Both Europe and Russiaare playing mind games. They are not running out of anything

Why not counter his post intellectually?

Penguin2:
No one is doubting the fact that Lagos holds the HQ of most these Multinationals and big businesses; and most recently, Ogun has been benefiting from the population overshoot from, and its proximity to, Lagos.

It is the reason they all attended Tinubu’s event when invited them. Because no business man would want flex muscles with someone who can withdraw your Certificate of Occupancy and run your business down no matter how big you think you are.

So, my point is, that Lagos holds these things does not mean the CEOs of these businesses are happy with the leadership of Lagos nor the leadership of the country. They know that better and more business friendly policies would have enabled them to maximize profit, which is why every business exists.

So, I need you to separate playing along from support. And I know you have the intellectual capacity to understand what I mean.

Dangote refinery was supposed to be in Ondo or Ogun state, Lagos was the last choice but they moved because the offer was good.

Same with the companies in the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Or ask Oriental Hotel how they got the land they are using right now.

Tinubu and Atiku are friends of the Organised Business Sector. Theu dine with then and the OPS know what they stand to gain from these two individuals.

As for Obi which you skewed this thread to support, it is the opposite. He is not one of them, not representative of them, his official policies even hurt them.

sonature1:
I don't know about Plateau, but Tinubu cannot win Cross River State.

The constitution says that the winner must win 25% votes in 25 states and majority of the votes. I don't see anyone meeting this requirement.

However, I see this election going into a runoff between Atiku Abubukar and Peter Obi.

Getting 25% in 25 states is not a problem for the top 2 candidates

garfield1:
Tinubu can win plateau and cross river

Plateau is a Toss-off. I doubt he will win cross-river. He might get nunbers but winning almost not possible

The list looks valid if you ask me.

Racoon:
First of all, I am fully a Peter Obi enthusiast but I don't subscribed to jaundiced propagation of open malicious lies or use of coercive power to convince anyone who does not agree with my political views. However, the truth must never be disputed.

As a journalist with a reputable newsprint media of Premium Times calibre, absolute fairness & balancing is expected of Fredrick Nwabufo. However, he chooses to remain the efulefu that he has ever been. Others Igbos in this class include Joe Igbokwe, Chimaroke Nnamani, and recently Charles Soludo among many.

The good thing is that, the average Igbo man speaks his man with or with fear or favour hence when we reject evil or brace good, we do it with gusto and sense of sound judgement.

The mods as usual will swiftly moved this biased piece to the front page as Mynd44 selectively did on a thread yesterday, but the revolution is still loading.

By now you should have understood that emotional blackmail does not move me.

I want a truckload of whatever he has been drinking.

Anambra state has poverty rate decline from 53% under peter obi to 14.8% last year (under Obaino).

Don't deceive people

8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.

Atlantis585:
Are you not supposed to be a moderator and therefore unbiased? So disappointed that you expressed your obvious bias for all to see.

But Tinubu won’t be president. You guys need to have some shame supporting a known drug dealer and crook.

Are we back to this?

Reference:
Stop all this nonsense and be objective. The posit was clear.

Sango knows I am just bringing intellectual discourse

GolDRoger:
How has the restriction on importation helped our economy for Close to 8years??

You used rice production as an example, so why is the Price of rice still on the Rise? More than doubled when we were importing them?

When Nigeria first got GSM, it was mad expensive with time, the prices dropped and it is now one if the cheapest in the world.

Rice is reducing though, it presently sells for 31k

plaindealer:
That was one of his many flawed and ill-informed assertions, Atiku.

I don't care for the man, but he's a product of the organized private sector in Nigeria.

OP's write-up did not come from a sound and knowledgeable mind.

Ignorance but he will learn a thing or two

LagosEmir:
You're the mod and would push whatever you like to front page , but know that the Market woman on the street that will vote Peter Obi over Tinubu is not on Nairaland

The topic here is Organised Private Sector not market women.

Do you have a short attention span or ADHD?

LagosEmir:
I think it's only fair that you give room for Level playing ground for all the 3 front runners to sell there candidates instead of taking side with Tinubu. Tinubu will never be president no matter how hard you try to push for him.

Weird. One would think I took sides with Atiku and Tinubu and not Obi but yeah, you have an agenda to push, push it well

plaindealer:
The organized private sectors are Nigerian industrialists and entrepreneurs, they are on the ground in Nigeria taking risks by investing their money, blood, and sweat here in Nigeria while Obi is the opposite, Obi's business is based on the importation, a clear and present danger and threat to the same Nigerian private sector, with people like Obi and his line of work, the private sector will die.

The organized private sector invests their money in Nigeria, the also reinvests to grow their operations here in Nigeria, but Obi doesn't do that, he ships his money abroad to hide in secret tax-free Pandora banks.

Obi is a dangerous parasite and a threat to Nigerian manufacturing and industrial base.

The size and the position of the economy of Lagos and why Lagos is the innovation TECH and startup capital in AFRICA says a lot about Tinubu, his vision and his leadership capabilities.

We saw how the LCC showed him love and respect a few weeks ago.

It's Tinubu, this is a no brainer.

I can't believe the OP really said he doubts Atiku has any relationship with the private sector.

Someone who is a major player there

JoeNL22:
And who told you that the private sector can't support him?

Your comments are an attack on obi......why do you think is policies won't favour local producers?....Is it only imports obi does?

Because obi doesn't brag like Tinubu or Atiku, flying around the world for medical treatments doesn't mean obi is not well rounded in terms of money.

The Tinubu you just mentioned now is flying to France and London for medical rest.....why can't he do the medical rest in Lagos? After now!, his urchins will claim he built Lagos. And Atiku......that guy just want to be privatise anything and everything. The 2 of them are jokers!......whether you like it or not. Peter the rock will recieve the overwhelming support of the private sector. For with God not you. Obi shall be POssible

No points to argue,
No counter argument

Just emotions, anger and bleh.

Okay, you are noticed

1. Tinubu was governor of Lagos. His party governs Lagos and the next industrialized state, Ogun.

The influence of these two states is enough for the private sector to listen to him. Lagos has almost 85% of the headquarters of major corporations and all the HQ of banks in the country.

Lagos hosts the important ports which these sector needs and has also demonstrated making them better by starting need ports in Lekki and Badagry.

Lagos is the largest by population hence their work force and also the largest market for their goods.

2. Atiku is one of the most important people in Nigeria's organised private sector as he is on the top 5 biggest employers of Labor. He is one of them and understands their pains. He is also one of them since he also produces and he knows where the pinch is. When FOREX is a problem, he feels it and knows the pain. He knows the pain of finding the right staff, the pain of getting the raw materials, the same pains other people in the private sector go through

3. Obi is not a producer, he is an importer. He is a risk to local producers as his policies on importing will run them out of business and out of money. He just said he will lift restrictions on importation. Imagine being Kenneth Imasuagbon and after you invest billions in your rice production business, a presidential candidate says he will lift restrictions on rice importation which means your rice will be the most expensive and your investment will probably just die. How do you get behind such a candidate?
