Biden was shaky shaky but many people shouting down Tinubu's health right now preferred him to Trump. You see Tinubu, Atiku, Obi will not solve Nigeria's problem until the Nigerian fixes his mentality and character flaws. Only you can fix yourself. Our leaders are a product of the followers. If we are getting bad leaders every 4 years, then it's the people that need to change first.

Finally,I see someone who understands my preaching to the gullible masses.

Black Africans or let me say Nigerians are naturally selfish, egocentric and wicked. It all started from family settings( which is the basic unit in society). If you cant help your relatives, friends,neighbours, etc as private individual, there is no way you can exhibit the same feelings/character toward the larger society.

People always forget that their leaders are products of their society. We are as corrupt as people leading us.

80% of handsome men, I mean men who are truly handsome are lonely and bored most days of their life because people mostly try to stay away from them...

Women assume they have a lot of girls flocking around them which is not always true.

Some men are afraid or jealous to be friends with them so as not to cause problem with their wife/fiancees/girlfriend.

Same can't be said for pretty girls, who men flock around with.

True or false

That is not true, handsome men get the most beautiful girls around with ease. Even the broke ones are getting super hot girls. Girls use find their ways to woo the shy or introvert ones among them.

duro4chang:
Where I do vote nothing like that.

You will never notice.

This is how it works, they gather the voters with comfirm PVC names(especially women and elderly ) through their local agents or sure boys in the area and promise them the money. Associations like, Tailoring, hairdressing, Barbing, Mechanic etc can also be approach through their chairmen. The members would be call to a meeting where the promise would be made.

On election day,all of them know themselves, and the style to use to show their votes to agents would be giving to them a day before election.

They dont just approach a random person at pooling centre except they see you as someone they can convince with money.

duro4chang:
Man must wack now. Collect indomie vote your candidate and go and cook your indomie , eat and sleep.

Is like you never go to Pooling units before. You must stylishly show your thump print to the party agent standing at strategic spot before they give you money.

Funny people everywhere, you called this eye sore poor architectural design thing like old Emier palace best facilities?

Rastaramsey:

See wetin our Politicians no fit do 9
Na only to thief thief them Sabi...

She come tall join. Perfectly created by God.

helinues:
GEJ and Atiku both won online but not in the real election.

You guys can continue with your online winning

Arguing with some political novices on Nairaland is a mere waste of time. Anyone who does not know that majority of real voters are illiterate/semi- illiterate
Who are mostly influence by money on election days is not worth discussing Nigeria politics with.

I can bet with anything that 80% of people you see collecting PVC today are doing so for personal use and not to vote. Majority of online analysts and supporters wont step out of their comfort zone on election days. Some will go for accreditation and wont go back there to vote. Those that will dedicate their time and energy to pass through the rigorous/frustrating process by INEC officials will do so for money.

Nigeria electoral process is not a child play,not something you can just seat down at the comfort of your home and be predicting like many Petet Obi supporters are doing on internet.

I like Peter Obi personality as well, if you want to help him, go out physically to campaign for him, not all this childish online calculations.

So many, the worse of them all is disruption of sex.

Munzy14:
I think you are clueless about the subject of discuss..

You further confused your confusion with mistaking Inferiority complex as definition of Introverts.

Introverts are extremely intelligent humans..In research, most genuis are Introverts.

Introverts can be talkative when they interact with intelligent people whom they are comfortable with.

As simple as I my post was, you cannot comprehence.

I stated it clearly that there were 3 classification of introverts, people who are intelligent/wisdom,low self esteem, and clueless people.

Besides, stop being a narrow minded person, learn to read well or think twice before you insult people,

Being introvert is a result of low self esteem, cluelessness or wisdom.

People with wisdom rarely talk anyhow, they mind their businesses and always think deeply before they speak.

People with low self esteem too are mostly introverts, they avoid public or associate with people.

Most clueless people too are introverts.

To those attacking me, I am not a politician, neither did I hate or wrote against Peter Obi, I was only stating the fact that his big boys opponent would soon finish him with propaganda on the same internet he used to be more popular.

One thing is to be delusional, another thing is to refuse to acknowledge the reality on ground. I am done with Peter Obi internet supporters who think someone in a party that dont have tangible structures in all states of federation but will use the votes of 1 region to become a president.

Mysticwebb:
Majority is what wins an election. Majority of Christians all over the country will not support him if that is done. Your support which just comes with a vote will not change anything.

I am a Christian, but I can confidently tell you that SW will never cast their votes along religions line.

Personally cant do that, I prefer competency over anything else.

Ceenaija:
Peter Obi will spring surprises to the amazement of many . There will be protest vote that will caught across length and breadth of the nation.
Mark my word Peter Obi will be next president of Nigeria by the lord programming.

The crying and suffering of the people have reached to the throne of heaven.

Peter Obi candidacy is more of internet thing, too early for the real campaign. By the time big boys use propaganda reason his matter in the same internet, he will lose 70% of his fans within a week.

Paying 200 was not easy then too

Yes agreed, not too easy,but my exact point is that, cement was very cheap those days. If you can get 2 bags of cement and still have some change from TF to my home town,and you cant buy even one bad with TF to my home town now, then those days were better than now.

I knew alot of petty traders who built magnificent houses those days, the same cannot be achive by the same petty traders now.

majamajic:
Making 4k is much easier now than making 88 naira then , cos I have grown in 91

Who tell you this? Did you live in 1991 for you to be saying this? From the best of my knowledge, 88 naira was not hard to get in 1991.

Transportation to our home town back then around 1991 was #200, and it is around 2500 from where I am now( which is still farther than where we lived back then).

Cement should be one of cheapest commodities, but cost of production couple with lack of electricity make it difficult for manufacturers to produce at low cost.

@op, except we are just deceiving ourselves, if you want to eat better and good, that amount is not too much for a family of 5.

Even if you buy things in bulk, you will still need to spend around 3k - 5k for a soup that will finish in 3 days. Calculate that in a month and remove from 100k. Remember she will still get eggs and provisions for the children out of the money.

Things are just too expensive in Nigeria.

LushLady:
My family is five as well,things are very costly in the market but what I do is that I go to market once in 2weeks,and some of the things doesn't finish till next 2or 3 months so it reduces the cost when I'm going to market next time.
I buy everything I will need to cook till the next two weeks except fresh vegetable.
Please discuss your wife to know how you people can manage.
Like me I do buy
Hot chocolate half paint
Milk half paint
Spaghetti 1 pack of 20
Palm oil 5ltrs
Groundnut oil 5ltrs
Indomitable 1 carton
Yam
Potatoes
Beans
Rice
Maggie
Spices
Bread
Onions
Crayfish
All these buy I bulk and keep at home,and also cook 3 different types of soups and stews and stocked in the freezer.I also did pap too and stocked in the freezer.
Discuss with your wife and buy things in bulk this way you will not be going to market all the time.
All these I listed above 50k can buy them.

50k cant buy all you listed above nah.

Rice,oil, spaghetti, indomie and beans alone will almost finish the 50k.

Arkhanmu:
I married my wife in Kaduna two years ago. During those period we were dating, we were very much apart due to distance. She stayed in Kaduna while I worked in Lagos.

During few times of my personal meeting before our wedding, I noticed huge communication between her and this man. I called her attention to it but she just waived it aside saying they are just friends as Ex (stuff). She joined me up in Lagos after the marriage but the communication between them still continued.

This is a woman I have sacrificed so much for in my life by providing her basics need with the children even though not huge like that. She told me the Ex is a Doctor and they have nice experience together while dating back then. I have adviced even begged her to stop this communication as it it very hurtful and insulting to my personality but she won't stop. Instead she secretly calls and requests money from this guy in almost different occasions.

At a point in time in the past when she went to Kaduna to get her transfer from work place to Lagos, she still visit the guy even as she is heavily pregnant that time. I was able to get the idea through her bank account statement when the same guy send her money for what business I don't understand. It is almost 2 years of our marriage now, I am starting to regret why I marry her initially even as I noticed much difference between us; she is from Southern Kaduna while am from Ibadan.

I wish I have married my tribe whom I can easily understand. Just yesterday night I see another 4k alert from the same guy to my wife. I am really pained though I have not confront her. See guys, I have 2 boys, twin, I take care of them, buy food and all.

Though my work is not going fine but I try my best to make her happy but it seems she is not built for me. I don't really know what is going on again in my life as I am heartbroken.

Maybe the man is even in Lagos most times self. Many things are just running through my mind.

You are just giving yourself unnecessary headache.

You dont take a woman who is still communicating with her Ex with kids glove, you also dont need to complain at all, just give her a stern warning that the day you ever see her communicate or exchange messages with him is the day you will send her out. Be serious about it with strong face.

After this, i can bet she will do everything to limit their communicates and delete all the messages that always give you heartbreak. Your peace of mind is important than anything else in your life, and whatever you dont see or know wont give you heartbreak. So it better they communicate withiout your knowledge than for you to die of heart attack.

Ddokie:
That is my focus. While i am hoping that a miracle happens and PO wins it, but you see that statement of giving PO very significant votes, it will change the political narrative in Nigeria forever.

Exactly.

PO cant win in the current political climate, but Igbo should use that to make a statement for their region. If they fail this time, the presidency will still go other way in the future elections.

obyrich:
It is not about Igbos or Peter Obi. Every ethnic group suffered from this political experiment called APC. So we should carefully scrutinise not just the candidates but the team he is working with. Let whoever will take this country forward emerge winner.

I was not talking about candidates performances but marginalisation of Igbos by two major political parties. It is not the fault of these political parties to ignore Igbos but for the sake of reality on ground.

It is a simple logic, no political party will zone or pick its major candidates from a region that cant give it a block votes. Politics is a game of number and influence, and the reward system only favour those who made the sacrifice and bring something tangible to the table. If Igbos can show their voting strength by giving a block votes to a particular candidate, they will use that to bargain with other regions or political parties to favour their candidates.

Nice selection but Thiago.

I think this is a good development. If Igbo can give more than 7 millions votes to a particular candidate in the next election( even if the person did not win), no region will take them for granted again.

godwon01:
A lot of guys always like to condem the national team all the time. Seirraleone is a country you should know that. The era where Nigeria is dominating Africa football is over. Football is politics now and each governments are using it to promote their government. Appreciate the players abeg.

Nothing special about those Sierra Leoneans, we are the ones suffering from weak mentality. Imaging Izoho wasting time against 100th plus ranking team in the world.

The team need mentality of a lion to get back to their former glory.

Ngolo55:
. You want to relegate an ex Vice President to a minister? Is it an insult or ment ?

He can represent the country internationally at various capacities.

Ambassador to AU, United Nation( and its organs), Ecowas, EU, etc.

I just hope he ever get that opportunity gain after his perceived backstabbing behaviour.
