Thank you for asking. I am doing just fine, and I am also consistently contributing my fair share to the $20 billion that Tinubu receives from the diaspora. I would also like to commend you for maintaining a civil discussion with me this morning.

You are not the only one contributing to the $20bn diaspora money.

Legacies, we have built it
Money making, is with no stress
Supporting/analysing real deal, we are not doing bad

In all, Alhamdulillahi

Reform INEC, hand power over to the people conduct election where the peoples vote count thats all.
Retiring corrupt politicians is simple,let the votes count first and see what will happen.

Baggiojephlini:
Jerry John Rawlings ruled Ghana for a total of 19 years, across two different regimes:

1. First Military Rule (1979) –
He first came to power as a military leader after a coup on June 4, 1979, but handed over to a civilian government on September 24, 1979 (about 3.5 months).


2. Second Military Rule (1981–1992) –
He staged another coup on December 31, 1981, and ruled as a military head of state until January 7, 1993 (11 years).


3. Democratic Rule (1993–2001) –
Rawlings was elected as a civilian president and served two terms, from January 7, 1993, to January 7, 2001 (8 years).



Total Time in Power:

3.5 months (1979) + 11 years (1981–1993) + 8 years (1993–2001) = approx. 19 years in total.

Walai:
By merely reforming INEC and electoral laws, via making automatic electronic transmission of any single vote cast compulsory under the constitution, 90% of the criminal structures will be dismantled and corrupt politicians retired.
FYI, politicians build structures for one reason, to manipulate electoral outcomes.

Are you going to reform electoral law alone or with the parliament? Isn't the parliament replete with those "old corrupt politicians" and their Stooges?

You guys don't even seem to understand anything about democracy and how it works.

Beyond the politics, what exactly can any president achieve in four years ? A president gets sworn in on 29th May of the election, he has to set up his government and he’s going to struggle with this for another 3-6 months. Even at that, he inherits a budget he knows absolutely nothing about from the former president and by law, he has to implement it.

Then there are various governors, senators, Reps and powerful political figures with diverse interests to deal with. By the end of the second year, political coalitions start springing up and politics has to take the center stage again. Boom, it’s four years and nothing much has changed.

It took Lee Kuan Yew 31 years to set Singapore on the path of sustained economic development. Paul Kagame has been president of Rwanda for the past 25 years and he’s still president because Rwanda is still not there yet.

So, anyone telling you all he needs to perform magic and turn a big, economically challenged, infrastructurally decayed, ethnically disunited and religiously divided Nigeria to Dubai in four years is a liar. It is the height of political desperation. It’s even more funny because this same guy had 8 years to turn a small, ethnically and religiously homogeneous Anambra around but left the state worse than he met it.

Although it's not easy to turn around a country totally within 4 years but with Obi , someone needs to lay a foundation. If complaints, faults and criticism is all u see, at what point or which year would the foundation of a better Nigeria be laid? Do u agree that it took Tinubu few hrs to ruin Nigeria? Or Buhari 4-8yr to cripple Nigeria but u don't believe that Obi can attempt to turn around Nigeria in 4yrs

Which parliament? Nigeria doesn't have a parliament currently. If AA party win presidency today, more than half of the house reps members and Senate will defect. What I'm saying is getting the parliament to sponsor an executive bill is the easiest any Presidency can do with the current Nigerian parliament structure.

Retiring old corrupt politicians how? By denying them their right to participate in politics or what? Do you people even listen to yourselves talk? Is it democracy or dictatorship you guys are talking about?

They never think before they talk. Is Obi himself a "young man" at 64 to then be viewed a gladiator to retire "old and corrupt politician"?

How long has he been in politics (decades in reality) for any sane Nigerian to delusionally view him as "fresh air"?

Someone who, by his own confession, stated he willingly accepted to work for Abacha who will forever be remembered as one of the worst leaders of Nigeria ever?

Talking of corruption, a Governor who, without seeking the approval ofAnambra folks , used the commonwealth of a state to invest in a beer-brewing venture, is what other than Corrupt?

Obi invested $12.24 million USD of Anambra's money in his private madness only for such to to be worth $5.38 million USD in 2022, half of original amount invested, yet Obi was lying the investment was worth $100 million USD.

Totally disgraceful.

https://www.thecable.ng/revealed-peter-obi-administrations-12-24m-investment-in-international-breweries-now-worth-5-38m/

REVEALED: Peter Obi administration’s $12.24m stake in International Breweries now worth $5.38m


“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.

“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”

Supporters of Obi think the rest of us are illiterates with amnesia that has created zero recollection of the past history of the agulu charlatan.

JASONjnr:
Peter Obi is just a mere politician with the usual lie and fake promise.

He's no different.

Claiming to serve only one term shows desperation and lack of focus or willingness for a better Nigeria but for selfish interest.

We can read in-between the lines tho..... Fake and lies.

If your medulla is functioning properly you would not type what you just did. If any politician is to be considered desperate, then it has to be the man who pulled up with fake bishops for endorsement.

Question ; is the North saying they cannot vote him out if he seeks reelection despite their population or they're afraid that Obi might perform so well that their own people might call for his reelection?

Batists should be pushing ADC to give Obi the ticket since y'all believe Atiku is a more formidable opponent to Tinubu.

Is there something I'm missing? Why are you guys esp the presidency pushing for Atiku instead?

Beremx:
the same desperation that made Tinubu to become a president by hook or by crook, announcing results by midnight when Nigerians were sleeping, disturbing Nigerians with his Emilokan slogan at every slightest provocation without any political manifesto. So who's the desperado between Tinubu and Peter Obi?
Abeg make I hear word!!

Am sure u are a first time voter in 2023 if u are even old enough to vote. There is no standard time for INEC to release results, they work round the clock as the results trickle in, most of the results at ward, local govt and state collation centers are actually done and announced deep in d night, the collation and announcement by INEC is merely summation of what's already announced at d ward level so even if INEC waited till 10am, it still will announce same results as sent to it at night from the state collation centers.
As for desperation, Tinubu has never decamped to an existing party to reap where he did not show, he built from the scratch, he subjected himself to primaries and refused any consensus arrangement, even when Buhari's inner men and d party chair were openly against him,he won d election even when cash was seized, fuel was seized to make Nigerians turn against him, yet he won. Unlike Obi who in desperation has become a nomadic herdsman from APGA where he swore he will rather die than leave, to PDP, to LP and now to ADC and he keeps running away from primaries. A man that did 8 yrs as gov of a small state Anambra and did not drastically improve d state wants us to believe he will do 4 yrs and change a far more complex Nigeria. A man who is unable to resolve d crises in his small Labour Party in two years is lying that he will fix Nigeria in 4 yrs. Obi is shamelessly desperate honestly

Smithkafors:
Nice one Peter Obi. Throw the ball into their court and allow them to play with it.

That’s how you keep make yourself more popular in unfamiliar tarain.

This area response is saying something ooo, that Obi is not welcoming the north. Simple.

CapitalBank:
Stop lying.

He didn’t do that. It was his right hand man he wanted , can’t remember the man’s name, who would have done a better job but they insisted on Obaino taking over from him . Because he does not believe using power wrongly, he decided to let them have their way.

Who are the them that he let have their way?? You're funny o

What an attempt at DISinformation and MISinformation just to smear a good product.

Pray,apart from Buhari,Which President ever takes 3-6 months to appoint ministers..

The fact That Buhari Was encumbered with cluelessness and the Pressure to accommodate all the Political jobbers,does not mean that an intellectual like Peter Obi will take 6 months to assembly his crew

Are you joking?

As I type this,half of Obi's Government officials have already been known by him.The other half will be from the Camp of his Northern Patners!!It takes 3 months after elections to be sworn in.

And....

If not for lack of Political will to do the right thing by the President and his appointees;Who told you it's difficult...within two (2) years.... to(1) bring down Food prices with a Robust Agricultural and security Policies...by also preventing food speculators from buying cheap,hoarding and selling months later at a costly rate.

...and if not for Corruption and Profligacy (where they are using N39billiion to just renovate a conference centre)Who told you it's difficult to(2) construct and reconstruct major Road arteries for farm produce and easy commuting in all the 774 LGAs....within two years?

What about the industrialisation policy involving large,small & medium scale enterprises(So we can start exporting and earning fx)

It is simply the revamping of already made legal and policy frameworks,resuscitation of relevant institutions and the use of requisite eggh3ads as Economic advisers and ministers(Does Tinubu even have the office of the Economic adviser

Who said it's difficult to add 15,000MW to our grid for uninterrupted power supply?

Who told you the bad eggs in our security agencies enabling banditry,terrorism,Herdsmen attacks and kidnapping won't be fished out in 3 months.You think Ribadu will be the NSA?

I can go on and on about what Obi can do in his first 100 days in office...

...but of course,all opposers of Peter Obi will rather that he does not defeat Tinubu even if they know he'll do things differently and do wonders in less than 4 years!

Did you just call Obi an intellectual? Wonders shall never end.

Walai:
Nope, a President that wants to work will simply dismantle the structures holding the country down, retire old corrupt politicians and then install his successor that will carry on with his agenda. Four years is more than enough to achieve it, Jerry Rawlings did it in Ghana remember

Obi installed Obiano to cover his corruption in office and also to hide the fact that he borrowed money rather than save but it did not take Obiano six months to come out to complain that he met no funds in the coffers of the state. Agenda come agend

Bro i am not a fan of big grammar or poetry ... yaradua ruled at a time most of us were Adults ... this one no be history or stories we heard.
i am talking what we " Saw "forget roman tiles or whatever, since Yaradua died no president as dare to do things that man tried ...its evidently clear this people dont want to do good by Nigerians

Its took Pa jakande just one term to make impact that leaves him in our mouths till date,. another classical evidence is Gov. Ambode one term that man transformed mainland, infact Ambode is why my local area is urban today ..
Stop hiding behind poetry, am not naive please make a point that nullifies 4yrs/one term is enough to make impact for any serious-minded leader

Yaradua took 2 years to position Nigeria, JFK, Abraham Lincoln of USA, Mandela of South Africa took 4years and below to create everlasting impacts in their countries economies. Sir, 4years of any visionary leader can do wonders. Leave sentiments

Oga, stop talking rubbish! Are these achievements! We're they even implemented by him or by GEJ? If it's to open mouth talk rubbish, do you know how many policies have been proposed by this government? Yar'Adua was able to benefit from the trickle down effect of the Obasanjo's government due to the debt forgiveness and excess crude funds. You cannot actually point to any tangible thing he did apart from pms reduction in price.

I have made this same point countless times. Nigerians, just like most human beings, are sycophantic in praise of the dead.

That is what has crafted the ridiculous myth of "performer President" around Yar Adua.

For those who know the fundamental problems that must be tackled, so that Nigeria can be truly great, it is obvious Year Adua took no interest in a single one of them let alone resolve conclusively.
