Zulum is the most competent governor in Nigeria. And he's of the APC.

Support candidature, and not party.
Majority of Nigerians support PO irrespective of the party he is.

The same man who labelled Buhari the best thing to happen to Nigeria and professed that his state is peaceful? Lol

I wonder what yardstick you nigerians take measure una leaders,.

waice6571:
No matter how people try to paint Muslim/Muslim Ticket in Nigeria, it remains what it is; all shades of wrong!

I don't know why people are not asking the right questions....!

Why did Buhari chose Pst Tunde Bakare and Yemi Osinbajo... christians/pastors as his running mates to balance the equation while vying for the office of the president?

Why can't he choose Tinubu as his running mate in 2015 and try to sell Muslim/Muslim ticket to Nigerians?

Tinubu may lose the trust of the south and the north will cleverly withdraw their support for him some minutes to the election....

Someone should ask former president Goodluck Jonathan the taste of Northern betrayer....

There is one thing you have to understand. Once it's someone's time to get something, everything will be working in and to his favor. From all indications, everything is working in favor of Peter Obi. APC and PDP are all getting it wrong from day 1.

Osibanjo with any other powerful nothern candidate would have given him a hard time.

But its obvious this is Peter Obi's Time.

The same way it happened in Anambra 2007

Go read that interesting and historic story in the history of Nigerias politics.

brante:
he has not been serious with campaigns lately

He is, just that their health is seriously failing, hence they chose to stay close to best hospitals. Sadly those hospitals are outside nigeria.

PresidObi:
The problem we have in this part of the world, is that politicians hoping to lead Nigeria are always junketing across the developed world to spend our money which they looted on frivolous things while the poor masses they impoverished are dying of hunger.

Atiku should have been in Nigeria to enjoy the Nigeria where he was once the second most powerful man.

The problem is not the politicians but Nigerians who keep voting them.

Fuckingmallam45:
Imagine back then, if Soludo were to contest for the position of president, just like present Obi, the whole social medias would have tried to portray him as a saint for us, and we might definitely believe them, just see what is happening now. Is Soludo not young? Is Soludo not educated? Is Soludo not vibrant?
Politics is more than all these aforementioned, people that are supporting Obi should think it well, what if he happened not to be the Messiah they all hope for? But anyway, he might definitely have a good reason for doing that. I pray such a reason to yield positively and be a welcome development.

Soludo is a professor of Economics, so none of you guys including them knows budgeting, planning and expenditure more than him.

Wait first to hear from Soludo why he did so.

But i heard a lot of padding was going on in the budget under former governor obiano, so maybe they thought it was business as usual with Soludo

Das1mama:
Good evening to all great men, women, boys and girls in Nairaland.
without wasting your precious time i will cut the long story short; as the topic stated, I just got a job in a pure water factory as a Driver, after much interaction and oral interview with the manager of the factory and gave me two options to accept either he will be paying me 15k per month or in every sale I made per bag that i will be earning #4. and aside from the salary he promised of giving me #200 everyday to serve as a meal, so out of curiosity I accepted the second option which is #4 per bag... pls which is more preferable, #15k monthly or #4 per bag sold? thanks and remain blessed. Note: Am to resume on Monday.

The 15k monthly is evil. Thats how wicked Nigerians are to each other but they choose to blame their leaders.
Just take style ask their daily sales to see how many bags they sell daily/monthly. That shows you what to expect. Then if the sales can fetch you 15k or almost 15k accept to be paid per bag. All you need do is increase your hustle, advertise your water, look for new customers, and give special treatment to the existing customers. Be friends with your customers. You are good to go.

Avoid cutting corners, God will bless your hustle.

kingthreat:
You were a loser, you were a quitter. You had hands and legs and were not imprisoned but still went on to quit the ultimate battle of life. You messed up and disappointed your loved ones.
For the record, I was once suicidal. But thank God, I chose to live, I chose to fight, I chose to win.

First, you were a coward and fool for being depressed. Were you the only person who had gone thru difficult momements, why deoressed you silly head.

immortalcrown:
Because the suffering there is not good for old age. Those type of people are selfish people who always run to the most comfortable zones and abandon their relatives at home.

When they are young, diaspora is their favourite. When they get old and begin to pay the price of the enjoyment they had, they will remember "No place like home". If you think they are coming home just because they love home, why did they wait until old age? Are they running from enjoyment in diaspora?

Most of the things you enjoy as a youth will not give you happiness in your old age because they are not what your body and health require in old age. Those people hardly get what pleases old age in diaspora. That is why they run home to search for old-age happiness. There are many reasons.

Suffering is not only about the struggle to make money. Whatever threatens your health or saddens you means suffering.

Calm down Mr. Even people living in Nigeria, outside their state of origin always return to their native homes/villages to retire. Its natural.

Frigga13:
He’s own youth wan kill am

I said Obi will lose Anambra wotowoto.. no be lie ..

Might not come 2nd in the east.. if ... for obi no go win eastern votes

Forget online noise ..

Elections go come e go clear

Power to the people!!!

PDP!!!

Come on, Obi is rich, can afford anything life offers. In fact this present sufferings in nigeria dont affect him one bit. He is volunteering himself to save foolish nigerians. If they dont vote him, he continues to enjoy life. But remember, those who vote against him will regret it just like those who rejected GEJ are regretting it while GEJ is living a life.

festacman:
In Nigeria, the victory at the presidential polls is sum total of the effort of local political heavyweights in their wards and constituencies. That's structure. Does Labour Party or Peter Obi Campaign Organization has local political influencers all over Nigeria? Even the negative tendency of vote buying still require structure to accomplish.

Another major challenge facing Peter Obi is that he is the sole financier of his presidential bid. And presidential campaign sure requires massive funding with substantial leakages caused by people who would collect money without doing assigned task. Can Peter Obi open up his wallet wide when winning is not 100%?

Go read about Economic revolutions in Europe. Revolution will always happen, whether Economic or political. When you oppress the masses so long they get to a point were they say enough is enough.

If Nigerians are ready to say that "Enough is Enough" Obi will neither need any structure nor money. The masses will fight for themselves in his favour.

Its called, POLITICAL REVOLUTION

Its looming, Nigerians may likely say enough is enough...the sufferrings are becoming unbearable...

History will always repeat itself in the world.....

AnambraPrince:
I can never trust that Pandora thief Peter Obi with my money. He has the potential of becoming the biggest thief in history. Secret thieves like Peter Obi are worst than open ones

Anybody, even a lunatic can see from your comment that you were paid to smear the name Obi. They have 4 candidates, just make your choice and go. Nobody asks you to say what you said. Besides, you just picked one person to smear, why?

There is a proverb that says, only a tree with ripe sweet fruits get stones thrown at.

Ximenez:
Current value of the players in the transfer market.

But no team now has a squad list, because all are still seriously busy with transfer. Nobody knows who stays and who goes and who comes in. So how will they know their value?

Neymar may still leave PSG, Salah may leave Liverpool, chelsea might lose, Lukaku, Ziyech, Werner, Pulisic this season, tell me how they will know the current squad value?

Honor10:
Lolz. Lizard thinking himself as crocodile, don't worry you will be taught a bitter lesson in 2023, if you win any state outside SE come and arrest me.

This is not about Peter. He is rich and has all he needs in life and even more. But if Nigerians think they wont vote him, he will gently continue his rich life, nothing spoil. But again mark these words, you nigerians rejected GEJ, he is happy living his life, while you guys sit on a hot plate on bare butt.

REJECT OBI, THIS TIME, I SWEAR, THE DEVIL WILL BE SORRY WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU GUYS THIS TIME.

ecomalchemist:
Oil rich community with its residents living in abject poverty.

What a conundrum.

Oil producing states in nigeria are the most stupid people i have seen in the face of the earth. They think lower than most animals. Instead of having a city and a life worthy of oil states, they prefer to be given peanuts individually so that they waste it in stupid lifestyles.

Heck no, they’re most certainly NOT…
Banana Island today is far BETTER than even just 5 years ago.

The one thing places like Banana Island aptly demonstrates is the efficacy of the private sector in a country with often poor public institutions (even though Lagos institutions often fares relatively better than most in Nigeria). Nonetheless, even Ikoyi is probably much better in terms of physical infrastructure presently it than ever was, albeit that its evolving character (from a largely residential-only enclave to a mixed-use district) places certain mismatched pressures thereupon. VI is different, so is Ikeja GRA (another district in evolution).

There are WORLD-CLASS property facility maintenance managers in Lagos (including leading multinationals such as Broll, James Cubitt, and CBRE), so building maintenance for big private developments is hardly an issue these days.
>

I just left Banana island 4 days ago. I spent a week in one of the Air BnB there and took time to walk, run, cycle roubd like i alwzys do. My dear, the gutter is becoming clugged with sands, the interlock is wearing out and needs to be changed. Ikoyi, the environs are becomibg dirty with all sorts of things. These were bad than i left a year ago. That Landmark road in VI is worst now, the entire Island is decaying, when it rains its a mess. Street urchins littered the entire VI and most parts in Ikoyi. Now i get nervous to walk around in these neighborhoods.

Lagos State No be Una Mate

I wish Lagos State Award the Roofing Project to ImranRoofing, That mean Dream come through!

FOR YOUR QUALITY ROOFING SHEET AND RAIN GUTTER COLLECTORS
WHATSAPP 08085310359!!

Calm down i will be honest with you, Lagos island is coming up with nice gigantic buildings and all but, mehn our maintainance of these infrastructures in Nigeria is so poor. Ikoyi, VI, Banana island all these beautiful places are fast decaying.
I visisted a year ago, now i was in banana island a couple of days, from there to ikoyi then VI and now Ikeja, mehn those once beautiful places i visited are fast decaying.
Lagos govt needs to know that its not just building gigantic buildings but mainatainnace of these infrastructures is more important.

heendrix:
I sincerely think you should commend the Yorubas for being loving and accommodating. atleast SW isn't making the place hell for Igbos, we help ur business grow even

Yorubas will never get quarter of the accommodation, friendliness and peace we show to you guys down west, Yoruba businesses will not even grow in the East, yall would never allow it.

You are wrong. Yorubas who make clothes well all over the east are living large and comfortable. Nobody disturbs them. Just that Yorubas are afraid and always suspicious of the igbos. No Agbero dey disturb their business. No intimmidation

Fahdiga:
South West is boiling at the moment. This is what happens when you see your enemy as your friend. Yorubas sees peaceful Igbos as their enemies and at the same time embraced rampaging abokis as their soulmate. Now they are reaping the benefit of their friendship

You have said it all. I wonder why the hate for Igbos who never will think of killing them instead will bring prosperity to their land; then embrace the abokis who will bring nothing but destruction to them?

Despite knowing this hard truth, yet their enemies remain the igbos and their killers remain their best friends.

Moferere:
Lol, see mumu campaign

Its not about campaign my dear. It might be or might not. But trust me that pastor is first of all boss in his field, wealthy and need not lick anybody ass. He is not even an Igbo. I was once a big critic and remains one, of nigeria politicians, but you see that Obi, I used to criticise him until i took my time and researched to find fault in him like his counterparts, but i couldnt. That was when i stopped criticising him. He is not perfect, but he is far better than most of his colleagues.
I am not telling you to believe, but dont criticise blindly or be ethnic biased. Take your time and find a fault in him before you criricise him.

LegendHero:
Or Adamu come out to deny he said that.

This is bigger than Adamu. That NWC is bigger than him. Imagine him trying to bribe NWC members with $50k.

Even Orji Kalu is now confused on channelsTV live now when Seun asked him that the NWC said they did not ratify Adamu consensus. Kalu is saying he announced it but yet NWC members do not accept lol.

Adamu the player getting played on his own turf.

How old are you? So you think say north no sit down make the decision, then come tell adamu to announce it? El Rufai so said it days ago say he know that annointed candidate.

Joezinho:

imagine over 370 persons agreed with this madness you wrote. This is why northerners always play you southerners cause una be fools.

So you think say all these delays na to come joke with Lawan name? Something wey northerners don decide sotey you dey call joke? Really?

Now them wan play una say nothern governors no gree, then una go relax sake of say them go announce a southerner, then una go dey wait i stead of go strategise then election time go reach una no go strategize to counter them

The monsters they made...

Give them their 5 states and build 10 kilometers wide electric wire fence round Alaigbo guarded by land mines, tank traps and combat troops...

Lol. But the entire Nigeria quivers in fears anytime they ask to be let go. They are afraid to let the Igbos go. They have been asking to let them go since 1960 yet every other region refused. Ask yourself why?

The answer. They know Igbos are the pillars on which Nigeria rests. Once those pillars go, sudden collapse will befall Nigeria.

If you or them doubt, then let you guys try let the Igbos go

bestmutiu2019:
they will pick 5 teams from epl

Nope. Thats only when the team that won the champions league is out of top 4

planetx:
The person that earns the least in America earns more than a doctor and bank manager in Nigeria, tells me you are an ignoramus who knows nothing and have probably never left your village before.

The least minimum wage in America is $7.25 (thats the least you can pay pet hour, but most states pay more)

Thats over 4k naira, per hour. So if the person works a minimum of 8 hours a day, thats 32k a day. (Mind you, some work like 12 hours a day)

Like here in Colorado, the minimum wage is $12.56 per hour. Multiply the $12 by 12 hours and tell me which doctor or manager earns that in nigeria.

In fact here, a truck driver could earn up to $50 to $100 an hour.

My wife who is a stylist earns 10k to 12k a month.

Please nigeria is a typical zoo, you wont understand until you leave the hell hole.

Mooh247:
Common sense dictate you read before getting emotional with your response


I compared Lagos debt profile to that of US and not America and Nigeria

Borrowing goes hand in hand with nation building economically via critical infrastructure to better the life of your citizens.

You only borrow or raise fund to build critical infrastructure to turn your economy around and create emoyment in order to better the life of your citenzens.
So, when the US raise fund externally through bond selling, you see it clearly in their economy, which has adequate infrstaructures and employment creation that better life of Americans.
That is opposite of Lagos or Nigeria kind of borrowing or raising fund externally.

Lagos borrow, still lack adequate infrastructures and dont better life of citizens.

Thats my point

So with the kind of money Lagos borrows, as small as they are as a state, they should be like Dubai. Thats the only way you justify the borrowing. But anything short of that, its unjustifiable.

In summary, America debt is used to build a better nation that betters life of citizens. Lagos debt is diverted into pockets of few thieving politicians. So the money Lagos borrowed is useless

Mooh247:
Put up the most indebted Countries in the world and you will find America as Number one and China as number two

This are serious countries like Lagos State

Lagos IGR in a year can comfortably pay up it's little loans used to build critical infrastructure like rail, and metro system

.

The way you guys argue shows how poor the education system is in Nigeria. Arguement is all about common sense logic and not just pulling up written things online which doesnt collerate logically.
How dare you compare America kind of debt to Nigeria, how? The US dont go ask you for money, they borrow through issuing of bonds which other country buy, they dont run out of cash like Nigeria and begin carry plate run go China or EU to beg like Nigeria does. Besides, Nigeria beg for money, then whe given, they steal it and dont up the infrastructure.
If you dont know, the person that earns the least in America earns more than, a medical doctor, a bank manager in Nigeria.
Nigeria has zero roads, zero electricity, zero health, school, zero infrastructure, zero manufacturing sector. So where does all the borrowing go?
Lagos state and any other state in nigeria, even the entire country is poo when compared to America.

Most of you kids that say this kind of poo will one day leave the country and understand how terrible nigeria is.

Asians and Africans got the strongest immune system

Africans are not exempted, just that here because of poor healthcare system those killer diseases dont get diagnosed so most time we attribute them to spiritual attack, and village people and poison.

My relative died of lukaemia, until his death, he insisted it was an attack and refused to go on chemo.

DaniDani:
Too many universities in this country already, why not something else, like industry? Why are Nigerians so much afraid of establishing industries, especially multi national industries?

Honestly....

But, the right word is manufacturing company... industry is a consyallation of companies..e.g. movie industry, music industry, etc....
