Nigeria will be Great Again. All Hands must be on deck this time. Bad economy and failed country knows no tribe nor ethnic group.

waste of time and money...after peter obi loose election....ipob will resume terrorist activity fully...and tinubu and shetima will kill them like chicken that there life has no meaning...

SmartPolician:
President in waiting!

It will make a lot of sense to have a knowledgeable and brilliant president in Peter Obi

Personally, I am tired of old people who should be in old people's homes, but they are looking for whose destinies to toy with and they keep shouting Emi Lokan!

You have to be a serial pessimist and myopist (sic), in the face of hope, to keep asking for more justifications to survive the calamity caused by the APC. So, you don’t think Nigerians calling home to encourage their loved ones, dependents, friends, and foes to vote a great candidate is one out of many good reasons Mr. Obi is traveling to go engage diasporans?

Pele o!

Do those in Nigeria need those abroad to call them before they vote for obi? Is it not the same obi that those in Nigeria are seeing here all the time? Is it until he goes to the US before nigerians resident in Nigeria will be convinced to vote for him? What kind of logic is that?

adioolayi:
I think he has more business canvassing for votes in the North, and the rural communities...Nigeria is very big ..work plenty here than in the diaspora...they won't come home to vote!

Electioneering has not started as per INEC's calendar. All he is doing now is selling his vision and creating his structure. You know a lot of people in diaspora are sending their people money to campaign for him. He has to also raise funds and this is one of the best ways.

Once people buy into your vision, they will be willing to raise campaign funds for you.

This una obi

Ennnn

Is clueless

pacesetting:
I gave you some points, unless you didn't read it.

You said "Second, it will do a lot of good to his campaign".

What are the points you say you gave to support your claim above? Care to share?

Buhari was invited by chatham house to the UK some time ago. How does being invited by a US university make obi the best candidate?

Desperado per excellence.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Nigeria is losing many good people with brains. Now, we have a great candidate who’s making business-minded moves to rub minds with diasporans and gain something to help his campaign and Nigeria. Don’t you see that, broda?

Gbam!

I love this man.

His only daughter got married July. No noise.

No excessive dubai party or peckham party. We steal money to party like drug balons and yahoo boys. Public funds.

We should publicly execute these people and their goons.
They have made us laughing stock of the world.

This shows Obi is not charismatic, he is a bad leader. Imaging an ex gov,8yrs gov for that matter celebrating daughter weeding on a low key.
Where r the commissioners that worked with him,his aids and political associate. He does not need to spend a dime those ppl should be able to get it done without calling on them.
One gud turn deserves another.
This is africa, if u r gud ppl will swarm around u; ur siblings, cousins, even ur driver will make donations is kind,gift and cash for a day like that.

I stated two, but maybe you didn't pay attention.

1. Nigerians in diaspora will contribute a good portion of his campaign funds.


2. While addressing Nigerians abroad, he may also win the hearts of some of those in Nigeria. Many are yet to settle for a candidate.

Why can't Nigeria politicians use Nigeria hospital?
They always go abroad for medical checkup.
Wishing you a safe trip Mr Obi.

Desperate times, call for desperate measures. The ebullient Mr. Obi is desperate for an egalitarian and greater Nigeria. Enough of the shenanigans by which we’ve become a suffering nation.

PenSniper:
Desperado per excellence.

He will go to USA on a commercial plane and book economy class...but not with private jet as other politcians normally waste Nigeria money to travel....that is humility..he is humble man ...and that is type of president Nigeria needs

There could be reasons why it was done so. Do you know whether it was the daughter's wish for a low-key wedding?
His son is also like that.

the same man who had no knowledge of engineering but went to study electricity situation in Egypt for just 3 days?
Even professors of engineering will take at least a year but a third class graduate of philosophy did under 3 days

Same person who told u 100 out of 150 nba players are Nigerians

So an over 60 year old man is a young man to u,then what should we call d likes of sowore n moghalu?

I guess toddlers?

Which has media-shy Tinubu told us?

Perhaps how to recruit 50 million youths into the military and feed them agabdo and cassava?

*MR. PETER OBI SUCCESSES IN ANAMBRA STATE AS A GOVERNOR*
The list below are the records of Mr. Peter Obi stewardship to the good people of Anambra when he was their Governor and not the one his predecessor or successor achieved.

This revolution tremendously boost the performance of students, as the state went from 26th position out of the 36 states in the federation to 1st position in the federation.
11. He gave one security vehicle to each of the 177 communities in Anambra. This in turn improved the security situation in Anambra tremendously.

13. He gave monthly #10k stipend to any Anambran above 80 years of age.

29. Adopted the best practice in waste management disposal by providing over 300B worth of Waste Evacuation Trucks.
30. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.
31. The only governor that planned for rainy day. He was able to save and handed over 75B to his successor. The only man that saw that there would be cash crutch in the future and planned for it.
32. The frugality, competence and credibility of Mr. Peter Obi cannot be overemphasized because he lives by what he preaches. Why other governors made EFCC or ICPC their home after tenure, he has been working around with his head held high. No single history of court case on graft or otherwise.

Anytime they ask you what is Obi achievement, please throw this at them for them to keep shut.

Why does this man love playing to the gallery?
Will people in the diaspora vote in Feb 2023?

Obi is a real comedian

He’s not a wasteful man. He is a true charismatic, not the type of showboating and lavishing person you expect him to be. Besides, his children are a chip off the old block. It may have been his daughter’s choice to keep her wedding simple.

Dude, stop being so small-minded. You should be left to wallow in your mischief. No amount of elucidations would suffice for your comprehension. People like you think “diasporans” are only good for sending things that grow on trees back home. There’s what you call strategic marketing for increased brand visibility globally and campaign fund inflow.

He's goal is to solicit some campaign funds from Diasporans. Simple. Majority of Nigerians abroad will not participate nor vote in the election. The real campaign is with grassroots in Nigeria. Talking to and interacting with rural people, the jobless urbanites and masses is where you'll get REAL insight into the problems of this country.

Many disaporans, not all, have a disposition to exaggerate the issues and negative things happening back home. Phrases like "failed state", "Nigeria will collapse" permeates the diasporan social media discussions. The conferences Obi will attend in USA, Canada, Germany are organized by resident Igbo associations in those countries. And of course, attendance will be skewed towards Igbos. So what's the value in help him understanding problems facing all Nigerians?

My friend, you are gradually heading to the realm of stupidity and I'm not ready to go there with you. Sorry I tried, but I can't help you any further.

Nigeria is destined for breakup and nothing can change that. So desperation is futile.

Dude you need to understand the problem of Nigeria's power situation is not that we don't have genius but there is a lack of understanding of the value chain of power and corruption whereby some cabals because of their selfish interests want the status quo to remain. What PO did going to Egypt is actually the smart thing to do understudy others especially people who share the similar peculiar power situations and have been able to increase output.

Please what is the big deal of celebrating wedding in a low key? As that made the wedding not to stand?
At least in this country we've seen weddings conducted flamboyantly and the talk of the town and they never stayed for 6 months. I think premium should be paid on whether bride price was paid or not, which is the most legitimate in wedding and how they will live after wedding.

Obi said he was going to Egypt to learn about Egypt's education, finance and power sector. Pls tell me how was obi able to learn about Egypt's power sector in 3days? What was he able to learn in those 3days? Can you share the specifics? Who and who did he understudy in those 3days?
