Hahahaha...Chatinet, it's not personal. Call a spade, spade...irrespective of your affinal ties.😁 I expect you of all people to know better.

How will a religious/tribal big.ot know better? They know what they are doing.

I can't imagine a normal humanbeing insult Tinubu and praise Obi.

If you ask them to compare Lagos and Anambra they'll say Lagos is a formal capital blah, blah. Abuja is the present capital and it's Tinubu and Wike that are repositioning Abuja to make it look like Lagos. How many presidents have Nigeria had that lived in Aso Rock? How many ministers has Abuja had? They knew what they are doing. That's why they talk down on the infrastructures the present administration has embarked on, they talk down on nelfund, water down foreign reserve. Talk down on GPD growth.

You know why?

Obi doesn't have any legacy whatsoever.

They know what they are doing. Only people that don't understand their agenda I pity.

EmperorIsaac:
Your only problem is Igbo Presidency, I understand. But a spade must be called spade.

There Igbo presiden.cy is now in the m.ud. It goes nowhere

KanwuliaExtra:
Oh?

Obi will be dis.grace.d until he knows his place

chatinent:
But you and your god Tinubu doesn't even have depth. It is all void, corruption and incompetence.

Have a nice century.

Read the article with facts and date and debunk it and don't come here to gaslight anybody. Nigeria don get sense pass Una gaslighting.

Obi has moved on to praising China and EU. He realized Singapore is no more working.

His people used to praise Venezuela but they have left Venezuela since their god kidnap Venezuela president.

KanwuliaExtra:

Tinubu failed in EVERYTHING in his life.🤮

Obi failed in Anambra for good 8 years. Una manage am and you want him to come and fail the whole Nigeria for 8 years. Read this Atiku again and tell me Tinubu is a failure.

On Monday, February 10, 2025, and several times afterwards, Mr. Peter Obi praised the Indonesian economy as a model for Nigeria and severely criticised His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu's handling of the Nigerian economy.

Since that time, and as reported by several financial and economic publications, including the Financial Times and the Spectator Index, the Indonesian Rupiah has depreciated heavily against the US Dollar, losing almost 20% of its value, and going from Rp 16,173 to $1 in February of 2025, to Rp 18,063 to $1 today, Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

Additionally, the Indonesian Rupiah was officially rated as Asia's "worst performing major currency" by Bloomberg, after it sank to a record low, forcing the Indonesian Central Bank to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to stop the free fall of its currency.

Furthermore, Indonesia has experienced a quarter-on-quarter GDP contraction of -0.77% in the first quarter of 2026.

In contrast, the Nigerian economy under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, has experienced twelve uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses.

Added to this is the fact that the Nigerian Naira, which traded against the US Dollar at ₦1,565 to $1 on Monday, February 10, 2025, when Peter Obi criticised Nigeria and praised Indonesia, has increased in value by 12.1% and now averages ₦1,365 today.

The Naira was also listed by FXTM as the second-best-performing currency in Africa for the first quarter of 2026, trailing only the Zambian kwacha.

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025.

This is even as Anna Bjerde, the World Bank's Managing Director of Operations, said that "Nigeria is now frequently cited globally as an example of steady, credible reform leadership."

This comes as Nigeria's economy has grown by $67 billion in two years, rising from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion after the economy was rebased last year.

So, my question to Mr. Peter Obi is this: Sir, do you still insist that Nigeria emulate the Indonesian economy?

This is not an attack on the Republic of Indonesia, a great and proud nation, with which the Federal Republic of Nigeria enjoys an excellent relationship. The purpose of this is simply to inform Nigerians of the true state of their economy vis-à-vis what was said by Mr Peter Obi, a Presidential candidate in Nigeria, so that they can make a factual and honest assessment of Nigeria's economic well-being.

Well, for Adamawa, he has a good chance.
Not the best chance, but a good one.

Better than NDC I will say.

But if you are in Abuja, or anywhere in the South, don't waste your money on this party.
Go for NDC.
Even if you don't know how to spell Nigeria, on the wings of Peter Obi, you will win.
The same way it happened in the North with Buhari.

When it comes to Obi we can fling competence out of the window.

Why the unnecessary hiking of petrol price since May 2023 instead of the promised crash by Tinubu?

How much was petrol three years ago and how much is it now

Una go cry tire. Subsidy is gone. If your candidate comes in and didn't remove subsidy the way the present administration did then he failed from the day one.

About the transport fare. The Lagos Monday Morning Rush is just like the way every festive period rush. People pay high in Lagos because the transporters knows everybody is going somewhere.

anonimi:
How many months after PDP removed telecom subsidies and deregulated the market, before the price of services crashed

Why has Tinubu failed to deliver on his promise to crash petrol price three years ago?

Prices were crashing before your white gold Donald Trump attacked Iran. If not for that war that many of you Obidients ig.nor.antly support. We would have gone far in stabilizing our economy.

yarimo:
humble to your far away junior in politics

Chucks13:
Dem neva sabi anything dem think say Naija politics ma child play.

Imagine NDC dreaming to rule Nigeria anytime I see dem talking and dreaming here I alway laughed.

They are crying because people are not handing over their local politics to them.

I just love my people for the self respect.

How will you leave Imo or Edo to go and contest local elections in far a ay Abuja or Lagos because we are in one Nigeria. And you start crying for losing such election. Like WTF do they expect? They want to use the LP pattern they casted for themselves by themselves.

BlackMenDumb:
You have comprehension issues.

You think everything is content?

So the bandits that kidnapped people then come online on tiktok to share money are also content creators?

Kai.. kids of 2005 just full nairaland these days.

So the bandits that kidnap for ransom are jihadist? Like what makes you think they know the first thing about Islam? Grow sen.se. I'm a Christian by the way. In fact I'm not religious just born Christian.

Make Una go handle Una NDC internal matter.

Thank God y'all not blaming Tinubu again.

Aisha supposed slap Dickson and Peter Obi instead wey she de make noise.

nothingspoil70:
The whole wide world is a big conspiracy against an average igbo man.

Why?

Because the world evolve around them

TemplarLandry:
Y'all keep falling for the bait... The snub was a publicity stunt to market the movie.

I really don't understand why Obi behaves the way he does. You are not a government official, you don't have any hospital, you don't produce meds, you don't have NGO that does research on meds. So what's the meeting about? We have a sitting president and you keep doing this provocative stuffs. As who? His followers knows what he's doing is wrong, they would have called him out if he was another person. But they keep sharing him on. I've never seen this kind of insensitivity in my life. It would have been understandable if this was Atiku who was vice president for 8 years. A private citizen holding meetings on behalf of government. I really don't understand Oloun.

I don't like this VDM guys face. Too childish for my liking.

VDM is a content creator. What he does is to creat content for engagement.

Read that again.

Rice & Beans.
Jollof rice and beans in particular. Any accompaniment is extra.

I can eat this dish almost every day, and I'm sure I wouldn't get fed up with it.

What is that one dish you can eat without getting tired of?

Happy weekend, foodies.

Me too .. I can eat jollof rice and beans 9 days in a week.

MadPolitician:
It is about time igbos as a group rise up in unison and call for the sack of that senile loudmouth.
He has done enough damage..

As na Una employ am. Don't change your evil ways o. Continue blaming those bring your dark evil to light hoping it will go away.

Nigerians will eventually appreciate the man. The end always justify the means.

franchasng:
If only God will open the eyes of Nigerians to see what God plans to do for Nigeria through Peter Obi, every Nigerian will lay down their lives to ensure Peter Obi becomes Nigeria's President.



I fear we will ever have someone like Peter Obi again in the next 50 to 100 years to come if we miss electing him President.


Sometimes I feel like crying for Nigeria why tribalism and iberiberism have closed our eyes from seeing beyond and doing things that will help this nation progress

Obi's only legacy is Akwanzu SARS.

yarimo:
Any party that wants to be in disarray should invite kwankwaso or peter obi, Dickson made a big mistake accepting the two together

NDC is a business venture for Dickson that's why every meeting happens in his parlour. You buy ticket in his parlour and send money to his Opay. Kwakwanso didn't buy ticket but Obi did.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Obi is desperate to see Nigeria work.A politician running on Muslim Muslim ticket to win election is the real form of desperation

Only mistake Obi made in his life was forgetting to make Anambra work

Don't mind Obi, he wants to run away from contesting the election. Won't work.

Obi must contest. Must!!!
He already won the primary. It's a must that he contest and come third again.

Obi or Tinubu continue abi no be so?

PlasmaTV:
See you people wanking off up there.
They just kidnapped Adelabu's kin in Ibadan
Continue lamenting about Obi instead of channeling your frustration to pressing matters.

Obi must contest in 2027. MUST!!!

PlasmaTV:
Bayo onanuga is a tribalistic, a rabble rouser, and an old fewl.

How's he a tribalists? He's from Oyo state and he's telling you facts as insider must you attack everything that moves? Are you an attack doggy?

I'm not comparing MNK with no one. I'm talking about how arrogance and stubbornness can send even an innocent person to jail while a real criminal walk free.

Ttalk:
What is on gound is beyond showing remorse. MNK fought for a just cause, his approach maybe barbaric but the current event makes him an angel.

MNK and IPOB didn't do 1% of what jihadist has done to the Nigerian people.

This is the time when Nigerians should have a genuine conversation or remain docile and continue to endure terrorism.

I have heard people argue why Nnamdi Kanu should be freed just the way Boko Haram are being pardoned while they are nicknamed "Repentant Terrorists" some argue if there's anything like repentant terrorist but in the face of law indeed there are repentant criminal.

I'm not a lawyer and don't know jack about the law but from movies I have seen and from what I've seen in reality. If you plead guilty in the court of law and show remorse you'll get a lesser sentence. If after conviction you show some sort of repentance you'll come out early or even get a pardon but in the case of Kanu.

MNK showed arrogance all through his trial. Firing his lawyers, cursing and insulting judges. Those are not showing of remorse or repentance. Even if today the president wants to pardon him. They'll go through his files and check if he has shown good behaviour in prison, if he's living like someone that's remorseful of what he has done. But MNK's case to me isn't ready for pardon or anything like it. There are chances he wouldn't have gone to prison with the way Ndi Igbo stood up for him. He asked that the judge handling his case be changed, they did it for him. Only for him to start throwing tantrums, insulting and cursing the new one. Telling a judge they don't know the law.

I think the next move for him will be to start showing remorse. He needs to understand that he can't do it alone and he doesn't even have loyal people around him. Everybody doing it for gains. He's a lone voice. And even his own fight is on the line of argument of whether or not it's genuine or whether or not it will bring result.

Ojukwu made the same mistake and whether or not anybody agrees Ojukwu didn't end it well or follow it up well enough. I saw a video of Ojukwu pleading with arrogance while he should be allowed back to Nigeria under the Nigerian military constitution. I mean the same military you fought with for 3 years, killing millions of people for a cause you dump and ran away.

Came back to start contesting elections.

Never for once apologized to his people instead, he was dishing out propaganda, how Nigeria is the problem and how people like Awolowo are the enemy. The healing of Igbo people for me will start from those kind of change. They'll start from those kind of steps to reorientate the people that are just growing up to know that Nigeria as a state is not the enemy and if there's any change the people need those kind of change through alignment, negotiation. Coming together to forge ahead. Not through threat, bullying and show of force or terrorism.

The North understand Nigeria and it's law almost the way the SW does. That's why a Boko Haram or bandit will first plead guilty and then even if it's fake they will show remorse. You'll argue it's because they are illiterates but it works for them. They know how to use the law to their favour. The SE needs to learn this as well, no one should claim they are trying to do right because everybody is doing right in their own way.

National distress yes. But why is the FG still giving states governors security votes if they don't control any security apparatus? I mean las las, they'll still call on the president when insecurity arise. So why pay them extra to secure their states if they won't secure their states?
