If it were Obi, it would be like, "they don't win elections online"...."They win it on the ground"

Liebermantic:
Ikwerre people are architect of Obi's Presidency in Rivers state.Pls stop that

Look, SOME Igbo people can be very disgusting. I wonder how a people so blessed can be so naive and politically stupid.

Tell me why any reasonable Igbo person, at this fragile period, would raise an agent-provocateur such as the Ikwerre/Igbo question? You wish that Nigerians vote for your candidates and yet you think it's an auspicious period to taunt a section of the electorate.

Australians are mostly native English speakers but yet cling to their Australian nationality

No, he hasn't! He has hit the nail on the head. I never saw it that way.

You must not see it my way. That's the beauty of democracy, however, somethings are easily discernible.

Until then, Femi exhibited ridiculous reasoning

Anyiamaka:


I have known the Kutis. This one is very much unlike them. This is prove that age has nothing to do with wisdom and maturity. Like a 60 year old son of Fela could understand and interprete the movement to free Nigeria as Zoombies? Even Seun Kuti barely 30years won't talk this this agbaya

Oh, you can't compare Seun to Femi. Artistically and natural intelligence, Seun stands tall and above Femi. In several TV interviews, Femi had consistently shown he lacked depth. So I am not surprised to read his current ephemeral thinking of the issues at hand.

Femi, you have also taken the word out of context.

The apparent momentum of Obi across Nigeria
outweighs the millions of dollars Tinubu paid to these gluttonous enemies of a good Nigeria. I trust the great people of Enugu state. They know what is at stake, and which is the redemption of Nigeria and a post war real reintegration of the Igbo into the main stream Nigerian body politic.

Nonsense. That's the very idioot much was expected from when he came back from the US and became the governor. He instead formed a mafia family and looted Enugu dry. Of which the vestiges of his corrupt and terror regime are much visible in Enugu today. It's obvious he has not moved on, but Nigerians of all tribes have ignited the move to extricate themselves of heartless politicians like Nnamani.

Hizzy:

Guy na you go tire mods will continue to ban you, you open another account which will take you like 6 minutes or ten while it will take the mods 3 seconds to ban you
Like I said na you go tire with this spamming on Nairaland

Listen to their accent, it's not Igbo. Why they can't reason baffles me...

This is hopeful. The Nigerian electorate have actually transcended the fault lines that have kept them politically undeveloped. They're now sending the message that a Tiv, Kalabari or Idoma person who can preside over Nigeria, can be given the full supoort, regardless.

ElSudani:


Ibo states are shutting out other Ibos from other states and you are ranting about competitiveness. Where in Nigeria is more competitive than Lagos/Ogun states?
Lagos cannot be our commonwealth if Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi are exclusively for Ibos.

Anyway, it will remain the commonwealth which it has been. It is very unfortunate neither you nor Tinubu of yesterday will change it. The demography of LAGOS has been increasingly changing over the past 100 years. Poor soul. Good night

ElSudani:


Lagos is no more Nigerian commonwealth than Anambra or Enugu. You can't shut others out of you region and dishonestly claim Lagos as some commonwealth. How?
Recently we saw videos of cows being shot when their owners were no where to be seen. Isn't Iboland their country as well?

Load of rubbish! Haven't we seen cows being killed by Yorubas in Yoruba land. Odutola tyres established the biggest tyre retreading company in Eastern Nigeria at Onitsha Bridge head before the civil war started. He sourced for land and got one. Enough of all these rubbish. No one is shutting you out. The East is highly competitive. It is no one's fault If you cannot compete there. So stop the cheap blackmail.

I don't know when Nigerians will rise above the stupidity of insinuating that a fellow citizen is a "guest" in a part of his own country where he lives, pays his taxes and and exercises his universal suffrage as regards to voting. While the other citizen is the "host"? What a load rubbish!

Yet the same Nigerians would flood the UK, US etc., and demand citizenship and be given. Then they buy houses, demand mayoral seats of the cities. And equally access to social security and all given to them. Then in their stinking homeland Nigeria, they deny each other lucres of citizenship. What a set of monsters are these creatures?

Is there anyone stopping the other from acquiring properties in any part of Nigeria? NO.

Lagos has always been the Nigerian commonwealth and so it shall remain FOREVER. The 1911 census captured a significant population of Igbo, Hausa and other tribes in LAGOS.

Notable Igbo family like the Ojukwus, Hausas like the Dantatas, Bayeros and Ribadus. The Legema family of Benin and the Edewors of Warri had all established their presence in Lagos and drove their Rolls Royces on the streets of the city. Nearly 100 years ago.

Yes, Lagos is in Yoruba land, no doubt. That said, it is an insult to call any Nigerian a guest or "migrant" as Tinubu did in 2003 which caused an uproar. Every one should thread carefully on the issue of Lagos. The city evokes emotions on every Nigerian. The election results therein will always reflect its history. Tinubu is a new comer to Lagos history and people must know this fact.

This election will be something Nigeria has never witnessed. The enthusiasm is very high for the obvious reason, namely the entrance of Obi into this race.

Apart from Lagos state, the 5 South Western states and the 5 South Eastern States had equal amount of "completed registration" of 1.4 million each. I have never seen this level of willingness on the part of native Easterners resident in the east, west, north and south. Some redefinition is in the offing.

Who tells you the North are not on social media?

Majority have Internet access and are following the course of events?

If the news is true, the situation has nothing to do with the great personality of Peter Obi. The local people simply did not want some characters who did not discharge their duties to their constituencies in the past, to ride on the back of the Peter Obi momentum to re-impose themselves on them. Fair enough.

Each an everyone of them has to account for his past stewardship.

WisdomFlakes:
Na man you be , oga Zack. Because I know many of your people no go like this move.

No, it is the beauty of democracy. There must be room for freedom of association and expression.

We've seen this pic before

FreeStuffsNG:
It is low budget GEJ.

Nigerians have seen this film before; in 2015 they moved from this same place to the one in Lekki to many others,preaching hate, bigotry and speaking like gods, yet God who rules in the affairs of men and choose those in leadership authorities , rejected their choice so they lost . God is not mocked and He will prove Himself once again that they are not from him.

Nothing built on falsehood, hate and bigotry will stand. They lost in 2015 & 2019, they will still lose against Asiwaju Tinubu's APC in 2023 then they will go into hibernation to resurface in 2030, rinse and repeat. All na wash and showmanship, they do not have the numbers

What falsehood is bigger than the one Tinubu personified?

I just don't know why the people of this country would be suffering when they can make smart choices. Choose good leaders and you will be better for it...But they're beginning to get it right.

Your guess is as good as mine as to what would remain of APC three months today...

Doyou2019:


If Peter loses, which he won't, the gentleman will quietly go back to his million dollar strains of businesses, smiling. He'll have no hard feelings, because deep inside his heart, he'll say 'Well, I Sha tried to help my people, but most of them decided that darkness was better than light. I tried o. I gave my so-called structure - 100m poor Nigerians - all that I had, but they judged me by my tribe - a tribe that did nobody any wrong but only asked for a chance to lead. Look, I Sha tried o". Lobatan

But you see the bigots thinking they're teaching him a lesson by voting for their own and their children's dream killers
Well, teeth-gnashing and lamentations will be their day job, because those ones will have absolutely nothing to go back to after the elections are done. Heck! They are barely surviving as we speak
Poor, stupid Nigerians without a shred of sense!

So, who lose las las
Awon oniyeye.

Well said bruv.
I was having my breakfast this morning on board the Royal Carribean International cruise vessel, "Anthem Of The Seas". Watching the beautiful blue waters of the Island of the Bahamas from my table, I was overwhelmed with guiltiness. Who wouldn't, with the very severe economic situation back home? These thoughts had engulfed me right from our departure at Port Bayonne, New Jersey.

It's just very difficult to fathom how a people could be at a receiving end this long and still are contemplating whether to do the right thing. I thought hunger knows no tribe. But it's the other way in Nigeria.

Words on marble!!!

The two sides have good advisers. Not the type we had in Nigeria where one party was ill adviced to use food as a weapon of war. Well, God is in control.

Atiku is indirectly saying that Wike's denial of being Igbo relegated him to another level of a minority within the minority. Atiku needs every one vote from across the Geopolitical zones.

Wike no doubt is an Ikwerre man just as Ifeanyi Okowa is an Ika. But the two groups belongs to the ethnic Igbo language cluster. So the Hausa Fulani and the rest of Nigeria were taken aback when Wike attempted to lecture Nigerians that his names Ezebunwo Wike were not rooted in Igbo language. It caused an outrage. Thus, Atiku took another proud SouthSouth Igbo 'who can deliver'. in an election every single vote will matter so much.

True talk

mbaboy:
Why would ASUU negotiate with Bola Tinibu, under which capacity is he meeting ASUU?

US politicians would describe Tinubu as being presumptuous.

Totilopussylick:
Okoro hausa always talking like a frogs

Can you make your statement without "okoro hausa". Watch the youths from other tribes. Be smart and civil for once. It's like some of you are not listening to Peter Obi.

If these are annual salaries, they're are not impressive given their status in the company. Their equivalents in South Africa or Egypt would only accept these sums of money as yearly bonuses for that matter.

Mindlog:


That's my University and got quality education there. Did meet Atiku there last year (Cambridge Campus) though don't know the details of his admission qualifications.

Vice president of Nigeria for 8 eight years is enough a qualification to do a masters degree in IR. Infact top universities around the world would be very delighted to have Atiku as an alumni.

GreatAxeMan:
The answer is simple. Siddiq sat for the GCE in 1965 and Atiku "bought" the certificate from him.

As for his "degree" from East Anglia Ruskin University, it has a reputation as a "diploma mill" meaning an institution that sells degrees to the highest bidder. There was a scandal in the nation of Guyana were a politician called Irfan Ali used a fake degree from the University of East Anglia Ruskin to get political office.

"East Anglia Ruskins University" may be fake.

But, please, be informed that ANGLIA RUSKINS UNIVERSITY AT CAMBRIDGE is a well respected public university in the UK established in the 1800s. It has campuses in Chelmsford and London as well. Equally listed by the UK government.

What a shame on the SOUTH EAST. Inspite of the nation-wide excitement Nigerians are showing toward Peter Obi, South East is still trailing other states. Neighbouring Delta state is soaring with over half million, equally is Bayelsa, Edo etc..

Onitsha alone should have registered over half a million by now!

I will advice my people to talkless on the social media and get down to business. Ndigbo, elections are won on mass participation and not through name calling on the social media. Get down to business, please.
