Ask him what his foreign policy statement is.

Ask him what his long term plan for security and defence is. Remember they once told you Boko Haram has been technically defeated.

Ask him what his long term plan for education is. Remember your Education Minister went to UK to bring a foreign university to set up shop here.

Ask him what is the country's national strategic plan. All Nigerian governments had one since 70s.

Renewed Hope Development Plan (2026–2030): Unveiled in February 2026, this plan marks the next phase of national development, emphasizing inclusive growth, sub-national competitiveness, and climate resilience.

Did you notice something about the national plan under Tinubu? He personalized our national plan as a party slogan. It's all about him. Selfish and self centered.

The man loves to personalize things. I remember how some state facilites in Lagos were named after him. When our national plan sounds like a party slogan, how do you expect the country to adopt it🤡

They don't understand that there is a line to be drawn between politics and governance. You don't turn a national agenda to hero worship just as you turn our national anthem to on your mandate.

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.


But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.


“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.


Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.


“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.


Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

"Everyone claims to be democratic but not everyone is faithful to his or her word. We have governments that are democracies on paper, but not in function. They are democracies in form but not in substance. We have governments that only know democracy primarily through breaching it"

Observers note that the engagements underscore ongoing intellectual exchanges between Nigerian public figures and leading global academic institutions.

Our newspapers have been notoriously lazy with AI in their reports. I wonder what their editors do.

Kingsley34:
Unrelated but I think women genuinely respect men that are sexually perverted.

Perverted thoughts are pervasive with perversion. Any decent woman who was well raised knows what to avoid. Any decent man who was well raised knows what standards to hold.

People end up with their own reflection. If all you broadcast is appetite, don’t be surprised when it answers you back in kind.

Cousin9999:
People who don't think this is an issue, what happens when you have a bunch of people who don't know they're related?

This is what happens when people only think of their noses now but not the smell they would perceive in future.

Great transition. The new CEO is an Engineering graduate with BSc. If it were in some country they will expect a him to possess multiple degrees, including an MBA and PhD to prove that he is competent for the role.

I agree with your sentiments but I want you to know that technical qualifications is not necessarily the same as management experience. One is the doer, the other is the manager. I prefer a manager who knows the business, understands the business and has emotional intelligence than one who is a bright bookie without emotional intelligence and knowing how to manage people. Without the people, company is gone.

Even in academics, a very intelligent professor is not necessarily a good administrator. It doesn't mean the smartest professor will be the VC. He is just good in one area of study, not management or hands-on experience.

I remember these words from Tim

olioxx:
But then some men actually appreciate the physical features and would love for some emotional, social and core intelligence.

At this level, it is not every man that is thinking, I believe we think at base level and some of us call it fantasies but it is simply animal instinct in us. I can't justify cheating but this is one reason we have greed, you want to see how this one feels. You want a tall one, a short one, a big one, a small one, some will even go for someone with 6 fingers. That's why we have limits as human beings. That's why you can't determine what people go for and what they choose. The other day the presenter Nkubi made the news because of his dwarfism. Some people want that, and unfortunately the reality of life is that these things will fade. If the person who is tall gets into an accident and is now on crutches or wheelchair, will the person who loves them tall meet them at their new height? 🤔

olioxx:
At the bolded you are very very very correct.

You see the Ayra Starr body type girls, they are spec anyday anytime.

Moderate in every area. Now crown it up with caramel skin and leggings style legs, that's a blast combo.

But then some men actually appreciate the physical features and would love for some emotional, social and core intelligence.

Also I dont understand women that think artificial enhancement in any form is attractive, gosh it isn't.

I love it all natural, same way I barb clean low cut and trim my stubble beard is how I want my women to be natural.

Abeg plait all back I dont mind, wear plain no branded tees, clean natural color trousers or fitted skirt. Go easy on the earrings, I prefer studs.

It's not even too much to ask



Humans tend to appreciate what they dont have, or what doesn't come easy.

In the case of bum/butt/bum bum, the female have it bigger than the male due to hormones which triggers storage of fat and omega3 in that area which in turn is helpful during pregnancy, child birth and caring for the little ones especially when backing the baby.

Also it's visible to the human eyes as well. One truth I want to spill today is other women notice their fellow women bumbum, infact they jest amongst themselves about it. Even till today I jest and compliment my female friends bout their ass, cause even they themselves love their asses big.

So I also wanted to add, for those Chinese where the body part in most places is generally slim, what do they appreciate? 🤔


About your last paragraph, I just appreciate over time that we are still animals Especially when I watch animal wild documentaries and see how other animals behave and we do the same thing. 😂

Your bolded is the reason why people need to appreciate who they are. It affects many women. What they see and want to become. A man who doesn't have 6 packs won't kill himself for that. Men too get jealous but I think it comes differently. For instance, some short men go to the gym to compensate for height. Also, there is some science to the idea that women look up, which makes them likely to choose a man taller than them. It is a form of natural security even if the guy may be weak but he has height advantage.

Cousin9999:
Here's a quote from an article on evolutionary biology and why males are attracted to big butts:



https://news.utexas.edu/2015/03/19/mens-preference-for-certain-body-types-has-evolutionary-roots/

Is this what makes boys at puberty start recognizing this body part they used to ignore before they reached that age 🤔

About the woman's hips and weight during pregnancy, yes. Anyone who's seen birth delivery will recognize how even a slim body starts to change so when it's term, the body does its work. Another reason why VVF is a customer to those who put young girls in family way early even if they've started developing beasts but you know, this world is wonderful, back then, some girls got pregnant at 14 etc. Back to your story, it's funny that the female body had always been one of discussion in history. Abroad, you see women and their bodies sculptured... All of a sudden, fashion moguls sold the false narrative of slim to sell their products and use young women for trade until they are ready to dump them.... In South Korea, the beauty standards is a ritual that people go through surgery for it but in South Africa, a big butt is everyday life. I've ranted enough. My question to you is, is there a biological reason why men tend to look at a woman's behind just the way they see her front?

Could you please include the link/date/publication of the article that you quoted.
That would make it worthwhile to share further. Thanks.

₦100m not ₦70m. Expression of interest ₦30m, while purchase of form ₦70m, total===₦100m. Really democrazy.

Yeah, I pretended as if 30m means nothing

Because nomination of interest does not confirm that the party is interested. Look at the picture I put there, see how the amount has changed in 7 years!

Cousin9999:
It's biology and evolution. Big hips and big boobs are indicators of health, fertility, and that a woman can birth a healthy baby. Men react to these things without being aware of why.

Also, testosterone increases your sex drive. The same applies to women. And men who are more physically active have higher testosterone. Sunlight also raises testosterone.

Interesting. I want to read more from you. Do you mind writing more?

To be the President, you must have 70m or have people who love you to raise 70m for you. Democrazy

APC leading propaganda for Obidients 😂😂😂😂

From their Atiku defections propaganda video that has failed.. they unleashed it and tagged it Obidients
To this

I've been seeing this and this will be the new trend on Nairaland. They are trying to sew mischief and confusion within the camps by labeling Atiku group, Obidient camp, you'll soon see Kwankwaso group. Politics more than governance. We never had it this bad. At least give it 5 months to the election.

Abi, make she set the boytoy up, and even marry wife for'am later sef, then still dey show face as "mummy".
While still ordering him around o.

That is, assuming she's a rich widow...

On the other hand, the man in B will be delusional, thinking the lady will be faithful to him.

Truth is, older women are more realistic in this type of scenario.
They're hardly possessive.

So everyone is deceiving themsleves

Older women are less possessive. What about older men?

I am not and neither am I a President Tinubu supporter either.

I was just pointing out the poor aesthetics of having a subgroup within what is meant to be a united group fighting for a common cause.

They will repeat the same mistake of APC which was formed to grab power. Some of the CPC faction from APC are now in ADC. When they fall out, they will move too. We need strong party rules in Nigeria. That will help them.

Nice read. You are spot on. Women who spend on you will surely end up with you and they are most likely the woman meant for you.

Or the woman to possess you. Then you are indeed the price of the prize

BlackPantherxXx:
There's more than meets the eye regarding Atiku Abubakar's relationship with Peter Obi.

Atiku tactically chose Okowa to reinforce PDP's hold over South South.

Peter Obi is a PDP mole that will pledge support for Atiku by January 2023. He is just building momentum for now so as to capture the South East. He will disappoint his followers at the end.

Rabiu Kwankwaso will ultimately be the sought after bride that APC and PDP fight over. If Rabiu also folds for Atiku, it would be very hard for Tinubu to win.

As it stands now, in descending order....


Probability of winning 2023 Presidential Elections....

1. Tinubu
2. Atiku
3. Kwankwaso
4. Obi


Atiku can beat Tinubu if he manages to convince Kwankwaso. Tinubu has a mountain to climb because of the colossal failure of Buhari.

Obi alone doesn't stand a chance of winning an LGA talk less of a State. Atiku will beat him even in SE states who have always unfailingly voted PDP. Obi can not win a single State outside his zone. Mission Impossible.

South East have a religious affinity to PDP, even Ojukwu with APGA was jettisoned for PDP.

This aged well

Love56743:
This is not a topic but a division, good kwankwaso is politicial bigger than Peter obi politically, but now who has more electoral value between kwankwaso, last election obi won 12 states kwankwaso just won 1 state.. let us difference this thing to avoid arguments peter obi has only be a governor... while kwankwaso has been a governor for 8 years, senators for 4 years, minister of defence and deputy speaker.. but presently obi has more structure and electoral values more than kwankwaso..

It's a recycled report to cause distraction. Kwankwaso said this in 2022 and it was on Nairaland here.

At the dead sea .
Google why it is called the dead sea. I don't know if Israel is playing an intentional pun on this festival by going to the dead sea. This is wicked😭

I am hoping that the mods will push this unverified report to the FP. I want to check something.

In which category do you want to place Peter Obi and Kwankwaso together that Kwankwaso won't dwarf Peter Obi.

What an insult

You've done your best OP. Truth is bitter and it is the bitter kola you gave her that is making her cold. You have done your best. This is what men do, they can see some things and tell you the truth. Do you want to fund her fantasy or let her find her future?
