Op, the indigenes of Lagos are to be blamed because they refused to join the party for fear of Tinubu and due to their close minded nature whereby they refuse to see good in anything political being led by Southeasterner.


They did it in 2023, many of them refused to join LP saying its a dead party, its an Igbo party, its 1p0b party, etc.


Prior to 2023 election, my uncle who was an Labour Party LGA Chairman kept begging some of the few Lagos indigenes that managed to join LP to please become their ward Chairmen and even polling unit agents, they all rejected saying they dont want wahala from their people, at the end, it was mostly people from Southeast, Southsouth and NorthCentral that agreed to take up those positions in Labor Party then, now who is to be blamed?


Now do you expect the party to go to their homes to force them and give them positions just to satisfy people like you?

Thanks for the explanation, I never really thought of it that way sha.

I can fully understand why "they don't want dere pipo wàhálà" when they take a step back from participating fully.

Thanks to Obidients, this is now happening that never did. During the times of Owelle's NPP, Adeniran Ogunsanya and other Yoruba people especially from Ikorodu played a prominent part in the party at all levels.

South is a sure banger for Obi ...I am just not comfortable with d north ...that's where more work need to be done

South East you meant is the sure banger. Nothing for him anywhere else, except maybe Delata North sha.

sweetjohn:
Truth be said if not for Obi nobody will even know Alex talkless of winning. Alex is a good guy just as Obi but he should be respectful and thankful to he who gave him the plateform to be voted in. If am him, I will desist in personal and physical political attacks. That’s why I love Obi, no matter the tantrums on him, he never attack back, he just keep doing his thing the way he knows best

Per the bolded text, fantastic words, shame Peter Obi didn't take them on board when Ikemba helped kick-start his own political career.

I'm a bit torn on this news when I saw it on my Google TL yesterday. On paper, he's an adult being inappropriate with a kid which is punishable by law. In reality, he's a kid himself who literally turned 21 yesterday (8th May) meaning a little over a year ago, he was still a teenager. I hope the law won't be too harsh on him .

Screenshots of the chats with the "minor". Pretty obvious that this was a covert operation but he wasn't smart enough to clock it

For me, non teenagers have no business interacting with teenagers in an inappropriate way.

At age 21, my dad already had two kids. This footballer type has no excuse and his damaging effect on the girl, I know it was a setup, would be no better (or worse) than a 30 or 40 year old.

LegendHero:
Because I get paid 30k more. So I hurt to see people doing my job just for 2k

You made me laugh really hard with this, thanks.

TheBreastSucker:
Anyone who has foreign citizenship should not be allowed to become president or governor of a state in Nigeria

I believe Peter Obi has a UK passport as well, carefully what you wish for.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Can we equally see empowerment schemes other Lagos house of reps members engaged in so we can see the ethnic distribution of the beneficiaries!? Or is it only Mr Onuakalusi you’re obsessed with!?

What i can deduce from the list, if correct, is that the constituency is overwhelmingly populated by Igbo! You can’t say this isn’t possible considering the way Tinubus’ NURWT thugs went about with microphone and cutlass…threatening Ndigbo in the last cycle of elections in the state!

Per the bolded, not at all. Maybe 15% at the most.

You might be confusing it with Ajeromi Ifelodun which encompasses Ajegunle, that might have up to 30% Igbo, I don't know.

I personally hope this disclosure doesn't end this man's career representing Oshodi Isọlọ in the next elections.

Kudos for Ndi Yoruba for being so welcoming sha, albeit some might say it is to their detriment.

Interesting, so this Kwankwaso guy seems to still have an eye on the Presidential ticket of NDC.

His body language at that NDC welcoming was off as he barely cracked a smile.

Didn't they say President Tinubu offered him VP, makes sense that he isn't exactly settling in for a Peter Obí VP candidacy yet.

What is going on in the brain of all these opposition people sef?

That explains a lot on Nairaland here if that is true.

You read some stuff Obidients type and you shake your head thinking, how can a human being reason like such?

Parachoko:
You don start your 2k job again this morning Princeoflagos

You promised to leave Nairaland if Asiwaju won, when will you keep to your word?

Anyone with shame would have at least continued with one of their many other monikers.

LagosOrigin attache by force to Yoruba can't even be principled to stand on his failed promise.

HacheNoire:
It’s interesting how the oppositions are decimating themselves 🤣😂🤣

Do these minions know election is next year?

The A-Force (Asiwaju Force) is really one to study, research and reckon with. It has thrown the opposition into chaos and pandemonium’s.

Per the text in bold, this one is what completely confounds me.

If those people are united, they have a chance, albeit slight, of defeating President Tinubu. No one seems to be going after him, every day they are backstabbing and throwing shade at each other. Every blessed day he wakes up, he is having go do less to win his second term, just sitting back and watching the blood letting, crazy stuff.

The slice of the pie for the opposition is small enough as it is, why cut it into smaller pieces I wonder.

I can't wait for President Tinubu's memoirs, should be interesting.

Diamond098454:
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obi won't try that nonsense of crossing over almost all the political parties in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬 again
NDC is his final bus stop

Maybe for these elections due to the new rules in place but he won't be in NDC by next elections.

Bad if done within a spate of months.

It shows a total lack of foresight or direction if you can't study the people or structure of the party you are heading to first.

It also makes you out to be an absolute clown when you are taking pictures with different party cards every so often.

For how much President's Buhari and Tinubu were too old and too entwined with the political class they were part of and couldn't make a change visible to the common man, the way they did their alliance to challenge a strong PDP is how it should be done.

For me, as long as he doesn't stand up to his Obidients, he would never be president of Nigeria.

He must stand up to them by telling them to stop the abuses, insults and curses. He must tell them straight that anyone that cannot tolerate dissenting voices, in the manner Obidients can't, should stop supporting him.

Or he can continue to let them stain his white cloth with their palm oil, by them continuing to constitute a nuisance on social media, and always come third.

Obasanjo was president, twice sef, despite Yoruba not supporting him so it's not a new concept.

bazoodo:
the only reason APC won the governorship in 2023 in Lagos was voter apathy from the obedients. If obi manages to win those guys would troop out for governorship

Wrong, people saw the voting patterns in the Presidential elections and realised they had been duped per certain tribes overwhelmingly voting for their sons while they had an open mind.

They then refused to let themselves be fooled twice and are patiently waiting for elections next year.

Melezenawii:
This is sooo interesting!!! I tot Obi is a saint 😳😳😳 they mobilized 50 people to court and pay them 2k each. Omooo

Organic no dey give shishi movement indeed.

See as small breeze jus blow fowl yansh open.

I like as dis Nafiu guy dey play di game, dey beta kwik settle am as dem settle Nwosu.

Nothing kúkú surprises me anymore in Naija politics, Atiku might just say, "screw this, I am off to NDC, there's some easy prey over there".

I think he wanted to be caught as the guy dyed his hair too. Surely you don't want to make yourself look distinct.

Thailand give death penalty to traffickers, Lord help him as a supplier.

Kalulu44:
Hmmmm..... And do you know irony of it all, anybody that comes after them will be worse according the pattern of our leaders over the years

Unless we stop voting career politicians from this very useless political class, you are right, worse leaders amongst them will turn up subsequently.

There is no ticket presently that will defeat President Tinubu without Atiku in it, none.

Anything else is wishful thinking

Antichristus:
The calls for Nigerians to return home from South Africa and Ghana should not only provoke anger or defensiveness.

Interesting that those latest calls came after Eze Ndigbo related noise.

That might be where we should at least start the introspection from.

DMerciful:
I'm not from East!

Obi will win the 2027 election like he won the 2023 but it'll not be rigged this time

Where can I find more information about his 2003 election win including exact figures on valid documents?

Without accepting you lost in 2023, you Obidients and Peter Obi wouldn't be able to do some introspection to correct your mistakes from then. This means you will make them again in 2027 and consequently lose.

OredoPikin:
😂😂
See yourself😂.
My reference of igbos is the entire SE.
My reference of SS is the entire SS which Edo is part of but somehow u said I didn't mention Benin 🤣

Did you even read your post I first responded to?

Check out the part I copied and pasted.

Like I said, stop conflating.

Mrexcell:
What does this shameless drunkard even know about ideology politics? A man that's in pdp while openly supporting the apc at the same time is lecturing obi how to play politics with ideology wonders shall never end in this nigeria.

Don't forget Peter Obí was still in LP while campaigning for ADC candidates on Anambra states.

Where was the ideology there?

OredoPikin:
🤣🤣
Is GEJ not from SS?
Is Edo not part of SS
We all call people from SE igbos and those from SW yorubas
Please is there any general name for SS
Let us know sir

Stop conflating na, I said nothing about naming.

Read my post again.

OredoPikin:
lolz
you all tagged GEJ igbo when he was president
so SS and Igbo are the same
igbos will support GEJ presidency 100% like they always do

Hmm, see Benin person that knows what Igbo will do, you haven't said what your own Benin people will do anywhere yet o.

Ọbowiẹ anyway.

OredoPikin:
Does tinubu u support have any principle?
Why are u not disappointed in supporting Tinubu?

I don't support President Tinubu.

Dissapointed in this guy, why would you be hopping from one party to another.

I thought he was principled as well, I guess Nigerian politics happened to him.

OredoPikin:
see, Olumide Akpata family is from Ovia and Ovia is closer to Ondo state
so it is possible one of his ancestors has a link to Ondo
even his grandfather name is Johnson Ogunleye Akpata.

but that nor be issue cos Edo na one whether u carry yoruba name like those in Akoko Edo or igbo names like those in Igbanke or northern names like those in far Edo north. we nor dey discriminate. i only replied that guy based on his comments that we dont tolerate other tribes.

We nor dey discriminate...

You dis guy, dey do attache by force.

CharlotteFlair:
Peter Obi will win Lagos again and again!

Not that I care but when he loses that too, una go dey cry rigging again.

Akpakomiza2:
OBI
Anambra
Enugu
Imo

Katsina

You guys need to remove Ẹdo from Peter Obí completely, it would not happen.

FuglyGurl:
Peter Obi / Kwankwaso


SOUTH SOUTH

Akwa Ibom
Bayelsa
Cross River

Peter Obi cannot even get 5% of total votes cast in Edo state.

This is delusion of the highest order on your part.
