Keipee

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Again this is where you guys miss my point. The reason why I was arguing that US elections are expensive is cos the tweet I responded to made it seem like anyone can "run", keyword is RUN.

@Kaypling @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 That's exactly why your pushback missed the mark. You kept arguing against a broader "US politics is expensive" point that nobody disputed, when the original argument was specifically about ₦100m nomination fees pricing ordinary Nigerians out, and I never mentioned ADC or any

My God. College graduates are running for congress in the US because it costs almost nothing to do. You as an ordinary citizen should be able to contest for the presidency. The 100m bottleneck in the world’s poverty headquarters should concern you. It means you can never be president and whoever can afford that would most likely be corrupt. But all that is okay to you as long as it gives you a chance to take digs at Peter Obi. Sigh

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 I didn't use it!!!! Lmao!!! I countered the person's point

@Kaypling @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 My issue was not the idea that elections cost money, it was using the US as the benchmark for a country like Nigeria without context. Because even if US politics is expensive, it still has far lower entry barriers than ₦100m nomination fees in a poorer system, so the comparison

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 No one is talking about perfection bro. I'm countering a point that was made. I could care less what ADC does, my entire point before ppl started going all over the place is using US politics as an example was wrong.

@Kaypling @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 You're missing the point. I’m not saying the US is perfect, I'm saying it's a bad excuse to justify ₦100m+ entry barriers in a poorer country; even flawed systems still show that lower financial barriers widen participation, while ours just gatekeeps power before the race even

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 For example, I don't know how expensive UK elections get but if he used that as an example, I won't have responded cos I don't know. However, trying to use US election to make a point didn't make sense

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Geez!!!!!! Can you read what I'm responding to? What the guy wrote up there was wrong and that's my entire point. We can't even copy the US, how??? Where we wan see am. If you read my first response to this quote it was about not using wrong examples.

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Again, let's also limit it to what I'm responding to. You need to have shown the ability to raise money before you even pay your fees. Granted, it's not a requirement but no one is even going to bat an eye if you haven't done so.

@Kaypling @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 And you're still conflating two different things: campaign fundraising tests public support, while outrageous nomination fees are artificial barriers imposed by party elites before the race even begins.

@kbd_warrior_su @itzhalabi1 What do you know about the current trajectory? You lot will just see these loud ignorant voices on SM. From your own critical analysis, what exactly are they doing wrong? Also do you even understand why the person said it's cos of the govt that this is possible?

@itzhalabi1 As wise as you are, you think you country is headed in the right trajectory under this leadership? What a retard.

One may wonder why a Ghanaian like me is so interested in Nigerian matters. But look at this. With mega projects at this scale and a strong, authoritarian (because democracy has failed) anti-imperialist government that is capable of nationalizing their resources, all they would have to do is fix their electricity and Nigeria will turn around so fast that not only would Nigerians rush back to set up global-scale business, but the prospects and benefits will spread across the entire region and continent. But they first need to get rid of the current leadership, and get rid of democracy because that's the only way they can ensure dullards don't find their way into leadership positions through foreign exploits.

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Also the US is the worst example he could have used when talking about money in politics.

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Again what's funny about my response was out was a response to the poster making it seem anyone can run for congress. You guys are the ones who try to keep limiting to forms, he said run!! My entire point is there's a financial barrier you need to cross to be taken serious

@luxe_rug @tipseyredd @lekan_olayinka1 Not like this is even an intellectual convo cos one would think this is simple logic but this is clearly above you.

@tipseyredd @Kaypling @lekan_olayinka1 Bro this guy just Dey rage bait you walai 😹😹😹😹

@tipseyredd @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 Why can't a candidate raise money for form same way he'll raise money for campaign? Don't we already know those who intend to run before they pick up form? The forms may be a way to raise funds for the party knowing that elections aren't cheap.

@Kaypling @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 Yes you can but realistically that will take you to the path of being indebted to godfathers. A transparent process should see anybody be able to afford the nomination form, and then raise money for elections through the campaign process

@celestocalculus So Atiku was the one who raised LASG IGR?? Some of you just wake up and type sha. Cos what does Atiku have to do with Lagos being financially capable of sustaining itself while Obj withheld funds?

I've now come to understand why BAT was able to confidently challenge Obj during the times when he withheld LG funds for Lagos. The reason was Atiku. Atiku was scheming & shadowing for BAT in Abuja, while simultaneously serving as vice president under Obj.

@Moebillz5 @dnkanga13 @lekan_olayinka1 Dude the poster used US as an example which is a terrible example. Like you said, it's easy cheaper to get into office in Nigeria. I don't care how much ADC is charging, that's their business. The entire point is politics is generally not cheap & to use US as an example is wrong

@Kaypling @dnkanga13 @lekan_olayinka1 I gave an instance about some people that won the HOR and other position in LP because of PO. Some of them didn't have the money run an election if it were base on money. But they won simply because they associated with PO whom the people trust and believe.

@tipseyredd @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 You realize a candidate can raise money to buy the form, right?

@Kaypling @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 Pricing the form at 100m means you're asking only the super rich to contest. And the fact they don't rely on our donations or support to win elections here is the reason why they get into office and don't work for us

@tipseyredd @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 Oga the fact is you need to be able to show the ability to raise money. US politics is the most expensive in the world. It's literally about putting your money where your mouth is. The last TX primaries, as in primaries, not general elections cost over $100m.

@Kaypling @luxe_rug @lekan_olayinka1 It is cheap bro. You need to look up these things for yourself. Winning an election isn't cheap yes, but that is why they require you to present solid plans that will attract a lot of donations to your campaign. Very different from what we do here

@VictorPtolemy_ @KhanSean35654 @Darleeton3 @FateyeOluwafemi Lol

@Kaypling @KhanSean35654 @Darleeton3 @FateyeOluwafemi You're the nigga that needs to sleep well

@dnkanga13 @Moebillz5 @lekan_olayinka1 I really don't understand how the logic is lost on these guys. They keep talking about form as if someone will buy it and just frame it or use it for suya.

@Moebillz5 @Kaypling @lekan_olayinka1 So where is the logic there ? Buy form for $100 then spend $10M for elections ? You people just pick a subject you have no idea . Aside from being the most expensive election, US election is one of the most corrupt in the world

@luxe_rug @tipseyredd @lekan_olayinka1 Ok genius, what's the point of buying form or paying fees to show intent to run for office? What exactly is the point? Cos you guys keep talking form like it ends there. The tweet I responded to made it seem like it was cheap for anyone to run for the office.

@tipseyredd @Kaypling @lekan_olayinka1 You just Dey explain give am… he knows what he’s doing

@AlongeAdedamola @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 Oga what's the point of "buying form"

@Kaypling @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 But he didn't say it costs nothing. He said "it costs almost nothing". I guess you decided not to grasp what he was trying to pass across which was "buying nomination forms". Even states that put a fee on it charge almost less than what an average American earns monthly .

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 The point of the tweet I responded to is anyone can run for office, making it seem like it's cheap to do.

@idemeko64612 @Va_liant2 @lekan_olayinka1 What's the point of getting forms abeg? Is campaigning not the logical next step. Also the party fees and how much you have go hand in hand. If you like have 1000 "forms", if you can't raise money, there's no motion for your candidacy.
