This Igbokwe na one sharp guy. He doesn't fight a lost battle unlike many Igbos do.

He uses his head, he's more realistic than sentimental.

Anyone that hopes or believes Peter Obi can be president in this current Nigeria of today is either clueless or very unintelligent.

Mention one strong Northern Politician that has been enthusiastically supporting Peter Obi. On the other hand, check out the several Northern big politicians following Tinubu.


Kwankwaso has told you the truth that Northerners cannot vote Obi and every sensible Nigerian knows that.

Igbos need to learn wisdom and strategy. Everything is not Chestbeating! Tinubu had an ambition but the wise man supported Buhari a Northerner first, so as to pave way for him when it's his turn.

If you Igbos don't drop your useless Ego, form strategic alliances, you guys might NEVER have an Igbo become president!

Power is expected to return to the South, instead of you and your useless Leaders to strike a deal with Tinubu/APC. Support them now and you guys will produce a president when power returns to the South.

The Alternative you guys have, which I feel will most likely be the case due to your political cluelessness and Chestbeating is that you will continue to hate and abuse Tinubu. Without your 5% support, Tinubu will still become president.

A Northerner becomes president after 8 years

A SouthSoutherner becomes president for another 8 years.

A Northerner again

A Yoruba Man again and it continues like that till you guys decide to have sense!

Politic of Sentiment and believing in political big wigs….Nigeria remains underdeveloped…We are still fighting region to become President…Only God knows the direction that this entity is heading to…Let keep supporting bad leaders…all these will end February…whoever, force himself in will be faced with more peculiar task hitting the country…the economy, insecurity, it is just many..,Nigeria youths need to engage themselves actively and make the future the desire and shun ethnic and religious sentiment…it will keep us where we are today…,Being a youth…I am not bothered…I am US citizen…my two girls are US citizens…I only work 3 days in a week and I have what I need to support my family…I am saving for my 2 girl…they each have a brokerage account that I manage…We have steady power supply…I drive one car and my wife drive one car…I go to the doctor twice a year for my preventive care…and many more good things…US is not a perfect place but somehow…people work together to resolve issues…that is the kind of Nigeria I dream about….and believe me…these old politician doesn’t have what it takes to take us there…we discovered Oil ten years after UAE…then check the difference…which of their leaders are coming to Abuja to live…but Atiku and all other politicians kept traveling abroad for medical tourism and that…if Ekweremadu believe in our medical facilities…or develop it….he wouldn’t have been in jail in foreign land

Mrmb:
You people don't even think before you post, you just sit ain front of keyboard and tyoe all sorts of whacky words. As a chieftain of a party, is it not bound on you to work for the good and prosperity if the party?
Should he have worked fir your Etiku?
And if you remember, he once supperted Etiku as a presidential candidaye of ACN but he lost, what else should the man do to please you people?
Remember most of you saying all dirty things are earning your livings in lagos state. JAGABAN'S lagos ooo... Why didn't you go back to your various hometowns to earn a living, Na sapa go finish you because your people no dey do anything for you. Obi cubana a billionaire went to bury his mother in the village, the road that led to his hometown is nothing to write home about, what are your governors doing with their allocations?

Sometimes people sense of comparison baffles me…How could you compare Lagos and Obi Cubana village when it comes to road network…

There are villages in Yoruba land…you could have compare Obi Cubana village with Tinubu village in asset density and Road network…and then check the road…it is called comparing Apple with Apple…

Besides Lagos is a cumulative of years of federal government development…Lagos development doesn’t start in 1999…Lagos used to be the seat of Nigeria power before relocation to Abuja in the 90s…Lagos commercial strength is also boosted by its nearness to the Atlantic Ocean…So Tinubu did not built Lagos…You should talk about his village…

Helpfromabove1:
I don't like Tinubu but this seem to be very true except something changes the Present factors

PDP is not getting his house in order

Obi and kwakwaso merger failed

Certainly the SE and social media youths (that can not face the violence of Tinubu boys , one agbero will just break bottle and many of these obi-dient guys will japa

Kwakwaso and obi surely can not match jagaban's vault

And many more present realities

I wish it was Osibanjo vs obi then anyone that win will be ok by me

If nothing change, just like Ekiti election Tinubu will win before 12 mid day

So Tinubu Agbero extend to all the 36 States..,He will have his Agbero in every polling unit…chasing people away…this is not Lagos politics where he has such illicit clout…Talk about Tinubu in SW….however, in SE, SS, and NC…Tinubu got no chances…up in core North…we really don’t know what the Tinubu political Sentiment will be…but being realistic…The core North will surely queue behind the lesser evil in their Atiku…

You guys said that Tinubu is a political genius…and all that Jagaban nonsense…Let watch how he will maneuver the burning issue of Muslim-Muslim/Muslim-Christian ticket…

No matter you tribe, religion, ethnic or whatever you believe…we should just pray for our country…I know when I was growing up…My father does business in the North…Close to Jos…people lives in relative peace…as a small boy…I can’t wait for the next holiday because I wanted to go North…lots of food…Guy…these people are great farmers…they are just good at it…they question I kept asking myself was…what went wrong…Nigeria is a great Country…I live in California and we barely see rain here but people produce a lot even in the absent of rain…Why can’t we engage in A Nigeria Project that will ensure productivity…I knew when Dollar is 22 naira…what went wrong…

It is not all about the presidency…we need to be mindful of people that manage the economy…no nation in the world is completely free from Corruption…but corruption is basically subtle and hard to detect and the impact not really that much…however, in Nigeria that is not the case…Someone…was just saying how they government was saying that they distributed over 300 million Abacha loot to millions of Nigerians…but that statement can’t be proofed….Why would you share such amount of money to people…why not invest it in at least Agriculture…or other sector and create job…

I might be ranting, or venting online…but the point…for politician to continue giving us below average services…they will always resort to division through Religion, ethnic and tribal sentiment…they won’t make their argument to be about issues that ordinary Nigerians can relate to..,

Economic growth…Job creation…Provision of Security…etc…

Why earmarking 5 trillion tax payers fund to electioneering…

Teenaira:
Why the prayer again. I thought you people said everybody in Nigeria is routing for Saint Peter Obi the peculiar liar.

Because in politics…you need to be greedy…Obidient movement want a landslide victory not by a million vote margin..,so by 12 noon Election Day…Obi will be declare the winner…

Esama:
You igbo like fooling yourself particular you peter obi. Some of you can't even make a point without seek for validation for we south south.

Peter obi isn't a politician but a criminal minded person. Dude shouldn't come here to ranting .

Work on your grammar and punctuation…

Ebi2233:
The North will punish Tinubu for being stubborn.
He will only win South West


South South will vote who gave them Vice President


South East will most likely vote Peter Obi.

Middle Belt a Christian Region can never vote another Muslim


Fulani of North West can never leave Fulani and vote Tinubu


And North East is Atiku home.

You are not getting it…

Tinubu will win South West

Atiku will win North East and North West

Obi will win South East and South South

Then North Central will be shared between Obi and Atiku

You are still in a very deep dream…and happen to write sleep walking…e go clear you…

TooNoisy:
Keep deceiving yourselves. Peter Obi will not get 25% in any northern state. He is unknown over there.

He is not known in Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo. No chance of him getting 25% in these SW states.

He wouldn't get 25% in Edo and Delta for sure. Oshiomole/Obaseki will secure Edo for APC/PDP. Okowa will secure Delta for PDP as he is on the ballot.

Obi cannot win any South South State. Udom will secure Akwa Ibom for PDP. Duoye Diri will do same in Bayelsa. Wike will probably join APC or at least remain in PDP. Cross Rivers will be split between 3 parties.

E go shock you…you are still in the wonderland

festacman:
In Nigeria, the victory at the presidential polls is sum total of the effort of local political heavyweights in their wards and constituencies. That's structure. Does Labour Party or Peter Obi Campaign Organization has local political influencers all over Nigeria? Even the negative tendency of vote buying still require structure to accomplish.

Another major challenge facing Peter Obi is that he is the sole financier of his presidential bid. And presidential campaign sure requires massive funding with substantial leakages caused by people who would collect money without doing assigned task. Can Peter Obi open up his wallet wide when winning is not 100%?

E go shock you.,,only here in the US…you know how many cell group…working tirelessly…getting people together..,I have seen about 5 different individual from different group asking me to join their Peter Obi group…all Peter Obi…and they are pouring their time and money…

People are serious and I think it is not business as usual..,

No option for peace…tell and let the Vawulence continue…

I beg you in the name of God please help us, no matter how little to buy food and drinking water. We have been starving and cannot afford real food for days now. I am kneeling before you pleading to your kind heart , please help us with any amount' please. 08 07 34 48 26 access . I pray as you extend a hand to us may you never lack anything in life.

please brothers and sisters I am still on my knees pleading, someone please help me.

This is what greedy old politicians has turn Nigerians into….hardworking people willing to work…but where is the work…they are stealing the country dry instead of bring in Positive investment….it is really pathetic…dreadful and pitiful…

CYBERSOLDIERSre:
All the states where the masses are hungry because of APC and PDP.

Just as Tinubu won’t win any SE States and SS states…So now the tussle will be in North and I know he won’t win NC States…

They Odds are more in favor of Obi and Atiku…because Atiku will floor Tinubu in NE and NW…

At least, Obi is sure of SS and SE…He will share vote with Atiku In NC…where I think Obi will out perform him….

So…in summary, this election will end up being between OBI and Atiku…because there are lots playing against Tinubu…Going with Muslim/Muslim will offend most Christians and then going with Muslim/Christian…is more perilous because the North will abandon him…

Boy…I hope he will show us now the over rated political ingenuity that you guys talk about a lot..being a corrupt politician doesn’t make one a genius…

wolesmile:
I read "Large turnout," and I scrolled to the picture expecting to see a massive crowd. If this is the OP's definition of large turnout, then how many of them were having the meeting before now?

Truth be told, Nigeria is not practising a multi-party system. We have just 2 parties. PDP and APC. Others, like in India with more than 200 political parties, are just regional parties. Peter Obi, unfortunately, cannot win with the Labour Party. He won't even get 5% of the total votes cast, mark my words. Believe me, the contest is between Tinubu and Atiku. Or better still, between APC and PDP (because we don't know what might happen to either of them before election day)

There is a saying “What an elder sit down to see, even if a child uses Delta air fly in the mid heavens, the child will not see it”
Now decide if you are the elder or the child! Choose wisely while you are at it..,

Bravetunde:
Ever since I started dating a Yoruba girl I reframe from commenting as nigerians are too tribalistic and is like we all are in a battle field.
If nigeria is a sane country,the likes of obi,femi adeshina the formal gej agric minister should be begged to rule Nigeria.
But what is my own,I already found means to be making good money and a Yoruba Christian girl with big yeansh.
If una like vote obi,but my own is online begging must stop once obi fails.
We can't be voting trashhh like theivenubu and later disturbing people online you have not eaten.

This is the only post I have quoted in a long time…people will because of tribe..,choose a crook in the form of a leader and expect magic to happen…I promise myself…anyone begging online for anything..,am not giving a dime…people need to work up..,how is it normal to monetize the electoral process through give and take…and expect the country to move forward…we only know about the money given to delegates…what about other subtle bribes going on among the political class…in the alignment and realignment and permutation…all these are promising ministries… positions, to crooks…inexperience people who can’t move this country forward..,each day, I cry for this great nation called Nigeria….because all these old politicians have nothing to offer you or your next generation to come….the economy of our nation is in worst position and the world economy is in bad shape….hence, we need vibrate leaders in all position of government to try and change status quo….not only the presidency but they legislature:

Here in the USA, it is not perfect…we have our own share of problems…but electioneering is about burning issues and a party or a candidate who can tackle those issues…but here in Nigeria, it is all about mediocrity, we always settle for less, because we imbibe by the principle of tribal and religious sentiment:

These Northerners think we are fools…how did they reverse course after PDP primaries and started shouting for Southern Presidency…

They do not want 2 Presidential contenders from North…that will cause vote split…they want all that to concentrate in the South…with Obi gathering momentum and probably Tinubu or any other from South on the Ballot…it will be an easy sailing for Atiku…Northerners don’t play with power…it is to them Crude oil…

Clown of the century…

That is their family problem…as a family in Nigeria we have a different problem…which is bad government caused by them

Ukraine put themselves in the position…after the break of USSR…Ukraine was more powerful than Russia and hold more Nuke from the USSR than Russia…however, over the years, Russia has tricked them into believing that they are better off siding with them than facing EU or West…They send all their nuke to Russia…why Russia is building their Military…over the years…being a formidable power…they depends Russia…

It is heartbreaking that the West can protect them…At least when Russia and was building up at their boarder….they West refused to send them Weapons…at least to have a fighting chance…

This is another Bay of Pigs….

Gala…Oshodi Flyover

Like they really arrested him for Tyre….Nigeria is really a funny place…is that the law…

In Civil Society….If a cop notice that your tyre is not good…They will give you a notice to go and fix it and return back to any High WAy Patrol office for confirmation..,,

Rule one:Never visit a girl in her house

That is the golden rule

It is called attorney fee...

Nigeria my country...You need permit for almost everything...

Stop being cranky...it is called freedom of speech and being a naturalized citizen doesn’t restrict that right...

A society where citizens can’t critize the government is short of the principle of democratic society and degraded the intrinsic right and dignity of human nature...enjoy your enslave clan...

Liberalism will be the end of the United States. Lopez wasn't really joking as he has been a strong antagonist of Trump, more importantly on Trump's immigration policy.

Most of those who criticize Trump or have issues with his immigration stance and beliefs were never Americans by birth but bloody migrants who moved, got comfortable and felt they could dictate how a government should or should not contain outsiders.

Bloody Omar is one. The same applies to refugees who get accepted, only to start calling for religious laws not enshrined in the constitution.

please guys pardon me some minutes. I got admitted in 2016 to study optometry which is a 6yrs course and an award of doctor of optometry , but my initial dream was to go for medicine and surgery but i didn't make a real high score im jamb to secure my chances so i had to do a change of course to optometry to be on the safe side of getting admitted..

Initially had no passion for the discipline but with time i started loving it up till my current 4th year now..

recently started having these sleepless night like a regurgitation of me going back to my dream course of medicine, even in class I don't concentrate anymore, all that comes to my mind is going back to medicine cos i feel thats what i really need to make me whole.

I need some advice.. should i leave my 3yrs+ spent already and go back to study medicine or wait till i graduate by 2022 which i will be probably be 25 before making a move?


please guys just some advice, no insults please... thanks

3 years in college and you can not construct a formal and academic level English....very pathetic...
