Oba is not a good location. Most of their customers are from Northern and western Nigeria. And Onitsha head bridge is the entry point into eastern Nigeria. This makes it easier from customers from other part of Nigeria

Don't you know there's a road being built that connects from head Bridge to Oba?

The road may be nearing completion now cos early 2021 when I was in Oba last they were really pushing the work.

Not a bad idea if you ask me.

scottyoloye:
The last time I checked, you guys are not among the the top three richest business men in Nigeria. You think you're better business people than the average Hausa man who prides himself in selling farm produce or a Fulani man whose herd can buy some of your businesses?

Later you will come here and start lamenting about your tribe being sidelined when it comes to national affairs forgetting that you're reaping what you've sown. The earlier you understand the fact that as vital as the human brain is, it is useless if there are no organs available for it to control, the better for you.

The fact that the Yorubas aren't into spare parts importation, livestock farming... doesn't mean they can't likewise other tribes; it's just a country practicing division of labour by default.

Trust me, you need paradigm shift inorder not to pass on this shallow mindset of yours to your innocent generation.

Finally, business isn't all about selling spare parts, building materials, and electronics; real estates, fintech, and other corporate establishments are also businesses.

CHANGE YOUR PARIDGM BECAUSE MEDIOCRITY IS CONTAGIOUS.

I don forget, VOTE PETER OBI

You jumped to the conclusion that he's Igbo cos of his statement and you're here preaching?

FYI that idiot is an Urhobo man from delta state.

Now look in the mirror and give yourself the same advice you gave him cos your bigotry sticks out like a sore thumb!

Sergio101:
Very bad. People's business




Too rash!!

Man Lagos still remain the best. Feeding many people in this nation is not easy for such a state. So all this unnecessary insult doesn't fit.

Everyone and his way Sha

I agree that auch insults are unwarranted and must be condemned.

However we must do away with such mentality that informs views like yours that Lagos is feeding many people. Those making a living in Lagos pay their fair share of taxes and continue to give their quota in the said development of Lagos?

People like you are those that pay tens of millions in naira in school fees abroad and still think that country did you a favour...or you get a job and you feel they organisation did you a favour.

It's called a mutually beneficial relationship cos if those people you think Lagos is feeding leave what happens to the state?

Wake up and dump such servile mentality.

People work so hard and give back to the state even sometimes much more than the state ever gave them!

Reality3080:
the same peter obi that nobody dare criticize even as an aspirant,I can’t imagine what will happen if he becomes president n they criticize him

Just imagine mbaka church locked up cos he criticize peter obi,imagine what will happen to people who criticize obi once he becomes d president?
They said it’s d Catholic Church that is trying to stop mbaka from talking politics but d questions are

Where was d Catholic Church when mbaka was insulting buhari?
Where was d Catholic Church when mbaka was romancing nnamdi kanu?
But the moment mbaka criticize their catholic project then he became a devil

Meaning mbaka can criticize anyone he likes without backlash but he must not touch their catholic project

If a church can b locked for criticizing peter obi even when he’s just an aspirant n he himself being a Christian,what will happen to a mosque that criticize him once he becomes d president?

First nobody locked any church but Mbaka, after several warnings in the past, has been suspended as a priest by the church.

He is not the first neither will he be the last priest to be suspended by the church.

He has been breaching the church's rules for donkey years and has had several warnings in the past. He's even been suspended before!

I don't understand how anyone in good conscience will be rooting for a Yoruba presidency after 16yrs combined of presidency and vice presidency in the last 23 years. Or a northerner after Buhari just did 8 years.

Pure greed!

One good thing about injustice and wickedness is that there's enough of that in the country to go round and when it's at your door step make sure to swallow it as a man cos nobody will come to your aid

subsidywise18:
Every country persecutes people who leak its national secrets.

Including the Chinese and russians and the usa.

As it should be.

That is starting to change especially in Europe.

MA23:
Why is this man acting this way ?
One problem with the East , they find it hard to support there own. If it’s the north no matter how bad he is, they support.

And where has sheepish support for their own kept Nigeria today?

You people say you want competence on one hand but on the other, you're so easily swayed by ethnic and religious considerations.

What you have described is called herd mentality usually found in herd animals such as sheep. If found in humans then such a people are not significantly more advanced than herd animals.

For you to think like this simply shoes one thing: suffer never tire una!

sonature1:
I think Siemens transformed power in Egypt.

I don't know what happened to that contract after Buhari and Abba Kyari signed it.

Till date, no execution.

Yes they did.

They have an energy business in Nigeria too but don't get involved in bribery and that's why they've never won any serious projects in the country (at least to my knowledge).

MODIFIED

So I checked it out and apparently there was a deal signed in 2019 for implementation of an electrification road map.

Was a significant deal for both Nigeria and Germany.

Hope it's well implemented and I believe it will be cos we're in good hands with Siemens.

Cheers.

DeleTaller:
It sounds all you pushing is Igbo president... we noticed that already.. Obi can continue to pretend like is for all... while he is mainly for the east.

last last. . nah everybody go learn so fast.

So what's wrong with that?

We have supported you Yorubas, Fulanis and Ijaw for president, why can't Igbos support one of their own?

You're scared of facing the man in the mirror. The real question is: why are you afraid of supporting an Igbo man?

You need to have some tough conversations with yourself.

Cheers.

iCauseTrouble:
Tinubu picking a Muslim running mate will be an easy win for Peter Obi.
The Muslim votes will be shared between Tinubu and Atiku. Don't forget that Christians dominate the North Central Nigeria. If Christian choose to vote based on religious differences, then, Peter Obi should come out victorious.
That said, I just hope we stop bringing religion, tribe and ethnicity into issue of national discourse. Most advanced countries vote based on competence and not because of tribe or religion

Your last paragraph is something I disagree with.

Unfortunately we arent America, and the reality of tribal and religious considerations cannot be wished away.

In a multicultural and multi religous society like ours, there is a need to be deliberate about inclusive and equitable governance.

One of Buhari's many failures was his inability to properly manage those cultural and religious differences.

Mixing an open support for Sharia with a heavy dose of callousness and clannishness was always going to make for a terrible ending.

Cheers.

I once thought of it , we've spent 8yrs & another 8yrs as president and vp, still we are fighting for another presidency, is that not greediness But I came to realize that power is taken and not given , in politics you need to play your card well, especially national politics.
I wish either SE/NE to have a shot of that presidency but circumstances not allowing them. Peter Obi might be a good candidate infact I respect his charisma, but under that party he can't be president . A vote for LP is assumed a wasted vote ..... My opinion tho

We will having osun election next month, by God's grace am voting out Apc , Oyetola must go but national level , separate entity

One good thing about injustice and inequity is that there is enough of both in the world to go round.

It will then be shameful of you to cry wolf when it comes knocking at your door

UstazAhmed:
Thats not an index of development. You dont save money when you are lacking infrastructure. I give ot to nstates that borrow and use it for infrastructure development

You don't just go borrowing without some form of financial management.

States must ensure they have capacity and must only borrow reasonably and sustainably.

States that borrowed recklessly (e.g. Osun and Imo) are feeling the heat right now and some of them can't even afford to pay their civil servants full salaries!

Romanoff:
Even poor men beat their wives to death, especially those whose wives are richer than they are.

Just cause girls refused to date you doesn't mean you should wish them bad. .

Even the ones who follow rich bad guys don't deserve this kind of death.


If you're asked to choose between a toxic work place where you're paid millions and a seren work environment where you're paid 70k, won't you choose the one you're paid in millions?

Let's show some humanity please.

There's no where the article said her husband is a rich bad guy and even if it did, she still didn't deserve to die like this.

You need to learn something today.

ACCOUNTABILITY.

If you choose to stay in that toxic work place then you have no one else to blame when you begin to reap what you have sown, after all you made that choice despite being fully aware of the consequences of your choice.

If that statement was an attempt at an analogy to the OP then you have failed woefully.

Cheers.

Adexxi:
You are right my brother, we Yorubas don't really carry religion for head like gala unlike others especially northerners . Remember sir , state politics is quite different from national ooo , and there are something we must put in place especially when the country is boiling, we are much more divided than ever before .

I can bodly tell you , much of we Yorubas hate this present govt but cos' a yoruba man is vying for office of the president under them we got no choice than to vote them . Normally it's turn of we christian to govern for equity and justice , but the situation we find ourselves now , we can afford to lose the presidency and even VP . It just a big NO .

On one hand you talk about "some things we must put in place especially when the country is boiling".

On the other hand you're confirming that you're only supporting APC because their candidate is of your ethnic group.

Where then is the equity? You don't mind scheming out others just to brag about your tribe being in power without considering others.

Yoruba cannot have done 16 yrs of president and VP in the last 23 years of democracy and have any legitimate claim to either sits.

It isn't too late to do the right thing anyway.

If you're still bound by ethnic and religious sentiments then it means you're one of those dragging humanity backwards.

Cheers.

OriOko88:
Na so na. Make dem go register for south east na..that's how hausas do. They travel to their villages in d north to register and vote.
Unlike the ingrate ibos..who live with us but will still want to vote against our interest. Mk all of them go register PVC for south east to vote for obi nw

Lagos will always be home to all Nigerians. It has transcended being owned by any one tribe into a cosmopolitan city.

You're just a slave in love with his chains!

Biodun556:
Ibos only have prolific business men they don't have politicians.

Since they did not make it in APC and the PDP they laboured for since 1999 didn't even consider them. Labour party can't give them any chance. To make the matter worst APGA is no where to be found. Best thing for the Ibos is to align with the Yorubas. They refuse to see us as their masters in Politics.

Obasanjo gave the Ijaws the opportunity to be president.

Uniting with Yorubas will give them relevance not the usual rivalry.

How come this mastery of politics never translated into a better life for the average Yoruba man in the last few decades?

You think thuggery, ethnic jingoism, wanton corruption and godfatherism is mastery of politics? I'm really sorry for you

Those you refer to as prolific politicians are simply criminals and looters of our common patrimony who have weaponised hunger and poverty to continue to subjugate dolts like you!

Igbos never praise or emulate criminals and that is why we'll never willingly vote or support any of our own criminals like OUK, Rochas and co!

You still think politics is a game even after the 7 locust years of PMB?

The joke is firmly on you!

UrPapa:
Nigeria is bleeped but 80 people at once
Sometimes this news outlets are just out there to post nonsense just to gain sentiments and drive traffics to their site and if you ask them how they came up with d figure now, they won’t be able to say anything
Journalist go sit down for lagos Dey give us figures in SE or North

Did you read the OP or you just want to rant

That number was clearly based on an eye witness' account which is enough for reporting the news as at press time.

Hopefully these cases are followed to a logical conclusion but knowing my country, these criminals will probably be released on bail and the cases killed off once the right palms have been greased.

godofuck231:
so you know too, igbos are still thinking like hermits when playing politics, its not the old acephalous politics i mean here , I mean cross board politics

Thankfully suffering, poverty, anguish, hopelessness, inflation and terrorism doesn't discriminate and will reach everybody, including those who are "good at politics".

Una suffering just start since you Nigerians no wan get sense

Olufemiolaolu:
Haba! of a truth the Igbos have no political value

All the political values Yorubas have where has it kept the region today?

Of what use is political value when your people cannot go to their farmlands, hunger ravishung them and they're being terrorised in their own domains?

Sunday igboho tried to open your people's eyes but they still sold him out.

Wake up!

Latakia:
1- He dare not

2- God used Jagaban to made him governor

3- Jagaban and Oshobaba stood by him and raised his hand up as APC governorship candidate even when Buhari said vote for me as president and vote for your choice candidate as governor

4- Again Jagaban and Oshobaba stood their ground even when Amosun supporters threw pure water sachets and cassava flakes at them. Buhari couldn't summon the courage to announce him as APC governorship candidate while Osibanjo was no where to be found.

5- Like APC, PDP too had factional group in Ogun state, Kashamu versus Baba Ijebu, the reason why Atiku never bother to visit the state during his campaign so as not to receive the APC treatment.

6- Dapo and Osibanjo wanted to rewrite history of how Osibanjo made him governor.

7- God hate traitor and betrayal.

The way you're adding God to this matter would have been hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

They ganged up to foist a known fraudster on Ogun state and you're here defending it?

Stockholm syndrome at its finest.

This vociferous support for terrorists by Gumi and his coriders is fantastically amazing!

Kingsteve:
It's such a shame as little as she is, she's already a bitter little b!tch!

Life will eventually humble her.
I know her type.

Quite unfortunate tbh.

Candidlady:



It is not stress
Who will be happy when you know you are doomed and chained with a fig tree who would prolly/definitely cheat on you with someone else.

He won't just cheat on you..
He will hit you abuse both verbally and physically

You have a Lil quarell he will be quick to leave the house just to cool off but end up lodging in a hotel with a sex worker.

After two years and kids for him he'd see you as old.


Poor lady

Who hurt you

drlateef:
How much did they contribute? Who took a major party to form APC? Do you not know that ACN was the major stakeholder in APC? Who owned ACN? Do you have memory problems?

How many votes did ACN (which metamorphosed from AC and AD) ever win its all its years of existence?

Now compare that with how many votes CPC had been garnering from 2003 up until 2015.

In there lies your answer as to which party formed the major bedrock of APC voting power over the last 7 years.

It is a known law of power to know when to stop even when one is winning. Tinubu has overplayed his hand and will be thoroughly disgraced.

Enough said.

KIA51 which body type are you?

buckeyemedia:
It is not about any individual, Nigeria is a Federation, the states have to come alive & take charge of their responsibilities & comparative advantage, this is democrazy, the era of military one man show ended in 1999.

Plain simple you Nigerians don’t understand the system of government you are practicing, you are still living in colonial & Military mentality.

Take for example after 23 years of uninterrupted democracy, they are still whining about a so called military constitution that is in their power to change.

Who takes those kind of people as serious minded?

Lol.

Do you know how rigorous the process to change the constitution is?

Executive powers still trump all the others and there's the exclusive list within which a lot of sectors are hosted. The hands of state governors are tied in many many ways!

You sound like you don't even know what you're talking about.

Anyway, we can agree to disagree. I know for sure that a determined outsider can change the fortunes of the country by making radical decisions that would affect things like cost of governance, corruption, comatose health and education sectors, etc.

It has happened in other countries and can happen in Nigeria.

Cheers.

soberdrunk:
Nigeria is deeply *INFECTED* and the bitter truth is that there is no "overnight" cure, the best we can hope for is a "vaccine". Anyone with basic knowledge of biology knows that to create a "vaccine" you need to take the virus and "modify" and inject it back into the body, what I'm saying in essence is that the solution can only come from the problem itself, meaning we need a politician that has been part of the system and knows the problem in 2023 not a green horn. That's why I will be voting for PROF!!

You are only talking about curing the illness which seems okay to the layman but is myopic.

The country needs a radical transformation, a complete disruption of the old ways and an overhaul of the civil service - processes that will attempt to tackle the root causes of the infection!

It has been well researched that innovation and disruption can only come from outside and never from within.

For the records, even Peter Obi cannot lead this radical disruption and transformation I talk about.

I repeat, only a total outsider can carry out these things and only with this can Nigeria ever be great.

I rest my case.
