I am from Ekiti and I can tell you authoritatively that Ayo Fayose, the leader of PDP in Ekiti state will vote and work for Tinubu in 2023. Ekiti will return nothing less than 85% for APC in 2023.

In Oyo state, almost every reasonable leader like Ladoja who helped Makinde to victory in 2019 are now part of SWAGA. The Presidential election will be a massacre.

No point saying anything about Lagos. APC won over 80% of the total vote cast in the n the last Lagos east bye election that was held immediately after the Endsars protest.

PDP made a significant inroad into Ondo state in 2019 because of the infighting in APC. The infighting is over now and everybody including governor Akeredolu are in bed with SWAGA. The 2023 election will be a massacre in Ondo state as well.

Ur opinion...

My own opinion is irrespective of who apc gives their ticket to, pdp will win in Lagos, oyo, ekiti states.
They will get considerate votes in osun, ondo and ogun.

Stop writhing and whining...

Zandena:
Why are you guys jittery about oil discovery in the north?
What do you stand to gain by your reservation and contemplation about it?
Why do you southerners especially east and south/south always unhappy when good things happen in the north?
Why are you happy that FG is building a super highway from Cross Rivers to Cameroon and you showed your resentment to FG's rail line to Niger Republic?
Are you the one who distribute the Blessings of God and do you have the power to stop God's grace to others and vice versa?
High blood pressure will kill all of you all!

From that article, no single South South man contributed nor an igbo man added or said anything about the oil discovered in quantum volumes...
Na yorubas from south west spoke and shared their truthful views.

So carry ur mata go meet yorubas wey wan open bubu nyash


Which FG is building super highway to cameroun from cross river?
Small bridge wey dem construct replacing a collapsed bridge that linked those2 communities don turn super highway...

Bridge that is less than 1km...

Aboki will always be aboki..
Dunderhead...

Depending on who will be PDP’s presidential and vice presidential candidates, APC will get nothing less than 35% in south south.

Irrespective of who APC projects to be their presidential candidate, PDP will win oyo, lagos and ekiti states. They will have considerate votes in ogun, and ondo.

skywalker240:
I remembered One night after a heavy downpour, at zabayo junction close Mobil beside K ultra, the conductor was like ekewan/asoro/ugbihioko anywhere you drop 500, i told him along along, he said 500 anywhere you drop, omo i trek go house, i felt pity for those people who are going to ekewan barrack or even cassava village, I know they will pay 1000 or even 1500

Benin case is clear greediness, we know the road to barrack is nothing to write home about, but they are just too greedy

Trader's want you to finish the whole money you have on their store too, most times when you give them maybe 1000 they're like change no de oo, buy something join na (people that has been selling since morning ooo) if you are really in need of that stuff that night when there are no other stores on site, you would be left with no choice but to buy, small small na so the money de finish for your hands

Benin own is something else.

But the truth remains that the government of the day is to blame directly or indirectly, because the system abate corruption.

Will you tell me that the useless government is not aware of the increase in price?

What have they done about it?

What will they do when they know directly or indirectly they are the coperate

Apart from this, that border closure too affected everything.

Person wey sell garri knows he will buy rice or beans, how much is beans/rice today?
If u spend time cultivate cassava, harvest it after 8months, process it and sell 50kg at 3thousand. Can that 3thousand buy u a 25kg bag of rice or beans?
Garr i back then was cheap, dollar rate didnt affect price of garri, the only thing that affected garri price then was during planting season, garri eill be costly to some extent.
But today we don't even know when be planting season again, garri is now priced with forex condition.

Transportation isnt a problem in high cost of food in Nigeria, govt of all level r the cause.
Every local govt chairman wants to increase his revenue not minding how it is done.
Transporting goods from point A to B, u might pass thru 50 local govt areas, al those council areas must extort money from u.

freshkpomo:
During the previous government they cried that the hike in transportation was due to the high taxes paid, but at some point the current government did cut down all of it, but did that change anything? No it did not.
OK let's talk about fuel, when there is fuel scarcity or increase in pump price you see them quickly increase price including a majority who uses diesel. OK you feel Eiya, na, fuel cause am. Gbam, diesel goes up, you see same people increasing price again and crying ooooooooo diesel. If food prices is to start dropping it should begin with these men, they are the major link between producers and consumers.

Then govt should also have transporters working for them to bridge the gap and curtail bottlenecks in that sector, since the private owners r exploiting the system.

freshkpomo:
They call it survival instinct, but what I see is greed.

Did you wake-up and ask yourself why the price of commodities especially food keep going up? Most people are quick to jump on the government ( though they maybe right because Nigeria currently produce enough food that can feed triple of our population) but don't really talk about their individual contribution. I will use one case I have studied as an example, I believe many of you have noticed others too and can add.


1. TRANSPORTATION : I will be using these guys today as one of those who are not government but are worst and their greed has added to the increase we see in food prices today. A friend traveled to Abuja a week ago and told me he bought rice for less than 100 naira a cup, and matches for 10naira a box, but here in Benin a cup of rice in my Area goes for 150 and a box of matches 30 naira, if then pity you two boxes for 50 naira. I believe this price variation cuts across states. If we were to use standard of living, things ought to be more expensive in Abuja than in Benin, but why is it the reverse? Even garri we produce is expensive abi border still affect am?


A critical look, I realise that the cashing out actually begin with the drivers, these people charge outrageous bills and do it in a very rude manner that the frustrated women/sellers have no option than to put their frustration on what they sell. They charge for your seat, charge for your laps, charge for every single thing and these people have to go through this loop severally with arrogant drivers before getting it to their consumers, at the end they too have to make profit.


I don't hate the transport people but I think they are one of the most greedy people in the country and contributes massively to price hike. They exploit every little excuse, if rain fall a place of 150 automatically becomes 500 or more, when it's getting dark and there is a rush, a place of 50 naira becomes 200 and these people have no option but to just enter and get to their destination. You don't see then reduce prices when things are favourable but ate quick to cry out when it's not.

Actually ur assertion is vague, null and void.

First all Nigerians including u the op is greedy.
The government of Nigeria is filled with nigerians and not foreigners unless u have proof..

Trying to blame Nigerians n not the government is like blaming the stove and not kerosene.

Transporters face hell in Nigeria.

From lagos to onitsha, there r more than 100 checkpoints along that corridor, extorting transporters from the little they collect.
Imagine paying each checkpoint 100naira, that is 10k because u comot for house wan find daily food.
I travelled from ph to calabar on the 8th of august, i went to aktc park but there was no bus to calabar, had to settle for a private car.
Na woman drive the car, person wife n mother, those police along east west road no even pity the woman, we passed more than 10 checkpoint for that road, each point collected 100naira, one checkpoint cease the woman's 500naira cos of change. The useless police man refused giving her change,he begin delay us.
So drivers or transporters aren't the issue, but govt.

For now u can keep crying, we understand it.

DubaiLandLord1:
This is a fake news

The APC will zone the presidency to the south, there is no way they will also zone the position of the Party Chairman to the South again.

Even though this is a fake news, the APC will never microzone her presidential ticket to the SE Geopolitical zone. Know this and have peace.

On what basis should the APC microzone the party ticket to the South East bro? Don't you know a man like Tinubu that has worked hard for the APC to be what it is today will be unjustly schemed out?

Reason am now abeg.

The PDP should be the ones that will microzone the presidency to the South East.

I'm not against an Igbo man from contesting the APC presidential ticket too.

Without Tinubu ACN, the APC won't have wrestle power from the PDP.

Without tinubu, we wouldn't be buying beans today at. 180naira per cup.

tyup:
According to CDC report, not less than 361people are being shot every day in the US. the real question atm is, why is the US still not rated amongst the world unsafe country?? no matter how worse security situation is in Nigeria 2527 persons cannot be shot dead weekly in Nigeria

Truly Nigerians atm is one of Nigeria's biggest problem, tell em Nigeria is more terrible than Afghanistan and watch em praise you for b!tch talking their country. Nigeria isn't even worse when it comes to kidnapping as compared to South Africa but do brainless Nigerians know?? NO

6years ago zombies n apc urchins were comparing Nigeria with yemen, somalia n Afghanistan. Today somalia, Afghanistan, yemen r thanking God their country isnt as bad as Nigeria.

iyke2frankeze:
Any Police officer tracking phones have to pay the ICT personnel that will provide information on the location of the criminals and you don't expect the police officer to fund the tracking with his small salary. Their only work is to use the information given to them about the location, movement, the phone number of both the criminal and phone numbers of the people that usually interact with him on phone and heat map of their target to locate the person. They once helped in tracking my friends lost phone and were impressed by their performance. It is the government that has failed to equip the Nigerian Police properly. So community instead of providing the N60, 000 will prefer to pay N30, 000,000.00 to the bandits?

Have u heard of SECURITY VOTE?
How do u think this money is being spent?
U think govrs embazzle it entirely without using part of it to do anything?

If a govrs security vote is 2billion, 60percent of such funds will be spent on security, the entire security units in the state gets its own share of what is being shared. From. Police, navy, army, airforce, civil defence, and every other corps doing business in the state.
So saying whether police should use his salary to pay for tracking of private lines is rubbish talk.
Trying to defend people who r extorting the public for services they have been paid to render not just to the citizens but also for their own good.

Rest in Peace Nigeria....

Lovers and Haters of Nigeria, the halleluya boys shebi u can see Nigeria our beloved country is irredeemable.....

KanoFirstSon:
Lalasticlala As seen on social media. The Calabar drivers association have backed up their price increment with some explanations. Below is the memo they circulated to the public.



Op: For the common masses,It must be hell living in the Southern part of Nigeria especially the South East. How do y’all cope with level of greed inherent in most sellers of goods and services.

So how much is fuel sold there in kano?
How much is a gallon of engine oil?

Crowwejihadist:
You are just crying because of mere 15 sold. Smh.

One of the destroyers...

Civil fraud
The civil service stinks of corruption, I met someone last week who was sourcing for bank details of individuals; someone in a federal ministry want to use them to funnel funds, they'll take their shares and send the rest to another account.

Bros connect me now...
My account is clean and empty

leokid866:
Bi-courtney also runs MMA2 doesn't mean they don't answer to FAAN, if you like build it, run it, set it on fire, you will still report to FAAN. because without them who will give you the license you need? plus all taxes generated at the ports whether name you build am or not, or whether name you determine run am still go to FG not state.....

Bros lagos state govt havent built one hanger even with huge revenues generated since the time of tinubu.
Whether it will be operated by faan, ncaa or whoever, they haven't.
Lekki seaport is solely lasg project, why did they initiate it knowing fully well it will definitely be operated by fed govt?

SIONKPO1:
You are wrong Railway has been working just that it wasn't commercially viable,until GEJ did the work and PMB sustained it,Railway workers are really trying

Working from where to where? U call lagos-ibadan railway working?
Haven't seen a train in my entire life, just saw some disfunctional tracks in ph n aba n lagos along apapa axis.

leokid866:
All ports be they land, air or sea.....it is the exclusive rights of the FG.....you as a state building airport is like buying transformer, you paid for it but the momment you commission it it becomes property of Nepa.....so if you like build 20 airports in your state you will still have to surrender it to the federal government.....and LOL all lagos factions have been collapsed into one, please remove ambode from there he is a non entity....someone that shat the bed so bad that he lost party primary election is the one that wants to be forming faction, I laugh in Epe

Ibom airport was built, run, managed, controlled by the state.. Its been more than 10yrs now and counting...

Lagos can still build a private hanger for commercial and private purpose to decongest traffic along that ever busy airport road.

If this is happening in NRC, imagine what will happen if Nigeria Airways come onboard, those workers that were summarily dismissed amd the ones left redundant for years will hold the govt hostage and billions invested will now slowly become a mirage...

Let private sector manage certain things...

leokid866:
LOL you think port can be built by states without FG intervention.....you forget port control is on the exclusive list.

Airport nko, is it still in exclusive list?
Lekki seaport has been approved since, has it been completed?
Let's be frank, most of infrastructures in lagos were done by private individuals.

Lagosians are mostly selfmade... Na now lagosians don dey opened to assessing what really is happening in government.
Thats why we r having like 3 apc factions already.
The lagos for lagos, tinubu and ambode factions..
Tinubu did nothing in Lagos, he hide under obasanjo's seizure funds to local govt to escape his frailty and failure.
Under the present laws, states don't have powers to create any local govt or development areas, that's what brought about the imbroglio between obasanjo govt and lasg

alanto:
For me. Na Tinubu o
Not because of tribe or anything and if na religion I’m a Christian but when I look at Lagos compared to other states in Nigeria. I wish he can place that Midas touch on Nigeria. We need to better the economy. Everybody can not be running to Lagos. I mean imagine if Tinubu didn’t plan Lagos?
I rest my case.

Modified: Everyone is supposed to mention their choice but I have over 40 mentions for saying my own is Tinubu. I can’t reply all of you Tinubu haters today we meet another day.
By the way why are you all singing the same song today. I never hear so much people disagree on Tinubu’s touch on Lagos or his ability to govern.
E be like na the new update from una last meeting?

Even before 1999, lagos was filled with people from all walks of life..
Lagos was a former federal capital, housing all govt agencies, ministries, parastatals and most iocs.
Lagos house the only seaports in Nigeria, those facilities were develooed by the federal govt of Nigeria...
The murtala mohammed international airport was built by federal govt of Nigeria..
There is no airport built by lagos state govt for the past 20yrs.
States like delta, akwaibom, taraba, anambra, even small ebonyi don build airport from their meagre income.
Fourth mainland bridge is still on paper and billboards but not on ground, 3rd mainland bridge was constructed by federal govt.
So many facilities in lagos were done by federal govt.
With the trillions lagos generates yearly, lagos should be miles ahead of other states, lagos should be having their own NIPP distributing power to the entire lagosians 24/7 daily, lagos shouldnt have wait for buhari to connect its state with oyo state by rail.
So show me what specific and outstanding infrastructures built by LASG these past 20yrs?

The same fate awaits those that collect agmeis loan. You don't know the harm you cause yourself by collecting these loans and not repay them thinking it's your share of the national cake.

Nothing will happen to them abeg...

Tradermoni wey osinbajo waka for leg dey give, how many people don refund am?

How many dey don arrest?

Can they even pinpoint people they gave the monies to?

Don't forget the loan was to run for 1year after they start refunding monthly for 6months.
Na so anchor borrowers dey, most of those they gave na cash dem give, how will u go and tell them to repay?

Got a nice point up there but our porous borders and the Libyan crisis would make it easier for the Government to buy arms through this back door of a thing except Aircraft of course

They will lose so much money from that end.

Na that black market route cos am.
Black market na 50/50...

SpecialAdviser:
Not a matter of jealousy bro. Those oil community can be funny some times. What is 10 bags of rice for an oil company?

Why not just ask the company for end of year support and wait for their response?

Maybe the last time they asked for support, the company forwarded 20thazan to them.

na why them specifically detailed the kind of support they need hencefort..

Chai naigerian yoots..

BKayy:
Ikpeazụ/PDP will still campaign on a plank in that road while the citizens will stand in the mud and be cheering him. Then they will vote in PDP again.

The problem of Abia is the people, coupled with tribalism.

Any place tribalism reigns, the politicians take full advantage of it. After witnessing the last election in Abia, I lost faith in them.

Maybe they should vote in yoruba man or fulani so tribalism will end.

It is ridiculous that the @op came up with this mischief. 80% of the things on that list were either never said, not said that way, or not said by GMB. I'm even surprised he did not include the $1 = N1 promise.

Go get a life son! You are stuck with GMB for the next 4-8 years. Better pray that he performs well, else this country is messed up for that period. Voting him out won't even be enough to compensate for the damage.

Na wa. These politicians have no humanity in them. This was a party that brought him to limelight, he didn't only leave which is bad enough, he now wants to demolish the building. A building someone built with his money. Of what economic value will destroying that building add to the state of Zamfara?

Maybe it will end banditry...

Story, is it only the US that sell arms, FG can always get arms elsewhere and give it to their terrorists called soldiers...

If you really wanna help the protesters, give them arms like you did in Nicaragua and currently Ethiopia

The only country they can buy arms is Russia, once Nigeria usethat route, we r doomed.

What do u think made pastor oritsejafor to be pipular that year?
Na this issue.
Apc via murtala nyarko wrote to UN, US to stop selling military hardwares to nigeria cos the Nigerian army under gej was committing pogrom in Northern Nigeria.

US obliged, nigeria had to gothru a dangerous route to buy arms, oritsejafor's jet was hired for the mission.
