festacman: Not a bad choice in terms both qualifications and presence. However, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is politically speaking, very lightweight both nationally and locally.
Looking dope, polished and elitist is good but Nigerian politics is akin to a fight in the jungle. I am not sure what his association with Northern youths has been to use them as his support-base and foot-soldiers. Can the 'Northern street' readily identify with him? Moreso, when that street is largely illiterate and helplessly gullible as the result of aloofness of young professionals like him.
Matter of fact, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is not any different from the other Northern elites who in spite of their exposure and erudition just stay aloof, do their things and mind their businesses without doing anything socially to empower the young Northerners.
Nevertheless, if this is Peter Obi+Datti Baba Ahmed's time, things will fall in place on their own with little effort.
This man is very very heavy weight. He defeated a sitting Governor Makarfi in Kaduna in 2011. That's how influential this guy is. Wait and see.
Showbby28: There seems to be no end in sight of the crisis bedeviling the Labour Party as some of its stakeholders have accused it's Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi of mounting pressure on his proposed running mate , Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed to sign an agreement which demands that Datti serves only term as Vice President and also makes a financial commitment of two hundred billion Naira as contribution to fund the campaign.
Findings have also revealed that in addition to the above demands that Datti the founder and Pro-chancellor of Baze University Abuja utilises his position to mandate the students and staff to obtain and avail their Permanent voters card (PVC) to vote for the Labour Party Presidency in the 2023 General elections.
This is coming barely few hours after a former Deputy National Chairman of Labour Party, LP, Calistus Uju Okafor disowned the Presidential ambition of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi which vowing not to backtrack on his suit currently challenging the constitutionality of the Abure-led national working committee of the party in Court which produced Obi as the Presidential candidate of the LP. The development as gathered fueled the recent call by a northern establishment on Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed to decline the vice Presidential slot offer.
According to reports as gathered by polity.com a source close to the Julius Abure led LP executive hinted that the pronouncement of the businessman and politician as running mate to the Labour Party candidate is being delayed as a result of Peter Obi’s demands which some of them described as stringent and inconsiderate.
Pleading anonymity the source further unveiled that a series of meetings had been ongoing inorder to meet up with July 15 Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deadline for the submission of the list of vice Presidential,governorship and House of Assembly candidates by political parties.
The insistence of Obi's stance that Datti will serve only one term as vice president and also commit 200 billion campaign fund has been a major clog in the wheel as majority of the party stakeholders including Datti have out rightly rejected. According to the source, signing such agreement will be a betrayal to the North, adding that though the party is in need of funds considering the financial power of their opponents Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, Datti will however not be induced to make such outrageous commitment. Disclosing further the source said that Datti has also refused to compromise his position as pro Chancellor of the University to mandate the University communities to submit their voter cards, he added that talks are still ongoing as at the time of filing this report its however unclear if any agreement has been reached.
Another bottle neck as disclosed by the source is that fact that Baba-Ahmed hails from the popular Baba Ahmed family in Kaduna, whose brother is Hakim Baba-Ahmed, spokesperson of the Northern Elders’ Forum, NEF hence the demand to refuse the offer.
"The situation is very difficult as a result of the demands being made by Peter Obi. Though he has brought the Party to limelight, his demands are outrageous. We are trying our best to manage the situation.
"We are still battling with our court case over the leadership of the Party but Peter Obi is not helping matters by insisting that Datti agrees to serve only one term and gives 200 billion. Even on social media we are tagged as the IPOB party. How can you expect Datti to agree to such demands? We cannot even agree to such a thing because it will cause a serious problem later in the future and it will be a huge slap to the Northerners.
"According to our last meeting we are looking at a budget of about six hundred billion to fund the campaign if we are to match Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku of the Peoples Democratic Party but asking Datti to provide 200 billion out of 600 is very inconsiderate. It's just like buying the position of the Vice Presidential ticket when Peter Obi joined; we never made such a demand, not even to Pat Utomi, the source is quoted to have said.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra and former presidential aspirant of the PDP joined LP on May 27 after he withdrew from the race for PDP’s presidential ticket and also resigned from the party in a letter dated May 24. He won the presidential ticket of LP at the party’s convention in Asaba on May 30.
Just look at the face of the daft that was used to write this. Una never see anything. Idiats! APC and PDP have lost momentum, all of them are now fighting over Peter Obi! Facts! It just goes to show that Peter Obi is the man of the Moment!
This idiot has just destroyed the little credibility he has! He has completely lost it. This people are setting the stage for the complete and total emancipation of the South East.
If this attitude continues, the international community will have no other option but to let Igbos go and start their own country. When you have tribal bigots and leaders like Kwankwaso and co saying things like this, then, it I all over.
As for His Excellency Peter Obi, this is the time to make his move and look for an affable Northerner preferably from the North Central who will be a bastion of support or pick a Nothern Christian from the North East and run with him or her.
People like Kwankwaso are part of the old order. They have nothing to offer this generation except tribalistic vituperations. Kwankwaso is an enemy of Nigeria.
GreatBoss: Obi can never win the election. I want Obi to win but truth be told its not possible concerning what Nigeria of today is.
South South that I'm from will mainly vote Atiku because he gave them Vice. All the sitting Governors will ask their people to vote PDP.
South West will vote mostly Tinubu. Jagaban have enough force there to pay his way through and he is Yoruba and naturally have supporters everywhere.
North Central will be divided by the main 3. Kwankwanso is not even on the menu.
North West is Fulani controlled territory They will never leave fellow Fulani and vote Igbo or Yoruba. North is also working on punishing Tinubu for stubbornness.
North East is Atiku home.
Only Kano vote is over 2 times of all South East votes put together and even in South East, APC and PDP have the State and LGAs. For those that say Igbo is large, don't forget that only South East Votes have been fully confirmed to represent Igbo choices. Other states have shown the representing of the choice of that state indigenes. Igbos are not large anywhere. All those tribes u call Igbos comprise of Ijaw, Isoko, Urhobo Ikwere, Ogoni etc.
Don't forget that Okorocha got no vote out of the 82 delegates from IMO in the APC Primaries.
It went to Tinubu.
Election day structure is what matters and Obi does not have it in all wards. Don't you see that APC and PDP that know of election and what truly matters don't make online noise like una. Northerners see a vote for Obi like a vote for Biafra. They can never vote for Obi. They have enough foreign voters to rig for their candidate Atiku. They give those foreigners free access to Nigeria in return while claiming Northerners.
Una eyes will clear after the election day.
Idiot! You are cursed with foolishness! Foolish fool!
PDP: PDP and Atiku have lost it a long time ago. Atiku is sold-out and would sell out Nigeria like his OBJ era. He was the Puppet of the U.S in charge of privatization. We must know the cold war going on now is not just against Russia but against any country that has refused privatization. Atiku also lost it when he and Saraki were running up and down selling out the country to the U.S in the last election. I don’t know when someone wanted for crime becomes unwanted for 48 hours in the U.S.
LP: His last interview did more bad than good for him. All I could hear from his press is how he would go to Egypt and ask them how they double their megawatts(SIgn of a sold-out). As if he does not live in Nigeria and understand what is going on. This is how you will know a sold-out puppet. Another thing is I keep hearing IMF and DEBT from him way too much. No plan, nothing. The sound of IMF in the mouth of someone that is contesting is RedZone. (A typical example in the past was IBB). More debt slavery.
APC: Well, a more qualified candidate for the post. Not the “Putin” Nigeria needs to be honest but could still be manageable in the absence of a real Putin(Someone like Babatunde Raji Fashola could be the Putin Nigeria Needs but he’s not contesting). As long as any one of these politicians refuse to solve the structural deformation of the country one of such is completely reviving the Health industry in a way no Politician will ever be allowed to travel abroad for medical check-up.
I can bet, that not much will change. After checking all the contradictions in the entity called Nigeria. The only way they can kill the leaders who are ready to truly revive the Ajaokuta steel industry and complete Rosatom(Nuclear power plants for Power) is via traveling abroad for medical check-ups. Until this health industry issue is solved.
I see Nigeria on a steady decline. Whoever becomes the president out of the three, will never stop the depreciation of Naira. Depreciation of the Naira can only stop if the Ajaokuta steel industry is revived completely and Rosatom power plants to power the industry are continued or also completed. Any leader who refuses to play balls or sabotage this deal will be killed by the west. To avoid not being killed, the health sector must be revolutionized. Again, the only manageable candidate is Tinubu. Rest, I see a complete sold-out. https://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/local-news/opinion-its-now-left-for-nigerians/
Please don't mind the cursed person who wrote this. He will always beg for bread for willingly promoting a destroyer Tinubu to lead his country.
1.THEIR POLITICIANS CANNOT COMPETE WITH OTHER POLITICIANS FROM EACH POLITICAL ZONES.
2. THEY DON'T BUILD BRIDGES ACROSS THE NATION.
3. THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT HAUSA AND FULANI'S SUPPORT THEY'RE NOTHING IN TERMS OF POLITICS REASON WHY MANY OF THEIR POLITICIANS DO STEPS DOWN FOR NORTHERNERS IN EVERY ELECTION.
4. THEY'RE STILL LEARNING NIGERIAN POLITICS FROM THE YORUBAS
5. POLITICS IS NOT IN THEIR CULTURE
You are part of the problem in this country. Imagine archaic ideas coming from you! Everything you said is a homongous lie.
The North carry this Tinubu mata for head no be small..
Pandora and the other losers laboring in pain go suffer, make den save their time and money and quickly retire..
The money that is being wasted for this election is just too much. They are all doing this because of money. More than half of Nigerians Next Year budget will be wasted on the elections by Tinubu then when Nigeria collapses, they will start looking for who to blame. Tinubu mission is to take everything away from Nigerians to him and his family. May God save Nigeria.
REDshouse: one the Schools and block of classrooms built by Tinubu compared Obi
This is nonsense. First of all show us a plaque to show that Tinubu built the School. Secondly His Excellency Peter Obi built his own after being a governor in 2019. He built the School as a private individual. That is commendable.
Aify3000: I went to my girlfriend's search history,i found many lesbian porn in her searches,i dont really understand what this means,why would she watch lesbian porn while as she is a straight girl,i confronted her she said she is not a lesbian
You don't have a girlfriend. She is a lesbian but she sleeps with you because of the money and other things she gets from you.
That's my problem with most young guys of nowadays, a problem will be staring you in the face and you will pretend that you don't know about it. Most young Nigerian ladies are heavily into Lesbianism.
Peter Obi does not talk for talking sake. Let him respond to this. Unless and until, I see for myself, I know that a lot of criminals will be doing whatever they can to manipulate information against Peter Obi but God will put them to shame.
DOWN2HeartLoved: I usually come to nairaland to get advice on business or any other related stuffs am affected with
Currently am in a tight spot, have been dating a lady I met during a trip, after a month, we started chatting and I went to visit her, things were smooth until we have a child, now she's different
The thing am surprised about her is I don't know her family background, only believed what she told me, she's from Auchi and Orogun and the mother lives in Ondo, we have issues I had to move out of my own house for her, the problem is I'm thinking she has children outside, she's always 28 every year, am thinking she's close to 40, why lie about age and many more.
Reasons am baffled, her mother isn't showing any concern.
She has lots of brothers
She always calls me a small boy
She doesn't even care now, even if I die
Problems:- I have invested on this relationship emotionally, physically and even more,
Is she from Benin? She lied too, she has turned my people against me, right now no one reason me seriously again, because everyone is telling me she's a club girl and I need to leave her, she just laughs and blocks anytime I called her, people are telling me she might have built a house with my money elsewhere.
Am shocked this is happening to me.
Very very foolish man. Easily manipulated by women. Unless and until you learn not to be distracted by sex, you will never be a man. This is the problem of youth nowadays. Very very useless. All they think is sex sex sex. What were you doing in the nonsense you call relationship that you didn't know you were being manipulated? Why won't she call you a small boy? Because of how you behaved. Pussy is your religion. You are senseless.
Next time, don't be distracted by sex, look deep. Most women of nowadays are lesbians and prostitutes. They just sleep with men for money, nothing more. Know that and know peace.
Risentouch: “I would have loved him as a Vice President. Many of us were rooting for him to be running mate to Atiku again.”
Honestly, a lot of youths in this country are dullards. No wonder, they are easily manipulated. Can you imagine? Just the mere fact that they are talking about him and everybody is saying he is a good man is the best indication that he is better than Atiku and Tinubu combined together! They would have loved him to be Atikus Vice. Why because they know the value he carries!
We want him as number one! Let him lead the Nation. I am fully Obidient!
Alaigbopress: I came to this Forum to complain about how my Girlfriend always posts pictures of her ex on her Status and uses his pictures as her screensaver.
After her explanations which looked like Truth. We moved on and I have to make a Counter post where I nearly insulted Nairalanders who came to my help with loads of advice to dump the Girl. Here is the link to the second thread I made which also made the front page.
Please Nairalanders forgive me for not heeding to your advice, and also the way I spoke to You guys. I am really sorry about that.
This morning I woke up again and went through her Status and saw another guy she posted on her Status. Jokingly I asked her if this is the Okechukwu (not my name) she is talking about and putting Love Emorji for because she has done that several times. So I was expecting her to tell me that the guy is her Cousin or a relation and to my chagrin she told me the guy is her ex and that she just loves the picture.
I now reprimanded and scolded her that I had warned her not to post anything ex both pictures or videos on her Status. That was when this same girl told me that it is over between us that I complain a lot bla bla bla.
WHY AM I WRITING THIS I am writing this to advise my fellow guys. Guys please You have to be careful with these girls, some of them are very heartless, wicked and very manipulative.
Today I am joining the Redpill Gang full time.
The girl was manipulating you and we saw through that. But you won't because your head was just filled with images of her pussy and boobs. That's always the problem with most of you. That's how some men spend millions on lesbians who have no iota of love for them because they are distracted by sex. If you are observant, it will be very hard for any woman to manipulate you.
KiNg0G: I'm from the south south and I can sense a manipulator when I see one.. the dude is 60yrs old, a vibrant man.. but no different from these old folks out there.. i have no issues with him, but why use the youth as a shield for his election campaing.its so clear and majority of the youths are falling already. I could remember months ago, party tickets haven't been sold yet, he had a meeting with some "musicians" later we heard some of them were planing free concert but you have to own a pvc to be allowed in. Dear youth ask yourself is the concert really free? someone is definitely sponsoring that concert for their selfish gain.
Although it's a nice ideal to Make the youth come out in full this time around to vote for a betterment of this nation, but while doing that don't be influenced by this musicians who are on their tweetpad tweeting daily most of them have already secured their stomach infastructures.
This is not to discredit anyone, it's an opinion and an observation!. I already have my pvc ready and as a youth I Know who am going to vote.
Seun lalasticlala
. Very very foolish youth. Very very foolish. All he thinks is pussy and free money. Idiots everywhere!
More secrets of Mr Peter Obi unveiled. Tufiakwa By Igbo Kwenu
APGA cannot mourn the exit of Mr Peter Obi with all these secret findings surrounding him.
1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.
2. His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London . This is the major cause of strain between Obi and his in-laws. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because he Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter.
3. Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor Ibim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.
4. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the circumstances surrounding his father's death which remains his best kept secret. Before then we can reveal that Obi's father was drowned to death by Obi's associates in the drug trade whom he short-changed in a business deal prompting the mafias to kill the old man whom they drowned bounded hands and feet with bricks round his neck.
5. Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state , ''Saint'' Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts)
6. Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (OOO) Cult sect where his wife is a known member. It is also on record that Peter Obi met the wife at a night club in Auchi . The lady had two children from two different men -an Albino and a Ghanaian. The affirmed Catholic is yet to wed his wife in the church.
7. Obi is yet to explain the mystery behind the 250 million naira that was found in the possession of his aides. He is yet to produce the contractor and publish the contractual agreement that stipulates that this very contractor will be paid in cash and also a reference to any other known precedents. Not even the famous late Barkin Zuwo of Kano State paid contractors in cash.
8. Obi should explain why he has continued to loot the resources of the state using his brother, Ndibe Obi, Ejike Onwusogbulu and a certain Chidi Agbapu -a Lagos based stock broker as a conduit for money laundering while the youths in Anambra remain unemployed;
9. Obi was elected governor on the platform of APGA and it is on record that he never convened an APGA meeting thereby destroying the entire party structure. Obi should explain to party faithfuls and loyalists why he destroyed the party;
10. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra what happened to the state local government allocations and why Anambra under Obi is the only state in Nigeria without elected local government officers in place? In view of the foregoing, we demand his immediate resignation or face further disclosure of his criminal past and present.
Edwin Chukwujekwu Chairman
Nonyelum Nwokoye Secretary
When I told you that the Igbo are cursed some people will think that I am lying. Just imagine what an Igbo man wrote against his own brother! Bunch of cursed fools! That's why nobody trusts us.
