I'm quoting someone;

You keep telling me to vote Peter Obi for the future of my kids, please those who voted him as Anambra Governor, how well are they and their kids today



You all obi supporters should continue verbal attack, let's see if that will make him get more than 3m votes

casualobserver:


This is what happens to all Obi supporters, when you get down to the issues, Defend his record of this man they are selling, they run away! I put it to you, that the reason you are insulting people up and down is because you have nothing you can sell. You don’t need a microscope to see that behind all the hype there is nothing but hot air, sweet mouth, ethnic jingoism sand an ignorant gullible youth. The same endsars youth that ironically still cannot explain Peter Obi’s role in the notorious sars killings in Anambra. Probably the most notorious Of all the SARS killings, happened under him the commander of that unit became CDO to Obiano. These are the issues!!!!

Stop insulting people, market your guy peacefully. We are not bothered about Obi, Obi is good for us. But don’t push it because we have his number.

HOW PETER OBI CAN WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION;
MY MEMO TO HIS SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORTERS.

I have been inaundated by friends why I’m not in support of the Labour Party candidate. I’m yet to support any other candidate as well, still watching the terrain. For now, I offer to help their MINISTRY sharing this idea drawn from my practical experience in politics including contesting election, holding government offices, my work as a PR practitioner and journalist and affinity with politicians over the years.

I have observed the current frenzy by mostly young Nigerians to have Mr. Obi become the our next president which is fine and within their democratic rights but for that dream to see the light of the day, they need to start taking critical steps outside social media to actualize that.

Here are a few steps in my personal consideration and experience can help.
1. Get your PVC. This is of course number one on the must do list. There is no alternative unless you are below the voting age.

2. Move from supporter to party member. Join Labour Party. Yes, become a part member. Go ask for your Ward Chairman, register with the ward, attend their meetings and encourage them. It is the party members that will are usually mobilized to work for the victory of the party, play crucial roles on election day and protect the votes of their candidates. There variety of assignments party members carry out on election day many I can't say here please. It is only when you are identified as a trusted card carrying member of the party that such sensitive duties will be given to you. Why allow those vital and crucial assignments be given to people that can be bought over? Join and assist or supervise them, see to every detail of what transpires on election day. It's the day you wear jeans trouser, with some cash at hand for LOGISTICS AND ENTERTAINMENT, the day you would spend hours without blinking. Get ready.

3. Start physical campaign not just social media campaign. It is good to campaign on Social Media but there are millions of people who are not on Social Media. These are the people that really do the voting, waiting under rain and sun. They are not elites, they are ordinary people you ignore. They are the ones corrupt politicians buy their votes. They are blue collar workers who don’t give a damn about the ENGLISH YOU SPEAK. They see elections as their own Bazaar to get cash and gifts from politicians they won’t see again until the next election season. Seek them, make them your friends. Enlighten them in the language they speak and appreciate. They are the ones you ignore daily on your way to and fro work in your nice car and outfit. They are in your villages mostly, in slums in the city, they are in towns doing menial jobs. Many serve you as mechanics, security, even your domestic staff you maltreat. Start by showing them love now, before bringing up election and your chosen candidste. Come down from your high horse, mingle with them.

4. Be tolerant of other people’s choices and opinion.
People support party and candidates for different reasons. It is their right to do so. To win them, try to be civil, PREACH TO THEM like Jehovah Witnesses. Acknowledge them for their choice and their right to support who they wish then show them the alternative you proffer in love. Be polite.

5. Be wary of the religious and ethnic lines. This shouldn’t be a Christian vs Moslem or Igbo vs Fulani campaign. Don’t put fear in others, they will gangup against your candidate if you do. Mr. Peter Obi is known for his civility, unassuming nature, nationalistic tendencies, don't tar his reputation and undermine him.

6. Campaign on Issues not Innuendos. Use your candidates profile, his service records and personality backed with his program for Nigerians. Simple. You don't make a point by tarring others with mud. Peter Obi is not a Saint he is human and also has his frailties.

7. Step out on election day to vote. From my experience over the years, elites don’t vote on election days. They see it as holidays. While most youths use it for sports and to mingle in the neighborhood.

8. Start where you are. To influence others, start from your neighborhood, colleagues, relatives, friends etc. Start where you are, leave social media a little.

Best of luck in your OBIdience.

I'm 100% Pro Tinubu and I'm voting for Tinubu, but you offered a very san and rational advice, sadly, his followers won't listen to you, they are st in their negative ways, negative ways that are already sabotaging him and the Labor Party as we speak.

Do you lots smoke Marijuana?

Please be real with yourself!

It’s impossible and not feasible!

God cannot even do such miracles with reality on ground.

Obi can NEVER be the president of Nigeria come 2023.

If Atiku and Tinubu dies today, Obi still will never be the president. One thing is 100% guaranteed, either of PDP or APC flag-bearers will become president.

Y’all stop this Tom-Jerry analysis.

NOETHNICITY:
I didn't really know that this level of delusion could exist among a great number of so called educated people. Obi can never ever win a presidential election in labour party. Go to the north, he is not even known. From middlebelt to up north nobody knows him. How the fuckkkkkk is he going to win. Unfortunately, Nigeria is unofficially a two party country like the USA.

casualobserver:


Let us know, I am not the only one on Nairaland. I will never vote Obi but you can convert someone else. List his achievements if you have any to list! You have none!!! It’s all noise. Abuse you can abuse, list his achievements in 8 yrs as governor, you make excuses and disappear. All of you do it, it’s not just you. List his achievements, none of you can!!!!

Let me remind you that anyone can go to ordinary Wikipedia and gather stats, it doesn’t make you a good manager or a wealth creator. All it means you have a good memory and a gullible audience!!!!

Almost all Obi supporters sing this song, after obi left Anambra , did he turn it to Dubai? Was Anambra different from an average Nigerian state, didn't doctors strike for a whole year? ......please stop threatening Nigerians with hardship if they fail to vote Obi. Obi couldn't deliver his state from Hardship, how come a whole country.

The earlier you know all politicians here are the same the better for you. Don't let anyone deceive you that his son has only one trouser or his daughter has been using same wig for 4 years.

My broda/sister, the records are there. I don't have strength for arguments. I am not threatening anyone. I am being factual. You don't expect someone that spent millions of dollars not to recoup his investment back while in office.

candidtalk:



God bless you ojare. The only thing one needs to show Obi's delusional fan is the sad and pathetic reality of Labour Party below.

Zeroes everywhere. Even State House of assembly members Party Labour cannot boast of a single one in the entire Nigeria.

A Party formed in 2002 three years ahead of the PDP and almost 15 years before the APC? I know Nigerians are religious and believers in miracles but this one is just a joke. A big and pathetic joke.

emerged01:
On top one tribalist wey called ACN yoruba party because Ngige dey there.

bjdon:

Not at all. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is going to hurrt Tinubu badily. He can kiss the SE/SS and parts of the middle belt and NE goodbye. Further more this election is going to be a FOUR HORSE RACE. Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso will split the Northern Muslim votes, this will give Peter Obi a good chance in states like Kaduna and Taraba and maybe even Gombe. The Northern Christiand and minorites are 100% behind Obi

PETER OBI WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.


HE CAN GO AHEAD TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF Igbos AND BIAFRA


YEEBOS ARE NOT READY FOR PRESIDENCY

THEY ARE VERY DISUNITED AND CAN'T EVEN AGREE WITH EACHOTHER


THEY CRY MARGINALIZATION ALL THE TIMES BUT THE TREATMENT THEY DISH TO THEIR FELLOW TRIBAL PEOPLE IS WORSE


THEY GO ABOUT CREATING ENEMIES FOR THEMSELVES EVERYWHERE YOU SEE THEM


NOW, THEY WANT TO REAP FROM WHERE THEY DIDN'T SOW.



NONSENSE.


TINUBỤ MAY BE A BASTARD BUT, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW...

Now I know who I am dealing with
You are beyond redemption. So go ahead and vote your Tinubu or Atiku. It's your right to vote. Kachifo.

chrisxxx:
Any Nigerian who believes Obi will be president in 2023 will definitely invest in MMM if MMM were to resurface. That's how gullible that fellow is.
To be Nigeria's president is not by simple majority. Can you win 2/3 of the states? Can you score at least 25% in those states not won? Obi it is not even for sure he will win all South East States. I am sending Tinubu is sponsoring Obi to curtail Atiku votes.

javaguru:
u know atiku and tinubu can never be the president too. am 101% sure if that

realestate99:

Lol!!! well honestly I really love your output towards the conversation so far, devoid of insult, you are the best Obi fan I have seen in a long while, I wish you and your candidate the best.......I am not a Tinubu or Atiku fan, just one hardcore " pan yorubanist" who has lost hope in all Nigerian politicians and wish an independent Yoruba nation gets fufilled in his life time.

Eriokanmi:
Thanks for this OP. In my opinion, currently...social media sensitization is key. We're not corrupt politicians who can throw dollars around and those collecting it would think such politicians would not recoup it in multiple folds should they win election. OP, I'd tell you why I feel the social media sensitization is much needed right now.

The majority of those in the voting age are youths...educated youths. They spend most of their time on the social media even in offices, workplaces and on their mobile phones.

Social media sensitization saves alot of costs. Labour Party is the party of the masses and masses who have a major voice to lend but with very limited resources. The resources need to be used judiciously. When Barack Obama was contesting,I was rounding off my programme in Buffalo, upstate NY. I couid see the role the social media played in electing the first black man in America as president. E shock dem
I remember David Plouffe , the Obama campaign manager. He utilised the power of social media and that's key in this election as well. By the time house to house sensitization would start, Nigerians will see the difference. It will be purely issues-based. We have suffered too long in the hands of these wolves and hyenas in govt and enough of such sufferings. Their national grid is still not up yet, ASUU is still on strike and hundreds of thousands of students are home right now. Banditry keeps increasing . Today, scores were killed in benue. They've failed woefully.

I was tackling someone here a few minutes ago who responded to my post for supporting Obi. I had met with this man personally in the past. We had boarded same flight together. This man never had an orderly, no escorts, no private jets and he was seated at the economy side. I'm talking of 5 years ago and he still does so till now. I trust him...and the only igbo leader I can trust as a yoruba man, sadly

I pitied Umahi when he was seen lamenting on channels TV last night over South Eastern delegates who betrayed the region after collecting 25kusd each and voted a candidate from another region. Obi isn't even liked by his contemporaries in that region cos they know he's not reckless. He cannot give them money unless they work for it and that's the type of people we need, a technocrat per excellence. Sadly, buhari is like him too but he's not a technocrat. He has no idea of democratic governance. They just deceived us by putting him there and used the opportunity of his ignorance to pilfer our common resources. The same man who deceived us is now vying for his position. Who doesn't know he will be worse? If you put buiari by his side, someone who's even older and of a frail health, buhari looks much stronger than tinubu. I won't waste my vote again. I'd satisfy my conscience and work hard for Obi. I'd donate when the time comes and sponsor some of his programmes. We never knew lagos was so rich until ambode came. Lagos declared budget surplus for the first time in decades despite executing those massive projects. Though he was kicked off for doing a good job and serving lagosians, his name won't be forgotten in Lagos.

Someone ignorantly said to me, how do you think labor party without a stricture or an ordinary LG Chair or governor would win presidential election? I just laughed hysterically. He should go and ask Olusegun Mimiko who won governorship under labor party, defeating the ruling pdp and the then opposition in the state from behind . Prior to that time, no single labour party as LG chairman in ondo state. Once the majority is on your side , you don't have problems on winning an election.
Nigerians, there is a huge task ahead. This is the moment we've been waiting for. Join us!
