OneEyedSnake:
Nigeria has one of the highest lending rates that hover between the high 20's to mid 30's percentile. We are talking loan shark unbridled medieval Jewish usury rates here.

These rates exist because of govt reckless spending and a monetary policy that seeks to continue to devalue the naira owing to low forex reserves brought by same govt recklessness, corruption, and IMF/World bank dictated policies to devalue the naira.

Nigeria's inflation is not tied to easy credit and bank loans flooding the economy rather it is caused by a very unfair interests lending rate and govt recklessness . How many people really do have access to bank loans ?
The number of households indebted to banks should not be about to 1% of the population unlike in the US where everyone is mortgaged to their necks and having medical and student loan debts alongside credit card bills to contend with. Nigeria remains a cash economy with little or no debt driving consumer spending unlike in the US where such hike in interests rates serves to limit lines of credit while mopping up excess liquidity brought about by the US Fed's covid stimulus cheques.

For Obi to state that increasing rates that are already in the loan shark region as a panacea to solving inflation shows he is an idiot with no single comprehension on how economies and monetary policy operate.

I have always maintained that Obi is dangerously half educated and grossly misinformed on global economics and geopolitics and that he only references articles and talking points dished by propaganda outlets like The Economist, World Bank Reports and the ever lying CCP.

The biggest mistake Nigerians will ever make (even worse than the disaster Buhari) is voting this man into office.

Obi is a trader, he doesn't understand how the national economy works.
Only a fool will hope an Alaba market trader can turn around the economy of a country.

Jennifer663:
That's nice of him.

A trader who contributed to the destruction of our economy is discussing economic recovery

Seriously you should leave your cave and travel out to avoid disgracing yourself any further..

I should leave Lagos and go to where? To the forest of southeast that even the natives are running away from?

FromZeroToHero:
This can never make front page. Seun Osewa is the greatest tribal bigot i have ever seen.

Even if it makes the front page, how will it help you or your Peter Obi candidacy?

hope4nigeria:
I've done that already my brother. No matter how worse, your own is your own oh. Infact. Tinubu is the next president. Iet him be a ghost. I will vote him.

Very good!!!

Baba wey no dey give shishi dey charge $250 for townhall meeting. Anyway, Farooq Kperogi is returning the favor. If you no go give shishi, e no dey pay shishi. Guy man no fit dey job guy man

Seriously though, why is Peter Obi charging as much as $5000 in some instances for his town hall meetings in America? Is this dude scamming Nigerians? Is he cashing out all in the name of presidential contest? What exactly is the registration fees for?

The dullard (Obi) who came out of school with a third class after 8 years in school didn't even know it's not allowed in our electoral law to raise fund outside of Nigeria for election. FG is now beaming a search light on foreign inflows into their accounts. Some of them may be arrested even before the election

hope4nigeria:
aaaaah. Go and check many of my post insulting calling tinubu a greedy man, check my Facebook post where I posted Obi/dati support but I hate lies, that's what we're condemning TINUBU for, but now that you people started showing your true self I'm withrawing my support from useless people/tribe thinking they can achieve success alone, without others. It's now very clear that igbos are the most foolish people on the planet. Even when you come to Yoruba land and succeed, you will still condemn your host

A lot of you didn't do your homework very well before jumping into this Obi nonsense. Good that you have seen the light... Now go and delete those posts on your FB and Twitter pages.

Arysexy:
And this disgusting thing is a redeemed pastor?

We are waiting for you to do your worse.

With this kind of bigoted mindset, imagine what this one will do to Igbos if his husband wins (God forbid)

Very useless woman

As e dey pain you, e dey sweet us.... She spoke the mind of an average Yoruba person. And I am confirming that to you - she spoke my mind about you guys

zaki2:
What exactly has the Igbos done to Yorubas that will warrant such hate? Is it a must to support Tinubu's ambition? There are numbers of Igbos that are die hard supporter of Tinubu. This is a democracy for fucck sake?
In 2015, your Oba threatened to drown Igbos if they don't vote his candidate, as if Jimi Agbaje is Igob. Now, another round of threats.
Even the notherners are not this venomous to on who Igbos support. We have been supporting other candidates even down to an Ijaw man.
For the very first time an Igbo is on the ballot with a widespread support, una don turn am to tribal fight. God forbid!
Please, go ahead and start attacking Igbos in your region. That will be one of the best gift you will end up handing over to the Igbos. Adaka

You guys started this with your shameless ingratitude to the Yorubas who accommodated and allowed you to live as if you were in your homeland. You're even adulterating our culture with your bad manners, bad upbringing, and rather criminal lust for money. Yet, you're still being accommodated. You didnt do half of this in Ghana, SA, and UAE before they swooped on you - unfortunately, other Nigerians also have to pay for the sins of these same people.

If we hated you, the number of Igbos in SW wouldn't have been this much. You need to look inward and begin to learn civility and allow the religion you claim to show in your actual day-to-day dealings.

zaki2:
I just tire for this country. The hate is too much. Can't we just separate in peace? I read comments here and I cringe.

Leave Lagos first to show your seriousness about leaving Nigeria.... Or you think if Nigeria breaks, we will allow you to stay here?

zaki2:
Ndi'Igbo are truly an endengered species, just like the aborigines of Australia. Attacks from all angles.
Dividing their lands and claiming their resources.

I tell you nobody has attacked Ibos in Yoruba land and I appeal to you not to push the Yorubas into doing that. The day the Yorubas decide to do that, I pity all of you (ibos) in SW.

A video is currently trending online where Tinubu's wife spoke in Yoruba saying they will chase igbos away in Yoruba land and take over their properties before 2023.

Some Yoruba people interpreted her comment to mean.

"We will invoke Lagos deities to chase away the Igbos who refused to learn our language. Those that insisted not to marry the Yorubas, we will inherit their belongings."

This is RCCG “Pastor” Remi Tinubu, Tinubu’s wife and the woman that wants to be “First Lady”

This is some Reactions on twitter.

Obi and his financiers should not oooo. Our people must chop from his money - he hasn't organized 1m man march in Osun, Kwara, etc.

Oya Obi, reel out more money

Yeye, as if Tinubu's wife is not a Christian - will she also vote for Peter Obi? Only an irredeemable bigot will vote for a non-performer just because of religion.

Battle 4 2023:  Why Tinubu's "Structure" Keeps Standing Tall Despite The Odds Matters Arising

By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah


https://ireporteronline.com.ng/blog/battle-4-2023-why-tinubus-structure-keeps-standing-tall-despite-the-odds/

Any structure that is based on substance will definitely stand tall. If you build a castle on lies like Obi is trying to do, the castle will collapse overnight

Obi is in Canada meeting wailers and IPOB members

Mom007:
What needful? Y'all have no shame!

What does a learner like you know? Are you not an Obidient?

The next president is meeting the former presidents, calming fray nerves down, and holding out an olive branch where necessary. That's how to show readiness for leadership. And doing this with an entourage from all parts of the country.

The other dumbos are making noise here and there within their comfort zone.

Breaking: Bola Ahmed Tinubu Visit Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan

Well done our incoming president!

Doing the needful while some are flying from one country to another as if there will be polling units in Germany, Canada, etc.

Nigerianization:
The lie was that Lagos is the fifth largest economy in Africa. I just gave you number one to seven. People should stop being ignorant. How can the economy of Lagos be bigger than countries like South Africa and Egypt?

Just because you want to hype Tinubu. For your information, Lagos is the biggest economy in Nigeria, nobody is disputing that. So make una lie with sense.

How can you intelligently controvert that without providing the correct Lagos GDP? You guys are not learned and I can see that in your candidate too. If you want to go into an argument. go from a position of knowledge.

Dsalvo:
Tinubu is not "pro North" and I am always baffled at how you Nigerians can make patently incorrect statements just to support the stance you have taken.


Tinubu is a political leader aspiring to be President of Nigeria. To argue he is pro North you must show , from his leadership belief and political leaning, how he is pro North.

While virtually all Northern leaders, including Buhari, believe in spending government money derived from oil, Tinubu is a big fan of an economy diversified aggressively away from one source of income alone.

Tinubu believes in decentralization of power most Northerners will never contemplate that let alone support it. The North loves bureaucracy and bloated governance whereas Tinubu favors efficient, compact and 'streamlined' models of political and administrative leadership.

I could go on all day but point is that I really hate the dishonest way the average Nigerian is always happy to give a dog they hate a bad name to hang it.

Aside Tinubu's awareness he must compulsorily work with Northern politicians in 'one Nigeria' how exactly is he pro North? Or is that what you conclude makes him "pro North"? Perhaps because he worked for Buhari in 2015 against GEJ then that is pro North to you ba?

Conversely, how is Atiku more liberal and Pro South than Tinubu? Because he married a woman from virtually every State of Nigeria? What progressive political thinking does Atiku share with the South? What liberal policy has Atiku ever pursued for the North or even his native Adamawa?

I really don't get you people. You just take a side and then just craft arguments, however ludicrous or patently flawed , to back your corner. SMH.

We first need to ask if he understands the meaning of "pro-North". Most of these guys are not that learned. To an average igbo man, anyone who is not calling northerners cows, terrorists, etc is pro-North. They are so daft

Nigerianization:
Lagos is not the fifth biggest economy in Africa.


People also ask
What are the top 5 strongest economies in Africa?
The 2022 estimates are as follows:
1 | NIGERIA – (GDP: $510.58 Billion) ...
2 | EGYPT (GDP: $435.62 Billion) ...
3 | SOUTH AFRICA (GDP: $426.16 Billion) ...
4 | ALGERIA (GDP: $193.60 Billion) ...
5 | MOROCCO (GDP: $133.06 Billion) ...
6 | ANGOLA (GDP: $124.86 Billion) ...
7 | KENYA (GDP: $114.68 Billion


Please what's the GDP of Lagos? Liars

You haven't made any point until you state the GDP of Lagos. The GDP of Nigeria is $510.58 Billion - what do you think is the contribution of Lagos?

Dsalvo:
It can never be the automatic turn of a region who take a 'food is ready' approach to political power when you always show a disdain for assisting to cook the political meal that delivers power. You only want to eat after others put the effort in to cook the meal. You want the biggest portions as well.

You demonized and rejected the APC at birth yet you wanted to insult and blackmail the Party into 'dashing' you her ticket at the detriment of the deserving Yorubas.

You then failed, over 22 years, to make yourselves serious and dominant players in the PDP because you can never put in time and effort consistently over time. You people are always about instant gains.

Should the serious, strategically calculative and politically powerful Yorubas now join you to throw the slot of the South away pandering to the joke challenge of Obi he chose to prosecute in the joke Labour Party?

In fact Obi's conduct is indicative of everything wrong with Igbos. You demand things and wish to blackmail everyone but you are always found wanting when others are laying foundation block and ensuring the house has the requisite structural strength it needs to serve us all as shelter.

What you Igbos should have done, assuming you people are even into progress for Nigeria, and also assuming you are a patently reasonable and progressive people, is to negotiate with and partner with the SW that already has the capacity and political strength to mount a winning Presidential challenge.

My take is that you Igbo are a vainglorious and unreasonable people who only want the Presidency for the sake of it alone, and to dominate/control others, as you Igbos have historically remained obsessed with gaining without any interest in paying the political dues and partaking in the bridge-building that may make you dominant political players.

A big example is how the whole Biafra noise is dead completely today because Obi is now running. What bigger argument for the insincerity of the average Igbo than that?

If sincere about Biafra then why has Obi's Presidential challenge made you abandon it?

If previously serious about the Presidency why not put in real effort, beyond lip service alone and a sense of entitlement, into grooming a fit and united challenge for it?

The reason an average igbo is either a trader or a criminal dealing in drugs, fraud, etc. Always impatient for results - they want results without commensurate efforts. I also think they lack the capacity to properly plan, clearly see the end goal, and remain steadfast. This makes them look politically immature and therefore unfit to lead the nation. The igbos need to enroll for training on national politics in a complex country like Nigeria. Winning an election and managing a country like ours requires some level of sophistry which no politician from the igbos race has at the moment.

silibaba:
if you agree is the turn of the south then why not agree is the turn of the southeast as well?

Obasanjo/atiku. - southwest and north
Yaradua/Jonathan - North and southsouth
Jonathan/sambo. South south and north
Buhari/osibanjo - north and southwest

Looking at the above and if you can be sincere, which region should produce the next president?

But we are not after that now. We need the man with a good thinking cap.

Peter the rock is the man.


We saw and still seeing how Tinubu converted Lagos to his personal atm machine.

They removed Abode from office coz he refused to play to the gallery (to be remitting N500million monthly into ancestor personal account)

Funsho William that would have brought sanity to Lagos was assassinated.


We don't need old people that should playing with their grandchildren in Aso rock).

This election is not about tribe, religion, connection, structure, brother, sister. It is about leadership, competence, transparency and much more.

Obi, where you at?

It is the turn of the south and we have to pick someone who is detribalized, civilized, not a religious bigot, competent, and with formidable track records. You don't go into a national competition with a Lilly-livered igbotic contender without any track records of achievement in public office.

That's why we say Tunibu is the man.

Testing mic... The Obi's crowd will fizzle out when the campaign proper starts.
