No look am like dat. These are red Indian areas. They tend to be independent enclaves ruled by the villagers. They are seen as independent nations most times with their own rules and regulations.
In most cases state or federal government need permission at times to enter these enclaves.

Atleast we don see people war we better pass

This guy is a lier. How can you be showing bank road nnewi that has been tarred since 2010? It was like that in 2001 though!

Afamed:
Obi was busy sleeping when he was a Gov for 8 years in Anambra. This Amansea is community within the state capital, Awka. Today, they are telling us to vote Obi.

The same Obi, all of them agreed that he did next to nothing when he was a Gov 8 years ago

Internet does not forget
Under Obi as a Gov, state University lecturers went on 7 months strike.

Same under Obi , Doctors in Anambra went on 13 months strike.
You dont need to go and verify. Just type 13 months Doctors strike in anambra, you will see the detail

Fellow Nigerians, read below their comments when Obi was a Gov in Anambra.

The comments were from Ndi Anambra. When of them agreed he did noting. The question is, why should we elect him as a President when he failed as a Gov of a state?

Me too. Couldn't bother to read the jargon

Penguin2:
I didn’t bother reading whatever you wrote up there because I know it’s trash just like I know it will be moved to front page.

But I’m happy that Nigerians now know that the gentle stride of a lion does not depict cowardice.

No idiot will misbehave in front of Peter Obi again, ever.

That Obi has been calm and playing by the rules of the game doesn’t mean you will do trash in his presence and go free.

But no be good thing na. E fit cause inflation or hyperinflation....

To some ignorance is bliss indeed!

lhordspy:
Those ignorant kids commenting above me think it is normal 'Ekuke - 404' (local dog) he is talking about.

Everybody na thief to them. Ignorance is surely a disease.

A normal trained sniffer dog cost almost $30,000 , talkmore of a highly trained one with many training certified certificate in upgraded device detections, nacortic sniffing, general surveillance and area clearing.

To ask for the service of a sniffer dog for area clearing just for an hour only - it cost upto $600

The highest form of ignorance is criticising what you dont know about.

Guy do u know what it means to get a dog breed capable of sniffing drugs and other contraband? Just the training is something else. These dogs after 10 or 15 years of service in the US get a retiring honor ceremony and certificate to show their prowess! They most often get full police honors....this shows u how special they can be.

Check this site out...about 15k usd. How much to import?

Just imagine!!

Even Lion no cost like this

These guys take us for fool in this country

This is a great analysis of the man if the moment. Everyone is aware a great change is at hand!




“This is a case of Goliath and David,” says Peter Obi, a long-shot candidate who has unexpectedly taken the lead in the race to become president of Africa’s most populous country. “The big people are there, but allow this small person to do it. And I know I can do it.”

As public campaigning was about to begin in late September, Nigeria was rocked by the release of three polls showing Mr Obi well ahead of the two candidates for the main parties that have misruled Nigeria since the restoration of its democracy in 1999. In two of the polls Mr Obi has a lead of more than 15 percentage points over Bola Tinubu of the incumbent All Progressives Congress (apc) and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (pdp), the main opposition. What makes this even more extraordinary is that Mr Obi is standing for the Labour Party, whose candidate at the previous presidential election in 2019 won just 5,074 votes out of 28m cast.

Mr Obi’s sudden ascent represents a rare chance for Nigeria. The country ought to be rich: it has huge reserves of oil, gas and other minerals, plenty of fertile land and a young population of go-getters. Yet Nigerians are poorer today than they were ten years ago and 40% of them survive on less than $1.90 a day.

Nigeria is poor because of rotten politics and bad governance. Its politicians have long stirred up ethnic and religious divisions by promising to direct state resources to members of their own group. Once in power they have pursued contorted economic policies such as a fixed exchange rate and massive fuel subsidies. Some policies seem to make sense only as a way of allowing cronies to siphon off cash.

Neither of the two main candidates in the presidential election scheduled for February offers much hope for change. Mr Abubakar, a former customs official turned tycoon, was accused alongside his wife in 2010 by a us Senate committee report of being linked to the transfer of $40m in “suspect funds” to America. (He denies wrongdoing.) Mr Tinubu, an ex-governor of Lagos state, had his assets frozen in the 1990s by the American government, which said it had probable cause to believe the money was linked to drugs. Mr Tinubu, who has also denied wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the Americans whereby he agreed to forfeit $460,000.

There are, of course, no guarantees that Mr Obi would break the kleptocracy that is throttling Nigeria: the country’s political system has a habit of corrupting even those who start out with the best of intentions. But if he were to sustain his lead until the election in February, he would be the first politician in decades to show that a new sort of politics is possible in Nigeria. If he is able to keep energising young, urban voters across the country’s main divisions of religion, geography and ethnicity, he may well redraw Nigeria’s electoral map. And by making this election about competence, character and perhaps even ideas, Mr Obi promises to upset the old electoral calculus, which was based on horse-trading to form majorities between politicians who gathered votes mainly among their coreligionists or ethnic groups.

Mr Obi seems an unlikely revolutionary. He is rich, like many of Nigeria’s political elite. (Unlike many other wealthy Nigerian politicians, Mr Obi seems to have made his money before taking office.) He is also no political outsider, having served two terms as governor of Anambra state until 2014. He then stood as Mr Abubakar’s vice-presidential candidate in 2019.

Here the similarities end. As an energetic 61-year-old, Mr Obi stands in sharp contrast to the 75-year-old Mr Abubakar and to Mr Tinubu, who though only 70 was recently forced to respond to widespread rumours of ill health by posting a video on Twitter of himself pedalling an exercise bicycle. “Many have said I have died,” he posted. “Others claim I have withdrawn from the presidential campaign. Well... Nope.” Mr Obi has a vigorous social-media operation with a vast, passionate following, and is strikingly open to interviews.

His surging popularity is due, above all, to perceptions of his character. In a country cursed by politicians of extraordinary ego and entourage, his supporters marvel that as governor Mr Obi queued at airports holding his own luggage. He also slashed the size of his motorcade when he found that 13 of the cars were empty, he says. This not only plays well with young voters, but also annoys his rivals. Kashim Shettima, Mr Tinubu’s running-mate, grumbles that Mr Obi “tends to glamorise poverty” by claiming to own only one watch.

Frugality is relative in Nigerian politics. The Economist interviewed Mr Obi in his suite in the plushest hotel in Abuja, the capital. (It is also one of the most secure.) Mr Obi was, however, free of the hordes of hangers-on who typically surround Nigerian bigwigs. His running-mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, is also far from poor.

Matters of trust

When asked what distinguishes him most from the other two major candidates Mr Obi replies: “Who can people trust?” He promises to deliver and not to steal. Yet he too has faced some questions over his financial affairs. The Pandora Papers, a large set of leaks to the press of records from financial companies, revealed that Mr Obi owned an undeclared offshore company in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven. He also reportedly failed to declare all his assets or immediately relinquish control of all his companies, as required by the law, upon becoming governor. Mr Obi claimed at the time that he did not know he had to declare assets held jointly with his family and that he did relinquish control of the company in question, but that an error meant it was not enacted for 14 months.

To try to show that the money in those companies was earned before he entered politics, Mr Obi pulls out stacks of letters from his bank in London showing the extent of his lines of business credit in the 1990s. In any case, he argues, his rivals are very rich, too. “What is their source of wealth?” he asks. Context matters. “Relative to the field…he is a saint, more or less,” says Ebenezer Obadare of the Council on Foreign Relations, a think-tank in New York. Though that does not necessarily make him “clean”, he adds.

Mr Obi also wants to run on competence. He emphasises that he left a fiscal surplus to his successor as governor—a rarity. Anambra’s score on the Human Development Index, a measure of income, education and life expectancy, was falling when Mr Obi entered office in 2006. It bottomed out by 2008, with Anambra ranked eighth among Nigeria’s states. By the time he left office in 2014, Anambra had leapt to third place, trailing only Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital. Between 2006 and 2012, Onitsha, the biggest city in the state, was in the top 50 of 750 cities worldwide for the rate of private-sector job growth, according to the World Bank.

Mr Obi is disappointingly less keen to emphasise his proposed policies as president. Still, improving security is his “number one priority”. It ought to be. Over the past eight years under President Muhammadu Buhari, jihadists have terrorised Nigeria’s north-east. Violence in the south-east, often attributed to Igbo separatists, has surged, as has crime. Last year some 3,400 people were kidnapped across Nigeria, many of them for ransom, according to Jose Luengo-Cabrera of the un.

To restore order Mr Obi promises to expand the security forces and equip them better. He proposes giving states and local governments the power to have their own police officers, rather than rely solely on federal forces. He is willing to talk to armed groups with political demands, such as the Indigenous People of Biafra, a separatist group in his own south-eastern region.

When it comes to the economy, his instincts appear liberal. “There is a lot of government involved where the private sector should be,” he says. Nigeria’s petrol subsidies will eat up more than federal spending on health, education and welfare combined. Mr Obi promises to get rid of these handouts. Yet the Labour Party has close ties with unions, many of which have repeatedly opposed subsidy reform. “I’m not going to make promises I’m not going to fulfil,” he insists. When it comes to the currency Mr Obi’s liberalism wears thin. He would not let the naira float freely, though he says he would allow the official rate to move closer to the black-market one. He at least wants to give the central bank more independence after this was eroded under Mr Buhari. He also promises to ease trade restrictions and support the African Continental Free Trade Area.

Frugality also shapes his attitude to debt. “We want to borrow strictly for investment, if need be—if at all!” he says, criticising Nigeria’s rising debts to China. Yet thrift alone is unlikely to solve Nigeria’s many problems. Federal-government spending is just 6% of gdp. Even with more efficient spending, there will not be enough cash to tackle the country’s enormous infrastructure needs. Increasing Nigeria’s paltry tax take is crucial, but goes largely unmentioned by Mr Obi.

March of the Obidients

Can Mr Obi pull it off? His supporters think so. “I am an Obi-dient man,” laughs Kingsley Onwe, a trader selling tomato paste at a street market outside Abuja. Mr Onwe is not advertising general deference to authority. “Obi-dients” is the nickname for Mr Obi’s supporters.

His rivals are, however, dismissive. “We’re not bothered about him,” says Dino Melaye, Mr Abubakar’s campaign spokesman. The vituperative attack that the former senator launches suggests otherwise. In his telling, Mr Obi is a “deceptive character” who has a “plethora of allegations against him”. He adds that Mr Obi “knows himself that he cannot win it but he sees it as an avenue to make money.” Should your correspondent want to talk more about this topic, Mr Melaye (who enjoys posing with his collection of Ferraris and Lamborghinis) leaves his business card: a metallic-gold one that looks like a credit card.

Even if the polls are accurate—the large share of undecided voters suggests the outcome is still in flux—Mr Obi will have to clear several hurdles on the path to becoming president. The first relates to the rules. To avoid a run-off, the winning candidate must not only have the most votes, but also win more than 25% in each of at least two-thirds of the country’s 36 states (plus the capital). Doing so, admits Mr Baba-Ahmed, may be challenging, particularly in ten northern states that tend to swing for northern and Muslim candidates. (Mr Obi is a Christian from the south.)

Mr Shettima, the ruling party’s vice-presidential candidate, is also dismissive of Mr Obi’s chances in the north. A former senator and the previous governor of Borno state, he suggests asking northerners about Mr Obi, saying they will think “he is either a musician or a footballer”.

In fact, many northerners your correspondent spoke to knew who Mr Obi was, despite his lack of local muscle. On the streets of Kano, the biggest city in the north, enormous billboards of Mr Tinubu and Mr Abubakar loom large and Mr Obi’s image is all but absent. At his Kano headquarters a broken billboard was leaning against a fence, and no one but a toothy guard was present. Yet some polls show him running second in the north.

Even so, Kano illustrates a second risk for Mr Obi’s campaign. The Labour Party he represents will not have candidates on dozens of ballots for seats in the Senate or for 130 seats in the House of Representatives. This means it will have to persuade voters to break with habit and cast their votes “skirt and blouse”: backing one party for president and another for the other races. Moreover, the party has few members, no state governors and just one senator. Usually governors and senators help funnel cash (both legitimately donated and less so) to campaigns and rustle up the tens of thousands of party lackeys who go out to persuade, bully or bribe people to vote for their candidate.

Mr Melaye of the pdp explains with disarming frankness why these structures matter. “In every catchment area you have people who are the owners of the voters,” he says. Mr Baba-Ahmed puts a brave face on the Labour Party’s weakness, saying that it will allow him and Mr Obi to govern cleanly because they will not be beholden to bigwigs. Even so, they have to win first.

In a bid to do so, Mr Obi is trying to tackle vote-buying head on. “I tell people every day, the money people are sharing is just stolen money, it is not their money,” he says. “That’s why people are dying in hospitals. That’s why there are no roads.” This election will be a test of whether the old way of doing politics has been superseded by one based on individual choice and direct appeals to the public.

The third risk to Mr Obi’s campaign is outright rigging. Mr Obi himself plays down such fears. Recent reforms to the vote-counting process should make ballot-stuffing harder this time. Yet Mr Baba-Ahmed is “not confident” the vote will be free and fair. Some activists share these concerns. Ayisha Osori of the Open Society Foundations, an ngo, thinks the ruling apc will try to depress turnout in areas where Mr Obi is strong. Doing so could spark conflict. “If they decide to humiliate [Obi] and have a blatantly rigged, violent election, I’m really worried about what people will do,” she says. Mr Obi himself brushes off the idea that his supporters might react angrily to a defeat. He is simply focused on winning. “I’m saying I’m better, I’m saying I can do it better,” he insists. “Trust me.” Right now at least, many do. ■

YourBestWriter:
Guys good morrow to you all.

So it's going to be my 39th birthday next year and I still don't have one Kobo in my bank account. Still under my parents roof and no job. In a scale of 1 to 10, what are my chances of making it in life?

Build n put the fence below

Eriokanmi:
Too bad. Please my people, even if you can afford a swimming pool, for the sake of your joy...your children, don't build one.

If you must take them out for swimming, please engage an instructor. Kids are God's priceless gifts. This isn't good news at all and I hope people would learn from this unfortunate incident. The other day it was Dbanj's son. This careless habit must stop please. Swimming pool in your home isn't by force

U mean something like this?

N3TRAL:
D'banj lost his first child under similar circumstances in June 2018.




A week before the tragic incidence, D'banj posted a video where he walked with the boy past the pool and the boy was staring at the pool with curiosity.

A fan on Instagram told him to cover the pool immediately because the way the boy looked at the pool showed he was willing to jump into it when he had an opportunity. The fan's comment went unnoticed until the uneventful happened.

You can never perfectly watch over toddlers if you're human. I remember swallowing a screw as a 5-year old under the custody of my mother. Luckily, I vomited it on our way to the hospital.

When that baby sees the pool and notices that anytime he wants to go swim you stop him, the baby in his little mind strategizes and plans all day to find the best time to run inside the swimming pool without resistance. The toddler most likely knows he can sneak out to be in the forbidden pool but doesn't know that water has enemies.

There's what is called Childproof designs. Even if you have the best nannies around, the best practice is to build Childproof facilities when raising infants. Just like bulletproof vehicles come to the rescue when human security personnel fail, Childproof infrastructure prevent fatality when human nannies fail.

This should be the straw that breaks the camel's back . Facilities that pose no risk to children should rank higher than luxurious facilities in the scale of preference of parents with little children.

My thoughts and prayers are with the parents of the deceased.

Has he made u or ur brother?
He is making his family members and friends and not some one not in his entourage. Had it bern he was making the son or daughter of mirafu or bello or ashishat then i for believe

skyoboy:
Asiwaju dey pepper us
You have made people, I hope those people can help you achieve your dream.
God bless Nigeria

U can marry her since u guys are not blood related. 2ndly u did not grow up together. It would still be awkwardif u grew up together thoughnot related!

udofia234:
A friend!!! Not me

This is where i knew he was lying. You cannot allow the market to set the pump prices. Even in other climes the market can never be allowed such freedom. If you try it some filling stations will sell a litre at 1000 naira when there is scarcity.
There are always government guidelines to regulate prices!




Tinubu will remove the fuel subsidy and allow the market to set the pump price, according to his manifesto. The savings made by the government will then be allocated not only to health and education but also infrastructure and social welfare projects, it said.

This guy no get sense. 1st off the discussion peter obi had was at Cambridge university and not london.
2nd he meant 60% of those to be employed were to be Anambrarians. Obviously no sane person could think he meant 60% of the state population.

You must be a joker thinking you can go physical with her. Even if your father was around he could not go physical on her. You do that 2 things will surely happen...
She might press charges against you for assault or you strain your relationship. Who go de help you and pampering you?

I blame your sister for spoiling you with money for you to now outgrow yourself to challenge her.

Mr man call your sister and talk to her gently. Ask her why she no keen to marry. Maybe she has been dealt with or disappointed by some sharp guys in the past. What if she starts going physical on you for not being successful at your age?








Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.[/quote]

Pse digest this, if you have time.



As a priest, I do not have a wife nor will I have a child. I do not have a car of my own. The car I received after my ordination, I gave it back to my congregation as I was leaving for Malawi.

I literally do not even owe myself. My superior can wake up any day and decide where I should go.

From Abuja to Lagos, from Lagos to Malawi, from Malawi to The Gambia. . . These have been my movements since 2015 when I was ordained. I chose none for myself. I only obeyed when I was asked to move. Even my book is yet to be published because my superior must first give permission.

My Dad is late. He died 6 months after my ordination. I did not really get to spend time with him after my ordination. He was in Abuja and I was in Lagos for missionary work.

Any way you want to look at it, I have sacrificed my entire self, my will, and my intellect. So, when I talk about Nigerian elections and the need to put the right candidate, the direct effect of your bad choice will not be on me as a person.

As a priest, a one-time dean, a parish priest, and one who is in charge of all Catholic schools here, what to eat is no longer my problem. I can enter any Catholic parish in this world, and I will be welcomed. If I fall sick, the church will take care of me.

I am not even sure if I will ever be posted to work in Nigeria. And if I die right now, my only worries will be those that love me that will be heartbroken. If not, death won't have been much of an issue to me. I have overcome the general fear of death. Christ died at 33. I am over 36. So you see, I am not too young to die.

Added to that, I do not want to be rich in the sense of having so much money in my account. No! I don’t pray for riches, rather I pray to have a rich life.

When it comes to money, I just want to have enough to take care of my normal everyday needs and to help others if possible.

In Abuja, I have a king-size bed. In the Gambia, I have the smallest bed in the world. I don't care. I can sleep anywhere because once my eyes are closed, nothing matters anymore.

I want good governance in Africa, and in Nigeria in particular, because for more than seven years as a priest and ministering to people, almost everything people pray and fast for can be traced to the failure of government/leadership in their countries.

People pray to God for a job. No! God does not give jobs, government does.

People pray for admission into schools and promotion at work. No! God does not give promotion or admission, government does.

People pray to have cars, houses, visas, etc. No! God does not give houses, nor cars, nor visas. . . Government does. Your colleagues in the Western world don't say those prayers. . . Why?

People pray for good health. This is a good prayer, but it is relative. If you don't eat a balanced diet, you will have kwashiorkor. If you drink bad water, you will have typhoid. If you don't see food to eat, you will have an ulcer. If you get bitten by mosquitoes, you will have Malaria. If there is no hospital to give you good medicine, you will die. Even missionaries that came to bring the good news, most died of malaria. It is not about abracadabra. Even as missionaries, God did not save them from dying of malaria. So you see, everything is still the government.

With good governance, road accidents will drastically reduce. Hospitals will be better managed. The Big Brother Naija housemate that died of an accident, did you not watch how the people were even making videos of him when he was unconscious and in need of urgent medical assistance? Did you see the doctors and nurses acting like it is an emergency? Go to National Hospital Abuja, or Specialists Gwagwalada, the story is the same.

I do not know about you, but go and check the number of those registering for IELTS, GRE, TOEFL. Check those in immigration, looking for a passport. Check those in embassies queuing every day looking for visas. They all want to leave the country. Why?

Your Doctors are all leaving the country. Everyone is leaving. There is no light. The traffic is crazy. Everyone is a law. This is why the popular word in Nigeria as of now is Japa.

Why are Americans not Japa-ing?
Why are the British people not Japa-ing?
Even South Africans don't Japa. . .

But Why you? Why always you?

Simple, your country is totally messed up.

Yet you have not collected your PVC. You are even planning to vote based on tribe or religion and not based on competence. And you think you are doing me? You want to vote for rechargeable candidates so they will be traveling with your money to recharge their batteries and come back to tell you to shut up?

Do whatever you want to do, but don’t take sides with your oppressors.

Pity yourself.
Pity your kids and grandkids.
Pity your innocent neck bearing the heavy burden of carrying your kind of head around.
Vote wisely!
Vote competence!
Don't be an Ewu Gambia!

See what a unifier is saying...he is not even telling them that he will make their lives better...i tire for naija


By Adegboyega Adeleye


he presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has restated the reason why his fellow Northerners need to vote for him in the 2023 Elections.



The former Vice President said Northerners need to vote for him rather than a Yoruba or Igbo candidate because he’s a Pan-Nigerian with a northern extraction that has built bridges across the country.

Atiku made the remarks while responding to a question posed to him by the spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, during an Interactive Session With Arewa Joint Committee held on Saturday in Kaduna State.

Vanguard monitored the event which was transmitted live on Arise TV.

When Baba-Ahmed asked Atiku why Northerners should vote for him, the PDP presidential candidate replied, “What the average Northerner needs somebody who’s from the north and also understands that part of the country and has been able to build bridges across the country.

This is what the Northerner needs, it doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate, I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of northern origin.”

He also said he knows every part of the country and if elected as Nigerian president in 2023, he would form a government of national unity.

“I have traversed the whole of this country, I know the whole of the country, I have built bridges across the country”

Alhaji Atiku also answered questions about ecology, the economy, women participation in politics, and others.

Several groups like the Arewa Consultative Forum, Arewa House, Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, Northern Elders Forum, and Arewa Research and Development Project, among others are the organizers of the interactive session.

Na wa for hackers. Why dem go hack am write any how message on his page...


Former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas has deleted a tweet that said he was gay - saying his account was hacked.

Casillas tweeted in Spanish: "I hope you respect me: I'm gay," before his former Spain team-mate Carlos Puyol replied: "It's time to tell our story."

ADVERTISEMENT

The tweet was live for more than an hour before being deleted.

Casillas later tweeted: "Hacked account. Luckily everything in order. Apologies to all my followers."

The tweet added: "Of course, more apologies to the LGBT community."

Casillas split from his wife Sara Carbonero last March. They have two children.

Before Casillas' initial tweet was deleted, Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo, who came out last October, criticised Casillas and Puyol for apparently joking about coming out.

"Joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing," Cavallo tweeted. 

"It's a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ people have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful."

Few high-profile current or former male players have ever come out as openly gay in the sport.

Earlier this year, teenager Jake Daniels became the first professional in the UK men's game for more than 30 years to come out while still playing.

ADVERTISEMENT

The 17-year-old Blackpool player said the decision would allow him to be "free and confident".

Casillas, who retired in 2020, joined Real Madrid aged nine and made 725 appearances for the club during a 16-year career at the Bernabeu, winning three Champions League titles and five La Liga crowns.

He moved to Porto in 2015, winning two Primeira Liga titles and one Portuguese Cup, but his playing career ended after he suffered a heart attack during training in April 2019. He later joined the club's coaching staff.

As well as winning the 2010 World Cup, he helped Spain to two successive European Championships in 2008 and 2012, and won 167 caps between 2000 and 2016.

From all you have said i did not see any reason why you would not help your brothers. How did you help them before? Is it by giving them 2k here or 10k there? That's no help...you can do that to a friend or even a neighbor!
To help here brothers so that they can stand on their own do these:

Let them learn a trade then you settle them.
For those that want to school sponsor them if you can.
If you can also sponsor them overseas.

Furthermore you can get them a bus for transportation business or bolt...

Helping us by changing someone's life for the better not giving them chicken change!

Tell me any Yoruba commissioners or any political appointment in Anambra under peter Obi. Since 1999 Igbo have been appointed in political office in Lagos state. Who is more nationalistic?

U did not read at all!

nazicartel:
Sometimes I reason if I think differently ooo. My reasons for voting Obi is because I think he's better and younger than the rest. My second option is Tinubu because I was thinking the north has ruled for 8yrs through Bubu. So why will they rule for 8yrs again. And I was thinking with a southern president, the security issue might reduce and the fulani herdsmen always running inside barracks after attacking people will also be curtailed. But coming to Nairaland and twitter I see people talking about voting for Tinubu because they are Yoruba. If we toll this line. That means Tinubu will lose comfortably because the system doesn't favour him.

Did u read the post?

jerseyboy:
Leave Nigeria alone and join YORUBA NATION

I hope my daughter living with my friend will be a good idea.

I haven't told my sister anything yet .




My dear i support you 100% on di above.
Take your girl to your friend. Do not tell your sister yet. When you are sure of the above just tell your sis you want you kid to spend a few days with your friend. She will never go back to your sis! Na small small she go collect her clothes.

You see, most Nigerians do not realize life is tough in Europe. They think you pluck monies from the street. Is she not married? They are so ungrateful and cunning. Goodluck dear

I tell u. Let us try something else and see if there would be a change. The suffering in the land is too much.
Obi should be given a chance...

NaijaRoyalty:
Obi will make Nigeria great again

Keep your job and let him move alone first. When he is settled you can then move to meet him with the kids.
Also, you could stay put and Job hunt in his town first before you relocate....

Good evening everyone, thank God for life coz that alone is indeed a great blessing.

I will be brief with my post here i promise
Indeed i have seen life at its worst....

After mourning my husband i decided to leave my city Kaduna to begin a new life with my kids,yeah a boy and a girl.

I started from the scratch here in Abuja, from lesson that paid not upto #6000 to a school that pays #20,000 and presently am working in a school that pays not less than #50,000 all these boils down to my hardwork and perseverance and above all God.

Alright this the main ishhh, i met this single, understanding and loving guy that have already paid for my dowry and wedding is coming up November this year

Now my fear..... We love each other, he loves my kids so dearly we have been together for almost 2 years now that's why he decided to move the relationship further.

Ohh yes, i said my fear, his currently a job hunter ?

we thought things would get better before the wedding but Nigeria got no chill sincerely so now i have to leave my job and follow him to his city where he base so as to help him with his little business hoping things would get better.

So now my question, Am i doing the right thing by moving to his city or i should continue with my job and wait till he gets a better job??

Adding that his in his mid 30's and willing to settle down.

Please my people advice me. Or if you can help him pass through this stage of life, blessings will follow you.....

He is a graduate and lives in Zaria. God bless you all.

Between sorry for any blunders or typo error, am just seeing double

We are still looking for dirt or bad deeds on Obi! We can not find any thing negative on this man...what kinda Nigerian politician is this?

He has a vital point though....muric o mean
