While growing up studying the famous " My book of bible stories", I had always wondered to myself what could have made reasonable people refuse to heed the warnings of Noah when he was building the ark and asking people to come in for their own rescue.

The funny thing is, he didn't even charge them a penny to save their own lives in an ark he single-handedly funded, just to save humanity.

Fast forward 2023 while I became a full grown adult, a similar experience played out. But this time, it had to do with politics & choosing the right leader.

Okay.. It's time to demystify the myth surrounding some of these rallies as an insider and as someone who has BTDT.

During rallies, stakeholders (party stalwarts, canvassers and ward agents) already know their β€œsheaves”. Their duty is to bring as many people as possible for an agreed amount which are often times paid on the rally ground or sometimes before or after the rallies.

Now, here's the interesting thing. Stakeholders know those who are committed party supporters. I mean those they know will always vote for their parties any day anytime, and

Lol.. No he didn't.

In fact lemme put you through the most recent ranking on LIVABILITY INDEX for cities across the world conducted by a globally recognized ratings body, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

Thread. A survey recently conducted by EIU saw Lagos ranks 9th as the WORST livable city in the world.

YES, I'm talking about Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Lagos. The very same idea of a metropolitan city they're always in a hurry to talk about how they intend to make the model of what the idea

Juxtaposing Lagos with Anambra.

BAT Vs Obi.

I won't do any analysis. Statistics and Data will do the talking.

Like they always say, Data/Facts are stubborn.

Don't argue with me. Argue with data and make your inferences.

I heard it this Morning. The message was very clear!

β€œNigeria, Stiffen your necks in the right directions. One will chase a thousand, two will chase ten thousands.”

Good Morning everyone.

MY PICK OUTS FROM THE REVISED OBI-DATTI POLICY DOCUMENT.

As always, I'm open for any form of debates and criticisms on my submissions.

Thread! Image On trying to make better sense of the Obi-Datti policy document, I tried to first of all do a juxtaposition between the initial draft that was released and the new one. I discovered that indeed there were some similarities and of course some tweakings and improvements.

INEC has always been the major problem of our elections and our democracy by extension.

If you follow the trajectory from '99 down to the last general election in 2019, you'd see how much harm and damage INEC has done to this country.

They're just about repeating the very same obnoxious schemings again in 2023. The signs and evidences are becoming overwhelming by the day.

The implantations of underage voters into the voters register was neither an oversight now a face value. This is exactly how the north has had an unfair voting advantage over us in

MY CANDID OBSERVATIONS ON THE APC MANIFESTO.

(Please note that I am very much open to any form of debate on my positions on this document).

Walk with me PLEASE. 1. It is thin, peripheral, superficial, drab, unsavory, evasive & vague.

2. Thoughtless projections.

3. The numbers are not adding up or in any way corroborating with existing figures. A good example are the housing & GDP stats.

4. It is not quantitative & written to confuse.

There's a report making the rounds by Bank of America suggesting that Naira at a CBN rate of about N435.06/$1 is currently being overvalued at over 20%.

What were their indicators?

1. The widely used black market rate.
2. The CBN Real effective exchange rate (REER). 3. Currency fair value analysis.

Further projections from the report suggests that even at this, the Naira is expected to weaken by an equivalent amount over the next 6-9 months, taking it to about N520 per USD at the official CBN rate.

So what are the implications?

I complained about how the PDP media campaign is run a few days ago and it was simply out of sincere concern for the party.

The plot has long been lost and it has only opened us to more disdain by members of the public simply because we have been unable to run campaign of issues Peter Obi's threat seems to be our major focus whereas an Ahmed Bola Tinubu is spreading his political tentacles and gaining traction offline.

Meanwhile, a section of our very uninformed supporters are busy celebrating some inconsequential decamping to our party by some

Lol.. I have keenly observed a section of our online commentariats engage in mental gymnastics on a topic they have zero range on. It only further exacerbates the level of decadence in our educational system.

Now, let me make certain points on this issue very clear here.

Thread To say the least, it feels depressing to me to see educated people reason just for political support alone in a bid to tarnish a good product.

I have never in my life seen where valuation is done simply by using the market capitalization of an investment, neither do you value
