Why is Tinubu running away from public debate with Peter Obi and Atiku ?


The ban on political activities is yet to be lifted. Your man is jumping the gun. And there could be repercussions for that later.

Alright then, so all of us should be on the fence and not vote because i have also never voted before. lets all sit back and keep Nigeria on the same place because we don't trust him. Infact i support you, it's better we trust the other old politicians who have failed us. They have earned our trust. Don't you think?
I am not in Nigeria. if i was, why wont i vote?

You are the idiot here, every civilized world build strong institution and not people alone. Institution outlast people. Nigeria doesn't want to build institution but come looking for leaders with "Messianic tendency" ,our brain has been damaged occasioned by religion into this a messiah thing ,every four four years only to be once again disappointed.
How will sane human say 1999 military decree is not our problem and you believe if you are sane yourself? When did people that made up of Nigeria sit and write the military decree because for a document to be term a constitution, it must be peopled.

Now ,to please Hausa Fulani slave masters, every southern presidential candidate will always pretend this Parasitic Unitary system of government Fraudgeria practice is not the problem.
Tell me a country on planet Earth that practice unitary system of government where there are 3 major Ethnic nation (without clear majority), it is not possible because there will never be basis for development ,it will be implosion here and there. For a Unitary system to work anywhere, there must be dominant Ethnic nation who will Lord over the smaller ethnic groups. Just like putting German,French and English together then expect the country to be great.

Many of you are retards anyway.

Unless you didn't read that article very well or you chose to play the devil's advocate, Peter Obi answered all the questions he was asked. His answers are in the explanation he gave. They are not yes or no questions.
No he didn't.
Before you can farm in the Sambisa as he insinuated, we all know you must have annihilated ISWAP and Boko Haram.
He didn't tell us how's he'll do that.
Talk is cheap. Obi's unrealistic.

If you are not a fool, you would know by now that for all countries of the world that had great institution, it took great leadership to engineer it?

How do you achieve change of the constitution with the leaders who exploits it's defects for their own loot.

Right now, what is the priority? Good leadership. No one is saying 1999 constitution is not defective, but bad leadership will not contemplate changing it.

This is what you need to understand

So it is Peter Obi that will give Nigeria "a great constitution"? Go home and ask about what happened after Major-General JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi unilaterally changed the 1963 constitution via Decree 34 of 1966. And ask them to tell you the outcome of that foolishness.

. If you build trust and people can see that the things you are doing are transparent, you can be able to negotiate whether we can pay this level of subsidy and be able to use the excess, which we are not going to pay to invest in other things

So in essence, he won't totally remove subsidy but paying some percentage as to what this present government is doing.

Also he's talking about agriculture, same agriculture the present government is begging Nigerians to go into with so many loans but majority prefer white collar jobs.

It's well, I haven't seen any plans outside what this present government is doing.

Incoherent as usual, earning your daily living.

Does constitution as a paper have the ability to govern Nigeria?
Who are those who change the constitution if it has an issue?
Is it not the leaders?

Who are those that recognise that a constitution is defective in the first place and work towards modification? Is it not leadership?

Who are those who implement a good constitution? Is it not the leaders?

If you change 1999 constitution and retain bad leaders, will things change?

So that means everything boils down to human beings; leadership. Not the paper constitution
This is so lame!
See how you whitewashed the unspeakable toxicity of the 1999 constitution even worse than Obi did.
You guys always shielding Obi from the grills and rigor that comes with being an aspirant trying to win the highest position in the land.

The constitution shapes the leaders. The constitution is everything!
A bad constitution will prevail over a good leader and vice versa.
We must get rid of the 99 constitution.

You are a blatant fool for being misled by the headline. Lazy youth!! Too lazy to read a simple article!

Imagine what would happen to foolish people like me if Obi should become president . You would Brook no opposition. You would make Obi a tin god and whoever dared to question him would have a day with the Unknown Gunmen. What offence did I commit that you should call me names and also abuse me? You do not have the temperament to contain half of the foolish things you say to other Nigerians. This is one of the reasons we are sure that Obi will never be president of Nigeria .

Tell Obi that there is a vicious circle between bad leadership and a constitution of injustice. Bad leaders produce a wicked constitution, and a wicked constitution produces bad leaders. You need good leaders to come up with a good constitution, and a good constitution would produce good leaders.
