This man is reading what he is saying from a board in the background. If you doubt, look at his eyes - there are not fixed on the camera but on the board he is reading from.

Common, this little address is recitable off-hand.

See who they want to be president, someone who doesn't believe in One Nigeria wants to rule it.

...It is common place for newspaper headlines to be sensationalized. Do you have the full print, kindly share

One of our problem is that our Education is expensive in Nigeria........... This is d reason why we have many youth without it .........

tertiary Education in Nigeria is actually very cheap

AnonPoet:
Nestled in the heart of Ekwegbe, Enugu, the proposed Maduka University is rapidly taking shape, promising to revolutionise education and tourism in Nigeria. With over 85% completion, the university, which sprawls across 450 hectares of land, is set to become the first entrepreneurship-focused institution in the country. It is the brainchild of Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi, a business mogul and founder of Peace Group.

Intending to be city-like, the institution has also made stunning provisions for staff quarters, a world-class campus stadium, an international guest house, a lake resort, a park and recreation centre to cater for children, and most importantly, a primary and secondary school with full boarding facilities. In fact, its secondary school, called Maduka University College, has already begun operations, having opened its doors to welcome secondary school students during the last academic session.

Many might wonder why another private university is being built when quite a number already exist. But what sets Maduka University apart from other higher institutions is its singular focus on entrepreneurship.

Every student will take classes on entrepreneurship that will give them the skills they need to be successful on their own before and after they graduate without having to rely on traditional white-collar jobs.

Even though Maduka University is a private school, it wants to offer a world-class education at a price that the average Nigerian can afford.

The founder of the university, Dr. Onyishi, explains that his mission is rooted in a desire to give back to society and help address the country's ongoing unemployment crisis. As he notes, many Nigerian universities remain theory-focused and don't provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the real world. The lack of entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and spirit among young people only exacerbates this issue. With the unemployment rate rising, the entrepreneurship gap remains wide.

To make this university a reality, Dr. Onyishi is solely financing the multi-billion naira project from his pocket without any external support, which is a commendable feat!

Upon completion and successful accreditation by the NUC, Maduka University will be the rallying hub for educational acquisition, the training ground for the nation's next set of great entrepreneurs and business leaders, and a credible alternative for Nigerians who desire quality education at an affordable cost.

Hopefully, this will inspire other entrepreneurs to invest in Nigeria's education sector.

We don't need universities, we need Vocational centres

Freestyl:
The incoming governor of Benue State, Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, takes his campaign to Kwande and drums up support for Tinubu and all the APC candidates ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Fr. Alia also pledged to build a new university for the people of Kwande when elected.

He wants to build a university to serve what purpose exactly? This one shouldn't be voted for

Disappointed with him on this one. Religious issues are the dictates of politicians when they want to cause division. Everybody should step back and ask themselves, based on the teachings of the holy books, if our politicians are truly Christians or Muslims will the country be where it is today?

Yet during election they bring up christian and Muslim tickets.

We can choose to remain gullible or shun these kind of talk and vote them based on what they are bringing to the table. Vote right

And for his reference to God not making a mistake, I guess he should read about the parable of the "good" Samaritan. A parable that a lot of you with tribalistic tendencies should read and understand.

See ehh...
#Obi-dient movement is no respecter of Party o.

As an APC or PDP Supporter, you can be #Obi-dient because this Nigeria is for all of us and noone is happy about the state of the nation. But we all know that
*Peter Obi is better.*
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nigerians are #Obi-dient.
*Just Vote Labour Party for President*

I like this

IGBOSON1:
As shocking as it is, i ain’t surprised! It’s only naive and trusting Igbo who think there’s a level playing field for all ethnicities, regions and contestants, and that the upcoming elections haven’t been rigged already….from the period of PVC registration and collection, to the imported incidents of insecurity and murder in the south-east!

I believe, in a free and fair election that Peter Obi will win! But like i said, the process has already been rigged, and the trail of the culprits will ultimately lead to the evil characters in and around APC….right to the very top of the criminal organisation!

could it be PVCs from raid of INEC offices by UGM?

Thinkam:
So na old notes he throw

Nigerians go suffer if Apc remains.

If you hate Igbo vote PDP, if you hate Yoruba vote PDP..

If you don't want Obi to win vote PDP, if you don't want Tinubu to win vote PDP

Country people, make we vote PDP

Atiku the Unifier

God forbids PDP happens to us again will rather vote the prof than sear my conscience

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Igbos voted for Abiola, Obasanjo against Ojukwu.Yorubas have never voted an Igbo man.Only this time Igbos have a younger and more competent candidate.Yorubas muslims still use tribalism to campaign against him.Thank God Yoruba Christains are more Obidient and wiser this time around

This is not factual. Despite Lagos being an ACN stronghold, Jonathan won resoudingly. In fact he won in all the southwest states except Osun

SensualMan:
Place Akinwumi Adesina side by side to Rochas Okorocha and watch me and my generation vote massively for Adesina.

Regardless of what u guys decide for Nigeria, the Igbo man is a survivor. He survives without government presence. The other owo mida people and the almajiris will still be the ones begging Igbo man for money both online and offline.

Congratulations the President-elect.

a better analogy is Adesina and Obi

Workch:
it's okay to do this to steal votes from southwest.
A lot of Yorubas are voting along ethnic lines, you can trigger religion there to steal more votes from BAT.

This is not going to effect Obi's voting block in the north, southsouth and southeast. The ethnic bigots who are Christians in southwest need to see a reason not to vote a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

If someone is already biased for ethnic reasons, you can bring him back for religious reasons

lol see logic.....Any Yoruba supporting Tinubu is tribal, any Igbo supporting Obi is not.......I still maintain my point that a lot of Obidients went about this campaign the wrong way. They think by abusing the people that don't support PO will get those people to change their minds.

Obi is the underdog here and his job is trying to convince people to vote for him from the other major political parties. Abusing people that have a different view from you does a bad job of convincing both neutrals and those in other political parties to join the movement.

You might argue that the other parties are also abusive, that might be the case, but it doesn't mean you should toe that road especially being the underdog . You should be seen to be different discussing ideas.

When APC took power from PDP, they didn't go after supporters of PDP, they targeted the issues and amplified it.

As an analogy imagine a new restaurant trying to get customers from a McDonald's for example, it would be foolhardy for them to tell McDonald's customers that they are stupid for remaining with McDonald's when they could be eating in a new restaurant.

If you were the McDonald's customer, how would you feel?

It might be late to sway some people, but there are still a few that are sitting on the fence. Don't let overzealousness make you lose those ones.

It is a Democracy and everyone has a right to choose. But you also have a right to convince them to choose who you think is right.

Ekemini11:
More

In a country of 200m people with probably half that eligible to vote, you think a poll of 3k respondents is going to be representative of reality.

My take is supporters of candidates should shun these polls and continue to campaign till INEC says stop.

You need to poll about 5% of eligible voters to get a semblance of representative data.

pacespot:
Mostly uneducated and ill-informed religion bigots from the North believe @bolded. In the South West, the people I have spoken with who are supporting Tinubu have always told me because he is one of their own.

Still making the same error. You call them uneducated and ill-informed and bigots.

Well like I posited earlier it goes both ways

pacespot:
Tinubu is unfit for presidency, get it into your skull Mr man.

When they tag you tribalist for supporting Tinubu, they have their reasons.

Do you think I am supporting Peter Obi because of his tribe? No

If APC had presented Rocha okorocha as their candidate against Seyi Makinde in Labour Party or PDP, I would have supported Makinde.

So if people call you tribalist for supporting Tinubu, I think they have their reasons.

How can you be supporting a sickly old man suffering from dementia and amnesia as a president at this critical time in Nigeria

There in lies the problem. You find no issues calling others tribalists but don't want to dance to the same tune.

As absurd as it may seem to you, people do believe that Tinubu will make a better president than Obi even in his current state. Do I agree, no. Do I respect their opinion and choice, yes. Would I call them tribalists for that, no.

It's a democracy everybody has one vote.

While we are at it, start emphasizing that more people should start holding their state governors to higher standards. Most if not all are incompetent and are hiding under the "it is the FGs fault" umbrella.

pacespot:
Anybody that supports Peter Obi is now Igbo. Me too, they've tagged me Igbo on Twitter despite seeing my name as Yoruba, they say I dey disguise.

I know what urchins are trying to do by always labeling anybody that supports Peter Obi Igbo. They are trying to corner Obi to one side to make him look like an Igbo president.

Any tribal game that urchins want to play in this election will backfire on them.

unfortunately it goes both ways. Anyone who supports Tinubu is also called a Yoruba tribalists.

It is unfortunate that most people on both sides of the divide have managed to turn it into a tribe based election.

Rebuke:
Funny how INEC feels so powerful and think they have the final say.
Even if the allegation is false, for the sake of transparency while not listen to the masses?

Very useless country where everyone placed in office by the people and meant to serve the people, now assume the people are to be enslaved and do as they wish and not as the masses want.

I believe INEC listened and after investigating realized the allegations are false.

You don't change your system every time an allegation is made.

Akwamkpuruamu:
We are Africans and must maintain decency in dressing

Africans originally were scantily dressed. All you call decency now was brought in by Europeans

SmartPolician:
I really appreciate all the Yorubas who overcame the tribal pressure of supporting that push-and-quench skit maker to endorse Peter Greg. Obi.

I can understand how difficult that can be for all of you, considering that the Druggie is also in this race. Your desire to see a working Nigeria in your time is not in doubt. May God richly bless Iyabo Ojo and the rest of the Yorubas queuing behind PO!

PS: OP, include her fine picture to this thread.

This is a thoughtless statement even if you think you are being smart. You still managed to sneak your tribalism into this.

As hard as it might be for you to comprehend, there are several people that don't see things through tribal lenses and that includes a lot of people supporting any of the candidates.

shugagurl:
If Tinubu can fake bishops, is it party leaders that he cannot fake? Such a desperate man is dangerous to any democracy!



[b][/b]
Such a stupid statement from someone who is supposed to be an elder. Does wisdom no longer come with age? The youths should wake up, these old farts are the ones who destroyed Nigeria during their youth with politics of bigotry and hate. We need to break that barrier and seize our future for ourselves! LP will usher in a new Nigeria where the power lies solely on the people. If after 4 years Obi fuks up, we can sack him and employ someone else. Rinse and repeat♻️ until we finally get it right!

I have always said following all these so called leaders in Politics is just stupid. Evaluate each candidate and come to a conclusion who is best. All politicians are in it for their selfish interests.

Imagine the stupid statement he made. I wonder how these ones are considered leaders or elders

olgaa14:
Its a federal project.

The OP says it's a Lagos state project

Jennyclay:
Now that they've jam their mate, they couldn't do anything but they know how to kill innocent citizens. Shior!!

Rip to the departed souls oo!

It might be pertinent for you to note that it is the good ones amongst the force you despise that got killed

God1000:
Lol, you are funny man.

Elections will come and go, don't be too hateful.

lhordspy you need to understand the level of marginalisation, nepotism and injustice in Nigeria, southeast should at least produce the next president after Buhari.

I don't praise anybody calling Nigeria a zoo, that's completely unacceptable, but let's not revisit the past for the sake of our unity.

I want to tell you today that I'm not Igbo, I'm from Benue state, but I believe in Peter Obi, that's why I'm supporting him

I initially supported Osinbajo but he lost to Tinubu, I can't support someone I don't believe in

Please nothing like South East should produce the next president. We just want the best person on the seat regardless of religion or tribe.

If the country had been handled well, no one would care about the religion or tribe

KingOfTheDamned:
Yoruba and lies

Yorubas tribe of fraudsters
Ibos tribe of drug dealers

But when these people see my Bini people they start to talk anyhow as if we damage Nigeria reputation the way they do.

But men I hate yorubas ... I hate theme ith a passion... I will rather live naked and hostage with a band of rabid extremist Fulani herdsmen than live with Yoruba person.

If I had my way give me an ak47 I will go into any Yoruba mall and open fire endlessly reload and open fire repeatedly relaoad and repeat . Ticking off Yoruba Men women and children...

That tribe is satanic and the problem in Nigeria.

Whenever I am home in Bini and see a Yoruba person.. my lord I feel like splitting their skull open with a machete ..

In not a violent person I just hate the Yoruba tribe sooooo much ... They are the evil we have in southern Ñigeria.

They are satanic and evil

Seun Mynd44.....I believe this account should be flagged to the authorities

funshint:
Hear nonsense....a good leader will see a problem even before they occur

I don't think that is factual. Everybody gets blindsided at a point in time. It's like saying a good leader should expect that covid will happen

Labalaba23:
I was advised to save my money in dollars coupled with the recent naira crisis. Now, I plan to go to Rwanda to meet a woman. I love pussy so much, and Lagos girls are too entitled. Imagine someone demanding #5M for birthday. My budget for this month in Rwanda is $7k. All on woman

You don't have much money to be spending that amount on women.

Supersdotng:
Nigerian lady identified as Anita Oghenero John has called out her partner for insensitively breaking her heart.

She said that he married a few hours after she had a phone call with him, during which he spoke normally as if he was not preparing to marry someone else.

Anita sobbed and released a video clip and photos of them when they were still together and things were going well.

The heartbroken lady described her ex as a devil in human form and she warned other ladies to be wary of men like him.

She obtained her ex-wedding boyfriend’s photos and video clips after they were forwarded to her over WhatsApp.

According to her, they were together only days before his wedding and she wondered how she would recover from the pain.

Sharing the video, Anita wrote;

“My boyfriend got married few days after I last saw him and few hours after we spoke on the phone‍ I don’t even know how to heal from this.”

Watch the video below:

him getting married to another girl doesn't mean he doesn't love her or he won't marry her. Our society supports multiple wives

Persephone1:
I love your contribution and I am pleased you try to make others see from men's perspective. Believe me, i understand your points as well. I am not one to throw allegations or speak ill of people without trying to understand what made them who they are. From my write up, i insult no one but rather blame the society for raising both genders the wrong way.

Most Nigerian marriages do not last anymore, they are not standing the test of time. The modern marriage is nothing to write home about due to evolution i.e changes in our ways of lives. There is a shift but Men want to retain traditional benefits of being Men.

Women are taking just as much as financial responsibilities men take, you will hardly see a home where Men provides all in this Nigeria economy yet women are expected to continue with traditional homes. You all play this providing card so much that one is left to wonder if women don't also share responsibilities in the homes anymore. How may Men can successfully run a home singlehandedly?

Most Men lose interest in Marriage because they can't keep up, they have lost the bargaining power and are yet to understand or conform to the new dating norms. Thats where their issues lies, they don't know how to be in "control" because things have changed. They suffer reality shock because contrary to what they were raised with, they need more that having a manhood to thrive in the society.

The truth is Most men weren't raised with love in the Nigerian culture, that is why it is found wanting in typical Nigerian Man.

I have always asked what exactly is the benefit of getting married?

I for one I am happy with the divorce rate which just shows that people are realizing the need to live free and not just exist in a contraption that serves no purpose.

I hope one day our society gets to the point where men don't feel the need to be responsible for everything around them, where women also share the same responsibilities as men and vice versa.

At that point everyone gets their wish. Women will learn to be providers and protectors, Men will share the responsibilities at home, concept of her money is her money and his money is our money no longer exists, girls get to woo men just as much as men do women.

We also get the same number of women and men in the military.

He is a clown I can remember him then saying it.

cam you share a link to the video.

I think if he comes out on national tv to deny it, he probably said nothing of the sort.

GBTYO:
Fool , just this month past , the bank has raked over 10k from me just by using their app to transfer funds for payments for virtually everything.

They want to be the unwanted middle men in every transaction .

Why can't you fools see that this only benefits the banks and no one else.

It benefits everyone. I am mainly cashless and some months I don't even make cash withdrawals

Naijanascam:
From a confirmed Stateman that thinks about the Next generation not a politician that always thinks about next Elections.......
Cashless policy will benefit us all in the end.. but many rogue bankers are the real saboteurs making it hard to people to get the new notes because of pure greed and wickedness.....

This isn't as straight forward as you think. This is already in the machine so it will be dispensed at some point. This looks like cash management
