In terms of influence, I think objs is number followed by buhari, obi defeated Tinubu in Lagos, Abuja and Rivers

You mean popular - different from influence

thesicilian:
Tinubu is by far the most powerful and influential.
His influence, which contrary to popular opinion runs much deeper than the southwest, is even more remarkable in the sense that he has never been in any office at the national level unlike the likes of most others on the list. Obi and Wike are mostly popular (?powerful ) in their regions

Buhari is the most powerful at the moment.
Obi is the most popular, especially with the educated, regardless of region.
Tinubu is the most polarizing - those who love him do so fanatically; those who despise him truly despise him. After inauguration he'd of course be the most powerful.
Atiku and Tinubu are the most corrupt.
The rest don't have any particularly distinguishing factors about them!

Gettheinfo:
Dropping soon....

Awaiting with bated breath

How about most corrupt? Give us that one too.
After that, give us list of most useless

I no just understand this their zulu dance.... Maybe the dance dey help stretch their kpekus....

Me too my brother. The stupidest "dance" I know.
Seems the whole point of the dance is who will lift leg highest!

Kinqmaker:
Dis man… hmmm

Dis man what? The guy Sonnobax15 is spitting the truth. As a Nigerian there's simply no other site like Nairaland. There's something about the place. So simple, yet there's so much depth to it. Many people's default search engine, and rightfully so!

We are blessed to have this. Other countries don't have it (not like this. I've searched)

sukkot:
Got my mechanic from here. That guy is the best mechanic in the whole Africa. One time I overheated my car cuz radiator fan motor stopped working. Anyway so gasket was gone. This guy pieces my whole engine in front of me as in he almost completely disembowelled the car, and in my mind am praying this guy remembers everything he undid, anywAy he put it all back together and car drives like brand new. On these streets am kicking every cars butt because of this job he did. He washed the radiAtor too and put new fan . Car drives with so much power now. Thanks to nairaland. Being using the guy for 3 years now

You know what's comming next don't you
We want to know who this guy is, and if we can use him too!

I honestly want to believe you, i really do but my experience and the reinforcements of hates from both tribes against each other have proved otherwise. The perception on social media is a mirror of the underlying society.

That's social media. In real life people are not like that. There are things that bind people beyond tribe

Scarpon:
Admin please kindly help and push to front page.. Thank you

You gotta be kidding, this on front page

** Small scale buying wholesale and selling retail
** Rent-to-drive Uber or Keke biz
** Selling - as in affiliate marketing and such, that require some upfront money

Skyview01:
Nairaland has shown me that we as Nigerians are not one and may sadly, never be.

It has made me realize that TRIBALISM is real and we may have a replay of Hotel Rwanda in Nigeria at some point in the future.

You have it all wrong by far!!
Those people are NOT like that in real life. It is like road rage - people are only like that while driving. Same way, the nonsense those people write, lying in bed in their pajamas, is NOT how they are in real life!

OAkanni001:
That was why I said the problem lies in the government and the governed. The government in terms of corruption and the governed in terms of been used as political tools in addition to our belief system. Just like what you expressed in your comment

It is more than "government and governed". The ENTIRE SYSTEM and PEOPLE within it have to be changed.
Which of course means getting rid of the country and starting a new country with new people. Which, of course, is impossible - which is why I concluded the country will never improve much

OAkanni001:
I saw a news about some Anambra female innovators and I offered my two cents which i felt ought to be a post on it own. Here it is for your reading pleasure:

You forget the biggest impediment in Nigeria: CORRUPTION!!!!

Here's how it works:
Besides public monies disappearung into private pockets, any improvement will be impeded by entrenched people who benefit from the status quo.
And it permeates ALL aspects of life in the country, from electricity to police to justice system, medical, schools, ALL aspects of life
Looking at all that, my sincere assessment is:
NIGERIA WILL NEVER IMPROVE MUCH.
NEVER!!

.

Simple: go to any passport office and they'll tell you what to do OR they'll direct you to where to go and drop some bribe with your info and they'll do it all for you!

She's trying to get you to eat more fruits
- I thought that'll be obvious

Web2020:
They came and destroyed African kings, especially Benin, but preserved their own.

Not totally - they gave us Tinubu

Robinmido:
God save the king

Save him from what exactly?

See US own below

Same thing happened in US

Short answer is NO!
Impossible goal

None.
My parents are not beaters. They use psychology to discipline. And it works!

G00DHardDick:
Damn!

Sane Nigerians knows this already. However, in a sane society where the judicial system works, the election tribunal will deliver judgement on or before may 29 to ascertain the true winner of Feb 25 elections. From all indications, it is obvious Peter obi won the election and as such Nigerians expect the election tribunal to do the needful and restore Obi's stolen mandate. Damn! Imagine how sane Nigeria will be with obi at the helm of affairs.

Obi definitely won in a big landslide AMONG THE ELITE AND EDUCATED.
That's the only thing I'm sure about!

No need for Chatgtp. Any thinking person knows this - any person who can read with comprehension, and without bias!

Danisaint112:
Alright I have heard you.

It is not a question of hearing, you must put it into action. Always have the big picture in mind. Don’t be enticed into toxic tribalism!

ukaface:
i’m not talking about the video
But in the country

Thought we were talking about this particular woman. Well, hijab is banned in public/government places in Turkey. I expect to visit one day

Codes151:
normally Tinubu Dey ok.
But e Bleep up.
1. Couldn't help this dullard with the so much ideas he claims to have.
2. Old n needs to rest. We don't need another dysfunctional president with dementia hence there will b absent n lots of looting esp from his greedy family.

But you be igbo sha. 😂

Las

Nigeria is a zoo

You were making perfect sense till you went back to "you be Igbo". Maybe you're trying to trick me into revealing my tribe. Ain't gono work

As for Tinubu, he didn't bleep up at all, contrary to your position. It is US not him. Only one question left to be asked:
What is wrong with us??!!

post=122919798:
See for yourself

I'll do just that and report back here

Krublog:
Lol!!!

When I read that report, you were the first person that crossed my mind.

Skirmishes here and there, but on the whole Abuja is safe.

Try Kubwa. Abaji generally is a notorious place cos of its proximity to I think Kogi or so.

It's closer to a state than to the city center.

Nigeria as a whole is a security mess my brother.

Honestly, too many such reports from Abj, unlike Lagos. Maybe it's just a bit too close to BH.
Doesn't it scare you even a little?

candygist:
Him papa and your papa no be the same na. No be your family.

That's why it's a question. Can you read?
