces deep-rooted corruption, affecting all levels of governance. Many politicians are perceived as corrupt.
- Pew Research indicates that only 39% of Nigerians were satisfied with their democracy, and 72% believed most politicians were corrupt².
- Disillusionment leads some voters to believe that it doesn't matter who wins; things won't change significantly².

4. **Economic Challenges**:
- The economy remains a critical issue. Many Nigerians are worse off than they were in previous years.
- High unemployment rates, inflation, and economic instability contribute to voters' concerns³.

5. **Security and Violence**:
- Growing insecurity, violent crime, and terrorism pose serious challenges.
- Voters seek leaders who can address these security issues effectively.

6. **Electoral System and Transparency**:
- The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) oversees elections. While efforts have been made to enhance transparency (e.g., electronic voter accreditation), skepticism remains.
- Discontent with INEC's handling of elections affects voters' trust in the electoral process⁵.

In summary, Nigerians' electoral choices are shaped by a mix of historical legacies, socio-cultural factors, disillusionment, and pressing issues. The quest for competent leadership remains an ongoing struggle in Nigeria's democratic journey. 🇳🇬🗳️

shaqhead:
Just like the first commenter said (without the veiled insult though). You are trying too hard to force validation of an opinion lacking merit from an AI which interestingly kept pushing you the right path with sentences like the below: "It's important to address your question with nuance and avoid generalizations about entire populations. Attributing incompetence to any group of people based solely on their nationality can be harmful and inaccurate." and "perceived as incompetent".

Commonsense should tell you that NOT ALL NIGERIANS vote incompetent people as president. After all, all contestants receive votes. That being said doesn't preclude the fact that perceived incompetence from a president of a country is representative of its national choice whether duly elected by fair means or rigged in due to the flaws of the system.

And how did I validate what the AI already set forth just because I highlighted them? You obviously do not know the meaning of validation. Furthermore, commonsense demands that perception of competence is measurable through reproducible data. If a politician promised to make the economy better but ends up making it worse debar unforeseen circumstances such as acts of God, war and the like, it is safe to posit that such a president is incompetent. Other measurable stats are security, education, health, etc. Any politician who leaves the country worse than they met it is clearly incompetent. Why is this even a point to be discussed?

How Gemini answered the question "Why do Nigerians elect incompetent people as presidents"


It's important to address your question with nuance and avoid generalizations about entire populations. Attributing incompetence to any group of people based solely on their nationality can be harmful and inaccurate.

Instead of focusing on broad stereotypes, let's explore various factors that can influence elections in Nigeria, acknowledging the complexity of the issue:

1. Systemic Challenges: The electoral process itself faces issues like voter suppression, gerrymandering, and financial constraints that can limit voter choice and representation. Addressing these systemic challenges is crucial for a more equitable and effective democracy.

2. Lack of Information: Access to accurate and unbiased information about candidates and their policies can be limited, hindering informed voting decisions. Strengthening independent media and promoting voter education can empower citizens to make informed choices.

3. Ethnic and Religious Divisions: Deeply ingrained ethnic and religious divisions can be exploited by politicians, leading to voting based on group identity rather than merit or policy proposals. Fostering inter-group dialogue and promoting national unity can help overcome these divisions.

4. Economic Pressures: Poverty and economic hardship can make voters susceptible to short-term benefits or patronage offered by candidates, potentially overshadowing long-term development plans. Addressing economic challenges and promoting sustainable development is crucial for informed voting.

5. Historical Context: Understanding Nigeria's historical context, including its colonial past and challenges with military rule, is vital to appreciating the complexities of its current political landscape.

It's important to remember that generalizations about entire populations can be misleading and harmful. By delving into the complex factors influencing elections in Nigeria, we can engage in more meaningful discussions about promoting democratic values and ensuring representation for all citizens.

EmperorCaesar:
I know intelligence can sometimes be linked to genetics, so some people may not be born smart but at least, they can always sit back, reflect on things and do better like a naturally born wise person

That u need the validation/opinion of an AI on issues about u is the lowest of Lows

It used to be the opinions of foreigners on Nigeria but now its about what an AI thinks(Programmed to say)

I give up u guys

I guess I know where u come from and the shape of your head

But your moniker is EmperorCaesar not Oba Sijuade? Two-faced hypocrite.

ChatGPT responds:

There are several factors that may contribute to the election of leaders who are perceived as incompetent:

Historical Factors: Many countries, including Nigeria, have experienced periods of colonialism, dictatorship, or political instability, which can have long-lasting effects on governance structures and electoral processes. These historical factors may contribute to the emergence of leaders who are perceived as incompetent.

Ethnic and Religious Considerations: Nigeria is a diverse country with a large number of ethnic groups and religious communities. In some cases, voters may prioritize ethnic or religious identity over competence when choosing leaders, leading to the election of individuals who may not be the most qualified for the job.

Corruption and Nepotism: Corruption and nepotism can undermine the electoral process by allowing unqualified individuals to gain access to political power through bribery or other illicit means. This can result in the election of leaders who prioritize personal gain over the public good.

Limited Access to Information: In some cases, voters may not have access to accurate information about the qualifications and track records of political candidates. This can make it difficult for voters to make informed decisions and may contribute to the election of leaders who are perceived as incompetent.

Weak Institutions: Weak democratic institutions, including electoral commissions and judicial systems, can undermine the integrity of the electoral process and contribute to the election of leaders who may not be the most qualified for the job.

It's important to note that these factors are not unique to Nigeria and can be observed in many countries around the world.

Protest is not haram. So only the north and Yoruba are free to protest. No one should try it in the east and south.

After rigging election ba?

They should start printing it then. After all they print Chicago university certificate.

The next round of protests would be hashtagges #EBinPawa. Hausa people may translate it. All reasonable Nigerians have given them and Yoruba the go-ahead to protest. Others go siddon dey look. No protest in SE and SS.
