BluntCrazeMan:Sir, I taya for dia mata. Nigerians still love dictatorship and traditional style. They still fantasize about it, it's like military hangover gave us Stockholm syndrome so the few who reason are not listened to because we don't even know what we want. That's why our politics and campaign lack principles or values or ideas to make it interesting. APC will never attend debates for instance, it has worked for them so far. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

BluntCrazeMan:I'd go for Peter based on the last campaign because one of the things I observed was not the technicalities, it was someone who could inspire. This was someone who could potentially influence the mass thinking of Nigerians because we have normalized bad behaviour to the extent that we slave for it. Those little things like carrying his bag, dressing in 1 color (Oshiomole and Osinbajo have tried this method too) and other minor things he displayed in his character have a big influence on how PEOPLE behave. Maybe this is campaign in poetry again but we needed that sort of change. For me, they are all the same but you can see different things in them. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Princewell2012:He wasn't specific.. For instance; “from Consumption to Production” he kept repeating it to the extent Rheinno started asking him that he was the chief importer in Nigeria, so where is the production.?? Eniola Badmus even recently joked with it.. Since the import values in 2023 had gone down drastically then Tinubu has successfully taken us from consumption to production.. If Peter-Obi was specific in his campaign points, these people couldn't have twisted his points, or misunderstand it, or even joke with it.. |

Princewell2012:It was only after Tinubu did whatever was on his mind and credited his moves to Peter-Obi and Atiku, that was when these two men came out to say that what Tinubu did was not exactly what they actually campaigned to do.. But in the actual sense, they just didn't campaign deeper about subsidy. They just did “quick mentioning” of what they would do to subsidy. |

You're just giving us philosophy and theory. Guy see, any politician who can give Nigerians 24 hours electricity and affordable petrol with guaranteed security has automatically triggered a 24 hour economy in this country without efforts. I've toured 31 states of this country and I can tell you that Nigerians are ready to hustle at anytime. So any government that can achieve just that has the automatic support of majority of the Nigerian masses, bar religion and tribe. If you people want us to get serious with ourselves, I'm ready to spend a week on this thread. Let's seriously address these issues. No be to come blow grammar with textbook eloquence.

trium:You have succinctly captured average Nigerians. Their case is liken to the Israelites in the hands of their paymasters, many of them never wanted to be liberated from their paymasters as they were telling Moses they want to go back to Egypt to go and continue eating cucumber, as they have forgotten the Kind of suffering the Egyptians heaped on them and all they could remember is cucumber and not suffering.

BluntCrazeMan:I think you were not too listening to Peter Obi. He umpteenth times talked about how to move from consumption to production and he was citing the volume of arable land we have in Nigeria and how we can utilise them for production. He always use northern lands as example and specifically Niger State. Last year he was in Niger State and the governor thanked him for exposing the comparative advantage his state has. Do you know because of that, the governor have tapped into it and exploring the agricultural base of the state on its vast land. If not of the bandits, the state would by now be churning out farm produce to the nation and exporting same. His consumption to production was anchored on aggressive farm production and opening up the vast land in the north. The man explained so many things on how to move from consumption to production, may be you were not listening to him then. It was even his campaign that was more robust and not the theatrics kind of campaigns that we see before. His campaign changed so many styles politicians always do before. It was only APC and Tinubu that was throwing shades and refused to engage the citizens on what they we do, it was all through political gyrations and shades throwing by APC and Tinubu. Obi was more moderate and only reply few shades thrown at him and same thing with Atiku. APC and Tinubu and Shettima went on attacks from the beginning to the end. A supposed ruling party that suppose to campaign with their results were seen been on attack through out the campaign period, instead of the oppositions to be on the attacking side, they were the ones on the attack while the oppositions were on the defence. 1 Like 1 Share |

BoldBrainz:I don't think so. There is nothing which I wrote up there that is too difficult to do. So, you cannot say that it is philosophy and theory.. They are all easy practicable and applicable solutions. Not academic solutions. Not Abstract solutions. Guy see, any politician who can give Nigerians 24 hours electricity and affordable petrol with guaranteed security has automatically triggered a 24 hour economy in this country without efforts.I guess you know what is called "Cause and Effects”.?? If you stop the cause of something, the thing will definitely fizzle out. Do you think that the present Nigeria cannot provide 24-hrs Electricity to itself and neighbouring countries.? Do you think we don't have enough petrol in the system.?? Or you think the security in Nigeria is too hard to maintain and contain.?? Don't you KNOW that these are all leakages that are caused by the same leaders who are in charge of them.?? Why is it that ALL the neighbouring countries which are supplied electricity by Nigeria, they all have the proper systems with which to distribute their own electricity adequately, and they have the data of the distribution of electricity in-tact -- with their 24-hrs supply steadily in place, Yet the Nigeria that supplies the electricity to them don't even have the exact data of the amount of electricity which they supplied to these countries to start with.?? ((They keep saying that these countries are owing Nigeria billions of Naira of electricity that were supplied to them,, but they don't really know the exact amount each of the countries are owing, or the quantity of electricity each of these countries should be paying for.)) Why is it that Nigeria don't even know the exact amount of crude oil EXPORTED.?? Yet they keep giving out the amount of barrels of crude oil they produced.?? Then,, what amount of refined products are IMPORTED.? And how are they used by the final consumers.?? (Nobody had ever cared to collect this data). Which percentage of the imported petroleum products were put directly in vehicles, and then which percentage taken away in jerry-cans and smaller tankers.?? How much of these jerry-cans and tankers were used inside Nigeria? HOW MANY WERE RE-SOLD OUTSIDE NIGERIA.?? ((Having petrol in Nigeria is not the problem.. Data shows that there is supposed to be enough petrol in the system.. But there is no data that shows us exactly how much petrol is in the system, and how they were actually distributed and used.)) As for security.. You yourself can see for yourself that most of the AK-47s which were recovered from these criminals actually have service identification marks on them.. Meaning that the guns were ones used in the service of Nigeria, and was marked with an identification code. So, how did the guns get into the hands of criminals.? ((Yet the military spokesmen would always try to make us to believe that the guns that were used by these criminals were IMPORTED..)) And why are they not investigating to know how the guns got out of the use of service to Nigeria and got into the wrong hands.?? I've toured 31 states of this country and I can tell you that Nigerians are ready to hustle at anytime. So any government that can achieve just that has the automatic support of majority of the Nigerian masses, bar religion and tribe.Like I said earlier.. Putting good governance systems in place would drastically reduce all these impunity in government, lackadaisical attitudes of government workers, cutting corners at every single opportunity, and inputting fake figures while collecting data.. All these had affected us in many multifaceted ways, and nobody seems to even care about them, because they seem very little in our eyes.. ((Nigerians know what is good. Religion and Tribe is not really going to stop the true vision of Nigerians if they see the person who would truly save Nigeria.. Only 25% of Registered Voters Voted, and you think it is good statistics.?? It means that the 70%+plus who didn't vote found none of the contestants worthy. Because none of the campaigns of the contestants moved them enough for them to choose any of them, and be convinced enough to come out and vote for them.)) If you people want us to get serious with ourselves, I'm ready to spend a week on this thread. Let's seriously address these issues.The floor is open. You can start by going back to the original post, and then reading the whole of the original post all over again, (but much slower this time),, and then bring out all those points which you think that are faulty.. Let's discuss it and find out if there are better ways to put them.. And for those ones you think that are big grammar, just point them out too.. Let's find simpler languages for them. No be to come blow grammar with textbook eloquence.I still maintain that the languages I used in the write-up are simple languages. But if you insist, I have suggested that you point those big grammar out.. I will find simpler languages for such big grammar. Naija don sink pass that level!Data had shown that even as at today, Nigeria still have enough resources to keep it very well afloat.. (Well, I cannot swear that the data is 100% correct, being that Nigerians tell lots of lies whenever it comes to gathering data)... Even at that, the main problem with Nigeria is the unwarranted wastage of these resources, and none of the wastages are recorded. Therefore, we don't even know the amount of our resources that were wasted, and the amount that entered into the hands of other people. THESE ARE THE THINGS I AM WISHING THAT OUR ASPIRING LEADERS SHOULD BE CAMPAIGNING WITH... THEY SHOULD BE CAMPAIGNING ABOUT “HOW TO TIGHTEN UP THE SYSTEMS SO THAT THESE LEAKAGES AND WASTAGES SHOULD BE MINIMIZED”... |

IfnobeGod20:I LISTENED VERY WELL TO A LOT OF HIS VIDEOS TOO.. AND I UNDERSTOOD HIM VERY WELL IN HIS VIDEOS.. THAT'S FOR ME.. BUT YOU SEE,, MANY PEOPLE WHO LISTENED TO HIM DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HIM WELL ENOUGH. AND THAT WAS BECAUSE -- HE TARGETED THE “INTELLIGENT” AUDIENCE. HE REALLY NEEDS TO BREAK HIS CAMPAIGN-POINTS DOWN VERY WELL. SO THAT THE AVERAGE AND THE “UNINTELLIGENT” AUDIENCE WOULD ALSO HEAR HIM AND UNDERSTAND HIM VERY WELL TOO.. SO THAT IF YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE VOTING FOR HIM, YOU SAY THE EXACT REASON. AND NOT BECAUSE OF “THEM SAY, THEM SAY, THEM SHARE MONEY”. It was even his campaign that was more robust and not the theatrics kind of campaigns that we see before. His campaign changed so many styles politicians always do before. It was only APC and Tinubu that was throwing shades and refused to engage the citizens on what they we do, it was all through political gyrations and shades throwing by APC and Tinubu. Obi was more moderate and only reply few shades thrown at him and same thing with Atiku.They themselves,, they know that things have changed totally this time around. They can buy all the crowds they like in their campaigns, but they cannot buy the Love of the people. They better not apply such gimmicks of throwing shades again. Someone like Festus-Keyamo, he really surprised me. He entered office and faced his work squarely. He can actually come out and campaign about what he achieved, and I would say that he said the truth. But all the other persons are there throwing propaganda and lies around. 1 Like 1 Share |

BluntCrazeMan:In actually fact the four major presidential candidates had it as one of their policies to remove subsidy but me I would not buy the idea that all of them would use the same approach. OBJ was the first president to remove fuel subsidy in this country but he didn't remove it in sweep, he section the remove in two phases and he has started the first phase before the expiration of his second term and the second phase was to start during the regime of Yar'Adua but Yar'Adua came and cancelled the policy and that was the beginning of our set back on fuel subsidy. Again, Jonathan would have been the second president to remove subsidy but opposition led by the present president led was look like a coup and mobilised different groups against the fuel subsidy and it could not see the light of the day. If we had done it that time, the possibility that Nigeria would have gone out of the woods would have be high because the differential as at that time was not much. I think it was around ₦143-₦145. Tinubu never studied the prevailing situations on ground but myopically and anxiously removed it on the first day at his swearing in ceremony. Buhari that was there with all the pressures from all angles for him to remove it, he was resolute and he didn't for 8 years. As he has studied the pros and cons while Tinubu refused to study the prevailing situations before removing it. No doubt as I had said, all of the wish to remove but all may not use same approach as Tinubu. As each of them may decide to use different routes. Approach to governance is liken to four men that want to go to Sokoto. One may decide to go by foot. The second may decide to go by car. The third may decide to go by canoe while the last may say he will go by plane. The good news is that all of them will arrive in Sokoto but using different modes of transportation. 1 Like 1 Share |

IfnobeGod20:This is it. .. All of them want to bring about a better Nigeria. They REALLY want a better Nigeria. . But it was only Peter-Obi that HINTED that he would start by removing the huge amount of profit that is in politics. ((He didn't really say how exactly he would go about this though, and that was why he was misunderstood by the ordinary people.)).. He kept saying “Cutting Cost of Governance”.. And nobody knew where he was driving at. If the ordinary people knew exactly what Peter-Obi was actually saying at that point: ==>> that he will start from himself and then spread it to every single politician everywhere in Nigeria,, and make politics a non-profitable adventure, and an avenue for TRUE SERVICE to the people -- then the people wouldn't be voting-in anybody who would come out and be saying “You Chop, I Chop”... . “it is now our own turn to chop”.. I mean,, who does that.?? The “You Chop, I Chop” line is a very crazy campaign point naa..!! |

BluntCrazeMan:You're saying just the gospel truth and how it suppose to be but my fear is that we have a large voting population that are illiterates and another set that will never vote Base on common sense or superior arguments of a candidate but they we only vote base on their connection, religion, ethnic attachment and party line affiliation. We have a serious issue in this country and it will take the grace of God before we can overcome it. Our leaders have even compounded the whole thing, as they have institutionalised poverty that people cannot think beyond meeting their immediate need during electioneering period. They have also successfully captured some voting population with religiosity and ethnicity biases. These are serious issues in our nation. 1 Like 1 Share |
