Tinubu as some mischief makers would have u believe does not own Yoruba or their minds. The hardship and other challenges facing the country are also suffered by the south westerners. Tinubu didn't make Yorubas support Buhari in the 2015 presidential election against Jonathan but their yearning for a representative government.
Tinubu can only own the minds and brains of the mischievous persons who only think about their pockets at the expense of the general good. Tinubu is a very old man with an unsteady health conditions which among his penchant for corruption and turning the resources of the government to personal use make him a no no to lead this country

We'll confirm by how many Yoruba states Obi wins next year. If Yoruba don't give him at least 55% then they're tied to Tinubu's diapers.

Sweetplum:
He did. You guys are chasing shadows abroad. Do your door to door campaign in Nigeria early. This is expo. And never engage in online dissing of Tinubu cos he's not your mate, he's not Obi's mate. In all, never denigrate the Yoruba race cos the race isn't the mate of your ancestors.
Play mature politics and see how you ll excel. Disobey my advise and see how you ll all lose and cry as usual. The lessons of 1966 from Aguiyi Ironsi to Ojukwu hasn't thought some Igbos lessons.

Still making half sense because you're fixated to your tribal political antics. Stop dissing...stop dissing. Is it the same Tinubu that insulted Jonathan to the high heavens or another? What i dislike about you people is your hypocritical leaning and chameleonic attitude. Always changing the rule to suit your narratives. Obi is barely a tribal project to Igbos. Rather, he's a quest to save a wrecked country. A country wrecked when your fathers sidelines Igbos in winner take all after the war. How far has Nigeria gone since then. And you can bet that Igbo wont be the worse off even if you people elect another crook.

Sweetplum:
All these people no get pvc in Nigeria and won't come here to vote. Highest they can do is to tweet. Obi people this is not how to win elections. Move with intellects to strategize.
Swallow your pride and avoid abuses cos you guys aren't the greatest strategist in dissing.
Lai Muhammad hasn't publicly joined Tinubu's gang. Let him come in and see how he ll finish all of you. Just be civil and see how well meaning Nigerians like me will support Obi.
Especially you this boy called Zonefree, you are not intelligent at all.

So you won't do the right thing because some random person is abusive on an anonymous forum? Go ahead then, vote the usual crooks ruining the country. Maybe you'll change nationality after they've destroyed the country.

Rozross:
Which kind man will go to university to study that useless course called Philosopghy? How will they ever make money with such course? Please are there any successful philosopher here nairaland? If yes, how then are you making your money?

All these people mentioned by the article can buy all the companies in your state.

Beautiful

BorderlessTrade:
I've read all the scam accusations. Time for a detailed and befitting reply.
Okay, so you expected me to pay N5 or N10 per word for crappy articles that don't even follow simple instructions. Most of you didn't even read my instructions. It's annoying to even check most the articles submitted.
I could overlook poor language with grammar errors, but certainly not outright disregard of instructions.
You don't just write to fill the word-count. You are writing to help someone solve a problem. Most of you guys were in a hurry to just finish the article and get paid. It doesn't work that way.
I specifically mentioned these requirements:
An in-depth research
Satisfying users' search intentions
Arranging ideas in a descending order of importance
Giving each paragraph a topic sentence and emphasizing it with relevant details
Using simple language
Here's a simple example of the type of article I wanted from writers. Compare this example with the article you wrote before calling me names on Nairaland.
https://proxypayee.com/webmoney-to-skrill/
You don't know how it feels reviewing a dozen worthless articles. You want me to pay N5,000 or N10,000 for a 1k word article that no body will read through. How could that help my website or drive traffic? I'd rather do this job gradually a lone and achieve my target in 10 months than publish dozens of low-quality articles in 1 month. Hence, I've decided to suspend it for now.
To the lazy writers on Nairaland who think writing is all about word-count, let me advice you. You won't get anywhere with that attitude and no high-value client will ever hire you long-term. So, if you really want to succeed in this trade, it's mandatory to develop your writing skills further. Follow these steps:
1. Download the free collocation dictionary of 5000 most frequently used words in America. Use the link below.
https://www.academia.edu/29501273/Word_Frequency_List_of_American_English
This will help you in building the 2500 core vocabulary need for native-style writing.
2. Use this online utility tool to whenever you finish writing an article. It'll show you the total variety of words used in that article and also flag unusual words that make comprehension difficult. The tool also shows how easy or difficult your is to comprehend. If you understand how to use this tool, it'll help you a lot in improving your articles.
3. Read a lot ... a lot. Read high-quality articles, buyer feedback on Amazon, and comments on U.S forums like Reddit. This will help you to develop a knack for fluency.
4. Use this grammar book by "TheFreeDictionary" to sharpen your writing.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/The-Farlex-Grammar-Book.htm
It's available for free online reading but the PDF copy costs a few dollars. You can open each item on the table of contents page, copy and paste its contents in a word document and convert it to PDF.
5. Use this "Federal Plain Language Guidelines" document to further improve your writing
https://www.plainlanguage.gov/media/FederalPLGuidelines.pdf
6. Get a writer that you'll imitate, such as a foreign journalist. Copy and paste their best articles in a word document. Collect up to 10,000 words of their articles and use the tool below to convert the word document into an MP3 file. Download the MP3 file and be listening to it on your phone or laptop even when you are working on other things.
7. Use this plagiarism tool whenever you write an article. You can check 500 words at a time free of charge, and it's one of the best out there.
8. Last but not least, practice writing every day.
I like to help, but I don't tolerate laziness. Most of your submissions reek laziness.

So, for those who think I'm a scammer who got away with their sample articles, you are wrong. I'll definitely get back to the good writers among you.

Check the test article you submitted against the example I linked to at the beginning of this post and tell me whether I should accept it.

Isn't it paradoxical that you condemned low pay employers in your OP? Is it possible that the reason some pay lowly is because the output of most Nigerians is low quality jobs?

BorderlessTrade:
Watch your words. The few of you who submitted a test article should keep checking online to see if it ever gets published. Use the plagiarism checker Quetext.com. It's one of the strictest and allows checking up to 500 words free. I'm going to write a more detailed reply to all your accusations and share the Google Docs links to the articles many of you guys submitted. No reputable site will publish such articles. I won't stoop so low as to trick people into writing free articles for my website. A very few you did well, and those are the guys I'll continue with.

I read your post. I really didn't believe you're a fraudster. Nevertheless, what's obvious is that you found out down the line that the money to make the payments won't be available. That's your reason for pulling out not that all the candidates submitted sub par content. As i said earlier, i knew you're not a scammer, but you should own up to disappointing these people.

cleverseo:
After this guy don claim SEO agency

5 naira per word and company

The werey has ghosted the Google Chat Space he created

I interacted with some of the writers and he obviously stole their work and ghosted them

Thank God this was just a short-term stuff

Imagine if they actually worked till October for him

Nigeria is a very terrible place to work online

I remember a writer on Google Chat asking the guy to give his Linked In profile, Upwork, or website name

Baba dutifully and stylishly ignored

Writers in Nigeria are always underpaid, shortchanged, and now frequently scammed of their pay

Please let this be a lesson, never work for anyone who wants you to complete many tasks before paying

Freelance writing isn't company work where I can call my boss when it's time for my payment

You can easily get duped, I'm a living testimony

I never touched the article they assigned to me, I was just observing to see what would happen after the first submission

And to no surprise, werey ghosted

Talmbout 5 naira and 10 naira per word for almost 60 days

Imagine how much the writes would have worked if they worked for him

He would have been owing each writer at least 300k and he claimed he needed 15 writers, ----

He would be owing about 4.5 million

Where is he going to see that kind of cash?

And to you, next scammer planning to scam the hardworking writers, pray that you don't leave many traces online

I will personally work to track you down, you frauds can't keep extorting writers and going free

I once wrote a 3k word sample for an "agency" on this platform,

After submitting, I just got a one sentence reply, "sorry the article doesn't meet expectations"

I decided to check this article with plagiarism checkers almost 3 months later, only to see that they published it to their site

Don't worry, keep scamming

It's no longer everyday for the thief, one day for the owner,

The owner will soon catch you

You guys aren't smart enough to identify an impossible task. If you were, you all should have ignored him. Someone was paid $50 and in anticipation of more pay, they opened an employment portal and you all ran over one another for #10. Now let me tell you what really happened. Your over excited would be employer realized that his website wouldn't be bringing in more $50 notes and developed cold feet. Next time, you all should use your brains.

kaymart:
Tinubu should have stopped them from proceeding.
Isn't this a bad publicity?

To him, all publicity is good publicity. He's at home with the touts, his constituency.

Tinubu and touts are like Siamese twins.

In buhari, we had the government of cattle for cattle by Fulani.
Tinubu would form a government of touts for touts by mafia.

yinkus6750:
What a failed state.
How can Ebonyi state be so successful in infrastructure and leadership, while Abia is seriously retrogressing ?
It's a big shame on past and present leaders of Abia State.
I hope they get it right by 2023

That's what happens when a people allow occultists to be in charge of government.

Arespect10:
But Tinubu is still their problem

Tinubu is one of Nigeria's problems. Not just Abia

Pray4naija:
In a saner Cline, ikpeazu would be arrested immediately after his tenure.

No, impeached.

VTJN:
I guess Tinubu is the cause of their misfortunes and woes in life

No, Tinubu is the woe of Lagos and Osun. Yoruba are free to make him the woe of Yorubaland, not Nigeria.

A very satanic government they have in that state.

donbrowser:
You will never see them complain or shout. The 2 former governors in that state were still voted as senators. Ikpeazu will still win the senate seat again.

Abia doesn't deserve a change in government or another party should take over. It's only Tinubu, Lagos and APC.

If you want to know how naive these people are, do a poll and ask them to choose between Umahi and Ikpeazu, many of them will rather not choose than to choose Umahi or they will secretly choose Ikpeazu just because they hate APC.

I don't know how some people can choose to be regionally retarded.

If this nonsense Ikpeazu runs for presidency in future, they will start packaging him for us just like they are doing to Peter Obi here https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing

The earlier you people start voting out incompetence, the better for you. Keep voting only PDP and continue hating Tinubu.

Una just dey start.

Sense made - zero

Igbo is the only ethnic group that calls out bad leaders and rejects them. Unlike Yoruba that made a drug addict and dealer their tribal leader. The nigerian rigging system is the only reason bad leaders find their way to government in Igbo land.

The Igbo man has an acuity for discernment. How many times did Buhari choose Igbo vice but Igbos rejected him. Immediately he chose a Yoruba man, you all fell over each other and elected him. That's the difference.

If Nigerians have sense, they'll always consult with the Igbo who to vote as president. Most of you lack the presence of mind for objective assessment. Tinubu as president? Just bury Nigeria instead.

Let them keep wasting the money. It's meant to be wasted. This is why we need a leader with a good heart and saving culture.

Vote Peter Obi to make the country sane for the first time since independence. Vote him to give this country a chance to survive another 10 years. With the crop of political vultures we have, we're on borrowed time.

Who else remembers that Buhari said he'll sell most of yhe planes in the presidential fleet?
"How am i different from the ordinary Nigerian?"

Let's see if the citizens would allow themselves to be fooled again.

rayvelez:
The most corrupt agency in Nigeria is the Nigeria Police Force. omoh that agency nah correct corruptions from top to bottom.... if any of my family or relatives join em nah to disown them pata pata very dirty evil cults organization with their dirty appearance rag uniforms tuehhh..,

You're correct. The girl i wanted to marry joined the police without telling me because she didn't want me to discourage her.
Na so i dump am.

Anigreat:




Lies,but let's assumed this is true

A great philosopher of all time Plato once said “No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

If people that worked with PO when he was a governor refused campaigning for him, the answer is not far fetch, we know the reason. They're still hurt that Obi checkmate them as if his life depends on it that they take nothing home aside their monthly salary. Obi is not your typical Nigeria politicians that opened the state treasury for thieves to loot with reckless abandon as such , they see no need campaigning for him because even if he emerged, they stand to gain nothing

Those campaigning for Iragbiji son, do not campaign because they love him or the truly want or desire him to be the president, but they suddenly remembered how the loot Lagos and still looting with Yekini Amoda being the leader of the looters hence they're so determined to installed the walking corpse so that they can loot Nigeria with total recklessness.

You garrit. Looters like PDP and APC are in the race for themselves. Obi is in the race for Nigerians. That's the difference.

Tokskob2008:
While we can all agree that the immigration is very corrupt but I don't think it matches up to the Nigerian Police in any way. While the immigration officials might be raking in big sums compared to the NPF, the later still remains the most corrupt because 99% of it's officers are deep neck into it and are also proud and open about it. It's only the NPF I see that will want to forcefully get bribe from you and still threaten to kill if you refuse in any way.

For me the most professional should be the Nigerian Navy..

Sometimes, I wonder the motive for joining the police in Nigeria. Perhaps to grab more bribe money.

NaijaRoyalty:
Tinubu should top the list

Very possible

slimfit1:
All of them

Can't be all. There must be one or two that did the right thing. Though the Nigerian political space doesn't encourage honest individuals to participate, they sometimes make it. Peter Obi, for instance entered as governor via the court after he was rigged out. Just as he has become a front-runner to presidency by avoiding PDP bribe-induced selection process by joining the Labour Party.

Sonyboom765:
Al lot but most importantly Peter Peter Obi because his crime of looting N250 million cash with governor's convoy just to evade the BVN security system is an easy case. This is some he did monthly before he was expose by one of his aid who felt sad n sorrow for Anambra state make the criminal no go loot the state to death.

You're so laughable. Has BVN been introduced when Obi waa governor?

We just have to face the fact that Nigeria is a very corrupt country. Not just the political class but the people as well. I remember one day when a bank cashier overpaid me by #20k, as i discovered the error, the chap who was paid before me said, "na your luck na".


The bad news is that the security agencies that should be seen as law enforcement agents are mostly rotten agencies. So which are the most corrupt law enforcement agencies in Nigeria and which seem a bit professional?

In my opinion, the worse and corrupt law enforcement organization in Nigeria is the Immigration service. The rot there is complete. What they operate is a racket where every one of them is a trader. Right from their gates, their officers are hunters seeking ways to rip off the citizens who are there for one issue or the other, especially in passport racketeering.

The very worst law enforcement agency in Nigeria is the police. I think they're so bad because they're armed and use wiles to steal from the people. I can recall a day I was traveling from Lagos to Abuja, oblivious that my vehicle documents were not complete. Somewhere in Kogi, I had to transfer some money to policemen before they released me. Imagine the zero tact of a law officer giving you his account number for you to transfer bribe money to him.

The most professional law enforcement agency to me is the Drug Law Enforcement. What's nice about this agency is that they're barely visible, unlike most of the others constituting themselves as nuisance in their quests for bribe money.

I've had a few encounters with the drug agency. The first was at the Kaduna airport on a morning flight. I was surprised by the chap at the scanner who asked if I was fasting. (It was during the Muslim fast). I said no. He motioned to the bottle of water I was holding and asked if I could taste it. I said okay, opened and and sipped and he asked me to go on.

My second and third encounters was on my way to Port Harcourt from Abuja at night. For some unavoidable reasons I was delayed and hit the road late. At the many checkpoints on the route, you won't but help noticing that the drug guys seem the most professional. Since I was alone and it was night. They would stop and search the car in a quick and efficient manner and made no attempt at seeking bribes at two points i met them. So unlike the police.

In effect, I believe that the drug agency is the most professional security agency in the country. Not saying they aren't corrupt though.

I'll start with Orji Uzor Kalu because I was in Abia state when the man was governor. The guy is a first rate crook and shouldn't be walking free. His government practically siphoned public funds via bogey contracts. If Nigeria isn't such a joke, he would have gone away for a long time.

My friend, you don't need your picture to be hired for a remote job. It adds nothing but could even be an impediment. If you were a girl, there are many men that would rush to even offer you the job. So i suggest that you remain neutral by removing the photos and emphasizing your skills.

I never heard that name before. Unknown people everywhere.

He is a Christian singer. Not a Muslim agbadorian so you are forgiven for not knowing him.

Tinubuadvocate:
You think he will be going mosque and market like peter obi without strategizing.

So for 7 years he hasn't been strategizing on how to take over from his friend,

Another unprepared politician
