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.

What a foolish man!

None of the 4 top presidential contenders is blessed with the gift of eloquence, but Tinubu's case is a bit worrisome. It gets clearer and clearer why his handlers will NEVER let him attend a single interview or public debate. If he wins the election, I wonder how international public speaking events would be handled. Even Buhari wasnt this bad!

When Obi said this, several Tinubu supporters both on NL amd Twitter ferociously attacked and insulted Obi. Now let's see what their reaction would be to this.

bestdudes:
Some weeks ago, this thread titled: "Not All 30yrs Old Ladies Were Approached By Serious Men In Their 20's" graced the Nairaland front page.

Here is a link to the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7368480/not-all-30yrs-old-ladies

It is highly impossible that averagely pretty and above-average pretty ladies didn't meet serious men in their 20s. It is not possible. The problem with many ladies is that they have a very poor selection and also have a very bad attitude that chases good men away.

I am going to share my recent experience with 3 ladies and why I decided to walk away.

Lady 1: I had been chatting with this lady on Twitter without asking for her number. It has been on and off for more than one year. So about 3 months ago, I decided to ask for her number, which she delayed but later gave it on the same day.

For the records, this lady is pretty, she looks very much like Rita Dominic, very striking resemblance. Just to give you an idea that she is pretty.

We chatted a few times and then I decided to call. The first two were brief but the 3rd was much longer and somewhat boring because I was doing most of the topic or angle infusion, more like I was the one bringing up topics to sustain the interactions.

Before that 3rd call, I sent an SMS to ask if she was still at work and she replied to the SMS and said she was still at work. So I had to wait for about 1 hour before I called.

After the call, I texted her to say she has a good voice. I asked whether she sings or loves singing. It was just an innocent question borne out of curiosity because I could imagine she is a good singer with such a voice

She didn't reply to the SMS. Of course, I expected that, knowing how ladies behave over something as simple as that. While on Twitter, I asked whether she got the SMS, and she said that she saw it but didn't have airtime to reply lol...

That was a lie of course. I wonder why she would lie, perhaps she wanted to "form" or what? Ma'am, it was just a simple curious question.

I decided to take a stroll to her profile that same day and there I saw what completely turned me off. On her profile, she said people think she enjoys calls but she does not want calls and that they will think chatting her up on WhatsApp is better but she does not enjoy that either.

If that is the case, why give your number out? Why not isolate yourself from people entirely so that no one interacts with you? Are you better than those who took out time to spend it with you via calls?

I interpreted her mentality and worldview as someone who feels too important and does appreciate the effort of people who try to reach out to her or interact.

On seeing that, It was disappointing to note what she thought of others who called or chatted her up, I mean these are people's time that can't be gotten back lol.

Lady 2: This one is from Twitter as well. We started talking from a thread and I decided to DM her. I liked her energy. She was light and responsive, very open and communicative.

She started asking for my picture because I do not display my picture on Twitter. I was reluctant initially but sent it cos she persisted... after much chat, we exchanged numbers and I chatted her up on WhatsApp 2 days later. We talked about hanging out in December but she said she would be traveling to her state for the festive season.

While we were chatting, I had called before then, I simply asked whether she has entered another relationship after the last one she mentioned on Twitter.

Guess her response? she said "Do you have money to spend on my head"? For a less than 1 week interaction?

Oh, God... I knew I wouldn't want to have anything to do with this one beyond WhatsApp or Twitter. I reduced my interactions with her and it died.

For the two ladies above, I do not often remember they are on my contact anymore except when I see their status lol.

Let's move on

Lady 3: Met this one after church and we were going in the same direction. I spoke to her and we exchange numbers. We chatted, and I called. We arranged to meet up. On the day of our meeting, which was the first after that Sunday, she asked me whether I have knowledge of digital marketing or social media marketing. I said I do but it is not something that can be discussed on WhatsApp, except we meet so that I can explain it to her.

Though chatting her up was very slow as she is rarely online. She takes a few hours to reply lol.

We met and the meeting was more of a lecture with me answering all her questions. I enjoyed it anyway.

Knowing that I exchanged numbers because I was attracted to her, I had to find a way to subtly give hint. Now, here is the challenge I had. She increasingly started replying with monosyllables like "yeah", okay, no, lol, ,

On noticing that, I knew it was time to exit from her life and I did.

The above 3 ladies are pretty facially and above average... With their attitude that made me leave them alone, tomorrow, they will come online to write "Not All 30yrs Old Ladies Were Approached By Serious Men In Their 20's" lol and some persons will be saying it is true blah blah...

Girls are the architect of their own misfortune. You will see a man being a decent gentleman and develop a habit that chases them away. In the same vein, they will accept the guys who do not have any good intentions toward them.

Others may believe that thread but definitely not me. I do not believe that a girl, especially the pretty ones, will live from age 1 to 30 and never come across a man with good intentions. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE!

Lady 1:
So because a lady says she doesnt enjoy long endless chatting or calls, it automatically makes her an unserious person unworthy of a serious relationship?

So ladies aren't allowed to like/dislike what they like/dislike? Must a lady like what you like before you tag her a serious person?

If you like long chats and calls but she doesnt, it simply means you guys arent meant for each other. That doesn't make you a serious dude and her an unserious person bro...

Lady 2:
Whilst I wouldnt be found holding brief for hungry entitled girls, the question Lady 2 asked could just be a joke (you actually sound already like an uptight person who cant tell a joke from serious words). Did you spend time with her to establish her real personality, or you just jumped into conclusions because you already had a prejudiced mindset that women are unserious? Jumping from one woman to the other over petty things could actually mean you are the unserious one you know?

Lady 3:
No matter how decent or funny or rich or handsome you are, not every woman will like you. Lady 3 just doesnt seem to be into you (for a relationship). That doesnt make her an unserious person.

buckeyemedia:
Obidients lacking common sense is not an insult, but a factual fact.

Coming from a Tinubu supporter/defender who cant live without mentioning the words "Ipob" and "Obi" in 8 out 10 of his posts; the existence of Mr Obi has clearly driven some people to insanity. I only feel pity for you cos I understand that mad people arent only those roaming the streets in rags.

asanausana91:
Osun state election would have thought you a lesson but since you cannot understand, pls wait for February 2023

Perhaps it should first teach you the elementary school level lesson that no candidate can win 100% of the votes even in their village.

buckeyemedia:
This is the reason we expect you Oblivious Obidients to go back to your imaginary Biafra agitation next year.

You children are null and void upstairs politically, hence know nothing.

Dumbos obviously cant string anything sensible out of their brains without resorting to insults and ethnic slurs.

asanausana91:
what stop him from getting the 100?

Mr man 70% of south east votes is not up to 30% of North West votes.

Even Buhari will not get 100% of the votes in Daura. Even my 8 year old neice wouldnt ask such a meaningless question. Wake up!

SE isnt the only zone in Nigeria with ready votes waiting for Obi. If Obi was so irrelevant as you guys want to make the world believe, you wouldnt be peeing in your pants everyday talking about Obi Obi Obi ftom dawn till dusk. Like I said before, its an insult to even remotely conjure that assumption in your head that Obi isnt a formidable candidate in this election.

asanausana91:
I just hope iam not talking to a kid. Even inside south east,how many votes do you think Peter Obi will win?

No you arent talking to a kid, and I'm sure I'm not talking to a kid either. You're definitely a mature adult who has willingly just chosen to inflict upon himself, a delusional disorder; no thanks to petty politics.

Peter Obi will be getting over 70-80% of the votes in the entire south east.

asanausana91:
even the Peter Obi himself know that he cannot compare himself with Atiku in terms of crowd. In 2011 it was the turn of the north but the south refused to agree.

This has to be the greatest delusion in recent times, i.e. thinking Atiku has more crowd than Obi.

If not for the mass of Buhari northern voters who vote strictly along tribal/religious lines, and who may reluctantly tilt towards Atiku for this obvious reason, which crowd exactly does Atiku have in Nigeria? The crowd Atiku thinks he pulled in 2019 was actually an Obi crowd; if not for Tinubu who's going to take a chunk of south western votes, place Atiku vs Obi exclusively and let's see if Atiku would come close.

Saying Tinubu will win cos Obi is contesting has to be one of the most disrespectful and irresponsible gibberish I've heard in a while. Should Atiku (a Fulani Muslim) even be contesting after 8 years of another Fulani Muslim?

Lol... Foolishness on steroids!

This same thing happened in an airshow in Abuja few years ago... and as expected, we all insulted ourselves.

osazsky:
speak for yourself...I have my reasons y I didnt vote gej

I'm not speaking for myself, I'm speaking the sad truth about Nigerians. The people supporting Tinubu already know he has a tainted past (and even present). Even if you show them 100% evidence that Tinubu was a dealer, it wouldn't sway a single one of his supporters to switch. That's why I said it's all a waste of time.

stanluiz:
He has a bad reputation. That's why his past records are dirty.

Imagine have a drug lord as your president ? Do you think International community will respect such country and her citizens ?

Those that are supporting him are suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Nothing more! Nothing less!

Go back and read what I wrote carefully. Like I said, lamenting that he's a druggy or a killer or a thief or whatever is useless. Such things have never swayed Nigerian voters and it wouldnt start swaying Nigerian voters in 2023. Hence, continuously talking about it is a total waste of time and resources.

Sometimes I wonder why anyone bothers themselves with Tinubu's past records. It's a total waste of time and would amount to nothing. Even if the head of the FBI comes publicly today to declare Tinubu was Pablo Escobar's right hand, it wouldn't sway a single vote from Tinubu's camp (peope who support him already know he isn't a saint and that's the reality of Nigeria).

Just the same way PDP foolishly spent months searching for Buhari's WAEC result instead of campaigning; hopefully we would learn how to ignore certain things and focus on real matters.

Freedom fighters ...
