Coz he licked mic, hence he shouldn't be voted? LMFAO!

.... but we should vote in a Trader at this critical point? Someone who is only good at cramming fake figures and lying up and down?

Segedinho:

You sure say everything never scatter so?

Emaprince:


Nothing scatter yet.

OasisX:


.... this is simple. Tell us why we should support your candidate. How does he plan to turn things around?

OK..... BAT is not an Option. What makes Peter Obi an Option. Let me borrow izzou point again, forget the past, let's face the future.

Donjazet2:


Because Obi excelled monumentally when it came to issues of appropriate usage of State funds.
1. Came in from the corporate sector before becoming a governor.
2. He Met a state heavily in debt and owing it's workers and pensioners. When he left office, no single state worker or pensioner was being owed any salary\pension.

Worked with a well balanced budget. Carrying out various state projects without borrowing a dime! And when I mean projects I mean good projects. Equipping every single school with generator and 2 school buses . 1 laptop per 4 students throughout the state. Etc etc.

3. Significantly cost the cost of governance. Plugged leakages and loopholes in government spending, drastically cut out redundant state positions. Nothing like employing 5 thousand special advisers that we see as common practice today.

4. Opened an Anambra state sovereign wealth funds where he used a small percentage of state budget to save and invest in various companies.

5. Did not award himself bogus pensions when leaving office and hasn't received a dime from the state government till date.

6. Left an impressive amount for successive governments and a lower debt burden.

7. Was immediately appointed on the presidential economic team of the Jonathan administration immediately after leaving office.

8. Was appointed the chairman of the Nigerian stock exchange, an appointment he accepted without recieving government amoluments and benefits.

Calling Obi a common trader is just you seriously downgrading and insulting his acumen but I can understand that, you need to try and bring him down to the level of the criminally wanted yellow teeth-stained drug baron you support.

When it comes to who has the best economic experience of the 2. Obi dusts the rest handdown.

TrebleChamp:
Peter Obi is naturally the best choice for President in 2023.

Atiku Abubakar as a Fulani Northerner shouldn't even be in the race for President, when the current one is a Fulani Northerner serving out his 8 year term. Atiku also has a shaddy corrupt history too, as we were told be former President Obasanjo.

APC in addition to destroying the Country, is presenting a sick old Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is medically unfit for President, who also chose another Muslim as his Vice. A Muslim-Muslim ticket in a country where religious intolerance in a big issue is simply unacceptable. Tinubu's past is also shrouded in mystery and he is the embodiment of corruption in Nigeria in my opinion.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is another Fulani Northerner, a Northerner should not be succeeding President Buhari in 2023....

Omoyele Sowore seem to be using his Presidential Ambition to cash out through Fundraiser. He was accused of embezzling the 2019 fund by his party chairman...

Peter Gregory Obi is the balance, he is a Christian Southerner with a Muslim Northern Vice, a tested and successful administrator who doesn't seem to have a corrupt past, he has publicly stated that people should bring out evidence he stole public money as Governor. He is an open book who boldly tell you to go and verify, he will be Nigeria next President in 2023 In Sha Allah....

Emaprince:
So your president was actually publicly licking the mic? Is he a crawling baby that thinks everything he lays hands on should be put in the mouth?

Joke apart, you no get shame o.


It isn't his fault he is acting that way. It comes with old age. However, wanting to be the president of Nigeria should be a No No.

Make una get shame small and stop defending his embarrassing moments.

Segedinho:

A brilliant mind see no wrong in projecting a well travelled and civilized aspirant licking d mic in d face of thousands.


This is neglecting d numerous gaffes as well as displays caused by senility.

D thing no shock me sha....

Donjazet2:


It shouldn't honestly. There is nothing wicked tribalism can't do. It obscures the thinking faculty.

Olowunl01:

Bros, can you please elaborate; I am seriously considering buying 2 apartments in Ikeja GRA & Lekki Ph1 /Ikate environs for strictly airbnb purpose and would have concluded deal this Xmas if election was few months away, already factored in FX fluctations; any other considerations?

All these talk about Naija being bleeped does sound pretty gloom & doom but Naija defies economic logic - abi which country their CBN Gov go dey on the run and everything never go scatter ���

BlueRayDick:


What I wrote up there is my own personal opinion o and I have my reasons for it .

As regards ur planned investment , I believe u must have carried out in-depth analysis of the business before going into it sha . Although , I don’t see buying and renting out properties as a good business in Nigeria . Most properties bought for millions of Naira will will not yield close to the cost price even if u rent the property out for 15 years straight . Most people who buy properties to rent out usually end up tying their money down ; money that could be put to better use when one considers time value of money .

I actually do not know much about how profitable the Airbn’b business is in the high brow areas of Lagos tho. Just do enough research and put ur money into it if u are satisfied with ur findings .

OasisX:


I agree with the bolded and it's one of the reasons this thread is created. Obidients turn this thread to what it is today.

They are never ready to engage in any sensible discourse rather they prefer bullying and cussing hell out of everyone not supporting their candidate.

They're the reason I am actively involved this year, because they need to be checked, put back in their holes once in a while.

No one has monopoly of bullying, trolling and cussing!

OasisX:




Boom.... and Nigeria will be competing with G7 Countries. Lovers of new Nigeria are amazing for real.

DissTroy:


Dude, you are reputed for skipping any sociopolitical discuss where you can't reply with a copy-and-paste post.

Once it gets right down to intellectually dissecting sociopolitical issues, you flee; unless there's been a response by somebody to it on Facebook and Twitter you can go copy then paste here. Then add mundane phrases like "El Ol El. Mi oni so nkankan" .

Since this thread began 7 months ago, I double-dare you to quote even 5 instances of lengthy intelligent discussions you've had about the elections or any other sociopolitical trend. Just 5. Screw it! Just 3! 3, OasisX!

You are the last person in this section who should grandstand about intelligent debating . The very last.

A business you cant always be around to supervise in Nigeria is almost a waste of money. Nigerians are very bad and heartless.

Theflint1:
You now contradict yourself in one post?

raumdeuter:


Any business you wont be close by to monitor is a waste of time

OasisX:
.... I can't ever make this mistake again, ever. My catfish business of 3.3m enter Voicemail in the End.

Thank God it's not more than that. I'm considering tomatoes farming now. I am seriously interested in agrobusiness.

Na so so videos I dey receive until cry video follow las las. Breakfast well served.

raumdeuter:


I know someone who lost more than 10M on the same catfish farming around 2009, The loss made him lose his mind.

As in he is no longer coherent when talking.

OasisX:


They will never accept the highlight, everything must be blamed on Buhari, even though they know the Conditions GEJ left us.

Don J didn’t support Buhari with sweat and blood in 2014/15 cos he loves Fulanis, but because of GEJ failures across all Sectors.

iamoyindamola:

So you are saying buhari didn't contribute to it
Atleast we can all agree it wasn't worse than this during gej

izzou:


Maybe you are trolling the Obidients by supporting BAT, but it is glaring that nothing will change.

Nigeria is at the lowest of its lows; We are spending 91% of our revenue to service gbese. So how will BAT fund all those stuffs on his manifesto?

Let me guess? Don't ask, just believe.

Nigeria is finished, but let us pretend that BAT is coming to do something

User09:


To be fair, the Ideal thing to measure is Debt to GDP especially at the national level. Hence the reason why its important what the debt is being used for

Android17:
22 Trillion Naira is that not USD27.5Bn? Not holding briefs for anyone because I don't even know what is going on but USD27.5Bn??

User09:


Cant speak on this as I do not have all the information. Besides, I highly doubt that story, Probably missing some key elements.

My point was looking at the debt to revenue wasnt putting it in context .

Although the argument may be that the servicing cost is becoming increasing high as additional debt is being taken to service the deficit and worse off is that it is being used on recurrent items and unproductive things like managing subsidy. That I think is the main issue

My point was looking at the debt service to revenue wasnt putting it in context .

Although the argument could have been that the servicing cost is becoming increasing high and additional debt is still being taken to service the deficit. Worse off is that it is being used on recurrent items and unproductive things like managing subsidy.

That I think is the main issue

Android17:
I think you're onto something. I am careful about discussing certain things because I don't even know what is true or not.

Another thing is, debt profile is cumulative. Some of the debt is still from the yesteryears. Someone else has posted here all the hundreds of billions this govt had to pay back to some state governments from allocations owed them from the past administration and prior.

FBS:

Maybe someone can educate us on the Nigerian Government fiscal policy?
