Subsidywise20:
You are sounding like PO here...yes and no. Subsidy has to go, whether cost of transport or power cost. If I was government and you were a business selling books at N1000 per book, and I told you to sell at N30 instead to help the poor, how would you make a profit that would enable you to pay for restocking, transport costs, etc?



And if subsidy goes, all the fradulence would end. Since there is no more free government money...people will bring in fuel and sell and make a profit without having to lie that they are bringing in 10 million when it is really 2 million.

I mean, no subsidy, so no one can make subsidy claims, and people will just simply bring in and sell what they really bring in. And since they are making a profit, no need to lie or to smuggle fuel out of the country.

.



My problem with PO and Buhari and company on this subsidy issue is their lack of decisiveness. Subsidy has to go. No buts. It is fuelling the corruption in the system, it is causing inflation of fuel import figures, so that people can make fradulent claims, and it is losing us billions via smuggling to the whole west africa .

Subsidy has to go, and go now. No buts.

I would have offered you cold gulder for this truthful post but I don't know if you're a Muslim.

Truly subsidy has to go. No buts. No ifs. E gats go.

Indecision is worse than no decision.

Nigeria is rich bro , to have 1 million police men and maintain them , curruption won't let us see road

Nigeria is not rich. And please don't compare it to countries like UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. If you sum all their population together it won't still reach Lagos. That's why they are rich cos they have less people to enjoy such plenty crude oil. Nigeria has similar amount of crude oil but with over 200 million people.

If you put the right thing in place, from consumption to Production, there will be funding

And you think all those changes will come to fruition in a year or two?

Most people supporting PO, do not know that if he actually do what he says he'll do, there will be better hunger (even worse than Buhari's hunger) in the land for at least 2 years before the positive side of his policies will start showing. But his supporter don't know this. They think he'll solve all the problem in one year. They think he will just replicate what he saw in Egypt in 1 year, and things will just get better.
And this kind of too much hope will cause them utter disappointment when they don't see what they want in a short time.

They don't know that insecurity will remain the same or rise for quite sometime before anything meaningful will be done. Even if he changes security chiefs every month, how many would he change. He won't be able to do anything meaningful in 3 months securitywise. In those 3 months, can he stand the heat? When on his first day in office, he hear they bomb one village in Borno and tomorrow they've bombed a city in Kaduna and next tomorrow they've kidnapped school children in Sokoto, can he stand the heat. Or would he resort to blaming the previous government?

The fact he's making all the problem in the country easy to solve will be his greatest nemesis if he gets there.

Do you actually think Fashola didn't think truly with his heart that electricity was a problem that could be solved within 6 months? And here we are after 7 years we're still in darkness.
Buhari could swear with his life that fuel subsidy was a scam when he wasn't President, but when he got there his eyes clear.
Even the most illiterate tout in the motor park knows the problem of this country and solution but take him to power and he'll flop. Everyone thinks the world works the way it works in their head.

The fact that we all think one politician alone is going there to work while the others are going there to worsen the problem should stop.
You never can tell if Nigeria will get better under PO and get worse under Tinubu or Atiku, or Nigeria will get better under Tinubu but worse under PO or Atiku, or get better under Atiku but get worse under Tinubu or PO.
We don't know and we'll never know for sure because it is only one that will be President.

Adexchelsea19:
He has always been like that… lol

Interviewer: why didn’t you hold local government election
Obi: we put money into good use, we use it to pay pensions

Se this one get sense abeg?

I just tire for the guy.

Even Tinubu that had his LG allocation seized by OBJ, did all these and never owed a dime. Doctors were never on strike for a second and LASU didn't go on strike.
From these alone, he's far better than PO.

Salihuabre:
Kai it not business as usual.
you didn't hear yes I f ....
and
No .... IF?

this one is not a usual toy fa .haba how many years with 30,000 naira peanut money do you agents .

May the good works of buhari and all PDP good doing be upon you and like-minded . Amen

If he's not ready to take the bull by the horn then he's not ready

Subsidywise20:
So, do you support fuel subsdiy removal ? Yes or no.

(My answer is, yes, and immediately)

My answer is a resounding yes. And that would have been PO's answer. Which one come be yes and no?
That's a sign of indecisiveness.

And most times, indecision is worse than no decision.

Subsidywise20:
But of course, most of my posts support subsidy removal and increase of prices because it makes sense economically speaking.

I have always talk about total removal of fuel subsidy. The only politician I will support is the one that say it with his full chest that he will remove fuel subsidy. Which one is yes and no? Yes how, no how?

If anybody like, let him cut off unnecessary spending, if he doesn't totally remove fuel subsidy, he's wasting his time.

Peter Obi should say it with his full chest that he will remove subsidy and he'll get my support.

Subsidywise20:
Okay, on the other hand, thanks to the rise in crude oil prices, cost of subsidy has risen from 1 trillion per annum 4 years ago to 5 trillion now.

Money that should have been spent on educaiton and health, as Obi said in his interview.....

Instead we are dashing a few corrupt individuals money in return for cheap fuel that isn't cheap.

Let me never hear you speak against increase of fuel price sha

Penguin2:
Taaaaaah

Kwankwaso was captured on camera saying Northerners will not vote for an Igbo man which is what some Tinubu urchins have latched on to give themselves some hope.

But what is there is that right now, Kwankwaso can go to hell with his arrogance.

In 2003, Northwest and Northeast voted for Buhari butt Obasanjo still won.

In 2011, Northwest and Northeast voted Buhari again but Jonathan still won.

Peter Obi can still win without votes from Northwest and Northeast.

Besides if things remain as they are right now, Atiku will win Some part of Northeast with Tinubu winning the rest. While Obi is likely to win Christian votes from that region.

Kwankwaso will win Kano. Some people have also said he will win Jigawa.

Tinubu is likely to take other Northwest states while Obi will win Christian votes in that region again.

That leaves us with North Central where Obi will win Benue, Plateau and Abuja; he will do well in Nasarawa too, which should ultimately culminate to him winning North Central.

Obi will also win Southeast and Southsouth scandalously.

Then garner considerable votes in Southwest especially if Tinubu finally floats a Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Do the math and you Peter Obi’s victory without Kwankwaso.

The world does not work the way it works in your head.

Death does not follow age. It doesn't matter if you're 61, 70, 75 or 80 or even a new born baby. Death might start from the youngest and even the most healthiest.

Never wish death to anyone

The average Nigeria would not complain if this was done in an American or UK school..

Labour party will win

Zikojukwu:
Everything is white and clear, only Tinubu is dark like the devil. The future of Nigeria will be this dark if they vote Tinubu. Share current and clear pictures of Tinubu and stop deceiving yourself.

Lagos and Anambra, which is darker?

Tinubu, the man who turned the seas to land and turned the lands to free trade zones.

On his mandate till infinity.

Dreal1247:
*A TALE OF TWO FORMER GOVERNORS*

Two men were governors one in Lagos the other in Anambra . Towards the end of their second term, the one in Lagos sent his retirement bill and got his house of assembly to approve what you see below as his yearly pension.

1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC.
2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office.
3. Six new cars every 3 years
4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom
5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom.
6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life.
7. Entitled to cooks, stewards, Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable.
8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance
9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance
10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him.
11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants.
12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance .
13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance.
14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number.

This is apart from what he gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury.

*But See what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor*:

1. No gratuity
2. No pensions
3. No houses
4. No cars
5. No allowances of any kind
6. No maintenances of any kind.
7. No personal assistants paid by the state.
8. No domestic staffs paid by the state.
9. No aids sponsored by the state.
10. Not even pure water.
11. No shishi from the State.

Now the two men want to be president.

*So you choose today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly*.

Am just exposing your mind to see the truth. It is now your decision to make and convince others.
Use your reasoning. Vote and support wisely…. This is the man who wants to become your president.. The man Tinubu thinks We are second-class citizens ...

- Otunba Arobieke.

If Lionel Messi when he retires from any of his club (whether Barca or PSG) and he demands for a similar severance package as the former, I will support him whole heartedly. After all, he has paid his dues.

But if Harry Maguire, on his retirement demands nothing from his club like the latter, it would not be surprising. After all, he contributed nada to Manchester united..

Know the difference.

Lanretoye:
Na their real age them dey hide,at a point they might have declared a falsified age.those results will reveal the controversy around their age but higher certificates don't have age on them.it is only stupid for someone to think they don't have those credentials.

God have mercy. So Okowa is now an 80 years old man that is hiding his age too?

Nazgul:
No Southerner needs the NW and NE to win an election provided they're United. Buhari had the undisputed support of the NE and NW in 2011 how did that turn out. He had to align with the SW before he could win in 2015. But Jonathan won in 2011 without northern support.

For a Southerner to win an election in Nigeria he needs the votes of all 3 southern zones, SS, SE and SW, then win at least 3 NC States and Abuja. This will ensure his victory.

The north sees themselves as election deciders because they know that Southerners aren't United, so they play on our intelligence by making foolish Southern leaders crawl and beg them for endorsement even if it means selling out their own people.

Did you read what I wrote? I said Tinubu needs to get 70% SW vote and 40% Northern votes.

I didn't say anybody need only the Northern votes to win

Samunique:
[/b]

The bold is what Tinubu is failing to understand for his proposed Muslim Muslim ticket, he's being deceived that only core north Muslims can win presidential election for people in Nigeria.

He's being led to political slaughter, I pray he realizes this early bcs I don't want power to return to the north come 2023.

Tinubu have the belief that he need to win 40% of the North and 70% of the SW tp win the election. The belief is not out of reality.

Imortal001:
Na you help me vote atiku abi?

Peter Obi supported Atiku and voted for him.

Imortal001:
Who buy the conscience of those people supporting tinubu or atiku?
If you partake in #ENDSARS and still supporting tinubu, you need to go check your brain.
ThankGod that most of the youth have decide to be obidient.

The same people that bought your conscience when you voted Atiku in 2019.

Tonylyte:
Is he still breathing? The prayers of the people are already working against him. He wont pay salaries, he wont carry out projects.

Haven't you heard? Infrastructures doesn't drive an economy.

Comparing a country where a nobody slapped a sitting President in public and got just a slap on the wrist with Nigeria.

Even soon, he will say since someone got away with slapping Macron then anybody can get away with slapping Buhari

Edopesin:
The other video of his I shared clearly states where he stands, that physical infrastructure shouldn't come first in the context of Nigeria.

I agree with him on that note but infrastructure also drives an economy and that's one thing I appreciate buhari for

One would wonder why Anambra didn't fair better than Lagos since he favoured physical infrastructures second.

Tonitoniton:
No need to argue. U can use him to court

Same way you shouldn't argue that Tinubu doesn't have a certificate. Sue him to court. It's your right.

Caleb17:
Tinubu will face a though battle with Obi in Lagos. So many lagosians will vote Peter Obi.

OK o.

opiaoku:

but the boy is cute oo

this boy should be rescued by all means for the sake of humanity not because of some cone head bastards

This boy will shoot at anybody coming to rescue him without thinking. Sadly maximum force should be used.
After all some Boko Haram remembers were recruited when they were kids. Weren't we complaining when FG was granting BH members amnesty?

This reminds me of Avengers Infinity War, when the Hulk was punching Thanos left and right and Cull Obsidian wanted to interfere but Ebony Maw stopped him and said, "let him have his fun."
Few seconds later, the Hulk was unconscious and beaten.

With this, I say to all Tinubu's supporters. Let the ObiDients have their fun.

Enyimbafc:
We are talking of presidential election all over Nigeria and this one is talking about Ekiti election in south west,apc stronghold.

Since you feel the system is foolproof just don't complain when Tinubu wins o.

Caleb17:
He will lose because the ELITES who will vote for Peter Obi will easily notice any sharp practices. And will insist on that the right thing should be done and if they continue their wururu, it may spark #EndApcPdp protest which may draw the attention of world powers to pressure Tinubu to accept defeat. My own poll boot will be a no go area for Sharp practices. We will return 95% votes Peter Obi. The way am seeing things, any person that votes for Tinubu in my area might go home looking like a Chinese. Area dey hot now. People are angry with this government.

And shey as in your area that they won't allow people to vote for this choice, you won't compain if Oluomo and his boys beat or chase people who won't vote for Tinubu?

Edopesin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9HUruemlAI?t=60

From this point he is insinuating that infrastructure is the way to legitimately distribute wealth, that is his main point here

But Peter Obi said this about the physical infrastructure, he never downplayed it's importance but instead placed human development higher


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFOwww0kanA


P.S- I'd be grateful for the video of Peter Obi saying infrastructure doesn't drive an economy

BlackBaron:
Asking for a friend.

How did Tinubu afford a private jet on the 'meagre' salary of a former state governor.

This is a case of the devil advising others.
I'm disgusted right now.

Tinubu was already earning millions of dollars when he was working as an accountant in Deloitte and ExxonMobil

Falconx47:
If someone who earns 100k takes out a credit of 5m to buy a car or whatever, and let's say they service that debt with half of their monthly pay, that's 50k, it'll take them more than 8 solid years to pay off the debt, that's without taking interests into account.

These people come up with with garnished trash talk because they know the people they're talking to won't fact check them, with which job security would any lender give you a loan that would take 10 years to repay, so that you may buy a tokumbo car? In a country where people can't even pay back micro loans they take from multiple loan sharks.

In that 8 solid years, the person that took the loan won't be paying house rent. And if the house have different flats he will be collecting rents from his tenant.

You are even talking of ordinary 8 years. In America you like comparing Nigeria to, they pay their mortgage for even as long as 30 years.
