The pensioners and Npower beneficiaries would never tire about comparing with their immediate past.

True. A similar scam was also enacted by Rochas pre-2015 election. Very few saw through it as the civil servants were the driving force behind it, shoving all their relations into it en masse. We all know how it died a natural death after achieving its aim.

GavelSlam:



I don't know what you lot expect.

You cannot support a most rapacious government to loot like money was going extinct, avoiding their obligations : salaries, pensions, debt to contractors and suppliers, cash calls to IOCs, abandoned projects, etc. Whilst berating every step another does to remedy the situation, in spite of low income.

You guys cried "corruption is killing this country" , "Lord send us a focused government" yet when you get it, you begin to usurp their purpose.

I've lived through so many governments to know that which is focused and resourceful.

You are free to choose your leader. As you make your bed....

I guess we heard a lot of PDP's 16 years of misrule and like the audience, got bored with it. It sold before coming into power; now it has lost its flavour. It was accepted as words because APC weren't in power then. Now, after four years, those words have failed woefully to translate into recognizable action by the average Nigerians; hence the reason it becomes boring for forcing more words down people's throats.
Talk Focus, Talk Resourceful, Talk Obi's government.
As for the corruption fight, save the bull crap for the birds. That's not selling anymore either

GavelSlam:


Judas helped Jesus to spread the word, yet he is an outcast till today.

I only tested one of Obi's "facts" and found him severely wanting.

You can help validate others if you are really interested in the truth.

I happened to be domiciled at Anambra State during Obi's tenure and witnessed it first hand. So, I'm not in doubt of his eadership. It's those who haven't tasted that need to see
That is enough truth right there. Undiluted, and certainly not social media induced.
I am also in Nigeria during Buhari's tenure with Osinbajo as his vice. Oh boy!

GavelSlam:


When a man begins to lie so brazenly, especially when he pitched his tent with serial criminal such as Atiku, one can only reach a conclusion on what his ambition is all about.

Debates are meant to be fact-based and not for pulling out figures from one's butt cheeks.

Lets pretend that the serial criminals have no part in installing the current administration.
From your submission of forged Facts and figures. You used the plural form. Aside the 'number of vehicles', I fail to see the other fact(s) he purportedly lied about.
Meanwhile, our VP seem to believe the administration had been and is adding MWs to the national grid while the Minister of Power had clearly spelt out that it is not the administration's business.
But then; the 16 years of PDP misrule is the selling point , such that the audience had to voice their displeasure at the boringness of it all.

GavelSlam:
Fact check:

National bureau of statistics states 11.2 million cars.

Peter Obi is simply lying.

He knows Nigerians hardly cross check information.

https://autojosh.com/vehicle-population-in-q1-2017/

Okay, let's assume he was lying and that there are indeed 12 million vehicles in Nigeria, how does that invalidate his point that subsidy should be removed?

From his analysis.. 89 million people living in poverty is enough reason to quit subsidy and channel the funds into something more productive. How does 10 million more vehicles suddenly rate higher than emancipating the 89 million people?

Instead, Osinbanjo was busy ranting about PDP 16 years of misrule. Did he every pause to think that it was within this same time that Peter Obi cemented his top managerial skills at the helm of affairs of Anambra State and Fidelity Bank?

But then.. Obi's lie invalidates all he laid bare before Nigerians tonight..according to you. One thing remained clear though.. if I fail to deliver, Choose your leader.

It ends with the National Anthem. Only those conscious of its significance actually sang it. Peter Obi sang it in a honourable pose. The others certainly didn't think much of it

I think it's better the Moderator remembers that it's not a two-party thing before giving the APC chance for rebuttal. That's how many times now?

nonsobaba:
Peter Obi clowning as usual. They will ask him A, he will answer B.

You're plain pathetic if that's your interpretation of Obi's speech. He out of his vast knowledge corrected the Moderator's insinuations and let him understand it's more about capital market and private investment to drive the economy. He's obviously more experienced and I'm sure the Moderator would benefit from the deeper insight

The smile on Obi's face interpretes my opinion on the Osibanjo figures
Just throwing untraceable figures around. As usual, it's not about 5 years like the Moderator said. It's about 16 years of PDP rule. Anything to avoid talking about their own achievements

edupedia:


....yes he is....and if u like go jump from 3rd Mainland Bridge....

Did you just call Buhari's Government a He?

Including Gandollar The Human Bullion Van
A man who revolutionized the bullion van industry
Banks have begin to explore the cost effectiveness of using men to move cash instead, modelling the plan after Gandollar and his famous bull-gbada

And somebody will call Buhari's government Corrupt-free? Stinking hypocrisy

In support of the Confraternity Of Like And Share Hunters (COLASH), I kick off this hunting expedition

litdutchboy:


EFCC froze his accounts because they suspect the source of funds for the Biggest mall in Port Harcourt and Abuja will be traced back to Anambra state funds.

Suspicion alone is enough to deny one access to what he has ownership over?

Next!

The difference is that one of the rallies report had real pictures all through.

A quick search using the application showed the picture was actually from a local football stadium during a game in Africa and has been around for at least two years.
Indeed, like the title of the thread suggested, something was cloned. The picture used was cloned.

Peacecore:

Ntor! Ur paymaster is going down day by day

Says Peacecore, the only person who doesn't support corruption but is steadily behind Buhari flanked by Tinubu, Sylva, Gandollar, e.t.c.

Go through all our posts on Nairaland and tell yourself the truth.
Only one of us has a paymaster. Let our posts be the judge

Your last 20 posts were arguing in favour of Buhari

So, if Saraki wanted to disrupt Trademoni, he'll send his boys wearing his branded T-Shirts to announce to the world that he is behind it right?
The originators of this news failed to consider two things:
1. If Saraki was that stup¡d to leave his fingerprints all over this case, He'ld have been nailed by now with the numerous cases brought up against him.
2. If Nigerians were that stup¡d, everyone would have bought that Jibrin's story.
Knowing how devious Nigerian politicians can be, I find it far easier to believe that this is orchestrated by the APC

Buterflyle0:


Its clear your are reasoning in reverse order so engaging you is like talking backwards and that would be a stupid thing to do on my part.

You could have just stuck to your own advice. You jumped on another's mention and kept droning on and on. Whatever you're telling me, I'm certain you've rehearsed to perfection as it must be the umpteenth time you're reciting the poem. I understand you're doing your job.
Your paymasters just failed to tell you 'hardworking, honest and sane' Nigerians are out of the target audience.
Be it far from me to engage in this petty trade. I believe we both have better things to do this morning, apologies if this is your turf

Buterflyle0:


You need to shut up.

If I were talking, yeah, this would have made sense.

Buhari isn't responsible for nothing. PDP set us on this course well before buhari came onboard.

You see, that's one error in judgement made by people with zero understanding of what it takes to be a leader. Always looking to passing the buck and end up like Buhari did after over 3 years. If everyone had an excuse for why he/she is the way is, where is the need for effort when one can easily pass the buck? Man up to responsibilities; that's what I'll tell him. What I'll do.

In fact if not that Buhari came onboard when he did, we would have ended up like Venezuela with the way PDP fraudulent elements were sucking away on the brèasts of Nigeria and looting our Commonwealth with impunity so much so that even in a time of plenty our external reserves fell to a shameful $27b.

I love your use of 'would'. But since none of that was the case when power was handed over, lets move on to real facts and figures then and now; the target now is the average Nigerian and how they're living. If this governance is over the health of some foreign reserves at the expense of Nigerian lives, then we are on different thought paths, sorry.

That was even when majorly one ineffectual buffoon was in their midst.

Yeah. About a tenure ago.

Now we have a mass gathering of thieves wanting to return to power. From Atiku to saraki to dino melaye, to bode George, etc

The first three you mentioned; we know how they helped put a certain leader in power using their corrupt tendencies. That's the exact reason that leader lined up forces with them; ascending to leadership through corrupt means. So you expect a sane Nigeria to see such a person as a saint?

Even Okonjo Iweala openly wept for Nigeria over how PDP drained and left her and she declared that Buhari was not responsible for our state and that PDP should be held accountable.

You mean the same Okonjo Iweala that kept distancing herself from all the 'legit information' your paymasters kept squealing? Perhaps you need to stick to the national tabloids more. They're less biased than the 'doused' ones your brain is currently filled with.

Common sense may not be your strong side but you can still endeavour to work on that weakness of yours

Lol, if how your current disposition is perceived by all and sundry is an example of Common Sense in action, Bro, I reject common sense for myself and my entire generation. Amen.

TheGreenLand:
TRUE TALK.

...hardworking, honest and sane Nigerians live.

Get real, man.
If you were any of the above, you will not even get close to his twitter handle for any reason.
You're hardworking and you believe in the fruits of your labour and you endorse a man who has no reasonable/realistic fruit to show despite wielding control (as we are led to believe) over millions of Nigerians?
You're honest and despite knowing all about Buhari and his associates and affiliates from Day 1, you believe this man is the best choice of over 40+ candidates?
You are sane and you're lining up behind a man (at the helms of affairs) responsible for the most tumultuous year known to the average Nigerian since democracy?

English ain't our mother tongue but let's not abuse it; I think the real hardworking, honest and sane people in Nigeria are not lining up behind either Buhari or Atiku come 2019. I think they never did. I think you should stop rubbing ashes on their nature too.

Peacecore:

Although Obi is my bro. but d day started associating with thieves I cease to support him politically.

You know as they say, the internet never forgets.
You stopped supporting Obi because he associated with thieves.

But despite Buhari's affiliation from Day 1 with Tinubu and his glowing endorsement of Gandollar amongst others, this is where you are:

Peacecore:
Say no to corruption by supporting continuity till 2023

Oh, and by the way, why does the thief in Tinubu autocorrect on Nairaland and Atiku doesn't? (See screenshot below for clarification)
Be it far from me to say that someone on the Nairaland board is being partisan.

Guestlander:


Quite the contrary, Lagos has always been the commercial nerve center of Nigeria. That is what I said in my post.

Sincere apologies for misunderstanding. Just the primal Nigerian in me. On the defensive by default

mercyville:


This is how Lagos gets its money:

A lot of those is hinged on importation since Nigeria's industrial level isn't mature enough to being self-sufficient. Think for a moment if the ports in other states are active, all that transporters, marketers and manufacturers that source from Lagos would divert to closer alternatives. All those services that come with their presence too will be diversified, taking the pressure off Lagos; and sadly, the capital too.

7lives:


Why not tell the federal government to RELOCATE the Atlantic ocean from Lagos.

When your Geography teacher said Nigeria is bounded on the South by the Atlantic ocean, I'm pretty sure he didn't say Lagos is the only state with a boundary on Nigeria's south.
Feed your eyes.

Guestlander:


20 years? No, even before Nigeria was created.

I accept your opinion. Now tell me, when did Lagos become the commercial hub of Nigeria? Or you mean to say it has never been?
I'm interested in cementing my knowledge based on your opinion.

Lagos had been the commercial hub of Nigeria for over 20 years and will continue to hold a clear lead until there is a concrete plan by the FG to at least, create a fair playing ground for other regions; e.g wholeheartedly, test run other ports. Not to discredit the efforts of LASG to take full advantage of opportunities though

Probably a secretary in a one-man buisness. Cos you far behind what it takes to access and decide informational

Stupidity is that you decoded and trying to build a castle on the flaws

Rule 1-. Did you decode the message.
Which am certain you did.

You just a low grade worker trying to vent his frustration of not being aow grade worked after pointing out the whole English flaws.

I know your type. Trust me!

What is the relevance of technology to the grammatical errors you've been shelling? Pray tell.

You dumb. Now I know you accessing the page with a 3310. And certain you just a labourer somewhere. You need exposure and a tutorial about 'Subject Matter"

What is the relationship between the device model used to access a page and the user's intellect? It seems your inability to string ten words together without tying yourself up in knots is not the only thing in question here.
If it takes a labourer to see your flaws, you should demand a refund from whatever institution that schooled you, bro.
