When GEJ wanted to remove this, u all fought him. He also introduced the card reader. Man was really interested in fixing many shits. Una bring Buhari, dragged the country backward.

YinkaOlusesi16:
Anything una call-am, that emefewere should suffer what Nigerians suffer during the new naira note crisis. Many lives have been lost because of his evil agenda.

Which is his evil agender? Do u ever in ur imagination think that a CBN governor could act that way without the approval of the president?
There is no way he could have done that if Buhari didn't tell him to. Abeg

muykem:
Good one from Lagos state. We should encourage our locally made products. Nobody hate Igbo. What we are saying is that, determine who rules Anambra, Eungu, Abia, imo and Ebonyi. Let us determine who rules Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun and Osun so there's no hatred at all.

What u are simply saying is that we should pass a law to stop non indigenes from voting in state elections. I think that is the best way becus how do u tell people who to vote and not to vote for?
Omo, how some blacks reason dey shock me. The only way out of this is simply tell Nigeria federal govt to enact a law to forbid non indigines from voting in states election aside their own state.
This to me is the best. Becus as long as non indegines are allowed to cast votes in another state, how exactly do u want to tell them, dont vote for A o, vote for B o? Does it sound logically okay?
The only reason Lagos was a case was becus Lagos is the center of commerce for Nigeria just like we have in every country. There is always a major city of commerce and people dont really care much about tribe there.
To fix issues like this: Nigeria has two options:
One, go fully into regional based system so that every region elects their own indegines only in local elections and only indegines can vote in such elections.
Also, regions should manage their resources, rivers, railway, police, economy, airspace with some restrictions, etc.

The second option is to completely ban non indigenes from voting in any state aside Federal elective posts. This second option wont fly becus the way Nigeria is structured has made Lagos mainly attractive to Nigerians as the commercial center.
The first option is the best. And I really encourage Yorubas to push for this. This will make them have complete control of their lagos. This way too, other regions can have control of their own regions and their resources.

If we fail to do this, it wont work and this can cause crises. Honestly, it can.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
So what difference will it make apologizing? Some people just like making unnecessary noise. Almost 95% of Nigerians were against the removal of the subsidy in 2012 simply because we did not trust the government of the day.

How u guys sit down and make up statistics beat my imagination.
So, right now, 95% of Nigerians now support it?

Parachoko:
Lol

If you no go work, you won't get paid

This policy will be strictly enforce in the Public and Private Sector.

Absolute Majority Of Nigerians are in support of Asiwaju on this issue

Joe is working for Pandora

So, why did they occupy Nigeria when GEJ wanted to do same?
They are scared of what they did to GEJ from happening to them, right?
Bunch of liars!

NOETHNICITY:
Are the CoS, ministers, SGF and many others elected? Even your almighty America during trumps time had his daughter perform the role of unofficial Secretary of State many times, and his daughters husband was more power than the nation’s security of state in that very government.
So like that man said, the president can chose to invite and uninvite anyone to his meetings

Nope, that AMerica did it doesnt make it right. No wonder he was voted out. Presidency is not a family business. The constitution made provision for Ministers who are to be elected by the president and screened by the national assembly. The wife of the president is not screened or nominated and not in the constitution.
Make we no dey copy mumu things.
There are many beautiful side of AMerica to copy such as their true federalism, science, true independence of the arms of govt, good roads, etc. No be only gay, same sex, feminism and mumu things Trump did that we should copy.
As usual, Nigerians dont copy good things

Nahunger:
Omo what a country, of what relevance is it if she was in the meeting or not, The president can invite and uninvite anyone to a meeting, especially his wife the first lady....

Opposition is not stupidity or foolishness abeg you guys are too daft

She is not an elected official. It is not a family meeting! It is of big importance so as to avoid the president becoming a family affairs.
We know how to abuse power in Africa.

HacheNoire:
Class of Dangote?

Few minutes, let me verify

Is he before or after Dangote?

He is a billionaire and that is what they are called and they are on same class. If they call billionaires now, all of them who are billionaires would come out.
A man who could build such empire tried.

senatordave1:
What is the guarantee that obi will perform and tinubu wont

Immediately we take away power from those ruling class, we have solved lot of our political problems. The current system simply means, loot enough money, use the money to buy power back. This doesnt fix anything. But if we had sent a strong message by pushing away the strong ruling class, even Obi would be scared to mess up because he knows that he would be thrown out by the same people who elected him.

If we must get Nigeria to work, we must fix our electoral system so that those manual collation of results would stop, people wont need to bribe their ways to power, na that time u go see magic.
Europe got fixed becus the people of Europe dont take nonsense from their ruling class and the ruling class knows that a mess up, they would be sent out of office. The true democracy starts when the policians start to be scared of the masses.

HacheNoire:
Exactly!

It’s a lost course!

Peter should channel the energy and funds into other sectors like Agriculture.

Oil palm plantation and fish farming are highly profitable ventures he can go into.

Peter Obi is a billionaire with proper track records. He is in class of Dangote them. Forget politics, baba has run successful outfits

LeoDeKing:
Ex Governor Wike will be the minister of defence. I like the way he dealt with illiterates and miscreants in Rivers State.

I like Ibori.

I also like Makinde.

I expect children of hate, anger, frustration and perdition to hate them.

My brother, u like politicians o, u dont like them o, it doesnt stop u from hearing the sound of generator sets in Nigeria every nights.

Like I always say, the average black man cares and worships his slave masters more than his own life.
I do laugh when people say that they are peppering Obi supporters, but na all of us dey suffer the fuel matter.
The point is if u are not among the political elites, u arent among the security staff elites, u arent super rich with some level of authority, u are simply a sufferhead.
I have seen on my fb lots of people who were doing pepper body, they are now lamenting just the way Obi supporters were lamenting.
These politicians no send u. Their kids are living ur dream life

Some of us just wanted a political system where anyone no mattter ur lack of connection can win. A politcal system that elections are purely out of manual collations and manipulations. Once we get that, we can begin to have a Nigeria with stable electricity at least.

I remember one guy who fought me so hard on social media. He is now lamenting heavily, I replied one of his posts on fb and reminded him that, u see, I am a software developer and I work for clients abroad from here, I earn in $$, I have full solar running in my flat, I dont use fuel at home, I only need fuel for my car and I work from home. This means that I simply drive out only when I want to have fun, chill and see em ladies. I said, unlike u, u are now suffering the fuel matter, the heat, the queue, etc.
At the end, I said, u see why some of us wanted a Nigeria where elections are won purely based on proper electoral system, not this one they were using pen and biro to add and subtract numbers, INEC staff intentionally not coming to their locations on time, results collated manually around mid night
No, we want an electoral system purely based electronical means where we can see live and instantly, a direct candidate participation to elimiate dirty political primaries, etc. If Nigeria works where we all have electricity without solar or generator, we all go enjoy am.
He lamented of long fuel queue. I said this is how every negative policies affects the common man, if u have no strong resources or u earn poorly in naira, u are finished. He became humble.
So, no matter who u mock, I hope u are among the ruling class, or ruling elites or very rich. Make e no be sey na small small change u dey see o

KingAzubuike:
Buhari is not really loved hut he's one of those politicians wey no too chop money like that. Even from his military era. He lives a very average lifestyle.

Him no chop but enabled people to chop. I learnt of one of his relatives who is now super rich and young

9jatriot:
Uzor Kalu - Ibo Man
Femi Adeshina - Yoruba Man

Meanwhile if you use nairaland to judge you would think that either tribe will be on the other's throat when they see each other.

Looks like tribalism is only played by those with poor mentality or when politicians need to get the upper hand otherwise everything else is interest.

It is used by politicians to control and divide the masses. Works well around the world.
It was why Europeans carefully planned their borders along ethnic lines to avoid issues like this which usually hinders national growth.
Imagine English people and French people in one country under one unitary rule. They will never make progress becus they will always be fighting.
This is one sense the africans have refused to get. Replan ur borders according to ur tribal lines and form more of a willfully merger than whhat the Europeans did back then for the continent.
But the politicians here wont do it becus they use that as a leverage over the people.

Stockholm syndrome is a terrible disease.

My brother, na follow come for blacks o. we no be humans at all. One sense we no get.
This man them supposed to chase out of his village. I cant imagine the number of Nigerians who were kidnapped, raped, killed under his tenure. And we witnessed highest level of Nigerians running out of the country.

Nazgul:
This is one of the reasons why most marriages collapse before they even begin.

Even those who married late still collapse. Baba, this thing no get format!

Kobojunkie:
1. There is no double standard. There is just you whining that you are unable to force any woman out there to agree with you. Look, marriage is and has always been an agreement between a man and a woman. So, if what you want is a woman who will marry you as a house husband, then go out there and look for just that kind of woman and stop whining about how it doesn't all fit you.

There are men out there who are househusbands to their wives. So, connect with them and learn from them how to find yourself a woman like that. Simple!

That is why we are saying, we wont also marry women who wish to come in, to claim what we hustled to build all in the name of she made impact in my life. How? Didnt I also make impact in her life?
There is nothing to whine about.
That law is for the weak. Any ways, thank goodness for many ways to own one's property shaaa
We are for equal rights. Women must work and contribute financially to share from the gain

Kobojunkie:
Why not focus all your energy instead on finding yourself a woman who will agree to your terms rather than worrying about the many others who will not agree to your terms? Are you trying to force a woman into marrying you on your own terms or what?

Can u now see the double standard? The so called law was made, but ur gender will never want to marry a man who has no source of income while she has a source of income.
They all want to marry a man who is financially secured. Then contribute by so called impact in his life and claim property?
I can never stop my wife from working or running business. She is free to buy whatever she wishes to buy in her name or joint name if we both jointly buy it. As long as she makes her contributions financially running the home too. No wahala

wirinet:
We don't have to wait for women to accept it, the English common law and the courts have already accepted it. If the man takes hus wife to court and can prove he has made significant contributions to the marriage, the court will rule they share the properties in accordance to their contributions.

In this same country where ladies dont even want to marry a man who earns 30k as salary, where on earth will u find a Nigerian lady who wants to marry a man who does nothing or brings very unreliable source of income for marriage? Whereeeeeeeee?

Kobojunkie:
Why do you first have to wait for that to happen when it is the Law?

Becus women arent playing such!
How many of the ladies u know agress to marry a man who stays at home or does very little stuff financially?

wirinet:
If she is the one working, then you can make your own contributions by cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children, helping with their homework and serving her well in the other room. Then you will be entitled to "inherit her sweat" when you decide to go your separate ways.

Surely, now u are talking!

We have to wait until when women would accept this.
For now, no one shares a dime from what they didnt contribute to.
We talk as if men dont also contrubute in raising kids
A lot of homes have house helps who do cleaning and cooking!
The woman must contribute money to any property she claims for

Kobojunkie:
If a wife does nothing— brings no value to your life and existence— why marry in the first place? Go marry your fellow men abeg!

But I will also add value to her life while she works na

Kobojunkie:
Na the eejit wey go marry your kain me go dey wonder about.

Oh, so it is wrong for me to do nothing and probably stay at home and raise kids or run one business that I keep failing in while my wife works her ass out, then, I divorce her after 10 years and claim partnership of her sweat, right?

Kobojunkie:
Don't bother marrying at all since everything you make during the marriage is considered part and parcel of the Marriage — a business Partnership.

i will marry, she can go and work, let me do nothing then and inherit her sweat!

Kobojunkie:
...read

That is pure rubbish. I would rather hire a house help which is cheaper and ensure that my wife has no claim to my properties except she contributed to it.
The few properties i have bought now, I know how hard it was to get them. No body can black mail me. Many ladies in Nigeria, u even give them capital to start up business, they will ruine it. Rubbish

FreeStuffsNG:
This is a revolutionary judgement . It no longer matters any more whose name is on the original property titles. The properties of the man is jointly owned by him and his wife even if it's paid for by the man.

It cant work.
So, I worked hard, gather properties, my wife decides to cheat or quit marriage and claim ownership of the said property that I worked for?
Rubbish!
She should claim such ownership if she also contributed to the purchase of such property

kettykings:
should ivm spread their assembly plants to areas of high patronage and build service points in other areas, with the subsidy removal, they should think electric cars too

which area of high patronage?
The cars u buy from Europe, how many of them do u have their plans in Nigeria?
baba, he can and should remain where he is and keep producing. He already supply cars to other countries.

Zionmdde:
The rain will still stop sha

But today their is no winner and no loser amongst the masses. Because no matter who u support, everybody will be on the same shoes. Just as everybody queued up for fuel for over 3months, everybody will still carry the positives and negatives on whichever government rules this country.

As long as you are not a politician, you ve won nothing, u are just gloating over another man's pocket until the Change impacts ur personal life positively.

Buhari fought corruption standstill, buhari recovered billions of naira and bla bla bla bla. Yet for the common man, bail is not still free, police are still collecting bribes, nothing changed. We sure have a warped mentality in this country

This is what I always say. I always laugh how some people who even sleep under serious heat due to lack of electricity laugh at others becus their choice candidate won election.
Normally, blacks mumu shaa

Zico5:
These people are just wasting their time. By this time tomorrow, some of u will know Tinubu is already ur president. The earlier you guys begin to campaign for 2027 the better. Tinubu paid his prize to be the president and anyone that want to do same should start as earlier as possible. No one will throw presidency to anyone just like that, u must work for it. I just beg some of u to stay clear of eagle square tomorrow if u have no business to be there. Nigeria is bigger than anyone. May Nigeria succeed.

But Nigeria has not succeeded after 60 years and still wont succeed
Like this now, na my solar for flat I dey use. No electricity in a state capital after 60 years of so called presidency

sonature1:
Nigerians rarely travel to the UK without papers because we don't even consider the UK a typical place for hustling. Most Nigerians move to the UK through education and job routes.

If you want to see where Nigerians overstay their visas, go to the US. The glory and opportunities of that country wouldn't even let you return to your shithole

what of all these Americans who are moving out of America and live in Ghana for instance? At least, I work for a US company that helps African Americans tour and I see these people leaving!
Infact, I would quote this thread to upload one video I did recently of two sisters who are Americans and relocated to Ghana and are so happy. There lots of them so far for the past two years I have been working for this company. What could make people leave the so called opportunities of their home land to live in a shithole as foriegner?

lhordspy:
I will pretend i didnt see the 'mumu' word you used. I dont reply folks here because of the insultive, derogatory words they rely on when they are clueless as to the counter response to give. But let me enlighten you a bit.

In response to your first paragraph. There was LP before Obi, infact Mimiko of Ondo state won the governorship election TWICE, without any structure or bulky finance, under your presumably 'Unknown' party when Obi was probably still in APGA.

In response to your second paragraph. Debate is not and never compulsory. It is a choice. It is not written anywhere in the law that you must debate. One can choose to abstain. You saying it affects the outcome of the election is not only ridiculous but laughable.

And as for the transmission of results. If LP agents at the polling unit, at the ward collation centre, down to the LGA collation centre and again the state Collation centre didnt oppose to the result collated at that level, infact they signed the result sheet at that level without raising any objective except the Lagos LP state agent who raised objective at the state collation centre. The rest were satisfied with the emanating results. So, Why are their national officials opposing the one at the National collation centre. National collation centre dont make results, they only announce results from the aforementioned collation centres; the polling unit, Ward, LGA,State ( respectively). So you guys roping the lose on electronic transmission is just a lame excuse.

Thirdly, your last paragraph, the 6million vote he pulled was as a result of the ethnic sentiment of his people from southeast, which i suspect you are also one of them, in conjunction with the religious colouration and partitioning he applied to his campaign. Without the religion sentimenr, Obi wont have 2million votes. Infact he would have struggled to make 100votes outside his base; SE.

Shalom.

U are the most hilarious human on earth.
We should be talking about what can enhance the credibility of election in Nigeria in 21 centuary and u are talking something else.
All serious countries now do presidential and even regional debates. It is not about sentiment, it is about deliberately doing what is proper to enhance the credibility of naija election.
LP was never a force in naija presidential election. I dont like people who lie to them selves. Has LP ever come third before in presidential election or pulled such figure before?
He did this under few months, he was a wave and still a wave.
U are decieveing ur self. He even pulled more votes in Edo state which is not a south eastern state. He was loved by many people from east, south south and north central. I couldnt count how many people from Kongi, Benue, Akwa Ibom, who were over interested in him!

LP has no agents in many polling units. And we are talking aboiut doing what is right!
Serious countries are transmitting results electronically and instantly which enhances the credibility of elections. Even in ur heart u know that this is fact. So, why are u lying to ur self?
Arent we supposed to do away with manual collation of results at this stage of our democracy?

Why should we still be having electoral results with pen and some sheets with canceled figures and rewritten figures?
If u have a company, wont u like to deploy means to help to run ur company in a way to avoid others cheating u?

How u simply rush to say anyone who supports Obi is from south east. My godnesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, what type of humans are on this forum?

Tsunami of IPOB.

This is just mere embellishment. It is very common in yoruba land. It is some kinda false glorification, adornment, or adorement given to a loser, so as to prevent them from crying or falling into further depression, a consequence of their woeful performance.

A 'Tsunami' that failed to have 25% in 5 out of 6 Southwestern states.
- Couldnt even make 10% in the entire NorthEastern States, his party wasnt even included in the presidential result sheet from the region.
- Was nowhere to be found in NorthWest.
- Non existent in Kogi, Niger, Kwara in Northcentral.

The only tsunami he caused was the division of Muslims and Christians.
What a Tsunami !

Mumu talk. For a person who brought a party not known to become a third force under few months to an election is a strong deal. And APC attested to it. He brought a different dynamics to the election. U are just been unreasonable.

And elections were rigged! People were intimidated and results forged. In 21 century, Nigerians still debbating if to grant presidential debate, if results should be transmittted electronically. These are factors that affect election credibility.

INEC officials deliberately arriving late to frustarte voters, results spending days to be collated, these are all factors and with all of these factors, he pulled 6 million votes within such a short period of time. Yes, he is a wave.

Maize247:
So other states results are not important, why not just conduct election in only FCT. Mumu talk

Those who made the law never knew it would be like this! U see, laws sometimes can be unreasonable. This matter strong. The constitution maybe amended to fix it but for now, it holds Tinubu strongly
