Relax... you are not seeing what Nigeria looks like perhaps you weren't born here... the power going north will never made Nigeria move forward. The influence of religion, qoata system and power bragging that will lead to more insecurity is what you will always see. .. you obviously don't know what it means for power to go back to the north. This has nothing with good people or bad people Honestly.

Lol I was born and bred in the heart of Eko and still hustling in the streets till today.
Look, when I say North, I’m not talking about the political class. Most are corrupt with their own ideologies. Some Yoruba politicians are also corrupt with their ideologies, so are some Igbo politicians.

My point is that in the middle of all of this, if you pay attention, you’ll find gems. Gems like Peter Obi, gems like Datti, gems like Sowore.

Forget the old criminals and their emilokan or power to the north or ipob agenda. Focus!

Let me correct a notion going round about the balablu and bulaba. He was saying his own political meeting or invitation is organised differently not like people "blabbing" so instead of using blabbing he coined balablue. I saw the video and it was understandable.

My take is whatever you do hmmm pray not to let another fulani man get there.. Nigerian will experience volcano this time ooo

Loll coined balablu. It seems you don’t have old people around you.
Once na accident, twice na coincidence, three times na pattern o. Why take chances?

That’s tribalism and I choose not to thread down that path. There are good Fulani people out there just as there are evil Yoruba and Igbo people. Look past all these and vote the character of the man and his vice. Stay positive.

Unfortunately, this is Nigeria next president. All those noise of wasting money is self delusional.

Also being objective here, was this man indicted of corruption or arrested and convicted of drugs related crime.

Unlike Atiku; that was directly indicted by is former boss and the FBI back then.

Fortunately Peter Obi is the man for the Job because he is vibrantand still young... (he jumped the queue withoutbeing patient) unfortunately it is a dream that can not come through as far as Nigeria is concerned. The weapon of illiteracy is winning and this is why it is hard to enlighten majority in Nigeria.

You can only hope for Peter Obi but I am sorry it is a dead end. Nevertheless you all should try your best.

I also know Tinubu will not be a bad President. So there is hope in all front. For now fingers crossed.

Whatever your prayer is; pray against power going back to the north otherwise you all will see Shege banza season 2

Tinubu will not be a bad president keh? Tinubu will be worse than Atiku coming from me a Yoruba man. The thing be like comedy and propaganda but Tinubu actually went live and said incoherent words! He really said balablu bualaba! These are signs of dementia incase you don't know. Old people get that a lot. Tinubu will be more invisible than Buhari.

Plus the fact that he's running on a Muslim Muslim ticket with Shettima of all people. It also sounds like propaganda but Shettima has literally been linked to Boko Haram severally. Your vice president

Lastly, one of the main purposes of democracy is check and balance. If APC sees that they're reelected, their attitude will be worse. They'll believe that we're their slaves truly. Shebi it was just 77,000 barrels of oil they were stealing? It'll be half of our entire export they'll be stealing now.

We know it's not going to be easy to tip this system of corruption over but we're never going to win with Obi with that spirit you have. Stay positive!

You don make her day be that and she don ruin your day

As a young guy still in the street hustling wey you never gather ehn, make sure the girl is giving you some green light.

You can get that green light when that one girl in your class is always looking for your trouble or a girl stealing glances at you in church. The school classroom own is more likely tbh. Even if she's not too fine, still go for it! THEN AND ONLY THEN should you approach a lady for chyking.

When you have her, some fine girls that like make-believe will see you with a gf and think you're "that guy". That's how you climb the ladder bro.

I'm against chyking random girls when you no get money/car.

WGAF about the words coming out of his lying mouth when his actions and record speak for themselves. From his record, how is he different from the rest of the miscreants?

The only stain on Obi is tax evation through Pandora and using state money to fund his family business. Of course the latter is very bad but like I said, what the other two have done cannot be compared to his. The best part about Obi is that he clears that air. On the Town Hall meeting he cleared up why doctors were on strike in Anambra and many other controversies. I believe Obi redeemed himself by leaving state fund without debt and also not taking pension. I'll give him 6/10. And if you actually know Datti, he hates corruption gan ni. For him to stay with Obi means they mean well!

Tinubu's court cases involved drug trafficking and money laundering in US and also certificate forgery case by late Gani Fawehinmi.
Tinubu was charged for operating 10 foreign accounts, directly or indirectly via his wife and children, while serving as a state governor between 1999 and 2007.
False asset declaration in 1999 as well and so many others you even get tired of mentioning.
The man is just wiggling his way through a corrupt system and it's up to you to let him have his way or tell him enough is enough this time around.

Atiku Abubakar, his chief rival, brought tens of millions of dollars of ‘suspect funds’ into the US when he was Nigeria’s vice president and also was implicated in a bribery case that resulted in the imprisonment of an American congressman.

At the end, na you go gas weigh am. All Na still risk including Obi but even me a Yoruba knows that chances say those old men Atiku and Tinubu go dabaru the country further high pass pami.

You Osu people act as if the incompetent that dresses as if he is in perpetual mourning is different from the thieves in the OP.

How could you ever say Obi is the same as these hardened criminals. Y'all not even doing any sort of research, you're just going with the crowd. Watch his Town Hall meeting with channels yesterday on YouTube please.

Which Obi are you talking about, the same Obi who who can not tamed ipob and upper iweka miscreants. Come back to the topic, honestly,APC fail this country and her people,we must do everything to send them parking. Vote PDP for better security

You realise Boko Haram started during PDP Jonathan's administration right? That he had no solution to so we had to vote APC. And now that APC has added fuel to the fire. Nigerians please don't forget too quickly. Na so them dey use our heads o.

Let's do away with PDP and APC. Their very foundation is rooted in darkness.

And this guy has igbo friends in the music industry,i use to think brymo is woke and exposed but i was wrong sentimental people can never go far in life no wonder his carrer is down the drain.

It's the point I've been trying to make since yesterday and I'm glad someone else sees it my way. As a Yoruba man living in Lagos, I have so many Igbo friends from childhood till now and I could never think, talk less of writing such hate speech.

The fact that Brymo says he'll not apologize means his Igbo friends have talked to him and so I'm forced to believe that this animal Brymo is deciding to betray everything around him for money. He's no different from the Lagos touts that flip vehicles over for Tinubu for 500 naira.

kingmaster2009:
There is nothing new in all the semantic and sermonic submissions. As a matter of facts this is usual style with which Obi and his followers use in campaigning....i can identify the usual style it ....they will start by being logical and and then put some subtle of tribalism and religious sentiment....if needs be. I'm glad you try to remove those sentimental aspect in the pattern that some of you campaign, convince and confuse people to vote for Peter Obi.

However it is a matter of two parallel line of discussion that can never meet ...I have to appreciate your time. and your intelligibility in putting all this together ..however, the more I pretend to reason along your line of thought the more the reality kept staring at me.....im sorry I may sound like a rigid and conservatives person but I cannot dodge from upholding the truth about politics and governance in Nigeria. The trajectory has always been the same and even though the person at the center seat is trying to veer off the usual nigerianize political trajectory his or her close alliances and advisers are there to wipe him back to the "traditional" status quo .
Have you ask yourselves this question ....that whenever southeastern governors want to have Yiibo meeting they meet usually at Owerri, Imo ...so as is Southwestern governors their meeting place is always In Ibadan.., or Oyo state....for the northerner, it is always Kaduna...you might think all states are at the center of this region but it is beyond that ...all regional meeting often have a reference point... and this reference point is the Fulcrum of all the decisions, policy and program....And this also forms the ideology they also use to drive so many things they intend to do....we are all products of the environment we grew up in...
You are free to keep.on sending your write up.on social.mesia to. convince more.peoole that will.believe in your Peter Obi but count me out of such trajectory ....im not a robot that some people will concoct stuff togther for so that his mind will be configure to think.and act In a certain.way.....i read my way into it. knowing what transpired In the past so as to have a broader perspective about things.....

Now ask.yoirserves the reason why an average Aboiki poilitcal leader cannot step.down for Obi Peter or trust him.with power ...it is not because of anything but for past experience .....dont think Buhari will pray that Obi becomes the president.....

Why?/He is the most qualified for the job but....he will rather allow the most stacked illiterate for the Fulani.extract to.emerge as the president than giving it to.the most qualified person...

I appreciate you taking your time to explain your points and I see now why you're choosing this narrative but incase you didn't notice, we're not in a military regime! And what are you talking about tribal sentiments? I'm Yoruba! Lol

According to history, the north made sure they were developing faster than other regions but today Buhari is on the sit and the north is bleeding. He's even doing more for southeast than the north from the looks of it. Also, was it not in Tinubu's Lagos that they shot at Lagosians at the tollgate including us Yorubas?

If you understand that our political elites do nepotic appointments not for secession but for their pockets then it'll become clear. Even Eastern political elites are past secession, they want the money. What would it benefit Igbo rulers to leave Nigeria when it's their turn to share in the national cake?

Which leads to me reiterating my point again. The major thing we the real Nigerian masses are seeing in Peter Obi is his no nonsense attitude for wasting public funds and how detribalized he is. This one is 100% verified after his administration. This singular virtue is like finding gold in a mudpile. Amongst the current thieving, nepotic and wasteful nonsensities we have as leaders, one is actually saying "no I can't!". His vice is also popular for fighting corruption openly.

Obi isn't perfect for trying to evade tax but other than that, looking at the current crops of candidates, he's decent.

And get the thought of secession out of your mind. I have a lot of deep rooted Igbos as friends and they're absolutely against Ipob activities. It's just another tool of the political elites to divide and conquer.

Cheers.

kingmaster2009:
By your expression of words....it is either you are I'm your early twenties or you are not a student of history by choice...

The. political game of this country is beyond rhetoric or oratory speech ....it is deep. For me. to.be jumping from different platforms of social media to another. there are some things I have seen coming if Obi becomes the president...
Like a good marketer, all they want you to see is reveal the weakness of their competitor and cover some. of those hidden agendas they have for you in elected ....and you sound like the person that has fallen for their cheap rhetoric...

I am a student of politics and history by choice...and obviously, I have read through different books on history and. politics...including Nigeria's politics, government, and history... I have tool the pain to go back to how we started and what has led us to where we are... And I discovered that we have constantly and consistently repeated the same thing and our leaders keep using the same mindset to run the government to date...

Now, I can tell you for free that this election is a religious and tribal...and this why obi solely count on tribal and religious strength by going to a different church for campaigning and meeting his people essentially in different parts of the country to solicit for their supports ..then compare this 2023 election ....then comapre this kind of campaign to what we have in 1959 election ....then you will be discovered that it is no different in the election campaign style of 1959 and the 9ne of 2023 ...the only difference is just the technology and some. few things....but the mindset of the political leaders and citizens across the country is still the same.....


Lemme drop.my pen here... I will. encourage you to read about the past political movement we had in Nigeria and compare it with what we have now....you will discover lots of similarities......

I can tell you for free what to expect if any of the 3 most popular presidential candidate emerges as the president ....and it. will.be so...i.so.sure of it...

I'm a fervent reader of history books and philosophy and Nigeria's is no exception and so, I'll liken your fear and generalisation to that of a black man today ignorantly concluding that a white man he has just met newly is racist because of what happened in the past. That black man will never go far in life.

You boasted of being a student of history yet you act like presidential candidates going to churches and mosques is a new thing in Nigeria. You act like presidential candidates meeting with rulers is a new thing.

Your narrative is unclear probably the manner in which you write but I'll reiterate my own view on Obi. His track record is really good, he communicates very often, his plans for Nigeria aligns with what it needs, and Yoruba activists like Dele Farotimi support him.

Insinuating that Obi has ipob plans because he met with Igbo rulers is as good as insinuating that Tinubu has plans for Oduduwa's secession because he met Yoruba leaders. Drop the tribal lens and give the man a chance.

Apologies accepted, it's quite unfortunate people just exhibit hatred. In the real world, a lot of Yoruba people are nice. Normally, there is always competition among the major tribes but this level of hatred in Nairaland is suspicious. When you meet some foreigners especially our close neighbors like Ghana, Cameroon etc they know too much about little friction in the country. I am very sure some mischievous ones amongst themselves especially the young ones/students tend to disguise as either Yoruba or Igbos to troll just to have fun in their free time. If one is ready to practice strict bigotry/tribalism then the person should stop entering commercial vehicles, going to hospitals, taking flights, going to restaurants, or getting financial help, or getting educational knowledge etc from another tribe. If you meet those politicians that we fight for in their various social gathering, you will be shock how they enjoy themselves. They are all united in looting and impoverishment of the masses. An artist should strive to unite everyone just like late Fela and Bob Marley. If not for the help of Nysc programme that made a lot of people to experience other cultures, men! Tribalism would have been so dangerous. The funny thing is that when one goes out in the real world, you hardly hear tribal hateful words from people. All the celebrities in this country were made popular by all tribes put together. The people bought their musical albums, paid for their shows etc.
Please don't mind my long epistle, I had to just elaborate on the matter. Stay blessed.

It's very necessary to elaborate! I usually don't pay attention to tribalism because I know they're the 0.001% but when someone like Brymo who should be enlightened says something like this, it makes me anxious. People like him take us back to the stone age. I really hope other celebs reach out to him to detribalize him so Nigeria can move forward.

Racoon:
Just imagine the kind of desperation paronia and granduer delusion that has eaten up this man. His brain is just disconnected from life and it is obvious the reality is staring Tinubu in the eyes.

This statement is just is not just an indictment on the microphone licking heroine-drug crackhead, but the equally disastrous APC party he belongs to. This is because Tinubu led APC chieftains in 2015, 2019 and now 2022 that he is shouting emilokan to desperately seek OBJ endorsement.

Now hear him today. Him whom the gods want to destroy, they often make mad. Sarrki, Seunmsg, Eriggs
, NgeneUkwenu make una come carty una here before he go naked.

You're absolutely right but maybe stop calling Tinubu names in public. He's not even worth it. Just saying the truth about his desperation and delusion is enough.

Leave the name calling to the followers of a weak leader. Focus on the message. Remember there are still undecided people and they should be your target market not the opps.

Some people are to be avoided at all cost, they are more dangerous than a snake. Just imagine seating next to these kind of people in a drinking bar, they can poison someone's drink out of hatred. One needs to be very careful. In addition, I have the feeling that most hateful comments in nairaland might be from international influences, people trying cause civil war in Nigeria. Because I wonder how a fellow countryman will be exhibiting so much hate to he's/her brother online? What caused the civil war in Rwanda was from a radio programme. The hate in nairaland is not normal and is beyond just normal jabbing. It's becoming a well calculated attempt to cause serious crises in the country. And the owner of nairaland is ok with it because any Igbo topic will generate more revenue to him. Funny society we live in.

Someone should put a pin on this! The level of tribalism displayed on this thread is unbelievable.

One Sunrise258 on here was inciting hate clearly saying "Yorubas are cultured and educated and don't call people names". The next paragraph, he continued with "Igbos are cantankerous traders". An immediate contradiction of himself.

I went on to argue that in that case, he isn't part of us the cultured Yoruba people! I was so confused that Brymo would even utter such cause as an artist I reckon that he moves around Nigeria often, meets and relates with different ethnicities.

I guess it shows how deep rooted tribalism is in the soil of Nigeria and living in a metropolis doesn't guarantee it'll cleanse them. As a Yoruba, I apologize for this hate speech by Brymo!

Olaolex:
We just need to wake up. These politicians are enslaving either directly or indirectly. Let's talk reality, let's forget conolization. We were conolized, we were enslaved by white. They made us underdeveloped. Yes! They did all these and more to us. But to be honest, we have what it takes to be among the top countries in terms of infracstructure, in terms of basic amenities, in secury, to mention but a few... But the our so called leader are milking the country dry. Their only weapon to achieve this is to cause division among Nigerians. Hence the hatred, tribalism and religion differences the preach.
What pisses me off the most is seeing some folks here inciting hatred. It's a pity! Smh... We just need to get things right the election. Though Rome is not built in a day but we can start somewhere. The only thing to attack our oppressors is UNITY AMONG US.

I totally agree with you brother.

Agbadolova:
So the brightest of you all is bat. That's hilarious. Keep it up. You have a very short memory.

You not even looking at the monikers you're quoting lol. You just quoted me with "objective submission" on another post.

Btw my post was obviously sarcasm... check again and read sarcastically lol

Olaolex:
Honestly, we really need get it right in things country. We need to rise above tribalism and religion to make things work. These two factors have been our major problem. We just need to conquer it and everything will be alright. God bless Nigeria our dare country.

Amen! I'll never stop believing. The history books read that black Africans in Egypt used to produce the strongest kings and we operated a system of govt all over Africa that had check and balance.

Black Egypt was conquered because of the absence of unity amongst blacks. Afterwards, we forgot our history and our ways and black slavery happened; we forgot slavery almost immediately and colonization happened afterwards; we're currently witnessing the 4th conquering of black Africans by brainwashed political elites few years after colonization. We must fight to remember, unite and remind others.

Sunrise258:
The difference btw Yoruba and Igbo is this...

when OBJ endorsed PO no Yoruba dragged him or insulted or called him betrayer but when Arthur Eze said he is not supporting PO but Atiku, the Igbo, old and young have cursed, dragged and call this billionaire all sort of unprintable names.

Yoruba are a civilized, organised and highly educated people, who understand everyone has a right to their opinion and of choice in everything. On the contrary, the Igbo are a cantankerous group of people/traders who like to force their choice on everybody. And result to name calling and use of abusive words just bc you didn't abandon your choice and opinion to follow theirs.

I guess you're not part of we the civilised Yoruba people because we civilised Yorubas are not tribalistic and we don't generalise.

We don't allow the virus of conquer and divide designed by our political elites eat into our system. We think original thoughts.

Btw I know you also support Tinubu. Your weak leader Tinubu called Ex President Obasanjo names on live TV because he was supporting someone else. He even asked his followers to call him names too. The entire narrative you're trying to push backfired and if you're a normal human you'll question your own philosophy.

ykalhaji:
You might be right but the difference is that the Niger-Delta has the oil, so their agitations affects Nigeria,the North, provides agriculture and the majority of manpower for the military architecture of Nigeria, now what does the SE have to make the rest of Nigeria negotiate or worry about their agitations? As it is, the rest of Nigeria thinks the SE needs Nigeria more than they need the SE since people of the SE region are more outside the SE than in the SE.

Power is about leverage, when the Yorubas wanted power in 93-99 they leveraged agitations in Lagos the economic nerve center of Nigeria, the rest of Nigeria had to negotiate. The truth is that the SE can only beg for the presidency but can't negotiate or demand for the presidency of Nigeria yet.

No matter how I look at it, I'm convinced you're filled to the brim with opppresive spirits. Very insensitive and I'm not even Igbo.

If truly they don't have anything to offer, shouldn't it be easy for them to leave and form their Biafra? Why hold them back?

lhordspy:
Fela did more than this. Yet he is a legend.

Fela is his mentor by the way.

This guy I no sure say u be Yoruba o. Na Baba Fela you mention like that? A great pan Africanist that NEVER compromised not to talk of being tribalistic.

Brymo should be cancelled beyond recognition for such generalisation. As an artiste who I reckon moves all over Nigeria, doesn't he have Igbo friends? You too supporting, don't you have Igbo friends? Na wa

All of you and the spirit of unity of language are cancelled!

Olaolex:
Yes sir. I understand your plight. But we need to shun tribalism. Those urchins are bastard, they are bitter and tribalistic. They hide behind politics to incite hatred and tribalism. We must most work in unity to take this country forward. God bless you sir

This thread is scary! You're the only one that understands that we the masses need to work together in unity. I thought we were done with DIVIDE AND CONQUER! Ashey it's still in full flight!

The Igbos are mad at the Yoruba saying they're tribalistic, Yorubas are saying Igbos are tribalistic. I don't want to believe this is the stance of the average Nigerian. This thread lasan!

If this really is the way average Nigerians feel, then apparently, we're still being fueled by unity of language not unity of purpose that fuels developing/developed countries. We're no different from ancient Oyo or ancient Benin... ripe for enslavement by the West and political elites again. God abeg.

oyatainer:
I think your last paragraph here is a song of praise for Yoruba not hatred driven. I will just be laughing sometimes if I read something from Igbo political analysts.

I wonder what you take others for. I Buhari is a Jibrin and a lifeless president and Tinubu is a pampers aspirant, I think you people expect other people and tribes to clap for you. You expect them to sing song of praise for Igbo for their rhetorical prowess without getting back to you hardly. Keep on deceiving yourself. It's a part of politics and political games. If someone should be angry a lot in this country for blackmail and name calling, it should be Fulani and Hausa. You never see anything. A lot is in the pipeline for you.

It beats my imagination how Igbo who are so aggressive in name calling, dishing abuse to others expect people not to use their weaknesses against them in politics. It's a delusion to have that stance.

My guy look at you showing all your tribal scales out in the open. You look like you're learned yet you stoop this low.

How do you think the British divided Nigeria mentally? They used the media, they used information. They planted seeds. Our political elites are doing the same. In the southwest, we have so many names we call Easterners and Northerners just like the Easterners and Northerners have theirs for us and others. Read 1984 by George Orwell to understand better.

We've all been calling each other names for decades.

Think for a second my g. Why would you ever hate an Igbo person? They've never even been in position of apex power in last 2 decades to influence the course of your life...so why?

The tribalism has to stop because we the masses are the only losers in the end. Sometimes you're approached with tribalism but TRY TO BE THE BIGGER PERSON and ask him/her "why?" You'll see that they'll come around because you and that person's reality is the same!

kingmaster2009:
Omo....Oil dey your head....

You are a thinker....

My brother.....

Word of wisdom


Let all the foolish Yoruba people chanting ObiDENSE ...know that if Obi become the president ...music go change as.Buahri change the Music for Tinubu. and all the Yoruba people during his administration ....he only saw Fulani people as the capable hands in all govt parastal

I believe you have been misled. As my fellow Yoruba, I have to open your eyes. Having a president from our region doesn't guarantee us anything! Only the political elites enjoy. Currently, the north is the most damaged region despite having a Northern President.

They say when elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers. Me and you are the grass. The poor masses are the grass.

Deep down, I also have the instinct to want to be tribal and go with a Yoruba. It's absolutely normal. But you have to always look past that. Every developed country in the world did.

Look out for intelligence, look out for competence, look out for communication. Watch a couple of videos on Obi and do a background check on the man. He's not an angel o but he's the finest candidate in the top 3 by a mile egbon.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. They do not even know Brymo.

To educate you, Brymo is a Lagos Indigene.

Brymo did not come to Lagos, running away from poverty in his state in search of fame like P and Sqiare He is at home and you came to meet him in his state.

Presidency is coming home to us. This is our brightest opportunity as Lagos indigenes. We presented the best and most competent candidate to our fellow Nigerians.
On the mandate of Asiwaju I stand.

Finally, now that we have a president from "Lagos", we can buy food items cheaper than other states. .

Best978:
The G-string ineffectual artist couldn't even hide his bigotry, saying he'd rather have an Ailing president than an Igbo one. Wonder what Igbos ever did to y'all. Imagine implying the S/east isn't safe and for that deserves only VP but the North ravaged with terrorism can rule as long as they want

The guy is truly a BATstard. I'm truly shocked that Brymo of all celebrities would still be looking at life through tribal lenses and not be able to see the bigger picture. His music carries a sense of mental emancipation...

Makes you wonder how deep the root of tribalism goes in Nigeria.

As a Yoruba man, I think getting Obi in might be more difficult than we thought...

It's indeed a great welcome development. APC WILL rule Nigeria till the second coming of Jesus Christ AMEN. I can't wait to see how Tinubu will disgrace and retire Obi-thief back to Beerfraud online country through sea by next year February 2023. With the Buhari's achievements APC WILL remain in power till the second coming of Jesus Christ because Buhari have create a staight patch for APC.

Man said it's a welcome development .

I sense passive aggression. You feel betrayed by Nigeria. You're probably at the bottom of the food chain and you've been neglected for years by the middle class that should be fighting for you.

Out of spite, you want to force Tinubu on everyone so the hunger and anger you've been feeling for years will reach everyone. The govt probably made you lose someone you love. I understand. You have all the right to be angry!

The middle class are starting to stand up. The hunger too reach them small. They've finally opened their eyes and consciously decided on Peter Obi instead of leaving it to the usual thieves. The middle class are doing the work of enlightening the masses in the very poor areas too.

Just be patient, my brother. It'll soon get better. It can't go wrong with Obi.
