Who gives a hoot if Nigeria Air is 100% owned by Somalis? Meanwhile it will be a most stupid decision to allow Nigerians manage the airline. |
Edo on total lockdown! |
All these noise about a criminal past is just a waste of time. We belong to a country where nobody, not even the system, cares about even your 'criminal present', let alone something that happened decades ago. Even if raw evidence is brought forward today that Tinubu (or any other candidate) was a right hand man to Pablo Escobar, the revelation wouldn't still sway the vote of even a single voter; Nigerians will still vote for whoever they want, irrespective of the baggage. We should be focusing on more important things! |
ysth:Unfortunately Nigeria has more illiterates than the educated and enlightened. And the ruling class will continue to weaponise that illiteracy and poverty to maintain their stronghold on power. |
Roger3D:Nope, nobody's heading to any court if Obi loses; of course democracy is all about numbers. But if Obi loses, it just proves a sad point; it proves that once again, illiteracy has been weaponised by the aristocratic elite to continue their perpetual subjugation of the nation.... One day, the nonsense will end! |
Zionmdde:This is 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 and ATIKU can only depend on the votes of the uneducated, unenlightened and unexposed voters in rural areas. Unfortunately, these people 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) lose their powers. |
trutharena:Only dumb fellows think it makes sense to blame a man who left office almost 9 years ago for the act of firemen who showed up at a fire scene (in a new fire truck) but without water. |
Okoroawusa:The only reason anyone blames Tinubu for whatever wrong happens in Lagos today is cos whatever good that happens in Lagos (even if it's just a private individual opening a new pure water factory), deluded Tinubu followers keep attributing it to Tinubu. |
Apparently Tinubu is too big and too important to attend presidential debates with 'riff-raffs'. Tinubu will only attend interviews and debates conducted in his house. |
Senseless clowns in power. You're owing pensioners and you're angry that they protest for their money. |
Lol... English can be rocket science sometimes ![]() |
oikirodah:Someone supporting the candidacy of Tinubu actually has the guts to use the 'dementia' tag on another candidate? Wow! There's no foolishness we wouldnt see in this election season. This definitely has to be the dumbest attempt at demarketting Obi so far. |
slimfit1:Just like a few people in this thread have highlighted to you, whilst it is good that we produce or leqrn to produce some of these things, there are times (such as now) when it is economically, scientifically, politically, socially and securitically expedient to just buy them from those who have already produced them. It's not always the wisest choice to reinvent or produce the wheel. Nigeria is currently drowning in a sea of security challenges. Now is definitely not the time to start prioritising the manufacture of security devices over buying them off the counter. Like someone mentioned in this thread, Russia with all its advancement currently buys drones from Iran. Even the US with all their advancement still buy a lot of devices from China, despite the the political/security implications. Summary of my point is, there is absolutely nothing wrong or silly or dumb about the NAF purchasing 55 attack helicopter gunships; it's a welcome development. |
slimfit1:My dear brother, the world hasnt yet gotten to the point where drones can efficiently and sufficiently replace manned aircrafts. Even the US you talk about that's developing drones everyday, in serious issues, they still send out manned aircrafts. Dont fall for the fictional hype and propaganda tv shows and documentaries you watch, drones arent and cant replace manned aircrafts just yet; maybe that could start happening in the next 20 years but its definitely not the reality today. And then, did you really just say its silly for Nigeria to acquire helicopter gunships cos drones should have been gotten instead? How could you even think its okay to compare Nigeria with technologically advanced and rich countries? You expect Nigeria to replace manned aircrafts with drones even when advanced countries are yet to achieve that? |
slimfit1:You really think Remote Control Planes (a.k.a. drones) can effectively replace the need for manned aircrafts? If that was the case, why exactly are the most technologically advanced and rich countries still bothering to build manned aircrafts and train pilots to go into battle? Some of you watch too many fake films. |
The current flooding around most parts of Nigeria is a natural disaster; a result of nature's anger. This is especially so for the Niger Delta communities around the tributaries of the River Niger. People mocking GEJ for being a past president and doing nothing, what exactly was he meant to do as president? Fight God? |
Realistically it's going to be a herculean task, but we hope and pray Obi grabs 25% of votes in just the right number of northern states. Cos I'm not exactly sure I understand how runoff elections work, but a runoff doesnt seem like it would be favourable for the Obi project. |
Lol... Nigeria is such a wonderful place; a theatre of the absurd! Supporters of a candidate battling with parkinsons disease and an onset of dementia actually have the guts to analyse the interviews of other candidates and tag them unintelligent? The candidate you support, doesn't even have the mental or physical capacity to attend a single interview but you think its wise to insult others? |
beerfraud:Are Obi's children contesting for any post? What's my business with his children? Reno and his foolish politics! |
AlphaStyles:Well, maybe my data isn't updated, but during my uni days, UNIZIK was the only school that regularly never joined ASUU strikes. People I knew who attended UNIZIK then all had very smooth academic runs (4 years was 4 years for them). I cant beat my chest and say I know what happened after 2007. |
AlphaStyles:Laughs at? |
Throwback:Even if Obi just breathes, he would be hailed by Obidients. I clearly see why this frustrates the BATists who end up calling it 'campaign' and insulting Obi. No be una fault! |
Corridon:All the reactions seemed to be from confused Tinubu supporters who are clearly frustrated by Obi's divine emergence. |
ezegenigbonine:It cost less than $300 per hour; anyone can rent a single engine cessna plane from their basic hustle wage. |
Michelle70:Renting a propeller plane shouldn't even cost up to $300 per hour. Any comfortable person (even students) can afford that trip.
|
TheFacelessMan:Poverty can sometimes be a mentally incapacitating disease. Those fellows making those distasteful comments are obviously poverty stricken; no well fed person would have this level of prejudice against another simply because they appear rich. How did they even conclude the boy's parents are politicians? |
Bukayosakes: |
JudahTheDream:Lol.. information is power my friend. Next time stop assuming you know something even before you've actually done your research on it. You talked about google, but I doubt you've even bothered googling any info on this topic cos you probably believe the rumours, beer parlour gists, hearsays and assumptions you've made are sufficient and reliable sources of info. Nigwria currently owes China just $3.64 billion (which is just an insignificant portion of our total debt of $103 billion). An actual google search to the DMO site can save you the embarassment of relying on hearsays and beautiful assumptions. The majority of funds Bubu 'planned' to borrow from China still remain as 'plans' that have not materialised, and that may never materialise before he even leaves office; even GEJ borrowed more from China than Bubu. Lastly, regarding the police stations, the point being made is that the stations have nothing to do with debts to China. Canada does not owe China a dime (China actually owes Canada), but 3 stations were set up in Toronto. |
JudahTheDream: Theomarvelus:The USA is the biggest debtor to China; they owe China almost $1 trillion. Bi wonder China also set up 1 police station in New York city in preparation to take over the US. Infact they also set up 3 stations in Canada just incase the American president wants to japa through the border. For real, all of you saying China will take over Nigeria cos of debt, do you even have the slightest clue how much Nigeria owes China?
|
voidUpdate: GreatVocalist:Whatever their reason is for opening the station, China isn't taking over Nigeria any time soon based on our debt to them because contrary to what so many people erroneously believe, Nigeria's current debt to China is insignificant in the grand scheme of things." Again, out of Nigeria's total debt stock of ~$103 billion, only ~$3.6 billion of that amount is owed to China, of which we have between 10-20 years to pay it off. $3.6 billion is an amount which even a rich state like Lagos can pay off given the reasonably long term of the loan. Nigeria currently has a serious debt problem, but China isnt who we should be worried about if you study the figures given. Meanwhile the stations which China opened in Nigeria were also opened in about 110 countries, across Europe and even in the US and Canada. The US currently owes China about a trillion dollars (yeah you read that right); apparently China wants to take over the US and Canada too? ![]()

Roger3D:There is a difference between saying "a citizen doesnt have the right to be in another state" and "a citizen doesnt have the right to be roaming about in another state on an election day". The last time I checked, even indigenes of the state do not have the right to move about on election days. |
gimakon2: voidUpdate:Nigeria may eventually become a slave to the lender, but that lender is definitely not China. Out of Nigeria's total debt stock of $103.31 billion (N42.84 trillion) as at June 30, 2022, the amount owed to China is less than $4 billion, i.e. less than 5% of our total debt stock ...even Lagos state can pay that off easily. The people saying Nigeria would be taken over by China because of debt obviously do not know this fact. It's clearly not the debt to China we should be worried about. cc: Gift00, WhiteRuler |
