Politics › Re: Uber Facts Releases More Details About Tinubu's US Drug Case by obailala(m): 2:02pm On Apr 11, 2023

The unfortunate thing about all these is that no matter how gruesome or filthy the exposures are, for the very fact that Nigeria is a lawless country with a faulty value system, the candidate involved will still be sworn in on May 29th and will very likely rule the country for the next 4-8 years.

The only people who end up suffering are ordinary Nigerians at airports and border points...

Politics › Re: So You Really Think Tinubu Is A Drug Baron? by obailala(m): 8:40pm On Apr 10, 2023

Draslo:
Fake news or should I say a wrongful interpretation of a certain piece of news is more dangerous than all the combined nuclear war heads on the planet.

It is public information that Bola Ahmed Tinubu graduated from a college and then a university both in Chicago with the penultimate being Chicago State University in 1979 with a BSc in Accounting. By 1983, he joined Mobil Oil Nigeria, abi? This means that 4 years after he graduated from university, right? So was it during those 4 years that he became a drug baron? There are actual companies he worked during those 4 years. An accounting firm Authur Anderson, GTE, a very popular telephone company and Deloitte which some has presence in Nigeria. Deloitte also offers financial and accounting services. Now, this was all before he returned to Nigeria. This means Tinubu has only worked in the corporate world before joining politics.

If you truly believe Tinubu trafficked heroin, then why wasn't he jailed? Is it common practice for drug traffickers to forfeit money to the government and go scot free, if you forfeit your proceeds, you will only get reduced jail time and even that is not sure. Isn't it possible the reason Tinubu is involved in that case because he was employed to handle money, proceeds from drug trafficking. This is a crime almost no accountant is innocent for. Accountants cannot deny this. That's why there are tax havens and secret banking laws around the world because the whole banking industry worldwide is corrupt. This was what Tinubu appeared in court for. Mind you, this court case must have been for crimes committed during when he worked for one of the American financial firms. This is obviously from one of their clients because where else do Cartels get their offshore accounts?

Tinubu being called a drug baron started when he joined Nigerian politics and because of political banter from opposition politicians dished out fake news of Bola Ahmed Tinubu being a drug baron controlling an imaginary drug cartel whilst still being consulted in the corporate world and building a political standing for himself.

What seemed like harmless political banter has undergone metamorphosis into full brown fake news. Fake news that people truly believe. It is sad really. Fake news might end the world not nuclear warheads.

As an accountant earning under $3000 monthly in your place of work, you 'mistakenly' or 'unknowingly' shared same apartment with wanted drug barons and these drug barons somehow paid you over $1million to work on their accounts and you want to claim you were still doing "ordinary accounting work"?

I'm beginning to see this dude as a hypocrite, always looking to score political point. I'm not sure if this guy have ever spoken against the Monday sit at home, or the killing going on in his state, but is always "very concerned" and "deeply saddened" once it comes to others state, condemning and pointing fingers when you are also guilty of the same offence.

Again, he's very right about the killing going on there,it's too much,and something should be done ASAP!

This one is equating the monday sit-at-home problem with the grusome massacre of hundreds of people within a 3 week period.

The way political sentiment drains the reasoning faculty of some Nigerians is something that needs to be studied.

Why's Obi not speaking Abt the killing going on SE and the drug menace...
...

Meanwhile you asked what OBI has said about the killings in the SE? OBI has on countless occasion addressed the issue same way he addressed the similar issue of killings in the north. OBI has stated numerous times that poverty, youth unemployment and perceived injustices are the primary causes of agitations which often lead to these misguided killings and violence (and this cuts across the SE, north, SS and SW). This is also why he focused his campaign on providing employment and eradicating poverty...

OBI also said numerous times that his approach to the insecurity would be to dialogue with agitators (both in the SE, north, everywhere) because agitators usually do so out of perceived injustices. He also said he would revamp the police and military; improving personnel welfare, upgrading working equipment and most importantly, restructuring the police heirarchy. OBI has always bee a vocal advocate of multi-level policing (i.e. restructuring the security apparatus to achieve policing at the local level); he has numerous times pointed this out as his planned approach to dealing with the insecurity not just in the SE, but all around the country.

OBI repeated these things like a thousand times during his campaigns but I'm not surprised that you never heard them; you were busy focusing on his accent and looking for what to attack him with because you just hate the man.

Oga, we are talking of poverty, and the whole world knows that Nigeria has a major poverty problem with the north being the worst hit region. Everyone says this same thing everyday, I can point out where ATIKU, BUHARI, SANUSI and other prominent Nigerians said the very same thing without any uproar. Why is it a problem now because OBI has mentioned the same thing?

If the topic of discussion is on drug trafficking, yes people of all tribes traffic drugs but from statistics, Igbos do it the most. Anyone who's angry because such a statement was made is an idiot (you can quote me anywhere); similarly anyone who's angry that someone said "the north has the worst poverty rate in Nigeria" is also an idiot.. But hey! we aren't talking about drug trafficking or even crime here, we're talking about poverty and education and when you solve these 2 problems, you solve a host of other problems bedeviling Nigeria. Acknowledging that the problem exists is the first step to solving it; denying the existence of the problem is foolishness!

So between greed and poverty which one is damaging the country reputation more....

There are alot of Africa countries that're so poor and you hardly see them engage in fraud or any form of crime when they leave the country they won't still commit crime....

Stop justifying crime is better to av a poor family than av a family soaked with crime where you can't even go outside and mention your family name....

One day you can break the yoke of Poverty while it will be so hard to break the bad names you've given your family through crime...

I never justified crime anywhere! The thread focuses on 'poverty', and then you mentioned 'drug trafficking'. I clarified it to you that the crime of drug trafficking is a product of GREED, not exactly POVERTY. I'm not sure how you twisted that to mean 'justifying crime', so please stop making pointless insinuations.

Now back to focusing on the topic of discussion being our 'poverty' crisis.

1. Is there a problem of poverty in Nigeria or not?
2. Is Nigeria the poverty capital of the world or not?
3. Is the north not the region of Nigeria worst hit by the poverty problem?
4. If we shift focus to the literacy aspect, is the north not the educationally most disadvantaged part of Nigeria?

If the above points are true, why then do you people want OBI's head for simply repeating factual issues that everyone already knows about?

Did Atiku not also say the north has a poverty problem? Did Sanusi also not say the north has a poverty problem? Did Buhari not also admit that the north has a poverty problem (even to the point of asking the world bank to focus their poverty alleviation schemes in the north)?... If not for hatred or just political bigotry, how then did it suddenly become a crime or an insult because OBI re-echoes the very same issues that everyone already knows?

Oga theres a difference between GREED and POVERTY.

Greed is the reason why people traffic drugs, not poverty. A person in abject poverty wouldnt even have the means to leave the country, let alone getting involved in drug trafficking.

Meanwhile, when did it become a secret that the north is the poverty capital of Nigeria? Since when did it become an in insult to say this? Or is it because it is OBI that mentions it? Why do you people hate this man so much?

Those people insulting OBI are the real idiots who just hate the truth; they're simply insulting OBI out of tribal bigotry, nothing else...

Since when did it become a hidden fact that the north has the highest poverty index in Nigeria? isnt it the same thing Sanusi and Atiku and even Buhari talks about everyday? It's now suddenly a hate crime or insult because OBI mentions it? If that's not tribal bigotry, then I wonder what it is.

Similarly, who on earth doesnt know the north has a massive illiteracy problem? One second, you're fighting to retain the useless quota system by claiming to be educational disadvantage, the next second, they're claiming to be the poorest to receive Buhari's N5000 handouts, but suddenly OBI mentions poverty in the north and it becomes an abomination?....

The kind of desperate hatred these northerners have for OBI is really disturbing. Is it not true that the north is the poverty capital of Nigeria?

Politics › Re: Lai Mohammed Accuses Peter Obi Of Treason by obailala(m): 12:17pm On Apr 04, 2023*

OBI never made any statement about Tinubu not being sworn in.

OBI never made any statement regarding an interim govt.

OBI never asked any of his supporters to engage in any protest of any kind. In fact OBI actually admonished his supporters to remain calm especially since the case is in court.

OBI only said he believes he won the election and will prove this in court.

Except if filing of a case in the tribunal is treason, I'm not sure I understand why these APC agbado mob keep running around like headless chickens over OBI's matter. Una don win election yet una still dey see OBI for dream every night.

Apparently you still have not comprehended my point. Maybe I should break it down to elementary level for you.

Nigeria's total debt is currently about $103billion and $4billion of that amount which was from China was used for those projects listed above. Your perception about whether the projects are standard or not is absolutely inconsequential and an argument for another day; what matters is that the projects exist, we can see them, we can feel them and they are functional!

What you should be worried about is what the remaining $99bn was used for. It's actually nauseating hearing everyone talk about a measly $4bn (which was used for real projects) but no one's talking about $99bn which vanished into thin air.

Where did you read these $90bn and $4bn from??

The news says China's loan to Nigeria constitute 84.73% of all the loans given to Nigeria by all countries.

Nigeria also has a massive debt burden from the IMF / World bank too; foreign loans aren't only from 'countries'. I even made a mistake there; Nigeria's total debt is actually $103bn as at 31st december 2022 (not $90bn). You might argue that only $41.7bn of that amount is our foreign debt but then, $4bn from china is still less than %10 of our total foreign debt.

take a wholistic view. it is Not about the 4billion but the rapidity at which the amount keeps increasing and the speed+ease at which the government runs to get these loans. Almost like it is now a default setting. This is the worry.
If we keep going at this rate then that 90 billion will become a midget compared to what our chinese debt would be.

Rapidity of it's increase? In 8 years we talking $4bn compared with a total debt stock of $103 billion, and you really think it's the $4bn from China (which were actually used for visible projects) that we should be worried about?..... Nigerians are just experts at focusing on the wrong things!

With the way everyone focuses on only these Chinese loans, I suspect some kind of conspiracy from disgruntled corrupt govt officials who desperately hate and will do anything to frustrate these China loans cos these are the only loans they can't steal from. Or how else do you explain that out of $103 billion total debt, no one seems to be worried about the $99 billion which apparently vanished into thin air, but everyone's worried about $4bn which were actually used for visible projects?

Like I said before, the Chinese loans are about the best loans Nigeria has ever taken possibly since 1960. They apparently are the only loans which we can see the projects they were used for so I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "scam"... I dont do such generalisations without tangible reasons. If you talking of scam loans, we should be asking ourselves what the remaining over eighty something billion dollar loans were ever used for cos I cant point to a single project.

The former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba, actually saw this political conundrum of 25% requirement coming and wrote to INEC seeking clarification and also seeking their understanding of Section 134 of the Constitution which states that the winner of a presidential election must get 25% of the casted votes in two-thirds of the States and the FCT. He wrote the letter in January, 2023.

The video above even shows Agbakoba asking the INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, this same question and Festus dodged giving a response. He simply said the INEC Chairman will be the only one who can answer this question and the Chairman will only answer this question after the election is conducted. The video was before the election.

Weeks before the 2023 presidential elections, I stated on a few threads here that the 2023 election (especially the presidential) was a battle between EDUCATION vs. ILLITERACY. Some folks shouted me down and even insulted me for daring to make such statement.

But obviously I was right! The educated and enlightened population regardless of tribe, ethnicity or religion, largely voted OBI, while the uneducated, the agberos and most rural dwellers (mainly uneducated) voted Tinubu and Atiku.

This bizarrely unfortunate trend was amplified in the Lagos governorship election where state sponsored and illiterate louts/agberos violently prevented people who LOOKED educated or LOOKED tidy from voting on the assumption that they must be LP supporters.

The leadership problem in Nigeria clearly isnt ending any time soon, especially given the sheer population of the uneducated.
