Akalia: So all you care is that Tinubu is president? So the woeful economy, alarming insecurity, crazy ass inflation, aggravated corruption at all levels of govt. Is not your concern? Quite unfortunate that you think only for yourself myopically. You maybe profiting from this incompetent govt. today because you are connected but anything can change tomorrow.
Stop commenting off topic!
The topic is on if Tinubu won or not.
If you are so crazy and desperate to discuss his performance as president,there are various threads on political section as regards to that for you to display your madness.
As base on this topic here....PETER OBI WON JUST EASTERN NIGERIA!,TINUBU WON BOTH THE NORTHERN AND THE WESTEN NIGERIA,thas us 2/3.If this election is conducted in early 60s,you people will not be emphasizing all these your lies!...you Igbo like creating false narratives to massage your ego.OBI WON FOR WHERE? 😆
Roger3D: Obidients should let go of this fallacy that Peter Obi won the election. It's just absurd. He lost it woefully and the only reason Tinubu is president today instead of Atiku is because of him and his movement. Obi is a decent man and he wouldn't have made a bad president, but he failed to take his message beyond the narrow confines of his uncouth online supporters. He has many other chances in the future
What is the meaning of descent again
Because no reasonable person will regard Peter obi thay worked under Abacha as NPA chairman,later mentored by a man certified by his boss obasanjo as thief ATIKU,betrayed ojukwu is greatest benefactor to send APGA to oblivion,a political prostitute (APGA,PDP&LP) ,a religious bigot (yes daddy&wake up take back your country) and a man who invested state money in a bank he has interest,Fidelity bank as being descent. Except the definition of descent has been reviewed in the dictionary or you just want to white wash him for the fools and gullible,as per the way you pepple package fake electronics ?
The leadership of the Labour Party has accused, Dr Yunusa Tanko, the campaign spokesman of its presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, of conniving with the Nigeria Labour Congress to hijack the party.
The National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday.
Ifoh, who faulted Tanko for allegedly making unflattering remarks about the party, stated that he was not mandated to speak on behalf of his principal.
The growing tension between the warring parties heightened on Wednesday when Obi’s campaign team announced that the recent visit of the former Anambra governor to the LP secretariat on Tuesday was a reconciliatory move and not an endorsement as being twisted in a section of the media.
To further buttress their point, Tanko also stressed that his principal also met with the Nigeria Labour Congress Political Commission in the early hours of Wednesday to seek an end to their conflict with the party.
The media has been awash with news of Obi and his supporters’ visit to the leadership of the party at the national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.
A few hours after his visit, a section of the media labelled the meeting as an open endorsement of the Abure-led NWC, which has been battling the NLC for validation following the contentious national convention that returned the executives to office.

A few hours after his visit, a section of the media labelled the meeting as an open endorsement of the Abure-led NWC, which has been battling the NLC for validation following the contentious national convention that returned the executives to office.
The LP through its spokesman said the activist was blinded by his personal ambition to hijack the party and could not have been speaking for its presidential candidate.
The statement read, “The attention of the leadership of the Labour Party has been drawn to numerous media reports in which Dr. Tanko Yunusa has been quoted as speaking for the party’s National Leader, Peter Obi at the illegal, unconstitutional meeting convened by the Political Commission of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“We have also watched Tanko’s recent media outbursts where he has ferociously attacked the leadership of the party, particularly after the successful national convention, where he had schemed with the NLC with the assurances that he would drive the new leadership of the party. We must state here that he cannot surreptitiously in connivance with the NLC hijack the leadership of the party through the back door.
“Tanko in his usual way of concocting lies also said that Peter Obi had met with the political arm of the NLC and the TUC on Wednesday morning. We have fact-checked and found out that this was another blatant lie by the self-appointed spokesperson of Peter Obi. I must state here clearly that he does not have the permission of Obi to speak on his behalf. The expressions he made at the NLC stakeholders’ meeting and the press release were his personal views.”
Continuing, the party claimed that during his 13-year reign as the national chairman and presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party, Tanko used the position to bargain with the party in government. It also alleged that even at the state level, the NCP has developed notoriety for using the party to bargain with the federal government

It also alleged that even at the state level, the NCP has developed notoriety for using the party to bargain with the federal government.
“As a national chairman, his party could not produce a single councillor all through his time. By the time he came to the Labour Party, cap in hand begging, the leadership of the party decided to rehabilitate him politically. He was appointed as a director of media in the party and subsequently seconded to be the spokesperson of the presidential campaign council which has since been dissolved immediately after the election.
“We would like to warn Tanko Yunusa to stop dropping the name of Peter Obi everywhere he goes and be man enough to stand on his pedigree when attending illegal meetings such as the one conducted by the NLC’s Political Commission.
“We are also calling on the NLC’s Political Commission to wake up from their slumber and stop constituting public nuisance with their so-called Interim Leadership. They must realize that Nigeria is a country with law and that the law does not support their actions. Since they have chosen to dance naked in the market square, we have refused to go low with them. But we only want to assure them that for every action there will certainly be a reaction.”
When our correspondent called for a reaction, a disappointed Tanko frowned at the allegations, saying he wouldn’t want to be seen having a heated debate with the party leadership.
He, however, promised to address the ‘insults’ thrown at him at the appropriate time.
“I don’t want to respond to this now. I believe the insults will be addressed at the right time,” he said.
A political ally of Tanko in the party, who craved anonymity because he had not been authorized to talk, however, stood up for him.
The source dismissed the claims, saying those close to him know he is an activist with a conscience.
He said, “If truly he wasn’t speaking the mind of Peter Obi, he would have debunked it in the last 48 hours. What are we talking about? We all know Obi for that. Let the man speak for himself instead of Abure and Obiora attacking him. Has this same Tanko not been defending the party before?
“For somebody who was a national secretary to Femi Falana and Osagie Obayuwana, a vice presidential candidate to Dele Momodu and later became the presidential candidate of NCP, Tanko has paid his dues. INEC was eventually forced to deregister the party only because they spoke truth to power.
“Tanko also came to the Labour Party long before Abure, Obiora and others who are trying to demonise him now. It is a fact. He has been there with Dan Iwuanyanwu and the late Abdulsalam. Aside from Abdulsalam, these people are still alive. Go and verify. This same Tanko was among the electoral committee that brought Peter Obi to LP in Asaba. You can also verify that.”
Obi is too soft and I doubt his competence to be president. Just small party like LP with just one gov Obi cannot handle. You have to be decisive even in the office. Obi's style of not wanting to offend anyone is not the best.
That woman Treasurer cried out but instead of Obi to protect her, he rather supported her sack.
I'm happy Obi has seen Abure clearly now. When Apapa was complaining it was turned to tribal war. Now everything is becoming clearer.
Let's try Kenneth Okonkwo as treasurer to keep our money.
.even obedients that were lambasting her,bullying her,accusing her of being used by TINUBU in support of Abure are now quiet......OBEDIENTS are disgusting
Melagros: COMRADES, anybody who is power drunk, I hate them: Wike Nathenyahu Buhari Tinubu Abure Etc Why the desperation for power? If you don taste am, allow another person too to taste am. That will make us an egalitarian society This is one of the reasons why I like Peter Obi, he always maintained that he is not desperate for leadership
The fact that you didn't add the fraud below who has changedaqv party thrice and even betrayed OJUKWU his benefactor in his quest for power is one of the several reasons why intelligent people don't take you OBI slaves serious!
The man was even begging the same Wike you accuse of being power drunk to rig Rivers state for him while wike should rig out LP governor out during governorship election
Tellmeastory: There were no 'TRIBES' before the British invaded Nigeria.
You were PROGRAMMED BY THE BRITISH TO SEE YOURSELVES AS ''TRIBES'' DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.
Divide And Rule.
There was NOTHING like ''Igbo people'', ''Yoruba people'', ''Hausa people'' before the British got here.
People identified themselves by their LINEAGE, ie their HOMETOWN, not by the language they spoke, which was always subject to change.
Why? Because people migrated constantly. Searching for arable land, prosperous lands, conducive environments, water etc.
There was no 'lingua franca', so an Igbo speaking family migrating to Ijebu land meant they had to learn the Yoruba language of the Ijebu and speak it, learn the culture, observe their religion etc.
They would get there and ask them about the deities they honour, and they would be guided.
You could not take your religion and deities there. You would adopt theirs. That's how it worked.
After a decade or less, you've effectively become an indigene there. An Ijebu man, plus your kids!
Today we would call you a 'Yoruba man'!
But you're actually an ''Igbo man''!
THERE ARE LITERALLY MILLIONS OF YOU IN THIS POSITION RIGHT NOW.
IE your ancestors of just 150 to 300 years ago were immigrants from a totally different region to where you are now,.
GO AND DO A DNA TEST AND YOU WILL BE SHOCKED as a ''proud Yoruba man'' to learn that your great-great-grandad was an immigrant from Nnewi or Sokoto.
And YOU, Mr ''Proud Igbo man''.
GO AND DO A DNA TEST to find out where you really come from, ie your LINEAGE.
You will be shocked that you are actually from Oyo State or Kwara.
Or even from Sierra Leone or Congo!
Or holy of holies, descended from an 18th century Fulani herdsman!
Today an Igbo family can decide to migrate to Ibadan, and not bother learning to speak Yoruba for several generations, and they'll be fine, since we can all speak English.
But it was not like that in pre-colonial Nigeria.
You HAD to learn the language, and adopt the culture of your new abode, as a matter of survival.
So you true identity was your LINEAGE, not the language you were speaking at any point in time.
If LANGUAGE was what identified you in the past, that means you could be born Igbo, and by your teenage years be a Yoruba person, and by old age, an Hausa man, depending on your migratory path.
So of course it wasn't language that we identified ourselves by.
IT WAS THE EUROPEAN COLONIALISTS that created these language-based blocs, and falsely claimed that you were of the ''Igbo tribe''.
Of the ''Yoruba tribe''.
Of the ''Hausa tribe''.
It's all NONSENSE.
Why did they do it?
So that they could create large blocs of DIVISION among you, their subjects.
So that you could remain DISUNITED, in RIVALRY, and thus kept too busy fighting one another to challenge their authority.
If you are a TRIBALIST today, you are simply an ignorant colonial creation.
An ignoble, pitiful colonial caricature.
Go do a DNA geneology test, to find out where you're really from.
The 'native' language you speak today means a big fat ZERO.
You are making sense!
For example ,most Ogbomoso people are actually of Tapa Lineage!
Also,Onitsha people who are actually Ile-Ife origin!
malali: Who else has noticed the timing of all these Kano Emirate tussles?
Just as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks one year in office, with very little progress to show and no relief for the common man from his numerous policies, suddenly, multiple dramas have emerged:
Sanusi versus Ado Bayero featuring Abba Soyinka versus Peter Obi featuring Reno NIGERIANS, DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!! IT'S ALL A PLOY.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should come out and tell us why Nigerians are still suffering despite all the policies he has implemented.
turmacs: That man is trying to prove stubborn, if not what did he go back to kano state to do again?
If to say Nigeria was a country that truely wanted to move forward, na to scrap all these monarchs and send them and their linage on international exile. All of them from oni of ife, oba of benin, olu of warri, obi of onitsha, oba of Lagos, Olu of Ibadan, emir of kano, emir of illorin. All of them are part the of the reason this country will remain like this. We suppose don pass this level. A country as diverse as Nigeria can not work with such things.
Anyways, what do i know? 🤷♀️
Guys you won't believe these were made by Artificial intelligence (AI)
I asked AI to show me what animals might look like if evolution never happened
Onitsha has more affinity to Benin than Lagos but Benin and others don't even care because Onitsha has no glory to want to claim.
But Lagos wey be say Benin just colonized at some point,not as if they founded the place is being dragged left and right!
And when people talk about Lagos being owned by Britain,Again lack of glory to want to claim from Enugu,port Harcourt and kaduna has made people not to bring the fact that the 3 cities are the only three cities incorporated and founded by Britain in Nigeria. Britain met Lagos,Kano,Onitsha,Aba and Ibadan as thriving cities!
well, welcome on board bro. And may God keep u till the end. the first rule in christianity is never let peoples opinion guide your decisions. When u got saved, u made Jesus ur Lord. He is the only One to tell you if anything is right or wrong. If u are unsure, ask Him to show you and He will, Cos in this forum, some people will say using spray is sinful.others will say theres nothing wrong and u'll end up getting more confused than when u started the thread. So my advice? Read ur Bible and let God thru His Word explain to you the things you dont understand. Goodluck!
Freebills12: All I have been hearing is Jagaban is the master planner but all I have seen is a selfish man. As a master planner the first he could have done is unite the south, and you can't do it without supporting an Igbo president. Pick your man from igbo extraction, rally support for him, the north will not find the ground to demand for president in 2023. The Yorubas play into their game, you can't have president from 1999-2007, vice president from 2014-2023 and then demand for president in 2023, of course the north will also find justification to contest.
HitlerWasRight: These people have no single functioning brain cells...
As in,they called him all sort of name in 2014 and they didn't want him as king
They did the same thing for AMBODE.
Their emotions revolve round TINUBU.
If Jesus christ appeared and endorse TINUBU and APC today,they will denounce Jesus christ.
And if Muhammad SAW appear and declare hatred for TINUBU They will claim Muhammad was the one that was actually crucified for their sin and not Jesus christ
olisaEze: The deed is already done, their historic hate & bigotry against their fellow countrymen exposed. After tearing down investments, they’re wondering why foreign investors are shy of them …..madness! . Big Pharma, relocated back to home countries. TotalEnergies $6 billion deepwater project, relocated to Angola. The Arabs that live & breathe investments want nothing to do with the first Muslim-Muslim govt of Nigeria! The Lagos that was neither designed nor built by the Yoruba, is slowly being unraveled by the Yoruba while the rest of the country looks on. Politics of hate has never brought prosperity to anyone. Just take a look at the middle-eastern nations that have been focused on antisemitism foreign policies, the Jews keep developing while they have remained on a steady course back to the dark ages!
Nackzy: lol, I just feel he's love by Nigerians and also he can deliver from how he talks and his views about reforms in the government, cutting government cost and all that, i am not saying he's perfect as long as he's human, rather than include atiku, tinubu, buhari in that list I'd rather put Peter obi there
You Mean,instead of including Atiku his mentor? 😆
OBI is a thief like his mentor ATIKU.
He has never distant himself from that rogue because he is a rogue like him
