Aside switching off IREV what else do you have up your sleeve. In a free and fair election where everything will be transmitted in real time then you know you guys are losers.

You realise that as a Cloud server, no one can switch off IREV, anyone that Pauses it will be listed in the audit log of the server. Why didn't Peter Obí seek to subpeona the audit log if the server was Paused.

Election is only free and fair if your candidate wins àbi. Bia, rest!

MadamVanessa:
Bro go to Ibadan and see things for yourself

If it is that bad, why are your people there having run away from your wonderful haven?

Your people are not just there, they are birthing kids there as are their own kids.

Like every single city in the world, there are prosperous and not so prosperous areas.

Streetinvestor2:
Obi was too gentle in last election because he trusted the judiciary. If he had just said a word. The whole place for scatter. This time will be different. No inec official will even mention glitch at polling units if life dey sweet em

Which whole place for scatter, The Army would have used all you Obidients for target practice.

He trusted the judiciary when he was winning but as soon as he loses, you want him to scatter the place àbi?

He didn't even claim in court that he won the elections so under what auspices is he going to encourage you Obidients to scatter anything?

MrSly:
Tinubu us unintelligent. He could not use any other means but this and luring governors without corrupt file with cash and other benefits

President Tinubu is unintelligent yet he is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as leader of a party effectively controlling the country with a useless opposition. Yet you that obviously can tell intelligence are on Nairaland making wild allegations against him without an iota of proof.

What a country, Obidients, what a people!

correctguy101:
See dem these ones...

I suspect there are APC undercover members causing problems just like what's going on with the PDP.

They are actually original pre-Peter Obí invasion LP members that want their party back after it was hijacked by Obí and his Obidients.

Ikpeyi:
Each geopolitical zone well represented. I love the unity. Atiku and Obi must continue working together to remove this insensitive and inhuman Yoruba government from power.

Of course each zone is represented, in anything in Nigeria, good or bad, that is always true.

They are not united sha, all of them are looking for what more they can eat after being chased away from PDP by Wike. Atiku will open his wallet and they want to be there when that happens.

They are all hanging on Atiku being Presidential candidate apart from Peter Obi who got over 6 million votes than him last time and doesn't see why he should be his deputy this time out.

Useless former PDP people who destroyed the Nigerian economy and now want to return to finish it off totally.

MadamVanessa:
Does that change the fact that Igbos are not the target. Are Igbos businesses in Lagos not being destroyed? Are their houses not being mapped out for destruction everyday.

So you want Ndigbo illegality in Lagos to not be corrected because they are Ndigbo? Other people whose buildings are put through the same process should accept it but Ndigbo should be treated differently.

Of course, Ndigbo businesses that follow the rules and are not being disturbed are the fools àbi, they should bypass laws like their flow tribesmen.

Soon you will be saying Ndigbo drug dealers in India are being targeted.

Bikonu allow shame catch you small.

Kooyepeju01:
Dear Nairaland,pls do more in control hateful comments, otherwise we would help shut this channel down. Your bot or admin should be wise enough taking down many of hate speeches on this platform. It's becoming too extreme seeing many participants turning this beautiful page into terrorists platform. We can make our comments without insulting or laying curses on others just because they didn't agreed with our views. We're continue to see the negative fruits of hate speeches all over the world, there are so many instances. Imagine so much of abuse and insults against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on your page from the followers of the loser of 2023 elections., as if there wouldn't be another in the nearest future.

Pls do something before too late !

It is too late, Obidients have turned this place into a mess and thankfully there are a few standing up to them and their abusive nature.

The block button and moderator bot were brought in to reduce the visibility of Obidients bad behaviour but that is not a solution.

I guess Peter Obi would continue to generate traffic here as even though he can speak about anything, Obidients with their multiple monikers would attack anyone that dares question him.

Thank God he didn't win the last elections, can you imagine the state apparatus in the hands of him and his followers?

Thank God that you will never see me doing such, I normally used to reject souvenirs outright, then I was told it was rude and then starred leaving them at the table.

Hopefully no one was injured in the stampede.

APOPTOSIS:
Meaning you support them doing the crime and concealing it??
Meaning you would do the same if the opportunity presents itself but you will lie low
Whether low or high profile, the idiotttttts should be picked.

Wrong on both counts, I don't support them, however I know it is easier for themto be caught if they are making noise all over the place. That cannot translate to me wanting them to do the crime and conceal it.

I will never do the same, amongst my work colleagues and circle of friends, I am known to only want what I have earnt. I don't need other people's money, the little I have worked hard for is enough for me.

I didn't take a penny out of my parents inheritance for starters even though my share could have improved my life.

So please read and understand, don't read and wildly misinterpret, ok?

I would say it is between 97 and 99 percent.

100% of them that are useless are also the most entitled always claiming oldest son yet not backing it up with anything.

Our own na him holy pas, he bí elder for church now, if not for God ministering into me, I for don go tell him Pastor di kain persin wey he bí.

They are asleep when people are working.

Not just that, properties accumulated as a result of the nefarious activities should be seized by the authorities.

On top of that, anyone that was aware of the crone bring committed should also be convicted as an accessory to the crime and see jail time.

Further, all those that benefitted from it, be they friends, family, girlfriends should have ALL their properties seized too, whether or not they was accrued by their relationship to the yahoo individual.

The government needs to make these people an outcast endangered species sooner rather than later.

They are easily luring younger ones into it which is a terrible crime in my eyes.

The problem with these types is when they should be keeping a low profile, that is when you see and hear them all over the place making it easier for the authorities to compile the case against them.

DomPerignon:
Look at what this one is posting for God's sake!

When the killings started you all said it was Fulani, DSS and Asari boys.

When the police and army arrested or neutralised these criminals , your type will come on SM saying the security operatives are killing and arresting innocent Biafran youth.

If I was the President, I will withdraw every single Security men from the SE, so that you can enjoy your elevated criminals whom you all claim are fighting for Biafra.

I will allow these criminals to totally overrun your SE and claim that the FG can't do anything more since these terrorists are your freedom fighters and are sheltered and supported by you people.

Entire communities in SE who once welcomed these criminals have been abandoned after these criminals tuned and pounced on them.

I just wonder if these Biafra terrorists could do this to their own in the name of liberating them from Nigeria, what then will be the fate of SS people who they claim is part of their useless Biafra.

Great post again sir.

Per your withdrawing security from aligbo, all that would happen would be Ndigbo pouring into the rest of the country enmasse and then inevitably, tensions will rise as a result which is not a good thing.

This is the kind of mayhem typical of "unelected, let me protect and fight for you" types and happens all over the world.

Igboho would have done the same in Ala Yoruba, thank God Ndi Yoruba are a little bit smarter and they ensured he and his band of jokers didn't see the light of day per their brand of protectionism.

How very sad to read the original post, Ohamdike gave these cowards guns and they then turn them round to use to feed fat on the people after he himself ran away. In a sense, you can't blame them totally as once they had these guns in their possession, they were never going to relinquish them to find work and be useful to their communities.

We all need to be careful what we wish for as all these things do not portend well for the Republic of Biafra at all.

Akinpedia:
The countdown to the 2027 Presidential Election has officially begun, and the political atmosphere is thick with the scent of a brewing battle. The central, unavoidable question is simple, yet revolutionary:

Who can Dethrone the Jagaban?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an institution—a political force whose dominance has shaped the South-West and national politics for decades. But for the first time in his tenure, the 'Renewed Hope' agenda is being severely tested by skyrocketing inflation, security crises, and a frustrated populace seeking immediate relief.

The opposition sees blood in the water. From Atiku to Obi to emerging dark horses, a new coalition is actively trying to consolidate its power and present a united front. Join us as we conduct an early, no-holds-barred analysis of the political calculus: assessing the incumbent's shield, the challenger's sword, and the unpredictable variables that will determine Nigeria's leadership in 2027.

Incumbent's Vulnerabilities and Strengths

President Bola Tinubu holds a notably strong and influential position as he heads into the 2027 political landscape, primarily due to the continued dominance of the APC party and the significant policy gains achieved under his leadership. However, despite these strengths, ongoing economic challenges and persistent security gaps present substantial risks that could undermine his administration’s stability and public support moving forward.

Strengths

- The APC currently controls the majority of states across the country and benefits from support that spans multiple political parties, including endorsements from governors representing various regions. This strong position is further reinforced by a significant number of defections from opposing parties as well as influential endorsements coming from the Southwest region, both of which have considerably boosted the party’s standing and prospects. These combined factors have played a crucial role in enhancing the party’s influence and political reach nationwide.​

- Economic reforms such as the implementation of unified exchange rates, a significant increase in non-oil revenues, and the reduction of the fiscal deficit from 5.4% to 3.0% of GDP in 2024 clearly demonstrate substantial and tangible progress. These measures highlight the government's commitment to strengthening the economy and improving fiscal stability, reflecting a positive trajectory for future growth and development.​

- Strong and enthusiastic regional backing from Southwest governors and influential leaders, combined with a powerful nationwide mobilization effort that emphasizes critical infrastructure developments and enhanced security improvements across various sectors.​

- Incumbency advantages, which include strong ministerial roles and well-established party structures, firmly position him as the clear frontrunner according to many political analysts and experts. These factors contribute significantly to his leading status in the race, making him the most favored candidate to win the upcoming 2027 election, as noted by observers closely following the political landscape.​

Vulnerabilities

- Persistent inflation soaring beyond 23%, the sharp devaluation of the Naira to an alarming rate of N1,510 per dollar, and the complete removal of subsidies have collectively intensified a severe and widespread cost-of-living crisis affecting millions. ​

- Since the beginning of 2023, there have been over 10,217 reported deaths resulting from attacks carried out by various armed groups, which seriously undermine any official claims of improved security. Despite governmental assurances, incidents of banditry and kidnappings continue to occur frequently, highlighting the ongoing challenges to safety and stability in the region.​

- Multidimensional poverty, impacting more than 133 million people, alongside a sharp surge in unemployment rates, continues to significantly weaken public trust in the government and its economic policies. These pressing issues have created a challenging environment for many citizens who are struggling to meet their basic needs and secure stable employment. The widespread economic hardships have led to increased skepticism and diminished confidence in the government's ability to effectively manage the nation's economic performance and improve living conditions. ​

- The internal culture of imposing decisions within the APC, combined with the disorganized opposition, has drawn significant critiques that have the potential to seriously undermine the cohesion of the party's base. These critiques highlight ongoing tensions and dissatisfaction that could gradually erode the unity and collective strength that the party relies on for its continued success and influence. The resulting fragmentation within the party's core supporters may lead to challenges in maintaining a solid and unified front moving forward. ​

Top Three Potential Dethroners

Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Nasir El-Rufai have emerged prominently as the leading challengers through the ongoing ADC coalition discussions, frequently mentioned in numerous analyses and reports concerning the 2025 elections. Their names consistently appear as key contenders shaping the political landscape in the lead-up to the electoral season.​

Peter Obi

Key Advantage: The candidate possesses an unmatched appeal among the youth, coupled with a strong anti-establishment vibe that resonates deeply with younger voters. This unique combination is causing considerable concern for the APC, as it is reflected most prominently in the current polls where the candidate is gaining significant traction. ​

Path to Victory: Building a dynamic coalition between the youth and urban populations in the South-East and South-South regions, capitalizing on the impressive 25% vote share achieved in 2023. This strategy aims to broaden support by extending outreach and influence into the critical North-Central swing states, which hold significant potential to sway the overall election outcome. By effectively mobilizing these diverse voter bases, the coalition seeks to create a powerful and inclusive movement capable of securing victory in future elections.​

Atiku Abubakar

Path to Victory: The coalition of North-North Muslim groups joined forces with Southern minority communities, creating a powerful alliance that builds upon the strong foundation of 29% of the votes secured in 2023 through the ADC platform. This strategic partnership aims to unite diverse voices and interests to increase their influence and achieve greater political success in future elections. ​

Key Advantage: The veteran stature combined with extensive Northern networks provides a significant strategic edge, enabling a broad and impactful realignment of the opposition. This advantage allows for the creation of new alliances and partnerships that can reshape the political landscape on a much larger scale than before.​

Nasir El-Rufai

Path to Victory: Achieving dominance in the North-West region combined with selecting a strong Southern running mate creates a powerful strategy. This approach disrupts the political landscape effectively through coalition support, even without launching a full-fledged candidacy. ​

Key Advantage: Possessing strong disruptor credentials combined with significant appeal across multiple political parties, he is uniquely positioned either as a kingmaker or a serious contender in the political arena. This dual capability enhances his influence and strategic importance in upcoming elections.​

Black Swan Factors

INEC/Electoral Reforms: The 2025 Electoral Bill introduces several significant proposals, including the introduction of digital voter identification cards, the implementation of much tougher penalties for those found guilty of falsifying election results, the allowance of early voting for certain categories of voters, and the requirement for regular audits by INEC to ensure transparency and accuracy. These measures have the potential to greatly enhance the credibility and integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process. However, if the bill is not passed in a timely manner, these reforms could lead to delays in the electoral timeline, creating uncertainty and logistical challenges for the upcoming elections.​

Opposition Unity: The ADC coalition, which brings together key figures Atiku, Obi, and El-Rufai, has the potential to unify the fragmented opposition votes from the 2023 elections, which together accounted for approximately 54% of the total vote share. This united front could present a formidable challenge to Tinubu’s 37% support base. However, the coalition’s success faces significant obstacles, as resistance from the PDP and LP parties threatens to undermine the viability and effectiveness of this alliance. The dynamics within these parties and their willingness to collaborate will be crucial in determining the coalition’s ultimate impact.​

Socio-Economic Shock: Significant fluctuations in oil prices, sudden crashes in the value of the Naira, or a marked increase in insecurity could greatly intensify economic hardship for many citizens. These challenges have the potential to severely undermine public sentiment, shifting it strongly against ongoing reforms, even when those reforms yield measurable fiscal improvements. The combination of these factors could create a difficult environment where the benefits of economic policies are overshadowed by everyday struggles and concerns about safety. ​

Tinubu's incumbency combined with the well-organized APC machinery currently position him as the clear favorite for the 2027 reelection, based on prevailing trends and political dynamics.

Nevertheless, if a strong opposition coalition led by the ADC emerges, effectively capitalizing on widespread economic hardships and public dissatisfaction, it could significantly reduce his lead and make the race much more competitive. Unless there are major unforeseen events or shocks that disrupt the political landscape, Tinubu's advantages are expected to hold, though likely by only a narrow and closely contested margin.

You just listed the same old failed political class, including President Tinubu by the way, yet there is another surefire way.

Get an all female candidacy of Bianca and a young Middle Belt or Northern woman under the age of 35 to be her deputy.

Watch as they will battle APC harder than the losers at ADC, PDP or LP ever can. The new blood party might lose in 2027 but come 2031, they will win hands down.

Peter Obi and LP showed in 2023, before Obidients brought their tribalism into play, that Nigerians now want a change from the usual suspects. One more sustained push and we can get it.

atobs4real:
Infact the man came at the wrong time.

He came at the right time, it was his Obidients that he came with that were the problem. There will never be a right time for those ones to appear.

The EFCC guy said the absoitryth, thingshavt gotten so bad that when a random Nigerian does me an unsolicited for good thing or refused to accept something for doing their job, I am astonished.

I was at the offices of a Lagos state Ministry the other day and some woman went over and above to help me out, on sighting me pulling out my wallet, she said she was only doing her job and refused anything, I nearly fainted.

I did go out to buy something for them to share in the offices which they reluctantly accepted and appreciated sha.

Even the whiter than white saints called Obidients have fallen out over mismanagement of Obidient funds. Nigerians wey go make heaven no go pas me and 5 oda pipo maximum.

symbianDON:
Instead of blaming Tinubu she's blaming airlines.

It's okay nwanem, Peter Obi will win elections next time out and businesses would not only not increase prices at Christmas, they will halve them.

Just exercise patience, you hear.

Segunbabba:
The Labour Party has revealed that there will be no automatic tickets to any aspirant ahead of the 2027 general elections, adding that even its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will be put through competitive primaries.

https://thesun.ng/2027-no-automatic-ticket-for-obi-labour-party/

I nor go jus tok...

Screw that, ẹhn hẹn so this party has now finally come to its senses, no more automatic ticket because someone has a boat load of noisy, rude and entitled followers on social media.

Bia, I nor mention any pipo name ó, bikonu make una allowed me.

Nextjs:
They won't shout sovereignty

Let them also note that Trump can quote on human right protection and invade Nigeria bomb the hell out of sambisa... Change leadership that will deal with those Bandits and boko boys

Trump cannot "quote on human right" anything. He can do things under the auspices of the UN same as Nigeria can do under ECOWAS or AU.

Change leadership to hand over to Peter Obí àbi, you Obidients sha want to steal President Tinubu's mandate, a mandate on which a lot of Nigerians are standing.

GUNITGuy:
Did I hear you say he has only some influence in the south west ....lol a man Kept his political party inorder for 24yra you said he has some influence only in south west the joke his on you...
He has the loyalty of almost all the former governors both north and south ...He gets to the National assembly and they stand and sing on your mandate we stand ....Even Judges sang that song ....
Let me not to even mention local Government Chairman aren't left out in this Tinubu Political Machinations ...Guy that guy called Tinubu is a Political Genius
Let me not mention internationally the West are relying on him to prevent further Coups ....

Per the bolded, please ó, don't let these Obidients start their crying again. Judges didn't sing the song, they stood up while the band played "on your mandate" as President Tinubu was walking to the podium to deliver his address.

It needs clarifying now because when Peter Obí comes third again next elections and heads to court once more, Obidients will reference your post as gospel.

hafeeanubasy:
From my personal interaction with most Igbo and south south by extension,they always find it difficult to differentiate ISLAM from HAUSA-ISM/FULAN-ISM.
And it speaks so much about how Ignorant they are about Islam.
For example,some of them believe for some yorubas to have been Muslims,It means fulani must have colonized them while the knowledge of history,if they have,should have let them know that Islam got to yoruba land through trading with Malians,the reason why Islam is called "IMOLE" in yorubaland and it precedes Christianity and even Islam of some part of the North.

Per the bolded, you are wrong, please don't lump South South in with any Ndigbo (particularly negative Obidient type) trait.

Maybe North delta, at a push, but even those ones are effectively claiming their own distinct mindset from people on the other side of the Niger bridge.

Per what you said, about Islam and trading, this is true about Ẹdo North and some prominent families in Benin that are Muslim.

BS AI generated pictures.

Some things you just do not say or if you really must, choose the right place and time.

Peter Obi, it's one thing wrecking your political career, but you are destroying that of any Northern polician that attempts to align with you.

Oh dear, na scatter everytin level we dey now!

AustineE1:
Tomorrow they will be quick to claim how Lagos is their own and how Tinubu created it,without acknowledging that most infrastructures and key establishments in Lagos are federal government projects,using our common patrimony.
Anyway, there is no problem,as long as Lagos is 'no man's land'!

Most infrastructure, really?

All the industrial estates on the mainland from Apapa to Ilupeju to Ikeja just for starters, which one is Federal Infrastructures (sic) there?

Eko Atlantic is also Ala Yoruba, dem force BOI go dere.

Una Obidients sha. Una nor go see say if Baba God bless person and you happy for am, you sef go get ya own.

If anytin, na una see place wey Awo and President Tinubu develop pas una own wan take style claim am dey tok Federal patrimony. Comot eye for anoda persin tin hustle get ya own.

Uyi!

South-south is now 100% APC: A look at the party control across Nigeria geo-political zones (Dec 9, 2025)

As a neutral, this kind of dominance by APC is not good for the country.

Just as happened with PDP's dominance, it means the dominant party will have zero reason to work hard and, typical of Nigerian politics, have corrupt politicians with easy access to the nations funds.

Look at the bandits that surrounded Goodluck for example, whilst he was a good man, the hawks around him looted unperturbed, knowing they were in the dominant and only national party.

I believe President Tinubu is doing is best and has no reason to loot, but I don't trust a lot around him.

Let's get some sensible opposition, full of untainted youngsters, to be a viable opposition. Clearly PDP have (not surprisingly) imploded at the first sign of trouble, and the chancers in ADC just ported over from PDP with the sole aim of continuous access to the nations money.

Nonsense, what do they mean by "have access to borehole/hand pumped water"?

If my neighbour has a borehole and allows the street to use it for free, is the whole street counted as having access? How exactly is this measured?

As an example, in my younger years, a relative lived in the next street and I could access their taps for free at any time while others paid. Who is counted as having access or not having access by statisense in this scenario?

Clearly another silly Obidient South East is better than South West BS that has been caused by President Tinubu defeating Peter Obí at the polls.

I notice the usual suspects are already here gloating over an obvious falsehood, who do una dis, Obidients?
