Softmirror: But it surprise me how the Northern governors who are mostly APC show so much support for a southern candidate in the person of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win for their APC party.
Because in the next 4 or 8 years, it will be their turn again. But let a northerner get it now, it will be more difficult for a northerner to stake a claim in the next 4 or 8 years. And most of the current governors are between 55 to 65 years.
Tinubu agrees to Buhari/Northerner's presidency before now because of this moment. It is the reason he never try to contest for President in 2007, 11, and 15.
Prinnce1: in politics,you have to play not too smart to your opponent and this include guiding your tongue, we all know the truth about tinubu influence over APC emerging 2015. Buhari made up his mind long time a go.
And that's what Tinubu has been avoiding all this while, by keeping mute, yet it appears Buhari is hellbent to make sure he never gets it. Or you think Tinubu would have run Nigeria the way Buhari is doing? I strongly doubt it.
But at this late hour, if Buhari can't support Tinubu, he should let the whole world see those that betrayed him for who they are. And if possible, sow the seed of distrust among them.
If any of them is offended by Tinubu personally, they should all come out and tell how Tinubu first betray them.
Abujason: So if a person with questionable character and background helped you in the past somehow, it’s ok for you to pay him back by giving him access to your most priced and valuable assets?
I hope you will say yes to this.
I guess you're referring to Tinubu as someone with questionable character, but who among them is a saint? At least neither Dapo, nor Buhari himself.
As for your question, Yoruba will say "omo buruku lojo ti e." Meaning "A bad child has his heroic day."
This is the time we need a radical that can fight cabal, and brings technocrats to handle our nations.
Check well, even all his options of VP in 2015 all sound minds (Yemi Osibanjo, Yemi Cardoso, Wale Edun).
Tinubu has never been the one to promote mediocrity if given the opportunity.
Prinnce1: he shouldn't have said this, desperation is written all over his words. Tinubu is a smart politician no doubt but the north won't want him because he is perceived to be powerful and won't do their bidding I will advice him to be careful of those northerners that following him around .
He needs to say it. Imagine you helping some people to rise through the ladder, and at some point, you need their favor, and suddenly, they just decide not to help you, how will you feel? Did he offend any of them personally?
They should come out and tell us what Tinubu did to them personally.
The Ambode issue doesn't fly, he contested the primary and lost. Sanwo-Olu won the primary election with 970, 851 votes against Akinwunmi Ambode's 72,901.
InsideLove: Thank you very much for taking time to write this. I have done some writing jobs before for someone who wasn't reliable and trust worthy, and for that, I quit. Sourcing for another writing job has been a challenge to me. Please would you mind enlisting me as one of your writers, at least for the first 2-3 jobs? Thanks as I hope you find my appeal considerable.
Send your WhatsApp number. You can post it on an old thread and mention me there.
BowenSurf: Can you put me through this content writing of a thing? I'm a very good writer. I wrote some stories in the past. I had contemplated suicide, but I'm thinking maybe I can get out of my lingering ordeals.
Keep checking the job section here on nairaland, you'll definitely find a writing gig.
To start with, if you know you're a good writer, don't mind the small pay in the beginning, but don't go lesser than #2 per word.
For a 1k words that will be #2k pay. You can finish that between 2 - 4hrs for a start. You learn to be quicker as you grow in it. You become better and faster when you choose a specific niche and stick to it. E.g Health, Finance, Cars, etc.
As you grow more confident in your writing work, with more samples to showcase as your own, you gather more clients including referrals from places you don't even know.
Now imagine, you're writing an average of 1.5k words per day every day excluding weekends, that's an average of #3k × 20 days = #60k, without moving up and down.
I exclude weekends because you will need rest, otherwise, your writing quality will reduce, and you might lose clients.
So when you grow in it, you write more content daily, and you also charge more.
In this industry, as a beginner, you need a Grammarly app for grammar correction (a free version will do for a start) and some other free websites to check for plagiarism, before submitting to your clients.
Advice: Beware of fraudsters, when you're just starting. Don't agree with clients that will pay you weekly, or monthly.
Get paid first, before you agree to another job from the same client until you build a strong relationship with him/her.
Sometimes, there may be a delay in payment from your client, be calm with the situation and explain your worry to the client. Don't rush to call your client a fraudster.
Payment, after submission of work and acceptance from the original client, can take between immediately and a few days. Anything after 3 days is a red flag, beware of such clients.
Note: I got my first client here, at the rate of #1 per word, and the client gives me an average of 30k words to write per month then. So do not despise your humble beginning.
Also, you can look for more writing communities here, and on other social media like Twitter, Facebook, etc., to get more clients and referrals.
Good luck with your journey.
InsideLove: I'm interested please. I do I go about especially sourcing for writing jobs?
Become a content writer. You're sure of 50-100k monthly at least if you're good and consistent as a beginner. As you grow in it, with your wide network of clients, you earn more or later become outsourcer.
kellexnuel: Congratulations to the shortlisted candidate, try and score high in cbt test. Don't even fail anyone by all means cause the competition is high. Goodluck
RepoMan007: Buba Marwa. I understand Atiku is a big threat to Tinubu given APC's woeful performance that made PDP suddenly look competent.
Lol. Are you talking about the same current Chairman of NDLEA, who refused to pay the latest recruits 6 months of their salary? Alaye, talk about another thing.
You guys should be praying if you haven't checked the list. The shortlisted candidates are fewer compared to the last time during this stage. But that would be good news for the lucky ones.
"In keeping with the established internal policies of the Party and as we approach the Convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to solicit the reciprocity and support of the Governors and other stakeholders in picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023."
It is either this news outlet is trying to play a trick or Buhari's writers are trying to play smart. There is no need to repeat a single paragraph word for word.
Adezanotti: Bros you sabi how many other caucus dey find Auxiliary? Auxiliary wey dey hide up and down wey Makonde dey avoid make e no use em own spoil em work for Oyo state. After 8yrs of Makinde na carry dem go com carry am land for Abuja abi u no knw say case full em head nd na makinde wey dey power dey cover am smo smo. Remember say Teslim wey b thief b federal boy!
I understand. But Teslim being a federal boy would end if he fails to win the gubernatorial election because there won't be senatorial power for him to leverage on again.
As for Auxiliary, his cup is full already. Whatever comes his way, he should be ready for it.
Adexxi: Wielding sword Auxillary and his boys dey wait for him. In that his local govt he would be rejected , who go vote this kind man , if not for desperation of Ajumobi I don't see why he brought Teslim to his fold
Hmmm. That would be a revenge time for Auxiliary. Because Auxiliary was the 2IC of Late Eleweomo then.
Adexxi: I don't think Teslim can come close to Makinde , even in his local govt he would be defeated , people no just like this man, even my neighbor who is a core Apc member is saying Makinde already sealed his 2nd term .....who wan vote baba pakute
That's the thing. Teslim is unpopular.
The majority of the people in Oyo state view him as a protegé to Late Adedibu (godfather of thuggery). Also, people consider him to be generally violent (his issue with Eleweomo is still fresh in people's memory).
A few days ago, it was rumored that he was wielding sword to show that he's ready for whatever it takes.
Plus, Seyi is generally popular and well-received among the populace/electorates who are not politicians.
HardMirror: I want to make it official, loud and clear to my fellow yorubas that are supporting tinubu. He cannot ever be president of this country. Everyone knows he is a thief and he did not develop lagos, rather he created tax agencies that would give him a cut of lagos money. If that is what you call development then something is wrong with you.
Tinubu has never taken a serious stand concerning security in this country, he wont and cannot fight bandits. He is not just that man his goal is playing politics and not the internet of the people. He sees nigerians as fools that can always be controlled with money. Mark this thread and call me out on monday. Tinubu will never ever be president of Nigeria. Only wicked tribalistic people wish him to be president.
Kano Apc Tinubu faction have all moved to NNPP
NUHU RIBADU CANNOT WIN ORDINARY PRIMARY ELECTION IN HIS STATE AND HE IA THE ONE PROMISING TINUBU DELEGATES.
una go learn politics on sunday.
Why are you ranting?
Let the delegate do their job first. Then if he wins, we, the populace can do our job. However, if he loses in either the primary or general election, he can evaluate himself better.
Munamoqel: The uk govt is up to something .that over half a billion pound in tution fees inflow into the uk ,then rent ,visa fee,IHS oboy this better than owing Dangote refinery .can the uk accommodate this population of mostly migrants. Disguised as student.
Interesting. Not to talk of other nationals. Someday, all the Africans will migrate to Europe.
In the meantime, why can't the third-world countries employ competent whites to rule them? Making and enforcing laws.
Even though, this is the UK, what happened to this down below? Do you care to explain, at least we can learn from your perspective This your post was in July 2020 o.
9jaHustler: I will stay in Nigeria and become even richer by investing wisely and living a good life. Not everyone in America is successful
9jahotblog: even 95% of APC members support BS reelection bid. You seem not to know what BS has done extremely well in Ede Federal constituency. Some of his gigantic projects are in Nairaland presently. Google his projects and see things for yourself. BS everywhere you go. Send the best and get the best.
95% of APC? okay, I'll quote you after the general election.
9jahotblog: honourable Bamidele Salam will win in landslide victory in Ede Federal constituency . BS has done extremely well in Ede Federal constituency he represents. The electorates loves him and the good work he did in the last three years that he has been in Ede Federal constituency.
Landslide you say? APC only needs a formidable candidate, Ejigbo will be a goner for PDP, and depending on the APC candidate, Ede can be tilted towards APC
9jahotblog: not true. Ademola Adeleke has said it times without number that he’s not in support of any aspirants, he said it and it’s on tape that all the aspirants should talk to their delegates in order for them to win niiii
