PHIPEX:
If anyone reads this they will think you have the interest of Innoson at heart. Isn't it foolishness for Nigeria's biggest news agency to badmouth Nigeria's biggest car maker because of 1 bus out of thousands of buses that were made yearly?

What do they intend to achieve?

And what would lead you to conclude that I don't have the interest of Innoson at heart?

Someone took out their money and patronised a company. From the story, you can clearly see that they have a history of doing such, which makes them loyal customers. Now, the company has messed up a couple of times and the persons buying from them are unhappy.

But to you, the company should not be faulted, rather the entity patronising them should be faulted. Okay, since it is now clear that this entity means bad for Innoson, according to you, I hope Innoson will refuse to do any further business with them?

As to what the News Agency intends to achieve, peruse what they are going through:

The Agency’s Head of the Technical Department, Aaron Miller, said the vehicle since delivery had been permanently grounded due to a faulty gearbox.

He said several appeals made to the Innoson Abuja office to evacuate the vehicle for repairs were ignored.

“We made several representations to them to repair this faulty gearbox all to no avail.

“On the three occasions their technicians showed up to ostensibly repair the vehicle, the problems persisted, causing embarrassment to the agency, ” he said.

Would you prefer they dragged Innoson to court??

Kajaard:
I agree with this post 100%💯🤝

You agree with this post 100%? Post that interprets 30 seater bus as 30 units of buses?

Did you read what you agreed with or you rushed to agree out of some sentiments??

Ogonimilitant:
You paid N49million for 30 units of buses.
Which is less than 1.3m per bus. This is how you want to patronize your country.

Innoson was founded in 2007
Toyota was founded in 1937
And you want Innosson to be like Toyota. The government of Japan funded Toyota why innoson started and funded itself from the scratch.

The government of Sierra loan bought vehicles from Innosson and have not had any problem but Nigerians instead of supporting their own brand keeps marketing their brand because he is an Igbo man.

Obi is coming and Nigeria shall be great again.

You saw 30 seater and wrote a whole thesis on 30 units.

You people scare me.

Instead of encouraging Innoson to do better, you are castigating those who are actually patronising the company. Funny isn't it? Meanwhile, can you share any screenshots of your Innoson, or other Nigeria-made vehicle?

Naira20:
This looks like one of those APC amateur Photoshopped pictures.

You don't need to be intelligent to know it's a lie.

Its not photoshopped and its not a kitchen either. Its a kitchen sink where the wash-hand basin should be.

Click on the reel.

JAMO84:
Everywhere you see Peter Obi Supporters, they must ask you useless questions like: how much you dey buy fuel? Suffer no dey taya you? Etc. I still don't understand what gives them the confidence that PO is different from any typical Nigerian Politicians. I think they always forget that the man has a track record that we can reference. Track records like:


- Increasing tuition fees by 150%
- State's ASUU strike for 8 months
- Doctors strike for 13 months
- Did not conduct LG election for 7.8 years
- No any landmark infrastructure
- Increase IGR by only 18% in 8 years
- Alleged nepotism by favoring Catholic sect
- Invest state's money in Family business
- Aide caught with 250m cash in Lagos
- Did not disclose his Panama assets
- Wanted to be godfather to Obiano...

At most, Peter was an average governor, nothing exceptional about him.

You forgot how Anambra's poverty levels were at 20% before Obi, at 14% after him, but above 50% throughout is tenure.

NwekereNdoki:
only a bigot thinks everytime is about tribe.

People has listened to Obi and believed i his message.. but here u are thinking Igbos have this grand agenda to use others to become president.' SMH.

PO earned any support he is getting by living an upright life.. while in government and outside government. He shared his idea of good governance at the platform and since then the rest is history. no be person say make ur candidate get questionable character

Bigotry won't do u any good

Isn't that hilarious?

When we tell you people that you are clowns you feel offended. But weren't you the one who introduced bigotry into the debate?

Rest oga.

LocalStandard1:
For a moment let's remove the fact Peter Obi is Igbo. For a moment let's not even consider tribe, cos that seems like the only shot they use against him. Not corruption, not greed, not wicked, not incapable. Tribe!

As a Northern Christian, whose grandfather fourth in it the civil war. whose grandmother was almost killed for being mistaken for an Igbo together with her siblings, no one is yet to still give me a credible reason to not support Peter Obi.

So I am asking, why shouldn't we support Peter Obi, why do you hate or dislike him?

I know Reno Omokri is a Nairalander, I also know quite a a number of the oppositions' prominent people are here. I know plenty people are paid to dismember his image here too.

So convinced me and the majority Nairalanders who are with Peter Obi, why shouldn't we support him? Why should we hate him?

NOTE: I used the word "hate" cos I have rummaged through the internet, interacted with people on and off line but no one has brought out any real reason to dislike him, so it most be borne out of blind hate.

I think your premise rests on a conflation. Not supporting Obi does not mean one hates him.

Now, most of the Obidients as they call themselves are an arrogant lot with a hateful, violent disposition. Many people hate them for those reasons.

Peter Obi himself is okay. I might vote for him when it comes down to it, but that does not mean I won't oppose any Obidient misbehaving.

I owe them no loyalty and will not tolerate their bullying of other Nigerians.

NwekereNdoki:
BTW, I don't have time to engage any bigot.

People supporting Obi are those who believe in his incorruptible character not cause he is from SE>

Look who is talking about bigotry. You? SMH.

No doubt, there are many outside SE who support Obi because they believe in him but time and time again it has been shown that you people do not respect them one bit. They are but a tool to achieve your goals.

Obviously, I have made no insults, against any tribe. I love all Nigerians and all African equally. It is rather those who seek to galvanise followers on the basis of tribe who are the bigots.

Meanwhile, we await the special instructions, so-called, for the non-Igbo Obi supporters residing in other parts of Nigeria.
Shall we agree that if such is not forthcoming, you are a liar, and your principal and his proxies are indeed the bigots?

NwekereNdoki:
Kanayou O Kanayo is the cordinator for SE. ANd like I said, he has every right to advice people from his zone to vote where they are.

He is cordinator for SE. Let that guide you. Cordinator for SE, he is simply addressing his audience and his responsibility

Coordinator for SE means coordinator for Igbos only? Meaning non-Igbos in SE are not covered, and only the Igbo outside SE are relevant.

I always have this little amusement for non-Igbo people that carry this Obidient thing on their heads. If only they know how you guys really see them.

mayo47:
Nigeria is where it is today because of people like you that refuse to pay attention to granular details and always quick to generalize

Nigeria can never be where she is today if she had just 3 of me at the helm of affairs.

You see, I, unlike you and miss Oby, do not care one bit for granular details such as tribe and ethnicity.

If not for these factors, tell me, what relevance does the fact that Atiku did not head the specific team named Economic Management Team, have on the true gist of his statement?

He was merely demonstrating his economic prowess and if everything else he said was correct, other than the specific name of the Economic Management Team, whereas he managed the National Economic Council, which is obviously superior, then what are we debating here?

Do you really love your country?

Temptee101:


Keep sniffing dirty, contaminated pants.

National economic council is different from Economic management team. Ode!

What does Apitu know about the economy?

Young man go away and be useful to yourself.

This is irrelevant. Did he head the Constitutionally mandated Economic Council? If yes, then he headed an economic management team, if not the particularly so-named economic management team.

Next!

NwekereNdoki:
WHo is his proxy.

Kanayo O Kanayo is instructing the zone he is responsible for to stay and vote.

And so what? SO should Igbos not stay in the zone they are and vote?

In one breath asking who is his proxy, in another you are mentioning Kanayo. So you know who the proxy is abi?

Of course, Igbos can stay and vote where they are. But why is that addressed to Igbos alone? You mean there are no non-Igbo Obidents in other regions that should also stay and vote?

One thing that will help you Obi group is to understand that no one outside your group will fall for all this. Some things are very obvious so deny all you want, it will only alienate those who are on the outside looking in.

Mikalaika:
OBI has performed magic with Labour Party. The fact that all of the opposition parties are talking about Labour Party shows that they are probably the biggest threat to them.

I never really believed that LP would do well in this election. The way these politicians in PDP, APC, NNPP etc are now focussing on them is making me to see a realistic chance for OBI/DATTI. It is unbelievable.

Kwakwanso spent some valuable time to talk about LP on a platform that he should use to canvass for votes.

If they didn’t pose any threat, they won’t be on the lips of the heavyweights, especially APC.

But it's obvious he was responding to the question he was asked.

NwekereNdoki:
Kwankwaso is a bigot.

The reason he called Labour Party sectional Party is obvious.

He has said it before that an Hausa man will not vote an Igbo man, SUpporting bigotry.

PHD in the mud.

Has Peter Obi not consistently said he does not want to be seen as an Igbo president?

He does not want to be seen as an Igbo president (of course he would say that), but his proxies are instructing Igbos to remain in place across the federation to vote. Really?

drtwist:
This is huge! The only reason I won't japa this year is if this guy is elected. This is really our last hope of trying to get things right at the same time letting the political class to know the power of the citizens

Let's assume Peter Obi is honest and competent, and he wins.

What will change in your day-to-day conditions? The problems of Nigeria are beyond the man at the centre, except we revert to true federalism, which Obi doesn't seem interested in, nor will he find it easy to achieve that with a hostile Legislative branch (from federal to state level).

CaptainAyub:

Apparently, u don't live in or near Abj.
The Gbagyi who are Abuja natives,what is their religion?
Has buhari or his APC ever won Abuja b4?
Last elections, remember it was 2 Fulani muslims,now Obi is the only Christian among the 4 top runners.

lol.

Everyday northerners troop into this city en masse. Do you know what Gbagyi sounds like? Nope. But you hear Hausa everywhere don't you?

You are talking about Gbagyis - go to Bwari their ancestral home where a Hausa is now the recognized traditional ruler.

Open your eyes.

Jennyclay:
I'm still trying to figure out why people like this man so much . I this have never liked this SP Benjamin Hundeyin for once.

He's indirectly telling his boys to start killing innocent Nigerians. Well, I hope they start from his family.

Justice for Bolanle!

Did you read the OP??

He is talking about something that happened yesterday madam!

Quest7777:
The key phrase here is When Faced with Danger.

The officer that killed that female lawyer, was he faced with danger?
Or the officers that kill because of refusal to pay N100 bribe, were they faced with danger?

Try to understand the topic at hand so that you don't go off point.

CaptainAyub:
���
Those abokkis who set fire on people's goods do not own a common mat in Abuja talk more of having an apartment talk more of having a voter's card.
Na for mosque,market stalls,anywhere dem see na im dem de sleep.
Hope U know buhari lost in Aso rock polling unit last elections,lost Abuja Municipal and also lost the whole FCT.

This is not last election sir. Go and look at the results btw, APC gave PDP a hot chase and clearly, the PDP advantage was the combination of Atiku and Obi.

That base has been split, while APC's 150k plus votes from the last election will likely be eroded only marginally.

kcnwaigbo:
Oga APC has never won Abuja.APC zone ko ADC zone ni

Learn to analyze things as events unfold. I said Abuja is an APC zone as at today.

It is obvious. Even in 2019 when Atiku and Obi combined, APC still gave them close marking. Now that Obi and Atiku have split the old PDP base, the race is open to the popular candidate.

Based on the popularity of the Muslim - Muslim ticket among the northern Muslim elites, my postulation is that the Muslim north will eventually rally behind Tinubu.

azpekuliar:
Abuja, APC zone?

If you could articulate your thoughts better, one might be able to address the source of your confusion.

Deprofessional:
Obi will win the following northern states

1) Plateau state
2) Benue state
3) Taraba state
4) FCT
5) Nassarawa State
6) Bauchi state

He will do well in:

1) Kogi
2) Kaduna
3) Adamawa
4) Niger
5) Gombe


Now tell me which state your sick demented drug lord will win in the North

Obi can't win Abuja. He will do well but Abuja is the seat of the ruling party obviously and completely dominated by northerners. That's an APC zone.

If you want to test this, just look at the recent dei dei market riot and how the Igbos were overpowered, with weak response from the police.

Hendrixky:
Okay after the elections we will know

From your statement it means obi is supposed to win two state from yoruba side knowing fully well that he is the vibrant, healthy and best candidate...not a deing old man

If it doesn't happen know that Yorubas are tribalistic

Okay. We'll be watching. If Rabiu Kwankwaso doesn't win at least 1 Igbo State that will mean Igbos are tribalistic. Or let's put it simply, if no non-Igbo candidate wins at least 1 Igbo state, then Igbos are tribalistic.

Agreed?

Hendrixky:
Haha

Looks more like the cry of a baby

Yeah

Racoon:
Hausa-fulanis promoted and foist the disaster called Buhari despite knowing his worst antecedents. MURIC and Yoruba Muslims says none of them will vote for a Yoruba Christian.

Tinubu supported Buhari despite saying Muslims should only vote Muslims.The Islamic clerics in Kano that openly said the APC Muslim Muslim ticket combo shows the supremacy of Islam has not be invited for questioning or arrested by the DSS, NPF, Nigerian Army. So Igbo pls vote Peter Obi. Nkea anyi bu nkea anyi.

You must be a hypocrite. Even Tinubu said "emilokan". Or you don't know what that means? Man is a tribalistic animal. This is why there is still racism despite the promotion of global interaction, cooperation and integration.

Does MURIC speak for all Yoruba Muslims? Abi when did Yoruba Muslims come out to make this statement??

You people can justify whatever you want but you should know that if it comes down to voting by tribe, Obi will indeed come third.

Be careful what you wish for coz you just might get it.

Hendrixky:
Religion is not even our problem


What is eating us is tribalism


Yeah

Buhari was ill and we were all the entire nation both yorubas igbos clamouring for a healthy
vibrant and strong Osinbajo to take over from him...or Buhari should just hand over to him


But now why is yorubas clamouring for ill and sick tinubu to become president again after what we went through in the hands of sick Buhari

Knowing fully well that a vibrant and healthy obi is contesting

Which means the problem of this country is tribalism

Indeed, the problem of Nigerian is wicked tribalists like you. There are millions of Yoruba supporting Peter Obi, yet you want to paint all Yorubas with the same brush for the purposes of making your own tribal argument.

Definitely, on the balance of the evidence, Yorubas are the least tribalistic of the major three tribes in Nigeria.

Chiefwhip001:
I suspect foul judgement in this case,
Meanwhile, the killer of that lawyer has not been sentenced till now.
It is well.

This case started since 2018 sir.

BluntTheApostle:
How come there was not one single Igbo casualty?

There was actually - though just 1. Lt. Col Arthur Unegbe was killed after refusing to join the plot.

Elliotwaveforec:
Why are Black South Africans lazy? Why am I seeing Whites everywhere? Are there no Blacks in SA again?

Even in sports outside football, you can hardly see Blacks.

These units are built on the expertise of old apartheid-era soldiers and police operatives. The whites you're seeing are most likely instructors, and in one of the videos you can see an entire 3 rows of black police officers only.

WannaHowzit:
Gruelling physical training

In order to be considered, candidates are put through gruelling physical fitness and strength tests and have to be able to complete:

A 3,2-kilometre run in boots, long trousers and with a rifle within eighteen minutes;
Five uninterrupted, consecutive pull-ups (palms forward);
Sixty sit-ups in two minutes;
Thirty-five consecutive and uninterrupted push-ups in one minute; and
Ten twenty-five metre sprints in sixty-five seconds.

Swimming

The following activity must be completed to demonstrate acceptable swimming competence:

• An unassisted 200 metre swim in dark water, such as dam water, adopting any swimming style.

Endurance

The following activity must be completed to demonstrate acceptable endurance capacity:

• A fifteen kilometre walk carrying fifteen kilograms in three hours.

And if you think that is hard, it is just the beginning.

None of this is hard - perhaps swimming 200m in dark water maybe since I am not a great swimmer. The rest, even in my state of semi fitness, will be a breeze.

This class of people always amaze me. Yes, the common man on the street has a lot to be angry with Nigeria for.

But not Deyemie Okalawon.

Deyemi is one of those whom Nigeria has done well. Yes, he's an actor and there are movie industries everywhere. He can try other African countries -- unfortunately, none of them is as big as Nollywood.

He can try Hollywood or even Bollywood, but unfortunately, they're not likely to have a place for him.

Deyemi has Nigeria which offers both a huge platform and a special place for him. Yet, instead of marketing the country well and focusing on its benefits, he still wants to rant because everyone else is doing it.
