Okowa and Atiku and good combo of looting warlords. If you know Delta IGR and 13%
derivation, you will weep for Delta.
Addedd to agbado crooner, then we are finished.

Obidient is better than sacrifice

Doctors were on strike for 13 months in Anambra. Imagine the thousands of people that would have died in those 13 hellish months).Imagine the poor women that would have to give birth in traditional houses. Imagine the babies that would have died cos of ordinary malaria yet Peter Obi and his children were receiving treatments in other states and Abroad.
If those people and babies that died hear you want to vote for Peter Obi next year, they'd wake up and give you a knock like Old Roger.

Students were at home for 6 months in Anambra. I wonder what I'll call such people if they are among the Obidients we have now. It means there's no hope for us.
Una dey tire to suffer?

phorget:
The igbos melted worse treatment to Ekweremadu in Germany so if Awolowo received such treatment as you claimed then that means igbos would correct any anomalies irrespective of whosoever is involved.
The fulanis has been in charge of this country with nothing tangible to show for it and they even believe the country to be their birthright so politically they are our enemy.
Prior to 2015 election worst thing was been done to Jonathan by yorubas and hausas so I guess Jonathan and Bayelsans should have a good reason to hate the yorubas and hausas for life since stoning Awolowo is your yardstick for measuring hatred.

You dare mention Akunyili, did igbos killed Funso Williams right there in Lagos? Was Kudirat Abiola got murdered in igboland? Did Oladipupo Diya got imprisoned by an igboman?

Actually only few Fulanis have ruled Nigeria. Unless you mean the whole North is the problem.

In 2011, the Yorubas were one of the top people that supported Jonathan election.. Even more than the Igbos.
Prior to 2015 elections they felt they were being sidelined by GEJ's government since no Yorubas was at the top 6 position of his Government. Then plus of the Boko Haram insurgency, they decided to support someone else they think would do better over Jonathan. Is anything wrong there?

Sweetplum:
Let's assume my talk is cheap. What is your own suggestion to end senates and reps menace?

Good. Now we can talk without emotions.

As I'll say again. Leave the senate alone and do what you think will benefit majority of Nigerians.
As bogus as what the senate take home at the end of every month is, it is a still a very small percentage of Nigeria's total budget. Just turn a blind eye on them.

*Increase the IGR you promised Nigerians to increase.
*Build the railway you promised Nigerians you'll build
*Execute what you went to Egypt to learn on their power sector and increase Nigeria power generation from 5000 to 20000 MW in 4 years (assuming it's possible).
*Pay the N1.3 billion ASUU demand you promised to pay.
*Increase the less than 1 million barrel per day oil production to the OPEC 1.8 million barrel quota you claim is the reason FG can't pay ASUU.
(But be careful here.. Don't goan do over sabi and say you're the commander in chief of the armed forces and say you want to fight the militants else they will show you shege like how they showed Buhari shege when he wanted to end Niger Delta $100,000,000 yealy amnesty budget. No matter what, don't start a war in the Niger Delta cos the militants would cripple the economy faster than the senate).
* End the security aid Nigeria give to Niger and other small African countries since you feel stopping the money would change anything.
*etc.

Sweetplum:
Is Buhari the only one that can fight in Nigeria?
As far as am concerned, he's overrated and that's why he failed.
As for the senate and reps. I ll clip their wings. I ll raise proxy people who ll reveal all their shady deals and turn Nigeria against them and exonerate myself from political largesse. Buhari would v made more sense when he said he ll reduce his earnings and he did it to the extent that he's publicly showing how he donates his earnings monthly or quarterly in the media. All those stupid aids and payment of ghost workers in aso rock. There was a time they said N1b was used to buy drugs in aso rock clinic. Who are the users? And Buhari ll still travel to overseas for checkups more than 10 times. Is his life as soft as a tissue paper?
Bros, I m ready to serve Nigeria and spoil things for the cabals

Lol. See as e easy to talk.

How many years do you think must have passed before you completely clip the senate wings?
What they need to do is make it impossible for you to pay salaries and pay bandits to increase insecurities in Nigeria and Nigerians would beg them to impeach you.

The same way you're imagining as a President you can clip the senate wings, imagine yourself as the senate trying to clip Buhari wings..
See which is easier and which will cause more damage and more outcry.

Kayyy:
Everybody is claiming and forming knowledgeable on subsidy matter, without Dangote refinery finishing do people understand the resulting effects of subsidy ?, Has even Peter Obi they talked about told them the honest repercussions of removing it ?, The immediate effect ?, Buhari did the same during campaign and his hands got burnt when he got there and people are allowing politicians use the same template for them? There has never been any decrease in kerosine and diesel since FG stopped accounting for its subsidy and yet some people are projecting to you that prices would go up and come down with petrol ? Without Dangote Refinery starting to work any politician telling you stories would either cause severe hardship by removing subsidy or would probably borrow billions to cushion the economic effects of the removal after he does so, and don't get started on inflation cause for sure that will rise too especially with fuel increase. All your candidates ( Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi ) know they all depend on Dangote refinery to start to ease Forex issues, Naira falling and others to an extent but they can't tell you the truth.

True. All of them know this fact but the opposition would use it to campaign against the one in power.
Just like how APC used Atikus words that he would privatize NNPC to campaign against him in 2019 but yet the same APC FG privatized NNPC this year.

All these politicians know that they'd never be able to pay ASUU their N1.3 trillion if they get there (unless fuel subsidy ends, Oil price increases, or they'd have to increase tuition fees) but they'd use it to campaign against FG.
The opposition would use increase in fuel price, fertilizers, increase in taxes and VATs and excise duties to portray how the party in power has made everything hard on Nigerians but deep down they know that even them will do the same thing to keep the economy running.

They'd use how much loans were are owing to China to campaign against APC, but deep down they know that the loans were necessary.. That if you really want to do any project or infrastructures with this oil lower oil price you'd have to take loans.

They'd use the fact that power is now more expensive to campaign against the ruling party but deep down they know that light subsidy had to be removed else nothing will change in our power sector.

It's actually annoying when I realize that the politicians are taking us for fools just to get into power.

Sweetplum:
Then let Nigeria be like that. Senate n reps earning is ridiculous. Very lazy niggas

Leave the senate alone and do what you can do in 8 years and comot.
Fighting the senate will be the beginning of your woes as a president.
Imagine there's a project you wanna do and you need a loan and the senates doesn't approve the loan because you're fighting them? Even Buhari that most of the senates were APC, was frustrated when he tried to stop Budget padding.

The President is the most powerful man in Nigeria but it is until you get there that you'd know how weak the president can be because of his powers.

Yesterday, I was having a discussion with my friends, he was telling me how the 1999 constituting is the problem of Nigeria. How every States should be controlling her resources. How Borno State shouldn't be collecting oil money. That if he was President, he will stop it.
I told him if he was a Senator from Borno State and he knows what Borno state would be like if oil allocation stops and someone from the South passes a bill that it should stop would he allow the bill or frustrate it? Although he said he would, but deep down me and him know that he was deceiving himself.. Same thing with Senators from Sokoto, Taraba, Katsina, Benue, Niger etc. None of them will allow that bill because it would hurt their people.

Now what if you're a President with absolute power. You don't need the senate approval to do what you want. Let's also assume you're from Bayelsa. Would you stop sharing of oil money to the North when you know the Northerners will suffer? Remember you're from the South but you're a President of both the North and South. It is then you'd know that the solution is always easy when you're not in power.

Let's even assume, you're a great thinker.. You say, you'd put policies in place that would make the North self sufficient. That they'd be able to stop depending on oil money allocation.. Would the policies be able to show fruits till after 8 years before you leave power.?
And also those policies would take a lot of money and investment and time... Won't your southern brothers say you're now loyal to the North because you're spending too much on them? Just like when Jonathan was building Alamjiri schools and southerners were insulting him for building schools in the north which he didn't do in the south..

The moral lesson of this long epistle is that, if Buhari cannot fight the senate, nobody else can. That's the sad truth.

Nice and innovative.
But 90% of the things you said there requires money.. Lots and lots of money.

The first and foremost thing should be how to increase the revenue of Nigeria. Nigeria is not rich.
When you get there you'd realize this.

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, Nigeria complexity require that the president must be on the field of play. Have you seen the best player been benched and not fielded in a complex competition.
The problems of Nigeria state is beyond a robot president, it require a mobile and cerebral president that will be up and doing, even though if it is for 4 years to stabilize the system. OBJ was to do much because he was in constant monitoring end engaging the citizenry.
The resources are there but leadership capacity to harness and tap the resources is the failure and if we miss it less year, Nigerians will pay for it because average Nigerian doesn't like doing the right thing, if we can get the right leader that will drive the system and make people do the right thing to get the right thing done, then things will definitely work out.

Sweetplum:
You are right. Anything to cut the wings of senators n reps is allowed. It's obvious they are the real problems

That is not possible if you're working under democracy. Fight the senate and they'll show you that the senate is much more powerful than the Presidency.
Unless you want to work with the judiciary. But then you'd have to give the judges a mouth watering offer to make them work for you and against the senate.

Any solution that does not involve school fees increment is a waste of time. It is dead on arrival.
That is the hard reality on ground. The bitter truth.

babyfaceafrica:
By force? Are we on military regime? The only way to reduce salaries is via the Red and green House!
Getting that done is easier than killing a lion with toothpick.

The legislators and sinators are the problem!

Many of them thinks the world works the way it works in their head.

WibusJaga:
Just enact these laws (just like for NYSC service):
1. If your kids are not in our public universities, you can't hold a public office.
2. If you did not graduate from our public universities, you can not hold a public office.

You would spend your 8 years trying to do these things. Buhari tried to end budget padding senate nor gree approve budget. That's even when APC senators were in majority o.
Imagine trying to enact those laws when the senate is against it.

Some of you guys don't even know some of thiese solution you guys are offering are only possible when you're a military dictator with absolute power and not a democratic elected president with senate and HOR

Sweetplum:
I ll give them the money. Reduce every political office holders allowances by force and give ASUU.

You would reduce senators and HORs salaries too?
When senate nor gree approve budget you go understand say Nigeria does not work the way it works in your head.

phorget:
And were you able to profile them to be igbos? What year was that if I may ask? And you mean that singular act automatically made igbos become yoruba enemy? Your sense of reasoning should be examined bros.
We are thinking on how best to move a country forward but people like you would prefer an enemy just to spite igbos...nah wa o.

The stoning happened in Igbo land did it?

And see your double standard.
What act did the Fulanis do that made them the enemy?
Was James Onanefe a Fulani that stole billions from Delta State and was sentenced to prison terms in UK?
Was Powei a Fulani enemy that stole billions and pretend to faint on national TV when he was queried?
Was the it the Fulani that killed Chike Akunyili (husband of Dora Akuniyili)?
Was it the Fulani enemies that killed those soldier couple in the SE?

Speaking of Fulani enemies, was Atiku not a Fulani when Peter Obi contested as his vice in 2019?

What would have happened if Atiku had won?
Do you realise he'd be President with Peter Obi as his vice?

You nor even know where dey pain you.

Even if Tinubu does this his medicals in a hospital owned by Nnamdi Kanu or Peter and he comes out healthy, Zombidients will say Tinubu bribed Peter Obi and his results were faked

dedonfranco:
Peter Obi said Oil Subsidy is Organised crime in our Country.....Promise to tackle it if elected.

Just vote for Peter Obi.

Nor run pass your shadow. Buhari will remove fuel subsidy when Dangote's refinery starts.

FromZeroToHero:
This is the reason why I can't take anywhere belle face politicians serious.

FFK is a total disgrace.

Do you want the video of the politician who said the day he leaves APGA is the day he dies?

All politicians are the same.

phorget:
Igbos don't hate yorubas, fulanis should rather be the common enemy but yorubas would rather embrace their enemy and they will see igbos as the new enemy.

The Fulani enemy didn't stone Awolowo when he campaigned in the North. The friendly Igbos did.

Maxymilliano:
“It’s like Brazil today, they recognise that sometimes, Pele was a star, a fantastic footballer but they are not going to field him in today’s match" :

Pele does not need to enter the field of play. He will coach the younger players, search for talented players that will do the work on the field.

That's what Tinubu will do. He will sign in brilliant ministers and technocrats. He doesn't need to be on the field of play.

MadamVanessa:



Reno is very unstable human and such human shouldn't be taken serious. This Atiku he's singing his praises today, certainly tomorrow he will drag Atiku and start praising Tinubu.

The Idiotic usêlèss nonêntity twitter warrior is nothing but empty lousy animal.

Reno is your average Nigerian politician. Even Peter Obi campaigned for Atiku. They are all the same.

DaveDGreat:


I said VOTE WISELY and you don dey fidget already? That means you know that your decision isn't a wise one.

Meanwhile, what do you have to say Sir about Tinubu and Gboyega Oyetola's appearance on the Pandora papers report?

I have nothing to say. The 3 top candidates have corruption case on their head. No one is less corrupt than the other.

That being the case, since no of them are saints, I will vote the candidate with the best track record of economy development. The candidate that that has been able to increase the revenue of his state. The candidate who as a governor, his state university never went on strike. A candidate that doctor weren't on strike. A candidate whose state is the most developed in the country. Whose state worker was paid minimum wage.
That is the candidate I will wisely vote.

DaveDGreat:
The problem with most of you is that you don't read at all.

Tinubu and his cousin Gboyega Oyetola were fingered in the Pandora papers report but your bigotry allowed you to single just one person out. The person didn't even commit any crime.

All I can say is VOTE WISELY

I will vote wisely and not with emotions. I will vote for Tinubu.

Xbobtage:
This has to be the handwork of Political Opponents who are afraid of the power of Nigerians coming together for good.

Very soon you guys will say Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB movement was (and is still being) sponsored by political opponents.

Why exactly does the Igbos hate accepting responsibilities for their actions? Why?

Bonavi:
Thats why u are supporting a candidate but knows nothing of his achievements. Did Tinubu build 3rd mainland bridge, very miopic. Why not ask the people paying u to constitute this nuisance who built 3rd mainland bridge. Which and which are the 5 General hospitals he built. I wonder whether u have even stepped foot in lagos or just somewhere in the remotest part of ekiti listing what u see on social media. You even laughably stated he built seaports? Its really a common knowledge that almost all Tinubu supporters are poorly educated with scavenging mentalities

See as you're showcasing your stupidity. The guy just just quoted is a Peter Obi supporter. He asked a sarcastic question to a Tinubu supporter and you're insulting him.

Obidients are really unstable.

donaldking100:
if you are a human being, a Nigerian either youth or adult and you are campaigning for either Tinubu or Atiku with your phone, data, time and energy wheather off-line or on any social media platforms for president without receiving an alert of at Least #100,000 Naira every month from those two slave master's, it means you are The most senseless ,fooolish, Useless, disgusting and mentally demented soul on this Earth,
Vote wisely,
Vote OBI/DATTI.

Obi was literally the vice presidential candidate of PDP in 2019?
What would have happened if PDP won?

Cantonese:
Oandora papers? Oh that’s Obi’s name.

Now which of them was charged to court by the ICPC? Which of them has his name permanently in the books of EFCC? Which of them is extremely wealthy, yet no industry is attached to his name?

Yekini Amoda Ogunlere.

Cantonese:
Can you define “positive change” for us please? Also tell us who your preferred candidate is and if your preferred candidate has not been charged before the ICPC. Tell us if your preferred candidate’s name is not on the desk of the EFCC.

Tell us between your preferred candidate and Peter Obi, who has pending cases bordering on fraud and looting of public treasury before the EFCC.

Tell us which of them was fingered in the Pandora papers.

immortalcrown:
You have further proven you are the liar. Even the Wikipedia report you yourself posted does not say Ojukwu and his people were the ones that killed Boro.

Where did you see me say Ojukwu or Ironsi killed Boro?
What I said is that he was sentenced to death for treason.

Before his death was carried out, the counter coup happened and he was freed by Gowon.


The main koko of the matter is that the Igbos were the first tribe in Nigeria to stop another tribe from seceding.

immortalcrown:
Liar, Boro was not killed by a Biafran. All the reports about his death accuse Benjamin Adekunle. Below are sources for verification.
http://www.gamji.com/article4000/NEWS4657.htm
https://www.thehistoryville.com/isaac-adaka-boro/

Biafrans never fought Boro until when Boro joined Nigeria to fight Biafra. Liar, you are the first to claim the Biafra war started between Biafra and Boro. You are a shameless lair that can turn history upside-down.

Your head really nor correct.
A simple Google search about Adaka Boro would have saved you from showcasing your ignorance. Now the whole Nairaland know you're a illiterate.

Below is a cure to your ignorance. Please use it.

immortalcrown:
You are the greatest liar I have seen on Nairaland. Boro helped Nigeria against Biafra independence, thinking Nigerai will favour him. Boro later realized Nigeria would not favour him and his own Ogoni people. He then wanted to separate from Nigeria and Nigeria killed him. You are the greatest liar I have seen on Nairaland.

I'm a liar abi? Which part of what I said was a lie?
1. That Adaka Boro declared Nigger Delta independence. Or...
2. Ironsi and Ojukwu couldn't take it and they waged a 13 days war against him. Or
3. That he was striped naked and sentenced to death for treason.?

Tell me where I lied.

descarado:
Has atiku ever helped anybody in Nigeria?
How many school has he built in the North or supplied educational materials nd equipments?

The same question goes to tinubu.
I will love to know how many people they have assisted without expecting payback.

They are billionnaires, let their humanitarian gesture( not politically induced) speak for them.

These people should go and learn the act of giving.

How many people Tinubu helped without expecting a payback?

Maybe he was expecting Kanu Nwakwo to give him his heart when he donated to his heart foundation.

immortalcrown:
You are wrong. Biafra simply declared independence and those who cannot take it resorted to violence to reverse the independence. The first shot was fired outside Igbo land by a Yoruba that fought for Igbo. Ask yourself what the Yoruba saw that made him fire the shot. The man's name is Victor Banjo.

Adako Boro declared independence and Ojukwu and Ironsi couldn't take it and waged a 13 days war on Niger Delta. They captured Boro, striped him naked and sentenced him to death for treason.
