It is selfishness and greed of Nigerians that cause inflation in Nigeria, in Liberia, they mostly import rice but 50 kg of rice there is around #27,000 at the rate of #750 to USD, in Liberia the official exchange rate is 160LD to USD but Liberia forced it down to 150 to 157 LD for buying and selling is 170 to 180 LD but in Nigeria the official exchange rate is around 450 but see how much Nigerians are selling and buying it.

You guys talk like illiterate most times, you are even blaming the citizen for suffering from governance deficiency.. is it the citizen of Liberia that set up the regulatory body that monitor the price of goods and services in the country.. every human being is greedy to an extent and if given the opportunity would sell the world and that's the reason we have law and other enforcement agencies... time for every reasonable human to stop responding to your kind

PandoraObi:
That is for you, your family members and your generation to come unless God is dead.

Your god is certainly dead. You can't serve a living God and blame Nigerians for inflation.

...And my myopic brain has assumed that Obi will fix all these problems..., Abi? Yes of course

Is not your messiah ... If he can keep changing political parties like clothes even though he said to APGA leadership that he will never leave the party,
He can also change his promises if he becomes president.

Nigerian Constitution has so many lacuna that prompted carpet crossing to be easy. If the issue is being addressed, then we can vote and talk on political ideology and affiliation. Unfortunately we have the integrity of men to use as prism to vote. Aside integrity factors like Age, credibility and mental health plays a crucial role. Whoever your candidate is, and he has delinquency in any of the above, such should be ignored for humanity sake. Everything should not be just beneficial to you, think others.

PS: Next time try and contribute without tantrums.

Can you comfortably pray that the character of the candidate you're rooting for be found among your loins? If yes, cheers your belief system is strong.

If you believe in him 8yrs ago, Buhari should not be the reason you don't believe in him again.

He trusted buhari like he did for many others, but he betrayed him just like his brother from Southwest did. Does that change who Tinubu was?

He's still the same person and we will not forsake him for trusting people that betrade him as he'll still trust some other people.

Life is a risk and he's dealing with his gamble well at the moment.

This is the greatest mistake of his political career. Maybe he thought that the "Presidency" will rule for just one term and step down, forgetting that power intoxicates. Sequel to what His Excellency Jonathan Ebele Goodluck said "power makes politicians blind". I believe this was the part that Tinubu didn't periscope in the character of Buhari that he may renege in any agreement they had hitherto as he will be blind to agreements and rules of engagement.

If Tinubu had contested eight years ago, who in the South won't vote for him? Give it to him, he is pragmatic and energetic then with sound mind cum reasoning, but presently he is in the shadows of his yester glories. This scares shit out of every Nigerian that knew him because the trust they had in the then Buhari has been climatised with smiling and suffering, ineptitude, nepotism, aberration of rule of law and many high hydra ills in the society; We do not want to try that part again. The wanton killings of the citizens going on unabated from North to East, now West is on the beat.

The emergency of Buhari is the undoing of Tinubu's presidential aspirations. He helped them to lure us into misery, so he should enjoy the backlash from it. I wish him well in his quest, but certainly my vote can't be for him. Buhari has taught us a lesson through hardship, because he was not in charge due to age and health issues; a situation akin to Tinubu.

Why am I seeing threads that lack focus today on nairaland. Wetin happen?

This OP said Tinubu allowed Buhari to be President. A gross insult to democracy!

OP, have you ever heard these words "party primary election", "general election", "polling booth"?

Tinubu does not own the processes defined by those words.

No one is 100% perfect, so pray for the good side of it as its more than the bad side.

I believe you are vast with what democracy is all about. Equally you're not a novice in the political terrain of this country.

Now, prior to this electioneering after various parties have projected their presidential candidate, a famous aphorism was all over the media "STRUCTURE". An "Insignificant candidate" was taunted of not having any political structure, yet he wants to be president. Another recurring statement is this "Elections are not won on social media". All these was targeted towards a particular candidate. Is this not the truth?

To your postulation that it is gross of me to say Tinubu made Buhari the president is quite unbelievable of you to deny. Prior to 2008, the Presidency had contested elections how many times and failed? He went for a merger with Tinubu's party; A man with structure that stretches over South-West down to South-South even to Eastern region (though microscopic), together with his strong fangs on the media. This is what wins election then in Nigeria. Tinubu use this effectively to project Buhari even with his personl resources on election day (Boullion van at Bourdillon) The merger of Tinubu and Buhari aided his emergency as president.

Bring it down to democracy. Democracy strives more on party representatives. If the kangaroos primary election that was held last year in APC should be a prism to analyse. You will believe with me that Tinubu had all it takes to win the primaries of APC in the year 2014, if he had not step down and supported Buhari.

Nigeria democracy does not make room for Independent candidates, if not the worst of leaders we keep recycling won't be obtained. Now, how did Tinubu not helped Buhari to become president with the aforementioned?

Very good and thought-provoking response. Your topic is a poor spin for the message you communicate. Rebrand it to say something fitting, example - Tinubu/Buhari relationship: use of grassroot structure to deliver victory at polls. Or something along that anchors your banner to the message. Thanks bro!
