George Weah became Liberia’s President in 2018 and slashed his salary by 25%. 6 years later,

- inflation rose to 30%
- Unemployment tripped.
- Left 50% of Liberians in extreme poverty.
- recorded the lowest economic growth in 20 years
- Finally, Liberians learnt that slashing govt salaries is not important for National development and instead VOTED OUT that ideology in favor of a 78 year old experienced politician who hasn’t promised them Disneyland.

Once beaten, Twice Shy. Nigerians should learn from Liberia’s experience.

successmatters:
Peter Obi, he walk his talk, walking through bad road to see how the poor feels everyday, then he went ahead and built the road anew.

That's leadership.

Show us a picture of that same road if he sure for you.

Who did it better?

Fast forward to 2023, those of una wey criticise this idea don dey support am

KosiGee:
This is not an Obi or APGA thread. You can’t derail this.

This is about Nigeria and the direction that it’s headed.

Wike is a student of Nigeria politics and he has learnt well. Instead of shouting APGA, you should be more concerned with what’s going to happen soon. It’ll unravel in a few years. May you be alive to witness it.

The only thing happening soon is the renewed hope agenda. And it's already happening

To His Excellency, Bola Tinubu, a leader strong,
Whose path has been challenged, but emerged victorious along.
In the face of legal battles, you stood tall and true,
Until the appeal court and supreme court confirmed your due.

As the country faces challenges, doubts may arise,
But your past governance shines bright in our eyes.
For eight years, Lagos flourished under your rule,
Amongst the top governors, you were truly a jewel.

Accusations and scandals may come your way,
Yet none have found you guilty, day after day.
Your opponents seek to humiliate and shame,
But you rise above, undeterred, unashamed.

Now, as you step forward to govern once again,
With the benefits of doubt, we give you our amen.
The economy you inherited, burdened and grim,
You promised to restore, to make our nation brim.

Reducing the cost of governance, a noble quest,
And paying heed to criticisms, you'll do your best.
With good works, you can win hearts anew,
Uniting the opposition and the loyal few.

So, I wish you well, as you embark on this quest,
To make Nigeria great, to give it your best.
May your leadership shine with wisdom and might,
Guiding our nation towards a future so bright.

englishmart:
Wike overrates himself. A man who reneges on his word shouldn't be taken seriously. He spoke against Adam's Oshiomole's godfather status in Edo state; he also said he was never going to be a minister.
I stopped taking him serious since 2016.

"I will die in APGA."

In a land where politics treads its path,
A group emerged, the Obidients, with wrath.
Their voices loud, their convictions strong,
But their actions, alas, went awfully wrong.

The Labour party, once a force to reckon,
Now faced defeat, their hopes were second.
Intimidation, insults, cyberbullying at hand,
The Obidients struck with a bitter command.

With fervor and passion, they fought the fight,
But blinded by rage, they lost their sight.
Attacking dissenters, with venom they spat,
Their influencers urged them, stirring up combat.

Yet the election slipped from their grasp,
The people spoke, their choice in a gasp.
Blaming rigging, they cried in despair,
But failed to reflect, to truly be aware.

For victory is earned through humility's grace,
Not through division and a hostile embrace.
Inwardly one must look, to learn and grow,
Accepting defeat, with grace to bestow.

Oh, Obidients, heed this somber tale,
Let not your anger and bitterness prevail.
For unity and understanding pave the way,
To build a future brighter, come what may.

Learn from mistakes, let wisdom be your guide,
To heal the wounds and bridge the divide.
In the realm of politics, let respect be your creed,
And sow the seeds of unity, in word and in deed.

For true strength lies not in forceful might,
But in the ability to listen and unite.
So, Obidients, rise above the blame,
And strive to rebuild, in a different frame.

Let this defeat be a lesson profound,
To seek common ground, where harmony's found.
For in the end, it's not just victory we yearn,
But a nation united, where all voices can learn.

You nor understand sarcasm?

seunmsg:
Peter Obi had since deleted this draft from his notepad

I swear the kind of bashing Tinubu and APC would have gotten if Nigeria had lost the case would have been deafening. Atiku, Obi, Rufai and other haters of Nigeria would have been falling on each other in a struggle to see who can come up with the most asinine statement against the Tinubu government. Today, they are all quiet and pretending like nothing significant was achieved.

Nigeria shall continue to win over all her enemies.

You know them well.😂😂

“It has come to my notice that Nigeria eventually lost the case against P&ID. This is an unavoidable situation that further exacerbates our urgent need for the right leadership. And the attainment of consumption to production. As we hurt over this avoidable loss, we must look within for what we could have done better for important lessons.

Matters of state contracts have come to the fore in places like Bangladesh and India. Even Venezuela once came under the radar for its contractual procedures.
Our beloved country Nigeria is today, sadly and unavoidably, regarded as ‘the poverty capital' of the World.

This judgment will further dent our common wealth and will ultimately push the over 71 million Nigerians that live in extreme poverty further down the slope.
It is my belief that countries like Egypt and Morocco having led the way in the fight towards consumption to production will further show the way. This P&ID loss calls for sober reflection for our legislative and judiciary. Not to mention the executive. As we go, let’s go along. If you divide 650 with 18.9, it will give you 29.something billion dollars. If you remove 11.5 billion dollars from that, it will give you 650. Quick maths. Go and verify it.

It is on this note that we continue to make a commitment to Nigeria under a government that will ensure this 11.5b loss will be distributed amongst Nigerians. If we share 1m to every Nigerian at 200 million people, we will still save 11.3 billion dollars.

As we march towards the eradication of our mandate, we stand strong today in our call for us to stand strong. Though we may have lost this judgment, a new Nigeria is possible. Don’t cry. We are coming to win the loss and recover the victory.

The journey to take back our country is a long journey to take back our country. As you cry today over this loss to Mozambique, remember tomorrow’s joy is coming when we recover our recovery. Our people will P & their success will be the ID of our mass. It is possible”

Ozommadu:
Back on track soon?

That's what you used to deceive yourself 8 years ago

Kepukepu:
These ones are foolish PDP members, no one is bothered about such trivial issues aside PDP.
Anybody can be Mayor of Aba

So you nor blame Tinubu or APC this time around.😂😂

Georgejeez:
We are tired of receiving everytime o , restructure the country let every region develop at its own pace with its Natural resources , Shikina ...
Let the North develop rapidly and turn to Dubai with its Onions, sugarcane and Millet resources ..

The Niger Delta is tired of holding back the fast growth and development of the North o.

And who will restructure the country? The President?

Ozommadu:
School him on the reasons Nigeria economy is falling under your clueless first class drug baron

If he asked why, I'd have schooled him.
And the Nigeria economy is failing. It's just responding to treatment and it will be back on track soon

Taylor94:
Oga I don’t blame you



I blame south south politicians who’s only after their own pocket instead of agitating for Niger Delta republic same time as Biafra people are agitating



If this country divides trust me 95% of these rubbishes coming from North and SW will stop when no more free money coming from South South

Delta State received over N1trn in 8 years. What did they do with the money?

Ozommadu:
Your post Is to divert attention from the failed govt you support.

Nobody is falling for it again

If you look at the beginning you'll realise that it was the Obidient that brought the topic. What we were talking about was completely different from certificate forgery.
So I took my time to school him.

Ozommadu:
Your post Is to divert attention from the failed govt you support.

Nobody is falling for it again

Go to court.

tafabaloo:
What a lame comparison !
In as much as I believed that the certificate may not be a forged one, your explanation does not support logic, please.

What you believe is inconsequential Oga. You can choose to believe whatever you want. It won't change anything.

Ozommadu:
1. Explain why subsidy is back and yet fuel is still sold at #620??

2. Explain why you were shared 1 modu of rice and cup of red oil as palliative while your law makers are sharing SUVs worth 130million each.

3. Explain why you're defending a failed government

My post has nothing to do with anything you posted. Stay on track.

ojobek:
Nonsense,you go explain tire.

LOL. Go and unseat Tinubu

YourMrBoo:
You go explain explain tire...

Ok

How was it?

Burob:
Confused Empty Barrel, will the purported 700 thousand pages of FBI report remove Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, hell will freeze before that happens, stop chasing shadows based on your disillusioned self hate.

Worse than the Obidients are people who do not understand sarcasm.

Penguin2:
You can continue to comfort yourself with delusion.

You need to know that Obidients are too many that even if about 1million of us decide to donate just 1k each, that would be 1billion Naira.

Now, tell me which Obidient you think would see 1k as being fleeced.

You must think Obidients are ragtags like the CORN people.

I know you lots are pained that he’s finally able to do what even Gani Fawehinmi could not do by exposing the fraud that your lord and saviour is.

But guess what, we will send him all the funds he needs to continue until Tinubu’s downfall is fully achieved.

Make I go donate my own 1k sef.

Rubbish!

I fit swear say na David be this. E dey try motivate e headless mob..😂

They told you that Oyegun was made the chairman of APC presidential screening committee to disqualify Tinubu, you clapped for the liars but insulted us for telling you the truth even after no one was disqualified.

They told you that since it's only adhoc delegates that'll vote, Tinubu won't win, you called Paso to celebrate the lie but hated us for telling you that he'll get at least 1,200 of the delegate votes and even after he got 1,271, you still refused to listen to the voice of objectivity and political accuracy.

They told you that there won't be a primary, that 36 governors will seat with the President and choose a successor for him and it will never be Tinubu and you drank ogogoro to celebrate that fallacy. We told you that primary will hold and that the 36 governors will not seat with the President over that issue because all of them didn't belong to same political party but you chose to follow falsehood just to give yourself false and temporary happiness and hopeless hope.

They said that there won't be election because of the state of the nation and that an interim government will be put in place but when we asked on what basis, you said that we should mechonu.

After the election, they told you that Tinubu will not be announced winner despite getting the highest number of votes and having gotten 25% in two/third of the federating states because he didn't win 25% of votes in the FCT but when we told you that the electoral act didn't say so, you said that we don't know anything.

INEC announced him as the winner, they told you to gather at military headquarters to ask that they take over but the same military said that any eediot that planned to disrupt the handing over will be dealt with.

They said that Onyejekwe has perfected his arrest on May 29 and you believed that too.

On May 29, he was sworn in by the Chief of Justice of the Federation and the only thing Onyejekwe could do was not do attend the historic ceremony.

Then, you shouted all eyes on the judiciary and started attacking the judges and your principals' lawyers rather than lock themselves up in their law rooms to study and prepare for the case at the tribunal went on air seeking media validation and social media attention while Tinubu warned his lawyers not to pay attention to the media but to the work at hand and in the end, your principals' lawyers failed to produce any evidence before the court and therefore, their incongruous, incompetent and nebulous case was struck out.

Then, the Alhaji said that Tinubu didn't attend and graduate from CSU. He went to court in US to compel the university to release Tinubu's transcript and when like Obama and Trump, Tinubu said that his transcript is his personal documents, they told you that it's because he didn't attend the school until it was finally presented at the court by the university and it was confirmed that he did attend and graduate from Chicago State University.

It is just right for you to be sincere to yourself and see that you lack wisdom and it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

A bat fell to the ground and was caught by a house-ferret. Realizing that she was on the point of being consumed, she begged for her life. The house-ferret said to her that she couldn't let her go, for ferrets were supposed to be Natural enemies to all birds. The bat replied that she herself was not a bird, but a mouse. She managed to extricate herself from danger by this means.

Eventually, falling a second time, the bat was caught by another house-ferret. Again she pleaded to the ferret not to eat her. This ferret destested mice and would certainly a meal of the bat. But the bat positively affirmed that she was not a mouse but a bird. And so she was released again.

And that was how she saved herself from death twice by a mere change of name.

Do not necessarily confine yourself to the same tactics, adapt to circumstances for better escape from danger.

seanfer:
I won’t support or advise Tinubu to treat any part of the country with hatred. He’s the President and the office is for the service of all Nigerians.

Atiku, Obi and the Ob!d!ots people disgraced Nigeria. They should be dealt with

whatisthetruth:
Are you having a stroke?

Every movement is permitted to have a few stupid individuals with low IQ within their ranks. APC has, PDP has, But Obidients are different. Every single person from Obi to the smallest person in that movement is daft, stupid and 6 feet dumb. They are a crime against humanity!
