If Obi sees 5% in NW and NE, he fought the political battle of his life. Lol.

Christians in the NE and NW make up more than 40% of the demographics. PO can make 25% of that population if you include right thinking Muslims.

Are you a local yahoo boy? I guess you're not

Education is a scam was a cruise statement invented by local yahoo boys. These boys don't know how to write or even speak English but re collecting thousands of dollars from oyibo people, it works for them because they carry juju (Oki ite, udu Ako mmiri and others)
They just copy and paste from the already written format gives to em by their Oga, they can't type on their own, only the thing in that format and client will be paying. I have seen em well well, even in banks, they can't fill any form given to em by bank workers, they will call the gateman working in the bank to fill for em after they will settle em. They're the ones that invented that slogan "school nah scam" because they're collecting money oyibo people that re learned without difficulty.

So how can undergraduate in a university believe that slogan and was asking it as a question to a presidential aspirant. If the questionare believe that slogan, he should sharply drop out and become keyboard warrior. Obi is not an educational therapist, that question should be directed to his professor.

Tinubu's own re important issues the country is facing (insecurity, oil theft , economy, any presidential aspirant is a must to know how to tackle em.

Obi's question that he delegated is about "school nah scam"

Thank you.

There are questions meant to be answered by a presidential aspirant.

It's like somebody asking Peter Obi the definition of osmosis. A reasonable candidate should redirect the question to the appropriate quarters.

Asking a presidential candidate about 'school na scam' is a silly question for the moment and Peter Obi earns more respect in redirecting the question to those who should be responsible.

It is lack of sense to use that as a fallback to the irresponsibility of Tinubu.

The most annoying part is that those who claim to be neutrals fell for that stupidity. That they fell for it simply exposed them.

You cannot support Tinubu and not be stupid.

The guy genuinely sounds like a nice guy whose intentions are just misguided..
How on earth do you successfully escape the country due to bad governance and it's effects yet dedicate your time to retaining the terrible status quo you just escaped
It makes no sense at all!! Like at all!!

You ran away from your country because things are bad but rather than wish for things to change and get better, you dedicate your time to ensuring that the bad situation you escaped is maintained. I just don't get it.
These abroadians are something else.

Mu-Mu candidacy is responsible

So the minute I ask about Obi delegating I must be a BAT supporter?

Donjazet2:
I said that we must shed our primitive thinking and adapt not go backwards. You phrase it like I'm saying we would absolutely fail if we don't.

I'm saying our adaption and evolution will only continue, that's a fact. Not us going backwards to start highlighting individual tribes.

India has 2000 ethnic groups but most of them adopt English and or Hindu. That's how they move forward.

Language divides us. But what makes nations to collapse is religion.

Nigeria is not just divided by language but also by religion. More interestingly, the religious divide is along geographic and ethnic lines which makes us the more unique compared to other multilingual and multireligious societies.

If we don't come together now and regionalise, a breakup is very eminent.

A001:
As things stand now, only Ibo and Yoruba tribes want to leave the union and form Biafra Republic and Odua Nation respectively.

If Nigeria breaks up, the major tribes will accommodate the minorities. Even there are minorities in some of the countries formed from the Soviet Union.

The tribes that can't coexist should go their separate ways.

The smallest tribe in Nigeria has more population than Vatican City, the smallest country in the world by population.

However, I prefer regionalism to outright breakup.

Still, I predict Nigeria will experience regionalism or breakup in the future.

I agree

Our campaign DG that wants to take back the country from the old order.

You are celebrating like someone who just caught his holiness pastor fornicating.
It does not make you more holy.

He should serve his term though. I hope those other thieves in APC and PDP should also be convicted.

raumdeuter:
I like your ways and how you give creative excuses when you're shown evidence of worse things happening in the SE

When talking about other regions its because they are easily controlled

When talking about SE with similar or worse evidence it's because elections are rigged, they are chameleons


Oyo went to AD to PDP to ACN to PDP its because they are easily controlled.
Enugu has been with PDP since 1999 its because they vote on credibility and don't follow sheepishly

Presidency Oyo has voted AD PDP APC PDP. It's because they are easily controlled by one person

Presidency Enugu has always voted one party PDP. It's because they follow credibility and don't follow sheepishly

So they don't rig in other regions or chameleons don't exist in other regions

These evidence are there right in your face

I am not disputing your view based on the examples you give. Things aren't as absolute as you take my points to be. There are exceptions and generalities. Generally, SEners don't not follow an individual. You can go and verify.

larride:
So kindly tell us why APGA has been winning Anambra election since 1999. Soludo that ran under PDP lost but when he contested under APGA he won.

Tell us how PDP has been winning Abia election since 1999. Orji Kalu won on PDP platform before creating his PPA and his stooge Theodore won under PPA before moving back to PDP and Ikpeazu from the Orji Kalu camp still won the third time.

Tell us how PDP has been winning Enugu election since 1999

Tell us how PDP has been winning Ebonyi election since 1999.

We all have the time, please lecture us.

Most of those have been rigging elections.

There are some few elections in the SE that were not rigged and we know the outcomes. Like Rochas, Peter Obi etc.

That of OUK though free and fair, but the people wanted him.

Another point you need to be aware of is that, some politicians are like cameleon. They are saints when contesting but become thieves once they get there. Eg Rochas

raumdeuter:
So Ikpeazu Chime TA Orji, Mbadinuju Elechi, Obi Obiano are all credible? Are they more credible that the governors in SS, SW NW or NE?

Credibility is relative here.

The main point is that they don't follow anyone sheepishly. You have to convince them. Unlike other places where someone can control the entire political space of the state or region.

So unless the election is rigged or legal powers are used, you can't win elections in SE simply because you belong to a party or your godfather.

raumdeuter:
Have you seen the quality of governors since 1999. Ohakim TA Orji, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Chime, Mbadinuju Obi, Obiano etc are all judgment based on credibility?

Anambra has voted APGA for the past 20yrs straight, Enugu Abia Ebonyi have all voted PDP whether na devil dey ballot for the past 24yrs

Probably once you are in APGA in Anambra you become credible and once you are in PDP in Abia Enugu Ebonyi, you become credible

Most of the time the bad leadership are products of bad systems. Sometimes it's the electoral process (Ohakim, Uzodinma etc) sometimes it's the loss of credibility of the individual (Rochas), sometimes the judgement leads to apathy and the highest rigger takes the day. But Igbos don't support a person unless they consider him credible.

Amoto94:
Nigerian elections are not fought and won on Twitter, although social media is certainly a factor, especially for young people. But overall, elections are won by effective structural presence and mobilization at the micro levels st polling units, mainly in rural areas. Kingsley Moghalu

If you know Igbo people you will know that loyalty to an individual is almost forbidden. Igbo eweghi eze. They won't even vote for Peter Obi if they don't see credibility.

I have personally been on the streets in the SE regions. The major challenge facing Obi is actual turnout. There's a lot of voter apathy here. But if they do turn out, it's one way traffic. And the fact is right now, the only hope they have for a better and inclusive Nigeria is Peter Obi. There is genuine trust. If you enter bus and say one thing against PO you will see the backlash.

You may see the crowds as they can be easily mobilised. Igbo man nor send anybody, even including PO- Igbo eweghi eze. When the time comes they know who to follow. They base their judgement on credibility.

A001:
I choose to reply my mentions any way I like.

I read your post and see intelligence.

Don't reply those mentions.

You should know you have triggered something when you talked about the barbaric and senseless acts of religion.

Corrinthians:
Sabotours at work. No force on earth can stop the good works of Ohamadike Mazi Simon Ekpa. He will come back stronger.

All Sabos will pay the price for their actions. No price is too small to pay for Biafra. The zoo must burn.

If you know this you will know that Simon Ekpa is not fighting for Biafra, he is in fact fighting against Biafra because he is being used as a political tool by those sponsoring him to destabilise Biafraland.

If he is sure that he is fighting for Biafra, let him send his boys to fight Fulani herdsmen killing people in Enugu. Then we can listen to him.

iamoyindamola:
Continue to preach it to them, some mumu have hijack the argument to blame Islam instead

You see, if people like you and OasisX don't speak out, people will tag it to Islam. The secondary effect is that not just Islam will be affected but all religions will be considered as evil.

When the likes of Atiku who should be educated enough to speak up, are afraid to do so, it's even more shameful. Many political leaders of Islamic extractions are guilty of this, either due to politics or mere religious bigotry.

nihilistjnr:
What crime is worth the Death Penalty?

Is blasphemy a crime?

nihilistjnr:
Take to a court so that he can be tried sir.

You seem to have forgotten that courts also acquit people.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Amoto never said Deborah committed Blasphemy.

He also said he supports the death penalty for anyone convicted of Blasphemy through the court system.

So what's the problem exactly?

That's why I asked you if you support the death penalty for any reason - because if you do, then you really have no point.

Stop playing the emotional card here.

The point is if blasphemy is worthy of death penalty. It doesn't matter how or where the conviction comes from.

Is blasphemy worthy of death penalty?

akwesenana:
After all has been said, religion, the poor man's opium, is one of the biggest problems of the society.

Nelson's performance yesterday is worthy of note. The guy has really improved even in his goal scoring.

His goal yesterday suggests he is really hungry for stardom

But there's no death penalty for blasphemy. Especially without trial.

When is Obi going to address the killings in SE?

In 2023 when he becomes the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Insha Allah.

Your current president has failed in that regards that's why you are calling for Peter Obi.

OasisX:


..... this is like a Case of Yams Sellers at same location;

Yam Seller 1: Don't buy from him. His yam don spoil, he don rot inside. We no even know where he carry am from?

We no know how dem take plant am, that yam no go sweet. E go dey poisonous sef.


Buyer: What about your own yams?

Yam Seller 1: Thank you very much for that question. I believe in consumption to production. I bought my yams from China because Chinese are excellent farmers.

In 2001, Chinese farmers planted and sold 500m tons of yams to Africa, and Nigerians are the highest consumers.

In 2010, Indonesia bought also from China, but now planting their own yams. Today they are 3rd largest Exporter of Yams in the world.

Nigeria must copy China, Northern Region is blessed with vast arable lands. We must invest on it and stop importation.

My yam is from China, but I will plant yams and help farmers in the North to grow, moving our yams plantation from consumption to production.

.......................................................................................

Yam seller 2: Kindly buy from me. I get my yams from best farmers in the North. Organic manures were used as fertiliser, hence its so safe for consumption.

You can stock it in much quantity, I guarantee you, it won't spoil based on my experience and track records in stored foods Management.

Buyer: What about your competitor's yams, anything to say about them?

Yam Seller 2: Not at all. I have no business with his stock but mine. If you wish to buy yams here today, E gbe kini yi wa, Emi lokan sir.

Please patronise me.


Buyer: I need 2023 Tubers of Yam and I am buying from you.

Nice analysis.

Just that you didn't include the Bula blu babablu part.

[color=royalblue]I am not saying we are doing well. Let's even look at the ones we are compared with

Healtcare

Lagos has approx 3000 health care centres, for a population of 15,880,000.
Thats about 5,200 persons to 1 hospital

Zimbabwe (Not Harare) has 300 hospitals. If i divide this with the population of Harare (2,000,000), It gives 6,000 persons to 1 hospital

So why is Harare ranked higher than Lagos in healthcare?

I am not saying we are doing well, or our polices are good. But that list has a lot of injustice on it[/color]

First of all I am not all about whether Lagos is the worst or not. My major concern is that Lagos being the most populated city in Nigeria is on that list at all.

Using Harare, Zimbabwe as a comparison for Lagos, Nigeria already tells the story.

Nostradamus1:
Exactly. Lagos is the worst City in the World.
Is Aba a town suddenly?Is Aba better than Lagos?

Sometimes,I wonder what is wrong with some of this foreign media. Lagos is not the worst in Nigeria not to talk of World.

For the person who continues insisting that Lagos is bad enough, I think you are making a mistake of Generalization. Lagos City not Lagos State is the number one city in Africa(Economy, Environmental,GDP,Life expectancy,Tourism).Just like Enugu City is different from Enugu state


NB:Iyana Ipaja is not in the Lagos City Enclave.

The biggest city of each country was used as the metrics in the survey analysis.

Lagos was used the same way Algiers was used in Algeria. Algiers isn't the worst city per se in Algeria. Those cities represent the differential breakdown of the effectiveness of government policies on the living conditions of people around the world.

It's so simple to observe.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am not bothered if Lagos made the list.

My concern is that if a Nigerian feels Lagos is the Worst City because it made the list, what about Aba, Ilorin or Sokoto? Are they better than Lagos?

Do you understand my point?[/color]

I get your point and you are right in your assertion as Lagos is not the worst city in Nigeria.

But you need to get the context of the report.

The report was not a comprehensive assessment of every city in the world. The selected cities were the biggest cities in each country where the largest population reside. One city per country.

The importance of such report is that it provides a representative sample of how effective government policies have been in terms of infrastructural development, economic balance of wealth, climate, crime control and general well-being.

What it means is that Lagos as a microcosm of the entire country shows that our government failed compared to other governments in Africa. Their policies failed. Very poor.

Godwin4444:
so u are blaming tinubu n atiku despite d fact that simon ekpa made it clear there won’t b election

When u are ready to face the truth then your problem will b solved

Simon Ekpa is political. One of the politicians is using him, that at least is clear.

IPOB have already dissociated themselves from this fake sit at home the first day it was announced.

Also, the burning of INEC offices is nationwide, so this one is Simon Ekpa working for political miscreants. And who else can we suspect if not either APC or PDP?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I have found the link, and IMO, they don't know what they are saying.

But well...I rest my case [/color]

https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/here-are-the-5-worst-cities-to-live-in-africa-according-to-a-report/wdjccp8

Off course they may not be absolutely correct but that won't mean Lagos should be the best city in Africa. We should be concerned Lagos made the list at all and not just that it's the worst as stated.

It would have not been any different if Lagos is the 5th worst.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Well, i really am interested in whatever they used.

They could have simply said most polluted city, and maybe it would make more sense.

But tagging it "Worst city" means they have checked environmentally, economically, and other factors, to come up with the WORST

Imagine Douala, being rated better than Lagos. Douala wey my guy migrate, run come back[/color]

Like I said in some of the metrics pollution is given much attention. For example One can say New York is worse than Amsterdam. Though New York beats Amsterdam in terms of infrastructure and all, but the level of pollution may carry far heavier sanctions that overwhelms the others.

DREAMHOMES6970:
Baby girl better oil dey your head. My thoughts as well. Y suddenly this monsters are attacking only INEC Offices in all the eastern states. Their plans will never prevail. Simon Ekpa or whatever he is called truly has people filling his pocket for all this rubbish. This whole shit is political

Off course it is political. The main IPOB have dissociated themselves from this sit at home right from when it was announced.

Simon Ekpa must be working with political motives and sponsorship.

One thing is sure, don't trust APC.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I just want to know what was used to define Lagos as the worst city to live in Africa.
[/color]

I think the commercial capitals of countries was used.

Even at that, despite the level of exposure to infrastructural development, factors like environmental pollution can make Lagos worse than a city like Birnin Kebbi for example. Gradings most times give high precedence to conducive environment than even social amenities or presence of infrastructure like skyscrapers or bridges.
