LagosOrigin:
Obi is highly respected and loved

He's a big asset anyday anytime

If he is respected he will send for them and not going up and down begging them.

Kukutente23:
Ramblings of a sycophant
So how have the talents been doing since he has been unearthing them? Is Adelabu among the talents? Out of the 48 talents he appointed as ministers, you can barely count 5 that are having any meaningful impact.
Talent my foot.

We have had one of the best talents in power ministry. A brilliant professor of electrical engineering. An igbo man. He failed in power ministry but doing well in his private business associated with electricity. This should tell you that the problem of power is deeper. Like the oil mafia and the subsidy mafia. Everyone that has been there failed.

Political appointments in Nigeria at national levels are complex. So many are not based on competence. If he goes ahead to appoint based on competence mainly from a particular section you will go about shouting marginalization.

Even if you hate PBAT he's widely credited with unearthing talents. Look at the quality of Lagos governors. Every new one appears to be better.

shortgun:
But he said "na statistics we go chop?"
What does he know about planning, objectives and strategies when he doesn't know the importance of statistics in National development and governance.


I seriously doubt Tinubu saw the walls of any school with his abysmal performance.
A 200l student in any faculty will run Nigeria better than Tinubu. He's just a complete failure

Your Peter Obi doesn't know what he's saying. You don't know what he's saying either.

You don't borrow short to finance long. A lot of Nigeria's past borrowings were short that were used to finance long term projects. The projects couldn't finance the loan repayments and yearly earnings had to be used to repay thereby straining national annual budgets.

FYI Lagos state under Tinubu was the first state in Nigeria's history to go to the bonds market to borrow. The investments financed the loan repayments. Tinubu is teaching you what he practiced.

michoim:
For which he is the chief poor planner...

You didn't understand what he said. Say the truth. Lagos under Tinubu was the first state in Nigeria's history to go to the bonds market to borrow. The funds were for long term projects and they have paid of today. Repayment has been so easy.

SmartPolician:
Just because you are in a hurry to defend your oppressors, you couldn't even read well. You now changed my 50k to your yeye 500k.

FYI, NDDC pays people they train under similar scheme 50k every month.

Grow up!

I understood what I wrote perfectly. What I mean is that hence what the government offered freely is low for you let the government pay #500,000 na to please you.

NDDC is an intervention agency with strict constitutional allocation solely for the Niger Delta. What they are offering is meant to appease the people from the oil producing states for the damage done to their environment through oil production. Your comparison don't tally.

Racoon:
Wale Edun served in a government that hates the truth and paid for it with his reputation if he has any. Tinubu does not like truthful or clean people.

What can be drawn from the Edu issue:
PBAT can easily take any decision against anyone no matter how close you may be to him. It's the hallmark of a tough leader.

He's good at unearthing talents. For every position he has several quality but unknown replacements. That's what is working in Lagos. Apart from some of us that know Taiwo within the professional circle that he is brilliant he was little known nationally. Tinubu has unearthed him and brought him out to national limelight. They are many on the line. There are also the well known ones like Ben Akubueze resting and ready to be deployed.

Bentacur007:
They know that other countries are monitoring the judgement.. I wonder why they are postponing the judgment

So much ignorance by Nigerians. The justices heard the arguments of the counsel to parties today and you expect them to manufacture judgement immediately.

Do you know what it takes to arrive at a judgement more especially pen it down. Do you know the weight of the SC's judgement in our jurisprudence?

Googledotcom:
Carcass party. Nigerians have moved ahead.

ADC all the way !

Only two serious parties in Nigeria today have released their timetable. The others are busy doing membership registration and arguing in court about leadership. After APC and PDP there's no other party in Nigeria.

SmartPolician:
How can the FG pay the trainees 22k not even 50k? Is that enough for transport or feeding for a month? 😏

No government will pay those studying vocational training for free #500,000 per month to please you. Were they paid one naira before? Is it not rare privilege for someone to be studying for free and be given stipend at the same time? Some Nigerians expect government to be feeding them like babies. Mtchee mtchee.

tonesky:
I used to like Goodluck but I detest his behaviours after leaving office. Buhari hated igbo's simply because they voted and supported Jonathan during 2015 election. All through Buhari's tenure he was frequently visiting Aso Rock but never for one day speak or solicit for Igbo's whatsoever. All the injustice igbo's received he never spoke against it as an ex-president and Wike paid back the Igbo's with rigging of 2023 presidential election against Obi in Rivers State. Now, Jonathan is visiting Tinubu hmmmmm......

All this tribal rubbish is the reason why that you changed your mind and started hating Jonathan. Jonathan is not a tribal bigot like your Obi. Mtchee

ijayalolo:
As long as all your documents are genuine and your 'truth' is consistent you are good to go. I am a living example. Went for my post graduate in US 15 years after my Bsc. No need to tell you my age, definitely older than your 31



Thank you for your attention to this matter

Yours is postgraduate. His is undergraduate at 31. The major embassies will be very sensitive. He will need to do a lot to show that it's studies that he's after.

osuofia2:
Hope have surpassed all the governors in the history of IMO. Hope really surprised me

Big question:
Where is he suddenly getting the money from?

Answer: Tinubu's policies are making more funds available to the states. Again he works closely with center. Benefit of belonging to the government at the center.

Alliswell248:
A whole 1.15 trillion naira missing.
What a big lie.
Don't allow hatred and bitterness turn you to low life thinker.

They do not understand that there is a difference between budgeted amount and actual amount spent based on funds realized.

sacajawea:
We know that.
Question one., what happens to the money?
At rthry recovering it back?

2. did he actually think he could take all that and it will just go?? We know stealing of crazy happen, Nigeria is easily one of the highest in the world, but budgets? Fundamental Money? How will that possibly happen?

If I understand the writer well, the information that he conveyed was not missing funds but non release of funds in the capital budget. This will of course affect execution of projects in the budget.

A budget doesn't mean that the cash is there. In the course of the execution anticipated funds may be short. The budget master in this case minister/minister of state is expected to work so hard to ensure that there is no misapplication(using funds meant for x for y) because of shortage. This is not always easy because of competing needs.

A budget master that is not strong might fail in this because of pressure and some projects will suffer non release of funds. This does not mean that there is misappropriation (stealing) of funds.

The worst part, the war was for only 35 days yet they've run out of everything lmaoo. Jokers.

Paper tiger army.

That's why Trump is insistence on negotiations now. He has unilaterally extended the ceasefire indefinitely. He knows that he will run America empty if this war continues.

Naijahero1:
It's unfortunate that a man as good as Pete Edochie would give birth to a foolish son who supports a drug lord and shady identity. If it had been Soludo, it would have been better. Hundred million could be transferred to IG by mistake.

Today is April 21st 2026. The day of reckoning for ADC is Wednesday, 22nd April 2026. To be or not to be.

Sheuns:
The honorable thing is for that INEC chair to resign.

Even if he claims to be non partisan, no one would believe elections conducted under his leadership will be fair.

No be must make you chair INEC.

The opposition will not face the main issues.

Electoral act that was in the national Assembly for months. Passed through several stages and processes, they couldn't spot out what they don't want and ensure through the parliament that those changes are effected. After the bill was passed and signed into law agitation started. Proper campaign after election.

They acquired another party. No due diligence was conducted. You sidetracked the original owners and suspended them. When multiple court orders came to INEC and INEC decided to be neutral by not recognizing any of the factions, they began to shout that INEC chairman should be removed.

APC has been on e-registration of their members long ago. When INEC gave a deadline for submission they said that APC had insider information and that INEC is against them.

APC has published their electoral timetable and procedures. They have submitted same to INEC. ADC is still talking about their leadership issues and time is running fast against them. They are not in serious efforts to be ready but go about granting interviews on removal of INEC chairman, how Tinubu has not done anything, how Tinubu will rig the election etc.

Elections will soon be around the corner. The party that is prepared and ready will win but they will go about shouting rigging and how the courts have been compromised.

In indeed it's not a tea party to be a successful opposition. Let the present opposition be humble and go to Tinubu to take lesson notes on successful political opposition.

AOB1:
Tinubu no go sack that man and also the shameless man will not resign.
Nigerians it is what it is

Ignorant people. So they don't know that INEC chairman has a fixed term approved by law. There must be circumstances on which he can be removed. The president cannot on his own remove the chairman.

I wonder the type of politicians and law makers that we have.

callmeDDD:
Wale edun has been saying the facts about the government recently and condemning the borrowing spree. May be one of the reasons he is shown the way out. They will say he doesn't believe in the government .

Borrowing decisions comes from budgeting. Is Wale saying that he has not been part of the budget?

Hemanwel:
What about the Minister of Darkness?

Tinubu's sacking next year is sacrosanct! We are voting the ADC from top to bottom

What is new in ADC? We know all of them. Meanwhile today is 21st. One day to go concerning ADC. The day of reckoning is 22nd.

NgeneUkwenu:
That is how a serious party conducts its affairs.

Congratulations to all the progressives!

APC is miles ahead of the rest.

LordBiden:
Then the big question is if he cannot manage ordinary party wahalas,how then can he manage Nigeria?

How can he defeat the cabals holding the electricity sector.

What about the cabals in the oil sector.

How can he manage the northern elites problems.

He is good at talking on T.v interviews while dishing out statistics but I doubt he has what it takes to manage Nigeria.

Obi should just negotiate for a finance minister port folio.

Which finance minister? Do you mean kabukabu finance minister? What is his background? Where is his experience?

completeskills:
The honourable thing to do is resign. Even if the claim is false. This is because no matter how transparent he tries to conduct the election, there is already a public bias to where his loyalty lies. He does not need to force things. ...Just go for peace to reign.

Then another person will be appointed and if he doesn't make Obi president then obedients will ask him to resign and again we appoint another and another.....

Daguccizgreat:
Zone b write in your dialect if English is hard for you. Suffer head

So you have never had typographic error before? So because the system typed "he" instead of "is" that is how you have become a professor of English language and English has become difficult for me? You are funny 🤣

Maj196:
All these small small countries don see Nigeria finish. Kai, e no go better for our leaders oo

The man is correcting you that you so much malig your country on the Internet but he is not seeing it as he has.

The foreigner is more protective of the image of your country than you. You abuse your country and don't see anything good.

brain54:
Thank God he said his personal opinion...


Not some vision or prophesy from God.


I really think it's unnecessary a pastor climbing the pulpit to give such personal political opinions though!

My brother this is not how they trained us ooo as pastors. I will not mention the name of my church because I know that the haters will come but it's not permitted for any of us to preach politics in support of any person or party from the pulpit. You can have your personal opinion but never on the pulpit.

The reason is that your members are supporters of different parties. You must be conscious of this.

Daguccizgreat:
Nice one there. If Nigerians fail to do the right thing now, they will be doomed

What is new concerning any of them? Have they not been in government before? What was the result?

SadiqBabaSani:
OK MOVEMENT is a loud one, it will be problem for Tinubu giving him and Aso Rock real problems, but it won't take them to Aso Rock, the people there in Aso Rock are hell bent on remaining there by any means necessary, only Western pressure on EYENEC can help the process to be free n fair

Na movement we go chop? Kwankwaso's political links are only in Kano? Mention prominent (I mean prominent) politician that is ready to work for Obi. Obidient movement exists only online.

GlobalWay:
How do you mean pls?

Truly, only ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM that Created us all is undefeatable
See: https://www.nairaland.com/8656897/unbelievable-obafemi-destroys-brock-lesnar

Let me tell you:
If they win there will be power struggle. If Atiku wins he will take all. Others will get annoyed and leave.

If Obi wins he will be sandwiched between northerners. Atiku owns the party. He must do their bidding. If he refuses they will scatter the party.

If they lose it will be to your tent oh Israel because there is no party abinitio. APC will still control the national Assembly and number of states.

How will they be successful running the federal government? All their focus is on Tinubu. They are not considering these implications if they win. ADC is not a party jor.

Who cares? If ADC win they will scatter and if they lose they will scatter too. This is the principle of joint venture.

ArcSEMPECJ:
You mean even how a man with no trace of family background, siblings, no trace of the schools he attended from primary school to university, no trace of his classmates , no trace of his kinsmen accepting they know him in the State he said he came from , you mean how this man became President of a Country does not bother you?

You lots need Brian evaluation..... someone you are better than, atleast you know your origin except if you also came from Oshodi corridors, then I don't think we have anything to discuss ..

The same person worked in Exxon Mobil up to senior level.

Became governor of a state that is the fifth largest economy in Africa. Laid the foundation its greatness.

Became a political kingmaker that you secretly admire.

Is presently the president of your country at first attempt. Your Lord and personal saviour has been dying to be a vice president.

Isn't God wonderful? Isn't this man blessed by God?

aworatak:
Atiku really goofed on this one. For him to have allowed this woman who was this close to emerging as the governor in 2023 to slip off his finger doesn’t speak well of him.

They will blame Tinubu and APC.
