Politics › Re: A Break Down Of Tinubu's Pension Entitlement As Former Governor by Passionnn(op): 7:24am On Aug 22, 2022
Realist12:
But why is Obi highlighting that he's not collecting any pension from Anambra state government when it's not in the law. And he's sounding like he's the one that's rejecting it .
Did he propose a bill for it and was turned down by the state assembly?
No.
He's highlighting it so Nigerians can see Tinubu for who he really is. All the money Tinubu is being paid as pension is more than enough to build several world class hospitals such that he won't need to travel abroad for medical check up.

The above clearly shows that the institutional bogus allowances for former governors started with Tinubu. Despite what he stole as a governor, he insisted on a pension for life. Imagine a state like Lagos with 3 or more ex governors, each collecting these bogus pensions despite the fact that civil servants who have served for 30 months or more are starved of their well deserved pensions.
Voting in Tinubu will be the worst thing to happen to Nigeria in modern times

Politics › A Break Down Of Tinubu's Pension Entitlement As Former Governor by Passionnn(op): 12:33am On Aug 22, 2022
NEWSLagos: Breakdown of ex-governors’ pension as signed by TinubuPublished on November 10, 2020 By Wale Odunsi
The revelation that Nigerian governors live the best lives in and out of office is no news; what is interesting is the disparity and differences in individual entitlements.

Despite poverty, youth unemployment, neglect of babies and the aged, infrastructure deficit, underdevelopment of rural areas, high debt profile, and the likes, many states have continued to pamper and enrich ex-governors.

To maintain the lifestyle, their ‘excellencies’ and deputies get posh houses, expensive vehicles, paid vacation, medical insurance, and protective services.

According to the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), at least 22 states have passed laws allowing payment of life pensions to former governors and other ex-public officials.

They are Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Borno, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Imo, Lagos, Niger, Osun, Oyo, Rivers, Yobe, and Zamfara.

SERAP has been a strong advocate for an end to the huge remittances.

In March, the federal government asked the body to send a list of former governors and ministers that have received and/or receiving pensions.

Abukabar Malami, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice said the request was to ensure compliance with a court judgment on a suit by the rights group.

The AGF’s letter with ref: MJ/LIT/ABJ/CMC/661/793 was signed by Anne C. Akwiwu (Mrs), Director of Civil Litigation and Public Law Department in the ministry.

Lagos was reportedly the first state to implement the pension law. It was signed in 2007 by then Governor Bola Tinubu weeks before he completed his two-term tenure.

Tinubu, a former Senator, is the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party under which Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and President Muhammadu Buhari were elected.

On Tuesday, November 10, Sanwo-Olu announced that the pension law will be repealed.

He made the disclosure during the 2021 budget estimate presentation to the House of Assembly.

The Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension) Law No 11 Official Gazette of 2007 states that former governors are entitled to a house each in preferred locations in Lagos and Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Section 2 reads: “One residential house each for the governor and the deputy governor at any location of their choice in Lagos State and one residential house in the Federal Capital Territory for the governor on two consecutive terms.”

The law provides for six new cars every three years, 100 per cent of the basic salary of the incumbent governor (N7.7million per annum), and free health care for the beneficiary and family members.

Former governors will be entitled to furniture allowance – 300 percent of annual basic salary (N23.3million); house maintenance allowance – 10 percent of annual basic salary (N778,296); utility allowance – 20 percent of annual basic salary (N1.5million), and car maintenance allowance – 30 percent of the annual basic salary (N2.3million).

There is also an entertainment allowance, 10 percent of the annual basic salary (N778,296); and a personal assistant who will earn 25 percent of the governor’s annual basic salary (N1.9million).

A former governor is also entitled to eight policemen and two Department of State Services (DSS) operatives for life.

ImperialYoruba:
Ibo candidates contested in pdp primary. Delegates from ibo land voted for Atiku from North.

All southern govs met in Delta, months ahead of primaries. The gov of Delta, Ifeanyi Okowa hosted them, they agreed unanimously, presidency must rotate to South. After Atiku won, Ifeanyi lobbied to be vp to Atiku.

In APC, Ibo candidates contested. Delegates from SE were there. Tinubu won.

Put your horse before your cart. Ibo people gave Atiku victory in pdp. In APC, ibo refused to vote its own.
You do have a point.
But then you'll agree that what transpired in the PDP and APC primaries were repugnant to the point that delegates were openly bought by the highest bidders. The most vibrant politician from the south east in the person of Richas Okorocha was arrested days before the APC primary election.
Peter Obi saw the handwriting quite early. Without being told, I knew he tendered his resignation from the PDP due to pressures from the party leadership advising him to deputize for Atiku.
Today, Peter Obi is considered a major threat because the electorates perceive in him as different from the traditional politicians who believe that with their ill-gotten money they can get whatever they want. Let me stop here.
Thank you.

apache22b:
We all know in the minds of the so called Obidient's urchins, they want Tinubu to be the next President of Nigeria because Peter Obi will Fail even more than Buhari has failed. Peter Obi failed in Anambra and we the Nigerian youths cannot vote Peter Obi who is a monumental failure and a serial liar, never will Nigerian allow that to happen to us. Affliction shall not arise the second time, Never.

Peter Obi is a failure and should remain where his fellow failures are, just like Ngige,Obiano and their ilks ,just to mention a few.

For the likes of Babangida, Obasanjo's, Dangote ,etc to be supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu,they simply know and want the best for this Country, we must vote Tinubu into power to make this Country great again .

ImperialYoruba:
They usually blame Yoruba even on things we have no hand in.

They will blame Yoruba in 2023 for not supporting Obi to victory.
You have a hand in this.
Since 1999 when we returned to civilian rule, the south west has ruled for 8 years, south south about 6 years. South East, 0. The only chance of power getting to the south east is being hijacked by emi lokan whose health status and inability to articulate coherently could make him not complete the 4 years tenure if he manages to rig himself to power.
Yet YOU would still give him support because he's your tribe's man. Already, the country is as worse as it could get. And Tinubu nor Atiku doesn't have the antidote for moving it forward.
I am not an Igbo man. But just like Obi my desire is to see Nigeria working again.
Thank you.

what happened to ipob n Biafra?
Revolutions do not begin overnight. People do not just oppose the government just for fun of it. Even the various terrorists groups in the north who have caused more havoc to the nation in recent times do not seem to bother you. They still have both intrinsic and extrinsic reason for their barbaric actions.
Peter Obi has not been identified as a member of Ipob. Being an Igbo man does not automatically makes one an ipobian.
If Ipob is your major worry, be rest assured that Obi as president would calm the nerves of the agitators because one of their major preoccupation is to be accorded a sense of belonging in this project called Nigeria. Their calling for secession is borne out of the assumption that they are not getting that acceptance.
So, vote for Obi. He will talk to them and they will listen to him and the region will experience peace and tranquility once again.
Even the terrorists in the north will listen to him as he is more sincere than the other clownish candidates. Thank you.

Politics › Bola Tinubu Busted!!! (photos Attached) by Passionnn(op): 9:33am On Aug 18, 2022
Bola Tinubu has been revealed as a very openly corrupt leader. He was the first governor to design a very robust pension and salary for life package which even exceed that of the incumbent. This is open corruption. His perchant to enrich himself at the detriment of the masses is legendary. This is in addition to the Alpha Beta accounting consult through which he illegally siphons 10% of all revenues accruing to Lagos state.
With such wealth he can afford to bring bullion vans into his compound on the eve of 2019 general elections.
He openly shared over 20000 dollars to each delegate to buy the presidential ticket of the APC. If money is going to be a factor in 2023 election, Tinubu has stolen more than enough to buy each vote at 10000 naira. He's nothing but a political business man. Today he's riding under the umbrella of ethnicity and religious affiliations.
So it's time to speak to our consciousness if Tinubu is actually the saviour to rescue Nigeria from the current woe he put us in.
We must collectively say no to this man planning to hold us in perpetual bondage.
Let's have our country back!

Politics › Re: Flawed Reasons Why Lagos Is Ranked Second Most Unlivable City In The World by Passionnn: 7:59am On Aug 18, 2022
Umunze1stSon:
If the ranking was based on terrorism, conflict and war, then it is totally flawed and baseless. Unless they used the entire country as a case study, which is unlikely.

Between Lagos and Kabul
Or
Lagos and Tehran, which is more habitable?

Dakar in Bangladash and most cities in India and Pakistan are more disorganized, roudy and choatic than Lagos.
What's the level of infrastructural development? Is it evenly distributed? Are there slums? How's living conditions in the slums? Are there deliberate policies to develop them?
What about social services? Is public water supply available? What about transportation? How many hours do commuters spend on traffic gridlocks?
How about security of lives and properties? Are there activities of touts?
Sanitation nko? Is the city generally Clean? Are there cases of flooding after a downfall? What's the level of land, air, water and noise pollution?

Cities like Tehran and Kabul may be engrossed in warfare, but would score high in some of the other indices mentioned above.

Politics › Re: See What Happened The Last Two Times Igbo Men Ruled Nigeria. by Passionnn: 8:46am On Aug 17, 2022
HeeBraHim2:
I have seen many people claim that if Igbo men rule Nigeria, they will outshine the past president because they have the brains to develop something.

Anyway, I see that as a baseless argument because, if they are what you think they are, the South East they are ruling by themselves won't be the most underdeveloped region in southern Nigeria.


It will not also be the poorest region in southern Nigeria with the lowest IGR.

Anyway, let's go back to the topic! These are things that happened the last time Igbo men ruled Nigeria.

1) Firstly, Azikiwe used the power of the President to seize the University of Lagos and the University of Ibadan, where Yoruba people used cocoa money and their sweat to build, and he used his brother, another Igbo man, to be the leaders of the schools.


2) Ironsi Aguiyi became President after a coup that took the lives of many HAUSA and Yoruba leaders without putting a death sentence on any of the soldiers that carried out the genocide attacks.

3) Aguiyi Ironsi: change the true federalism that the British left for us to a unitary system to have control over all the mineral resources that exist in the country.


Another reason he did that was to prevent a retaliation coup, because once the system has been turned to a unitary system, all military personnel will be under his reign.

4) When Aguiyi Ironsi established the state in 1967, he removed Lagos and Kwara from the Old Western State in order to weaken the political power of the Yoruba people.

Meanwhile, he didn't create any states in the Eastern Region at all, not even Bayelsa or River State.


The calamity of the first coup and changing the true federalism to a unitary system that Igbo man started caused 89% of the problems that we are facing now.
So the reason for distorting historical facts is to pave way for rotten teeth nonagenarian Yoruba parkinson ridden senile to rule Nigeria?
How many times have you protested the use of northern people to head over 80% ofevery government agency since Buhari became president? How many times have you condemned the domination of the oil industry by notherners despite not having a drop of crude oil in their lands?
Who exactly constructed unilag and UI? Was it the Western regional government? Was Aguinyi Ironsi responsible for increasing Nigeria's regions from 4 to 12? Which history book are you reading?
If power rotation is necessary for unity to be maintained is it not fair for the SE to have its turn? Is it really the emi lokan of Tinubu or the SW? These are fundamental issues, but no, you would rather publish thrash on why the SE should be sidelined. Yet you said we are one Nigeria?
Your tribalism stinks. Either repent or it will consume you.

Even IPOB knows Tinubu will win. Peter Obi himself knows he cannot win. Obi has become a captive of his aggressive supporters and has completely lost control of his campaign. He doesn't even have a recognised campaign spokesman. IPOB is his campaign team.

Take it or leave it, Tinubu is the next president. Tinubu l'okan and he will be a great president because he is prepared to lead. He has been preparing for a long time and he dis well I Lagos State.
Stop deceiving yourself.
Tinubu is senile and incoherent. He can't put two words together right now without commiting blunders. He's being packaged like an infant. He's not allowed to make public utterances except the ones written for him to read. It shows his head is vastly empty as a human being. He may have been warming up for a while same way Buhari had been warming up since 1999, but still ends up a monumental failure.
