, you are not an igbo man so you won't understand, the most important thing in the igbo apprenticeship system is the knowledge the boy will get, even if the don't settle you and you are a good boy, there are people that will give you goods that can take you far, but this days is very hard to get loyal boys

Igbo or no Igbo or whatever knowledge that is pure slavery. =N=11,000 plus per month!

Bentacur007:
We need to remove Tinubu first
I can support Atiku.

What is the difference between Tinubu and Atiku?
Una never start.

Antoeni:
The Girl Head No Gree For Ritual.

- But Was The Ritualist Able To Carry The Girl From Her School?

- Are Parents Or Guardian Not Suppose to be The Only One That Can Pick Their Wards From School?

- Why Will The Teacher Release a Pupil to a Stranger?

How do you know he was a ritualist? You people will just be jumping into conclusions.

TallNigerian:
This guy thinks most Nigerians are gullible. Perhaps they might be.

If you have not engaged in any sharp practice while holding public office, why should anyone be worried about being investigated by anti-graft agencies? If they invite you, go and clear your name and stop making excuses of political witch-hunt.

David Mark, Dino Melaye, Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, Elisha Abbo? Really?
These are the agents of change?

Truly, Nigerians are exactly who these politicians see them to be.

Imagine how Obi supporters are rejoicing as if the new party members are not the same APC member very shameful.
El-Rufai who they accused of killing Christians are now Obi supporters hero.

Zocalite:
Land me in trouble - lolzzzzz 🤣

May what tinubu has turned nigeria into be the situation of your life and generation forever

You will be fine okay? I don't join issues with WAEC candidates.

DeepSight:
Why should I leave Lagos?

Do you know where I am from?

I don't care about where you from, you people should leave Lagos. Is Largos the only state in Nigeria? Lagos Lagos Lagos....haba!

TossTos:
Dj Yk Mule !! ,like they've got things different from what's happening, they'll even do worst .. the interest of coalition is for appointments to loot , watch them sidelined , they start complaining and jumping ship.. ko jo wa loju

Just imagine how Obi supporters are jubilating as if the coalition are set of saints! The same set of APC and PDP members that formed a New party..

Hahahaha 🤣😂 Obi the Tsunami has aligned again with his fellow crooks. Look at how his supporters are jubilating, they are condemnig Tinubu but the coalition are still people that destroyed Nigeria. So what makes the difference?

DeepSight:
For you, you cannot see any sit-tightism in one man appointing the governors of Lagos forever abi. Enjoy.

It's like you guys just love being exploited and oppressed.

If I am exploited that is my business okay? Majority of governors do the same they pick who will be loyal to them. Meanwhile make una leave Lagos alone e no kocern una.

AMINDA:
These are just the "external" implosion. Watch out for the internal implosion within the APC. Tinubu and his lagos boys can have the party while Wike holds on to the carcass of PDP. Nigerians have moved on. Instead of uniting, Tinubu's leadership style is divisive. He would have functioned well as a regional leader but his authoritarian and sit-tight mentality would put him at the bottom of the totem pole if the selection process will be based on merit.

Una go just dey use words. Which one is sit-tight? Sit-tight to what position?

SeeWahala:
Oya shhh 🤫 stop crying on my mentions and go to look for the latest Peter obi thread to wail and pour out all your tears and spit on top 🤗

At the end nothing reasonable to say. I bet you just wrote WAEC.

SeeWahala:
Na simply because na una introduce the whole country to the agbero culture na u a invent am and na still una dey maintain am even while others are fighting to break free from their vices

What proof do you have to that? Give us proof! Why will you people copy bad things if truly it was introduced by the West? Dem force una?
At least you didn't disagree that agberos are all over Nigeria, you are just saying what is baseless to cover up.

SeeWahala:
That is tilumbu's legacy to lagosians that he is about to replicate to the entire nation.

I say, in the 2023 elections Femi beat Taiwo because Taiwo was looking fresh and smelling good

APC una dooo

Go to Aba, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin, Yenagoa etc and see what Agberos are doing. I bet Tinubu also breed those ones. By the way tell me which state in Nigeria that doesn't have Agberos? All una eyes na west he dey.

immortalcrown:
I think say dem must burry dead Muslim person within 24 hours.

Which day this man die?

Siddon there all those laws are for the poor.

Zocalite:
I can feel your pain

But what are you gaining in this disastrous government

The 100k maybe they are giving you monthly to come type rubbish on nairaland if you don't spend a Kobo out of it in a year, can't buy you an Okada

You volunteer yourself to be agent of evil

I stead of you to tell your tinubu to rule with benevolence, justice, kindness and fear of God

He's busy buying govs, stealing and killing

Shame!

At the end you didn't say anything meaningful just the usual talk of someone getting paid to support Tinubu. Who did Tinubu killed? This is how you people.make comments that can land you in trouble.

LagosOrigin:
Very good .

Now Let's see the party that Wike will influence to help Tinubu win in 2027

What is he saying? You think Tinubu is Obi or Atiku that needs coalition to help them?

LagosOrigin:
Four years of the misfortune that tinubu has brought upon Nigerians . Killings and corruption is now the order of the day in today's Nigeria under the watch of a failure president, bola tinubu.

All that has been happening under every president before Tinubu, we all know what happened under GEJ! You people will be acting as if you were living in paradise before Tinubu came to power.

Amumaigwe:
We must continue to highlight the misrule. See some of them:

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

Unidony2k:
Obi is the only man that can take Nigeria to the promise Land .

Yes Obi is Moses... lmao 😂😆😂😆 !
Not enough words to make 40 characters.

Darls247:
You guys keep saying Peter Obi will never become president , is he not a Nigerian?? Is Nigerian owned by a particular region??

Why not allow them to go if truly you don't like them? Why one Nigeria? This country can never move forward on till we go our separate ways.

Your senators and representatives from the east are in Abuja why haven't any one of them move a referendum for Biafra? They are there in Abuja sharing the money while you are here asking ordinary citizens to give you Biafra. Don't worry we go remove Biafra from our pocket give you.

Penguin2:
Na so!

We here you.

You would rather vote for Tinubu and queue for bread than vote Obi and be handed the bakery.

We know how bad the slavery is.

What bakery did he handed to you in Anambra? Abi you mean brewery, drink yourself to stupor.

Xankly:
Anything to send the urban bandit back to Lagos is welcomed by well meaning Nigerians.

So those coalition Atiku and co are the well meaning Nigerians. What makes them different from Tinubu? Nigerians chai who do us like this?

Houseofglam7:

ebuk4real:
When you're done with your dementia gaslighting, take your agbados subscription and tell your BAT Lord he's doing well. Lol

When you're done with your dementia gaslighting, take your agbados subscription and tell your BAT Lord he's doing well. Lol

ebuk4real:
Lol.. common Among adults supporting evil because of crumbs. Hunger go deal with you

Again children that cannot read very well before commenting (one of the reasons for their failure in JAMB and WAEC) and children that will not mind their business all these things are sign of dementia and it should be taken seriously.

ebuk4real:
Dementia happens to be the symptoms of people like you supporting the hopeless government of BAT. So, run along and greet your dementia Lord

Dementia is when people cannot read to comprehend and when people jumped into a thread without following, very common among children who are about to write WAEC or just finished writing WAEC.

ebuk4real:
No worries. Come 2027, hunger would have finished people like you. Tinubu till 2031. Lol

Dementia is a very bad condition it affects both old and young. Go and read about it helps a lot so that you will not fall in line and if you are already in line like I am suspecting you will know what to do. God bless you as you do so Amen 🙏.
