DeLaRue:
Nigeria is certainly lagging behind and should be doing a lot better in.many areas.

But some of the countries people are quick to compare Nigeria with have more than 300-year headstart over Nigeria.

Comparison is good, but we also need to be realistic.

Today, the pace of change is so fast, and the first movers ie Western countries and now some Asian countries are so far ahead, I don't know how African countries will catch up. The world system, including globalisation, is also not in our favour.

Egypt is struggling badly. South Africa has not progressed much economically. Ghana is on its knees. Most African countries are basket cases.

These days, the more I look at the world in my private moments, the more I fear we may never catch up with the most successful/developed countries in the world.

Our systems and our minset as a people are far removed from what they need to be for us to develop, let alone catch up.

Our population is growing too fast, faster than our economy, which means the country can't even maintain the status quo in terms of standard of living, let alone improving it. Too many of our people are not being educated. Those who think they're educated did not receive the right education.

We have simply not set ourselves up to compete.

Makes me sweat when I think about all these things, as I desperately want the best for the tens of millions of struggling people who need and deserve better.

Thought provoking

GeneralPulal:
Check this Ebonyi results below and you check the one op claimed a student saw in the bush, you’ll see they have the same pattern..

Igbos have high lie and deceit tendency, but unfortunately for them, they’re not that smart as they always claim to be. It’s easier to detect any propanganda they cooked up..

A student didn’t see any result anywhere. It was ipob that forged inec result sheet & write the result you’re seeing up there..

The tools they used for Biafra or death propaganda is what they’re using for this election..

What does this have to do with Igbos now?

Obaofaba:
Yes those concern needs to be addressed most especially in Lagos so that chinedu Rhodes will not be rigged in.

See mumu

spearman:
A man who came 3rd in an election is inciting followers to stand behind his “mandate”. What should the man who came 2nd then do? It never takes long for a fake leader to unravel.



Photos of Nigerians Ibos Listening to Peter Obi's International Press Conference

Let's even assume your last paragraph is correct

Are Igbos not NIGERIANS again?

Iamgrey5:
Even if a million votes were deducted from Tinubu's tally and added to yours, you will still lose the election to Tinubu.

You could only manage 25% in 16 states when you needed 25 states

I believe you want to use the emotions of your supporters as a currency to buy their loyalty till the next Elections.

ATIKU and even Buhari have been able to use the same mechanism in the past to remain relevant between election cycles.

I have always said Peter Obi is just like every politician in Nigeria, he is a very self-centered man who pretends to stand for everything and everyone but will always look after his own personal interest at the end of the day.

Story story

Moh247:




Ozekhome SAN is about to cash out


CJN Alhaji Ariwoola from Oyo State Nigeria is waiting for them with their petition



.

What does he being from Oyo have to do with anything?

plaindealer:

You guys keep calling Obi IPOB

But will never call shettima Boko Haram

Una no get sense I swear

Okwyjesus:
Obi is a wonder. With no state governor, no Fed House member. He did all this wonders

Am proud of him.

Shame on all the SS governors that worked against Obi.

Indeed

Peter Obi should be proud of himself
He fought a good fight

doffman:
Wait ooo.


How will Emefiele feel right now ?

Just my thought .

He will complete his term in 2024 then go

ProphetM0hammad:
Ogbuefi
Your people are already weak and exposed without any form of alliance, you still want to lead them to the streets so they can be further depopulated
Have a rethink if you like, no matter what, it's the ibos that will suffer more losses

What does this have to do with Igbos again?

Slurity:
For your mind, Obi will become president when Igbos hate Y orubas and Fulani /Hausa at the same time. Obi will always be third option. Except he content under PDP or APC. THAT IS THE 2 PARTIES WE HAVE IN NIGERIA AT THE CENTRAL.

Judging by the comments being made by some misguided Yoruba bigots
It will appear that it's the other way round

That Yorubas hate Igbos

Key word: Appear

Just go to Twitter and read for yourself

This has been the pattern for the last 8 years

koboko69:
So na the same population dey every local government? Jos alone can be the population of 5-6 Local government. How many local govts did Obi win in Lagos, compared to APC, did he not still win Lagos with more votes? You guys thinks everything starts and ends on social media. That you guys are lousy ones on social media does not mean there are no other voters reality. Una think say all the noise online translates to noise on ground? Take handkerchief jare. .

Obi won almost ten local governments
And that's even based on the fake results released o

Slurity:
Even if Makinde lost as governor, be sure that he will and Wike are safe with Tinubu to get appointment if the choose to defect to APC. THOSE THAT WILL DIE POLITICALLY ARE THISE THAT WORKED AGAINST PDP AND ALSO APC. WIKE IS A VERY SMART MAN. HE SENT A VERY STRONG MESSAGE TO SELLFISH POLITICAL CABALS IN PDP. ATIKU AND TAMBUWA.

How does this benefit the average man from their states?

ravensckar:
Even the devil will do the sign of the cross upon reading this mendacious statement above. For a tribe that voted the likes of T.A Orji (for 2 terms), Ikpeazu (for 2 terms), Ugwuanyi ( 2 terms), Ikedi Ohakim (1 term), Hope Uzodinma (1 term). How then do you people claim not to support incompetent people? Make una dey take suffery suffery dey lie nau. Hian?

In a bid to run your mouth
You have now looked very stupid

Uzodinma was 4th but supreme court made him the winner; I'm sure you didn't know that cos you are dull.

Ugwuanyi and co were sacked from going to the Senate because they have been useless

Ohakim forgot himself and lost to Okorocha who at the time was a better candidate

You see where this is going ?

CilicMarin:
I hope the military are on standby...

To shoot protesters abi?
You think this will be a repeat of the Lekki Toll Gate ?

CoronaVirusRelo:
Long overdue

Pride won’t make Peter call!

Dude just wasted aviation fuel and gasoline for no just cause .
Money he could have used to set up a pig farm, he was using it to pollute the environment.

I hope Earth will recover from the environmental degradation Peter caused.

See dunce

So the one that Thefnubu was going upandan was not environmental pollution

Heavensent01:
inec doesn't have the power to stop announcement of Result being certified by the state returning officers, agent in various parties should have fought for any Questioning figures



whether you think the election is rigged or not, once inec chairman received all the states election result and make announcements then you can go to court for redress with a pictorial evidence that the election was rigged, it's then you've the opportunity to win if it was rigged


any igbo that caused havoc in my area won't go unpunished

you dumbfvck

What is your obsession with Igbo people ?

Goke7:
party within six months? na pdp just shift base abeg

That's not true

Derring:
You and I know a lot of irregularities happened, even foreign observers said so. No matter whosever win, we gonna work with him!

We can't work with someone who was forcefully declared winner based on a fraudulent process

BJanta:
There's a bullet waiting the street for the head of anyone who forments trouble outside side there. Try it, you'll know that the Nigerian soldiers that waste about 2million Ibos during the the failed Biafran session were not up to 5000.

God will punish you

Why bring Igbos and biafra into this ?
What does it have to do with the current elections now ?
The fraudulent elections

If things really get out of hand like you are suggesting
Do you think even the soldiers will be able to handle the fall out ?

Drealman20:
Go to court.. But just calm down, bat is the president..

If u r not okay, go and contribute money and do personal investigation then seek legal redress

Shame

Una go see Sha
Let us hear the announcements first
Then we go know

Do you think either side will win when there is an all out face off between Igbos and Yorubas

Drealman20:
But no irregularities if na imo Enugu abia and co abi

U Don ment

Let the entire election in the 36 states be audited

Let's see where the irregularities came from

Is that too much to ask ?

GlobalWay:
Sincerely, this current INEC have really tried. Let's give it up to them. No Election in the whole wide World has ever been 100% Perfect. Even the last almighty USA Election that brought in Joe Biden was massively faulted by more American internationally than this Nigeiran Election. Yet Joe was declared Winner.

For those that may not understand the Excellence of what INEC has done so far, do you know that till this very Day there are no official results for the 2007 Elections. Results from 11 States were announced and INEC declared Yaradua the winner with 24m votes. Yaradua a true Muslim that couldn't hide his surprised, wondered what happened when he has not gotten up to 35% of what Tinubu has now gotten and he was declared Winner.
Against all Odds, Tinubu has Won this Election already. He should be Declared Winner without any further Delay so that we can all now focus on how to make Nigeria to Progress.
Like if you Know that INEC has tried and much more Fair than USA Electrical Body did in their last Election, Share if not.

Blackmail won't work this time

Christistruth00:
Please tell Peter Obi to Concede and Congratulate Tinubu

It is Elections not War

Well this election turned to war when thugs were sent to the streets and the elections tampered with

Calling Tinubu to congratulate him is endorsement of fraud

The win by all cost and by any means will really cause serious trouble in Nigeria

Jack500:
Go and do your worst then and let Nigeria army use you for shooting practice.

You see the calibre of people supporting the ruling party ?

ProphetM0hammad:
. He wrote many letters to Jonathan too. Before going on to write a book ridiculing Atiku

Baba is just jittery and wary of the impending disgrace coming his way for queueing behind a losing ibo man.
He really missed it and fell for the social media marketers

Can't you guys surprise us and not show your bigotry?

FidoNido:
Remember you are not God so stop being sentimental,your people did worse than that man, I saw a video of an apc party agent being bullied by LP voters, it was bad.

I'm not bring emotional or sentimental

I am being principle
And as a matter of principle; I cannot associate with people that support evil

Watch out for how people will relate with each other going forward if this travesty is left to stand

Youngpaperboy:
Oga rest. Nigerians own is not challenges, it's called corruption. Senatorial and House of Rep results were uploaded at the polling units, while presidential election results were not uploaded, that's calculated rigging. Some inec Rec were forced to sign some results at gunpoint, that's deliberate, not challenge. Soldiers were sent to help maintain law and order, yet they are nowhere to be found when ApC thugs were attacking other party stronghold, that's not challenge,it's deliberate.
And if you no wan get sense, don't quote me with ur sentimental trash

True

Goke7:
Yorubaland cannot continue to be a testing ground for political correctness, we are not New York and can never be. We are tired of being mocked for being liberal

Democracy is simple

One man one vote

If you are insistent on your candidate winning by force; then it is no longer a democracy

Let me tell you APC major problem; especially here in Lagos; it is the sense of entitlement; patronage system they run and the type of politics they play

APC can EASILY win over majority of the voters in the state without the need for coercion; thuggery and the likes

But instead of doing that; it's to be resorting to threats and TRIBALISM

sammy329:
They are returning back to supporting Nnamdi Kanu!!!


Sore losers

Don't be stupid.

The vast majority of. Igbo people do not support the IPOB

Claiming that because of the elections outcome the ethnic group will "go back to biafra" agitation is very silly of you

MuslimIgbo:


I was just wondering o...
WHO DID OSU PEOPLE VOTE FOR?

DID THEY ALSO VOTE FOR OBI?

I have been wondering since yesterday...

Also, I know that 99% of Igbos voted for party and not individual.

My brothers don't know politics at all.
I'm so ashamed of my people

Osu people abi?
No wahala
