To make Nigeria like he left Anambra a pig sty ?

God forbid. Nigerians wouldn't allow your pipe dream

We have seen the best of APC, let's tryLabour Party. From every angle, Obi is still the best! Tinubu sold Buhari to us and we bought it. I don't know how you can separate a bad product from the seller, both of them are bad, apart from the fact that the seller is currently retarded and weak.

Rolings:
Ungrateful lots
Unpatriotic folks
They just game the Nigerian government.
They got cheap medical education and will rather use it for another country.....why didnt they go to study the medidcine in europe or america....they wont because they cant afford it.
The didnt complain about ill equiped medical schools and teaching hospitals while training only to jump on the next plane to countries where they couldnt afford to study Medicine.....
Before anyone says rubbish....... doctors that want to practice in USA should go there for their studies if they can afford it not take advantage of the subsidized medical education in Nigeria and thereafter run away......Government subsidized it so many people can be trained to be useful to the country.

I got your point and to an extent you made a point. However, you must realize that Nigerian government has failed woefully. I have a couple friends as medical doctors who were top of their various classes in University who never wanted to leave Nigeria, but years of misrule and poor governance had made them to change their minds.
Buhari really took the country to years of retrogression. It's unfortunate.
You cannot blame anybody for seeking a safe and secured environment not necessarily higher pay but a decent environment.
I don't know how the problems on ground would be fixed, honestly I don't know because of too much complexities. Corruption is Nigeria and Nigeria is corruption. To kill one is to kill the other. That's why I keep wondering why people are shouting Tinubu because this man has no strength to confront the challenges on ground and he's surrounded by people that has profited from our endemic corruption and dead institutions.
The best belt for anyone is to run away, or looking for means to run away.

srclark:
not like i supporting any of the running mates ,but from another angle lets look at this as up right thinkers .Peter Obi keeps saying go and verify and he said he left or returned money when he was a serving governor .You were given money to work yet you returned some of the money as if you by have done all that needs to be done in Anambra ,he returned money he knows obviously will be embezzled by other corrupt politicians when he had all it could take as a governor to use it for his state .For me i would even prefer someone that exhausts what he was given and even borrow as long as it is used for just cause .On the other hand BAT was not given federal allocation for some years as the governor of Lagos state the biggest economy in Nigeria ,yet he was able to run the state with IGR ,please i am not supporting any of the candidates but this as been bothering me for sometime now please great thinkers what do you have to say about this thanks

I got your point and share your perspectives.
Tinubu had competence but he lacks character in respect of corruption. If it were Tinubu of 1999, I would have supported the guy because the strength and vitality were still there.
Given the level of corruption in our society, we need someone who could set right our institutions. Tinubu at the current state has no competence again due to old age and illiness, and the corruption will triple under his watch of elected, and I'm sure you know the development outcome.

Obi is needed this time to set right our institutions, imagine what happened in UK where a Prime minister was fined for not using the seat belt. That's what we need. Our sense of wrongs and rights has been destroyed by the endemic corruption in the nation.
Imagine a CBN boss celebrating his birthday in North America and spraying dollars at the party. Imagine a CBN boss given non collateral loans of 2billions naira to some governors and law makers.
That shameful level of corruption cuts across every of our institution. And the fight must begin from there. Hence , OBI.

Sorry for you. With all the hardship inflicted by this government and the level of corruption going on, and the best you can suggest is Tinubu at his age wih everything around him. I wouldn't have problem with you if it were Tinubu of 1999 because he had capacity though he has no character. But as of today, he has no capacity again due to old age and illness, and yet you are still campaigning for him.

If Tinubu meant well for Nigeria, nothing stopped from bringing out a more vibrant younger person and shared all his visions with the fellow.

Tannhauser:

Why are you people so adverse to reading? How Una take dey pass exams sef?

It's sad! This generation doesn't read! That explains the level of their understanding!!!

OGHENAOGIE:
the fees isn't much given realities of situation now... Education isn't cheap... The only aspect of education that government should fund free is primary and secondary education... Finish... With a good high school education one can Live a decent lifelihood... Except we just want to deceive ourselves... Private university charges like over one million so...

God bless you!!! Vocational and technical education are what we need in Nigeria

sotall:


This Micheal is a pained and bitter idiot who only came out to be singing because he no longer benefits from Atiku's money.

He wouldn't have come out singing if he was still receiving corruption money from Atiku.

You're quite unbelievable. Does that justify the crime? Whoever is pained about other wicked politicians should please come out too. The question is is this true? If is true, all these guys should be stoned to death be it any politician.

Obakoolex:
Am entitled to my own opinion likewise yours. Have been under the direct leadership of many great people....past records, ability, maturity (not by age), charisma and legacy are the most traits I personally learned from this leaders.
The person of Tinubu posses all this mentioned traits especially his past record in ability to create wealth, secondly his legacy is 'success' in almost all he ventures in, even he cares greatly about his successors to continue and do better than him that's a leader!
Now the issue about old age and fitness....I pray most people condemning him has the ability to even stand for 20 minutes when they get to his age let alone going from one place to another upon series of meetings and obligations. Mind you Joe biden is 79 this year is he doing a bad job
Obi is a good man but not tough enough for that seat (my opinion)
His past records shows more of prudence than actual expectations

I do agree with you on every good thing you said about Asiwaju. However, I disagree with you on the fact that people are mocking his fitness. Nigeria is bigger than anyone and we shouldn't be sentimental at all. He is a good administrator per excellence, no doubt, but his current health may not carry the tasks at hand. Nigeria is in the mess, not entirely, Buhari's fault but largely by wicked people that surrounded him. He has done to the best what his health could permit him though woefully. We need a president who has the administrative acumen of Tinubu but also has the strength of Obi.
Forget it, things might get worse despite his administrative acumen without good health because people that surround these people are terrible. So it requires a president who is mentally alert that keep track of things and be on his toes.

Obakoolex:
Respected Yoruba elderman just like Obasanjo his former boss. It's a good thing they are aligning to a southern president. It's their opinion and am sure they have a reason for supporting Obi.

But me and my household have our own opinion and know what we see in Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu as well, so our vote belongs to him and he will succeed Buhari God willing

Can you please tell me what you're seeing in Asiwaju that we're not seeing.
I am a Yoruba man, I would have preferred Asiwaju of 2015 or 1999 because of the soundness of his health and mental alertness.
Unfortunately, Asiwaju of today is not the same as Asiwaju of those years.
I do not doubt his administrative acumen but the task ahead demand a very energetic president.
Asiwaju cannot cope as CEO of our commercial banks because of his current state.
I would have loved him to throw his weight behind Fasola or Osimbajo and baptize them with whatever vision he has for the country.
If you're truthful and love the nation, you would place national interest above personal interest, I was rooting for Asiwaju because of his past administration acumen assuming he's in good state of health. After watching series of his outings, you cannot love Nigeria and still vote this man except for personal interest.

As at today, Obi is a better 'sinner' among all the three front aspirants.

I wish Nigeria the best, and may God because of millions of helpless children in core villages and cities of Nigeria intervene supernaturally in the affairs of this nation. God is so powerful to remove any pending enemies of this nation. He has done it before, and He can do it again, and we hope He will do it again in Jesus name.

siralos135:
But why will final year students not resume back to school immediately after the break considering they just wasted 8 months of their time due to ASUU strike?

They should be the one calling out the lecturer

And that's the enough reason to conduct test for an empty class?

This lecturer cannot survive a session in sane society without dismissal.

franchasng:
Tell your sister to keep working and saving and give US another shot.


With her monthly salary and prospect, resigning to migrate to UK might not be a good or smart decision, unless she is married with kids and maybe her hubby isn't earning as much as she does, then the option of migrating to UK might be cool. If she is not married tell her to stay back and save more

Thanks so much!!!

erico2k2:
can she save N1m monthly?

Anyway, I don't know how she saves monthly because she's not accountable to me. She recently finished a building project for her parent and I am sure she has have over #25M cash after the building project.
As to what she saves, I have no idea. I got to about her cash in the bank when someone approached her for POF through me.

franchasng:
Don't mind Nigerians jareh.


For anybody living in Nigeria and earning less than 1million a month, UK is far better for that person.



Unless you are earning above 1million in Nigeria, then I can say migrating to the UK is not a smart decision, but for those earning less than 1million monthly in Nigeria, please if you can, migrate to UK legally, e get why

So what should be your advice to my sis with CFA, earning #900k monthly, and with her her yearly bonus, her monthly package will be more than 1.5M. Aside the fact she will definitely get a promotion next year?
She wants to migrate to UK. She has tried US once but didn't click. I have advised her to try US more than UK but she feels US wahala is much and hence considering UK .

Kenn55:
Nairaland is a place where someone can become anything they wish. Some people are millionaires and billionaires on nairaland but are poor in real life .

A former church member wrote ielts 5 times, he could not pass it and he gave up
He is now an anti japa crusader on social media. But then people who read his posts don't know he wrote ielts 5 good times. I pity those who can't make their own research and rely on nairaland people

I honestly don't know why people have such resentment towards people that have achieved what they couldn't achieve. Why discouraging people to migrate if they want. Migration is age long phenomenon even from bible days.
I have so many brilliant friends that have left the country and I have so many other brilliant friends who believe they would not migrate anywhere. I have a consultant friend who left for Canada and returned back to Nigeria for personal reasons. He's in US now. He likes Nigeria and always looking forward to retire in his home-town.

Leaving or staying in Nigeria is not a success. Leave people alone to explore especially when they're very young. I might not encourage some who's 50 years older to do so because of peculiarities of western world, except you are well established in the global demand skills.

Waterlrd:
I can assert that you're also a victim of this disfunctional education system and that's why you do not have brain to reason or perhaps a beneficiary of the corruption & failed system with which you're enabled to act as it counsel.

You do not need to attack everyone that doesn't share your opinion. It's your opinion that they should be paid and itsy his opinion that should not be paid for work not done as obtained in decent climes. All you need to do is to provide superior arguments why you guys should be paid. Nigerian lecturers are too autocratic and domineering. He doesn't need to agree with you and that doesn't make him less intelligent or stupid.
Learn to tolerate other people's opinions.

By the way, this your president speaks with many mouths, shortly after the strike, he said they called off the strike majorly to obey the court order. Why is he changing it now?
.
Learn to be tolerant please

Germany offer free schooling and don't argue with me on this o. Are they not far better than us educational wise? And the food u eat in your house is different because that will be purchased in bulk

Sit down there. Why not go to Germany and see how it is. What's the total population of Germany? How many Germans are in Universities across Germany.

tuzle:
commit get out. U are using yahoo boys and runs girl to classify all fed uni student. I no how long I had to work during the strike period before I could buy a phone of 54k and how I had to starve after that. If the fee is to be increased, let it be reasonable and not 100% increase. Some student work their ass out just to pay school fees. Some people think it is only school fees that u pay in school ones that is over no more expenses they don't include transportation costs for the section, feeding, accomodation and other expenses that one will pay.

If you de your house, you no go eat? You go still pay transport to some places.
The percentage increase is not the issue but the absolute amount. Paying less than 150K per annum on any course is not sustainable.

Warmaterial:
Is their right to protest anyhow they want... You can't beat a child and expect
him not to cry. Rubish country called Nigeria.

Look at you! Why would you open your mouth and cast aspersions on your country on matter you know nothing about.
How much did they ask them to pay? Find out the cost of education for one year in your supposed good countries.

No university student should be paying less than 150K per annum.
What's the essence of paying nothing to study medicine and co in Nigeria and later leave the country to elsewhere to practice.
If Nigeria must work, everyone must pay contribute!!!

I know a lawyer here who had 4 cars and sold all his cars and relocated to the States. 10yrs after ,a friend who met him there said he is now a taxi driver. No be juju be that. He met him,infact,he was the driver that took him to his destination. His wife left him with the kids. He said the man told him that he is ashame to return to Nigeria

I don't believe your narrative but don't attack me. I just find it difficult to believe.

DenreleDave:
may you lose your money in Jesus name if you pray for our national currency to lose value. u will never regain the money again

Amen, in Jesus name!!! Enemies of the nation!!! God will disappoint them and the one they have gathered through hoarding of dollars will not profit them.

Reference:
And what is the basis of such prayers when the government by its actions are pressurizing the naira.

Should be praying for the roots not the branches of the matter and certainly not the fruits of their actions.

I say it is black friday in government corridors for their pet contractors. To see how much loot they can cash out before May 29 and you are saying pray.

You will do worse than the present leaders you are accusing. If in your powerless state, you're this greedy and selfish, you would do worse than any past leaders. Unfortunately, the papers you're gathering will not profit you when the rewards of evil intention against Naira and Nigeria begin to take a course in your life. Unfortunately, you won't be able to relate the cause with the effects

Connected1:
So because of your greed we should then pray for depreciation of our currency and further suffering of Nigerians.

It will even drop to #100 and you will cry bitterly.

If not for greed you have asked properly before investing .

God bless you brother!!!
God will disappoint these wicked and greed people praying for naira depreciation.
Naira will bounce back in Jesus name!!!

Raxxye:
Seriously?
Greedy, wicked and non-patriotic Nigerians won't like this news. But the God of 200 million suffering Nigerians will judge them!

Amen in Jesus name!!!

Viscuz:
Naira is now useless you can argue or blame any third party you like .

It is DEAD !!!

Why is this your prayers? What do stand to gain in all of these?

CoronaVirusRelo:
It will be dishonest and a ridicule for His Excellence, President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, The Albert Einstein of African politics, to descend so low and stand on same podium with the political prostitutes like Peter and Atiku!

If not for modern civilization, No way on Earth will Peter and Atiku would have ever stood a chance to stand 1000 feet close to His Excellence, President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, not to talk of having a dream to stand on same podium with a The political Aristotle.

Moreover, His Excellence, President Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, is not in anyway constitutionally mandated to attend debates or interviews, His political prowess< reach and versatility outweighs and outperforms a mere debate that lacks candidates that can match his feet's and achievements

You're a great enemy of Nigeria.
Why would he not attend debate? Debates are part of democratic processes anywhere.

I'm not a fan of Obi and unfortunately was given Tinubu a consideration before but his flagrant disregard for public debates shows he's hiding some things and he's not fit as being circulated.
He should be able to stand on debates podium for hours being questioned by people he intends to lead.
None of the three candidates is a saint; three of them have their terrible pasts though in different proportions. So we are not looking for saintliness in them but rather genuineness of their interest in placing placing national interest above private interest.
We should be able to x- ray their policies through questions in debates and he should be able to convince us beyond doubt he's the best for the job.
If someone cannot withstand the rigour of debates, take it or not such a fellow does not have the stamina and strength required of governance of in Nigeria.

Issues based debates are indispensable part of democratic processes. I do not support debates where candidates would be asked personal questions but saying you would not attend issues based debates is a serious alarm that should not discarded.

Vinesee:
Peter Obi, if Nigerians miss this man, our future will remain bleak

Perhaps your OWN future.

The future of Nigerians and Nigeria does not depend on any candidate. God will do great things in Nigeria through the vessel He has ordained which may be and may not be your preferred candidate.

chariiks:
Good one abi we don't have rats in the mosque. While make a point by denigrating the sanctity of christian religion. Tinubus is threading on a path that ll bring God's judgement on him.

Deputy God!!! With the way you guys bring your sentiment into everything, Obi will loose this election.
Nothing was wrong with what he said. He didn't create the idiomatic expression.
And interestingly, the only food kept in the church is holy communion (which could either be the cake/bread and the wine). It could become poisonous either by expiration or exposure.

The man was right.
You guys should go beyond politics of sentiment, ideas and issues should be object of discourse. This 21st century!

By the way, when did you become a Canadian consular officer to grant visa to anyone you like?
You have no power to bring anyone into any country except he or she was part of your dependants in your application process.
If not, you have no such power.

To bring any other person outside your dependant lists in your application, you prove beyond reasonable that he's your spouse.
You have to first get Marry to him and kick-start his process of your 'spouse' joining you and not friend.
The best you can do for him now is to provide useful information about his own independent application to relocate,which I think good friends should provide for one another without any emotional attachment, and this doesn't guarantee him getting approved.

This is a fight to finish. Enough of FG's nonsense. Nobody really cares about the damn meagre salary.[/quot

You're the one that's very daft.
You want to be paid for abandoning your work for 8 months.
Government has failed every sector in Nigeria and if everyone should abandon work for 8 months, and expected to be paid. The money will just drop from the heaven.
Thieve and daft person calling someone people daft.
I was so happy with what government did fir them.
Why are they now accepting the offer of IPPS accomodating their peculiarities. They were shouting UTAS or nothing.
Only in Nigeria employees dictate payment platform for the employers.

membranus:
You are petty too supporting injustice against the poor and suffering masses, as exemplified by ASUU, by a devilish government.

The ASUU is peopled by a principled lecturers with great dreams for the young wards under their care, and not swayed by their immediate entitlement and needs.

Not unlike some people here acting as anonymous spokesman for a government from the pit of hell.

God's unfailing judgement awaits you all.

Stop these noise! ASUU is fighting for their pockets and they're so free to do so, but stop painting lies as truth here.
Doctors in Nigeria should abandon the poor patients to die more in a bid to savage the health sector too.
Wicked people and selfsh people!
