You may think you know what you were saying, but I bet you is impossible in your lifetime to attain Obi's level in politics with this mentality.
FreeStuffsNG: Oga sir, you are being led by the nose sir. Mr Obi is a well respected Nigerian and I have never called him unsavoury names because I respect and appreciate him for stepping forward for leadership.That is where it ends.
When it comes to digging deep on his public service record, it is completely ungodly to attempt to compare or elevate Mr Obi over his former Boss, HE Atiku let alone bring him near Asiwaju Tinubu. Even HE Fashola and Ambode will trump Mr Obi in terms of public service records.
I just want to beg you to stop rewarding with your support those who were mediocre in public service. 3 years from now, Mr Ifeanyi Okowa too will start gunning for Presidency and when he pays the Economist , a foreign newspaper, to do PR and sponsored post for him, you will tell me that they know more. You must think some of us are naive. smh
While struggling to read from Teleprompter like a primary school comprehension student, Peter Obi appears not to understand what his shabby team put down from his cut-and-paste manifesto.
I was thinking am the only one noticing that Tinubu doesn't have any idea of how to better 9ja. He always talk big big talk without having the interest of ordinary Nigerian.
Those of you that will see a visionary leader and come back to say rubbish. You see white and say is black. Remember the law of karma, one day you'll come out to take up one position or the other. People will say rubbish about you too. I pity some ungrateful elements
SpecialAdviser: It is an honour to return to the City of Kaduna and to participate in the Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session, and rub minds on some fundamental issues germane to the future of Nigeria.
I thank the leadership and stakeholders of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation for their gracious invitation.
I wish to preface my remarks by setting out our mission and vision. We are all Nigerians. I am a Nigerian running for the Nigerian Presidency to serve every Nigerian. I continue to insist on a show of respect for every candidate, ethnicity, religion and person.
The mission and vision of the incoming Obi-Datti Administration is to give full expression to our democracy by moving our country from consumption to production; we shall achieve this by giving primacy to implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our dear country today has become a shadow of itself. Indeed, there is evidence that Nigeria exhibits two known indices of a failed state; parlous economy and loss of territory and emergence of ungoverned spaces.
The purpose of politics and governance is to generate economic and social progress for the citizens in larger freedom. But the status quo is the reverse. This is more so here in the North, where poverty, unemployment and insecurity are the new normal.
The North has the highest number of out-of-school children in the world. It has highest number of school kidnappings in the world. The North also has the highest number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria.
The vast agricultural lands of the north - the so-called food basket of the nation stand desolate and abandoned. This situation is painful and needs to be fixed. Great nations are built through visionary policies, programmes and projects, anchored on the people.
This was always the hope and wishes for Nigeria by our founding fathers. Sadly, things changed. Our leaders became selfish, myopic and stopped listening and caring for the common man. Bad leadership, divisive rhetoric, and impunity became the norm.
Nigerians have suffered; they have lost jobs, and lost their farms and herds and their trust in our leaders. That narrative must change.
The Nigerian people want solutions to the many problems confronting them. After all economic prosperity for all is an all important aspect of a successful leadership, there is hope. We know this for sure. A new Nigeria is Possible.
But we must return to dreams of our founding fathers to create an egalitarian society. The Nigeria we seek will be a United and Secure Nigeria that symbolizes the spirit, letters, and exhorting ethos of our national anthem – “one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity” where “peace and justice shall reign.” As we seek to come to power in May 2023, we are aware of the daunting array of domestic and external challenges confronting our dear nation, and we are fully prepared to lead from the front.
We are cognizant of the domestic policy challenges that have accumulated over time; and that the lack of adequate public policy responses has made them worse, with a devastating impact on national unity, social cohesion, public trust in government, and economic performance.
We have a grasp of prevailing challenges.
Nigeria’s needs and unmet needs are very huge. Yet hunger, insecurity, poverty and deprivation know no tribe, religion or gender.
With all sense of urgency, we will, pursue aggressively policies programmes and projects to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of all the sectors of the Nigerian economy.
For the North we will do the following:
- a) We will offer immediate and decisive long-lasting and permanent-effect resolution of all security challenges in the North;
-b) Ensure that farmers return to all farmlands for the 2023 farming Season. We will make Nigeria’s arable land in the North her new oil and gold;
-c) As part of our Marshall Plan for Education, we will foster Federal intervention in education at all levels in the North and partnership with State Governments and international organizations in order to improve access to affordable and quality education at all levels;
-d) Ensure very adequate representation in government, equitable appointments especially in the Security and Economic Sectors;
-e) Incentivize the resuscitation of the moribund cotton and textile industries; and full exploration of the cattle economy value chain, notably the $75b global hide and skin economy. Nigeria’s share of the global industry is envisaged to generate over $1bn by 2025;
and finally,
-f) We will ensure very generous deployment and allocation of economic and social projects and infrastructure in the North – with keen attention to Roads, Energy, Power, and Dams- and Solar energy from Sunlight.
In closing, let me say this on record. I have come in peace to develop, to secure, and to unite, and I will do so with every commitment to the growth of Nigeria, as one great and united country.
We shall pay as much attention to the development of the North as to the development of all other parts of the country; but with much greater emphasis on the development of the Agricultural resources.
The North remains where the biggest ad sustainable wealth of this great Nation lies.
If elected President, I shall govern with the fear of God and with all good conscience and intent. The Constitution and the rule of law will always prevail.
I thank you for your kind attention. May Almighty God bless you all and bless Nigeria.
A man can never write this thing you wrote here if is a girl he loves. But look at you showing the world how you are a feminist. Continue!!!
Confusedgirlie: I knew him before leaving the country. He was in Nigeria and was doing quite okay, even though I was earning more than him.
We separated for a while since I wanted to focus a little on my new life. But recently, we connected again. I'm just realizing I still have something for him in spite of the time and distance. But I'm really confused about starting anything because it will mean that I have to bring him over.
What are the chances he won't take advantage of me?
Hahaha APC don't have good punch line. The same integrity you guys told us in 2015 about Buhari is still same integrity you are referring to for Tinubu this coming 2023.
Bros is your wickedness and selfishness that is doing you. What you did to her is unnecessary. Some of my folks find it difficult to leave a girl and focus when you think you can't meet up with her demands. I assure you what you did to her, is possible you can still do it to your wife when you marry.
Alexgman1: In every relationship I find myself, I always try my best to please & satisfy my woman even to my own detriment but it seems no matter what u can never pls a woman. Only few women out there are sincere, loyal & faithful.
My recent & 4th relationship was the most tasking. I fell in love with this girl out of pity & compassion. She was the 1st child of 14 kids. Her mum is late & her dad is based in cameroun with his other 2 wives. I vowed to love & care for her & her sibblings as if they are mine. I sacrificed all i had to make them happy & comfortable.
But the issue is she wanted everynight sex but i couldnt attend to her always. My work was time & energing cosuming so I can't over stress myself. After 1year & a half she left me & went back to her ex. It took me 5 months to get over it.
Recently I called her to come celebrate my birthday with me. I took her to a fast food we eat & drink alot & she even ordered take aways 4 her sibblings. I took excuse to go & do POS & dat was how i left her to pay #24,000 bill.
Bros go get busy. Joblessness is a disease stop bragging about it.
KiNg0G: I lived with my father's brother for a long time. he didn't work one day, all he does in the morning was to wash his mouth, have his bath then have his meal, awaiting his wife to come back from her trade in the market.. Then off she went to prepare another meal.. Staying With them was hell for me because sometimes there was hardly food in the house but my uncle hardly cares about that, it is either he is in one joint with his friends on a sunny day or he is at home listening to radio stations. His wife was the provider and never for once did she insult him...
This same character has gotten into me deeply, I can't help myself. I can't do thing's for myself.
My girlfriend cohabiting with me is the one providing almost everything we need all I do is to give her my G-15 in the evening. I'm always at home 24/7. She's never complained, I love it, for me to get a job and be answering Sir sir to people, I can't.
Stay fresh, bath, eat and sleep is the order of the day.
Few women are like this, just the other day she asked me to come pay her bride price before the year ends, I asked her where would I see the money... baby girl told me not worry that something huge is coming..
I love this freedom, but sometimes I get a mixed feelings of been a liability, ants feeding on sugars. Anyway I'm enjoying myself quite well.
The real thing is my masculinity as the head of the house still intact.
A canal man cannot understand the things of the spirit. Jesus speech is always in parable. Who are the dead in the context? they are sinners. Is not the dead that you know.
YoudeyVexme: I have tried understanding that scripture since I was a kid, till now I still don't understand. Does he mean the owo attack that people died in the church, living members shouldn't have buried them. But leave them there for the dead people to come bury them?
Aboki, just be busy writing rubbish with your cheap data. Peter Obi is making name and history for himself. God get yourself busy with something more valuable, people like you don't even have a PVC.
Its the same IPOB youths that just keep shouting his name up and down. He is not known in the North at all. No one knows him. He cannot get 25% of votes in any northern state. His party has no candidates in the North. They don't have any state chairmen, local government chairmen or even ward members.
No credible politician is associating with him. No one knows him in Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Oyo. He is little known in Edo and Delta. He couldn't even get a Northerner as placeholder. He had to use the only non-Igbo supporting him, who happens to be a discredited politician like Doyin Okupe.
No momentum anywhere. Everything is online and he would not get 2 million votes in the real election. He is just being supported by IPOB members who use cyber bullying as their tactic.
Receive sense he was testing you to know when he goes broke what will your reaction be. You failed it I wish you well because no man in his right senses will do half of what this man you are dumping did for. Ewu
Northboi: Hmm I don't know what ladies of this generation are turning into..
Cleo18: Hello, a fresh graduate just relocated to Lagos in search for job and doesn't have a place of his own for now but squatting with some friends. It seems he's not that comfortable.
He saved some money from his previous job in Enugu before relocating to Lagos in search of a better job.
Presently, he's thinking of enrolling in a cyber security training and ethical hacking tracking with his savings.
Should he get an apartment first before he gets a job or he waits until he gets a job before he rents an apartment? For now, he's squatting with some people and not really comfortable.
The man should go baff abeg. He should stop been a dirty pig.
daylay7: I stumbled on this topic and many women supported it. Is it okay for a woman to starve her husband his conjugal right because he refused to have his bath?
Studying Industrial physics in Nigeria was not a good option at all. I wish I did computer science. Still struggling to foot my bills since 2013 I graduated till now.

l have not acheived the financial buoyancy l desired. l still struggle to pay my bills. l beleive l would have fared better as a lawyer or an accountant. What's your opinion on this?
Maybe around end of the year we will hearing is because of the presidential campaign that's why you guys are experiencing delay in payments. What rubbish
ezenwaez: Reports online confirms that the delay in the approval of the financial budget by the Federal Government of Nigeria and the President is the primary reason for the delay in January and February stipend payment. Their are speculations that the President might approve the budget by Friday 1st of April, if the budget can be approved by the stipulated date, then Npower Batch C Volunteers should start seeing changes on the Npower NASIMS payroll status by April. The Npower NASIMS management apologizes for the delay in the January and February stipend and states that the delay is not from them but from the President approving the National Social Investment Programme budget.
Npower money cannot be saved to achieve anything. Na so person go they borrow to help him or her go to their PPA. Immediately the money enter phiam u are paying back ur debt what a yeye country.

Popular Gospel artist Chinedu Nwadike has died in Abuja. He lost the blood cancer battle a few hours ago in Abuja.
The golden voice had fully recovered from the kidney issue and is supposed to be in India by this coming week for treatment of the blood cancer - Leukemia.

God bless the good Nigerians that came to his aid.
Because girls are not well trained, some don't have good character. Some of them don't like to cook. They are after urgent 2k than the value they are supposed to bring to the table.
Truvelisback: Good day, Fellas. Why are guys losing interest in settling down?
My question is are they now looking at physique and not brains again. Nawaoo for this shit hole.
MosakuAW: A lady @ogolomaoluchi took to Twitter to narrate how a fancy Hotel rejected her on the day of interview because she was too short for the Job.
Have you ever been rejected for a job because of your height or disabilities and what is your take on this rejection?
Starberg: The National Assembly passed the bill for State to generate their electricity.
These are my views:
1. This will break the monopoly of Discos 2. The State Governors will have no where to hide their inadequates. 3.The people will know whom and where to lodge their complaints. 4.The state governments would want to compete with one another by looking into other source of power like solar etc. 5. Price of services will fall like barbing, photocoping etc. 6. Investors would want to invest in states with adequate electricity supply 7. It will be used as one of the criteria to judge a parforming Governor. 8. Las las Ghana will stop mocking us with light 9. Less attention will be focused on fuel.
chatinent: I was coming back last week and some robbers robbed me and cleared my account on gunpoint...haven't you been noticing I have emaciated..but baby I didn't want to tell you so you wouldn't think I am dodging all these your bills even as I'll love to assist you but it's fine...God will help me. All I need is prayers.
People Will Be Jobless — Actress Olaide Oyedeji Says After A Robot Served Her Food At A Restaurant (Video)
Popular Nollywood actress, Olaide Oyedeji, has stated that technological advancement will make people lose their jobs in the future, IGBERETV reports.
Olaide Oyedeji who had a meal at a restaurant was shocked after the food was served to her at her table by a robot instead of a waiter or waitress that she is already used to.
Sharing the video on her Instagram handle, she wrote;
In my case NPower October payment status is displaying failed and I received alert for November.
ezenwaez: If you are an Npower Batch C volunteer and you were paid previous months but your November payroll status is currently displaying "failed", please be rest assured that it is being treated and you will be paid extremely soon. The "failed" payroll status is not because there is something wrong with your account, your bank account is fine and perfect, the reason for the failed payment is just a minor network glitch when payment was disbursed to the concerned Npower volunteer, the entire process will be reversed as the Nigeria Inter Bank Settlement Scheme and the recipients' banks are aware of the situation. This reverse process might just take a little delay, but the payment will be rolled back and the Npower beneficiary will soon begin to see credit alert, please do not because of being anxious fall into the hands of online predators and tricksters looking for gullible Npower volunteers to cart away their money, just exercise patience and you will be paid.
State001: Singer Banky W has reacted to a Federal High Court’s declaration that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to conduct marriages, declaring as illegal and invalid, all solemnisation of unions at the Ikoyi marriage registry, Lagos, Igbere TV reports.
The singer reached out to his wife Adesua Etomi on Monday, drawing her attention to the new development.
Igbere TV reports that the court presided over by Justice D. E. Osiagor, also held that only the local government marriage registries are empowered to do such by the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
He submitted that the conduct of marriages and issuance of certificates were statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law.
The judge added that the acts of the federal government through the Ministry of Interior, operating marriage registries was beyond their powers and all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents were illegal and invalid.
