Kind to data boys?
Keep deluding yourself, Most Nigerians will break your head if you say this to them.

Lol. Most Nigerians, including you, are human resources that need to improve. Why won't you suggest "most Nigerians' will attack.me when, as Omokri concluded, they are only focused on Rice and Eba while lacking capacity to understand they too should be part of the solutions mix?

That is what we should be working on improving. I.e the intelligence quotient of Nigerians, so they can provide solutions Nigeria needs, instead of going around with a misguided sense of entitlement.

All people like you know to do is threaten violence based on how, condemnably, Nigerians seem to have gone backwards and become more savage.

Nigerians are a people who actually need far more intellectual capacity and sophistication if they are going to be able to create solutions for themselves as all developed nations of the world have managed.

You are not ashamed bragging Nigerians will break my head because I have my own belief, as I am entitled to that you do not agree with, about who should lead us?

Read what moniepoint CEO said. It applies to you. You are no different to bandits and terrorists who believe they can unalive strangers they do not know simply because of primordial prejudice against them.

All of you are responsible for the brutal and dystopian Nigeria we have today where Nigerians are desensitised to death and killing yet you somehow believe others are the problem while you are virtuous and saintly.

SeverusSnape:
Same way the present PIG in aso rock sponsored those terrorists during Jonathan's time, right?.

Lol. Mr President is a kind and decent human being who has nothing to do with terrorism. The whole world knows that.

Perhaps you are confusing him with your candidate who was sponsoring Awkuzu SARS terror, dismembered bodies in Anambra River etal, through James Nwafor who has now vanished into thin air

AMINDA:
Pathetic. The killings in Yelwata, Benue state and Plateau where Tinubu only stopped at the airport is the work of the opposition too. Well, he should know. He was the opposition in 2015. The killing of Nigerian soldiers in Kaduna today by "repentant bandits" is also the work of the opposition. He was fast to impose a state of emergency in Rivers but is powerless against the opposition that wants to spoil his government.

You guys are really funny. Always on the wrong side of history and what is best for Nigeria. We will see how the things go. Dorime na.

Okpebolo is 100% correct. Good guys, at no stage in history, have ever won capitulating to terrorists.

Personally sad innocent Nigerians are collateral damage for these desperate born-to-rule marauders sponsoring terror but good will prevail over evil in the end.

DomPerignon:
That's all you have now abi?

Peter Obi has been rejected by the north since

The northern Christians will not be fooled twice on his sainthood after they have seen how desperate he is by hobnobbing with characters like El Rufai and Kwankwasso whom the US Congress declared as one of those suppressing religious freedom in the north.

Your Obi will not win any state outside his SE.

He has opened his gutter mouth to say that a landmark project that will open up the prime coastal lands in the SS are a waste of resources .

Same resources that are sourced from the same oil rich coastal enclaves .

You think SS people are fools abi?

Wait till 2027 and find out.

Then there's the issue of you obidients insulting the living daylights out of Yoruba people every single second on social media.

Your obi will not win a single state outside his SE and he will even struggle because that rigging he did through over inflation of votes will not be tolerated.

Tinubu will do very well in Enugu. He might not win , but he will do well. Same for Imo and Ebonyi.

That's my opinion too. He'll get required 25% in a few States of North Central, and Ditto for SS, but thats it.

Outright State wins for Obi will be limited to his SE I believe. Obi is now done. A busted flush.

mablie:
Lol
That cult completely ruined that agulu fraud,Peter Obi political career.

They are the most terrorist of all Nigerians political supporters. The fear of Obidients is the beginning of wisdom.

NwokoloOwa:
What has gone wrong with Datti?

Terrible

He has realised Obi is empty. Always happens with Obi. Kenneth Okonkwo was a passionate fan and supporter of Obi.

Today he cannot stand the Agulu fraud. Obi is not someone those who have been in any leadership role can respect or follow for long once they get close enough to him to note he lacks even the most minimal of leadership capacity.

Apcshit:
Thunder fire you

Lol. You don chop today? DM your account make I send you 20k.

kedeojo:
So you igbos now believe okonkwo is actually living in bondage abi. you see the hypocrisy some of us call u people out of. you guys didn't wait a minute to attack gov Eno of akwa ibom when he said he is living in bondage because he was in the same page with u guys but now that he refuse to join obi in National Dickson Party, you guys remember he now live in bondage.

Lol. Well-said.

@OP.

One thing that amuses me about you guys is your emotional investment in flawed human beings, to then turn them to messiahs, you are willing to fight others for.

You can insult Okonkwo all you want but there is truth in his claim that Obi does not have the capacity to lead Nigeria based on how he cannot even bring minimal order to the Labour Party whereas APC, likely one of the biggest and most dominant political Party in Africa, is solid and efficiently fluid under PBAT.

bluejay05:
Peter Obi can never win a presidential election in Nigeria, the north can not give him the desirable votes he needs with all his past actions. If you Obedients like, accept it, you f you like don't but the fact remains.

The northerners don't joke with their religion, these things that Datti is spitting out and the " yes daddy " audio have destroyed any of his chance.

Indeed. Obi has no chance in 2027. He won't do well in the SW because Yoruba Obidients of 2023, who seriously mobilised for him, have left his side after disillusionment with how Obi cannot manage Party leaderships structure.

The core North, even with Kwankwaso, he will not secure required 25% in one State of the NE and NW in my opinion.

SS he will not do anywhere near as well as he did last time because all leaders of the region are now firmly behind PBAT.

Middle belt, North central, he will have a decent outing but such won't be enough to matter overall. SE he will of course clear as we all know how those lot vote.

Yet several elections have shown their vote is inconsequential. Obi ti lule and I am very happy. Neither him nor Atiku must be President.

Quodseverismete:
Why is this man so pained, you could not win your polling unit let alone your state, and someone has moved on but you are here being pained, @Obi brought you to lime light in 2023, before then, nobody including myself don't know who you are, the only way to pay him back is to be vomiting th.rash?

I don't think he is pained. I believe there aren't many leaders who associate with Obi and not become severely underwhelmed and disillusioned with him upon realising he is totally empty and unfit.

That is the problem. Obi is all hype. Not many retain respect or adoration for Obi when they get to know him

Like taking a 'fine babe' home from a club at night to wake up with a frog by your side in the morning after wig, make-up, chest and butt pads have been removed lol. Fake, faker and fakest. Peter Obi niyen.

Zzxx:
Is either peter obi or nothing

Lol. Unless you are capable of miracles, best accept Obi is done in Nigerian politics. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Easily the worst the SE can produce.

DomPerignon:
Keep decieving yourself you hear.

When INEC returns Tinubu for a second term, we will be here to see you guys returning to your Biafra nonsense and your focus will be free Kanu

You are unconditional in the scheme of things in Nigeria

They think noise, bullying and intimidation can get Obi over the line. Will never happen. Obi will never be President of Nigeria.

I am not against an Igbo President per se but it should be folks like Soludo, Umahi, Ken Nnamani etal never the divisive, two-faced, religiously intolerant and pretentious bigot Obi.

Apcshit:
Thunder wey go fire you go soon hit you

I have to give it to you obidient. You are champions of uncouth and agbero political support. No one can drag that with you guys.

Lol. Obi the vagabond. I love that word as it describes Obi perfectly.

esnbrutality:
Ask your chatgpt...what NIGERIA is known for as refards foreign exchange income earner.

When you want to rave about SW, stay focused on only LAGOS. That was built by every tribe as the former capital territory.

Why NOT tell us about IGR of states like OYO..EKITI..and co? Aren't they SW again?

Go sleep...you ain't smart..at all.

Whatever. Later.

esnbrutality:
Tinubu opened his unwashed mouth and made promises that he can't keep.

He was duly rejected by people and had to steal the election to annex power.

Just stay on your lane with your lame excuses for a man that said if he doesnt provide electricity that people shouldn't vote him.

He will be voted out and if you gather your crew to disrupt the obvious aspirations of the people, you will be consumed by LOCUSTs.

Nuff Said

Lol. My mistake believing you are capable.of.civil exchanges. Have a nice day.

esnbrutality:
I dont mean well for NIGERIA because it's irredeemably lost. You can't support TINUBU and still shout 1 NIGERIA based on leeching resources and annexing wealth to your region. Moreover being polite to people like you is an insult.

Just show one post where I "shout 1 NIGERIA". The main problem of Nigeria is that we do not wish to accept we are very different and wrongly lumbered together by Lugard and the Brits.

I am a fan of a return of Nigeria to regionally autonomous governance.

Finally, what wealth is the SW "annexing"? Do you know how much wealth the region creates independently? Look, read and learn to.speak based on verified facts. Not what others tell you.

esnbrutality:
Human development capital is paramount in wealth creation and advancement of any society. Nobody disputes that at all.....and based on that submission the SE has shown equitably that they are the most advanced intellectually.

I ask, on what planet does a criminal like Tinubu pass all the yardsticks to be called president and supported by low-level thinkers like you guys?

Comparing and supporting Tinubu in particular defeats your facade of being exposed or educated. You can't makeup shallow and myopic reasoning with long useless epistles.

Failures...

How is Tinubu a "criminal" as you claim? Also, I don't believe you truly understand Nigeria and her complexities leaders have to navigate.

Tinubu means well for all Nigerians. That is a fact. Yes I can agree Nigerians are not having it easy today and that bothers me.

Yet it cannot be any other way because of what many previous leaders have failed to do for decades creating institutional and entrenched socio-economic decay that will need at least 20 years of reforms to turn around.

You are a stubborn boy sha so I don't expect you to see my point.

esnbrutality:
You learn and aspire to win more than loosing.

Being fulfilled is relative as regards individual goals...

..but...supporting nonsense to have satisfaction is demonic and essentially myopic.

Nuff Said

Lol. I see you are being more polite in talk. At least some sign of progress. Maybe you are not beyond redemption.

Nigeria's main problems revolve around how we failed to do what we must for decades. The rot has become grave and deeply entrenched. .

We then expect it can be reversed overnight. It took Singapore, a former colony of the UK as we are, around 30 years of reform to become the developed nations she is today.

British folks are even moving to Singapore for better lives.

Personally, I mean well for all Nigerians, potentially great nation full of wonderful people, but we should also be reasonable enough, as adults, to familiarise ourselves with the nature of our main problems so we appreciate the solutions..

Davinity:
The man doesn't play God like the other politicians

No. He simply lacks that capacity to command respect and be dominant as is needed in Nigerian politics.

Problem with most of you is that you are not pragmatic thinkers.

You see UK and US democracy and believe Nigeria should be like that when we are not even 70 years close to reaching their level.

Nigerian politics has no institutional integrity. It is still feudal and adversarial, not solutions driven, because the various main ethnic group are always engaged in a cold war in their quest to dominate.

Atiku, for example, will return currency arbitrage that helped his region dominate through bureau De Change sleaze that feeds a lot of Northerners etc yet is very bad for Nigeria.

Our CBN is world central bank of the year 2026 , for the first time ever, because of the fiscal discipline Cardoso has instilled.

Atiku will reveres that because he will do what favours the North to 'eat' and feed even if that is bad for our nation. That is the adversarial nature of Nigerian politics ordinary Nigerians never recognise.

All this crap you lot say about Obi's humility is worthless because it is a weakness in Nigeria. Obi should be a UK politician because the system there is evolved enough to accommodate what you people claim he is.

Nigerian politics is about strong men and Machiavellian prowess to overcome enemies. Wike is a great contemporary example.

Atiku, Tambuwal and the Fulani crew thought they had messed him up scheming him out of the 2023 PDP ticket that should have gone to the South.

Yet Wike succeeded chasing them all out of PDP, becoming a successful Minister of the FCT and a pal of the President.

That is how Nigerian politics works. You all should advise Obi to gain Rwandan citizenship and attempt to gain political office there. Not being able to work with korokoro reality before their eyes is the problem of most Nigerians.

lawani:
While they can argue for the well heads in their farms, the ones that are miles offshore is in another category entirely and the majority of Nigerian crude is gotten offshore. It is wrong for Nigeria to depend on oil but it is not wrong for government to take the oil as is done in most countries. Would you say individuals should take the oil? Government is not wrong to take the oil but they are wrong to have depended on it for decades. Government is no longer dependent on it. Then which ever government tier is controlling the assets, there is a sharing formula that favors the states bearing the oil. It is just like having a huge stake in a company without being the CEO. Bill Gates today is not the CEO of the Microsoft that he founded but he is gaining from there. You can give the assets to the states to manage while retaining the sharing formula and the difference will not be very significant

You don't understand my point. I believe ND officially deserves more for being the Goose laying the golden eggs.

Nigeria boxed herself into a corner not developing her human resources appropriately so it can take advantage of our many and abundant natural endowment to be as developed as Singapore God has not blessed as Nigeria.

The oil wealth of the ND belongs to Nigeria but, in the spirit of fairness, they should be properly compensated for being the source of Nigeria's mono-economy wealth.

Moving on from that, and as a businessman raised and educated in the UK since age 13, I see wealth and success is easy to to create in Nigeria.

What we lack is human resources optimally trained to literally pluck solutions abundantly around him/her and create magic. That is what we should invest in optimally.

If I were Governor of a State, say Ogun State both my parents are from, I would invest heavily in high-quality education and vocational training.

I would even facilitate exchange schemes for quality educators from the UK to come and teach/train Nigerians while our people go over there too to acquire high level skills to transform Ogun State.

Japan did it successfully. Our human resources is too poor to the extent it is depressingly inneficient at identifying solutions for Nigerian problems and we have to deploy foreigners.

I am even currently working on engaging UK property building expert to create a vocational training college in Nigeria to standardize high quality level of artisan skill for the construction industry.

Not Rocket science but current challenge is that the money has to be right because those with skills have to be paid what they are worth as expatriates.

We are failing because most Nigerians leaders don't understand that training/educating Nigerians optimally, as Awolowo did, can revolutionise our nation.

lawani:
There is nothing wrong in the government taking the oil as it is standard practice in the majority of oil bearing nations and in Nigeria the states are paid thirteen percent as derivation percentage which is something. Most of the oil are miles off shore

My point is simple. ND region suffer the brunt of oil exploration and commercial extraction that has negatives for oil-rich communities.

They should receive more to deal with how their communities have become Nigeria's transactional asset.

Also, it is condemnable a nation claiming to host many brilliant and educated people is focused mainly on oil and gas when we have so much to utilise becoming rich and privileged.

lawani:
The problem with the proposed six region structure is obvious. You can't put people in a box as you like as you would just be creating six new Nigerias. No ethnic group is too small to have autonomy.

I don't see a problem. Nothing is non-negotiable in life. Nigerians can talk and define their needs. That is the beginning of our march towards becoming a developed nation.

Smaller ethnic groups can decide regions they wish to align with and identify with homogeneously in a regional arrangement.

Writing empty and directionless NOVELs cant be termed critical thinking.

Small boy, listen and learn. Life is about winning and being fulfilled. Not beefing and fighting others as you have been indoctrinated to believe.

DomPerignon:
He is not from the SS but an ibo who still holds on to their colonial mindset that SS is still part of Eastern Nigeria.

The SE have always been against resource control and up till 1999, SE have collected fat more from oil distribution than the SS based on the population based distribution.

It's also on record that SS legislators staged a walkout over Obasanjo's 25% derivative to oil producing states..

Wabara even stated plainly that "it won't be beneficial to my people".

It was when Yaradua agreed to 13% that SE politicians began lobbying Jonathan to grant oil mining license to marginal oil fields in Anambra, Imo and Abia.

Even at that, their production levels combined is not even up to what Ondo produces .

Forget that guy .

He will claim Delta North today and tomorrow Ikwere but looks at his handle and tell me who from these areas will support that nonsense ESN.

Yeah, I know he is Igbo. I just had to explain to him that his empty noise is misplaced. SS oil and gas wealth should primarily benefit the region the most and then be a secondary asset to Nigeria because we have enough endowment, human and material, to not be depending on ND oil and gas alone for a nation of over 230 million people.

It is wrong how the entire Nigeria is feeding from the crude oil endowment of the SS while pollution and environmental degradation is all that many communities have to show for their endowment sustaining Nigeria.

Ken Saro Wiwa was advocating about this very fact. The 'tool' Obi, trying to be President today, was in bed with Abacha who executed Ken Saro Wiwa.

Nigerians overate themselves stupendously. Look at how much endowment we have yet everyone is focused on oil and gas.

We must invest heavily, perhaps even the highest percentage by far ever, in upgrading our human resources.

It will produce massive returns because Nigerian human resources currently is too poor.

esnbrutality:
The OYEL and GAS belongs to those you hate..so be rest assured that the OYEL and GAS will be used for those that need it to develop their region as a collective.

The largest known GAS deposits are in IMO and ENUGU States.

So know this and have Peace...

Unity begging is pathetic.

Nuff Said

I keep advising you to develop your critical thinking yet you never listen. Oil and gas must be utilised well but human resources, that can create solutions, defines life.

Anyone still unintelligently shouting oil and gas is simply at a rudimentary level of understanding what life is about.

I have always supported Niger Delta, feeding our nation, to get more from their oil and gas because I know the rest of Nigeria must regain the discipline and focus that made our definitive political leaders of old achieve so much before oil and gas wealth arrived.

With Cocoa wealth, Awolowo did so much to the extent modern day politicians should hang their head in shame.

Oil and gas wealth has been a curse to us and it is only your sort who do not understand that. We must try and return to a time Nigerians tried to be innovative and create solutions from what everyone has instead of the entire nation focusing on oil and gas wealth alone.

We created a mono-economy around crude oil. That's the main reason Nigeria is messed up today.

You all claim to have uni degrees and even Masters. How difficult is it for you all to understand we need to create a brain economy instead of you all focusing on and bragging about mineral endowment alone?

The quality and solutions-provision capacity of human resources is what matters most per the capacity of a nation to become rich and developed.

esnbrutality:
Obi has the people ...

Tinubu has politicians

Grow up and understand that lengthy posts are basically jargons .

You need to work on becoming better at critical thinking.

DomPerignon:
Vast share of daily crude production is not used as an energy source.

Rather it is used in developing synthetic resins that are used from everything from pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents , plastic derivatives like what 70% of your phone you are holding is made out of.

Once palm oil was used as an energy source to power steam engines as an alternative coal and as fuel to burn oil lamps in homes and street lightning across Europe. Palm oil was in high demand but it's cost spiked higher when electricity replaced oil lamps and diesel replaced it as engine fuel.

Despite it's relegation , palm oil is today more expensive than it was when it was used as an energy source despite production output today ten times more than it was when it was a major international trading commodity.

TBTB, have realized that crude oil is too valuable as a resource to be used as cheap fuel and that's why they are searching for alternative to crude oil in transportation.

You can't even dream of producing an EV car without crude derivatives.

Some great points. All developed nations have energy transition plans some felt they could reach by 2030 in their search for less reliance on fossil fuel.

Including the UK I've lived most of my life in. Yet, they have had to push dates forwards decades towards 2050 because the world is economically depressed and has not recovered from the devastation of COVID. This is a reality leaders are not confessing to.

They all con their people to win election but folks who dig beyond the surface know the world is in trouble.

I personally don't believe total phase out of fossil fuel, for green energy, can be achieved in less than 35 to 40 years from now.

In fact, I believe Nigeria will become significantly more important to the world because of our oil and gas endowment if we can be disciplined and focused securing best deals from a world becoming more protectionist and adversarial. Meaning oil and gas are becoming practically the most important commodities.

Even Trump's recent hijack of Maduro and Venezuela confirms that.

The US-Iran war demonstrated the fragility of the world's non-petrol energy insecurity.

Same broken record sound all the time.
It's always the current president that's the worst in history to you guys, that's why you never see the big picture. When was Nigeria ever on the verge of attaining food security? Under Buhari? Jonathan? Obasanjo? To you people the current president is always the worst ever, until the next comes in then this worst ever becomes the better option.

They are terrible. Always seditious, emptily rebellious, bigoted and prejudiced. Only their own is the messiah.
