There's absolutely nothing Obi would've done differently that Nigeria would've been better than it is today.

Moreover, Obi doesn't have what it takes to withstand the northern influence.


The South East should lower their voice and build a strong leader or king that will be highly respected.... Someone with greater influence that would influence their political and national decisions.


Not every one speaki6from different point of views and expect the country to take them serious.

You mean the south east should build a strong thief and bandit that can match the criminality of people like Tinubu?.... Obviously thats the quality a person needs before they can be accepted as a leader in a God forsaken country like ours.

Funny how so many people here think the Naira has truly appreciated because of the Binance ban. With the ban, some currency traders who want quick liquidity are simply trying to sell off their stock, hence the reduced price. As much as the slide in value of the Naira is artificial, this apparent recovery following the Binance ban is also artificial.

I believe we should have voted out apc last year.

But Obi would have done something similar. The fact is, excessive borrowing since 2014, thanks to the oil price crash, higher spending on subsidy, and lack of a diversified economy, plus an effective foreign reserve of 4billion dollars means there is nothing much Obi can do, short of taking massive loans to fund things, and IMF Is not going to lend us more money, neither are the chinese or the russians.

We are not the masters of our destiny, and we are just this near to IMF taking over.

I'm sorry but OBI is clearly different and would have done a lot of things differently. Let's stop excusing Tinubu's failures by erroneously claiming others would have been equally irresponsible and clueless.

For starters, OBI communicates! A good line of communication on your strategies would make a world of difference in the way the people and businesses react to your policies. Before elections, Tinubu wouldn't dare talk to anyone, grant interviews or even attend debates. He never outlined any strategy on how he intended to approach the myriad of problems, and nothing has changed after swearing in. Instead while the country is on fire he disappears to France for God knows what, and yet you think OBI would have been the same? When the pillar of a person's campaign is "it is my turn" and "na statistics we go chop?", it already speaks volumes on the person's cluelessness on how to solve the issues which everyone already knew about.


OBI on the other hand clearly communicated and communicated and communicated! Yes OBI also promised to remove subsidies, but he clearly outlined that the removal would be in phases to cushion the impact on the economy (with regards inflation). OBI also outlined that any funds saved from subsidy removal would be channeled directly (no diversions whatsoever) into fixing the refineries to ensure Nigeria stopped importing petrol as quickly as possible; a clear policy outline like this makes a world of difference!! Do you know how many times Tinubu has removed and secretly reinstated subsidies? Policy jumps and cuts like that are very disastrous for business planning; reason why companies keep fleeing Nigeria.

And then you said IMF and China wouldn't give us loans! Why would they give loans when they know the people at the helm are irresponsible spenders? When Tinubu first stepped into government, wasn't he granted a loan. What did he use the loan for?

- To buy 460 SUVs for NASS members
- To finance presidential yacht.
- To pay N25000 to 15 million households (all of which never materialised but loan money disappeared)

And you wonder why China wouldn't give us more loans? Is it today OBI started evangelizing on the imperativeness of using loans only for clearly productive ventures? Yet you think OBI wouldn't have done anything differently?

I lost hope in Nigeria right after the results of the 2023 elections were revealed. If with all the glaring signs, a lot of Nigerians still felt it was okay to vote APC and Tinubu, then to a large extent, Nigerians are the problem, not Tinubu and his gang of bandits.

My heartfelt sympathy to those who genuinely fought for and voted OBI but who still have to suffer for the foolishness of others. God will see you guys through!

Vischy:


Na statistics we go chop😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's how the worst presidential candidate rigged an election.

The very first presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria who successfully dodged TV interviews and fled from a presidential debate. Even the NEPA bill certificate Buhari didnt completely avoid interviews and debates...

Given his fear of debates, for the first time in Nigerian history, a presidential election was conducted without a single presidential debate for the candidates.

Obviously his fear was justified; what was he going to say? The few appearances he made earlier were littered with incoherent gibberish - balablu, bulu bulu, bulabai!!! agbado, agbado, agbado!!! electricity and down payment for roasted corn etc. A person who believes the solution to Nigeria's security challenges was to recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with cassava and agbado. That's the person Nigerian intellectuals touted as 'most intelligent' and best person to lead Nigeria.

Respite for Agbadorians!

Now they have something to cite when they defend Nigeria's pathetic slide to doom.

Kelvin5214:
“Recruit 5million Nigerian youths into the army.. what they willl eat, cassava, agbado, enimorin, yam in the morning, beans in the afternoon.”
Sooo Where the recruitment dey? Where the agbado dey?, enimorin nko or yam in the afternoon
Thy people will suffer no be small

50 million youths...

Over N900 billion a month?...

Thats over N10 trillion annually

The economy has really spiralled out of control. May Zimbabwe or Venezuela not happen to us....

Ykc2:
is he tired now tinubu is president?even pastors from sw that tribalism is in them

You want a 90 something year old man who has been protesting all his life to still go and protest for you in 2024 while you sit comfortably in your house drinking milk?.... Make it make sense!

Isn't this the reason Buhari used the term "Lazy Nigerian Youths"?

Bobloco:
Is Nigeria not worth saving anymore?


The Save Nigeria Group (SNG), with the opposition parties spearheaded by Tinubu himself, frustrated Goodluck Jonathan by sponsoring protests against the Goodluck Jonathan government. The hallmark of it all was the 2012 subsidy removal protests.

Are they the only humans in Nigeria? Is everyone else in Nigeria crippled or in chains?

Soyinka has been leading protests since his prime in the 1960's. Man is in his 90s today, yet lazy Nigerian youths still want the same man to lead protests for them?

Balkan:
What a disgrace! They ignored shetima and were shouting Obi

May nothing ever happen to Tinubu. Cos with this level of disrespect, if this Shettima guy ever becomes president, Nigerians go see shege!

SoNature:
God called him when He wanted his spirit; his death has nothing to do with the game. RIP to the deceased and may God give the bereaved family the fortitude to bear their irreparable loss, amen.

You can't be so sure of the bolded. The way my heart kept pounding throughout that game, especially during the shootouts, a person with an underlying heart condition could get in trouble.

KingDash09:
That’s my education is very important
They teach you how to use pleasantries in certain scenarios

It's just a cultural mannerism which is unique to us as a people; there's really nothing wrong with it, and every culture has its own mannerisms.

The employer who sacked her for that was just being myopic and grumpy. Diversity entails learning and accepting the culture of others.

Nigeria often use the word 'sorry' in place of 'excuse me' to call a person's attention.

And then it isn't unusual to see Nigerians go all the way by saying 'sorry excuse me'

CorrectionFLuid:


Oga stop trying to scapegoat the northerners. Majority of those that supported every action and policy of buharis administration especially online come from the south west.

Don't come now to exempt your people from blame in order to make up excuses for your Tinubu.

Who is the 'my people' you refer to? And who is the 'my Tinubu'?.... Like I said in my previous post, ethnicity and tribalism ruins the brain power of even the finest of men... Last last na this useless ethnic and tribalistic mentality go completely destroy Nigeria

Antivirus92:
so today it's now north insulting and attacking anyone who dare to complain openly,?
It's no longer igbos insulting northerners for eight years?

Being an APC supporter plus Yoruba is a very bad combination!

APC supporter? Yoruba? Did you even read or comprehend a single word I wrote before returning with this response?

Education still remains the greatest sword that can liberate Africa from poverty. Kindly go back and re-read what I wrote, and this time do it slowly with a clear mind.

It's actually a mystery how people have been surviving in Nigeria. But then, does the north really have any right to protest?

The majority of the damage done to the economy happened under Buhari, but somehow, northerners always found a way to insult and attack anyone who dared to openly complain then. Why are they only waking up today?

For as long as ethnicism and tribalism exists, Nigeria will never find salvation. These protests will only be taken seriously when the south West joins in it. But can that ever happen?

Let it affect the common man positively

A private company builds/acquires a massive gas export vessel = wealth in the pockets of the owners and their cronies, revenue for government, less gas flaring (environmental benefit) and jobs for Nigerians. How else do you expect it to affect the common man?

Perhaps the company should do N10k giveaways weekly so we can all agree that it affects the common man.

October 7th wasn't a genocide to him, but Israel's reaction to October 7th is what he sees as a genocide.

Another emotionally manipulated black fool like the stupid south African government that support Palestine.

Abeg make una dey try dey read abeg. 'Kate' no be man name. Or perhaps Kate has chosen to identify as a man? Cos I'm not sure why several angry people on the first page are using the 'He' pronoun.

Meanwhile on the matter at hand, October 7 is condemnable. Likewise what's happening currently in Gaza is also condemnable.

Slytiger:

Nigerians don't bother much about lesbians. Infact most male love lesbo porn, but when it comes to men sucking men, men wanking men and men knacking men, that's were Nigerians draw the line.

In addition, Obidients trended the Tinubu's news last year during the election, but the news had no significant effect because the person in question is a woman. Women licking women is kinky. But men fucking men is not.

Omo... too much licking and sucking inside one post 😵‍💫

While I find it weird that church instrumentalists or choir members would demand to be paid salaries, I totally don't believe that receiving payment as an instumentalist in church can or will make anyone poor. This is pure BS!

Being Gay is worse than Tinubu daughter stealing the little old women have in the name of iyaloja
but you can do anything to relocate to uk or Canada practicing gay

Tinubu also has an LGBTQ daughter abroad; but obviously that one doesnt matter for some weird reason.

The irony of all this is that those saying they cant vote OBI because he has a gay son abroad aren't bothered about voting a Tinubu who equally has an LGBTQ daughter.

Reason for this weird pattern is simple; Tinubu already has so much dirt on him already that his daughter being whoever she is is inconsequential. But for OBI, even after elections, there's still a desperation to find dirt on him.

sukkot:
Listen the LORD works in mysterious ways and one of the ways he tries to bless you is by making one person lose their money ( some form of punishment) and then he would make you find it.

However you finding can be a test and a blessing. If it’s just a bag with money in it and nothing else then it’s a blessing. But if someone’s particulars and address and phone number is in it then it is a test. However you are not expected to be a thief and neither are you expected to be stupid either. There are many greedy people in this world who you will find say for example their 10 million Naira and when you return it they will only give you 1000 Naira as reward.

So do not be stupid. What you do is this, you call the person, hypothetically speaking let’s say it’s 100 million Naira, you call the person and say listen I found your money and I can either disappear now and you end up with zero, or you can let me have 20 million as reward and I will drop 80 million. Think about what you will like to do and I will call back. Of course unless it’s a mad person, he would rather have 80 million than zero and he has no choice but to agree. This way you negotiated yourself a nice blessing out of the money you found. No karma and no spiritual repercussions.

But make sure when you want to drop the money off after you have removed your 20 million, you don’t meet the guy in person . Agree for a place for him to pick it up. Say an upscale gyms locker room and tell him the exact time to come and where to get the key of the locker then you hide somewhere and watch to make sure he comes pick up his money.

See how you devised a strategy to kidnap someone else's money for ransom... Criminality being disguised as wisdom!

Wine (or beer or spirit) makes the heart merry!

In the right quantity, a good drink gets me excited, bubbly and I become a more interesting and cheerful person to be around. It also helps me think and strategise better, and lest I forget, it improves confidence.

In summary, good wine helps to awaken a better version of myself.



Obviously, all of the above wouldnt work for everyone. For some others, wine gives them a shitty and depressing feeling. So it's different strokes for different folks!

LagBlogger:
Cost of living plus family responsibilities will make your 400k per month feel like 30k per month.

I don't know what your plans are but if you can find a way to reduce house rent and school fees cost you might be able to save something.

My wife had a friend whose husband was on 60k per month salary in 2015, somehow he managed to save and buy land, started doing uber part time then later resigned his job and faced Uber fully and was able to save to build the house they are living in now.

He moved to Canada in 2022 and she joined him last year with their daughter.

I think their game plan was to set a target e.g buy land, build house, travel abroad, start side hustle and save as if their life depends on it to achieve that target.

Try and set goals then work on those goals as if your life depends on achieving it. It may work, it may not. Just my 2 cents.

In what kind of world does someone who earns N60k monthly buy a land and build a house? A married man at that... Even if he saves 50% of his salary, how do you build a house with N60k salary?

My ever charming mom has stopped looking good like she used to eversince she joined a particular church in the early part of 2021.

Prior to that time, mom was a lover of good wears. She used to wear nice jewelries to complement her dressing. Nowadays, the story is no longer the same. She has changed completely and she is now a shadow of her former self. She would not make her hair with weavon or attachment, or wear wig or makeup like she used to do. She now uses thread to plait her hair which makes her look very unlike her and very unattractive.

When I travelled home during Christmas, I nearly wept when I saw her. From her head to her toe, she was completely off. No sense of style at all. Just regular clothes and slippers even when she is going out for an event.

What do we do? The church she joined is THE LORD'S CHOSEN. And dad says she has asked her to stop attending the church but she refused. Mom is a retired nurse and she is 62 years old. I am her last child and I and my siblings are doing everything possible to make her look good. Money is not the problem. She is just simply refused to listen to anybody.

LORD'S CHOSEN?!!! Forget abourrit! 🤣😅

Ibrahimcoomasie:
But news had been debunked that the syringe company did not leave.

He should also lament on GSK leaving Kenya too.

What's Peter Obi's business with Kenya? What's your business with Kenya? So if GSK leaves Kenya cos of its bad business environment, that automatically makes it perfectly fine for GSK to also leave Nigeria for its bad business environment? What kind of reasoning is this?
