Lol.

As bad as people thought GEJ was, his administration still witnessed the greatest time for the purchasing power of the common man.

OBJ was in a class of his own. Breaking grounds without breaking backs.

Yaradua was a stabiliser, humane and commonsensical leader. No airs, no fuss, no muss. Just quietly going about his job the best way he could.

All these before some selfish individuals decided to destroy everything.

I don't understand why the likes of you are so fixated and insistent on GEJ era as if we are not life then tew,
whatever the purchasing power was during GEJ era it wasnt better than what yaradua & obj left, so where is all the eldorado delusion coming from
If GEJ era was so sweet and beautiful as your likes paint it all the time, why is GEJ not re-running.
Apc lied against him, the truth is out ... why is GEJ not re-running

juliuscaesar:
What happens to all the money and properties recovered by EFCC? Why can't we use that to fight the so called "terrorism."?

The masses are suffering and this government want to keep adding to the suffering. Spending 15 trillion on a coastal highway, when that same amount or even less can give us 24 hrs electricity. Which is more important to the people, the coastal highway or 24-hour electricity?

The possibility Nigeria will have a coastal highway should govt spend 15trn is 99%

while the possibility Nigerians will have a 24-hour power should govt expend 15trn is mer with " uncertainty" .... its not a question of which is more important, it is a matter of which is achievable

Brendaniel:
After Buhari's first term, did you ever think he could do better?

if Buhari 1st term was as bad as his 2nd term he wouldn't have gotten re-elected ....

if we never thought he could do better whats the point re-electing him .. 🤷

Brendaniel:
You hired a car and the car kept on breaking down, now you were fully aware that the car will keep breaking down and cannot be fixed, then they gave you an option to try and they said this option has broken down before but may work better than the one you are using that will keep breaking down....

Would you give it a test or not to see or ignore testing it and continue with the one that you sure will keep breaking in the name of you are not sure of the second one you have not even tested will work better?

.A car that cannot be fixed can not be of use, so it can't even be a choice. on that same spot should a dealer offer a nigerian a repaired naija used corolla or a new innoson car .. which one you think say majority of Nigerians go pick

See as person wey dey live inside bush dey look fresh & radiant, whereas pocohantas wey dey collect beauty allowance can't even post without blurring 🙈 🤣

wife of a terrorist dey show face whereas free nairalanders can't ... this life no just balance

Brendaniel:
The problem with you APC and APC supporters is you guys like supporting the worst into power, you cannot vote nonsense into power and expect the nonsense to make sense....

If you were expecting Buhari to perform better than Jonathan and he did not, was Buhari's first tenure not enough to tell you that he was worse than Jonathan then why give him a second term if you want me believe what you just said?

The problem with Obedient is they feel they are always right but they forgot what has not being tested, remains unknown and should not be sold has solution
Even when we got to know buhari was bad, the other choice was an Atiku which leaves us between the devil and deep blue sea

i don't need you to believe me , just open your horizon ... Nigerians don't really have much of a choice with the options on the ballot .. we are always box between choosing the devil or the deep blue sea,

i think we are still surviving cos we are picking the devil we know

Beremx:
He's definitely gay no doubt

Are you aware even a guy man with different gurlfriends as long as he is married to none is SINGLE

and if he is igbo that should slash your doubt by 50%

Brendaniel:
If your belief is the bolded you wrote there about Nigeria then why are we even having this conversation?

You are indirectly telling me you knew Tinubu will be worse than Buhari and yet decided to support him and that it does not matter if he is damaging the country that it is what he is supposed to do....

Just look at your mindset, then how do you want to convince me that you believe the country will ever get better...

I now see why people like you support recklessly....

If we all have that mindset then why do we have a country, if we all agree the country can only get worse on every successive leader...

I now see why you guys don't see picking bad leaders for president as a big deal...

I never supported Jonathan, you can check my past posts, I have been a member of Nairaland since 2011, but if you want to pick someone, will you knowingly pick someone worse than him like Buhari and now Tinubu...

Acknowledging record or history is not tantamout to " belief" their is devil but i don't believe in him ... clear now

As we move from govt to another .. for a sane person optimism is the "watchword" .. i wished Buhari did better than jonathan just the same way i wished jonathan did well than yaradua/obj.

No one knows tomorrow how much more predict humans, we are all gambling at the poll, when i voted Tinubu, i placed my hope on his records not him per say cos people are bound to fail ..
I can admit Tinubu is failing but i can write a man off under one year for a 4yrs journey .... if he is not doing it right i lend my voice to others nd call him out hoping he listens.

Buhari might not sound like the best of names, but placing him alongside Atiku gave Nigerians no choice
options presented before you decides the best you go with. if the highest score in a class is 3/10 that student wey get 3 is the best student ... might even go represent the school sef does the school have a choice


The kind of people party present to Nigerians is a huge comma, its alway a case of chose between the devil or deep blue sea

I heard our brothers in aba are already doing the fake of OBi bitters wey never come out ...

rinzaugustine:
You asked for one project he did right? are you open to the bet or not?

Its either you go back n read or you google what legacy and development means

Brendaniel:
Igbos warned about Buhari first term and second term, you can't tell me Buhari is better than Jonathan and you can't tell me Buhari is better than Atiku....

Still Atiku is better than Tinubu and Buhari is still better than Tinubu, in less than year it has been proven..

For you to compare Lagos and Anambra shows how far you are from reality, that is like comparing Abuja and Ondo state, when was Anambra created and what investment has the federal government put in Anambra compared to Lagos....

A state that was FCT for 77 years, look at even Wike that was governor of Rivers for 8 years in his life has never released a budget of over 1 trillion even half of 1 trillion in Rivers state but today he is doing it as FCT minister, tomorrow you will want to come and tell me he is better than Zulum of Borno because he has more resources to handle things....

Look at the way you guys reason now....

If you don't know what the Lagos scam is, I think you need to go and learn what it is....


Nobody ever said Obi will turn Nigeria to Dubai, what we saw in Obi is a man who will leave Nigeria better than he met it, not like Buhari who left it worse and now Tinubu is towing the same path.

People that had the guts to carry gun against Nigeria are warning us

In Nigeria every successor do worst than their predecessor ... you can't tell me jonathan did well than yaradua or Obj ... naa you know weytin Atiku do for you, e no concern Nigerians.

Your assimilation level needs upgrade, if we to rate peter obi vs Tinubu no be there performance in there respective state we go use ... more money does not guarantee Performance, state like bayelsa, delta are collecting more allocations than most states yet they have nothing to show
Since fubara became governor in rivers is it project as usual like when wike was governor.

Peter Obi will leave Nigeria better even when his records and performance are not convincing dey play
Bro election season are long over, if you like stay and remain in 2023, we don move

rinzaugustine:
go to all the local government secretariats in Anambra and ask them 2 questions..who built these gigantic structures and was there one there before now? Tell me the day you are ready . We can open a separate thread and bet 50-100k and hand it over to one of the mods so that who ever is telling the truth will win the bet

You mean the same local government secretariats Peter Obi denied "chairman" for 8yrs ... no wonder he goes about bragging with borehole, a governor stealing the glory of local govt chairmen

where obiano is talking of infrastructure he built in Anambra, brother peter obi will be counting boreholes 🤣

Brendaniel:
You supported Buhari for 8 years, we warned you about Buhari, you guys voted him twice, we warned you guys about Tinubu now looks at it today and you want to tell me that you people know what you are doing.

And also want to tell me that we have not been right all along...

See another of my comment here, I have so many, I warned and warned and warned you guys, somehow you people refused to listen and some of you are not still listening same way you guys did for Buhari....

You guys will vote in nonsense and expect nonsense to make sense then try to blame others for the nonsense not making sense...

Did it occur to you Nigerians were between the deep blue sea and devil himself, Atiku was never a choice Nigerians were ready not to dive into Atiku blue sea

Next was BAT & OBi, i won't even waste time explaining anything ....

When we umimously voted GEJ, did Nigerians not regret, nobody warned us not to vote GEJ did it change anything

Is it not a change to your school thought that the lagos that is under tinubu claws has the most rising economy and best welfare package for workers than any state in Nigeria. state wey free like Mandela what did they do better than lagos govt .. lets hear

So all these "we warned you" nonsense talk, when the candidates are not really much of a choice is needless. Obi that cannot resolve ordinary party feud, that is the man that will unite & turn Nigeria to Dubai in 4yrs 🤣 dey play

Brendaniel:
I knew Tinubu was worse than Buhari, see like I said earlier, Peter Obi is not a saint but comparing with Tinubu is 2 worlds apart, it is like comparing Jonathan and Buhari, Jonathan was not a saint but he had human sympathy, empathy and pity on people to a large extent, Tinubu is not in that category....

And once you have a wicked leader as a president, I don't need to tell you what follows, please read all my comments from before the election and during election about Tinubu and see for yourself, the problem with you guys is that you don't even know the person you people supported and still supporting....

You don't know him

I didnt ask you bro ! i knew you will say Tinubu is the worst thing that ever existed since God created man.

Lemme guest Peter Obi is your dad, and you carry his bloodline so much that you know what he can do and can not abi .. smh

You can tell the future, such that you are so confident Peter Obi can not fail abi, your likes are funny, if dem tell you peter obi dey mess sef you fit argue am say he can't hurt the air continue one day you will be older and wiser

vowiski:
useless trial and error government.

I keep saying, Had it been Peter Obi was the governor of Lagos state...

No African mega city would have been able to come close.

The yorubas hyping Tinubu as their best shows how they love oppression and slavery. That's why one man has been deciding the governor of Lagos since he left the seat of Power.

This madness will never work in any SE/SS state.

How do you clap for a state that generates over 1T a year in IGR with nothing to show? 1 trillion is a whole lot of money, that you won't see 1 single agbero in a mega city. Things should work as seen in other climes.

I have Been to Cape Town, Kigali and Cairo. You will not find one single tout!!!

Nelson wike has so many achievement and he is fondly called Mr project .. was he governor of lagos state

What is Peter obi know for or fondly called that depict an achievement .... after 8yrs in office

Peoples whose father and mother are flogged to sit at home on a monday .. are here schooling us about oppression and slavery

People whose one man in prison and one idiot in finland are dictating there lives .. are here bragging, Nnamdi kanu in prison decides when you outside can open business or not .. is that not the height of madness

Onitsha has more agbero than ekiti, osun & ondo combined but all they ever talk about is lagos, are unknown gun men rocking the east better in looks or qualification more than agberos

With these people wailing has no bounds, they say so much but have nothing to show as lead

iamfactor:
I hope Helinus and Yarimo are still al!ve abi BATeria don use hunger and excessive tax choke them to co.ma
Defending APC is not an easy task ashwear but u guys are trying.
One bottle of Bitter Obi go mk una dey alright las las.😂

Defending who was easy? was it easy defending jonathan, obj or is it buhari ...

If you like use all the laughing emoji finish, we all suffer the govt harsh policies, if its not touching you, it is touching your family member or friends or inlaw.

the earlier we join forces to protest against bad leadership the better

Brendaniel:
Tinubu was the worst to gamble with in the entire list of candidates.

Peter Obi compared to Tinubu is still far apart, some of the posts you saw about Peter Obi were political, secondly we are not saying Peter Obi is a saint but compared to Tinubu he is miles ahead....

The Lagos scam is what helped Tinubu even at that he still failed as a governor, see I dont want to argue back and forth, Tinubu is a wicked human being.

Tinubu was the worst candidate on the ballot in the last election, you think someone who lied to you for 8 years and told you Buhari will transform Nigeria even when Buhari was busy destroying the country and still gave him support for a second term.

Only to come and tell you that he was doing all that so that he can become president, which means he lied to you about Buhari knowing Buhari was not coming to do anything good for you.

So even if Buhari killed all Nigerians during his time, Tinubu would have still supported him, look at the amount of people that died, children that became orphans, women that were raped by bandits and so on.

All what Tinubu could say was that he lied and supported Buhari because he wanted to be president because it was his turn.

Indirectly what he was telling Nigerians is that everything that happened to you people was worth his ambition even those that died...

Someone that did not pity or regard you because of his ambition is the person you decided to support and you call it politics and you even hailed him for it....

Then you expect him to pity you when he achieves his ambition....

It is clear you don't even know him, read my comment from last year after Tinubu was sworn in...

Same way we thought Buhari was the worst that can ever happen ?
i for ask did you earnestly believe Tinubu will underperform to Buhari ... but you are full of insincerity

If Peter obi was president and things were this bad, people would have argued Tinubu would have done better .. think am

Nigerians can't get it right from selection & choice cos naa rogues full politics, but we can make Nigeria better by how we hold our leaders accountable when we speak up and rise to challenge them steadily irrespective of affiliation. that is it

rinzaugustine:
Peter Obi has been vindicated. Everything he said about if the APC candidate win elections have all happened. Peter Obi during his campaign, interviews, debates and even manifesto proposed a pattern that have worked with western countries. He said plug all the loopholes where Nigeria is losing trillions from . He pointed it out one by one including mentioning how to stop the theft in oil sector. He mentioned that if you spend those trillions in form of small businesses and other grants on Nigeria population of 300m , the multiplier effect will create jobs and all manner of business opportunities for the common masses, make the country the biggest economy in black Africa and provide government with a very big tax base. The western nations Nigeria presidents kneel to beg money every time doesn’t have oil but this simple model. The question is why do i believe Peter Obi would do what he said he would do and not betray his supporters. In 2006 when he became governor he said he won’t continue Ngige massive road construction projects but would instead do ANIDS program which is the simultaneous development of every sector gradually in Anambra. That idea did not go down well with anambra coupled with his stingy profile that most people rejoiced when he was impeached and only accepted him back through the courts because then they saw him as a better alternative to Andy Uba who became governor the Tinubu style but by the time he did four years all the people who hated him started loving him gradually when they saw he made a headway and succeeded with his unconventional style of leadership which culminated in US MIllenium development Goals giving him awards consecutively for being the best governor in Nigeria and only governor in Africa who fulfilled the development goals they set for Africa. By the time he left power he had not only implemented above 80% of his manifesto but had become a cult hero even among the ones that didn’t believe in his style of leadership. I believe strongly that if Peter Obi becomes president he will implement all those policies he said that made Nigerians to fall in love with his unconventional style but also made career politicians and their minions to hate him unconditionally

Mention one legacy or development Anambra people are still enjoying till today cos of Peter Obi.

Just one registered to him

Brendaniel:
Why did he run abroad if Tinubu is doing so well for Nigeria, let him come back and enjoy what he supported, you call what he said constructive criticism?

You guys support nonsense into office then expect the nonsense to make sense...


We warned you guys over and over,the red flags on Tinubu were too much for any right thinking person not to see....

Seyi Law should shove his criticism down his throat and accept he fvcked up big time....

Bro stop sounding like a broke record, all the candidate are gamble nothing more, the only reason Peter Obi still looks like perfect choice is becos we have not tried him, but even his tenure as a governor is not convincing, same as Atiku

All these we warn you Cry sounds like a broken record .. noise polllution

Governance is not a roller coaster, Nigeria can only be great if the people find a way to hold leaders accountable, politicians are the same no fool yourselves.

Chicagograduate:
The new cyber security policy has started taking effect..I was debited ₦60 and another ₦10 consecutively for an only transfer since 28 of April.Morever,I am a below minimum wage earner.We the low income earners are the ones feeding Tinubu and his gangs of thieves.

charges wey cbn don suspend, abi you think say na your children dey online ...drop a screenshot stating cybersecurity charge

things are worst no need adding lies

Racoon:
An typical of every shameless agbado and cassava munch mummified zombies, he started transferring aggression instead of apologising for goading many gullible fellas into a disastrous ethno-religio-regional political cul-de-sac of endless misery and suffering.

what nonsense, the man owes no one any applogy for exercising is civil right

you don't even know taking responsibilities for ones action is Impactful, agbadorians have shown where our loyalty lies

Can obedient ever see anything wrong in whatever Peter Obi does ??

VinnyBaba:
Truth is MANY married men do.

Especially when a Single Guy who is their Neighbour, Friend or Colleague is Having lots of Sexy Girlfriends and Babes as Girlfriend or Fucckmate.

They will now feel like 'So this my PREEK na for Only my Yeye Wife?'.

It all depends on the angle you want to look at it from, when it comes to freedom and time maybe married men can envy bachelors BUT when it comes to ladies & sexcapades Bachelors don't have the scores of casanova Married men

when it comes to societal views and respect bachelors gat nothing on married men.

freedom & time is what bachelors have

cococandy:
The men wouldn’t even let us converse in peace. You’ll see them taking over the conversation to tell us how we should feel, think and respond

Maybe men take over those threads cos females see everything as doing men a favor ... make dem dey beg una to comment or what

however weytin dey pepper una be say the party just goes on with or without the celebrants

Amumaigwe:
So the foundation Buhari established for 8 years which Tinubu promised to build upon was on a sinking sand. Tell me more please.

we can see you know how to write but learn how to read for your own good koshi

dangermouse:
This Lamba too much.

Make una dey take am easy Abeg. Soon we go hearsay foreigners dey troop come naija for better economy.

Naija way even the doctors and nurses dey japa every day by day.

Una no dey taya to dey lie?

God have mercy!

ijoba Dj yk mule 🤣 .. i taya for my people

ibechris:
Batists don enter one chance finally.

I knew Baba Tinubu with all due respect to him, can never deliver on this mandate.

He was never a performer in Lagos,as I witnessed it first hand.

For those who would come to shout yen yen yen...among the two former governors that preceeded him,it was obvious he failed during his time and he used propaganda that cannot work on a national scale to deceive the people.

Well,I was a secondary student then and i can tell for sure that he was a monumental failure.

Additionally,for the records,OBJ never seized the allocation of Lagos while he was the governor,rather Obj stopped the allocation of local govt in the state just like he did in Katsina,Ebonyi,Nasarawa and Niger states at the same time.

So,it is only idiots who don't verify facts from fictions that allows his propaganda to take over their senses.

In summary, Tinubu is becoming a national embarrassment. As taxing and over-taxing the people will back fire ultimately. In taxation class at the University,we were told that taxes are levied on the people on their ability to pay and not on their inability to pay and this i know for sure and Before I go,tell Yesom Wike that,he should be careful,what I see around him is very bleak. His political future is not rosy at all. He should learn from Amaechi.

Good night all.

I was strolling somewhere close, a house i didnt know when they began the foundation was already at the roofing stage ..
Have you seen a building and it felt like the house germinated overnight

Nobody sees the work of the foundation, even when they are doing the foundation you pass n look at it like you saw nothing.

fineboynl:
.. it's not a curse but that road will never be completed.

Instead this government to focus on the economy they are busy chasing wild elephant project at a time the economy and masses are bleeding.

If someone did not take the initiative to begin the 2nd niger bridge ... how will buhari finish it

If someone did not take the bold step to build the hydro power plant in Abia weytin Alex otti for get as an achievement ..

If govt don't build infrastructure cos it hard times and the people are suffering .... will a time ever come people are not suffering.

DeLaRue:
Interesting.

One thing about this President is that he is BOLD

He goes where no previous leader dared to go.

1. Fuel Subsidy - removed. GEJ folded at the first sign of protest at Ojota.

2. FCT minister - gave it a Southerner

3. Student loan scheme - in the works

4. Coastal road - ongoing

And so on..

But this horrible 0.5 or 0.005% tax on bank transfer his government wants to introduce is too much. We are hearing too of Telecom tax. There's the dreaded Band A electricity palaver on ground.

Excessive taxes are suffocating the people and the economy.

My greatest fear when i voted BAT was tax ... that man can tax even the dead for occupying a whole 6 feets

i waived it off then base on say no develop country wey no dey pay tax like kilode

ONNYX:
Perhaps you are the one that needs to become realistic.

I have a major snacks production outfit. Even in these perilous times we do a minimum of 50 bags of flour daily.

In some snacks businesses including biscuits you can have 100 staff eating to their fill every hour without incurring losses because it's a matter of time and they get tired.

I challenge you to mention any mass market targeted bakery that can be that liberal.

On the question of feeding I think that is a matter of in-house consideration. You could choose to pay low wages and provide a soup kitchen level feeding or pay a decent wage providing staff with leverage and variety as regards their feeding.

All is a matter of choice.

Scale of production does not decide the existence or non existence of "welfare" .. naa the Personality of the boss go decide
Leventis is one of the renowned bakery way back, they make value U bread, there staff were entitled to bread, even Golden hefty there workers can take one bread per day

Its pays more to feed ur staff out of what you mass produce than to arrange for food kitchen sef. flour na very good business, cos e dey swell up and no dey quick spoil ... just get your target n market right turnover go boom

ONNYX:
I am happy you yourself recognise that it is stealing nonetheless. Somebody is being deprived. I don't care if it is 1300 per week or 1300 per day. Stealing will not be condoned. In my bakery if I catch you stealing on the 30th of the month you forfeit your entire month earnings. This is not debatable and is enshrined the agreement we have.

I am even going further now to insist that I save 2% of your monthly income and only pay you that amount at the end of your employment there and only if you are not sacked on account of theft.

I am looking for even more monstrous ways to check theft if not I must always work in the bakery and that is counterproductive.

All bakeries must learn to be one step ahead.

Oga i can't tell you how you should run your business, but there is something called standard practice

if you like boil your staffs to eat if dem use your sugar drink garri .. you are only doing yourself cos your workers won't give there best dem go just use you pass time till better job come up.

up top bread one step ahead, if you come get lounge nko .. you go install okirja shrine

ONNYX:
So as a bakery you make 500 loaves of bread daily, you employ a 10 staff and pay them 50k Monthly, you accommodate them and yet you still give them 1,300 worth of bread daily?

1,300x10x30 =??

Your business will thrive.

I hope you know that you have to add butter to the bread you dole out and that your sugar and milk must complement the daily bread. If you have sardines in stock you must add to it so that they don't steal.

Then you start to feed them...at first once daily and the twice and then thrice and eventually add mineral to the mix or beer on Fridays.

And then you have to help them with toiletries, and then boxers/singlets.

Then extend their living quarters to accommodate their grandparents who must move in to give them emotional support to enable them stay focused from stealing bread.

This is just act 1, scene 1.

Bro its time you adopt reality, i have being to different big bakery, i don't see up to 10 staffs and i doubt if the pay is up to 50k sef

Creating a welfare package for your staffs is an administrative cost that can not be undermine .. when we finish secondary school my friends worked in Ok foods .. then you can eat biscuit as much as you like but can't take it out, if you work in nigeria brewery you can drink there product on site but can't take it out, i know a worker in chicken republic, they are entitled to one meal per day thats enough incentive to forestall stealing food & litigation expenses
feeding staffs one day out of what you produce in mass can not kill your business ... except you don't have patronage at all.

Every other thing you say, you are just being petty and unrealistic.

cococandy:
I know many Nigerians don’t see women as human so marital rape doesn’t exist in their books. What kind of responses do we expect on this topic?

i knew i will find you here same outburst, Nigerians don't see women as human yet Nigeria women are among most pampered women in the world.
marriage & dowry is a license to own each other bodies, so how do you deny someone what they are presumed to own .. then claim rape, logically it is not tenable

should a landlord lock me out of a house my rent still reads, if i break the door to enter what makes me liable for an arrest/prosecution
You can only appeal to men to be more civil and considerate cos denying someone is conjugal right is "wrong"
