Omonieme:I was on Twitter the other day and cos I said I will vote for ABAT, I was villified and asked how much I was paid I have never even met any APC foot soldier not to talk of being given any form of inducement. I didn't even reply cos I am 100% certain Obi can't be among the first two most voted for in the upcoming election. So why engage with such? 2 Likes |

[quote author=Racoon post=118453587][/quote] very much love your erudite post as it was well detailed and succintly put. You can be engaged in proper discussion as against the marauding politically naive lot running all over the internet. I will like to have a point by point observation to your opinion. 1. The pummeling of the GEJ administration pre 2015 by the oppsition then was majorly on the perceived inefficiencies of the PDP led govt in the areas of economy,corruption and insecurity.most of the attacks were directly targeted at the govt with facts and indices to back up.most where not directly at gej as a person nor his family. The major backers of GEJ then weren't even the SS but the SE with their penchant for wanting to shout everyone down and weren't ready to accept another opinion.....it was either their way or no other albeit they tenaciously defended him and saw absolutely no wrong in the then PDP govt. This was one of the greatest undoing of his supporters then and its same mistake same people supporting obi are making......an average APC supporter today would accept that the presentation APC govt has been quite abysmal but are ready to try again with another person which they have a right too just as obi supporters.....you need to tell me what your candidate can do better and let's compare and not you cursing and being aggressive about your view. |

Nwaide01:It's not about being God, you lots have never taken the time out to study the trends of what it takes to be the President of the Nation. If 70 percent of southern youth votes for Obi, he still won't become president. I believe at the end of the elections, you'll begin to take the north more seriously and understand that to rule a country like Nigeria, a democratic nation where sensation and emotion doesn't win you anything, only numbers count. 1 Like |

[quote author=Racoon post=118453587][/quote] -2).Where also were you Fedrick Nwabufo when Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and other party stalwarts openly threatened that APC will form a "paralleled government" in the pre-2015 era of politicking and they have not apologised for such a treasonable statement nor Amaechi punished for it. This was merely what it was-threath and nothing more,tell me where any APC supporter then and now supported this mere opinion of his.....obviously supporters of obi on the other hand takes all what he says as the holy grail that must not be countered in anyway or form, is this your idea of a proper democracy? |

Bigleaf1006:People with brains dey nairaland at least, say no more please, by February ending, they will know attacking others for their political stance won't win them any added votes. It's a two-way horse race between Tinubu and Atiku, and may Obi maintain his course by reducing Atiku votes in the South. 1 Like |

[quote author=Racoon post=118453587][/quote] Where again were you sir when the Oba of Lagos openly threatened Igbos that they will be drowned in the Lagos Lagoon if they failed to align themselves with the present disastrous APC regime both in Lagos and national. This just like your 2nd point was an opinion by the Oba which I agree was distasteful and shouldn't have been espoused by such a person, but if you would agree with me too, it was a light hearted banter between the Oba and his Igbo guests who visited him....this was never promoted as a campaign point by the party or its supporters. While their miscreants were disenfranchising Igbo in their dominant areas from exercising their constitutional and democratic rights? So where is the rights to freedom of expression, association and to vote your choice or to be voted for? Tell me which other political party or its supporters have successfully held rallies in the south east aside the LP since this electioneering campaign started as against how LP has been successfully holding rallies outside of Peter obi's SE freely without being harassed. Also how many people campaigning against atiku or tinubu in their respective regions have been harassed or attacked by their people as its been done to obi's perceived adversaries in the SE.....on this,your 4 fingers are pointing right back at you. |

ebenhealth: A brainy person does not avoid debates. Tinubu avoids debates with fellow presidential candidates. Tinubu's speech defect now is not hidden. He draws his speeches now due to afflictions of the brain that come with old age. They have Shettima as president, Tinubu is being used as means to drive Shettima to be president. I don't know who you referred to as dunce, obviously it can't be Peter Obi. |

[quote author=Racoon post=118453587][/quote] .-Was Mr Fedrick Nwabufo fully aware the Bola Ahmed Tinubu openly asked those demanding for better governance and change of government away from the present catastrophe the APC is to "shut up?" Didnt Bola Tinubu APC asked for chain that gullible citizens take for change in 2015? Are we still practicing democracy let alone the participatory type? Bola Tinubu also recently said "mentioning Funke Akindele's name in his presence is an insult" to the cheering and clapping of his supporters during a townhall meeting in Lagos. This I must say is rather petty and pedestrian to have any bearing on the issue based campaign we should be having......sarcasm is allowed in politics |

[quote author=Racoon post=118453587][/quote] . Furthermore, this was the same Tinubu who openly sided the present oppressive government stance to allowed security agencies open fire on youth demanding for good governance and political reforms across this nation especially on 20-10-20 @ Lekki. Are you comfortable with that? The truth is that, though it may be a sad development, the precedence for overt abuse and intolerance in Nigerian politics was initiated by the military but Bola Ahmed Tinubu's APC have reinforced it.The APC have no regard for due process, orderliness or the rule of law. Can you please show proof that it was tinubu that gave order for the military to crush the endsars protest in Lagos and also be factual enough to avail us names and addresses of just 2 families that lost anybody at the lekki toll gate during the endsars protest. A seasoned analyst and observer cannot depend on hearsay to propagate a story. Propaganda can be identified by any sane and intelligent person and should never be promoted....only fools or mischief makers promote what they have no proof over. |

ebenhealth:Who is the dunce? Your candidate has been making blunders upon blunders but you don't see him as a dunce do you? or is it possible you're suffering from the same age-induced maladies as he is? Maradona was a football legend in his prime, but will you field him today due to his age? Wole Soyinka was an intellectual genius in his prime, but will you shoulder his with the responsibilities of leading a heaving country like Nigeria? You people should come open and tell yourselves the truth, the only reason you're supporting this man is because he's from your tribe and you're looking to use him to advance the cause of the yoruba race, nothing else. If Peter Obi was a Yoruba man contesting against Tinubu, you lots will support him and say he's the best thing after sliced bread. If Tinubu was contesting for president of the Yoruba tribe alone, you'll never vote him but you're looking to foist him on 200million long-suffering Nigerians. E no go work for una. Our mumu don do. My happiness is that the rest of the tribes are quietly observing the kind of tribalistic politics you people are playing |
Re: "The Tyranny Of The Vocal Minority" By Fredrick Nwabufo by ZombieSlayer1: 8:58am On Nov 17, 2022 |
ebenhealth:You people are getting villified because, while you have the right to vote whoever you want to vote, your choices have impact on other people if your candidate unfortunately wins. People have suffered enough and you're looking to vote someone who other more sensible people know will be a calamity. If Nigeria was structured same way the United Kingdom is, into different countries, believe me no one will care if you guys vote a stone. It's now obvious to all the other tribes that the Yoruba tribe only seek to advance their own interests while other people can go to hell. We're just observing y'all and we'll pay you back in your own coin soon |

Besides Peter obi was in PDP just last year and was also a member of Goodluck Jonathan maladministration for 6 years, besides he even contested as Atiku vice president in 2019. How all of a sudden Peter obi is the Messiah and the man to take Nigeria great again. Was Peter obi not also mentioned as having offshore account in the Pandora papers? I just think shallow minded misguided people are pushing this false narrative about Peter obi's solution. On the other hand Tinubu was never a member Of The stealing band wagon government of ex president Jonathan neither was he a minister or even contractor in this present administration why blame him for the failure.

People come online to write non sense. What is lynch mob? As anyone been lynched? Besides election, twitter is known to be hostile and that is what makes it fun. If you cannot handle it, then mind your business. Besides politics, Twitter is a war ground. People cannot sell their bad product and now come to cry foul. In 2015 when there was propaganda everywhere, there was no lynching mob. Non sense. If you cannot handle it, get off twitter but it aint stopping all ye cowards. |

Bigleaf1006: You nailed it. I don't know when someone says he will cast his or her vote for Atiku or Tinubu and you tag him or her an enemy of Nigeria. If I may ask, do obedients expect a card-carrying members of PDP or APC to cast their votes for Labour Party?? Anyone with dissent opinion is seen as a sabotuer |
Re: "The Tyranny Of The Vocal Minority" By Fredrick Nwabufo by Vintage100(m): 10:22am On Nov 17, 2022 |
ebenhealth:. Your post is sensible. Even if 95% of southern youths (which isn't possible) cast their votes for Obi, he won't still win. This is why Tinubu is focusing on the North to reduce Atiku's influence drastically cos he knows he will win southwest while he knows that south south and south east is a no-go area for him. |
