Isn't this the typical Igbo thought towards the north.
If not that last Ramadan, Arewa Twitter show them real wealth

North should blame their wicked selfish elites that force them to remain poor.

MorataFC:
it's like you don't get it.
How will you react if Buhari says, he wants Nigeria to be free of armed robbery, hard drugs business, especially from the south-east

It's no new thing naa! Southeast have always been deprived! Even the completed bridge is still shut! Lol.. the moment nigerians realise these top politicians don't care bout me n you, the longer you'll live

People are getting riled up by a fake Deep Fake audio produced by APC.

It's all fake people. Don't let these votes thief's distract you from how they raped our democracy.

Their propaganda machine is really deceiving lots of people.

For the poverty in the North. The stats are saying it and no amount of covering up will make it go away.

And it affects everyone even if you are rich and have some many poor people around you.

I don't understand.
Per the NBS (National Bureau of Statistics), the poorest Nigerians live in the North.
How is this political?

Here is the link to the report directly from the NBS.

Rubbish response to his tweets, As if Peter Obi isn’t true in all what he said. Poverty is highly abundant in the North. Statistics are there for you to see. Don’t let lies and propaganda beclouded your sense. Peter Obi said the truths about the poverty in the North joor.

If you check time you go know say that the mumu guy just dey screen shot where them dey talk nonsense for comment

Isobug:
They should all quench jare....Obi said the truth,. Those people hiding their problems are deceiving themselves. They say a problem identified is a problem half solved. If they like they should keep wallowing in illusion

He should identity the problem that makes u run to lagos first and solve it. He should identify the problem why his people are arrested everyday for Drugs all over the world.. If it is not poverty that is tge reason they are carrying drugs what is? He should first identify why anambra has the highest number of inmate in prisons around the world.. Peter obi i keep saying it, is the most useless governor the southeast has ever had.. The man bu ezi.. Ezigbo ewu gambia.. Ndi otimkpu ya di ga gi.. amaghi ihe a ga agwa unu.. Aturu di ka o ka nma

Shut up. The statistics are there. The real Northerners PO wants to pull out of poverty are not the ones tweeting. This are the online paid APC propaganda machines. Ignore them.

The old politicians have used poverty as a weapon in the North for far too long, so anything there is an election they can buy the North votes with 500 naira. That must end.

You get dragged for telling lies; not this.

65% of the poverty stricken are in the North; 35% in the South. Is that a wrong use of especially? Not to add that the lowest number is actually in 'his' region.

Nah, they're just doing the Corn's work. Nothing realistic about their whims.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
What an insult to Northerners. Nigeria really dodged a bullet.

the truth is always bitter. Which dodged a bullet Nigerians voted for Peter Obi and he won,if the happen to re conduct this election in a free and fair manner Peter obi will still win. The rate of poverty in the core North is very obvious to the blind I pray Allah will save us from this selfish politicians

did he lie?

Peter Obi is a mad. Anybody who supports that monkey must have lost his brain in the Afgan-eastern region of Nigeria.
Let blame those people that brought Peter Obi into this to constitute nuisance, before i smarsh his urgly face.
They don't tell him about richest person in Africa in person of ALIKO DANGOTE who is my neighbore and we are all northerner, but they told him about the poverty.
Thunder fire your ancestor........

This one keeps shooting himself on the foot.

shebi Peter Obi is the one that brought out the statistics that shows north is the poorest?

inoki247:
Lol people always using the North as a region of Poverty.....


With all the poverty and insecurity in the North how many times av we seen dem go outside the country to disgrace the country or commit crime outside the country...


If a crime is committed outside 100 times na Southerner dey always take the 99percent spot....

People that even av enough format, enough stories they can use to procure a Visa than a Southerner from the insecurity, Religious crisis, happening in the North buh still choose to stay in the country and not go out to disgrace the country with crime...


I'm sure if a Northern politicians wake up and accuse the Southerner of always exporting crime to other countries Southerner will also call him Bigot, Alimajiri all sort of names nd even curse him everywhere go don full of noise like this...


As India get Poor people pass they've Rich people more than UAE combined...

Wtf is his problem? He should have become wise by now.

He's going no where without votes from the North. Christians alone can't vote him in. I thought this is now clear to everyone, most esp him. 61 year old man fgs, still acting and thinking like a baby.

He would even lose more. He would still sweep his stronghold (the SE) though.

muhammaduyusufu:
Peter Obi gets called an ethnic bigot because of a tweet where he narrowed down poverty to the North by using the word especially.

Those people insulting OBI are the real idiots who just hate the truth; they're simply insulting OBI out of tribal bigotry, nothing else...

Since when did it become a hidden fact that the north has the highest poverty index in Nigeria? isnt it the same thing Sanusi and Atiku and even Buhari talks about everyday? It's now suddenly a hate crime or insult because OBI mentions it? If that's not tribal bigotry, then I wonder what it is.

Similarly, who on earth doesnt know the north has a massive illiteracy problem? One second, you're fighting to retain the useless quota system by claiming to be educational disadvantage, the next second, they're claiming to be the poorest to receive Buhari's N5000 handouts, but suddenly OBI mentions poverty in the north and it becomes an abomination?....

The kind of desperate hatred these northerners have for OBI is really disturbing. Is it not true that the north is the poverty capital of Nigeria?

Even a simple stat which sometimes plays down on the current happenings in the north will tell you that they are the ones in abject poverty and mostly affected by insecurity....yet they keep voting their oppressors every 4 years!

The title of the thread is misleading!
It should be 'Peter Obi gets dragged by APC supporters who love their 'chains'.

Oga theres a difference between GREED and POVERTY.

Greed is the reason why people traffic drugs, not poverty. A person in abject poverty wouldnt even have the means to leave the country, let alone getting involved in drug trafficking.

Meanwhile, when did it become a secret that the north is the poverty capital of Nigeria? Since when did it become an in insult to say this? Or is it because it is OBI that mentions it? Why do you people hate this man so much?

"Peter Obi, wallahi ba za mu yafe maka ba......."

THE POPULATION OF A RICH PEOPLE IN KANO STATE ALONE IS TWO TIMES OF AN ENTIRE SOUTH ESTERN POPULATION.
Peter Obi is a mad man, religious bigot and tribalistic animal.

Raskimonojendor:

in your dreams. The reason why APC is attacking Peter Obi is because they know Peter Obi won massively in just concluded election even. Who owns the north if not kwakwanso very soon nnpp will take over the core North. Without rigging APC will come distance third with less than 2million votes

Yes daddy, there’s no poverty in Anambra. That’s why you created a beer factory for them, to drink themselves to stupor after making money from drugs and fake products including medications. They still run down to Lagos in overnight buses though, looking for greener pasteur. But you dare not criticise your people for peddling drugs all over the globe. Because they all know how you made your first million to break the shackles of poverty. 99% of Nigerians in jail in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore are either Chinedu or Chukwudi. But that’s not your concern now.

mariahAngel:
They've ganged up to gaslight him.
Nowadays, when you say the truth, you've committed treason.

This is one of the reasons the emir of sokoto gave him a book on principles of leadership few days to the election but unfortunately he has refused to read that book or apply the principles.
As a leader not all truth are spoken they way they are seen. Imagine how you will sitting in a congregation where the pastor or Iman always use your father as example of the poor in the society that needs help, whereas his extended family members are also poor.
Obi is found of scoring own goal in his attempt to blackmail people into supporting his ambition.

MorataFC:

How will you react if Buhari says, he wants Nigeria to be free of armed robbery, hard drugs-related business, especially from the south-east.

Supremos:

This is akin to saying, since FG proscribed IPOB. Every person of Igbo descent from the east is a terrorist. Of the all almost 20 presidential candidates that participated in this election. Obi is the only one that couldn't hide his bigotry. He cannot even pretend to like the north because like most hypocrites, they always end up revealing themselves. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of public outcry and persecution we would be seeing if Tinubu was the one caught on audio making inciteful comments about this election.

Some truths should not be said by some people.
The North only recently voted overwhelmingly voted against you, at the very least be careful that anything you say about them for now, truthful or not, cannot be twisted and wrongly interpreted.

For all his faults, I doubt you will ever hear Tinubu mention for now anything against Easterners and the East except saying nice soothing words even if he doesn't mean them.

Even Mandela chose his words very carefully when talking about white South Africans, majority of whom never voted for him, despite having an overwhelmingly majority of the South African vote.

Peter Obi is now a national statesman going by how he shook up the electoral landscape, he now needs to fully understand the responsibilities that come with that.
