MURIC has spoken.

Now, when is Soyinka and Pastor talking?

When is Adeboye leading a protest?

Or is he just another tribalist deceiving his victims ‘in the name of God’?

Don’t underestimate the power of fools in large numbers.

The above is a classic maxim that sounds like a cliché but it’s ever potent, and will remain potent forever.

The reason a character like Reno Omokri blocks people with the intellectual and rational capacity to question the trashes he consistently posts on X, is so he would be left with large flock of brainless followers who would swallow every bunkum he throws at them as true.

In keeping with the above, yesterday, he claimed that Dangote controls 21% of Lagos economy but yet he’s so humble but Igbos will always claim they built Lagos and are pompous.

I was not surprised to go through the comment section to see intellectual deficient minions praising what he wrote without questioning his submission to ascertain the truth value of that assertion.

Well, that’s what I’m here to do.

Let’s question what Reno Omokri said about Dangote controlling 21% of Lagos economy.

And the first question is, does Dangote control 21% of Lagos economy?

What drives the economy of a state or country? Is it large corporations or MSMEs?

Lagos is a city with a population of nearly 22million people. What percentage of this population does Dangote employ?

How much does Dangote pay in taxes to Lagos Government, and how much does Lagos Govt generate from markets like Alaba, ASPAMDA, Computer Village, etc?

If Dangote controls 21% of Lagos economy, what percentage of California’s economy does Apple and Google control since the two companies are both headquartered in California and they are both more valuable than Dangote by far?

What percentage of Texas’ economy does Tesla control since Tesla is headquartered in Texas and is equally more valuable than Dangote by far?

So, you see, a lot of foolishness sound like wisdom/knowledge to an unthinking mind but don’t let it deceive you.

What Reno Omokri said is absolute foolishness, falsehood and outright distortion of facts.

Lagos is not Lagos because of Dangote company or because of the large corporations headquartered therein.

If there’s any group that forms the engine room of Lagos economy, it’s the Medium, Micro and Small Scale Businesses. This category employs the highest number of Lagosians, and this category generates the most money for Lagos.

Large corporations do not build economies.

Infrastructure, as much as it adds to ease of doing business, does not build economy like some people claimed under Buhari.

So, next time, before you celebrate any trash from Reno Omokri, subject it through logical and rational dissection to know if the statement is truly reasonable.

Penguin is a bird of reason.

How does he intend to tackle insecurity...

How did Tinubu plan to tackle insecurity?

It’s not uncommon to hear non-supporters ask “what would Obi have done differently?” “every presidential candidate promised to remove subsidy.”

But the main question has always been how.

Below is a documented steps of how Obi intended to go about subsidy removal which wouldn’t have thrown the country into the kind of chaos and crisis we are into right now.

Now, can you compare this to the disaster we currently have?

Agbaddo is looking for what to make themselves happy with.

Penguin, stop the continuation of petty threads on NL.

Don't you even want to be respected at all with your level of intelligent?

Yours is just We vs Them which only exists in your head

Haven’t you lots treated everything in Nigeria as a We vs Them thing?

With all you know of Tinubu’s antecedent, you chose him over other candidates and have supported all his inhuman policies.

What is your motivation?

Ogbuu101:
Nwoke Izhii,ndee?

🤔🤔🤔

Identify yourself 😈

During the election, most of us threw our weight behind the best candidate on offer who was none other than Peter Obi.

But some people, because of tribalism, shortsightedness or outright ignorance, chose to vilify Peter Obi and Obidients, promising to teach them a lesson.

When after the election, INEC announced Tinubu, they were supposedly laughing at Obi and his supporters that they will learn lessons.

But yesterday I was coming back from work and due to lack of fuel, we pulled over to get fuel from a black marketer and he said 5litres of fuel was N8000. That’s N1,600 per litre. And this was in Lagos o. I could only imagine what it would be in places like Sokoto and Kano.

Now, the price of fuel has gone almost times 4 and it is still not available.

Because of the price of fuel, price of transportation has gone astronomically higher, and with it would be the price of commodities again.

So, my fellow countrymen, hope Peter Obi is learning his lessons?

Can anybody confirm if he’s still able to afford one litre of fuel?

Or a paint of garri?

Who knows if he’s still able to feed Margaret once a day?

Huh?

Wike’s fall will be loud.

And I will be here to laugh at him

Creating vacancy for an Olaniyi to takeover 😏

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

I typically do not engage or discuss anything online and offline with Igbos because they are given to so much emotions and are very quick to insults. Go back to your posts to me and you will see how you have been insulting me by telling me about corns in nearly every of your replies to me. You also used the term "ilk" in yet another post. You called me an Igbo hater just because I could not see a single Igbo politician big enough at national stage. You made things worse when you told a blatant lie against me claiming that I said Obi helped Atiku when I never said anything of such.

S!lly of you to not have deduced that I was referring to Obi helping Tinubu; it was a mere mechanical accuracy error that made me say Atiku which an intelligent person would have grasped but I guess intelligence is a scarce commodity in your camp.

And about emotions…. If I were emotional, I would have wanted Peter Obi to stay in PDP and help Atiku win in 2023 but you have seen me endorsing the move he made which killed Atiku’s ambition.

And about you not seeing any Igbo politician big enough on the national stage, need I remind you that the 2023 elections was a supposed 4 horse race. After much rigging, Obi was placed 3rd with just 800k votes difference between him and Atiku who came second.

But unfortunately, as influenced by tribalism, you claim Kwankwaso who came a distant 4th in the election with about 5million votes behind Obi is a more national politician than Obi that went head to head with a formidable candidate like Atiku and even Tinubu and won 12 states as other 2 candidates.

Now, explain why I should not see you as a Peter Obi hater and an Igbo hater by extension.

DUMB&ST00PEED IP0B everywhere...

E be like say your brain dey pain you. Where in any of my posts did I say Obi helped Atiku?

I did not even bother reading all of your mumble jumble about southern politicians giving northerners ultimatums, You just came here with all these radio biafra stories. Southern politicians who have no unity neither do they even have a single objective gave northerners ultimatums? Where did the southern politicians meet the northerners and who did they meet. How come no one else knows anything about this meeting except radio biafla and IP0B? Peter Obi ran like a coward politician when he saw that he was not going to be picked as Atiku's VP because of his past dubious ways when he ran on the same ticket wit Atiku

As for that Pandora criminal called Obi, his destiny in life is to help Tinubu become a 2 term president of Nigeria and I am perfectly fine with that.

I thought you wanted to have an intelligent conversation?

I thought you talked about logical reasoning?

Is this the best you can offer?

Shame of me to have expected anything reasonable from korn 😏

Nwaamaikpe.

Wrong

There’s what is called “olulo udaume” in Igbo Language. It’s what happens when two vowels appear together in a word and one of the vowels has to give way.

So, it’s Nwamikpe and NEVER Nwaamikpe.

If I may ask you too, what is the new justice's son doing at the event?

Where is he in the picture?

And even if he’s there, it’s her mother’s swearing in, and it’s traditional that her family will be around to celebrate with her.

Now, what was Seyi doing there?

numericalguy:
It is easier for snow to be found in the desert than to find logical IIGB0S. I never really expected you to see the logic behind my analysis which was why your insults to me were not unexpected too.

Peter Obi remains one of the biggest reasons Tinubu is president today because he deflated Atiku’s supporters tremendous and people like me will always want 0BIDIENTS around in 2027.

True my analysis are on probabilities because I can not see the future and anything could change but from what is on ground, Peter Obi is on his way to helping Tinubu become a 2 term president of Nigeria. The margin might even be less but Obi will still fulfill his destiny of helping Tinubu to win presidency twice.

IIGB0S are just being delusional and very silly when they assumed anyone not supporting Obi is an Igbo hater. No single Igbo person made my cut simply because there is no single Igbo politician that is worth mentioning at national level. I hope you realize that Kwankwaso will defeat Obi if they were to be just Obi and Kwankwaso contesting,

If I was to apply the DUMB logic that anyone not supporting Obi is an Igbo hater to you, it also mean you are also a Fulani, Yoruba and Hausa hater after all you didn’t support all the Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani presidential candidates

First, you can’t use my word against me by calling me Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba hater because you haven’t seen my list of preferred candidates so you could see who they are before you can make such assumption.

And about Obi helping Atiku…. It’s good to see that you people are finally admitting and accepting that Tinubu is president today because of Peter Obi. Now that you people have accepted that truth, I would advise you lots learn to put more respect to Peter Obi’s name and stop disrespecting him.

Lastly, with all this your grammar, I’m disappointed that you are the one actually suffering what you are accusing me of. You lack foresight. That’s why you could not see that the north wanted to hand the south the shorter end of the stick in 2023 by making Atiku succeed Buhari after Buhari had ruled for 8 years. If they succeeded, it would have been collective 16 years of power in the north.

To prevent this, southern politicians went out of their way to tell the north that they do not have monopoly of strategy. That’s why Obi could not stay in PDP to help Atiku win but you are angry about that, unfortunately.

The end result of the game the south played is the Tinubu disaster we currently have. But since the north is not interested in the good of generality of the entire country, then the south will join them in foistering disaster until we have learned our lessons and ready to get Nigeria working.

I hate to talk too much but you just made me do that; and more angered because I doubt you have the mental capacity to grasp the perspective I’m coming from still.

Lastly, you still haven’t said corn 🌽.

This is a photo of Chelsea Clinton and the then Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mohammed Uwais. Please fact-check me: Chelsea officially represented her mother, Hillary Clinton, the then First Lady of the United States, during this state visit by her father, President Bill Clinton, to Nigeria in 2000.

Ivanka Trump was a Senior Advisor to her father, President Donald Trump, from 2017 to 2021.

Mark Thatcher was on his mother's trade delegation to Saudi Arabia in 1985, when she went to promote British business. And his company made £12 million profit. Please fact-check me. George W Bush travelled with his twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, on official trips.

So, it is silly to attack President Tinubu because his son, Seyi, was at the Presidential Villa during the swearing-in of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.

He has not represented his father or the First Lady. He has not been appointed to an office by his father. And he has not been awarded any contract by the Federal Government.

How can his mere presence at a swearing-in be a crime or a wrong? Yes, at meetings when the cabinet is conducting the affairs of Nigeria, he has no business of being there. However, the swearing-in of justices of the Supreme Court and federal cabinet members is a public event. Family members and friends of those to be sworn in are allowed to witness the event. It is not a big deal.

Do not transfer your aggression on the President and his son simply because you did not or do not enjoy a good relationship with your own father. What they did in this Kekere-Ekun affair is completely above board.

Let's stop majoring in the minor!

Reno Omokri.

Copied.

Reno Omokri is now you people’s darling, Abi?

I sha hope he remains so when he turns on Tinubu like he eventually would.

And to the topic, so you are using what happened in year 2000 to justify what is happening in 2024?

You can’t see the difference in time? That what was tolerated then can’t be tolerated now.

And how does Chelsea Clinton taking pictures with Justice Uwais equate the attendance of Seyi to CJN swearing in? How?

Jakumo:
One of Abacha's children even went to the extent of dying for Nigeria while relaxing aboard a presidential jet.

Now that is patriotism. The only heroic act more patriotic than dying in a presidential jet would be to croak on the down-stroke while humping an assortment of Indian carnal knowledge consultants, also known in less polite circles as street lizards.

God breast Nigeria.

Lol!

I thought this was Nwamikpe.

A picture of Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has emerged where he was among those seated at the swearing in ceremony of the new CJN, Justice Kekere-Ekun.

Now, the question is, what was he doing there?

What position does he hold in government to seat in such official function?

Where did Tinubu and his family learn this from? Or do we have an example of any past president that ever did this?

Recall when Tinubu was on an official trip abroad and his children were lined up before serving ministers in protocol standing which infuriated the media czar, Reuben Abati as his tongue lashing of the act made it a national controversy.

And now, this?

numericalguy:
Like I said before. Logic is alien to IIGB0S which is why they will never be good politicians. Stop being emotional and look at politics as a game of numbers where you plan, make moves and calculate your winnings.

Only a northerner can defeat Tinubu and Atiku remains the strongest Nigerian (in present day Nigeria) that can wrestle power form Tinubu and any supporter of Atiku who decides to leave Atiku will very likely go to Tinubu.

Peter Obi never stood any chance from the beginning. He was just a spoiler for Atiku. To make matters worse, the image that Tinubu is a religious zealot on a mission to Islamize Nigeria will not sell again. Many Nigerians now see Obi for who he truly is, a religious and tribal bigot and a pretender. Also, the constant attacks on Lagos and other Yoruba cities, insults of 0BIDIENTS on Yoruba leaders like Soyinka, Adeboye, etc have made many Yoruba 0BIDIENTS to begin to rethink their support for Peter Obi

Tinubu will not be defeated by a south easterner much less a spent Peter Obi

FYI, my support will come in this order
1) Tinubu
2) Shetima
3) Atiku
4) Kwankwaso

Lol!

Just to inform you, Peter Obi has not lost a single supporter since after the election; and you know it. That’s why you are putting your conjectures under probability.

One thing I’ve deduced from interacting with you so far is that you are an Igbo hater that’s why no Igbo politician made the cut of those you plan to support.

Now, say corn 🌽!

I am talking sense you are talking nonsense, am I talking about politics or concerning the current state of the nation.. alatenuje, omo ale yoruba, we yoruba are known to have intergrity not clown like you that have sold common sense and conscience for 30k monthly which cannot sustain a responsible man for two days

You don’t even have your facts right and you are talking to me.

So, they told you I’m a Tinubu supporter?

numericalguy:
Logic is not making Bode George an enemy of Atiku the way Paul Ibe (an Igbo man) is doing as that would greatly benefit Tinubu

It is as simple as that.

That means you still see Atiku as an option?

You are one of those that would support Atiku in 2027 if he runs as alternative to Tinubu, right?

That’s why you care about Bode George not being enemies with Atiku.

To you and your ilks, Peter Obi is not option.

Lol

Typical DUMB&ST00PEED IP0B completely bereft of the ability to make logical discuss.

numericalguy:
A good politician needs to be logical and logic is what IIGB0S lack.

For you to be successful in politics, you must be calculative, friendly and build bridges. Nothing erodes a politician's popularity than insults and that is what IIGB0S and 0BIDIENTS are good at.

IIGB0S erroneously think so highly of themselves for them to think people support Tinubu out of payback for Igbos. That is laughable. Tinubu is a far better candidate and Nigerians voted for him.

Why would anyone expect IIGB0S to suffer in Nigeria after all all IIGB0S are billionaires and richer than Dangote. Una no suffer but na una dey cry upandan since Obi lost the elections.

Did you just say Tinubu was the best candidate on offer in 2023 presidential election?

Naaaaaah! I can’t be expending my energy on Corn 🌽.

go and sit down. Nobody for Delta support ned

Yeah, Izu Anioma are based in Sokoto abi?

Ned know that igbos will support him as they have 5 states, while he will use d opportunity to become governor. A win, win. They will lose

So you think you can win against Ned, the multitude of Anioma sons and daughters who are of the same school of thought and the entire 5 Southeast states?

alimiadedayo1:
so anybody that says the truth is a northerners or do you think all people from south region think foolishly like you? when we are talking about how to make the country grow for better and get rid of politics of animosity and tribalism, you are here playing the same sound and people are still suffering. A southern president who is making life miserable for both the southerner and the northerner is a good president? how did we get here or are you out of your mind? i am very sure you cannot raise a good family talkless of raising a good generation

Save yourself this tears and go and cry it at the feet of Mahmood Yakubu, the northern cabals who chose Tinubu over Peter Obi and the ijiots who voted Tinubu because of tribalism.

Or was Tinubu the only alternative to a northerner in the last election?

Why are you making it seem like the choice was either Atiku or Tinubu?

Or would Atiku have been a better choice?

numericalguy:
Paul Ibe should be sacked and distanced from Atiku if Atiku is to be a national player in politics. People like Paul Ibe are the reason Peter Obi is a local champion

IIGB0S are just too emotional and short sighted. I am a Tinubu supporter and I can tell you that making Bode George an enemy is a huge plus for Tinubu but IIGB0S are too short sighted to see it.

Bode George is not to be made an enemy because he carries a portion of SW people who will follow him anywhere. Making Bode George and enemy will mean those people will eventually support the present government

I’m not wishing to make any enemies for Peter Obi, but if anybody thinks he wants to support Tinubu as a payback for Igbos, he can go ahead and do that with his entire generation.

Make I know whether na Igbos suffer pass for the disaster wey we dey inside.

alimiadedayo1:
so you are happy with the current state of this country? how old are you by the way?

Whether I’m happy or not is immaterial to the topic of discourse.

If you are a northerner, cuz you seem like you are from Kwara, tell your leaders to play the kind of game they played in 2023 and see if Tinubu will not continue in 2027.

Creamypie:
are you a Deltan? Am a deltan, and we have replied Ned.

Yeah, just the way Tinubu supporters will say “we voted for Tinubu”. Meanwhile they’re an insignificant minority.
