Why are you a spoiler, you should have allowed him to proceed with the bet. He would have lost his N1 million along with his preferred candidate losing the election. That would be premium tears in double portion
No vex. I know he does not have that kind of money to stake. That's what informed me to enlighten him.

Surah 4:135 (An-Nissa) states as follows:

"O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do." 

Please relate this to the topic of discussion.

BIGGEST SHAMELESS

APC and PDP

LAGOS: The dismal state of Nigeria's roads is a constant source of exasperation for the long-suffering population but a tongue-in-cheek campaign on social media is trying to shame the authorities into action.

#MYROADISWORSETHANYOURS, Nigerians have been sharing examples of the country's worst highways.

Pictures of bomb crater-sized potholes, roads resembling muddy rivers in the annual rainy season and some unrecognisable even as public thorough fares have been posted online.


"Here's one Lagos road (state governor Babatunde) Fashola needs to repair fast," says one tweet, with a picture of a motorcyclist navigating a flooded road, with water nearly up to his saddle.

The tweets have an underlying seriousness: when Africa's leading economy and oil producer claims to have pumped 1.4 trillion naira ($8.5 billion, 6.75 billion euros) into infrastructure improvements since 1999, why are the roads so bad?


They have also helped balance out the pages of self-congratulatory newspaper advertisements taken out by state governments, proudly displaying the smooth tarmac of upgraded, traffic-free roads.


OLANREWAJU ADENEKAN is
a clearing agent at Lagos' main port of Apapa. He is 51 but looks two decades older and is in poor health. Both he and his doctor blame it on his daily commute.

Adenakan leaves his house in Sango-Ota, north of Lagos, before 4:30 am every day to reach Apapa at around 9:00 am. The distance door-to-door is just 37 kilometres (23 miles).


"The traffic situation is bad. I spend between four and five hours for a journey that should take less than one hour," he told AFP.

Adenekan owns two cars but prefers to take public transport because it is cheaper -- and also because the badly maintained roads take a debilitating toll on his vehicles.

"Nigerians spend a lot of money on maintaining their vehicles because of potholes, which damage tyres, wheel rims, shock absorbers and other components," said quantity surveyor Alani Amusa.

Time spent in traffic jams is also dead time, robbing businesses of productivity and effective workers. When they eventually arrive, they are often exhausted.

Motorists stuck for hours in jams are sitting ducks for armed robbers.

And bad roads mean more accidents. Nigeria had the highest road fatality rates in Africa in 2010 at 33.7 deaths per 100,000, the World Health Organization said in a report published last year.

Recently, petrol tanker drivers threatened to go on strike if the bad roads were not fixed, blaming potholes and gullies for causing accidents.

Nigerian states and the federal authorities have been in dispute about who is responsible for maintaining and improving the roads -- meaning nothing gets done.

The Lagos State government for example has been at loggerheads with Abuja over reimbursements for repairs to federal-owned roads dating back to when Lagos was the country's capital.

- CORRUPTION, UNDER-FUNDING -

As in so many walks of Nigerian life, corruption is also part of the problem.

"Contractors like to cut corners by not working to specification," said Amusa, who is involved in a number of road projects in Lagos state.

"They connive with corrupt officials to use sub-standard materials in order to maximise their profits," added Amusa.

Many roads lack proper drainage, turning them into swimming pools within minutes of a downpour; roadside culverts overflow; tarmac disintegrates; traffic lights and road signs are often absent.

Project costs can also be grossly inflated.

The 338-kilometre (212-mile) dual carriageway linking southern oil-producing states was awarded at a cost of 138.9 billion naira ($835 million, 670 million euros) in 2006 under former president Olusegun Obasanjo.

Eight years later, the cost has increased nearly three-fold to 347 billion naira -- and the road is not yet finished.

QUESTIONS have been asked too about the cost of reconstruction of the 127.8-kilometre Lagos-Ibadan expressway -- the busiest road in West Africa, carrying an average of 250,000 vehicles per day.

The contract was awarded for 167.9 billion naira but some experts believe it could have been revamped for a lot less.

Most people, though, just want their own muddy, potholed streets paved and well-maintained to make the journey from their front doors to the main road less of a bone-shaking obstacle course.

WORKS MINISTER MIKE ONOLEMEMEN BLAMED chronic under-funding from the federal government, which has led to contractors revising up their project costs to accommodate rising prices of materials.

"About 500 billion naira was needed every year for the next four years to pave bad roads," he said. So far, he said the treasury has released just a quarter of the sum for the coming year.

You have a very good point. I have also noted with dismay how the supporters of the two main indigenous southern candidates tear at each other and almost leaving out Atiku as if it is nothing to them that one Fulani man will be taking over from another Fulani if atiku wins.

This forum is called a faceless forum for a reason.
Let us agree for the sake of argument that I am Igbo.
Can you boast that your own tribe has never killed anyone from the Igbo tribe before?
In a nutshell, my own submission is stop demonizing Peter Obi. He is not IPOB when he was a running mate to the man from your tribe.
He who must come to equity must come with a clean hand.
