Stay home, have the kids open their presents and we all go and watch our movies.

gloryhomemaker:
I wish to give myself 14 hours sleep daily for the Christmas period to tell my body well done for all the work done through the year.

I already know it's not possible
More work dey.

Another conspiracy...and Still, they have never found him guilty of any of these outlandish conspiracies. His Mother was the First Iyalode and she was very popular...that alone could have opened many doors. Don't be ignorant people. Awolowo and Ogunde's children will always have some doors opened for them that some of us with our qualifications can never enter. Build a GREAT NAME...Build your FAMILY a LEGACY and STOP THE HATE.

Reference:
Everyone knows he got this rich by peddling influence. Lagos is not his fiefdom for nothing. That ship has sailed. The question to Nigeria now is, how to stop that cancer spreading to the rest of Nigeria since the institutions necessary to check this are weak and ever willing accomplices in the feudalistic democracy we practice here.

I have NEVER met Tinubu, not getting paid and I have actually donated to HIS campaign

Alpharey:
You are a great defender. You are hereby selected into the Tinubu first eleven. Hope they increase your salary.

He is attending US-Africa Summit. How can you have an African summit with the Nigerian President? Leave Ajala alone lol. Buhari is doing what our President should be doing. This is why you create teams and systems to govern. Obi's plan to travel everywhere wont work

MufasaLion:
Mr. Ajala.

I see him playing in 4yrs at the next World Cup. Legends like him never go AWAY. LOL

As a Christian, I worry about what WIKE is saying and what Obi is doing. If Obi wins, would he continue to attend all these churches, or he would stop and declare his mission accomplished? What does that mean for churches and future politicians? What if they don't allow others in the future, would we have concerns about bias? I also worry that if he loses, the church might become anti-government. None of these are good outcomes. I pray they rethink, and maybe the leaders of the churches should pray and meet with all candidates. The same should be true for the Imams. We don't want our religious institutions to become anti-government centers for the opposition.

Some of these things make no sense. So because the family was poor when Tinubu was young, does that mean they ought to remain poor by the time the parents died? Second, Tinubu's Mom was eulogized in Ebenezer Obey's song "Congratulation"....Madam Tinubu, Iyalode akoko (first). That song mentioned the likes of Tejuosho and Abiola's wife. No doubt, the family turned their fortunes around.

Atiku needs to clarify how he was making money as a Customs Officer on the side, which was illegal even then. Tinubu said he inherited some properties and turned it around. Just building roads can do that. Lekki was once a no-go area...look at Lekki now. I know a family that had many plots in Lekki when it was useless...they have since leased it for Event Center and will get it back after 30yrs. That is how fortune smiles on people. Sadly, enemies of wealth and envious people won't know this.

Last but not least, Tinubu has been so generous to many people that I do not doubt that his upbringing and some of the challenges he faced shaped him that he must be a giver and also build his wealth. May God help us all....watch Tinubu Stories on Youtube. He has changed many, many lives, including a Monarch in the North.

Not at all...we are only 6 months, and we are doing our part...Electricity, School supplies, Block of Classroom, Welfare and Empowerment, Support to churches and mosques, CCTV donation and installation....

Damnnn niggar

Nice

It seems itel is the only people doing this reasonable things

You need investment in Agriculture to feed the pigs. The development of seeds and research made will help us to become self sustainable and allow us to expand our investment in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. TRY TO STUDY THE POLICIES OF THE GOVT BY THINKING...WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS? WHATS THE NEXT POSSIBLE STEP AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING? then watch reports, interviews and conferences including international ones from AfriBank so you won't be ignorant. This is the number one problem affecting us...uninformed citizens and journalists. There is a reason AfriBank, WorldBank and the rest are investing in Nigeria...it's not just for us to feed ourselves but to feed all of West Africa and beyond.

MufasaLion:
It's not peculiar to piggery alone. There are many units/sections of agriculture that could have been invested in and create employment for millions of Nigerians and also generate revenue for the government and citizens.

Sadly, they don't care because they can't make the type of money they embezzle within 4 years from agriculture. So, everyone can't sacrifice his belly for the citizens that elected them.

Lots of scammers here in the US pretending to run payment platforms for gullible Nigerians. Use someone you can hold accountable and start small before going big

JohnPortar:
Can Geegpay USD account receive payment from Payoneer?

I was using Grey.co's GBP account but those guys are scammers

I hear you. There are no perfect solutions but if you have the right people say like me and your business is legit,you will get your money lol. You just need more people like me. Seeing people commit suicide because of crypto around the world is enough warning ⚠️. Think wisely

samsard:
I have heard from people who's money got to our "kinsmen" abroad for payments but they ate it and never remitted. Crypto exchanges don't crash every day.
I think most freelancers would prefer to receive USD and change by themselves because you get the best conversion that way.
Losing 3% to withdrawal fees is distressing enough to someone like me, I can imagine that guy or any freelancer for that matter would be sorely pissed to lose 10% of their income monthly to an intermediary.

I am not sure you know how anything works. 60 Senators can overrule the US President. House of Reps can investigate the President. Who told you the President is the King. You need great systems with less concentration of power at the center. Checks and Balances can't come from one man. You think Biden discovered all the Covid fraud? He assigns competent people and allows them to run the system. During Covid, the Doctor in charge of the Vaccines took charge. Don't be ignorant and try to lecture people that know better. We need a reformed style of governance with great systems.

IfnobeGod20:
Peter Obi will govern Nigeria and Nigerians.
This your comment only make Tinubu incompetent and incapable. Every system of government lies on the shoulders of the head and not on his aides. This is the kind we've been practicing that ministers, directors and advisers does whatever they like because no one to check them and they use that loophole to embezzle and stripe naked the treasury. All over the world, the president take responsibilities of the system because the constitution only empowers the president and not his aides or anything remotely close to him or her.
This journey of entrusting aides with authority without proper check and balance is what has brought us to this dead end. You guys need be censoring words before you spew it out because the intent may be damaging than curing base on constitutional provisions.

Of course, the world is hard. Reforming is not easy. Turning a ship is harder than turning a boat. Know this and know peace...I will pick all these guys over those that Obi would put forward Lol.

Ahhhh aye le o

This is BAD business for the WEST. Some of them go to Indonesia just for the SEX....but it is good news for all the girls forced into prostitution and sexual exploitation to satisfy disgusting men from Western countries. They will look for another alternative, like Thailand, to keep going to.

fergie001:
Indonesia, the world’s third-largest democracy, cleared a sweeping overhaul of its criminal code on Tuesday, outlawing sex outside of marriage, defamation of the president and sharply expanding its laws against blasphemy.

The new rules, which also apply to foreigners in the country, have drawn criticism from human rights activists, businesspeople and students who warned of the risks posed to the L.G.B.T. community and religious minorities. Opponents also said that the rules threatened the global reputation that Indonesia, which has the world’s largest Muslim population, has built as a tolerant, widely secular nation.

Indonesian officials say upgrading the existing criminal code, which dates back to 1918 when Indonesia was a Dutch colony, was long overdue. Among the raft of new laws, penalties around consensual sex outside marriage have drawn the most criticism.
According to the new law, unmarried couples who “live together as a husband and wife” could be jailed for six months or face a maximum fine of 10 million rupiah ($710).

Did ATIKU visit Oshodi in 1999? If you did and saw it before Tinubu left, then you will be QUIET...then again, its election season. Those who know, know. Some places were NO GO AREA in Lagos. Lagos is now the ENVY of Nigeria. One State --- 40% of total IGR. Keep crying.

El Rufai is actually a very good governor, and I can go to bed knowing that he is one of the people in charge of the country. Biden goes to bed trusting his Generals, FBI, CIA, and so on. What we don't need is a one-man government that can fall sick, and the whole country will be in crisis. If you see a Yoruba like me very OK with El Rufai and Ayade, who is really putting tribe over competency? Any party that has El Rufai, Ayade, Umahi, Zulum, Sanwo-Olu can RULE Nigeria for 3 decades, and I will be OK with it. Who will Peter Obi govern with?

DestinyNigga:
Na stupidity dey worry you. Imagine entrusting Nigeria in Tinubu's hand! He will not even be the ones ruling. People like El Rufia will be the ones ruling indirectly. Many of you know this but you placed tribe over competency. Forgetting that if Nigeria good, it's good for all of us.

some of Tinubu's manifesto ideas.
- Electricity - Regional production of electricity
- On Food production - Similar to stock market, food produce manufacturer can trade with profits on their commodities...commodity exchange
- Education - Loans to study Science and Tech and for low income with funds going to improve Education
- To drive the economy - Loans to buy houses, cars and other essentials backed by govt that will accelerate and expand the use of our resources to develop more. If investors know they will be able to sell their houses because more people can have access to capitals, they will build more...giving jobs jobs jobs to Nigerians. Lagos will be assembling vehicles and Innoson will also sell more if there are capital access for people to buy new cars...you will see more car manufacturing industries in Nigeria.
- On security - Regional, State, and Local Govt security infrastructure - doubling of our forces.

Why CANT Buhari do all of these? Well, he inherited a country in recession, covid-19 that killed 1 million Americans and shut down the global economy, Oil thefts, Yoruba Nation and Biafra agitations, Boko Haram and ISWAP, and ISIS....Kidnapping and Banditry. Most of these have been fixed or reduced significantly.

NOW we have NIN, SIM-NIN integration, BVN-NIN, and the signing of all the contracts and MoU that will usher in a new era. Storage centers, Lekki Deep Automated Seaport, and some in the SE, SS, Niger Delta bridge, Trains, and Rails that will move goods for exports. You BUILD a FOUNDATION before BUILDING a HOUSE on it. A house not BUILT on a solid foundation will crumble. That is what happened at Anambra under PO. The House looked good on the outside, but the foundation cracked the house after Obi left.

I never told you to follow the suggestion, I just gave you one...but the most important point was that every problem has a solution. When you order food on the app in Nigeria, the service charge before delivery is 10% then you pay for delivery. You don't think of it as stupid because they are offering you a service. You can negotiate 5% with the person, but if you want someone to allow the use of his account at no cost, then that makes no sense.

If you see Crypto as a better alternative, go for it...but hey, FTX was a warning to you. Like a Yoruba adage always say...if you see a sign of bad thing, think of it as a warning. I am still amazed at how many people will pick Crypto with no backup over doing transactions with their own kinsmen. A word is enough for the wise. By the way, we do millions of dollars of transactions daily outside of the country ...you send dollars to people, and they send Naira to your account in Nigeria effortlessly. They will do it at a reduced rate, but it's faster and makes more sense than sending dollars and waiting for pickup and Sabo market. Every problem has a solution. A word again is enough for the wise.

truthsayer009:
LMAOOOO! Most foolish suggestion ever. You think humans can be trusted with $2000? Besides why would people be loosing out $200 every month on top of transfers when they are other ways of legit receiving money you're totally in control of.

Did you even READ everything they wrote about? They broke it down piece by piece to show that the manifesto was either a continuation of Buharinomics, cant be achievable and nothing out of the box. If this is the best PO can do, well...good luck. Stop insulting the man with a manifesto that thinks outside of the box...want some of Tinubu's manifesto ideas.

At least, Obi speaks for himself and doesn't assign friends to answer questions.

A genuine GCE certificate is better than a fake Chicago certificate. The same Chicago certificate that is fake and also has no original GCE background.

Unknown organizations, even in the United States. Oyinbos are like Nigerians...offer them money, and they will fly on a plane and claim to be anything you want them to be Lol. When PO starts meeting with US reps, Israeli diplomats, and diplomats from other countries...call me up. They probably have enough intel and want nothing to do with that. Just saying...

Did you see the Technology Center opened by Buhari? Buhari has reinvigorated our science and research institute. Go to the one in Oyo State and other parts of the country. Now, we produce our seeds. Lagos will assemble vehicles soon, and we have storages throughout the country. We need not talk about the roads, cargo airports, bridges, etc. The greatest issue with Buhari is security; sadly, playing the ethnicity card made it harder to deal with. The Yoruba nation started their own, and those in South East/Biafra. Without the coordination of the major parts of the country, there was no way anything would have worked. Nigeria does not manufacture weapons, and no African country does, so where are all these weapons coming from...Libya, Chad, Sudan, and so on....the West left us to die during Covid and refused to give us vaccines...they stopped the shipment of food and took care of their own. Buhari has taken us through some of our most challenging times. He who has eyes, let him see, and thank God there is Renewed Hope in Tinubu. People are no longer saying Govt does not do anything...they are saying that Govt is not doing enough. That is a good thing. You need to lay the foundation for growth. Nigeria had NONE

bepositive11:
What makes you think that Tinubu won't continue with what Buhari is doing? They are from the same party and he even defended Buhari in this interview. Tinubu even said that he helped Buhari to become president and give Nigerians 8 years of hell.

You people just like to suffer.

You mean...provided they will be allowed to vote. Thank God Buhari didn't put the election on a Monday lol

The whole of south east is OBIdient...

God Bless the incoming president HE peter Obi....


Nigeria must be great again....

Vote Wisely 2023...

Every problem as a solution. Look for someone that can trust your line of work, they can pay into the person's account and that person can remit to you. If you give the person a small cut, its a win-win. Say you make $2000 a month, and you agree on a 10% cut, he gets $200 and he remits $1800 via western union or worldremit, you get paid and no blockage. Your Oga wont want to be doing all these app transfers...think outside of the box my people.

tensazangetsu20:
Bros its not a joke. I remember when I started working my boss tried more than 4 payment platforms and after using it like 2 times he would get blocked cause he's sending money to Nigeria.

We currently use crypto as a means of payment after we exhausted all options but not every company can use this because of the tax implications.

I know 2 people who have lost jobs because the companies couldn't figure out payment methods and not every company wants to do dorm account transfer. Sometimes the stress is so much especially if it's a small company and it's an individual handling that while your colleagues in other countries are paid through PayPal. I just pity those who have given birth in Nigeria. If things are this bad only God knows how they will be in 20 years.

So Supreme Court is Satanic? Sometimes I wonder how we became this way as a country. If the Muslim students wear hijab, does that affect your own children? Anambra said skirts must be longer, everyone praised that decision. It shouldn't be forced, but public schools must respect the rights of everyone to exercise their religion. The fact that you linked this to Muslim-Muslim ticket show how shallow you are. Muslims wear hijab even in Catholic Universities in America or in the middle east. They are not stuck with your level of ignorance.

Cyynthia:
They have exposed their plans behind satanic and demonic Muslim Muslim ticket..


Yoruba wake up...

Christians are not and can never be slaves in this country..

Never!!

Now i understand know why they frustrated our Pastor Yemi Osibanjo from becoming APC flagbearer..

They have satanic agenda

Did you solve the crimes in Anambra?

How can anyone hold him responsible when they are attacking us, and he isn't even President yet? If you try to hold President Obi responsible, good luck against the Obidients.

His 80-page manifesto speaks for itself. Creating an agriculture commodity market will bring in FDA because they can be guaranteed profits on their investments. I cannot tell you how many Nigerians abroad will invest in Nigeria under Tinubu...most of them are already living in Lagos. They are just waiting for the right man...and they are not ethnocentric...Igbos, Yorubas, and Hausas/Fulani believe in Tinubu above all others. That is the difference in this election. Even the current Gov of Anambra cannot speak for Obi, and the current Gov of Adamawa cannot speak for Atiku. Just before you forget, the greatest mistake Obasanjo made was Atiku. If you vote for him, you will see pepper to the power of 10.

seunmsg:
Great interview. I love his response to the question about who he would have voted for between Obi and Atiku if he’s not running for president.

His brilliance, confidence and arrogance is why I like him. Even the western world would be afraid of the kind of groundbreaking impact Tinubu will bring to the country if elected president. He has the right mindset, ideas and track record to really turn this country around. He will make a very good president.

When they go low, we go high. We don't need to be like them. When we WIN, we don't need them using our hatred to start another call for Biafra. We will LOVE on them, and when they come up with that secession, even their own kinsmen will wonder if their heads are screwed right. We already have some of the IJAW folks on our side. Tinubu is the true man of unity. Ndigbo Lagos for TINUBU....how many Yoruba groups in Anambra endorsed Obi or Northern groups in Adamawa. We move...Lol

basybasy:
If they like, de should commit suicide, Obi is going nowhere. We cannot allow enemies of Nigeria to rule Nigeria. Useless people want to rule Zoo. Yeye people, they don't have shame. Just to attack everybody. U people no get madness. They think it is only dem that know how to abuse people on social median.

They show up during the election. Tinubu supported one of the Kings in the North before he even attained the throne. What you do before reaching the pinnacle of success truly defines you, not the fake life you try to prop up when you reach the top. Always ask...what was he like before now? Some forth for democracy and went into exile. Mandela was not the best, but his sacrifices made way for him.

IMO is APC country, but we will show respect and love to Peter Obi. Come election, we will deliver the mandate across the country. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. "On your mandate, we shall stand...shall be the country's 2nd anthem."

We don't have journalists. We have activists, and we will suffer for it. Obama used teleprompters. This is unbecoming and unprofessional. Did he use teleprompters while speaking to BBC? I don't know how good people would want to run for elections if our journalists are acting like this.

Not many people realized he called someone from the North (Kaduna), South West (Yoruba), and South-South....these are his strongholds. While some worry about why he called or didn't call, Tinubu is sending a message of unity, a man that can assemble a team that represents Nigeria and someone who trusts his guys on day one to deliver.

https://dailytrust.com/2023-tinubu-delegates-el-rufai-others-to-answer-questions-at-chatham-house/

Since Nigerians are not used to systems and teams, it is important to start educating you all. Tinubu has several town hall meetings where he answered questions. Go and Watch them. We need someone that can create systems and teams and break down the concentration of powers at the center. What you don't need is a one-man power broker. May the best man win...and by the way, even when Biden is answering questions, they still have tons of people working for him on specific policies. If you don't like his style, don't vote for him...millions will. God bless Nigeria

Comparing agbalumo to oranges. A sitting president delegates questions to those in charge of the subject matter, and not a candidate who the electorates want to hear his personal ideas. The covid team who are doctors will answer questions relating to covid.

Elon Musk is a private businessman, even at that Elon does most of his publicity and unvailing of his products. He is the one that answers questions and gives interviews.[/quote]
