We that applied for change of voting unit, will ours be printed as well, anyone knows?

Yes! Go and collect yours.

I also did voter transfer in May/June this year.

I collected mine this morning.

DIVAD2000:


You have clearly lost account of history

Apc wasn't even a party on its own in the first place

It is a merger of ACN, ANPP, CPC and nPDP

Study the history well before you comment

Tinubu's party was also a failure in contesting against pdp

You are the one who didn't read my write up..
Did you see where I mentioned "before APC was formed"?

Please read carefully before making comments.

lansile:
Buhari isn't truly a APC party member, he only needed to emerge under any party and APC fulfilled his desire. Now APC or whatever comes after is of no interest to him anymore. hence, Tinubu is on his own to succeed. If he did, good for him and if not Baba has used him already.

Unfortunately, I feel that you are so correct.

So bad for Buhari to behave that way, considering that he had been a serial loser before APC was formed, others dropped their presidential ambitions and gave him the mandate to be the presidential candidate at the famous convention at Teslim Balogun stadium.

SMH!

LordIsaac:
Buhari had wanted Lawan...but Jagaban showed his sagacity, simple. Anything committed to Buhari's hands can never ...

And if truly, Buhari wanted Lawan, that gives you an idea the kind of person Buhari is.

Where was Lawan when he, Buhari was contesting presidential elections and losing serially?

Where was Lawan when Tinubu and the nPDP decided to come together with Buhari, form the APC, drop their own presidential ambitions and allow Buhari to take the mantle at that famous convention at Teslim Balogun stadium?

Where was Lawan when Tinubu and others took it upon themselves to campaign for Buhari in 2015 and 2019?
Gratitude and reciprocity to those who have us a hand during the low points in our lives are very important qualities of successful people, even the Bible emphasizes it.

Well, posterity will be there to judge him... God's desire will be done come February 2023.

I tell people, Buhari's nepotism and bigotry was his greatest undoing during his administration and after May 2023, he will not be politically relevant locally and internationally, compared to Obasanjo and Jonathan.

DIVAD2000:


Hmmm it's interesting I'm seeing the first sensible Apc supporter.

It's nice seeing your views.

But remember "your choice" can affect everyone else.

Thanks sir for your comments. As per my choice, we are all entitled to our choices...it's a God-given gift. We should only ensure we do what our conscience and the spirit of God in us approves of.
Elections is a game of numbers...the majority carries the day.

My choice cannot affect others. See, my future and that of my family is secured in God... irrespective of whether I vote or not, or whom I vote for, or who becomes the president of Nigeria next year.

Like I told you before, the last time I voted was 2011..I didn't vote for Buhari or Jonathan...yet I can tell you that since 2011 till date, my life and family has progressed, irrespective of who has been in power. Infact, it was in 2018 that I landed my biggest project so far, despite the fact that Buhari and Emefiele have rubbished the economy.

What I am saying is that if a lot of Nigerians will for once just vote their choice but not put their hopes on Nigerian politicians as the only reason why their lives will move forward, but rather trust in God alone and not any politician, they will see progress in their lives even if dollar becomes N2,000 to $1.

My 2 cents.

Realists:
See better pikin giving Nigerians Tomato factory, unlike the other Aspirant disturbing us with " I invested in Beer Factory" as if Alcohol na food.

That's one of the major reasons why I can never vote for Obi....a whole state governor invest in brewery...out of all the productive ventures that a governor or state can invest in?

For about 3 years now, I have been a consultant on my biggest project so far...a multu-billion naira specialist teaching hospital somewhere in the South West of Nigeria. This hospital is a CSR project being donated by a private individual to a university, with top grade Medical equipment amounting to millions of dollars. If a private individual is doing this landmark project that will take the health care delivery in Nigeria to the next level, pro Bono, why will a so-called governor invest the state's hard-earned money in a brewery? What economic value does a brewery bring to any region, state or country?

I, who has never held any government position before, have tons of project and business ideas that people in government can implement that will take Nigeria from the status of 3rd world to 1st world within 5 years. These ideas are stored in my personal notes, saved for later when I will put them into a knowledge format for sale to investors and government players.

Thus, I'm incensed when I learn that someone invested state resources in a brewery, of all investments on planet earth!

SMH!

DIVAD2000:


But how will Tinubu run a transparent government, when he is not answerable to the people ( I mean the public answering direct questions and giving straightforward plans not manifestos).

You once claim in one of your post that you acknowledged the Buhari government was bad. But you are voting Tinubu because of his person. Now that Tinubu is exhibiting the same traits as Buhari, what makes you think his government is safe?


( I'm asking this question, because you're the first sensible Apc member I've seen on nairaland)

How is Tinubu not answerable to the people? Is it because he hasn't granted Arise TV interviews or town hall meetings? Didn't you see what happened to our beloved Saint Peter Obi yesterday at Arise TV yesterday?
I guess Tinubu has avoided Arise TV because of such incidents... that's the power of foresight.

Meanwhile, Tinubu has been strategically dialoguing with people and groups that he believes will make an impact on the election results...what any erudite politician would do. He has met with the who is who in the Kano business world 2 weeks ago, met with the who is who in Lagos business world last week through LCCI last week; today, he is meeting with farmers in Niger state... check the APC campaign schedule...he has so many meetings with strategic groups and associations outlined for the campaign trail, besides visiting each state for campaign rallies. In all these meetings, he has presented his plans and manifestoes...at least I watched the Kano business summit live for quite a while.

I believe that at the end of the campaign, everyone (groups and people) who are interested in hearing from him would have done so.

That's political strategy...not just showing up at every interview and town hall organized by every Dick and Harry, as Peter Obi has been doing.

I rest my case. Let everyone vote his choice.

Mind you, the last time I voted in an election was 2011...and then, I only voted in the governorship election in my state for Ibikunle Amosun....never voted in the Presidential election.

2023 will be the first election in which I will be voting in the presidential election. I'm doing so based on the candidate's antecedents, nothing else.

casualobserver:
Now you amateurs understand why Tinubu doesn’t attend these debates. You only attend events that will benefit you. Not every interview, debate or town hall meeting you will be accepting. If you are not going to gain anything by attending then don’t attend. I repeat what I said in a previous thread, it is better for people to speculate you are a fool than to give them the opportunity to confirm you are indeed a fool! It is better to be quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and be confirmed a fool. Every time you attend an event or open your mouth to talk it must enhance your electoral chances or you stay away and shut up!!!!

Part of Obis problem is that each time he attends an interview or townhall meeting or debate, he damages himself. He has reached the point of diminishing returns, People now realize the hype is more than the content. The Euphoria of mr clean, mr I left money, I have 2 shoes etc has worn off. Now people want to know your plans and ideas but he has none. He would be better served to be less visible and ride on the Euphoria!!! Not all publicity is good publicity!!! Every public function or debate he attends now is showing him off as having no substance. Even his fans are realizing this which is why Hundeyin is saying he shouldn’t have attended. Ofcourse he won’t say it’s because he didn’t show substance, he will say it was biased but deep down he knows Obi did not have a good showing because he has no substance!!!

It just shows Obi has poor judgement and has poor handlers and is not ready to be president!!! Virtually every media event debate or interview Obi has attended or granted, he has embarrassed himself or shown he is not up to the task. From not understanding climate change, to not knowing the difference between monetary and fiscal policy, to not understanding how to address tech, to saying trust me when asked how he will tackle security, to shouting at Dino is an unpresidential manner yesterday….every time he opens his mouth nowadays he makes a fool of himself.

You are not in the race to benefit your opponents, to increase the ratings of a tv station or to give anybody clout. You are in the race to win, so if a debate, interview or attendance at any event will not benefit or Enhance your chances……stay away! Simple!!!!

If you do t understand this simple concept you are not ready to be president as clearly you don’t have the strategic mindset for the job of president!!! If you cannot control your own narrative, your own agenda, you don’t have the wherewithal to be president!!!!

If you cannot see the obvious trap in attending a debate hosted by a PDP organization, one needs to wonder how low your IQ is. Tinubu wouldn’t fall for such an obvious trap!!!! Arise is owned by Nduka a well known PDP man, Abati is a well known PDP man, I mean how daft are Obi and his team? What did they expect?

Very sound and matured write up!

You are a politically smart and wise man!

DIVAD2000:


Smiles

My God doesn't support liars ( APC promised a lot of things in 2015,how many have they fulfilled).

Your tinubu used holy Communion to explain climate change ( will they do that for Islam)?

I respect your hypocrisy.

Thanks.

That doesn't make you or anyone supporting Obi saints, you know.

Your statements prove your level of understanding of whom God is.

God is never a politician... because in all political parties all over the world, there are both good and bad people.

Therefore, God in his just nature, cannot support one party over the other. He makes the rain to fall and the sun to shine both on the good and the bad (Matthew 5:43-48).

That's the problem the Republicans in the USA have...they reason just like you...demonizing the Democrats because of their general beliefs, forgetting that some Christians are also part of the Democratic party, based on ideology.

That will be all from me.

DIVAD2000:


You claim Christianity is in the doing right?


Has APC done well?

Yes or no?

Let's see if you're truthful.

I'm voting for Tinubu (personality and achievements), not APC (party)...same thing as you people claim to be voting for Obi (personality) and not LP (party). APC as a party led by Buhari haven't done well.

After living in Lagos for 30 years, I have experienced what Tinubu did during his era as governor and his successors. I have also been in Awka for a construction project (GTBank branch in UNIZIK, Awka) between 2012-2013 when Obi was governor. I have a very good idea of the poor state of things in Anambra state during his tenure, which many of Obi's people complained about even here on Nairaland.

In comparison of the 2 candidates, Tinubu is a far better choice for me based on achievements, antecedents and quality leadership he has brought to the fore and leaders he has mentored.

DIVAD2000:


People loose their lives to insecurity ( which is worse under APC)

We are very religious in this country, but still a poverty capital of the world. You even said "God"and you're supporting APC.

I wonder the"God" you serve

And why are you doing the opposite of your advice.( Read your last paragraph)

Bros...why shouldn't he mention God? I serve God wholeheartedly and I am voting for Tinubu...same for thousands of other Christians... what's your problem with that?

How righteous is the Obi you support? What's your assurance that his name is written in God's book of life? What do you know is going on in his heart?

How many so-called Christian governors and politicians in Nigeria are true Christians and heaven-bound? Or do you think God only reckons with people that "CLAIM" to be Christians? It's not in the Claiming but in the Doing!
Don't even let us go there!

Bros... abeg rest!
Vote for your candidate and let others vote for theirs.

SMH!

NigeriaIsGreat:
LOl

Is it Buhari an APC man that will not handover to his fellow APC?

Lol

If you believe your word is so powerful then i would beseech you to use it upon your family for God should liberate them in generational poverty

The rich folks doesn't come to nairaland to drag over who will win the presidency

Whoever wins isn't their business. They are self made already not president will make them rich

This bolded quote of yours is one of the best things I have read on Nairaland in recent times and is something that I have come to understand, which so many Nairalanders seem not to understand.

Its foolishness to rely on politicians, let alone Nigerian politicians, to make life easy for you, rather than working and trusting God to open doors for you.

May God deliver these people from their poor man mentality.

SMH!

Ebubu:
4-5 months? imagine. my own, i’ll first date you for like 8 months, study you very well, if i see any red flag, i won’t propose marriage.

in that 8 months i’ll check if you still have emotions for your ex, if you’ve gotten over your ex, etc

Sir, you are on the right path. Keep on this path...you won't make mistakes by God's grace.

I did the same thing during my courtship and it paid off. Our marriage clocked 11 years in August 2022.

As per exes, I don't understand how a person in relationship with somebody will still be entertaining exes...it beats me.

I did a video on my YouTube channel in which I addressed the issue. You may take a look at it.

Stay blessed.

TakeNigeriaBack:


Its madness. I used to be like your friends until one day I decide to sit down and think. I realized that the ONLY state in the South where development and progress is happening regularly is the same state that is suppossedly in the pocket of Tinubu. This makes me realize that Tinubu is an achiever if all the governors he is accussed of 'selecting' are doing such amazing jobs. How many of Ibori's selections have done anything in Delta? What is Okowa's achievement currently? Hatred blinds people from seeing reality. The reality is that Tinubu is the most competent administrator in the South if not the nation. I hope he wins and puts Nigeria in his pocket.

You are so correct! So succinctly put!

Unfortunately, many Nigerians on this forum seem irredeemable. When people dislike progress, they themselves can't progress and things will not go well with them all round....even the Bible speaks about these things.

zionstaar75:
I laugh when I read this kind of unintelligent response,how will a venture that will provide thousands of employees affect u?even my 8 years old daughter can't talk like this,it's pathetic

You shouldn't be surprised.

A lot of people on Nairaland reason with their stomach only... according to them, every thing and policy that happens in the country must be viewed in the light of the cost of rice, beans and tomatoes in the market & how much they can buy them.

SMH!

TakeNigeriaBack:
Tinubu gets my vote OVER anyone running right now. The say he put Lagos in his pocket yet Lagos is developing every single day with massive infrastructure. Abeg Tinubu come and put Delta state in your pocket so that we can also see some development in Delta.

On your mandate I stand gidigba Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

True!

It's the successive leaders of the NDDC and some Niger Delta States that have really personifed the true meaning of putting their people and state in their pockets.
When a leader puts the resources of his state and people in his/her pocket, there will never be any development in that place, that's why NDDC hasn't had anything to show for the trillions of naira they have received in the space of 21 years.

omonnakoda:
On another thread someone was lamenting about Lekki seaport

Why is there no seaport in the Niger Delta they wail

The embezzlement is more than this

Since 2000 the NDDC has received over $40 billion

Not to mention 13% derivation
Not to mention amnesty money


What do they have to show?

$40 billion will make the Niger Delta a Dubai 2.0. Unfortunately, greed of the same indigenes of the Niger Delta has made the reverse to be the case.

I have said it recently...the best thing that FG can do to NDDC is to disband the entire management, employ foreign specialists in regional development to handle the projects and contracts of the NDDC without any interference, similar to what is happening in the gulf countries like UAE, Oman, Qatar, etc.

Only then will the resources of the NDDC be used for it's purpose - the development of the Niger Delta and nothing else!

Give them 5 years...you will see how the region will be transformed.

Angelfrost:
Niger Deltans are their own worst enemies!

You all keep claiming that oil companies and FG are your problems, but right under your nose, your very own sons and daughters are robbing you blind while helping you point fingers outside!

Same thing with Southeastern people...

Your elders, youths, and leaders from amongst you steal and loot daily what's meant for all of you, and all you ever do is abuse Buhari!

Just look at the insane amounts of money they divert monthly... Money that can turn the entire region to Dubai!

Thank you! You have said the fact!

El-Rufai, our astute Quantity Surveyor..senior colleague of mine in the QS profession, well done sir!

Irrespective of how high you go in life, your training and experience as a Quantity Surveyor never dies but always comes to bear in various spheres of life and influence!

I have seen it manifest personally.

Brendaniel:


Firstly I said 1999, which means no military governor is involved, so we are talking about Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode exclude Sanwo-Olu for now till he completes his tenure, from my ratings Ambode is still the best among the 3 I mentioned up there, Fashola was exposed as minister, that's why I said if it were Ambode that was APC presidential candidate, I may have supported him over Obi....

Ambode is not a noise maker, I have friends in APC Lagos, so I know why Ambode was removed...

Oga.. answer my question...I didn't speak much grammar above!

List the things 1,2,3,4,5... to 100 that Ambode did that made him the best governor...is that too hard to answer?

What is your parameter(s) for measuring the best governor?

I have lived in Lagos for 30 years and I added Buba Marwa as a military governor because Ambode didn't make as much impact in Lagos as Marwa during his tenure.

Answer my first question and prove me wrong or forget about it!

Ambode for where? If Ambode is your standard for best governor, then your standard for Nigeria going forward will take us to the dark ages!!

SMH!

Menclothing:


Since your gov failed woefully allow people who want to.celebrate their own do that


Only in Nigeria will some1 not work but because he belong to ur party choice its fine

But someone is working and hate speech on him


hold your gov accountable let them build infrastructures.

I celebrate all working gov I dont celebrate party but individual hard work.

You are so correct, sir...much more at the bolded.

OkoAmarashy:


You igbos are very evil people. When they post pictures of development in Akwa Ibom, you insult and wish them bad. Same thing you're doing now.

That is why your land can NEVER develop. You will always go out and serve others before you can make it in life.

You're so correct on this point, including the Akwa Ibom matter. I recall when Ilaumoh posted pictures of Akwa Ibom state development and you would still find these people castigating Akwa Ibom state.

SMH!

Lionnation:
if the Nigeria looks like Anambra with more than 80%of the people millionaires and less than 1% living bellow poorverty line we will all be happy train and pile of substandard concrete everywhere does not make people happy

80% of the people are millionaires and they are living in other places except their state...who does that??

Which state, people or country of the world has wealthy people and all of them are living and doing business outside of their state or country?

From Russia to China to India to USA to UK to Canada to Brazil to South Africa even to Nigeria...all the millionaires and billionaires live in their origins and not elsewhere.

Try harder next time!

Mubiola360:

May God forgive you for this nonsense talk.
During the time of Ambode, Lagos was so dirty and the roads are getting worse by the day, Local government aren't functioning . I can tell you for a fact that if Ambode had won the primary, PDP would be in power by now.

True Lagosians knows this.

Please tell him more!

I have asked him to tell me the things Ambode did that made him the best governor... I'm still waiting for his reply.
After living in Lagos for 30 years now, I can boldly say that Ambode is the worst governor Lagos has had. How many projects of Fashola did he continue when he took over? He stopped them, made Lagos State like a pig sty through his Cleaner Lagos initiative, stopped the private PSP operators from working. Lagos is progressive by design and plan, not divided and retrogressive...thus Ambode had to go.

It's some Igbos that generally support him because he fell out with Tinubu. The enemy of my enemy is my friend... that's how they reason.

Brendaniel:
The noise on this blue rail line is getting too much, can they just finish the work and let people start enjoying the service, it is like the project is now been used as a campaign tool instead of serving the people, this is one reason I preferred Ambode's government, he doesn't make noise with projects, you just see the project done without media hype and ceremonies.

Ambode is still the best Lagos governor since 1999 - but Tinubu removed him because Tinubu wanted to steal more for himself and his cronies

Ambode? When did you come to Lagos?

Kindly tell me the things Ambode did that made him the best of all the Governors, including military governors like Buba Marwa?

Tell me... I'm waiting.

This is my 30th year living in Lagos, so I am waiting for your detailed response!

Ambode my foot!

InvertedHammer:


/
If only the Sanwo-Olu lady will grow some balls and take credits for his works.

Everyone knows what Ambode did in Lagos. But Sanwo-Olu is behaving as if Tinubu is the de facto governor.

Ambode? When did you come to Lagos?

Mention the positive things Ambode did in Lagos vis-a-vis what other governors have done in Lagos..I want to hear them.

plaindealer:


Shey good news no deserve to be on the front page?

Why are you Igbos always mad, upset and angry when you see progress and development?

I bet if na sharing 1-gallon kerosene in your village, your bel;e go sweet.

Saddists

And they claim to desire the best for Nigeria by voting for Obi? A lot of them online are so anti-progressive. They joined in shouting Edo No be Lagos with Obaseki...years after Obaseki won through PDP, they have never queried Obaseki on why he has refused to develop Edo state.
They never query their failed governors in the South East but will shout my state is PDP, PDP is my state, yet no development. In Lagos where there's development, they want APC out and PDP to take charge.

How can such people turn around and say they want the best for Nigeria?

SMH!

MeaslesMumpsRub:


You are just a scammer like Peter Obi.
If you won't vote for him have some shame and respect for your unborn kids and not collect his money

Just ignore that guy!

The same Anambra that didn't have traffic lights on major roads until 2017/2018?
The same Anambra that didn't have any flyover until 2020/2021?
The same Anambra that almost half of the state is now underwater?

Yeah, Obi did really well for Anambra
Man open your eyes, this is Nigeria, not Anambra. We are far more civilized and can't be ruled by people who don't know what is called development.

Very true!

That's why when people support PDP and all its appendages, claiming their state in the SE and SS is PDP and PDP is their state, I don't take them seriously because PDP especially the states has never been synonymous with development, save Akwa Ibom and recently, Rivers with Wike.

My mum hails from Edo state and I grew up in Edo state for the 1st 11 years of my life before coming to Lagos and I have returned to Edo state on different occasions by virtue of project works.

It's on record that the only democratic government that brought serious development to Edo state was Oshiomhole when he was governor with the ACN. Lucky Igbinedion did nothing, Osunbor did nothing, Obaseki (Mr. Edo no be Lagos) hasn't fared better either.

SMH for some people that I share the same country with.
