Oga what happened to the usual Bitumen road?
And we have them here in large quantities, so this your question don't make sense.

I can see how okay you are.

Now I see why you made the kind of comments you just made up there. You have not been in this country, if you have, you will be aware when the analysis of bitumen and concrete roads were done and it was discovered that concrete last much longer than bitumen. Do you expect the roads they will do now to get sports after 3 years and they start doing the same road again? I am not in the Southeast but the roads that were done with concrete in Lagos in the last how many years have proven to be the best.

So, oga. Quality over quantity.

Let them all test their popularities in the primaries and let the winner get the presidential ticket. No contest, no ticket. Democracy must be allowed to flourish.

Few weeks ago I met a girl and kept contact with her.

Everything was going on smoothly until I asked her to come to my place.


I already prepared my mind for 'NO', and that's what I actually got. I felt it's the usual not wanting to appear cheap so I tried again, she said she was busy.

It was on a Saturday. I lock up and continued with my life. The next day (Sunday) Mancity and Arsenal had match and I wasn't missing it for anything.

If she had accepted to come over, I would have planned my schedules so as to watch the game after that be with her or so.

But since she wasn't positive after second trial I assumed she won't be coming again.

Lo and behold just before the end of 1st half, (after Dounaruma mistake that Harvertz scored) her call came in, and she wanted to come!


Told her I was watching match I'll call her when I'm done.

That was it.

After the game I called but she didn't pick up. Messaged her on WhatsApp but she's not replying.


Since then she's been giving me attitude.

She's supposed to let me know on time, at least a day before, so that I plan my day, not towards evening by 5PM of the same day.



It's not as if I rejected her, I just can't leave my match for her even though I later called.

Has anyone ever experienced such?

It's their way! wanting to pay you an unscheduled visit and expecting you to oblige.....as if the reason you were chasing how was because you had nothing doing. Just ghost her. If and when she wants to see you again, she would learn to give you an advance notice and not just an impromptu visit.

Cement work again?
These guys are part of the reason cement is out of reach of the common man, why won't cement be expensive?

So development should stop just because you cannot afford to buy cement for yourself? Are you okay.?

The owner of that hotel is under some hypnosis or is not in her right senses. Why would you have people lodge in your hotel and then ask some people in some garment to come burn candles in the hotel where people have come to relax, enjoy themselves and lay their heads?

Why do some people even act before they think? Has she tried to step into the shoes of this lodgers and even the staff?

I don't want to say what comes to mind before they start saying one is spewing rubbish but we really need to be careful how we do things.

Little did she even know that once you give out a place and collects money on business, that place doesn't belong to you for that period and you could even be sued for misbehaving, intrusion or invading of their privacy at that point in time.

Iyeku:
Which kind wahala be this for Peter Obi. Hope Peter won't go and join MTN

He will end up in APC. Go and write it down

Na lie! No be the same person. Check the name again, I've spotted the difference as follows:
In APM, the name is written in small letters while in NDC, the name is written in capital letters.

Check it out if it's not true!🤣🤣 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

Basic123:
To intelligent people only

After going through the write up,

Then look at Anambra,


Are you not really confused?

Is Anambra not supposed to be the model for whatever P.O is promising us..Is Anambra looking like the europe or America that humdeyin was talking about?

Thank God for the Internet which is the closest to what we have as time machine. Lets quickly check real time assessment of him as governor:

He's given his obidients lamba that he was the best governor in anambra and they've swallowed it like zombies. Go and check his followers, you would not find core Anambra indigenes who were resident in Anambra during his reign, only people from other states who have no minds of their own, who became his lovers on sympathetic ground.

Gunayo:
Some of you talk as if all the cells in your brain is dead. Cant you see the hand of Esau in their previous party. You want them to remain so that your messiah will ran unopposed. God pass una. Nothing can stop this OK movement from defeating APC.

Obidient spotted! You people can't make any meaningful contributions without passing insults. Let's see how NDC will accommodate you people with this mentality. I'm sure you people have not even gotten to your last bus stop. By the time you finish touring all the existing parties in Nigeria, you will rest.

I won't even be surprised if you would later seek to join the APC because looking for a back exit rather than staying to resolve issues when it comes is your greatest undoing.

Nelfund isn't an achievement. Increasing tuition and then turning students to debtors isn't an achievement especially when you can cut cost in other unreasonable areas to keep tuition low. Do you know not everyone is selected for the nelfund, or you think it's all the applications that sail through?

Also, to benefit you need to have a matric number, meaning you must be able to afford registration fee and even the first year school fees yourself before you are assigned a registration number than can now apply for nelfund ask anyone around. Anyone that couldn't afford to go to school when it was still very cheap will not be able to afford it now that accommodations and transportation and feeding is expensive.

NELFUND would not make any meaning to you because you're not in school, neither do you have any child in a tertiary institution.

One thing I don't really like is downplaying the efforts just because it doesn't benefit you directly. But those benefitting from the intervention will not trivialize the policy.

And saying that one needs a matric number to qualify! I doubt if you know the meaning of what you just said. The only thing that confirms that you got an admission is the matric number allocated to you. Or do you intend to go and apply for it when you're not in school and you expect an approval?

OneCandleAway:
But that is wrong. What we need is human capital development. Security. Bandits can operate on completed roads, bandits stopped a train already, can plant explosives to blow up train tracks. We need more investment in farming and that still falls under security because farmers have been driven by bandits.

I get your point. But, remember that security is a civic duty as well. The war can not be won except with collaboration of the locals. This is the reason state police should have been activated before now. But the funny thing is that the States that need this mostly are not even interested just because of the salaries and emoluments they would pay them. That stance has also not changed even as their monthly fiscal allocation have improved. In addition, religion is another thing that has made the security worse. We all serve the same God but that doesn't mean we should shield our friends and members of our churches and mosques whom we know are into all these things.

Human capital development, with the right infrastructure in place, that would come naturally because it would result in creation of direct and indirect employment. Already, there's intervention in agriculture and the states are also empowered to invest in their people. Interestingly, while some states are working on assisting their people economically and building schools and employing qualified teachers, some states are spending that money on things like pilgrimage, religion and other things. They all produce different results. But then, we all look the same but our needs are different.

Lastly, the NELFUND introduced by the federal government is working and helping families in the area of education and it has nothing to do with knowing people or having any connections in the government.

It is left for the states to look inwards, know the greatest challenges of their own people and solve it.

Also, remember that the local government now get their allocation directly from the Federal government. They should all play their role to ensure that their people are okay.

President Tinubu will not come to your domain to come and give you handouts. The government cannot make you rich, it will only provide for you and enabling environment to thrive.

Lordhanzo:
It was atiku hope to trap obi inside adc. Just like he trapped Wike and rendered him mad 😂

Obi repeatedly said there should be direct primary. Atiku did not have the numbers for that. He ran to Ibadan to recruit makinde, insisting on selection.

Why is atiku running away from direct primaries ? He owns adc ? Did Buhari build apc ? Did obj build pdp ? Atiku is not statesman. His last outing will end in disgrace

For all the Apc sycophants talking about obi. You do this out of frustration. Obi will run. !!!!!

You are just here attacking Atiku, Obj, and others, even the late Buhari you didn't spare. How's Obi's decision to leave the ADC in furtherance of his political aspirations the concerns of all those you mentioned there? Is it now their responsibilities to make decisions for him or tell him what and how to plan himself?

Obi went to join a party he was clearly told before joining that zoning was not on the table, yet he chose to join and now complaining that they refused to zone. No be juju be that? You join a party only to tell them the kind of primaries you want! What exactly is your value that you now have to start dictating to them what you want? What value have you even brought to the table?

It's a party and joining or leaving is within your rights as guaranteed in the Nigerian Constitution.

There's nothing as basic as paying your dues and building people as you move up the ladder of politics.

Paying your dues is the support you give several other politicians in ensuring their victory at the polls while building people is putting people in position and ensuring their growth and while prospering on your wings as you maintain the leadership while your reign in political position lasts.

Failure to do any of these will result in you standing alone in the cold when you need viable support and when it matters most. The organic support you gain from the masses is merely sympathetic and as such, can not get you where you want politically.

So, I suggest that he sits back, reflect and do a self-audit, to see if he actually stands a chance or not before proceeding. Except, of course, he just enjoys the cheering by his obidients or just want to remain in the limelight.

Tochukwu, why! Must you bring shame to your family by being in the news for the wrong reasons?

Cleanmouth:
Dave Umahi is a square peg on a square hole.

Fashola just wasted 8 years as Minister of Works. He couldn't fix the Suleja-Minna Rd. Abuja-Kaduna road was a disgrace to Fashola. Auchi-Ekpoma-Benin Road was an eyesore for 8 years under Fashola. Same with Okene-Lokoja Rd and Asaba - Benin Rd

You can hardly blame Fashola. He was equally an active minister but he just couldn't achieve much because the head of government at the time never prioritize infrastructure and as such, much funds were not made available for him.

The priority or legacy of any Head of government will determine the sector that would enjoy the attention...and as far as Tinubu is concerned, he believes if the roads are good, economy would improve, money would circulate better and the people's movement would not be impeded. So, he funds road projects and the minister, being an active civil engineer himself, followed up closely to ensure delivery.

Flangelo12:
But why is this news paining some people?

Because good news gives them diarrhea

Reference:
Agreed and that missing link is why most of them remain unviable candidates in my honest opinion. It is like trying to invest in a business that hasn't published a prospectus. Their supporters should know that it is pure gambling, unfortunate as this may sound and regrettably as this will turn out because this present government is begging to be forced against the superiority of alternative ideas.

Haba, the economy and insecurity were not as bad as this when Jonathan was removed via the ballot. It should be a lot easier to pressurize this government into a change of course or remove it if it remains intransigent. But the opposition.... just mediocre.

Very correct! But that would have been easier if the so called opposition had a direction. But up till today, even as elections are just a few months away, the directions are non-existent.

Instead, they even found it pretty difficult, out of greed and distractions, to maintain decorum within themselves.

Powerbandooo:
Let us be realistic, It is enough to live life well as a single guy, not married
Sometimes I will see nonsense writeup that someone who is making 500k as a family man is not enough,
The truth is where we will use see a job of 500k in Nigeria
This is Nigeria, anybody that is making 300k with a family of 4 or less is doing well, we should not let anybody pressure you

So for the 100k salary for a single guy it is fairly enough to live life managely well
Any writeup that will counter what I am saying is nonsense
Rent is paid every year, not something you pay daily

I disagree.

If you live in a place like Ibadan or Kwara, that 100k is enough to sustain a bachelor for the month, feeding and rent inclusive. But if you're married with, at least 2 kids, I don't know how you can do that.

Truly, rent is paid yearly but the least accomodation in a modest Lagos environment now goes for a minimum of 200k per annum, and that must be on the bush-like suburb. Not even when Lagos landlords have started the madness of increasing rent every year.

helinues:
This nonsense blackmailing should stop

Did anyone force Obi to join ADC? We shouted on this forum that ADC is the party Atiku want to use to contest in 2027 yet Obi still went ahead to join .

Why can't Obi form his own party after leaving LP? Must he be looking for ready made political party?

One cold bottle 🍾🍺 for you.

I love criticism, objective ones and it's within every one's right to complain, protest or criticize. However, criticising and castigating without making suggestions for a solution is all entertainment.

Someone, who's impact we could not feel in 8 years when in position is here complaining and whipping sentiment over the state of the economy and all of that, but never stated what he would do differently........... can't be taken seriously.

Now I can see some people blaming the government. Some even went as far as blaming tinubu for lack of maintenance of that restroom. That is quite myopic and unintelligent.

Tinubu is the president at the federal level. Truly this is a federal University. But the questions you should ask yourself are as follows: does the school have administrative department with junior staff and senior staff all collecting salary at the end of the month and even promotion?
Is school funded and get allocation from the Federal government for maintenance?
Does the school have top management staff who meets periodically to take decisions and get updates on everything that goes on in the institution?
If the answers to all the above are yes, then why encourages people to abdicate their responsibilities and instead of blaming them you are blaming the government at the federal level. Are you okay?
Is tinubu coming to the institution from Abuja to go and be checking their restrooms?
You cannot even blame the state government because that responsibility has been delegated!
Some people should think before the comment on public forums such as this.

Peaceful
Powerful
Abundant
Creative et al

It's now I see why some people make some comments on this platform. The level of education and understanding of most people here is ridiculously low.

How on earth would you discourage a course as vibrant as computer engineering?

Op, pls grab the opportunity. It will give you a solid foundation for tech because you will learn so many things like programming languages, maintain software and hardwares, write programs for systems and you will also learn how to solve complex maths and business problems.

Pls don't allow the opportunity to slip away.

Themandator:
Can't see any issue with the guidelines provided it doesn't require us to queue for another numbering


Government should make it easy for citizens to provide personal information and update the same



When is did my BVN, the bank staff didn't even know exactly what it was .

We were amongst the first sets because back then my account was every important to my bank as I did business really regularly and in digits they loved



So they just said , we have this form for you bllaa

I told them to fill in all my details with them


that is it turned out latter to be a networked information that will have to tally with other information in places like NIN and voters cards


Since then, reconciling the information has been a challenge.

My NIN birth date doesn't match with my other information and that if the NIN was actually the faults of the guy that inputted the data into their online server


I am now told that i need to pay almost 30,000 to solve that problem



Anybody wey promise free upgrade in those platform that him I go vote for in the dining election


I no need any other gift .. if Tinubu say him make am free for the next 6 months for Nigerians to update and online too because the first problem had to do with the pressure the guys was working under


Dazall

It is now 60k to correct date of birth on NIN. That is if the price hasn't moved again because I think it started from N9,000 or so

I'm not surprised. I'm only concerned that they can't stop bringing international shame to their families and generations.

The Indian government should keep catching them and punishing them according to the dictates of their policies on drug peddling because I'm now convinced that they can never change. Meanwhile, their leaders will not see this one to condemn.

Tenses:
Shishi vote you no go see for south East.


All these giving positions not mean nothing in SE. We need good governance that every citizens can be represented and proud of.

Always known that you people must have stomach disorders on this news.....and Bianca doesn't even send you. You want every citizen represented but this appointment is not part of representation? All your senators and members of the federal house of reps are not representation?

Una go wail tire! 5 more years to go.

Beautifulday:
Atiku and consultation in the same sentence?

Who has Atiku consultation this year. List two.

Atiku appeared in court how many times?

Who is Atiku in northern politics first. Go tweeter see as them they roaster am.

They are asking how many schools he had built for the north?

How many northerners he had established?

This election many will be retired

You are not wrong about Atiku. as those are some of the things counting against him. As a vice president for 8 years, he was supposed to have had significant impact in the north, even in Adamawa, his influence is quite limited. As a matter of fact, I doubt if he has an interest in whatever happens in his state, forgetting that the organic support that comes from home state can never be compared to anywhere else.

At least, we can all see today that majority in the South East are fully behind Peter Obi. Also, all the politicians who aspire to grow or remain in politics are supposed to take the growth of associates as priority. These are the same associates that will ensure your success when their help is needed. And it's one of those things that have helped Tinubu in Lagos.

On consultation, don't you think Atiku must have consulted widely within the party for them to consider him as a potential candidate (not minding his age and the fact that he already lost out many times). And on the court matters, the fact that he wasn't appearing personally in court doesn't mean he wasn't suing in court. He has a legal team that went as far as visiting Chicago State University in the US during that period.

Lastly, it's just what it is, politicians will always be politicians.

ajalawole:
oga na lie. Where my office is was build in 1976, the owner has dead, his son was in charge. How can you explain rent increments of 150k within a year.

Dey play, chief historian.

Whether you like it or not, the property does not belong to you and you can only stay there on the terms of the owners. The fact that the real owner is dead does not make you the new owner. I will only advise that you comply or you relocate as the case may be. Pele o, chief historian.

Beautifulday:
You say Atiku will never back out of the race as if you are Atiku.

Your audacity is scary 😂

But he backed out of court against Buhari and traveled to Dubai living only Obi to fight his battle.

Una too dey rate people ooh

I am not Atiku but he has said that many times, even when he appeared on the television just recently. The only reason you see Atiku in ADC and going around consulting and even attended Ibadan conference is because of his interest to run. Otherwise, he would have retired from politics and relocated back to Dubai.

Also, he backed out of court against Buhari because he lost out at the supreme court. Where else would he have gone if not back to his base (Dubai). Even when he dragged with Tinubu, he knew he lost at the polls and then started calling for his academic certificates. He lost again and still called for his transcript and when he lost, he relocated as usual.

That is to tell you that he would not just relocate under normal circumstance, and as such, he would not just back out of the race except something fundamental happens that makes him to lose an interest. But for now a seriously warming up for the primary elections.

So I guess you should stop building castles in the air expecting Atiku to back down. Just go and prepare because many gladiators are in the race and the ticket is only given to whoever wins.

sleek214:
Nope, it wasn't zoning that made him not happy. It was revealed that Makinde will deputise Atiku... Even a dump person knows that only a strong northern candidate can defeat Tinubu. You have to be amongst World's Dumbest not to know that. Even the ruling party know that Obi doesn't stand a chance against Tinubu, that's why you see people like Festus Keyemo, Ayo Fayose and others stylishly telling that Obi is the strongest candidate and should be given the tickets, you see APC supporters disguising as obidients, asking for the tickets..... For those shouting Obi/Kwankwanso, you guys still have a lot to learn, kwankwanso won't do much in helping the ticket to win, he would rather stay out and allow Tinubu finish in 2031, by 2031, kwankwanso would be the strongest northern candidate because ages won't be on Atiku s side in 2031. Instead Obi to call his supporters to order and work with Atiku, he's encouraging them to abuse everyone, 2013, Tinubu and his supporters were already working for/with buhari, that's strategy.

Honestly, I see you as one of the smartest on this platform. All your points are valid. In addition, I think I like Kwankwaso's political calculations and strategies more than that of Obi. Obi has taken some unnecessary steps that's now counting against him, and I had expected that he would forsee all of that. Now he's a bit withdrawn primarily because reality is beginning hit at him.

It is not as if the north cannot go all out for you but you must have been together for a very long time and they must have trusted you well enough to cast their votes for you, especially in a contest where they also have interest and are qualified to run just like you.

Kwankwaso joining the party is obviously for 2 reasons. 1 is to disown his godson who defected to the ruling party and 2 is to expand his support base. Majority of his supporters from NNPP, I am sure went with him to ADC while he would also get some supporters from the within the ADC, which happens to be a conglomerate of opposition parties coming together as one. Remember that politics is a game of numbers.

This is where obi was supposed to be strategic rather than watching his supporters gaslight others and looking the other way.

Beautifulday:
Lol! Why do you think kwankwaso joined ADC?

Omo! The only pro Atiku voice on tweeter now is only Sarki, Haman and Arewa tweeter.

The funny thing is that the Obident as they call themselves don't even answer these guys again.

The kwankwaso boys have taken over.

Everything will be OK

Ok implies Obi/kwankwaso.

And this is where it gets messy!

A very rich man would always buy his way through. Atiku is a rich man and a real spender. I don't know about Kwankwaso but Obi no dey spend. If Peter Obi will cooperate, there are slight chances. But one major downside is that a greater percentage of the obidients don't even see the voters card as their power to change the narrative.

Ask some of them for their voter's card and they tell you they don't have. Yet they come online to rant and want to make a change.

Another downside is that many of the obidients will dance to the tone of Atiku because of handouts. Never say it cannot happen, it has happened before.

Lastly, Atiku will never back out of the race.
