Mehn, this is superb analytics!
Frontpage material, no doubt

Nairaland does not like this kind of material on its front page.

Mention companies own by obi... Anufia... Like his political fraudster aspirant... Shio

He owns international franchises in Nigeria like Heinz products, Ovaltine, and South Africa International Breweries Distell.
He also owns Next Shopping Mall.

Tinubu's biggest problem would be to convince the people of the southwest to vote for him. The APC as a party has never gotten up to 60% of the SW vote and that is a big problem.
Tinubu would need to be dominant in the southwest. He needs to convince those who did not support his party in 2015 and 2019 to vote for him this time around.
This is actually the biggest task for Tinubu. If he can't get over 70% of the SW votes, it's over for him.
All opinion polls and Google trends show that it is not happening at least for now.

One studied accounting, a nice course while the other one studied philosophy a cheap course. Now choose your president if you are wise.

Only a complete fool would choose a president by his university course. A wise man would rather choose by what they have achieved post-school.
One went ahead to be a founder and on the board of many companies. He became one of the biggest employers of Labour and builder of business institutions. The other was a staff of a few companies but built nothing of his own. Who would you vote for?

thebosstrevor1:
if it is by google trend they are using to win election in Nigeria then bobisky would have been the president of Nigeria

You have a point but Google trends show what people in a particular region are interested in. A year ago, up to 3 months ago, Tinubu was more searched All over Nigeria. You should be asking yourself what changed. Why are the people of Kano, Kaduna, and Lagos no longer checking up on Tinubu? The people have lost interest in him because they see better alternatives.

As for Bobrisky, he is a celebrity, he would always get searched.

If NE and NW were more IT savvy we would have a better spread

What we see is enough for us to understand the thinking of people in those regions. Or are you suggesting that the non-IT savvy Nigerians vote differently from the IT savvy ones?

The data shows that APC supporters are regional. They only cover one language while LP supporters cut across so many languages. We see Obi's supporters dominating states like Cross river, Pleatue, Lagos, Kaduna, Kogi, and Anambra. It's not tribal rather, it's a regional force.

Says an Igbo clown nurtured from his bigoted mother's womb with endemic bigotry n chronic hate.

My boy, I don't have the luxury of being hateful. I see you as my customer. I trade in the SW' so I don't wish bad to any of my customers. You guys have been very good to my market. So if you felt I was going to insult you for your tribalism, I don't see it that way. When I look at you, I see more money in my pocket.

Of course the Holy Spirit is WORKING with all OBEDIENT members of the Congregation but the work differs that's why it's gifts are listed in the Bible book of Ephesians 4:11 as follows:

© Apostles ~ Overseers of the congregation in all the earth, it's their conclusion with God's Holy Spirit that matters most when it comes setting rules that's binding on all members of the Christian family worldwide! Matthew 16:19 compare to Act 2:42; 15:28-29

© Prophets ~ Those telling people God's decree as stated in His word.

© Evangelizers ~ Preachers of the good news.

© Shepherds ~ Organizers of the Christian family worldwide.

© Teachers ~ Those teaching members within the Christian congregation.

Of course contradicting views may come up on rules that's binding on all members {Act 15:1-2} that's why we have the Apostles (Governing Body) who has the final say that all members must comply with throughout the earth {Act 16:28-29} after this we all agree on what the spirit of our God concluded with them, that's how we have the same line of thought globally {John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10} and whoever feels he/she is wiser than them must be shunned! Romans 16:17

That's why Jesus said:

“I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you. But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you. I leave you peace; I give you my peace. I do not give it to you the way that the world gives it. Do not let your hearts be troubled nor let them shrink out of fear. John 14:25-27

Christ Jesus laid this foundation {Matthew 16:18-19} all those claiming believers or worshipers out of this arrangement can't unite as God's people! Luke 11:23

It's really simple, The Apostles and Prophets of God would not give you wrong explanations of the scripture but your church is giving you very wrong interpretations. This is why you need the spirit to teach you wrong from right. You need the spirit to identify the apostles and prophets of God.
My point remains since we don't attend the same church, your church interpretation is not what matters but the right interpretation.

It is the man that owns the child...not the woman..

Opke

Oga, you are clearly living in a lost world. First children are not property. In the world we live in, a man does not have anymore rights to his kids than a woman. I advise you to wake up from your lost world. And yes, tell your daughter and sister to remain childless because no one married them.

TrackerXL:
It's amusing when igbos nurtured with endemic bigotry and chronic hate start lecturing about tribalism.

A fool can open open to claim he owns Eiffel tower or even the stature of liberty. You shouldn't have waited after nysc to have your first property in Lagos, you should have acquired from your the womb of your tribalistic bigoted hate filled mother.

Oga this was yesterday's topic. No so the thing dey your body.
Please find another topic to discuss today. Like I said I can't hate you. I wish you well so you can keep buying from my shop.

MaxInDHouse:
My friend you're a worker of lawlessness!

The first century Christian congregation can all read the scriptures each by themselves but a body was established by Jesus Christ known as the Apostles {Luke 6:13} it's whatever they concluded that's binding on all members of the church {Act 2:42} that's why Jesus said whatever they bind on or loosen on earth will be granted in heaven {Matthew 16:19} this is what made all the congregations have the same line of thought {1Corinthians 1:10} just as Christ Jesus prayed to his father! John 17:22

That's why you can't interpret that scripture at Romans 16:17; 1Corinthians 5:12-13 & 2John 10-11 because there's no way you can interpret these verses without complying to the conclusion of the first century Apostles and their modern day brothers GOVERNING BODY of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.
That is what is bound on earth that the heavens have bound and loosen on earth that the heavens have loosened. Matthew 16:19
God's Holy Spirit is not the author of confusion {1Corinthians 14:33} it only help each Christian to quote and cite related verses when needed and how to respond efficaciously during times of persecution by faithless people {Luke 12:12-12} but when it comes to rules that's binding on all members of the Christian congregation globally it's whatever the group serving as Apostles agree upon with God's Holy Spirit that's binding on all! Act 15:28-29

Actually, you are wrong. The Lord poured out his spirit on the Christians and he promised them that his spirit would teach them all things.
All Christians are entitled to the spirit of God. Without the spirit of God in your life, there is no difference between you and any other religion.
Do we need human teachers? Yes
But our greatest teacher is the spirit of God.

WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS! Matthew 7:21-23

So in other words you're not ready to uphold God's word so you won't be blamed for keeping the standard of your God!

I uphold the word of God not the words of a church. That's the difference between you and me. I do not ask any church to help me interpret a verse. I have God's spirit to teach me all things. There is a difference between you and me.

MaxInDHouse:
So are you honest at all?

OK, present your church interpretation of what God's word says at Romans 16:17; 1Corinthians 13:12-13 and 2John 10-11

Tell me how true Christians can apply what is written in those verses if you're not a lawless individual as Jesus foretold about religionists claiming believers today! Matthew 7:21-23

Sorry, I do not represent a church.

MaxInDHouse:
So it's not JW laws but what is WRITTEN in God's word for all law-abiding and faithful servants of God to comply with!

Let's just be honest here, it's not God's law but you church interpretation of God's law.

sonmvayina:
Ok, encourage your sister to take up the option..

No insult intended oh..

My sister is married with kids if she were not and she wanted her own kids I would encourage her if it is her decision.
And you should encourage your sister and your daughter to remain single and childless. I guess this settles it.

MaxInDHouse:
It's not JW laws but what we all agreed upon before getting baptized as members of the global family. So she remains the wife to the man and mother to her children but all other JWs will no longer relate with her as a member of our global family and this will affect her husband and children because when i am with one of her children or husband i must take my leave immediately she comes around since the scriptures says i must not greet her! Romans 16:17; 2John 10-11

interesting

sonmvayina:
Why would any woman even consider it?

Genealogy is only transferred from father to son.
So which story will the woman tell the child when he/she comes of age?

Lie upon lie upon lie..

Spiritually speaking only men where commanded to get married. Women are not obliged. This is because a man needs a woman to be complete while women come complete..

The woman has no need to lie. There are millions of kids who don't know their fathers and grew up to be perfectly ok.

@True2god.

Are you really true to God? If you are, you would have studied your copy of the bible and you would have read and understood where God told His followers, through Paul thus :
1 Corinthians 5:11 — The New King James Version (NKJV)

11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

A Christian would know this command from God. The question you need to ask yourself is why is it that you, who most likely identify as Christian, did not know that God commanded you not to associate with and hang out with someone who claims to be Christian and practice any of the above things. If you had known , you would not have put the blame on " The 8 so-called 'elders' in Brooklyn Street NY, the headquarters of the JW".

Though you did not mean to, you effectively blamed God for administering "poison into the psyche of His followers".

I have maximum respect for the JW. They teach ONLY what is in the scriptures, no matter how difficult it is. They simply teach what the bible says without adding or removing. They believe the scriptures to be the word of God and hence do not think they have a right to be selective on what they believe from God and what they do not believe.

Let me ask you a practical question. If your wife breaks the JW laws and she stops being a member, would you and your kids also isolate her and stop relating with her?

Isn't that what I said?

I own malls in anamabra n also own estate in Abia so you see why pathetic Igbos like you should worry more about your Igbo state because like it or not Lagos will always take care of itself

Just imagine an home owner talking rubbish like you do. If we ask you for prove now you start acting like a lunatic.

There are actually Igbo who own malls, businesses, and property all over the SW but you don't have any reasonable number of Yorubas doing well in the east so We see the SW as our football field. It's a very important region to us. So we don't have the luxury to be hateful like you. I wish you well so that you would have the money to keep buying from my shop.

You can own whatever you like. Lagos is as much an Igbo state as Anambra. It probably has more Igbo population and defiantly has more Igbo investment than any other state. So use all the abusive words in your tribalistic dictionary but you really can change nothing.
I got my property in Lagos just 7 years after NYSC. I have done business in every single SW state. I can bet that I know the SW much more than you do. Several Igbo boys that came to Lagos with nothing are today buying lands on the Island. My advice to you is to forget your unproductive tribalism and get serious about life.

COMPAQ:
Cargo is the manstay of most rail lines around the world. i cant say for certain that Lagos Ibadan( on to Kano when eventually built) would make a profit, but worst case the loss will be far less.

Focus on cargo is the way to go!

Better still to get there quickly, the train service should be privatized. Let the government retain control of the tracks as its contribution to Nigerians, while the locomotives are taken over by the private sector who pay to use the tracks. Similar to how airlines and airports are.

You can't say for certain if you don't have data.
Anwer the following questions, how many containers travel from Ibadan to Kano daily? How many containers travel from Kano to Lagos daily.
What would be the cost of moving one container? Without data, you can't say anything for certain and if you have lived in Nigeria for a while, you should know that corruption must be factored in. Simple put, it's a bad idea.

Alexxx2000:
It's a long story but I will try to abridge it.

My mom raised I and my brother of 5yrs old single-handedly. There's a separation in the family so we're shuffling the deck. She's an hairstylist with meagre wages.

My dad was never part of the family. They both separated because of infidelity and harsh treatment. Since then, my dad, I guess erased our memories from his life.

I must confess, she's trying but the bills is weighing her down. My little brother was to start school last year but we couldn't pay for fees but after saving, we decided to put him in a cheap school close to the house.

Now, my mom want to stop us from bearing my father's name. She mandated me to change mine as well to her own dad's name.

Yesterday when I returned from the Pos attendant job I do, she brought the topic again and she said, nothing is holding her back on her decision.

Is she right for taking such decision? What will you advise me to do please?

I understand your mom's pain but then how old are you? Changing a name is changing a part of your identity. It could have an emotional impact.

TrackerXL:
You Igbos give the most foolish response to questions especially out of bigotry. Did Nigeria already not directed all it resources to Abuja for over 30 years now how is that working out for Nigeria. Is Abuja among the cities listed here or as it overtaken Lagos.

I am sure if Nigeria concentrated it resources to a wretched state like Anambra it will do even worse unlike Abuja that is growing so when you argue please be logical rather than foolish, that only expose your Igbo bigotry which I won't be helping you with here today.

Igos see Lagos and Abuja as ours so we can't be bigots when responding to issues like this. I own a property in Lagos, do you? I am a stakeholder. But then I traveled. I understand what a great city is. When I criticize Lagos, I am criticizing the Igbos, Yorubas, Hausa, and other stakeholders of Lagos so don't take it personally. I am probably more invested in Lagos than you would ever be.

TrackerXL:
WOW ! Bigotry as ruined the lives of many miserable igbos I swear.

The same Cairo of Egypt that brought about the Renaissance is what a Lagos that was created by the British a fortnight ago is now older than.

This is how endemic bigotry n chronic hate by igbos as ruined the lives of their youths. It is what you are witnessing live on NL.

How a tribe can be full of envy n hate. Should every Nigerian not be happy one of our state even made the list ? Nigeria indeed need this terrible set of humans to have their Biafra.

The Igbo's have no reason to be envious of our property. We are major stake holders in Lagos. How can you be Jealous of what you own.
Now for your education, Lagos was founded by the Portuguese not the British. It was founded in the Fifteenth century.

totit:
As much as I typed that in a hurry I am quite sure what I wrote was clear and straightforward.

Well, now, you seem to deviate and contradicted all of a sudden cos first, I was wondering how a normal person who claims kr seem to sound intelligent and learned base tbe economic growth of a country or state on that economy killer " Importation " WFT was that?

The bone of contention here is how far, so far with Lagos, how long does it take Lagos to develop into a city like you claimed developed doesn't necessarily mean the whole 80-year dooorh! And it's why I asked since the capital was moved to the north over 30 years ago what's going on when compared to Lagos in terms of development or must we wait for 100years for that to happen?


And when you guys talk about Seaport, Airport was that also a British invention, or must say the seaport is what makes Lagos develop if we have many in the country eg, South-south with airport /seaport as well?

Dude, before the British arrival we have Oyo civilization as you wrote in your early post and there was nothing like Lagos doorhh what is a tribe, Yoruba so what are you talking about? The Oyo civilization is the reflection of what Lagos is today. You can only give what you have dude.


And yes, you are wise to correct that mistake with " Importation' cos it adds no value to any economy, especially a developing country.

Hey, when we talk about Tinubu we talk about Lagos cos his blueprint is there.
Lagos wasn't the 4th largest economy before until now.

Let me make things short and easy for you, Lagos has been top four richest cities in Africa for over 50 years. Please do your research if you don't know. If you think that Lagos became the 4th richest city in Africa this year then you have so much to learn and I don't know where to begin from. Just so you know, Lagos as a city is older than Cairo. you guys should learn some history.

TrackerXL:
So what is the population of Cairo Anamabra n Adamawa why can't the two state compete with Cairo at all

That's not a very intelligent question. If we the Nigerian people invested in any other place as we have in Lagos, we would have similar results. The Entire people of Nigeria concentrated most of our investments and developments in Lagos.
