The opposition are doing a good job with that, why change a winning formula?

Treasure17:
Your president should talk to the press first.

We must keep the online mob entertained. They love the attention they get online, no one listens to them in real life.

Richtaiwo:
Why waste time explaining further? Every proof is already on the table, yet understanding never arrives. Under Buhari, it was the certificate saga, despite the obvious puzzle of how possible is it for a Major General to somehow lack one. When reason repeatedly meets a brick wall, the only fitting reply is to match absurdity with absurdity.

Treasure17:
I dare Tinubu to debate with Peter Obi. Let's start from there.

That would be a total waste of the President's time - Obi can go and debate Bwala

I'm alright but not sure how that is your personal headache as I don't give a sht if you are alright or not.

ezegold4we:
Are you alright??

Frankly Obi is a joke taken to far. He is punching well above his weight level. Only raw sentiments can make any sane person see him as a serious candidate even as governor of a big state in Nigeria.

helinues:
Hope Peter Obi is not amongst those he will debate with as that will be brain damaging. Have you seen Obi's interview over the weekend, it was horrible than before

Truth be told Peter Obi is not even at the level of a governor in a big state.

He is a perfect definition of packaging.

No bandits here, we are now camped in Kwara State and the bandits know the scores. Iru Ekun not playing with anybody.
Our new concern is the "fake bandits" from the headquarters of fake products who have now found a business opportunity but we are going to deal with them in the language they understand

MEGAWATCH:
How are you coping with the bandits wahala?

Have you relocated back to your houses?

What about that Oba that was in the bandits camp? Was he released alive?

I'm just curious.

😘

That's true, my good neighbour Mr Okete from Ipetumodu just relocated to Agulu last month. I don't think it's alarming, we must all join hands to develop the South East by fire by force. That will definitely solve a global problem

MEGAWATCH:
The amount of South Westerners trooping from the South west to the East is simply alarming O!

My office is closed to the park and I know what I'm talking about.

I don't have any problems with that because nobody wants to live in a place where you have a high level of security risk.

But my problem is that most of them in the East always keep quiet when their people who had never been in the East starts writing nonsense about the East here.

You are welcome as long as you are coming with good intentions though.


🥱🥱

Nice one.
As always expected from time immemorial, the beautiful land of the South West has been very good to our dear franchasng, God bless Iragbiji land and God bless Aba land

franchasng:
No. He can get bus to Ore or Akure and from there to Aba.


There are buses from Ile Ife to Ore. From Ore there is direct bus to Aba.



I live at Iragbiji Osun State, that is how we go when going for timber market or to Aba to buy market

They are all ending up in the mouth of the snake that they indulged.

There is still time to rise up against these evil doers instead of seeing them as your brothers. A devilish soul is no one's brother.

Your preferred choice of diplomatic interpretation is your personal headache.

Alex Otti spoke loud and clear on this one. No desperate Ladipo market or Oluwole interpretation is needed

esnbrutality:
Alex was Diplomatic in his response.

Are you NOT using

Umahi
Orji Uzo Kalu
TA Orji
Ikpeazu


as a reference point? The failures in APC couldn't and didn't perform as Governors, so you need somebody that is Loved by everyone to give endorsement.

Desperation

After all the wasted energy on long story, Alex Otti's statement here remains unchanged and kudos to him for daring to speak the truth.

God bless Alex Otti
God bless President Tinubu
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

esnbrutality:
This is Why Remi Tinubu went to Abia. She needed the endorsement of a performing Governor.

Na Remi be the real MVP in this desperate attempt to facilitate reelection for her husband. A failed Government needs propaganda and extracts endorsements by force.

What is constant is that ...

Tinubu supporters and Tinubu, has failed woefully.

Collect the money and REMOVE THE DUST FROM YOUR PVC.

Even the 2 billion wasnt given to any SW State. Instead they are given bread and 1 bottle of groundnut oil

I agree with Obidients that Alex Otti is a very honest man

No loud am. We understand our brothers from that side.

creativejagaban:
Everyone knows the real parasites and the parasites know themselves.

The parasites jumped onto midnight buses going to the omoluabis domain on a daily basis. Still they are filled with hatred every single day for the omoluabis.

No be juju be that.

But we love the hatred sha.

Tinubu till 2031.

True but we are Africans. We take care of each other.

Richtaiwo:
Contributed 79 billion and received over 230 billion. As in, received over 291% of what you contributed. Which kind of useless system is that? Is that a ponzi scheme or what? Or how else do I explain this nonsense? This system of robbing Adewale to pay Ikenna must end one day.

Hmmm real talk.

Amalekki:
Frankly I see nothing wrong in Nigerians carrying their struggling brothers. A few truly rich ones should not make us lose sight of the realities, there is extreme poverty out there and ego with loud mouth won't cover it up. Kudos to Nigeria.

Read through what you quoted again. Your answer is right there

Love800:
So USA is not a country?

No one is making one of the main points in the comparison, and also I don't think the person asking these questions has the capacity to process the answers to his questions.

**A key point: To understand USA, you need to first understand that in reality it is not a single country. It's hard for many to understand but that's how it works and feels in reality. You can't describe New Jersey the same way you describe Georgia or Florida. Same with lumping Illinois, Michigan or Minnesota with Texas. Heck, Louisiana is a foreign land compared with Wyoming in several ways. California, Arizona, New Mexico etc

*In the USA, there are states/municipalities where gun is allowed and there are states where it's illegal. Take note if that's a factor.
There are states that feel like Europe, there are states with hint of Latin America, there are states that feel like Canada, some like Asia, and some like Africa. That is the United States of America! When you are in the USA, it's up to you what you want to explore.

In Nigerianese, they say "Otilo".
In Chicagonese, they say "He gone!"

As a society, we get what our heart seeks.

What stops our bloggers and readers from engaging actively in productive stories? Are we saying we don't have female achievers making exploits in different fields of endeavor in every major cities and towns in Nigeria as we speak?

We have brilliant girls excelling in our schools and other key sectors like finance, oil and gas, tech, real estate, SMEs all with their stories. We need to get those in the face of people and not just stories where we all fold our arms and shout yeparipa egbami o all the time.

Let's not get carried away with the typical cho cho cho of bloggers and so-called journalists when a "juicy" development surfaces. They give us false sense of knowledge of actual facts and this has happened several times. The only factual data in any case follows clear laws of evidence, a distinct set of procedures on evidence gathering and validation. There are many things we get away with on social media that will be rubbished in front of a judge.

We saw it during electoral tribunals when real judges shredded all the pedestrian arguments flying about on social media, and clearly stated and emphasized the position of the law. Just as we have in motor parks, beer parlours etc, flowery debates, inside info and pulling out privileged "quotes" on social media means nothing in law unless verifiable facts are presented.

So pulling out a trail of "evidence" from online sources is mere social media theater and won't stand 3 minutes of legal scrutiny.

Kalulu44:
This news has been on since over two weeks and we were told she's a physiotherapist.
Umahi never came out to say no she's not but a nurse until the association of physiotherapist denied her.
According to Umahi he wasn't at home when she died, but now again they flew together to his hometown.
The other girl said she came back after doing her and they chat and she went to her room which was the last time she saw her alive.
But Umahi said her boyfriend said she called to say she's bleeding from her nose and went to another hospital herself leaving the Turkish hospital Umahi has always paid for her just not to burden him.
So from when did she go to the hospital, when her colleague actually said she retired to her room after coming back from salon.
Abeg, many questions without answer

Kalulu44:
Nobody says he shouldn't talk to defend himself. But his talks are inconsistent and incoherent

How?

Na lie, you would only build "mansions" in your village until Indian police catch you.

Do you mean people are not allowed to spend 5k? That's news to me. I thought urgent 2k is a thing in Nigeria and minimum wage is less than 100k a month?

Love800:
So 5k daily na money?

I guess it's different strokes for different folks. Like I said, today's immigrants have learned a lot from the challenges of those that migrated before them. One of the beauties of today's world is easy access to information on investment choices and how to avoid huge bills and immune yourself from misery. Many rch folks are also miserable in Nigeria and are indebted to banks.

On losing your kids to the system abroad, it does happen but again there is a new wave of consciousness going on among immigrants and the kids are not left out. I guess, the good side of sharing roots with Tems, Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Anthony Joshua, etc is not lost on the younger generation. They are doing way better than previous 2nd generation immigrants.

Nnamdipapa:
That was me too. I played tennis every evening abroad, ate in different restaurants every single day, swam and saunad three times a week, and had memberships in various community groups and clubs. That did not stop the huge bills from getting yanked from my bank account every month. It is over there, you see, rich immigrants who are miserable. I was a banker and saw the account statements of all these people who pretended to be successful and what they had to do to get to where they were at the time.

People in Nigeria are still successful, and we invest too, plus I feel happier here with my kids. It may well be my own personal opinion, but in the end, most immigrants are guaranteed to lose their kids to the system abroad, that i am 100% certain about. That was one of my biggest reasons for japada. It would be totally unfair on my part to have them uprooted from their roots and Africa and put them out there where they have to question their origin and indentities. I do things different than most people.

That's a way to look at it but not the only way. Some people simply choose to live very simple life abroad, understand the system and even make good investments abroad. I know several Nigerians with no single credit card, they work just one job, they play football and tennis with other Africans, right inside America,. I even know of a group of Nigerians who were at Spain vs France match in Arlington, Texas yesterday despite the cost, these are about 20 people, all Nigerians and they are regular working class American citizens.

These are personal choices. People even have investment clubs where they learn and invest little but consistently in the US stock market. Nigerians abroad are no longer sticking with the traditional approach of living like a visitor abroad.

They get their citizenship and they learn how to leverage it to their advantage.

Nnamdipapa:
Japa good, my brother. It should be to make money abroad, get citizenship, get foreign education, make meaningful connections, start a business or career you can work from home anywhere in the world, and then jejely relocate back to Nigeria and come enjoy everything. Five years of staying abroad should be enough to get all these things in order, and you can always travel back and forth.

What I would not recommend is getting stuck abroad, staying for 10 years and over and, sucked into the system of bills and paying taxes. It is a very brutal system where everyone walks on eggshells and is not sure of what is going to happen next. You are sure to lose all your kids if not very careful, as they get groomed by Western education. You have to always learn to take the good out of every system to find a way to benefit yourself and your family.

sonssyo:
guy hustle dey abroad oooo, a friend just came back from london,story full ground, working for 3 days for 200 pounds, she couldn't finish a day job self,she run.

nah laugh i take finish her, e no easy ooooo

Can she survive real grind in Nigeria for 3 days?

There are jobs everywhere in Nigeria but many can't handle the grind. Uneducated hustlers make 3k, 5k, 10k daily in Nigeria while many graduates are begging around. I saw a YouTube documentary on Maroko, an elderly woman said she makes 5k daily profit from her dried fish sales but the hustle is tough.

Your information is accurate but the guy being an average Nigerian decided to override a working system. There is a reason for such laws but a typical Nigerian is carrying unnecessary loads on their head.

If you japa, take time to understand your new environment and blend in. Ordinary Burger flippers in America take trips abroad on vacation and go on boat cruises. Oyinbo no too stress themselves, find coupons, seasonal deals, off season tickets, and company vouchers etc. You will have loads of fun if you just slow down and understand your new system.

Gentledove2001:
Lies no one works 3 straight days in the same company, I mean 24 hours for 3days. If is in the uk, it is 100% impossible.

Thank you.

No matter the hustle or your location, at least 7 hours of sleep should be targeted. Also, vitamin D level must be checked while food rich in magnesium is always a priority.

Nicotinekills:
You don't joke with sleep.
The body is wired to repair itself with it.
The organ that enjoys the effect of sleeping is the brain 🧠.

No matter what you do, aim for 7 hrs every day
