Everything you put up here is not true.

1: Since I moved to the US, I never missed Nigeria or anyone except my parents.
2: I don’t wish I could change anything in Nigeria anymore because time waits for nobody. Enjoy your life now and stop worrying about a country you have no power to change due to corrupt politicians. Nigeria will better. So they say since I was born. We are all getting close to old age everyday
3: I feel welcome. You will only feel unwelcome if you are mixing with the wrong people
4: I eat most of the food I used to eat in Nigeria because we have African stores here. So I don’t miss the food
5: The greatest depression comes from living in a country like Nigeria. You are even depressed right now living in Nigeria but you don’t know it. You will know not until you come here.
6: I’m not part of such people. I don’t follow Nigerian news or politics more than I follow the ones in my new country
7: I’m at a point of no return to Nigeria. Why do you think this trend will matter to me? Of course it won’t

racism never slap you thoroughly with "you have an accent, where are you from originally" flying kick as jara

Alabama is not in NY..you sure say you dey tell us truth..lol

the guy is a lying troll - and he succeded in making FP

coputa:
We pray Omo Agege should win the guber election,so that Okowa can cough out the looted fund.

exactly

how can he collect such money to fund his ambition to be VP and people cant collect the salary they earned ? - what madness!

Yankee101:
Okowa! Pay them!!

and he just took a N150 Billion loan on the neck of Deltans to start some "white elephant projects" when he has less than 1 year to leave office

that is the money he used in getting on the Atiku ticket ahead of Wike

That money gave him confidence that even Jesus Christ cant stop hum from becoming ATIKU'S running mate

If ATIKU lose the election, OKOWA will die in prison - his own will be 100 times worse than dariye and nyame

Handsum64:
With all the Federal allocation?
Dubious and criminal elements ruling a state

okowa is a worse thief than IBORI

At least IBORI paid salaries - he was not owing any worker

in all 8 years of his admin (1999-2007) and IBORI was always hiring

Fira09:
So okowa has not paid his state employees their pensions,I thought his one of the elite governor's we have in Nigeria.

Let no one trust or depend on any politicians ,most of them are all the same .

This will reduce ATIKU chance of winning the election.

SHUT UP THERE - why will you group OKOWA with Governors that paid salaries like OBI

SO they are all the same is your response to obvious incompetence by OKOWA to water down the options - yeye man

https://www.channelstv.com/2022/06/21/peter-obi-will-be-better-suited-as-minister-of-economy-says-ned-nwoko/

Ned is a very foolish man without political education - no wonder he is a pedophile

Obi does not need to be a member of the PDP or APC

IF he wins, 80% of the so-called APC or PDP members will beg to decamp to the Labor Party

These "anywhere belle face" politicians will do anything to stay in power and they will all buy into the OBI ideology and fall in line

Why will they fall in line? go read the Constitution - The Nigerian President is almost a Monarch or Emperor with tremendous powers

He can dissolve the National Assembly and call for fresh elections because he is both the Head of State and Head of Government

Once he dissolves the National Assembly calling for fresh elections, he will appoint an INEC chairman in the mould of FEMI FALANA


Once the by elections are free and fair with EFCC on the alert to effectively arrest and prosecute anyone into vote buying or

Anyone causing trouble - IT IS GAME OVER - even a retired principal in your street who is a disciplinarian and member of Labor Party

will be elected and find himself in the senate - or house of reps and with OBI marshalling the bully pulpit - he will get a Labor Majority

Anyhow - so let NWOKO focus his energy on marrying Teenagers and leave OBI alone

Nwoko is a part of the evil establishment holding Nigeria down and they will all be Consumed by the coming revolution!

DOWN2HeartLoved:
I usually come to nairaland to get advice on business or any other related stuffs am affected with

Currently am in a tight spot, have been dating a lady I met during a trip, after a month, we started chatting and I went to visit her, things were smooth until we have a child, now she's different

The thing am surprised about her is I don't know her family background, only believed what she told me, she's from Auchi and Orogun and the mother lives in Ondo, we have issues I had to move out of my own house for her, the problem is I'm thinking she has children outside, she's always 28 every year, am thinking she's close to 40, why lie about age and many more.

Reasons am baffled, her mother isn't showing any concern.

She has lots of brothers

She always calls me a small boy

She doesn't even care now, even if I die

Problems:- I have invested on this relationship emotionally, physically and even more,

Is she from Benin? She lied too, she has turned my people against me, right now no one reason me seriously again, because everyone is telling me she's a club girl and I need to leave her, she just laughs and blocks anytime I called her, people are telling me she might have built a house with my money elsewhere.

Am shocked this is happening to me.

ok, here lies your problem- you left massive gaps in your intro that i don’t know the “whatever” and “however” of the gist - your story, unfortunately is laced with nuggets, aimed at drawing sympathy to you while absolving you of any blame - that is why these gaps are so evident - but few things are certain here- you had bouts of unprotected sex with someone you barely know, the pv ss y got you real bad that you became addicted to it and became impervious to reasoning thereby alienating your friends and family and you can’t help yourself because you know you ain’t man enough to leave a manipulative woman with a honey well in between her thighs, and you are so desperate to drag members of the public into your business which is drama saturated.


my brother, please carry your own cross, let her nail you to it so that at least future generations can read about your crucifixion story and learn lessons of life because regardless of whatever anyone tells you here, you will never learn- your case is a lost one, God bless you!

Super1759:
If you like pack all the SE and SS into your cabinet.

Apc won't bear that office again!!!

Na now Buhari won pack southerners into his cabinet abi? where was he the last 7 years - hmm so that means he knew what he was doing all along - wow

Buhari is indeed a snake

Samunique:
Where is Ameachi

Is he now jobless ?


Someone says, a bird at hand is better than a thousand in the bush !

Hope Ameachi has learnt his lesson?

If dey push you, nor go push yourself join!!!

Meanwhile, oga eye don finally clear!!!!

don’t blame Amaechi - you seem not to understand - he came second in the primaries - if anything happens to Tinubu (God forbid) befor the presidential elections - Amaechi automatically becomes the APC presidential flag bearer and with the way Tinubu is crawling it looks like Oga is not well so just pray Tinubu doesn’t kick bucket before February next or else Amaechi is next APC presidential flag bearer

IamNat:
Nawa o, I don't know what makes you think maybe I'm talking to Indomie generations and those other histories you put up there. What makes you think I didn't vote in the June 12 election. I believe you have a right to your own opinion just as I did have a right to mine. I already told you my position and the reason behind it.

If Gowon can decide to go ahead with the Civil war, Abdulsalam could decide to do the same, he could have lost and he could have won but every soldier knows it's either win or lose that ends a war.

Well if all you believe about Abdusalam returning Nigeria to Civil rule is that he did it for himself, no problem.

As for me I will always credit him for what he did, he's a hero who won't be forgotten when talking about democracy in Nigeria.

Thanks sir.

e don do, you win, God bless you!

IamNat:
He did have a choice, he could have stayed a little longer, he's a military man, he could have started killing anyone who wants to stand against him like Abacha did, when IBB decided to annul the June 12 election, what happened eventually, till today the election is still not announced. But here is a man who decided to do what is right, he should be credited for that. I never said he did Nigeria a favour, maybe it sounded like that to you, I am only acknowledging the fact that he chose to do what is right.
Yes, he stole and looted the country, but show me a Nigerian leader who has not done such in one way or the other -this is not me justifying corruption in any way, but if the Lord should keep track of Nigerian politician's iniquities, who can stand among them?. Also, I never said nor meant to imply that travelling abroad to take care of his health is a good thing.

All I did was to only acknowledge the fact that he chose to do what was right at a critical point in the history of Nigeria.
I also wish him speedy recovery!

whatsoever you think Abdulsalami did by returning Nigeria to democracy- he did for himself - you are not responding to an indomie generation nairalander, FYI I was an adult already who voted in June 12, 1993 - and the news of the death of MKO Abiola was already stocking up potential reprisal attacks and a possible civil war situation. Abiola died a few days after Abacha and the country was heading to a catastrophic end due to much uncertainty and no sensible military man will bear to be in the center of the storm by holding on to power

With Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the 1993 annulled presidential election, a yoruba man dead while in custody of the federal
government of Nigeria - with Oladipo Diya, Olanrewaju and Andulkarim Adisa, all Yoruba Generals and former key members of the Abacha junta in prison awaiting execution for the December 1997 coup - Abdulsalami had no choice my brother than to return Nigeria to civil rule and ensure a yoruba man take over from him and free these condemned Generals to calm frayed nerves of not just yorubas but southern Nigerians - that’s an open secret so don’t come here trying to re-write history like he did the country a big favor returning Nigeria to civil rule because he could hold on, HE COULDNT THAT WAS WHY HE HANDED OVER POWER!!!! He said so himself -

By implication he did not desire to do what was right, the prevailing circumstances of that time FORCED him to leave in a hurry as Abacha and the culture of military rule with all that assassinations of Kudirat, Olu Onagoruwa’s son, Pa Alfred Rewane, attempted assassination of Alex Ibru all that left a massive dent on the military’s image under Abacha - he was forced to leave - Thanks!

dawnomike:
Time will tell what his future holds at Madrid... I wish him well

Real Madrid, a one time very racist anti- black players team in the 1990’s now parading a squad almost 40% black players - hmmmm “nothing is really impossible in this life”

IamNat:
One of the owners of Nigeria.
Abdulsalam Abubakar as done his own quota for Nigeria.
He at least ensured that we return to democracy and he did it with assurance of stability, he should be credited for that.

Sooner or later, we will definitely outgrow the corrupt system that we are running so far and history will always remember him as the custodian of the Nigerian democracy.

Get well soon Abdulsalam Abubakar.

the bold parts - did he have a choice ? you talk as if he did Nigeria a favor - in saner climes, the likes of Abubakar and all those who wielded (military) martial law over Nigerians since independence will be in prison serving life sentences … Especially Abubakar Abdulsalami and his junta members who plundered the nations treasury to the tune of $5 Billion in his 9 months as Head of State. If one-tenth of that stolen money under Abubakar was used to build a solid world class hospital in his home state of Niger or even Abuja - with world class equipments and Doctors - will be be going through the stress of seating in a aircraft for long hours going to get treatment in another man’s country ? Do you see African leaders like Rwandan President or South African president or Egyptian President traveling to other countries for medical treatment ?

As a human being - who loves God and humanity, I wish him speedy recovery but let us all count our teeth with our tongue!

Enough said!

QueenOfTheCoast:
all of a sudden Nigeria will need a man like Tinubu to fix Buhari's mess.
all of a sudden after 7 years they've now realised that Buhari's government is now a failure since campaigning for continuity of their party's failure means mocking Nigeria.
all of a sudden buhari is no longer the best thing to happen to Nigeria after cat fish pepper soup.
all of a sudden they're now Buhari's critics just to project and tested failure within the same party.
because how will they explain to Nigerians that their party is the cause of their problems.
how can they explain to Nigerian youths sitting at home that their party is the reason they're rotting at home when they're supposed to be in the school.
how will they explain to Nigerians that their party is the cause of ravaging insecurities we found ourselves today and that their presidential candidate will be recruiting 50 million youths into the army to feed them agbado and cassava.
how can they explain to Nigerians that their party has failed them in every aspects.

of course they have no explanation for all these hence their only hope is to go tribal and play their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.
but you as a citizen of this country ask yourself this question.
will tribalism better our economy to at least prior to 2015?
will tribalism end insecurity and make everyone safe?
will tribalism send our children back to school and equip our schools.
will tribalism make life better for an average citizen?

so after pushing for a failure to be President what next?
when the suffering comes will it select other tribe and leave yours?
today all Nigerians are suffering but Buhari got the highest votes from the North.

dear fellow citizens it's time to look into these people's eyes and tell them to go to hell with their division tactics.
at a point all major tribes never believed in Nigeria but today they made it look like they love Nigeria most but keep presenting bad leaders ruining this country.
it's time to say enough is enough.

THE YOUTHS ARE COMING!

Fellow Compatriots, I need you guys to understand that a lot of Nigerians who have never lived in a society where things actually work are scared of it, they love the confusion, the complains and criminality that has enveloped Nigeria because it gives them the excuse for the failures in their personal lives. These set of people are simply called “enemies of progress” and the earlier we identify them and avoid spending our precious time debating their foolish opinions, the better for our people and country!

Enough of Atiku and Tinubu - we can do better than these 2 old rogues!


With this statement made by Tinubu, he has proven that he is intending going to Aso Rock for his personal ambition first, secondly for his family’s welfare, thirdly for the people of Lagos, next his Yoruba kinsmen before Nigerians and we cannot afford that as a nation at this time

From his comments

It is my turn

First time a Lagosian is this and that

Shows this man is not a national leader but a very narcissistic, tribalistic and regionalist in nature - this is another Buhari in yoruba form who will appoint only yorubas in sensitive positions and won’t mind if the country burns down as long as his nepotistic inclinations are taken care of, Nigeria is burning and we not need this “us against them mentality”

This is not how Rwanda rose from genocide to become an African economic power and choice place for global tourism after the 1994 genocide - They abandoned ethnicity and embraced the common goal of nation building - that’s what Paul Kagame did.. If you are proud of Rwanda as a Nigerian, do you see Kagame in Tinubu ? The choice is yours!

PresidObi:
Peter Obi is thinking outside the box, Yahaya Ndu cant even identify what a box looks like.

Keep powering on, Peter Obi, so many people like Ndu and Atiku are making billions from our collective pain and misery, maybe Ndu might be importing and selling generators like Atiku.

Young Nigerians needs power to set up small scale businesses and industries that will employ our teeming young people in productive ventures, Egypt has made a succes of increasing their power output, Peter Obi is a visionary leader.

Sergio101:


Na this man go collect next


But it's really embarrassing that people are attacking obi for going to Egypt for good studies rather than going to Europe for medical checkup as other seasoned politicians.

Nawaoh!

I am honored to be the 100th person to like this post

ImoleNaija:
Assurance comes to mind...

this pikin rezembu white woman pikin for Davido lol

dplordx:
Next President insha Allah.
We are proud of you, Baba won 90% unlike some wey dey run like chicken from 1 party up n down

peter obi will continue to live rent free in your head - when Tinubu wins, and Lekki 2.0
happens I pray you become the first casualty!

Tareq1105:
Can you hear this Ipob Biafra agitator turned Nigerian? It's like you don't even know what you're saying. If your overrated Obi contest Senate with Okwunife today he would not win. Let him try his popularity with Soludo today he would lose. Nonsense!

you silly oduduwa igbowo amotekun afonja failed argitator lacking common sense - remove money influence, make the votes secret to check intimidation- will Tinubu win election as the secretary of Iragbiji Town Union ? Let Tinubu go and run first as Secretary of Iragbiji Town council and let the votes be secret, and see if he will get up to 3 votes - konkonbility

Reality3080:
don’t mind them

no be Nigeria again?

Once Obi wins - he becomes the president of the country, overnight 80% of the national assembly becomes Labor party members and they will either change and be loyal to Obi or Obi will let the people revolution phase them out quietly (no be all this our anywhere belle dace legislators who have no principles ? ) -

IF they don’t carpet cross to Labor party but want to be strong headed as APC and PDP members and give him tough time - the president (Obi) can dissolve the legislature (he has the powers to do so) and he will call for fresh legislative elections within 90 days and trust me, new politicians from the grassroot will pick up forms in the labor party and Nigerians will take that energy to the polls and massively vote for labor party because the campaign will be easy then “Our man is in Aso Rock, vote Labor for easy transition” - so let Obi win first every other thing will fall in line within 6 months trust me!

Gwan2:
I’ve been to several countries, and trust me…the major difference between a develop society and developing or under developed society is time management. To put it clearly, the difference between Africa and the western world is time management.

If you use a digital watch, immediately you land in most first world countries, the watch automatically update to the same time with the national clock or time…no room for flimsy excuses like my watch was a bit late or slow like we have here in Africa.

I’ve ran from my home to meet a train at a train station, and missed it by just a minute beyond the departure time. I have missed a flight from Paris to Milan by just some few minutes of delay on my part. The western countries peg their salary or wages payment to time, you think they are foolish…not at all. The secret is to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. If I pay you hourly, I will ensure you are more efficient at the job I gave you because I don’t want to waste my money, not like in African that we do monthly payment, people go to work, lazy about for two weeks and put in some work or effort in the last two weeks of the month, because they will definitely be paid at the end of the month. In Western society everything understands time, people understand time, inanimate things understand time in western world.

Submission of candidates at a given time is submission at that time..no rigmarole. Why will I set a time if I know parties can fill in replaceable candidates, the aim will be defeated.

Every candidate vying for a post should have had his structure in place before buying the forms.,, change will be allowed but on exceptional grounds. That will show how serious minded people are in the change of status quo they advocate. What precedence are you setting as a political leader to time management?

This is channelled to all the political parties…Time is of essence

Obi’s case is an exception- he decamped just on the nick of time and now he got the labor party ticket by the whiskers - he must have had a VP in mind if he won the PDP primaries but what if that person is not willing to follow him to Labor Party from PDP? And even if the person followed him to LP, were there not LP structures on ground with certain individuals manning it? you can’t just bring your VP too from another party and expect to foist him or her on people you met there - it’s not done.. so trust me a lot of consultation is going on on the background

sonature1:
This man is an asset to this country.

If country like Ghana has some one like Obi, they will make him President but naija democracy is 75% tribal/ religious/ ethnic sentiments, 20% deep pocket And 5% common sense and experience

PaChukwudi44:
Why is this beautiful thread not yet on front page? Lalasticlala!!!

i no understand oooo

SmartPolician:
Peter Obi movement is even bigger than him!

True, because the country is in a serious bind right now…. we need an Obi to get out of the mess we have found ourselves

Reality3080:
all these cos of him tu lie

The man that lies for a living

He won’t even win 2 Igbo states not to talk of winning all

did you watch the video i just posted? i guess you either do not have the intelligence to open the video or understand the english they spoke in the video

Reality3080:
do u realize tinubu was specially invited to witness d swearing in of obama among other numerous awards

the same Obama that destroyed Libya ? what is so special about Obama? Obama that gave us Buhari ? yes Tinubu and Obama are the same - they destroy the fortunes of the countries they govern as sow the seed of confusion everywhere

Guy for sleep and stop your Tinubu worship

Obi was a billionaire before politics - we know how he made his money - he is a trader, UK government has his tax information- what was Tinubu before politics?

ordinary age, he is lying

ordinary school result he is lying


and tell me he won’t lie to you about his source of his money


no worry since ona suffer and mumu never do, una go collect bad leadership

killings everywhere joblessness everywhere absent old president called buhari - and u want an absent old tinubu to take over


you and people like you are the problem of Nigeria -

PresidObi:
Peter Obi may not solve all the problems in Nigeria, but Peter Obi is the only aspirant with any chance of solving any problems in Nigeria.

I was moved to tears when I saw this video - why our people like suffer head like this? and later we start complaining of useless leadership

It's a pity a man like this is still being debated as an option to the likes of a known Thief Atiku OR a known bullion van lord of street urchins called Tinubu - a country truly deserve the leader they get

the operation to dirty up OBI and make him look bad to Nigerians has started

No wonder someone said recently - SOWORE and his gang are working for either Tinubu or Atiku codedly

NOW I BELIEVE!!!

solmusdesigns:





The Adeleke family are all hustlers and go getters


.

If this ROTUND Joke of a candidate is all Osun State has to offer, shame on Osun State elites!

Peter Obi was honored by Lagos Business School and all his current claims today of being an outstanding governor of Anambra State were validated then on July 23rd, 2014 by the moderator. The audience were not taking him seriously by their mood, he was appearing too serious for the occasion but Obi begged each of them not to leave governance to the least qualified in the society because it was a recipe for disaster - as if he had a premonition of the 2nd coming of Buhari. Nigerians there at the event most likely never envisaged a time when no one can travel on he road anywhere in Nigeria for fear of being kidnapped, unknown gun men shooting up churches, Nigeria becoming the poverty capital of the world and all we have seen and experienced in Nigeria since 2015

He warned Nigeria that - "when you go back to your homes this night, look at your children - then make up your mind, we must stop this abuse of our country, otherwise the society we abuse today, will take it's revenge on our children tomorrow"

please watch and make your assessment, but I believe, ANY NIGERIAN ADULT WHO GENUINELY LOVES NIGERIA should give Peter Obi a chance for at least 4 years to make the difference. Let us not say in decades to come - Peter Obi would have made Nigeria work and better IF only we gave him a chance, like some of our people still say of Awolowo today. Obi is the man of the moment, let's give him a try, happy viewing!

@ lalasticlala - oya push to front page, Thanks
