Such a person is a crook and must be treated as such

*Almost all corruption and criminality in Nigeria happen in cash

* kidnappers collect cash

* Armed robbers collect cash

* Criminal elements collect bribe in cash

* Criminal public and civil servants are able to steal and divert public funds if they have access to them in cash

* politicians buy votes in cash

In fact 90% Nigeria security and corruption problems will be solved if cash transactions is completely done away with

Only a poor person or a young person still being spoonfed thinks there's nothing wrong with a N100,000 weekly cash withdrawal limit in a country where possibly over 80% of transactions are still done in cash. You don't get born and just start running; Nigeria isn't ripe yet for such extreme cashless policy. In a typical week, money spent on tranportation, feeding, tipping the ever hailing securiy men at estate gates or restaurant doors and many more mushroom transactions can easily add up to over N100k; many people dont even have bank accounts in Nigeria. So to wake up one morning and arbitrarily fix a N100,000 limit in a whole week? Whoever came up with such policy must be on some hard drugs.

To all Peter Obi’s supporters, may your life be like Anambra state on a Monday.

Can I hear a big amen?

To all ApC supporters, may your lives be as peaceful as Sambisa forest, may you be guarded by the herdsmen guarding Benue state and may you be served by the amiable 'Bandits of the north-west'!

Say Amen!

Beautiful music to my ears...

He actually did well (for the first time) in the BBC interview. No gaffes, nothing to laugh about.

All over twitter and the internet, Tinubu supporters have finally found their voices and are in wild jubilation for the successful completion of the first gaffeless interview - You can clearly tell they all had their hearts in their hands while watching....

Probably if he becomes president, he would have to invite BBC to arrange all his interviews. Cos while his people claim ARISE TV is against him, he's also dodged the NTA townhall and even interviews with his own TVC.

This Reno guy na big mumu

JosephXavier:
Whatever Peter Obi is doing now is what Buhari did in 2015 but Agbado and Mikano people are. now crying blood

Shiloh don start
Followed by Pastor Chris' crossover night

Na the Shiloh appearance I just dey wait for.... Even the Bishop and church members go also collect wotowoto for Agbado and Mikano group hand

Rufai quite often gets over his head but to say he wants to kill Reno (some even say its cos of Mr Obi) has to be the dumbest desperate trash I've come across in a long time.

Meanwhile this is coming from the same Reno who's well known for creating and spreading fake audio and written propaganda tapes for politics. From doctored Amaechi audio to fake Wendel Simlins fabrications against Sanusi.

Dem dey find who to kill for politics, dem no say make dem kill better person na the 'small goat' wey dey exile dey run mouth for twitter?

sonofthunder:
I don't know who you hate. Calling out someone or something doesn't equate hatred so stop being petty.


Rather than responding to issues your are shifting the point.

Okay maybe not hate, but more like an obsession. What issues exactly were you talking about? Obi's campaign schedule? Can his campaign really make you change your mind and support his candidacy?

Or is it his visit to churches? Churches are crowded grounds and it only makes sense for a campaigning politician to be drawn to crowded places to show his face to people. Traditional campaigns arent cheap to organise, and not every contestant has the financial war chest of APC and PDP. Meanwhile nothing stops other candidates from visiting any crowded place of their choice.

sonofthunder:
False sir.

If Atiku or Tinubu attends an Islamic gathering like this, you all will scream islamisation agenda.

Obi is just playing Tetris with you guys.

Better wise up.

If he failed in governing a small nation called Anambra, he'll most likely end up a collosal failure in Nigeria but I will love to be proven wrong.

Question that keeps ringing in my head, if you hate Obi so much, why are you so bothered about his campaign schedule?

What do we call this one? Busy bodyism or just a confused hater?

By the way, if Atiku or Tinubu likezls, they're free to go to any mosque of their choice; infact they're very free to also attend church gatherings - they will equally be accorded same front-row respect as Obi irrespective of theit religious inclination.

Aemmyjah:
Christians putting their hope in man
A politician- a Catholic that does not even share christian beliefs as other groups going from church to church to turn hearts to himself as hope

What does the Bible says?
Cursed is the man that put his trust in fellow man

Imagine being under a curse from God himself?!

Lol... wetin be this ?

I guess I should put my trust in the other shady corrupt fellows instead. At least one of them even speaks in strange tongues (blbla bua bluea) and has anointed men who come on air each time to interpret the gibberish.

sonofthunder:
Has he attended any of the previous years or the hypocrisy in him is currently manifesting ?

Oga, it is called 'campaigning'. You dont go about campaigning when there's no election. During campaigns, you tend to present yourself wherever there's a crowd. If it pains you that Obi has visited several crowded church gatherings, you can tell your candidate to do same.

KingKO22:
The man done cash out.


gullible IPOB should be subjected to psychiatric test for constituting nuisance on cyber space

You think every contestant is a thief and fraudster like your candidate?

Lol.. jokers... They're gradually kicking themselves out and falling into PDP for Atiku. Even Buhari himself may be voting Atiku in 2023. Theres some rumours of several APC NASS members about cross over to PDP too...

The Northerners and tribal politics, FEAR NORTH!

lhordspy:
An outrageous Pension bill for ex-govs. was passed under his administration with him been fully in support of it. Infact he clamoured strongly for it .
Then on completion of his tenure, when he should start exploiting from the dubious bill he himself orchestrated. He rejected it all, as an ex-Gov himself.

It means just one thing only: he had stolen enough.

You claim he clamoured for it yet he rejected it? Isnt that counterintuitive?

Hatred for the man Obi (due to politics or ethnicity) keeps making people reason upside down.

The very fact that he rejected it amd never touched the devilish allowances proves to any sensible person that he was opposed to it.

jagtinic:
What happened to Imran Khan?

I dont care who Imran is or what happened to him and I'm not sure why you're obsessed with Imran. I just told you who Obi is and what he's capable of doing.

Besides, are you suggesting I should vote in compromised individyals because I'm worried a devilishly greedy assembly will try to frustrate Obi? What sort of counterintuitive logic would that be?

jagtinic:
Do you know Imran Khan?

Obi broke the yoke of the devilish greedy assembly men in Anambra, he will break the evil yoke again on the centre stage once the people stand by him.

90% of educated and enlightened Nigerians choose Obi; this explains why Obi consistently wins all online polls.

Unfortunately, the uneducated and unenlightened populace have always made up the bulk of voters in past election, and these are the people who may tilt the election to Tinubu/Atiku.

Owo Dey Plenty : Nigerians Show Confidence In APC As Party Raises N190m In Less Than Two Minutes Of Launching Crowd Funding

What other word can you use to describe confidence? What other explanation can you offer for people's allegiance to a political party? What other way may people demonstrate trust at a party?

The APC has just broken a fundraising record in the annals of our political history. Today at The Civic Center, V.I, Lagos, the APC Presidential Campaign Council unveiled a crowdfunding APP for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima and in less than two minutes raised over, N190m. Considering that no individual can donate more than N50 million, this is good news for the APC and a big boost to the ruling party.

This demonstrates that Nigerians believe in the ability of the APC presidential candidate and his running mate to make Nigeria better. It's a question of putting your money where your mouth is; we recently learned that South East businessmen gave N1 billion to Tinubu/ Shettima's candidacy, and now the crowdfunding is picking up like UP MAD.

While the LP celebrated raising ten million in 24 hours, the APC, which the opposition claims Nigerians are sick of, raised 192 million in a matter of minutes.

What else can we say except that the APC has been accepted by the general public, that action talks louder than words, and that Nigerians have taken affirmative action that has dwarfed their voices?

Obviously! What else can be expected from the gang of thieves? One can bet that 99% of that amount was donated by tainted fellows who have access to the national treasury. This exactly is the story Nigerians are fighting to change with the Obi-Datti ticket; the age-long narrative that leadership positions are the exclusive reserve of moneybag polithiefcians (and their anointed puppets) is exactly what Nigerians want to change with the Obi-Datti ticket.

jagtinic:
Peter Obi has promised that he will reduce cost of governance if he is elected president.

How can he achieve this considering the Senate and house of representatives will be in the hands of APC/PDP?

Someone should please tell me how he will achieve this without the backing of parliament.

Note that even in the USA without the backing of the legislature a president cannot achieve much.

He did the same in Anambra. He had no member in the HOA and the members were all against him at the start, but guess what? He prevailed!

As a leader, once your decisions and policies are popular with the people, the legislators will be forced to align with the popular policies. If you doubt this, once again, go and ask about what happened in Anambra.

PO already has the knowledge, skills and relevant experience in dealing with stubborn legislators.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I knew he would soon die when he started living an adulterous life. He sang fake gospel songs to deviate the minds of true Christians from the ways of our lord Jesus while sleeping with several women behind the scenes. Very unfortunate to share Same religion with him. It's better we Christians adopt polygamy like our Muslim brothers than deceiving ourselves in front of our lord Jesus

This has to be the most stupid post I've read in recent times.

Akunatakasi:
For the last time ... Seun warn your MODs to stop pushing irrelevant nonsense to front page.. just take a look at that front page.. no meaningful news there... Only irrelevant nonsense..

This mynd44 and nlpfmod should be warned seriously this guy's are gradually bringing down nairaland.. SEUN don't use because of tribalism to spoil your investment.

And who told you Nairaland is a "News" website? If you're looking for news, why dont you go to news sites like Vanguard, Guardian, Channels etc?.

And by the way, what's your definition of "irrelevant nonsense"? In a discussion forum of almost 3million members, do you realise that what you class as "relevant" is actually irrelevant to many?

Chidi LLoyd again? This guy needs to grab a role in nollywood ASAP!..

ThugOfWar:
As an elder on Nairaland, I respect your opinion sir

To be honest, it's a massive blessing (despite the fact that the typical black man will misuse it). Forget what anyone tells you in their analysis, oil money is still free billions just pumping from the ground.

Yes the world is moving away from fossil fuels, but that transition isnt going to happen overnight. Fossil fuels will still remain relevant even in the next 20 years (and that's more than enough time to have made billions of dollars from any commercial oil well drilled today).

Forget the beautiful stories all those 'clean energy' advocating countries tell you, forget their hypocritical sermons on climate change and clean energy. The only reason they talk of clean energy is cos they dont have oil/gas in their backyards. Go to those countries, they still use and even build new coal power plants, yet they tell you oil is useless?

ThugOfWar:
Aboki can't cease to amaze us.
When the whole world is moving away from Fossil fuels, aboki dey celebrate am for 2022

These people don't even understand global warming and the need to extensively reduce the usage of fossil fuels. The world is looking at alternative energy source and creating electric cars and more.

How can you count prospective oil drilling in year 2022 a blessing. Una go just dey make person laugh anyhow

'Ignorance' in the area of energy economics is the only reason anyone would think commercial oil discovery isnt economically a blessing. Even in 10 years time, it would still be a blessing.

The scoundrels dont even bother to hide their shamelessness any more. Just imagine the desperately to win the so called online polls which they earlier tagged as useless.

First the tag Peter Obi as "Pastor" for obvious reasons to religiously distort the polls, yet Peter Obi still trashed them. In their shamelessness, they quickly deleted the polls and started afresh, taking a quick screenshot when Tinubu was still leading. And then with Peter Obi catching up again, they abruptly deleted the polls again and started a fresh poll with only Tinubu and Atiku; never knew the desperation had gotten to this dangerously shameless level

Peter Obi had better watch his back this season.

Idiko1:
I usually write based on the intelligence accrued while on progression as human. I cannot fall stupid because a goon in the house wants to fall idiotic. Developed countries which have shunned the machination of the term "geopolitical" have a good reason. In addition, I do not give a ratass if any dolt is from south-south of the shithole called Nigeria. If given the free reign to dissolve the zoo called Nigeria, I can only sue for Republic of Igboland.

Sharap there! You dont give a rat ass about the SS but every 2 seconds you keep lamenting existence of the SS. Have you ever complained for once about the existence of the north-central?

Like I said before, there's nothing wrong with the geopolitical arrangement, especially given Nigeria's multi-ethnic peculiarity. The idea behind the geopolitical structure was to group regional minority ethnic groups together to avoid undue / unfair political domination by the larger ethnic groups. The SE is monoethnic, the SW is monoethnic, the SS was created by grouping ethnic minorities from the old eastern and western regions, to ensure fairness and avoid undue political domination by the 2 larger ethnic groups. The north central was also created with this idea. For once, we've never heard the SW complaining about losing the midwestern region (now SS); we've not heard of the people of the north-central complaing of their independent structure; and we've also not heard of the people of the SS or north central complaining about this arrangement. Why is it always the SE complaining and insulting everyone about the existence of the SS?

You havent bothered to say anything meaningful to support your argument on why you think the geopolitical arrangement is flawed (probably you dont have the requisite IQ to put forward a rational argument); but you only keep indirectly insulting the sensibilities of the SS people for not protesting this idea and you think these people are the 'dolts' and not you?

Oga save that your empty "I dont give a rat ass" rhetoric for the "dolts" you talk about.

Idiko1:
[s]Only moronic countries use the term, geo-political zone. A serious and developed country does not imply.[/s]

Smh... there's nothing moronic about having geopolitical structures, especially for a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria. Besides, the people from the south-south zone have never for once complained or lamented or denounced the geopolitical arrangement. How the people from the SE continuously tend be the ones who want to dictate the fate of the SS people isnt just bizarre but suspicious.

Stop insulting the intelligence of the SE with this your desperation to append by force to the SS abeg.

Something interesting I've noticed over the course of the electioneering season. The educated, enlightened and exposed voters CLEARLY lean towards an OBI presidency. That explains why OBI has consistently won ALL online polls (the uneducated and unexposed wouldnt be found online).

Victory for candidates like TINUBU or ATIKU can only depend on the votes of the uneducated, unenlightened and unexposed voters in rural areas. Unfortunately, this group make up a large chunk of the voter population across the country. This probably also explains why the oppressive and suppressive ruling class will always be opposed to educating and empowering the people; cos the moment the people are educated, they (aristocratic ruling class) will lose their powers.

mrvitalis:
Do this People have sense at all ?
Even if there was oil in the north ...you need the oil to be 3 times the oil in the Niger Delta region for it to make economic sense drilling the oil honestly

From my analysis it would take 15 billion dollars to build pipeline to transport oil from the north east basin to the ocean in calabar ...or at best ebonyi so you can then use the calabar river to move them

So you need at least 1 million barrels per day production for like 20 years to make such investment worth it


People would say build module refinery ? They are hardly profitable

.well let's watch n see

If oil is found in the north, it's a good thing for the north and for Nigeria as a whole.

Sometimes I believe strongly the opposition some of you have against any mention of oil in the north isnt necessarily driven by genuine patriotism; rather its purely out of inter-ethnic prejudice. Take a chill pill bro, oil in the north would be very beneficial to Nigeria as a whole.

Your analysis of it being economically unviable holds absolutely no water. Oil is produced in Chad republic and it's economically viable there; so why would oil in Bauchi be unviable? And where did you conjure that bizarre figure of $15billion from? Even the trans-saharan gas pipeline from Rivers state to Morocco wouldn't cost that much.

Victoronah1:
Geographically, there is nothing like south south. We only have south, East, west and North. If you're from the so called south south, you're from the east. All eastern states compromise of Enugu, rivers, Calabar, Delta, Imo, abịa , Anambara, Ebonyi, akwa ibom, cross River, etc. Let that sink into your head. Stop making blunders, there is nothing like south south.

Take a look at this map. You can see how cross River is almost ebonyi state, on the outskirts, tell me how the Bleep that place is South South? Just look at this map closely if you have brain you will come back. These guys are using divide and conquer on us here in the East. The East is one and one. No mall division

Are some of you not even tired of this your failed attempt at 'attachee by force' or could we just call it, 'land grabbing'?

Not for once have I seen a person from the SS complaining or denouncing the south-south designation; it's always south easterners trying to shove it down everyone's throat by fire by force that there's nothing like south-south on a compass. The whole episode just reeks of a desperation to 'attach by force'. Are the SS people kids or illiterates or non-humans that they cant be allowed to decide on their own destiny?

For the record, it's called a GEO-POLITICAL zone, not a GEOGRAPHICAL zone; so this continuous referrence geographic locations just points to ignorance.

Can we please stop this desperation to attach or append the SS to the SE by force? It actually brings ridicule to the SE and south easterners.
