Factcheck0001:
u are actually a stupid person
U don't even know who he is whether he's abroad or a multimillionaire but simply because he's not supporting your fraud then his family's are suffering

U are dumb
That insult is actually meant for you. Besides, I don't even respond to people who are eager to throw insult on Facebook Less forum because in real life, you may not even try it.
Is there any multi-millionair as you claim in this country, that his/her family members are not being affected? What's your definition of family members?
Or you are trying to be dumb?

It is only a shallow minded person that will narrow my post to Tinibu and peter Obi sinero.
Nigeria is a big country with too many intelligent people. We are blessed. We have all it takes.
The poverty level is too high compared to as before.

When it comes to electing a leader, we are supposed to collectively choose a person with more positive results, good approach, intelligent, strong, bold without international scandal and if he goes there and fail us, we stand up in one voice again and vote him out, not minding religion and tribe.

Once our leaders discovered we are intelligent and knows what we wants as a nation, they will no longer victimize us. Every leader will eventually begin to act right.

We the masses are the very problem of this country. We support every wrong and we try to adapt to every hardship and difficult situations at the expense of each other.

We don't collectively ask for explanation for anything, we just adjust and fit in.
Tribalism and religion wouldn't let us think and behave right.

Why is this annoying me?
This is because, we individually make our separate choices base on whatsoever that motivated us, but when it's time for the consequence, we all faced it together.

Isn't it obvious that we are supposed to be united and collectively be in one voice?
The same way an Hausa man is finding it difficult, is the same with a youruba man.

We are ignorant. And that's why we are bigots and subject to divide and rule. If we weren't ignorant, we'd be like the Chinese who don't care if the cat were black or white so long as it caught mice.

Good thing is this suffering is like rain that falls on everyone's head, so when we all get wet we'd all try to alleviate it together or just suffer more until we learn to elect competence regardless of tribe or religion or gender.
The Chinese are a monolithic and dominant ethnic group (Han Chinese) wherever they are - Mainland China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and in Malaysia where they dominate the major sectors of the economy. In Malaysia, they consider themselves first before ethnic Malays. The Malays in turn dominate politics and use the political power to crave benefits for themselves. The Chinese Malaysian saving grace is that they have nearby Singapore (Chinese-dominated) to store their wealth, ease of becoming a permanent resident/naturalised citizen and as Mainland China grew economically, they had a big brother to protect them and participate in a much bigger economy. Chinese in Indonesia suffered from ethnic riots there, so those in Thailand and Malaysia learnt their lessons.

Humans are tribal. Just that, in my opinion, others developed their lands/countries alongside their tribalism.

I'm sure what's he's trying to say is, Despite all, they collectively develope their countries. They can't have bad leadership for many years and they will all keep quiet.

You people are just undemocratic elements and sore losers. Folks are allowed to vote for their candidate off choice. Someone who understands the tenets of democracy won't be ranting as you and OP are.
keep spitting

r?

I can vividly remember during the last election, with one of my friend, we almost lost our friendship because of his support to this present government.
You didn't have a friendship.

I myself have Obidients and President Tinubu supporters as childhood friends, we never hid our allegiances and had robust discussions.

Not once did it stop us visiting or helping each other then or now.

There's no society that's developed today that was ethnically and racially heterogeneous at the time of its development. Other cultural traits contribute to development, but without a dominant ethnic/racial group, it's very very difficult to achieve.

There should have been a change of government for us to experience another phase. How can we be crying inside a fring pan, then some of you collective decided to vote us (move us further) to fire?
Are you aware of the fact that all of the major candidates agreed that subsidy and defense of the naira had to go? So I just asked you, how would your candidate have been able to continue funding subsidy when Buhari was already printing money to pay subsidy?
Please let us refrain from arguing blindly like people that are not educated
