Nigeria needs help, God willing we'll get it right next year.

Vulturereloaded:
1) They have little or no responsibility.

You can't be a married man in the present day Nigeria and be rooting for tinubu or APC.

2) They dont own cars.

You cant be buying 4 litters of mobile oil at 10,000 against 2500 in 2015, to service you car, and be voting for Tinubu.

3) they dont travel

You cant be spending 60,000 on local flight and be supporting tinubu.

4) They are dependent

Most of them depend on their parents for support. You can't be paying the current rent, and running your own home and be rooting for Tinubu.

I remember engaging on of them in a thread, and he said his family is not affected by the APC administration.

He said his parents are retired pensioners. And i ask him, what was the value of their pension in dollars in 2015, and what is the value today. He ran away.

5) They dont live in good environments.

Those that live in good environments are worried about insecurity. Because they know that hardship fuels insecurity. But the supporters of Tinubu, reside in the areas that insecurity emanate from.

6) They have no vision

Anybody that has a vision to succed in life, knows that the direction of the country, will not fulfil their dreams. Only people who have no vision for their lives will vote a party that has failed in all areas.

7) they are mainly muslims.

They feel that they will continually dominate christians by being in power.

God bless you for this post.

Sometimes I ask myself, what kind of creature would see the current state of the economy and still be campaigning for APC?

Take 10k to the market to cook a standard soup.and you'd be shocked that less than 500 would follow you back home. It's that bad.

I was discussing with a friend and was complaining to him about my reoccurring bills and how it keeps climbing up, before 3k on prepaid meter gives me about 90 units. Now 5k gives me less that 75 units, should we talk about data, fuel, house rent, car maintenance, cost of running the home.... etc.

Most Nigerian graduates in their 30s are still in their parents house because of hardship, many can't marry because they're not financially buoyant to cater for a home...there are no jobs, I chat with my course mates Evey now and then, it's one complain or the other. The economy is strangling the youths.

Most of these people coming online to shout Tinubu are teenagers like you rightfully pointed out, they come home and eat mama thank you ma, steal their parents money or beg for data and come online to shout APC.

No reasonable Nigerian who is feeling the heat of this administration whether Igbo, yourba or hausa would vote APC next year, because tinubu is part of the problem we're facing.

He's not far from the Truth. America has become the world capital of sexual immorality, psychos, wayward children, racism... etc.

Honestly, if not that Nigeria is far worse, I doubt if Nigerians would be paying millions to relocate there permanently.

So why is he telling us?

Nigerians know the right thing. They know that APC has failed woefully, they know that tinubu's presidency would be a continuation of where Buhari stopped and even worse...they know all these but tribe and religion wouldn't allow them make a rational decision.

In 2015, the oba of Lagos threatened to throw Igbos into the lagoon if they don't vote for APC, what change has the APC been able to

The Lagos Tinubu is bragging with is the 4th worse city to live in the world. Despite the billions the city generates on a daily basis...isn't that a shame?

I've been saying this and I'll keep saying it. If Tinubu wins, businesses in Lagos would fold up, cos touts would be legalized to collect dues from them on a daily basis, you will settle touts after buying things from the market, you'll settle them for walking in areas they control whether you're on foot on in your private car, you must pay them.

Nigerians don't understand what a Tinubu presidency means to them until he enters and starts taxing the little income you're using to manage yourself, that's when reality would dawn on them.

Tinubu is the presidential candidate who has spent the highest money so far, and he's still spending, just bear it in mind that once he enters, his first tenure would be to tax Nigerians massively to recover back his capital while he's second tenure would be for profit.

If you think you're suffering under Buhari, wait till Tinubu enters and you'll know the true meaning of suffering.

Don't mind him. He thinks we're all desperate to contact HIV.

Gunayo:
Do you know maybe they don't have a governorship candidate, that's why he didn't go there to mobilise for his party. Continue to be Obidient and never go astray

They have....this is his poster.

He was a former deputy speaker of Osun state house of assembly.

Creamypie:
na full historian you dey yarn with o, back to why they attacked late, France hadn't payed u.s for their efforts in ww1. They fully paid it in 1990s. I only yarn less than 0.5 % of what l learnt, am at work, may be later. I will still tell you that at midnight June 6 1944, when ops overlord was declared, France Belgium, Poland, Holland, etc were under Nazis occupation.

Same here...till the dusk then.

techWriter3:
He explained Anything but the true, stay underrating Peter sash and going your shock on reelection week

Peter Obi would have more votes than Kwankwaso in next year's election. I can bet with anything.

Creamypie:
at midnight, June 6 1944, the whole of Europe was under German control, when it was enforced under Dwight Eisenhower, and cliff Montgomery. Then, it was only Soviets that was remaining for Germans to take... France, Poland, Netherland, belgium.et all, were under nazis. Remember Charles de gaulle was already in exile.

Did you ask why the allies initiated the D-Day operation?

It's because of Hitler's final loss at the Kursk. The German military was greatly weakened, (remember they have been fighting since 1939 when the war started, and by 1944, the bulk of their experienced fighters were all dead) this is when the allies decided to size that opportunity by reopening the European front and liberating the countries under the control of the Nazis.

Even Eisenhower admitted that landing paratroopers across Western Europe would have been disastrous if the Germany army hadn't been terribly weakened by the red army.

Ok let me shock you... Japan carried out the Pearl harbor attack on US fleet in December 1941, why were the Americans afraid of a direct confrontation with Germany till 1944?

All through that period USA were just sending supplies to her allies but not manpower, they focused their might on Japan until it became clear to them that Germany was finished that's when they sent a combined force of US, British, Cannada, Australia... etc to Normady for D-Day operation.

goodheart02:
How can US with thousands of nuclear stockpiles be afraid of Russia’s nuclear power?

US would not use nukes on Russia cities because of their civilian population, USA has a high respect for human lives, but Putin wouldn't blink twice if the opinion of nuking New York, Texas or California presents Itself regardless of it's high civilian population.

That's the difference between both of them, and that's why the US are threading softly and cautiously. They're more concerned about human lives.

Creamypie:
invasion of Germany by allied forces through Normandy, france called " operation overload" was the primary reason Nazis couldn't conclude their quest for Soviet Union, cos it was like fighting from two fronts.. east and west.

Lol...Normandy invasion was in 1944, by then Germany had already lost the war, they were just fighting to keep their heads from drowning. Hitler had executed Erwin Rommel (one if the brightest German field marshal whom even the allies respected) and other high ranking generals. They lacked man power.

The Invasion of the Solvet union was done around June 1941 when the 3rd Reich (German high command) was at the height of it's power. They swept through the cities of Russia and were brought to a complete halt at the beginning of the winter. And since they weren't equipped for a winter warfare, they suffered fom logistics problems, supplies couldn't get to them, the Russians countered them by January 1942 and pushed them back.

If you must know, the Western allies didn't win WW2, Russia won it. Cos even the German high command admitted that they lost more than 70% of their manpower on the Eastern front.

The battle of Normandy was just to liberate France from Germany control after it became obvious that they had lost the war. The battles of Starlingard and Kursk alone, claimed more than 10 million lives including civilians.

Perfectbeing:
Tinubu have the belief that he need to win 40% of the North and 70% of the SW tp win the election. The belief is not out of reality.

No Southerner needs the NW and NE to win an election provided they're United. Buhari had the undisputed support of the NE and NW in 2011 how did that turn out. He had to align with the SW before he could win in 2015. But Jonathan won in 2011 without northern support.

For a Southerner to win an election in Nigeria he needs the votes of all 3 southern zones, SS, SE and SW, then win at least 3 NC States and Abuja. This will ensure his victory.

The north sees themselves as election deciders because they know that Southerners aren't United, so they play on our intelligence by making foolish Southern leaders crawl and beg them for endorsement even if it means selling out their own people.

There's nothing special about Russia. The west is just afraid of their nukes.

Without those nukes, there's nothing special about the Russia military. Hitler and his tiny Germany invaded them in WW2 when they were still solvet union and about 10 times the size of Germany; and almost succeeded if not for the Russian winter and logistics problems.

NATO can take on Russia in an invasion warfare but if Russia decides to deploy their nukes on American and British cities, the tide of the battle would change, cos no one is ready to gamble millions of lives of her citizens over a war that could have been avoided.

This is what America and her allies are afraid of.

uthlaw:
all this is not necessary... We should go our separate ways!

If you're squatting with someone and you're feeling uncomfortable there but you have an uncompleted building without doors, roof, windows...etc.

Would you relocate to that dangerous place with your family or would you endure your ordeal with those you're putting up with pending when your own building would be conducive enough to house you and your family.

This is how it is. The SE currently depends on the federal government allocation for survival, I doubt if any SE state can survive independently outside federal government allocation, therefore declaring Independence under such circumstances would be suicidal.

HedwigesMaduro:
Kwankwaso is terrible, but he's not worse than buhari. As a matter of fact, no living thing can be as bad as buhari.

The sad thing is Peter Obi has never mentioned Kwankwaso's name in any of his interviews. He spends his interviews providing solutions to problems and challenges the country is facing.

I watched one of his interview with voice of the people anchored by Rufai on YouTube when asked about a possible merger with NNPP, he wasn't specific with his response and just said they're in talks with a lot of people and that was it.

For Kwankwaso to come out openly and declare that Peter Obi cannot be president speaks a lot about the kind of person he is.

Cos he wants Obi to be his vice, if Obi becomes he's vice after 8 years what next, he has already said the north wouldn't vote for an Igbo man so why should an Igbo man support him to achieve his dream when he has declared openly that he won't reciprocate.

PlayerMeji:
Hmmm... Una eyes don dey clear..

Obi is not a sellable product.

But an interesting question is, all of you who have begun to call Kwankwaso names, he is a bigot, he is stupid, this and that... If he decides to change his mind tomorrow and follow your Obi, will he automatically no longer be a stupid and idiotic bigot again?

Next time try and read and understand a post properly before hitting the reply button. Stop trying to display your low IQ wherever you go, at least pretend to be smart.

ASUU is on strike, Gas is over 1k per kg, disel is over N800 per liter, insecurity is at its peak with kidnappings and killings going on across the country on a daily basis, electricity is epileptic, our roads are death traps, unemployment is at its all time highest, Inflation keeps rising like ijebu garri, and APC are campaigning for election admist all these.

Those people get mind sha.

wingmanIII:
Kwankwoso has always been a bigot. He is much worse than Buhari

Exactly, he claims to be a PhD holder and an engineer, but his IQ level is very low. Religion and tribalism has eaten deep into a large portion of his brain.

Cypress042:
The truth still stands, Obidient people are never afraid of the unknown and that's it

I'm not afraid of anything as an Obident. But like I said on another thread.

I'm beginning to feel discouraged at Peter Obi's campaign strategy, the Osun election is just weeks away and he hasn't gone there to campaign for the LP candidate, he did the same thing during the Ekiti elections. We know that LP cannot win the Governorship election in Osun, but putting up a good fight would make Nigerians believe that they're ready for the presidential election next year. If he doesn't liase with other LP aspiring candidates, how does he expect to mobilize grassroot support next year?

This is what gives me worry...you can't be a one man mopol and expect to win an election. He has to go to the ground and reach out to the people, Twitter can be deceitful.

Samunique:
[/b]

The bold is what Tinubu is failing to understand for his proposed Muslim Muslim ticket, he's being deceived that only core north Muslims can win presidential election for people in Nigeria.

He's being led to political slaughter, I pray he realizes this early bcs I don't want power to return to the north come 2023.

Exactly, if the Christian section of the NC rally round him and he has massive support from the SE, SS and SW, he'll win. Jonathan did it. The collation of the NE and NW cannot win an election.

peepydelano:
He said nothing but the truth, keep overrating Peter obi and get your shocker on election day.

What truth did he say?

Can the entire NW give Kwankwaso the ticket to Aso Rock? I feel Seun the Channels TV anchor was kind of scared to drill him more during the interview.

Kwankwaso has only Kano state as it stands, and he lost his Senatoral reelection, Guanduje despite his open display of corruption literally controls Kano state.

So what makes Kwankwaso believe he's a better option to the Nigerian populace than Peter Obi?

uthlaw:
You have a wonderful Presidential candidate and you’re eager to have him become president.

But you must all kneel at the door step of one particular ethnic group from one particular section of the country to validate and support you.

You don’t have a country. You’re a slave.

The north made it look this way because they know that we Southerners aren't United.

If we unite, believe me, the north wouldn't smell power again and they would be the ones coming down south to kneel and beg for support.

Cypress042:
If that's truly what kwankwanso uttered, then he's not fit to rule Nigeria

That's what he said... go to YouTube and search for the interview is about 21 minutes. I watched it from the beginning to the end. He spent all the time allocated to him to tell us why the average northern voter would never vote for an Igbo man.

Is that the kind of person we want to trust Nigeria with?

Bendeco02:
Oga don't say what you don't know.. How will you say that north central (middle belt) voted massively for Jonathan?


Check the statistics/results again... Howmany middle belt states did jonathan won in 2015?

Don't forget that Niger state, kwara, Kogi, Benue, adamawa are among the middle belt you said they massively vote for Jonathan.

Jonathan only won Plateau, nasarawa and taraba while buhari won the rest.... Don't just come here and be dropping rubbish analysis.

The only regions jonathan won in 2015 is South east and south south.

Middle belt is the key for both Northern/Southern Candidates.

I meant the Christian section of the NC, the Muslim section of the NC would always align to a fellow Muslim.

I watched with disdain the channels TV interview of the NNPP'S presidential candidate Kwankwaso and shook my head at the level we have degenerated to as a Nation.

Kwankwaso was brought to face the public to address challenges facing the country and provide solution based on his capicity and a possible merger between him and LP candidate Peter Obi, but rather than focus on the challenges which Nigerians are facing, he openly declared that Peter Obi cannot win an election because he's an Igbo man and the north wouldn't vote for an Igbo man because of the biafra agitation.

Need I remind you that IPOB was birthed in 2014 and we're fully operational in 2019 when him (Kwankwaso) and Atiku came to campaign in the SE under the PDP umbrella. The SE voted massively for Atiku even with the biafra agitation.

To be honest, Kwankwaso would be worse than buhari if given the opportunity to rule this country, any person that sees another Nigerian as inferior to them shouldn't be trusted with leadership.

I'm a Southerner, if Peter Obi would not win next year's election, let Tinubu win it, enough of all these northerners and their arrogance. And yes we Southerners can render the north politically irrelevant if we work together and align with the Christian states of the NC Jonathan did it in 2011 when he cleared all SE, SS, SW and part of the NC States. Buhari with all his popularity cleared the NE and NW and lost. They need us more than we need them, we just need to be United.

Thebadpolitican:
Due to fear we tend to overestimate the northern vote
Take a good look at the election result between gej and buhari in 2011, and 2016 you will spot a thing from it
In 2011 election the North massively voted for buhari and lost, in 2016 the south and north voted for buhari together and this time he won

Goodluck won the 2011 election because the middle belt voted for him, where we get it wrong is calling and tagging the middle belt north central which they find insulting any candidate who can win the heart of the middle belt between the south and the North has automatically won the election, the battle ground between the South and the North has always been there, the north is even more afraid of the southern vote than we are afraid of theirs so they employ all manner's of voting
Power

I see obi wining with clear victory come 2023

It was 2015 not 2016.

And you forgot something very important. The entire SS, SE, NC and SW voted massively for Jonathan in 2011 that's why he won.

By 2015, the SW alined with the NE, and NW and even though the SS, SE and NC voted Jonathan massively again, he lost.

Jonathan won 4 geopolitical zones in 2011 and Buhari won 2. By 2015 he and Buhari won 3 each but because the north had more registered voters he lost.

There are 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria, for now Peter Obi is only controlling just one which is the SE and this happens to be the least populated zone. The SS is divided between him and Atiku so he would most likely not catch all the SS votes.

The NC would most likely rally to him because he's a Christian and they've been persecuted by bandits, fulanis...etc.

This leaves us with the SW, NE and NW. The SW would vote for Tinubu without question, although Peter Obi would catch a reasonable number of votes from Lagos, but would loose the remaining SW states.

The NE and NW, this would be the deciding factor cos they have the highest number of registered voters. Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tinubu would struggle for votes here.

The reality here is that if Peter Obi wants to win, he must make a deal with the SS, if he has the SE, SS and NC in his pocket, he has clearly won.

But I'm beginning to feel discouraged at his campaign strategy, the Osun election is just weeks away and he hasn't gone there to campaign for the LP candidate, he did the same thing during the Ekiti elections. We know that LP cannot win the Governorship election in Osun, but putting up a good fight would make Nigerians believe that they're ready for the presidential election next year. If he doesn't liase with other LP aspiring candidates, how does he expect to mobilize grassroot support next year?

This is what gives me worry...you can't be a one man mopol and expect to win an election.

One local flyover after 7 years in office, and people are celebrating. Who did this to the black man.

The only problem I have with this his decision is that he's doing it for a girl and not because he's convinced of has an inner conviction to change.

What if the girl leaves him tomorrow, so he'll hop back to the church?

That your cousin is very confused and dangerous, people like him are capable of making dangerous decisions provided it would give him comfort for a while, stay away from him.

Stop trying to impress them, that act alone activates their hard to get mood, and you'd end up torturing yourself unnecessarily. The era of impressing ladies is long gone. Girls of this era don't fall for those shit anymore.

Just act normal around them and try not to be a hopeless romantic who would drop 15 missed calls and 20 WhatsApp messages. If you two vibe well, they'll come around, if you don't, be the one to withdraw, don't go crawling around her begging for her love, you'll end up regretting it cos she won't take you serious.

Stephen0mozzy:
How do people rent a "flat" and cannot afford a TV? or you mean a room in the flat?

Meanwhile, them wan set up up...maybe even give you a need to book doctor's appointment

TV is even too much sef. Ordinary 4k plus would get her a full month subscription on Netflix and she can watch all the telemundo she wants on her phone or laptop.

ogaJona:
I've been living in this compound for a year, then a new neighbor and his girlfriend packed in the other flat. They have been there for 3 months. Recently the girlfriend started coming into my house to watch the telemundo series on daily basis, as they are yet to get a tv. This has really been uncomfortable for me as i have to miss my favorite tv programs for her to watch her series. The boyfriend is not even bothered of her girlfriend being in the house of another single guy. Please how do I stop her from visiting without looking bad. This is really uncomfortable for me, I need suggestions. Admin please I will appreciate if this is pushed to front page.

If you're too weak and scared to tell a girl, whose a stranger to you that you're no longer feel comfortable with her coming, I feel you should go back to your parents house cos you're not psychologically matured to be classified as a man.
