Hmm! Nigeria will get there someday,if not for the corrupt induced delegates system that pruduced the candidacy of Atiku and Tinubu in both pdp and apc, it would have been Osinbajo vs Obi, in the real sense of it. These evil people prevented Osinbajo that is very popular with the masses to present himself to be voted for, and he does not have the luxury of Obi to decamp to another party or stand as an independent candidate because he is the vice president, but one thing is sure, his movement will continue to move until the country is liberated. Moreover, some of the people castigating him just for this temporary setback, I can assure them their candidate will not have the opportunity to live in the aguda house talkless of aso rock because they will now need to face the real voters, they can only bribe few voters the majority will reject them.

Peter Obi represents the new generation of Nigerians comprising of both the poor and the wealthy in our society. Obi is the new face of Nigerians who wants our dear country to move forward in catching up with developed countries. Both Tinubu and Atiku represents the past whereby the majority of their supporters want the status quo to remain the same. Let us chose wisely and vote for Peter Obi for the development of our dear country 131 Likes 9 Shares |

TheNiceGuy:So you expect the only son of a rich man, a former two term governor to be poor? If your father is as rich as Peter Obi will you as his son remain poor again? It is not possible unless you are wasteful son and even if at that you will still have enough money to spend. Is Tinubu's son a poor man? 148 Likes 9 Shares |

All these false political analysts giving armchair predictions are only playing along to the tune of their masters. A master and slave morality. undecided Naija Youths, get your PVC now. Your destiny is in your hands. Take Charge of your future and that of your unborn kids. The extension of voter registration would give more time for eligible Nigerians to exercise their right to participation during the 2023 and subsequent elections. Also, we need to monitor the election process and safeguard our votes. Curbing the menace of vote-buying will be a herculean task to do, but there are ways this can be done. If the youth can come up and spot the characteristics of the age-grade system hitherto to the period before colonialism, where they were in charge of executing the executive dictum and also safeguarding the community, then they can work out that same principle in their respective community. Nothing is alien to the environment, and if the youth of every community can mobilise themselves to monitor the election process for that day at their respective wards and ensure they are not bought over with frivolities, then much can be achieved. It will not be easy to come by especially in a country where there is hunger, but it can be done if truly our conscience is ready for a change it clamours for. cry cry Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime, God bless Nigeria. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Well the election is still between APC and PDP. Because they are the ones with the money, structures, popularity, etc. I don't even think Nigerians are intellectually matured for people like Obi and Co. The problem is; most of the youths that sing obi praises on social media won't go out and exercise their franchise on the d-day. And social media noise won't win You an election. Though is too early for some things to happen, but I expect the handlers of Obi to sell their candidate to the elderly people because they are the real voters, the folks who choose our presidents. You have to put a lot of hard work and sacrifice if you want to be the president of Nigeria. And this is one thing I like about tinubu even though I don't "admire" his personality that much. 6 Likes 1 Share |

In my opinion, Obi's baggage is made more difficult to handle by his followership... a motley crew of rabble rousers, sabre rattlers, keyboard rattlers , born again secessionists, insolent youths and a malnourished/ malfunctioning Labour Party that has no presence in the existing political structure at whatever level. In addition, this followership has these "feel good" mentality that makes them listen only to themselves believing that the ballotbox is in cyberspace. Whatever political contrivance they're trying to cobble is obviously incapacitated by time and the realities of the Nigerian situation. There is work to be done. I see this movement when lessons have been learnt but not 2023. By then, the bystanders already mobilised will be able to channel their resourcefulness appropriately. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Moferere: Your stats is false. Peters surging mandate has nothing to do with tribe, I am not an igbo man myself and the choice of Peter Obi over the other 2 has nothing to do with tribe. People from my tribe do not have a special place where we go to buy fuel at discount prices, neither do we have different currency that we are using to buy things when we go to the market etc, Nigerias current problems has every single person on a choke hold regardless of tribe, religion or financial status. For me the choice of Peter Obi was a very very easy and quick decision. Reason is, Once you know your problem, you know where to go for solution. If your teeth is paining you, you go to a Dentist. If have a problem with your car, you go to a mechanic. You can NOT have pain with your teeth and be going to meet your mechanic to help you. The difference between a mechanic and dentist is clear for even a new born baby to see it. Obi is not just a stingy man with 150 cows and no Academic Qualification, but he is a Mega Business man, a wealth creator, Largest Shopping center in Rivers State, One of the largest Shopping Center in Abuja amongst many other Multi Billion Naira companies, Former CEO/MD of Fidelilty Bank, turned the Bank into One of Nigerias Biggest. Peter Obi is an Alumni of some of the Top Higher institutions on the planet, Harvard Business School, the London School of Economics, Columbia Business School, the International Institute for Management Development, Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University, Business School of Oxford University, Business School of Cambridge University. He knows and understands the value of Billions and where to put it. And a stingy man because of his nature will automatically make it very difficult for corruption to thrive. If the Nigerian Military is receiving the right funding that it deserves, trust me Bokoharam and other terrorist groups in Nigeria will feel the difference. Even a lot of these terrorist and criminals you see disturbing the peace in Nigeria is caused by poverty and economic frustration. A better funded military machine and better economy is how we fight them. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Both are immensely wealthy men. Their political prominence is mostly a product of their awesome economic power. They have used economic power to buy into and invoke the major classic indices of power. They have bought into primordial traditional authority by overwhelming the traditional institutions. They even influence the appointment of some traditional rulers. They control and endorse religious authority by donating churches and mosques. They own media houses and powerful information platforms and channels. They have amorphous families sometimes with multiple spouses and offspring. Both men have an identical political trajectory with many previous attempts at the top job. Their humongous wealth spans all major sectors. Those interested in following their big money usually get lost in the confusing hazy borderline between private fortune and the public treasury. Some inquisitive people end up in the confusing intersection between private fortune and privileged access to the public treasury in one way or the other. What more do they want? Northerners cannot rule for 16years at a stretch..e get why ? why should 80 years old men rule Giants...? What do they need the federal treasury for?... The level of greed is on phantom drive 1 Like 1 Share

Did you know this about Peter? A president was to visit him as governor and upon request he was asked to get a ullet proof car for him and he never used one, after asking for the price of one of cost hundreds of millions of naira, Peter Obi felt, wasting such money on a property that will be useless after 2-3 days. He went to a sister state that had a bullet proof car. Put the president in it and after the visit,he returned it to the governor. That is who I call an uncommon leader. Rare to find among our political gladiators They didn't give us Oshibajo.....if they try this with Peter....Nigeria ma da ru. Aaa won yin. . 20 Likes 3 Shares

We hope all this Obi's supporters making noise on social media do go out to get PVC. Let us all make this election count. Our future is in our hands. Let us vote for the right candidate of our choice. Look beyond tribal and religion shenanigans that your politicians have been using to loot your future since 1960. Vote for the right man. Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime. post=113970180:Let us refresh you with this for a minute.... In the 2003 presidential election in which Ojukwu, the famed Igbo leader, vied, the south-east voted tremendously for his rival – Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In fact, Ojukwu’s ‘’Igbo party’’, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) could not even win governorship elections in the south-east except in Anambra — the late politician’s native home. In Anambra, Obasanjo had 466,866 votes which represent 54 percent of the entire count while Ojukwu had 279,378 – 34 percent of the total tally. In Abia, Obasanjo had 386,748 votes (51.7 percent) while Ojukwu had 260,899 votes (34.9 percent). In Ebonyi, Obasanjo had 752,823 votes (94.5 percent) but Ojukwu polled only 20,525 votes (02.6 percent) within the same range as Muhammadu Buhari who had 16,308 votes in the state. Let us stop at this. It's Monday morning. We hope you remember all we stated above with prove and salient points. Work beckons........ Have a nice week!
