This is how you know that Peter obi left 75 billion. Obi met 35 billion debt owed pensioners, cleared it, did infrastructure and left 75billion in cash and investment.

Obiano took over and in the first year, he employed over 600 special advisers, paying them minimum of 150k a month with brand new cars.

Yet he claimed what peter obi left was debt.

He had to admit to selling dollars during the debate.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OrPUA6cb3U

Now soludo has entered is looking for money to work. Obiano should tell soludo where he found the money to employ over 600 SAs and was flexing in his first year in office.

When it comes to finances and economics, Obi is a magician. Nigeria needs obi more than he needs Nigeria.

All these show that Peter lacks that needed leadership idiosyncrasy to ensure that one’s ideology doesn’t get erased easily. A good leader (e.g Asiwaju, Olusegun Obasanjo, Kwankwaso, Ojukwu, and many others) should be influential and relevant that even after his regime, his legacies, in the form of Human Resources, would be indestructible and that’s one quality I so much admire about BAT. I keep saying this, I’m not making an endorsement and neither am I asking you guys to like him but his leadership acumen is just top notch. Despite not being in power, he controls Lagos State politics to ensure that his legacy and plans doesn’t get washed down the drain by subsequent governments. This is the real definition of leadership and it shouldn’t be mistaken for interference. Peter Obi, who can’t boast of establishing/building/raising even one single local government chairman, wants to compete with someone who’s well known for building people from scratch. Someone who enjoys the staunch support of various people who are now (whom he made) governors, Senators, President, house of rep members down to local govt chairmen. His victory come 2023 is a no-brainer. Only Atiku stands a chance and that’s because he enjoys the unfair advantage of ethnicity and religion.

Latest song in Osun. Electorates collected APC, BAT's 10,000 money for Agbado & Cassava but voted Adeleke.

I like this. It’s high time we let these evil politicians know that time has changed.

slimghost:
A man who is not willing to listen as a candidate will not listen to anybody as a president.
Tinubu is a bad market!.

Yes you’re right comrade. Vote your listening candidate and rest.
Why are you guys so pained that he chose a Muslim?
I still don’t get it. Is seeing him lose not what you want? Then why are you all trying to correct him from making the mistake

Splitmind:
We don't care, let it be insensitive.

Abi o.
Make them vote for those wey dey sensitive na. It is that simple.

Biodun556:

Don’t mind them. They’re trying so hard to divide Nigeria along religious line. All this noise about Muslim-Muslim ticket is just too unnecessary for my liking. Why are people pained that he (Asiwaju) chose what he believed would work for him? Why complaining since y’all believe that this move would jeopardize his chance of winning? or isn’t that what you want? There are many options available to choose from (LP, NNPP, PDP, SDP). At least other parties opted for Christian-Muslim and Muslim-Christian tickets. Why not pick from there and stop whining about what someone you hate so much decided to do with his life? Funny thing here is that even if he had opted to pick the Archbishop of Canterbury as his running mate, he would still not be your favorite. So why the noise??
Just pick your preferred candidate and rest. Why being restless about his choice ?

AbelAbdul:
I NEED TIPS ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THE CAR.

Please Corolla users give me TIPS. The dos and donts of the car.

I have finally arrived PH with the car I went to Lagos to buy.

TheI car and I are in good shape.
Though I'm just recovering from body pains.

This is my first time driving a car that long.

Congrats bro, e no go jam. But please always try as much as possible to avoid events that will ever make you drive at nights. Nigerian roads are built to kill. Potholes almost took my uncle’s life along Lagos-Ore. Almost, but the car was gone.

advanceDNA:
Lol...leave realistic....why are you trying to cajole obi followers ..if e sure for you...wait till election and let obi lose honourably..


See we dont know about any other election ...people supporting obi dont even know other labor party contesters at state and other levels..
...but u see this presidential election...we die there for peter obi

Ok.

INTEGRITYA1:
At the rate things is going now, anything fit happen ooooooo. Osun State is a case study.

No bros. Adeleke is not an unknown face in Osun politics. I’m not surprised he won the election again. Mind you, he was the rightful winner in 2018 before the maradona party sharply run their last-minute wuruwuru but the chance of pdp winning Lagos is just too slim to say the least. It’s no competition.

Bornbiafra:
When I see people praising politicians for doing what they are paid to do ..I laugh for this country Nigeria

No sir/ma. In a lawless country where all the politicians are mad and seldom do that “what they are paid to do”, anyone among them who decides to go outside the ‘norm’ to do what’s right, deserves our praises, prayers and commendations. Thank you

Golan007:
Peter Obi did whislt he was governor.

Tinubu had left office before his son attended University in UK.

Own goal

Greatzeus:
Because they have been hit with the reality of life over there. In contrast to the dreams of flashiness they thought they were going to meet
See bro,you might travel and things will work for you easily than they told you,that doesn't mean they were lying or trying to discourage you,they were just being sincere.

It’s a big fat lie bros. What is at play is called economic TERRITORIALITY. Though it is inherent in every human but it’s worse anywhere poverty is endemic. Most of the time, if an African man invites you to come grab an opportunity, then know that there’s a catch (emphasis on “Most”) I’m trying not to generalize. That’s why I always tell people falling preys to ponzi and betting scams, there’s no free money/opportunity anywhere. AFRICANS ARE NOT BUILT TO HELP OR OPEN ONE ANOTHER TO OPPORTUNITIES. If an African man has a fortune tree in his backyard, he will never let you anywhere near his abode. So bros, you’re implying that these guys didn’t want OP to come face the sad experiences they’ve been though over there right?
They got hit by the reality but to come back home na no no
Pls stop misleading ppl. We all know what’s at play here. They keep telling you the pasture is not greener on the other side but they rather die there than come back home. It’s all man to himself and nobody is willing to share with you his secret to financial freedom (except maybe your blood relations). If you doubt me, ask a retailer where and how he sources for his goods; that you would like to join the business and wait for his reaction

[quote author=bigpicture001 post=114687206][/quote]Lol, funny but I won’t respond in kind. Luckily for you, I chose peace today. So all you could deduce from my long epistle is that I’m Tinubu’s E-warrior despite throwing subtle jabs at him. Also, my children won’t suffer because they will be realists and not some overly religious ignoramus who vote leaders based on ethnic and religious sentiments and not because of competence. I’m not forcing my views on you so I respect your school of thought too. Humans are complex beings and as such, our opinions will always differ.

bigpicture001:
U are very funny.... U want to blame religion for bad government..?

Christian-christian won't be the main factor to save us neither is Muslim - Muslim..

But in all, we need to bring everyone to the table to feel included and needed and considered....

Tinubu goofed big time!

And what has changed since 1999 despite bringing everyone to the table ?
I’m not holding brief for anyone but remember Buhari is an ethnic and religious bigot but we (I personally, fell for this format) got scammed by their presentation of a redeem Christian church pastor. Has this pastor been able to put an end to the killings of Christians?
Has he been able to defend Christians’ interest ? Has he ever for once come out to defend the Christian’s’ interests?
What I’m saying is this: the day we start putting sectionalism, ethnic and religious considerations aside and looking out for competence as a result of past exploits, when picking our leaders, is the day we start enjoying true leadership and all round prosperity. Because as it stands now, Mr Kamarudeen will vote for Tinubu and it’s most probably going to be because the later is a fellow Muslim and a Yoruba man and not because he did well with Lagos. Likewise Mr Odogwu will go for Obi (despite his complicity in the Ezu river and the Nwafor saga) just for nothing tangible to talk about other than for being an Igbo man and a Christian. If we keep on thinking this way, they too will keep bringing idiots who share the same religious inclinations with us just to appeal to our sentiments and ego. Though I perfectly understand your school of thought. You’re ultimately talking about inclusive politics since Nigeria is a multinational state but let’s stop giving so much relevance to ethnicity and religion. The most backward countries in the world are definitely not the secularists.

bigpicture001:
Thatt is commendable.. but thatt still doesn't hide the insensitivity of a Muslim Muslim ticket ...

That was a careless decision.. even if they win.. it's still a stupid decision

Well said but where are we now despite the Muslim-Christian arrangement of 2015?
What has changed? Is Nigeria now better or even retrogressing?
I won’t lie to you, picking that scam pastor Osinbajo got almost everyone one of us then. It was Tinubu’s master stroke that year. We were too mumu to think that a pastor could also double as a good politician
There’s nothing like Muslim/Christian Nigerian politician. These guys are all the same, they have no conscience; the only religion they are faithful to and have in common is corruption.

I’ll make sure I verify this info and if found to be true, then Tinubu and this man are the best qualified for this job (at least this shows that they are both not like the bigot Buhari and Obituary). Mind you, I didn’t mention Atiku because I don’t know much about his tribal inclination. So someone living in the far north could be so detribalized to have Christian southerners and middle Beltans making up his cabinet? Conversely, some people’s messiah, who they so much believe would turn things around and unite this contraption, can’t boast of appointing a single northern muslim or even a westerner in his cabinet as a governor during his 8 years tenure, yet, they are always the first to shout “Islamization”
In all honesty, if you guys had chosen one young unknown face from the East and sold him to us as being capable of rescuing us from this evil claws (even if na Nnamdi Kanu), believe me, some Nigerians might consider him but I can’t believe you guys are doing image laundry for someone who couldn’t turn that small state of Anambra around in 8 years. I don’t even think he can measure up to former Gov Willie in the areas of infrastructural achievements.

inoki247:
So in one words na Europe dey war na US dey cashout....

Exactly bro. That’s what we’ve been saying concerning the Russia-Ukraine war. The European puppets are just too dumb to see. The United States will never allow a violent riot in their mainland but are ever ready to wage wars in faraway countries. We keep telling these European blockheads that the American fueling this crisis are only doing so for their own gains and spoils. The earlier the Europeans realize that there’s no such thing as good capitalists the better for them and the world at large. No capitalist loves you without a price.

adioolayi:
Put the way this Kwankwaso addressed issues around Tinubu's Presidency and compare it with the way he addressed Peter Obi and Atiku's Presidency...

That gives you a signal that, if you are still thinking Northerners will not vote Tinubu or APC because Buhari is not on the ballot...Your understanding of Nigeria's politics is little.

This man Kwankwaso, like every other formidable Nigeria's politicians, if they can't get power, they prepare themselves strategically to be relevant in the Government of the person they feel can win.

2023 elections will be very interesting

Bless you and this is just what the Easterners should be doing. Align with the people you think might win instead of sending yourselves to political orphanage. Even the almighty US keeps making friends and forming alliances with others despite being dubbed the most powerful country in the world. Nobody is an island. You guys go about abusing everyone; the Hausas are cows while the Yorubas/afonjas were the cows’ slaves. Now you want both the Malus and the slaves to vote you to rule that same zoo you want out of
I’m definitely not saying that this is how every Igbo man behaves because I have a lot of sensible Igbo friends. Who don’t go about insulting ppl who share views different from theirs. Forget it, these northerners are scholars when it comes to national politics. You’re on your own If you think Mr Kwankwaso is saying this because he cares about you, baba doesn’t want to be politically irrelevant.

Illusionale:
One last thing for you critics, plastic backs on a phone is a budget feature, plastic is the least most valuable of phone covers and when it breaks, it surely does- it will make your phone look cheaper and if you were to go in for swapping and whatnot, your phone will be priced extremely low. Do not be surprised when a phone you bought for 80k gets priced at 25k before your very eyes.
Thank you- criticism is highly valued.

Nice writeup but as much as I wouldn’t like to pitch my tent with Transsion, these guys are not to be blamed. Let’s blame our moronic, visionless leaders. Though, these makers (transsion) have their shortcomings e.g use of mediocre processors and body (I don’t think there’s any infinix/Tecno phone that’s built on glass back or the gorilla glass 5, yet we have them even on 2020 Redmi phones, realme and some other makers and at the same or lesser price range. Transsion is not and can never be my favorite but let’s give these guys a break. At least, they’re now listening to our 2016/17 gospel sponsored by Xiaomi and the likes. Now back to our wretched currency and economy, some ppl as of last year, said iPhone 13 pro max was to expensive at 1.5 million Nigerian naira; yes you heard it right , 1.5 million and now at around 850k for the 1 terabyte. In all this, people living in the US and other working human society will be bewildered by our “apple is too expensive “ claims we were making last year since the latest iPhones were still priced at $1100 same as the 2017 IPhone 10 (they will be like “why are Nigerians surprised to see a thousand dollars iPhone that has been the standard since 2017 not knowing that this “new thousand dollar don wear wrapper tie gele join) So apple is not at fault, blame the joke you call your president, that cursed, bald-headed cbn governor and the thieves we put in our airports and land borders; charging exorbitant prices, tagging it customs duty. Imagine we were still in the Yar’ adua’s /Jona days, then mr Adamu murufu Chukudi with his 250k naira (naira @150/$) savings from his carpentry workshop at Oshodi, should be able to buy the 13 promax without breaking the bank (mind you, today’s 250k Nigerian naira can’t buy you even fourth-hand 256gb 11 promax of 2019 ) Mind you iPhone X and IPhone 13 promax were both tagged 1100 usd in 2017 and Nov 2021 respectively I.e 350k and 1.5 million naira respectively in our darling country. Though these guys are wasting too much resources on needless endorsements all in a bid to appeal to their tech-illiterate fans, let’s not expect a less-than $200 phone to perform magic. $200 is just some people’s 6-hour pay in a working society. That $200 used to be just #32500 and now about #120000 (black market)

I support ffkon this one. This gross incompetence stinks to the high heaven to say the least.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3nN-mvAoKE Oraimo smart accessories has levelled up their games and in this video, I checked out what you will see in the newly released Oraimo smart watch. With Bluetooth calling, Bigger Battery, Larger Screen, Touch to Sleep, etc. Check this video and be see for yourself.

Of course, I like Oraimo range of products but this annoying trend of every android OEM trying hard to be like apple should stop. Like why can’t they just get creative and come up with something unique (even the name sef) instead of imitating others. They are doing nothing other than telling the world that they want to be like apple (they did just the same thing with the AirPods) Apple is the first maker of the modern-day AirPods and Smart watch ( not to be mistaken for digital watches)
Every Tom, Dick and Harry today would start doing reviews; pitching their best flagship with an Apple device like Apples are the SET STANDARDS of what good devices should look like. It’s nauseating to say the least. It’s now hard to tell which one is Apple and which one is the clone. Even if I would love to pick this watch, I’ll rather save more to get what I consider to be the original because the design alone makes it look like I love the Apple Watch but had to opt for this due to financial constraints and believe me, nobody wants that and you can’t blame me, I belong to the category of ppl who believe in waiting to get the best even if it’s going to take years rather than settling down for the other option that looks like a replica of the original. Unknown to them, they are only promoting Apple and this trend needs to stop.

Realteeyee123:
Have been following the thread since, quite an interesting and educative thread.

Though I feel like other's have said iphone is a great phone with an amazing ecosystem but there are other phones too that are also amazing like the Google pixel, Samsung S series, Hauwei, and few others, techno and Infinix aren't even allowed to enter the car park talk less of being in the building for discussion where these phone's are being mentioned no offense though to their user's.

Just that lot's of Nigerians and some Africans feel if you use an iPhone you have arrived in life Lol.

Boss, Transsion marketers are coming for your head in 3,2,1.., brace up
And @bolded is especially annoying but for now, I don’t think any manufacturer come close to the apple ecosystem IMO. Android (particularly Samsung) are just trying. Also, just take your time and try to get the Apple Watch series(5, SE, 6 or even 7) and compare to any corresponding android counterpart (Galaxy watch, Fitbit or Redmi watch) then you would realize that android never ready to be sincere

For sale 13 pro max available for sale 09030904339

OP bia correct this misleading headline. It should be “Clone 13 promax for sale” Again, refurbished phones are not fake. Which day apple produce ‘purple’ 13 promax

Mrkumareze:
I guess you aren't familiar with the state, the axis you mentioned was done by federal government . You can Google it to confirm.
You can also read more from the link below >>https://www.google.com/amp/s/ng.opera.news/ng/en/politics/amp/5d7e9ef584ffd10cde0d886a82ddd88a

Yes you’re right, I’m not based in Anambra but I frequent that axis but I’m also not talking about the highway itself sir. The highway from Onitsha to Akwa is a federal road, I know and Enugu is just about 2 hours. I said rural areas (Akwa and Onitsha are not rural areas) If you go off that highway maybe at Odumodu junction, you’ll see one of the ongoing constructions I’m talking about sir

Chikeluba25:
.

Truth be told and in my opinion, Willie tried in the areas of road construction in rural areas (I know about Oyi, Umunya and Awkuzu axis. Various constructions still ongoing along that Onitsha-Akwuzu-Akwa highway) and swift salary payments (though some would argue that it is the basic/normal civil responsibility of every governor to pay salaries as and when due but Gov Yahaya and a host of other unserious elements in govt are saying hi)
None of these politicians is my favorite but at least this one try make we talk true.

Smithkafors:
Nice one..... Look at the structure put in place and compare that with what Lagos State has been has been commissioning up and down including other Nigerian governor's. They will destroy slums, markets and church without providing alternatives.

Also, regarding the recent demolition of the church owned by Odumeje, anambra state government should have provided alternative for him and his worshippers. Hopefully, he took out his property before that.
If you are here and still supporting our wicked politicians, u really need to check ur self seriously.

We celebrate wickedness, backwardness and ethnic superiority instead of quality. If the government manages to build this house, it will only be for political office holders. Make una try get sense small.

Bless you bros, you are a freethinker. These are the kinds of unbiased judgement and analysis I like. I like it when ppl judge and dish out blames uniformly and accordingly. I like the way you generalized the Nigerian politicians as one caucus of thieves and murderers and not blaming one and protecting the others. There’s no such thing as a good Nigerian politician in my own book. You don’t talk bad about the thieves in Lagos while protecting the ones in Anambra, Katsina or in Bayelsa.

Nozino:
People like you are the problem we have in Nigeria. The U turn if there was one isn’t relevant.

Why are you not asking the right question? Questions like;
The the senator offer to buy his kid?
Was he aware?
Did he consent?
If he did, was it under duress?

No boss/ma
Like I said earlier, I’m not picking sides with anyone and if you had read my first comment, you would have seen that I blamed the senator too for choosing a vulnerable, homeless and hungry boy for the deal without any legal representatives. I’m just concerned about trust. You can no longer trust anyone in Nigeria. If the boy intentional lied on his National ID to be 21 in Nigeria and suddenly, this same boy claimed to be 15 on getting to the UK, then there’s a problem and so it is very RELEVANT my friend. In every criminal investigation, nothing is irrelevant and no question is too big to ask. Also, the Ekweremadus should be investigated thoroughly for their choice of donor like I pointed out earlier. Why on earth will I choose to blindly support a Nigerian politician Biko ? They’re all filthy.
Btw, I hate Ekweremadu and every other Nigerian politician pass you because their actions and inactions have taken more lives than death itself. I don’t wish them good and our anger towards them is very justifiable but at times, we need to put sentiments aside and judge like the higher animals that we are. We shouldn’t promote the growing trend of distrust and lies among Nigerians all because we want him (Ike) roasted.
