this is the reason I say even if obi wins. Dey won’t allow him succeed.

But his Obidients think Obi can make changes.
So say when he comes, he will reduce the salaries of the Senators. They no nothing about how Nigeria works.

PHIPEX:
It was a very selfish proposal by this govt, they want to throw the new administration into crises after paying subsidy for 8 years

Trust me, the new Govt would be grateful to Buhari. Deep down everyone know it needs to go. But no one want Nigerians to hate them.
Buhari will take all the hate to himself.

ArmaniUhuru:
Removing subsidy without functional refineries will make living more difficult for the masses.

Where the refineries wey bubu promise sef?

Port Harcourt refinery will be ready for use soon. And there's Dangote refinery on the go.
Just be patient.

Buhari removing the subsidy would be his greatest gift to the next President. He would take away all the hate of making fuel expensíve away from the person.

bennybuhari:
When I was saying one president will come that will show Dangote shege, I didn't know ordinary Yeye Bello can treat his fuvk up. Say no to Dangote's monopoly

And you think Nigeria will become better if Dangote falls?

Sometimes we Christians do things that we'll never accept when it's done to us.. 99% of Christians will never accept it if Muslim come to our houses and preach the way we do.

I'm a Christian but I don't like when a Christian comes to preach to me.. Especially if he or she is inviting me to his/her church.

Sometimes, when a preacher stops me and invite me to his Church, I tell them I'm a Muslim. Yet you'll see them say, "It doesn't matter, you can still come. We are all one"
Then I ask them if they've ever been to a mosque before. They say no."
How do you expect to convince a muslim to come to Church, when you've never been to a mosque before..

Imagine Casillas was in a country where Datti Baba+Ahmed was a President with absolute power. Casillas would have been killed.

You have to give it to the Igbos. While Nnamdi Kanu scammed the Igbos and made them donate to the Biafra project, Peter Obi has succeeded in scamming Nigerians to donate for this cause.

But the good thing is that just like Nnamdi Kanu, Peter Obi will fail woefully.

First rally was women rally. This one is road transport workers rally. Youths haven't done rally o. Professionals haven't done rally o. If they now combine rally nkor?
Asiwaju is phenomenal.

It is today that I know that Nigerians are cursed.

This is the same Nigerians that use to insult Nigeria and say, "Nigeria use to import common toothpick"

This is the same Nigerians that are applauding this Pandora policy..

Vote4Obi:
You're getting it all wrong. What do you think is the major reason for forex scarcity in Nigeria? Simple, due to lack of exports!

I don't think Peter Obi will implement the removal of import restrictions as his first policy on assuming office. From what he stated last time about oil producing areas, he obviously has plans to stop oil theft and ensure Nigeria maximizes its full oil production and exports. Once our oil exports return to normal like anything close to 2mbpd, pressure on dollar will reduce since we will be able to shore up our reserves. Importation of refined petroleum takes a huge portion of our forex, hopefully Dangote refinery will come on stream soon.

Are you aware that when ships bring imports, they would also want to take exports to avoid running at a loss? So, when more ships are coming to Nigeria, it would make our exports cheaper too.

Again, how is mere rhetoric on import restrictions by government helped? Has it stopped those goods from entering Nigeria? No! Have it stopped importers from seeking forex from the black market to import them? No! That policy is only helping the economy of Togo and Benin republic! It's only helping corrupt customs personnel to enrich themselves at the expense of Nigerians.

And what exactly will the Ships return with, when everybody in Nigeria would be busy importing instead of producing?

How I wish a renowned economist like Okonjo Iweala can be asked for her opinion on this trash idea of Peter Obi.
If she actually see it as a good idea, I will vote Obi in 2023.

But I trust Iweala. She's not as dumb as Peter Obviously is.

God bless you, this means a lot. Please don't forget to subscribe to support ����

Done. You did a good job there.

derecho:
He never sabi wetin dey hapun.
It's gone beyond you.
APC +PDP presidential candidates must be retired.
Peter Obi is the reason no one is looking your way.

How many jobs did Obi create in his 8 years?

successmatters:
Where is the controversy? Why arresting everyone with a laptop?

I go around with laptop almost everyday. I come in contact with police. I've never been arrested for carrying a laptop. Not even when I was without my receipt.

98% of boys arrested are yahoo boys whether you admit it or not.

MatrixReloaded:
After they will say Buhari is the best thing that happened to South East. Yaradua would have done much more beta if not for health reasons which the fulani always play their weird political gimmicks. If a Dam have been created and sealed , water ways will run only through the river banks and escape through the river Niger. Okowa is a nonentity because Asaba which is the capital is flooded too and he have never visited Anambra state which is his closest allies to spearhead the waterlog affecting this zones.

Can you STFU?
This is the USA in 2021.. Why didn't they created a dam and seal the water ways with their $6 trillion national budget?

Faber:
5th President of Benin Republic...shame no dey catch you. October 1 Obi shut down entire Nigeria, you are walking down Oshodi and making noise

K

N11.92 billion is less than 0.06% of the N19 trillion National budget.

WisdomCanada:
Peter Obi will cut all those padded cost of governance once he resumes work in 2023.

The highest he can do is cut the cost of the Presidency and his ministers. He can't touch the budget of the legislature. Unless he nor want make them approve the budget.

Even Buhari with most Senators in APC couldn't do it, is it PO with all the senators in either APC and PDP that will do it? You guys are still children when it comes to Nigeria politics and governce.

Leebliss13:
Just think about this. Between a young bride and a bride that is 70+ old, who will you marry as a man ??


Ooh, you see that you didn’t even think about it in a split sec.

Vote with sense.

I'm sure you won't marry a 60+ old bride over a 25 years old virgin either.

Urheadmaster:
Christians should wake up


The revelation has just begun

Guy STFU, don't rally happen on Fridays too?

By the time Obidients eye clear, Tinubu would be reading his October 1st speech as the 5th President of the 4th Republic.

yinkus6750:
What a failed state.
How can Ebonyi state be so successful in infrastructure and leadership, while Abia is seriously retrogressing ?
It's a big shame on past and present leaders of Abia State.
I hope they get it right by 2023

And funny enough, they hate Umahi because he's in APC even though he's much better than Ikpeazu.

In 15-20 years time, if Ikpeazu and Sanwo Olu are gunning for Presidency, some people will look you in the eye and tell you that Ikpeazu is better. They will tell you that Lagos is rich that is why Sanwo Olu perfomed. They will justify Ikpeazu's incompetence.

Even Peter Obi's Fidelity Bank would not employe a second class philosophy graduate.

Eriokanmi:
I hope the urchins won't rush to conclude it's obidients at work. The last time i checked, same criminal elements also attacked the Labour Party vehicle in that region .

Urchins were even mocking us then. Na turn by turn.

South East is where Obi will get most of his votes and it seems like UGM go spoil am. You suppose dey cry

hspda:
How did unknown gunmen became a household name in Nigeria?

Are we saying non of the law enforcement agencies could unravel those behind the name?

No group have come out to accept they're the ones doing the crime. Even though everyone knows it's IPOB, they still haven't admitted to the attacks.

Boko Haram, Al Queda, ISIS etc always claim their attacks.

tctrills:
If private companies cannot run the steel project, then it would be foolish to believe that government would do better. If I were OBJ, I would see for only N1 with the agreement that the plant should be running after a set time. If the private world can't make it work then it should be completely abandoned. I repeat, Government has no business in steel production.

OK o. I hear you.

tctrills:
No, we should not. It should be put in private hands. Government has no business producing steel. There are many major steel companies that could make the project profitable.
Building it with government money in the first place was a mistake.
If I was in charge, I would sell the project for N1 to a reputable company with an agreement that they would turn the place around after a set period of time. I would also give them a tax break to make them competitive with imported steel.

The would need to pay workers and make profit. Nobody would invest in a business to not make profit. Tax break will not compensate their profit if they don't sell high enough..

BTW, Obj sold the steel company to an India Steel Corpration and when that flop of a President, Yar Adua, took over, he reversed the sale. His reversal breeched their agreement and Nigeria was to pay over $5 billion which was reduced recently to over $400 million.

tctrills:
There you are wrong again. There are many industries in both Nigeria and Ghana that currently make use of steel.
The construction industry is one. If Nigerian made steel is very expensive, it would diminish our construction industry and make many people jobless.
There are many industries in Nigeria that depend on cheap steel such as the fabrication industry, the auto and auto parts industry, the kitchen and home utensils industry. If the cost of your steel goes up, you would be putting many of these people out of work and reducing their profit margins. Do you get it now?

Before I continue further, lemme ask you a question.

Should Nigeria completely abandon the Ajaokuta Steel company after spending billions of dollars in it's construction, since producing steel from there would be more expensive than importation?

babzo:
Your initial example was of a mass murderer and I replied you saying there is not one mass killing in the USA where the culprit is not dead or arrested within 24 hours.

Now you bring examples of a non violent bank robber and missing people. Ok, I assume when I answer this, you will bring up scammers, rapists and burglars. Ok

There are levels of crime in America and levels of focus. There are also 4 levels of Police: Federal, State, County and City.

Again like I said in my earlier reply, there is no country without crime. America may even have more crime than Nigeria.
The difference Is that in America there are people working 24 hours a day to solve these crimes.
Their promotion and salaries is based on how many crimes they solve; not by who they know or State of origin.


The Nigerian robber was a non violent bank robber. Most likely one detective would have been assigned to the case, when they discovered that it was the same person robbing, a task force would have been set up. If he had shot anyone or killed, he wouldn't have gone free for that long.

Again kidnapping for ransom is a low IQ crime that has been eradicated in most countries.
When you kidnap someone for money, it's different from kidnapping your child in a custody dispute or to rape the victim or to kill them.

In a decent orderly country, you can no longer successfully kidnap anyone for ransom ( money). If the phone calls are not traced, the money payment will be traced. And in Nigeria, it's not just one person kidnapped, it's thousands and the kidnappers are not caught.

Nigeria can't progress if we continue to make excuses for the incompetent leaders.

Ok
