Stop Comparing Aeroplane With Housefly...

It's either some people were too young or politically naive at the period Asiwaju held sway as the Governor of Lagos State and Peter Obi as the Governor of Anambra State.

Better still, let us pardon them; some of them have not been to Anambra or Lagos. As for those who were old enough and have been to both States, I will say ignorance and bigotry, at times, could make one rate Niger Republic over Nigeria.

How on earth would a sane person be comparing Tinubu of Lagos and Peter Obi of Anambra. What sort of warped comparison is that, for God's sake! It's like comparing America with Chad Republic. They are thousands of miles apart. They are just poles apart!

In 1999, I was a 200-level university undergraduate, studying chemical engineering in LAUTECH. I was politically involved and active at that time. I knew how Asiwaju administered Lagos, so also for Peter in Anambra when he took over from Dr Chris Ngige.

Asiwaju Tinubu laid a solid foundation for good governance in Lagos. A foundation that the successive governments of Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu built on. Records are sacred. They are there for everyone to check.

Asiwaju created lasting and enduring institutions of governance. Institutions that outlive Asiwaju administration. LAWMA, LASTMA, LAMATA and the LCDAs are some of the examples of institutions founded by Tinubu of Lagos. They are still there till date in Lagos.

Asiwaju brought about ingenuity and innovative ideas to revenue generation in his State. Lagos State did not change its name from 'State of Aquatic Splendor' to 'Centre of Excellence' for nothing. Asiwaju truly proved it.

In the history of Nigeria, Tinubu is/was the only governor who survived without taking a dime, for years, from the Federal Government monthly statutory allocation. He paid the price for conceiving the great idea of creating LCDAs. A template many states are emulating today.

While the administration of Obasanjo withheld the Lagos allocation for many months, Asiwaju of Lagos devised sound means of revenue generation and did not owe any salary. This is good governance in its raw form!

Furthermore, except we want to redefine good governance, aside its conventional meaning, Peter Obi is not in the class of Kwankwaso of Kano, let alone Asiwaju Tinubu. We know what Kwankwaso did in Kano. We have to be frank with ourselves.

Ask anyone from Kano about Kwankwasiyyah Amaana. After Lagos and Abuja, Kano is the most beautiful city in Nigeria. Kwankwaso revolutionalise Kano in the aspect of infrastructure and workers welfare. I have been to almost all the states capitals in Nigeria. I know what is obtainable in each city.

As for Peter Obi, except his followers are talking about another Peter Obi, which we don't know. If it is the same Peter, the former Governor of Anambra State, then his supporters must be kidding or trying to be overnight comedians.

Is it Peter Obi, who invested Anambra fund in a family business and was impeached by the Anambra State House of Assembly for corruption and poor performance in office, they are talking about?

Is it the same Peter Obi, who did not care about the welfare of Anambra State doctors and they went on strike for thirteen months? Or there is another Peter apart from the Peter Obi of Anambra, who did not care till Anambra State ASUU went on strike for six months?

The notorious and evil Akpuzu SARS, who was accused of innumerable extra-judicial killings, functioned and had a field day under Peter Obi administration. I hope his supporters are aware of these facts? Which Peter Obi are we really talking about, please?

Is it still the one whose name was mentioned in the Pandora Papers? Pandora Papers, for those who may not understand, means those corrupt politicians and rich men, who were indicted for running secret businesses through illegal and corrupt means. Peter Obi's name was mentioned in the illicit reports. Till today, he has not denied the scathing allegations of brazen corruption.

Tell me it is not this same Peter who started the intra-religious rivalry between the Catholic and Protestants (Anglican) in Anambra. An ethnic chauvinist who evicted Nigerians, who are non-Anambrarians, especially the Northerners, from Anambra State?

Someone who says he does not see anything wrong in IPOB's criminal activities in Igboland. Peter Obi of all people as Nigeria's president? God forbid bad thing in Nigeria. May Peter Obi never happen to Nigeria. Amin.

If Tinubu has not understood how the north operate, he would learn it after 2023. They will all vote for a northern candidate. Towards election, Kwankwaso will still step down for Atiku. But in the end, south will prevail by God's grace. #obidient

That she has made peace with him doesn't mean they are now an item.It may happen but her primary aim is to be close to her kids.No sane mom will be close by while her children are catered for by strangers.

I remember my classmate whose parents got separated and the father forbade their mom around them.She tried her all until when they got into secondary.
Imagine being in SS2 and meeting your birth mom for the 1st time .Oh the tears that day. she'd come for 2 visiting days then the man discovered she had found out where my friend was.
Nl boys grow up,everything is not sex and bashing women.

Go and save the Owo victims, save those in Ibadan forests of horror, save those on idp camps in Benin republic and save those agberos, ritualists on the roads of western states. Charity begins at home foolish adviser with numerous ills to deal with. Even if Obi doesn't win, at least we voted our conscience and we wasted our vote, how does it concern you? Ode.

I was listening to David hundeyin "lostsince2015"... mehn, Nigerians have gone through hell..

Someone's story
- Lost his job (Economy)
- 3 business fails (Taxi"depreciation", supply"inflation", import"FX"
- Lost his fiancee (poverty)
- Lost his home (rent)
- Went into farming, lost his produce (bandits)
- lost his siblings/parents (bokoharam)
- Went into bike riding, lost it to police (ban)
- went in search of a job (still unemployed)

He said he is just roaming and waiting to meet his creator..

It was really emotional, to think the statistics are even getting worse..

Fake news

Their body language doesn't seem to portray that narrative.

I think the baby was placed there as a symbol of the couple receiving their children.

As you can see, they were receiving offerings to cook their first soup.
