APC ward chairmen are hungry?

Where are you pulling this data from?

Overall elections even in Nigeria are a representation of the peoples wishes especially presidential elections

Which election since independence do you look at logically and without emotions that you think the result was not fair. Whatever the reasons for voting the candidate, its always a fair reflection of the sentiments of the people

Pick any election and let's debate it given the realities on ground at the time

You dey mention Chagoury and air Nigeria. Lol we cant even exhaust the ones under PDP. I dont think Emefiele at his worst matched Diezani

Not forgetting the arms deal that Dasuki stole, I personally know a senior military man under Jonathan that stole so much.. till date he still gloats about how money used to flow unlike now

What about the Malabu oil deals

Or you've forgotten the circumstances under which Sanusi Lamido left the CBN over unremitted funds from the NNPC account

It takes a short time to destroy, for example it took several years to build 3rd mainland bridge but a bunch of terrorists can put explosive and destroy it in 30mins. To rebuild back will now take longer

To be fair, it wasnt just Jonathan that destroyed it even all those before him did. We had the SFEM in the 80s. I remembered mid 90s when Abacha had official rates at N22 and selling rate at black market was N70. So many banks just had one branch to have license for forex buying and just sell to black market. N50 profit for doing nothing. That practice held for decades. That was corruption no level single individual can match

So why will Obi respect what Atiku does not?

No North turn or south turn

BlueRayDick:
U get time to dey try reason with person wey get obsession with Obi sha.

If he sleep dey see masquarade for dream sef, na Obi surely dey under the masqurade.

izzou:
Ahn Ahn

Obi again?

ADC has moved on without him, and even at that, the party has 2 presidential candidates already

Dumebi Kachikwu
Atiku/Amaechi

You are not even bothered about that. It is someone who has nothing anymore with your party crises you're blaming

larride:
Anyone can play with numbers to give a desired result.

It makes no sense to compare someone that borrows $1billion which will be 1.37 trillion naira in today exchange rate to someone like say GEJ who was borrowing at a pegged exchange rate of 150-200 which will make $1 billion around 150 billion naira.

It's only when these analyst wants to be mischievous that they mention the naira equivalent as if all of the past Presidents were borrowing on the same exchange rate.

The more important question is what the government is using all the loans for which we can't see it's impact.

BlueRayDick:
How many countries that u know within the space of 2 years borrowed x5 of what It had borrowed in its first 55 years post independence?

Saying "borrowing is not the problem" is actually a problem in itself. You don't anybody to tell u that the character and antecedents of those borrowing the funds already suggested it won't be put to good use.

BlueRayDick:
The So called Master strategist don use borrowings immerse this country into unprecedented debt. They claim subsidy removal was going to make more money available to government to spend, instead na so so borrowings upon borrowings we just dey hear with no development on ground to show for it.



How does one even defend this ?

Yes very necessary


Very essential too

have you watched MHA anime?

I’ve watched S1 in 2016 but don’t remember much so does the series worth watching again since it won Anime of the year award and I’ve seen some videos of the S8 ending too

Looking at history Nigerian voting numbers has been reducing
Total number of votes in presidential elections

2011 37m
2015 28m
2019 26m
2023 23m

So I am being generous thinking it will remain the same

Truth is a lot of people who were gingered last election wont go to vote next year.

On this thread ask the people who voted in 2023 how many will go to vote

osuofia2:
I remember when this young boy was made the president of Senegal, different quotes were flying around how he wants to make Senegal great, the funny one is how he won't be using convoy, our Nigerian people especially the obidients were using him as yardstick to judge leadership. It's been years yet no sensible thing from Senegal. Sometimes I feel something is wrong with the black mind

Ibime:
There is time for everything

Marathon is 42km, let me manage my 10km for now. I will run half-marathon later this year if I can find a good race around me, then I will enter marathon next year if the house can raise £2k for me cos marathon entry no cheap. I will have to travel abroad to get a marathon entry in another country cos everything is sold out so flight, hotel and entry ticket is involved.

🪖Federal Government asked States of the Federation to recruit Forest Guards through the office of National Security Adviser (ONSA) so they can be properly Armed and regulated, Some states including those in the South West have refused to do so.

All these are excuses. People still vote along racial lines even in America

MorataFC:
I don’t think Nigeria is ripe for widespread gun ownership. Though It may reduce some cases of banditry or kidnapping, but it will also increase everyday violence and crimes.

Many issues people currently leave for God, family, elders, or the law because they cannot physically retaliate will suddenly start being “settled” personally once guns become easily available.
Debt issues, land disputes, tribal or ethnic disagreements, relationship problems, road rage, and ordinary arguments could easily turn deadly.

Even worse, there are situations where people already feel frustrated because powerful people often escape justice. Cases where someone knows the law may protect a rich or influential person, or where a case gets to the police station and money changes everything, are examples of matters many people normally leave for God before, But once guns are easily accessible, some people may decide to take matters into their own hands instead of leaving for God or relying on the weak system

In a country like Nigeria, we are already struggling with tension, corruption, and weak law enforcement, more guns could easily bring more bloodshed than security.


I bought 3 plots of land in 2015 for close to 1 million, the same man who sold the land to me later resold it to another person in 2020.
I have not received a single naira in compensation or refund. Meanwhile, land in that same area now costs over 3 million naira per plot.
And this kind of thing happens on a daily basis in Nigeria, while our law enforcement agencies are not really helping matters. Situations like this are part of the reason some people argue against widespread gun ownership. Personally, even if I had a gun, I will not do anything, but another person in the same situation might decide to take matters into his own hands.

I hear what you said and you didnt lie. Today someone in Naija govt is saying people should apply for gun license and arm themselves. I saw a Yoruba Pastor recently encouraging his congregation to also do voodoo, Pastors and Imams used bulletproof wearing guards

A good guy with a gun is the solution to a bad guy with a gun. Any other thing na deception

Pale dem don already summon Rambo and commando to run the matter.

Muraina Mutairo, the Onisa of Esin Ele in Oyo State, was seen invoking the gods to go after the abdûctørs and ensure the safe return of the kidnåpp€d Ogbomoso school students and teachers.
