Hmm. My friend got a job in Google Nigeria late last year. Make them no pursue her abeg.

12,000 people losing their jobs, equals at least 24,000 dependants o. In Nigeria, the number of dependants would be higher.

pocohantas:
Tbh, I do not even mean it this way. These men all have/had their usefulness outside their money, but I have a soft spot for generous men. Sense of responsibility is a big deal for me. Not only in romantic relationships. So, I naturally tilt towards men (or people) who give me things EASILY. It is personal for me. I can’t cope with a man that doesn’t give.

Zeezenho:
Thank you sir for your lecture now tell us s about tinubu business how he came about such wealth

MimiSheWrote:
Lovely... The kind of husbands you would be proud to campaign along side as a wife.

Not that other baba wey go dey lick mic!

How mentally declined you got to be to lick a microphone in the name of testing it?

I honestly didnt believe that for a long time until I finally saw the clip.

Tinubu is an elderly man and I feel really uncomfortable talking about him in this manner. But the man should go and rest...
He is mentally and morally unfit to rule Nigeria.

kenedyx:
Obi is well adjusted.. relaxed and rooted in himself.
No gragra or any wasted behavior. Unlike some agbero cum politicians.

If we miss this man, we miss out.

Jennyclay:
Broke men are the most shameless people living on earth. I'm allergic to broke and wretched men. I hate broke men like Kilode!

How can you sue a lady because of ordinary 3k transport . Shame!! Big shame!!

I was jejely on my own, when one broke wretched man wanted to send me 5k, biko what can I do with 5k ? I just told him to hold his nonsense 5k to himself, then I blocked him immediately.

Broke men everywhere!

Ballzproblem2:
h Brighton have one of the best scouts in football that's why we (chelsea). stole their head of recruitment .



Anyways back to the topic , trossard now is the new deal to arsenal all of sudden mudryk is "overhyphed" because he turned their ass down for chelsea lol , claimed he is not EPL proven

Nazgul:
All these LAWMA workers that usually sweep major roads in the morning. Most of them would be begging you for money whenever they see you.

Most weekends when I'm jogging I use to tip them because they're mostly elderly women whom I believe have families to care for.

But I'm going to stop it. Cos they're obviously not tired of suffering, the same APC government that brought hardship to the economy and made the salaries they receive useless because of insane inflation is the same government they're campaigning for.

Honestly, sometimes I just don't understand how the average Nigerian thinks.

Malory:
They keep threatening and forcing workers and traders to do rally for them.

IfnobeGod20:
All what you mentioned are what I have mentioned in my previous comments, you're just trying hard to exert on your main point of no need to save by Obi. I have said it already that cutting cost of governance, curbing corruption and opening up and harnessing other aspect of economy is what Nigeria need and we've not been doing them. And that was why I said, Nigeria is rich and not poor. Please get the difference, you're using different word entirely. I made use of "rich" and "poor", which was the word you used earlier and not the word "broke" you just introduced. But do you know that one can be broke but still be rich? That's just the replica of what Nigeria is. We are a rich nation but broke in liquid cash because our abundant human and material resources are sources of wealth to the nation but yet untapped.

You claimed that Obi never did capital project but I want to put it to you that he did many capital projects. You can only say he didn't do gigantic capital projects because it was on record that he built over 12 overhead bridges, built 2 to 3 hospitals and renovated many owed by religious based, built many schools and renovated those owed by religious based, opened up a business hub that is a source of revenue generation to the state today, constructed over 800km of roads in his 8 years tenure, without consideration to many problems he faced within this 8 years tenure. Two impeachment in-between and you know what that mean, destabilization of his policies.

All these projects are verifiable ones and not the ones his successor did but directly to him and in all these he was able to save for the rainy day that his successor used to build airport. What else did Obiano built that was worthy of note if not that airport? If Obi had not left such huge saving, what do you think would happen? Obiano would go and borrow to finance the project but somebody saved what he used. I think we need to leave politics and appreciate good thing if we see one.

Before I commented on Tinubu's achievements you raised. Let me put to you that hope you know that the monthly federal accrue to Lagos state is almost double what goes to Anambra state. Go and verify and if you can not, I will avail you with state allocation during their periods.

Now to Tinubu issue. Please what was the multiple choice of income that Tinubu created during his tenure? I will be glad if you can list them here for the world to be abreast with them, so as not to speak in vacuum.

As at1999, Lagos was a productive state and never a poor state. Over 70% of companies, industries and markets in Lagos today are already in Lagos and they are potential income generating channels to the government, which the Lagos state government took advantage of by beginning to tax them and not because he created new companies or industries or open up new markets. And not only that, the two ports and the airport were also in existence before 1999. I think what I expected you people to be saying is, he tapped on the existing privileges on ground and not because he created anything that serves as sources of income to the state during his tenure.

You may also want to play smart by saying what of Eko Atlantic City and Lekki. These are projects that have been in existence since1940st and not new and these projects are now PPP projects, solely done by a south Africa company and FG.

Check the poster attached for the investment on the same area in 40st.

Lagos has been a work in progress for donkey years and Tinubu was wise enough to tap into it. Just as I always say, Lagos doesn't require a superman to superintend over it. It just require an ordinary man to do the extraordinary without stress because the resources are readily available, which no other state in the federation has. Or can you tell me any other state that has all the effects available in Lagos?

Let me now go to management of resources of Lagos for Lagosians. I want to ask you, if you will be truthful to your conscience. If all the money that have been accrued to Lagos government both in revenue, borrowings and allocation have found her ways into the hands of prudent manager of state resources, would Lagos have been in that state today? No doubt Lagos state should have been a country on its own but till date her development had not corresponded to the resources accrual to it. If Lagos is a mini Dubai today, it is not out of place.
It doesn't take Dubai 20 years to make a turnaround that our people now flooding their Emirate. Even Cairo, Cape Verde doesn't have the kind of resources Lagos have and it doesn't take them such lengthen years to change the province economy fortune.
So comparing Lagos and Anambra is the unwise thing to do by anybody. Anambra should be compare to her contemporaries that were created same year and compare them developmentally. See below states created same time with Anambra:

Abia State 27 August 1991
Adamawa State 27 August 1991
Delta State 27 August 1991
Edo State 27 August 1991
Enugu State 27 August 1991
Jigawa State 27 August 1991
Kebbi State 27 August 1991
Kogi State 27 August 1991
Osun State 27 August 1991
Taraba State 27 August 1991
Yobe State 27 August 1991
These are states to be compare with Anambra in all indices and not Lagos that are endowed with all resources that can make her to function even as a country.
Now, which of the above states can favourably compare with Anambra or can Osun not be compare with Lagos. At least two of Tinubu's proteges have managed the state. Were they able to turn Osun to Dubai than Obi turned Anambra to?
Tinubu is just privileged to govern a prosperous state and not because he has special wit. At least Peter Obi has shown his wit in both private and public life and he excel in private life as a billionaire and he equally tried in public service. Can we know and put side by side the private and public service of both and see who and who has excelled greatly.

pacespot:
Let's be sincere with ourselves, Sowore doesn't have a solid base that can deliver him a block vote like Peter Obi having South East and South South. You need to have a block vote from at least one or two of the 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria for you to have a chance of winning the presidency. Also Peter Obi presidency will open ways for people like Sowore to become president too. Because people believe that only political parties with "structures" like APC and PDP can produce the president, but if Obidients can burst that myth by making Obi president, then the future intending presidents will rather focus on selling themselves rather than looking for one big political party to join. Even APC and PDP will not want to mess with Nigerians again by presenting sick and old candidates like Tinubu and Atiku

Light78:
Why can't these people say what they would do and how to develop the country?


Why attacking Labor Party?

When Obi was not in labor party, what were they?


Now he joined labor party, why the sudden hate?


Who is now the bigot here?


Use wisdom, Nigerians


Because of all this hatred, I will vote Peter Obi.

pacespot:
Peter Obi never held any public office as a PDP, I don't know why all this reference to his time as a running mate to Atiku in 2019. His records are there as a governor under APGA if want to check. If Peter Obi had wanted to make a change in Nigeria, there was no way he could have done it by himself without running for public office under a major political party like PDP. When PDP rejected him because he was not ready to play a transactional politics in their last presidential primary, he quickly left the party. It was the Nigerian youths, now Obidients, that asked him to contest for presidency under another political party.

pacespot:
Peter Obi is not a Messiah, but Peter Obi candidacy is a clear diversion from the current leadership bedeviling Nigerians, and also an emphatic statement for the youth to challenge the leaders of this country to be on their toes.

Most of our leadership problems are crested on perception and mentality, like the Emilokans. A vote for Tinubu or Atiku is a vote for the continuation of the current system in Nigeria. It also means the future of this country (youth) has been defeated.

I can assure you that the same youths supporting Peter Obi today would be the first to castigate him if he failed to deliver on his promises and expectation placed on him. We Obidients are just out to correct the impressions among leaders in Nigeria. Should Obi emerge victorious in this poll, I can assure you the president that Nigeria will produce will not be the calibres of Tinubu and Atiku again.

A lot of potential presidents among young Nigerians are just waiting for how this 2023 election will turn out. You will see that if Obi is victorious, many youths will come out to contest for presidency in 2027, even those in diaspora.

MrEverest:
The more reason why it's very crucial for Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi. We have gambled enough with our destiny and another mistake will be catastrophic. There might even be war ultimately due to the collapse of the economy and ensuing widespread hunger and insecurity.

As it stands now, only Obi has the capacity and passion to heal Nigeria and take it to greater heights.

Some of those that regretted voting for Buhari and asked for forgiveness are today saying they will vote another calamity because of sentiments. Just know that you may not even be alive to regret your actions this time around.

Nigerians should vote wisely because their destiny is in their own hands.

Anyenmoney:
She is Right.
I wonder the brain composition of apc and pdp supporters!!!
Please Nigerians,. Let's give Peter Obi of Labour Party a chance.

IfnobeGod20:
Let me start from your last statement. Please who told you Nigeria has no money? Nigeria is a very rich country. The problem of Nigeria is waste. Too much waste and until we have leadership that can curtail the excess waste in all our national life before we can breakthrough. I know you yourself know that our system of government encourages waste and it has brought us this untold hardship. You've heard Obi repeatedly saying how he curtailed many waste the state should have incurred, which later helped him to meet up with government dealings and at the same time still save for rainy day. If Nigerian leaders have been prudent in managing Nigeria resources, Nigeria would have been a developed nation for long. All what Nigeria needed as a nation, God has endowed the nation but our problem is principally leadership failure.
As at today Nigeria have made more richer politicians with no single trace of enterprise than made wealth of her economy. They instead paralyze the institutions that suppose to generate wealth for the country for the benefit of politicians. So, the country is a wealthy country and no gainsaying about that.

Your first paragraph have justified that the country is wealthy but the inability of the nation to diversify to more profitable ventures is what is affecting the nation. We only focus on oil and the same oil only few are feasting on it at the detriment of the nation.

You weren't against saving but you were against Peter Obi saving, even after he has repeatedly said he owed no salary, owed no pension, owed no contractor that have successfully completed their contract before the expiration of his tenure. Built schools, hospitals, built nursing schools, built roads, built bridges and also open up one of the biggest industrial hub in south east that is not a PPP project but solely government project his government financed and till date those industries sited their are still employing thousands of Anambrans. So his saving was borne out of prudent management of resources accrual to the state.
If he is owing and not perform his obligation, I will also join in condemning him but he was able to save for rainy day which his successor used to build airport.
All what I wrote up here, he repeated same at Chatham House and he has been saying it everywhere he has opportunity of talking about his stewardship in Anambra.

orion7:
Deji keeps saying don’t vote for anyone. Nobody should listen to that fool because all he is trying to do is discourage youths from voting, he has seen that if the youths vote, Apc and pdp re toast. That’s his angle.

The fool has refused to tell the people who they should vote. Maybe his friend sowore. But deep down I know deji is rooting for tinubu



At this hour and time I pray for all the zombies in the land to have sense and save Nigeria from the northern emilokun and the southern emilokun

It will never be thier turn

stano2:
So sad, may his soul rest in peace.
His killers will know no peace.

The insecurity in Nigeria keeps getting worse and people are still supporting PDAPC.

Vote wisely!!! It can be anyone tomorrow.

DirectTokunbo:
And does having a PhD automatically make you a better leader? He shouldn't have used that angle at all, just showed his weakness

Racoon:
This one knows Peter Obi has set a standard none of then can ever beat @ Chatham House hence resort to dick measuring contest. How many people even took note Kwankwanso was speaking in London today

Magnoliaa:
You're kayperry, and you're a pathetic attention-seeker.



Ehyaaa. Begging me to respond to your PMs now? And what PMs? Where are they?

Send your wishes to your mom and sisters.

They'll appreciate it more.

Magnoliaa:
Stop fishing for attention, Kayperry.

Stop it.

It is very embarrassing to say the least.

Acting like a mentally unstable person blowing hot today and cold tomorrow to people you h8 with every fibre of your being and would prefer bad things happen to just so you would stop seeing them online.



When you're ready to communicate, you will use intelligent words.

So again, why did you mention me to this thread?

Magnoliaa:
This*.

So why are you dedicating this thread to me? What exactly does dedication have to do with the topic at all...idg? What exactly is your reason for this shameless attention-seeking from women you dislike?

Why are you mentioning them unprovoked?

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, no country can survive without a saving culture. Any country that consume all her earnings just because its need to spend money always have problem in the time of difficulty. It is the same way workers are always advised to cultivate the culture of saving as to prepare for the rainy day. You will always have what to fall back on during difficult times when you saved. The economy crutch we are experiencing today is as a result of not preparing for it when we have oil boom because of the mentality of putting all our fingers in our mouths at once.
No matter the difficulty economist advise saving culture either in government or private life.
One thing that you people are taking away from him (Peter Obi) is as he always asked. Did he owe any contractor that has fully completed his contract before the expiration of his tenure? He repeated same At Chatham House that he owed no salary, owed no pension, owed no contractor, built roads, built hospitals, built schools but still saved. What is the problem in that? Every developed nations sometimes have savings multiple of their debt and that is what is giving them more confidence.

Read the importance of savings from the two links below and the extracts from the two links as to appreciate the importance of saving to a state or country.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/saving%23:~:text%3DSaving%2520is%2520important%2520to%2520the,from%2520consuming%2520their%2520entire%2520income.&ved=2ahUKEwi30JjegNH8AhVVYKQEHRM2BgMQFnoECBEQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3zl_Ug3sQpIT_PwMs4zav0
"Saving is important to the economic progress of a country because of its relation to investment. If there is to be an increase in productive wealth, some individuals must be willing to abstain from consuming their entire income".

"The model suggests that while the capital-to-revenue ratio (v) is the data, the higher the saving rate (s), the higher the growth rate of the revenue. According to the model, countries need to increase their saving rates and thus their investment rates in order to be able to develop"

OGHENAOGIE:
there are igbos supporting APC and asiwaju infact Igbo groups self... Afenifere didn't support APC in 2015 and 2019 so what surprise they are supporting a loser obi on d ground of na Igbo turn... Next month elections is about Party ist not tribe or religion and APC PDP remains the big two parties to slug it out labour party would be lucky to come Third

OGHENAOGIE:
so because of this obi ll not lose next month abi.... Dey play sha we ll see how many votes labour party ll get...

Goodday90:
Nonsense talk,tinubu will get the most support from Yoruba and obi from Igbo,stop talking like a Babi thought you Apc members say you have uzodimma and umahi in the bag,why are you whinning like little babies now?

CrownOfClay724:
Thing is man is getting support for many reasons— like other candidates .

A lot of yoruba people are hellbent on voting BAT because he is Yoruba, his infirmities, bleak and shoddy past notwithstanding .

Same goes for Atiku.

Did that colour them as ethnic candidate?

Or is it when an igbo man echo the same thing that it becomes an agenda

Think Yorubalokan.
Think vote Arewa.
