National politics na your mate?

Atiku? I remember him. He was Nigeria's vice president under Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007.

Let me confirm this lovely endorsement of his candidature with Obasanjo who worked directly with him during the only executive experience on his curriculum vitae

Fortruth:
Who knows the Olubadan of Ibadan? Is he happy his town still has the same brown roofs they had when the late Queen Eliza visited back in the 50s?

See his mets in Qatar, Dubai, Amsterdam, nobilities that arer proud to showcase their towns innovation, stadiums, airports, highways, hospitals, universities.

But of course, in Blackie Africa, monarchs that will be using generator, will be commissioning flyovers in 2022… will be going abroad for ear checkups….

Anyway keep on with the same as usual and support the aged Tinubu. The next time a President from a developed country calls you as shythole (USA), a cemetery (Russia), you Berra not vex.

FOOOOLISH Black people…FOOLISH

Cho cho cho cho cho

Akpu - horrible smell

Tinubu did his homework but don't forget the cluelessness of the so-called Obidients, their crude approach rallied support for Tinubu. The personal attacks made people look at him more closely. Each joke, skit, cartoon, mockery song won him sympathy and popularity. They are winning and celebrating online battles but they are losing the war. He is not a saint but we don't have any saint contesting here. He is a team player who did well in Lagos. We can't ignore that.

Who told you Catholics don't like Pentecostals? You are wrong. Yes they have doctrinal differences but not personal.

On Obi, I agree with you because we know his deeds as Anambra governor. He is just playing games.

Tareq1105:
Obi is a Catholic. He doesn't like Pentecostal but here he is, going up and down realizing that the votes of Catholic alone cannot take him anywhere even among Christians not to even talk about Muslims.

To me, it's all pretence which I've always talked about.

Well, that's no news.

Baba no dey give shishi and offers nothing new politically, using his 8 years as Anambra governor as basis, so preaching to the choir is an attractive strategy to keep you in the news with cheap publicity.

What's happening to Argentina

Na thunder faya dem

Match don tough, Pessi don turn passenger

blingxx:
Netherland go beat this ref laslas

... and would be well deserved

NED definitely better than the pretenders. They should have just played their normal game instead of overthinking strategy

2-1

Pessi scored it! Miracle

Pessi

This useless Argentina team has no business in the semi final.

Are you sure that's edible? Be careful!

No matter what anyone says here, my brothers and sisters, if you intend to get married make sure you run tests like this. Our culture makes it extremely difficult to get out of a bad choice with this lifetime and life changing decision called marriage. Run your test, don't let anyone downplay this with some smart sayings. Don't be a walking dead or die before your time, this won't eliminate the risk but it will surely minimize it. It is called due diligence.

On the flip side also, you might actually be helping our society as a whole by making people value integrity and contentment even more.

Yabbis aside, I must confess I agree with him.

SLAP44:
The good times are here again

I will buy a car as soon as Peter Obi wins

I will marry

I will build a good house

There will be enough work because industries will be built

There will be security because these utchins and miscreants disturbing us will finally be forced to work

Zero inflation, Peter Obi and his VP understands the economy better than the rest of the pretenders.

Vote for better life, vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Baba Datti Ahmed.

That cheap burukutu go soon clear for your eyes

Teamwork clearly underlined.

The event was a talk followed by questions. I see no issue here besides a man with track record showcasing his strength.

Klinee:
Is a fat lie!!! The LP spokesman never said such, he meant LP not APC, it just a slip of tongue. That's why he jokingly said that he is becoming another Tinubu for consistence mentioning of APC instead of LP.

Please moderator should delete this thread

That was made clear in the thread title. Calm down.

That's why the truly intelligent ones don't focus on gaffes and errors made while speaking in public. Only those at low level who have never had to make public presentations in their life focus on that. Even the acclaimed speakers all over the world stumble on words, or lose focus with repeated errors.

What is important is the message and when you ignore gaffes, the message is always clear.

You have a good heart. May God continue to bless you and your family.

viodemus:
This whole subject funny.
Dem dun use laff quack me for here.

Many people are making points here, I can't quote all, but i think you rewinded my lifestyle

When my sisters first japa in the 90s, then by 2000s when I dun grow with my younger brother. Na so i just dey bother am, if she call my mama and i dey house, she go say make she talk to me, within 1 min, i dun tell am make she send money, she go dey try tell me say she still dey study this and that, na so i go just provoke hang phone. When i dey campus, I go tell my guy make he call her wey just send me money last week, talk say dem dun kidnap me blah blah ...

E get when she begin dey do more for us, both of my sisters at this time, dem wan cun rebuild house for my popsi, na so me and my brother, go just troop go there, when we know say she dun pay contractor, when my mama dun give the guy the money, na so we mask up with some of our guy, block the contactor, cun rob am, sometimes use slap intimidate the middle aged man wey get family. Enuff axe, and even more dangerous weapon to show am some visible. D guy go just humble give us the money. Many of them quit The house no ever complete until me and my bro japa. My other two older brothers dey NA, so dem no dey ever dey area.

We no know say our sisters dem been dey try for us, God forgive me, e even get time wey we plan rob her husband for airport rd. But na him brother been dey motor, so we rob am unto say we dey vex.

Then, when we go yankee, for the 1st six weeks or so, I dey see my sister like less than 30mins a day, sometimes one week, because she dey do live in, - the money sef no buoyant. na still phone call like say I still dey Naija, if you go the other one house, na the same thing. If dem come back from work, dem no dey sleep straight for bed, dem dey sleep side way for bed, so that dem no go over sleep. My sister go dey sick, dey remember say my mama dey sick unto wetin we dey tell her for Naija, say mumsi dey sick but she no wan talk; my sister think say na true, cun dey over hustle for peanuts, dey go school right after pregnancy months before we come. My beautiful sisters cun dey dry for skin value.

One day, me and my brother, cun force both of them to come for emergency meeting with us, we come kneel down, dey beg dem, dey cry, that day I call myself bastard with parents. We beg them, dem follow us cry. Omo, from that day, we enter gear. Na one of the hustle fire, I get till today.

That house, we done build am, buy them cars, give them money, include them on vacations, give them percentage from some of our businesses, I no dey use dem or their pikin play. But I no wan spoil their pikin, even though say dem get enough video games and many toys including educational toys from us. I only find about two of those contractors, i give them money in millions, one of the guy son na my young paddy today, working with us, get new motor, him say him no wan go school but he dey work with me and my bro. Him account dun buoyant to dey help their relatives. He dun help our business improve alot with him value. One of my trusted people today, my brother dey send am go Indonesia or thailand, him like asia, he dun tag with me go some african countries and he g with us, follow us go jand for family fun. I still no dey feel say, I dun pay for my sins finish. E get another 3rd guy, wey we neva see yet, nobody know where he dey, but i still dey beg God to direct me to that guy. We or I, dey right my wrong. I buy my sisters,massage beds. Dem dey come Naija at will, my sister husband younger bro, dey try, he too like shayo, so business no dey last for him hand. But he no dey lack necessity or some materialistic things

We do more evil acts to family and others, wey be say na one string remain make the relationships break finish. I just dey tell you knee level. I still no dey believe say na me and my bro do all those things. But hope dey.


This japa mata, na government fault and mass illiteracy on the issue. If person work, he suppose fit eat, drink water, drop cup. Even mediocre successful people for Nigeria, not govt money diverters, I dey talk hard workers with hope of more tunnel light, no fit move anyhow without everybody on their neck. Nigerian leaders no dey respect a great country like Nigeria on any level.

No mind my epistle, I still dey confess my sins, but I gatz dey move ahead.

PerfectStranger:
And he didn’t go toe-to-toe with him? Well, a hoe is a hoe no matter what you do.

He is wiser than that but that one na sure banker for Ajegunle, Oshodi et al

Instead of bugging them with request for money to address your own issues, how about helping them solve a problem and then create a strategy that grows both parties?

Get off your lazy ass, find a good business or unencumbered property that your friend/family working abroad can invest in. Do all the ground work since you know the terrain better. Stake your integrity on it and get the person to invest, state your fees also and make it very reasonable, most definitely won't mind as that is standard where they live. If it works with your integrity intact, you are on to something and the diaspora love to spread words about what works well at home (most of you simply have no idea how huge you can become simply based on your integrity alone).

What I have just described is how many Nigerians have become millionaires (not overnight) by leveraging their network, integrity and diligence. It takes time but it works. It is not motivational talk, it is reality and there are several examples of such success stories around that you don't even know.

The biggest problem is when you refuse to accept that there is a problem when the problem is right there staring at you. Instead of attacking her, we should address our entitlement mentality then we can solve the big problem. The bad ones are causing issues for the good ones among us. We underestimate the sheer volume of funds coming into different economies from outside.

Due to our population, Nigeria has been a huge beneficiary of this and a chunk of those benefiting are betraying the trust of their benefactors. This is not just about Nigerians in diaspora, even international agencies, churches, partners, independent donors, grant providers are discovering that most of our people are simply not trustworthy. This is seriously affecting our economy that we are actively mismanaging in collusion with our people in government every blessed day.

We need to start having this conversation.

Why do we always think we are smarter than people trying to help us? Why do we always assume that we are the only ones with issues that must be resolved immediately? Why do we tend to see others as meal ticket? Don't take this personal, the 'we' in each sentence refer to those guilty of doing it.

davidsthe:
an executive (president or governor) can either sign or withhold accent from a bill duly passed by the lawmakers. PMB signed many bills but he also withhold accent for some.

from what you narrated I think Mr Obi lacks the courage to consistently do the right thing and be on the side of the right thing always whether or not it's the normal in Nigeria.

Spot on. He is a weakling. He can't handle Abuja with all the heavyweights if he can't handle a tiny state's house of assembly with kindergarten parliamentarians.

Noblechykk:
Stop being dull; the bill was passed by the PDP controlled house of Assembly. If he had refused to sign it, the will still veto it.

So we should expect the same situation and excuses if he becomes the president because his party won't have control of the national assembly .
