Like I supported the right of igbo people to produce the president of this country this time at the beginning, and i don't care whoever the person is, so far he is an igbo man because for equity, fairness and justice to prevail, Igbo people must produce the president of this country, but the fascist movement under obidient is what I can't live with. Why should I be forced to support someone that is infallible according to his supporters? Someone that does no wrong?

Let me tell you something, if you REALLY believed in voting for competence and transparent/accountable leadership for Nigeria, NOTHING would make you stop supporting Obi.
What you are doing here is called being clever by half.
I supported candidate A, but because his supporters did this and that, I changed my mind! cheesy cheesy
Are you voting for the candidate or his supporters?

Sadly most persons that said the truth about him then are calling him Nigeria Messiah now because of tribalism. Shame on you bigots!

But how do you explain the fact that South east has the best human development indices in Nigeria?
Tell me one state in South west that is better than ANY south east state (minus our collectively owned Lagos, of course).
Is it in education?
Health?
income per capita?
Infrastructure?
Debt?
Show me, or accept that fact that south east governors on average performed better than your south west governors.
How else can one judge performance?

He was my governor in Anambra state, and he LAID A GOOD FOUNDATION for Anambra to achieve her destiny.
When I came back home to Anambra after a few years outside Nigeria, I couldn't believe the HUGE transformation that has happened.
The development in Anambra is second to none in Nigeria.
And Anambra people are not people anyone can deceive easily.
So, if Obi did well for Anambra (despite all the challenges he faced from then federal government backed thugs and thieves), he will do well for Nigeria.
I love a FUNCTIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL Nigeria. I do not love a Nigeria turned into a slave chattel by a man who turn Lagos into a slave chattel.
Why is that hard for your kind to understand?

For a state that was not among oil producing states to constantly rank high in terms of development indices, is something to study.
And Anambra is already being studied by other states.
That legacy was laid by GOOD leaders like Peter G Obi.
Funnily enough, the rest of Nigerians who haven't lost their conscience to tribalism took note of Obi, and voted overwhelmingly for him.

You won't see me posting pictures of places or speaking about how I am being treated here sometimes, because this is what is obtainable everywhere in this country. I was in agulu 2 days ago, but i won't post pictures or say something bad about some places I see just because I want to discredit Peter obi, I won't say something bad about agulu people because I don't like peter obi because I have met countless people some from his kindred that see him as weak and deceiver.

When Obi was governor, a lot of Anambra people didn't really understand what he was trying to do then.
You know that Nigerians are used to leaders who bamboozle them with flashy white elephant projects.
The people of Anambra state started to understand and appreciate Obi AFTER he left office, and the result sheets became available.
It turned out that Obi single handedly delivered Anambra state and set a SOLID legacy of good governance.
If not for Peter Obi, there would be no Gov. Soludo today. QUOTE ME.
Anambra was a den of political thieves. Obi ended that, for good.
He then proceeded to lay the foundation upon which Anambra today is sitting. And IRREVOCABLE foundation.

If Obi becomes Nigeria's president, he will trigger a transformation that would ensure that only honest/competent leaders would be vying for Nigeria's presidency in the future.
The years of the locusts would be over, for good.

I have been coming to igboland on regular basis, since 2010, and trust me, i know this state more than you, 😎
The earlier we start supporting a generally acceptable igboman the better. For instance, Rochas okorocha can easily become the president of this country without stress, you may wanna have your reservations about him, but people like can easily win all regions.

His Agulu people won't speak good of him because he did not behave like Ngige who used Anambra state money to build all the roads in his own LGA. Agulu people went to Obi to demand more from him (as their son), and Obi told them pointblank that Anambra state has 21 LGAs, and he is the governor of the whole state, and not governor of Agulu.
Most Anambra people know this story.

We must have rotational presidents in this country to have peace. Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump are the best candidate in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ or Rushi Sunak,Theresa May, Boris Johnson are/were the best people for that office.

Presidency is about expediency and not competency.

Why would you want an Igbo candidate with incompetent records, instead of one with competent records?
You see why I say that Igbo people don't vote bad leaders?
If you put Rochas on the ballot, he will lose in ALL South east states.

Well, good idea, but Peter Obi ran on competence rather than tribe or region.
He told Nigerians to vote for him based on his records and what he promises to do, not based on his tribe or religion, etc.
All that is needed at this point is for justice to be done, and seem to be done.
If the judiciary conducts a THOROUGH judicial process and in the end concludes that Tinubu won fairly and should be sworn in, I believe that even Peter Obi would lead the way to congratulate Tinubu, and the country would move on.
But if justice is not done, then Nigeria's future becomes really bleak for many reasons.

See ehn, let's not go into details, like I said I won't be saying much about Peter Obi again, elections are over.
Now give me Rochas Okorocha, or Oji Uzo Kalu.
Who cares if they are this and that? You think most people that voted for Tinubu don't know about his thieving tendencies and kleptomania?

This is where a camel would pass through the eye of the needle before Igbo would support such leaders.

Even if he does, he will still win the presidency, after all, the last 3 elections have proven that with or without south eastern votes, one can still win.

Now, no matter what you think about Rochas okorocha, he will be a better president than Peter Obi, we can continue to argue this from now to eternity.
Rocahs is generally more acceptable across all regions and that's the biggest criteria to become the president of Nigeria as per the current arrangements.

Nah, we need to start having rethink about this president of a thing. All what a president should poses in my own opinion is the political will and compassion to take the right decisions.

I chose the term "right candidate" deliberately, because it can be proven easily that South east supported better candidates.

Is Jonathan not better than Buhari (looking back now)?
And if your answer is that Buhari is better, then how can you accuse Jonathan supporters of being sentimental?
On what basis did you support Buhari over Jonathan?
Is Nigeria not a mess today compared with when Jonathan was president? Heck Nigeria today cannot even conduct a free and fair election!

As for Tinubu... every unsentimental thinking person cannot even dream of supporting him! The man even lost in a state he governed for 8 years!
But his supporters are calling others sentimental?
I keep saying that the reason Nigeria cannot produce and supply 24/7 electricity is because people in Nigeria embrace darkness as a spiritual principle even without knowing.

But it remains the truth.
Anambra is effectively THIRD in Nigeria economically speaking. I was even shocked to see that Anambra topped Kano state.

There is a reason for such quick transformation of the state.
One of the reasons is the man they want to de-market and paint bad - Peter Gregory Obi.
