This people behind this thing really want to deal with Tinubu

Freshtruth:
When Asked To Step Down For Obi, Atiku Reportedly Said: ‘Let Obi First Pay His Nomination Form Money’ – ADC source”

For many political observers, the reported defection of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) just days after joining the party with much fanfare came as a surprise.

According to The Nation, close associates of both politicians claimed the development was not unexpected, saying there had been tensions beneath the surface long before the move.

It was noted that their association in the ADC was not the first time both men had found themselves in the same political camp. In fact, they had previously worked together during the 2019 presidential election, when Obi served as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

At the time, Atiku was said to have chosen Obi over several other prominent figures who were reportedly considered for the vice-presidential ticket, including former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, former Central Bank of Nigeria governor and then Anambra State governor Prof. Charles Soludo, former Minister of Agriculture Akinwumi Adesina, and former AMCON Managing Director, Mr. Chike Obi.

The Atiku–Obi ticket, however, went on to lose the election, continuing Atiku’s earlier string of unsuccessful presidential bids. Despite the loss, sources claimed that the fallout from the partnership was not solely about the electoral defeat, but also about internal disagreements during the campaign.

According to party insiders, Atiku was allegedly displeased with Obi’s approach to campaign funding, accusing him of being reluctant to contribute financially and instead depending largely on Atiku to shoulder the cost of their joint presidential ambition.

The sources further alleged that this experience left a lasting impression on Atiku and shaped his perception of Obi in subsequent political dealings.

In light of this background, an ADC chieftain who spoke on the condition of anonymity claimed that Atiku’s reaction to Obi’s entry into the ADC was one of scepticism, suggesting that he believed from the outset that Obi’s presence in the party would not lead to a successful or stable political partnership, given their previous experience together.

The official said, “A lot of people know about Obi’s self-entitlement mentality, but they don’t know how serious it is. Do you know that Obi’s stingy nature was the sore point between him and Atiku in ADC? Atiku already knew him from their working relationship in 2019.

“So, the moment some people approached him with the proposal that he should step down for Obi in the contest for the party’s presidential ticket, the first thing he told them was to ask Obi to first of all put down money for the party’s nomination form.”

The source alleged that Atiku made the demand because he was aware of Obi’s reluctance to spend money, adding that Obi’s subsequent actions appeared to confirm that concern. The source further claimed that Obi left the party quickly, before anyone could react, and moved to the NDC.

The source also stated that the main challenge the NDC might face if Obi became its presidential candidate would be getting him to commit financial resources to campaign activities…See More

This guy know how to manipulate south east people.

That was how he claimed WIKE forced peter OBI out of PDP and they believed him and started hating wike.Was it wike that forced peter OBI out of ADC too?

But you also never supported him in 2023 and he won


You really overrate yourself

kingbee90:
GEJ should please join the race inorder to complete the remaining 4 years of the south & I bet you he'll win due to his past records.

That Togolese man tinubu Amoda Ogunlere Yekini has proven beyond reasonable doubt to be a FAILURE ❌ & the worst president our beloved country has ever had.

Funny

Gagare1:
Thank you so much Sir, I appreciate your advice and will follow it.

You are a great husband with solid foundation and wisdom beyond your years. Kudos to your parents, they did a very good job raising you. If my daughter marry someone like you i will be very proud. You make very very good decisions and protect your family like you should. Some old men struggle with it making decisive decisions like you.

I will however advise you to give him a call and air your grievance in a respectful way. From Uni to present. Then slowly fade the relationship by calling and talking to him less. Dont visit again or take your family around there.

FOLLOW THIS!
LET HIM REALIZE WHAT HE DID WRONG!

bentenny:
How is your comment in any way related to the thread?
Or Are you Cubana PR?

You mean you aint smart enough to connect the dots

Peter OBI supporters that like creating their owm happiness


People that assummed buhari died and he was replaced by jubril of sudan and started jubilating.

They are the same people that believed Atiku rigged peter OBI to become second,Tinubu then in turn rigged Atiku to come first

SmartPolician:
Because you are on top, you will always be the topic. Peter Obi is being talked about more than even the snatch-and-run president

Mad man is sweet to watch and discuss but to have as child na problem.

Antoeni:
Imagine The Name Of The Returning Officer, Mr Dan Islam, , Nigeria And Fanaticism, Even Indigines Of Mecca , Saudi Arabia, Medina, Don't Add or Answer ISLAM in Their Names

Both you dont have issues when christians in the south bear "christian".

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

Which of Tinubu policies will peter OBI reverse to reduce the hardship.
I will only vote for him if he plan to return paying subsidy and defend naira OR keep those two and make minimum wage 500k with a well planned policy to curb inflation.
He has never promised any,non of them has promised that,why should I vote against Tinubu.
Intelligent people see,when they cry!

Then you started with electricity,No Nigerian president can electrify all the country.Electricity has been devolved to states.How many states have keyed into that sector to produce electricity for their people?

Once again,IF ANY OF CANDIDATE PROMISE TO START PAYING SUBSIDY ON FUEL,MAY BE LIKE PAY 1000 per liter to maintain it as 300naira and start defending naira,may be also pay 1200 to maintain dollar at 200 naira ,I WILL VOTE FOR THAT PERSON.IF THERE IS NO CONCRETE PLAN TO DO THAT,WHAT WE DESCRIBE AS HARDSHIP UNDER TINUBU WILL JUST BECOME OUR NORMAL WAYS OF LIFE LIKE IT WAS UNDER OBJ.


When OBJ came to power,petrol jump from 11naira it was to 65-100 naira when OBJ was living.That 65naira became a normal price to is all through yaradua regime.

BrickandLace:
There is no reason.

Anyone who wishes to deceive themselves is free to.

There is no reason.

Tenses:
This country is funny sha.

We just dey dash political offices to unqualified people and still expect them to perform.

tinubu is a shining example of a failed leader.

Peter OBI will not be president

NaMe4:
In addition to eyeing the Oil which was only discovered in the Coastal regions three years after he made that speech.

Adaka Boro proclaimed the Republic of Niger Delta in February 1966 shortly after the 1st coup. He was incarcerated and sentenced to death by the same individuals who declared Biafra a year later and attempted to drag the Oil-rich Niger Delta along.

They are still doing this things today but most people dont know.

The same set of people that call others fulani slaves for supporting a northerners are jubilating over kwankwaso alliance today and nobody call them names.
I think God is stylishly punishing them by denying them leadership of this country

flokii:
The real definition of "betrayer"

Fast forward to present day, his ignorant kiths and their offsprings are busy blaming Awolowo and Yorubas for not allowing them secede when Azikiwe and the Igbos in 60s' made the laws that criminalized secession.

They want to change rules of the game after match has started.. cunning bunch.

Those people are smarter than us.
Till today,most omoluabi still never get sense!

Moroccoguy:
Is there any meaningful things in peter Obi's head that anyone can copy.

That was how they claimed Tinubu copied OBI manifesto despite the fact that TINUBU Manifestoe came earlier

givedemwotowoto:
Nigerians want to try other politicians, there’s nothing wrong with that. We understand your desperation because this will affect your candidate.

na so u dey fail exams

SmartPolician:
All politicians are not the same. Time and again, some governors have demonstrated to be better than others. This isn't even up for debate.

na so u dey fail exams

Anybody that thinks one politician is different from others in term of integrity in Nigeria needs his brain examined

Yeah

He studied MARKET TO MARKET ECONOMY in havard.

Weere

Farmsolution:
This is long overdue. The state has the resources capacity and manpower to do this if they prioritize their people first ahead of politics. Only mediocres celebrate this kind of achievement. Multiple contactors can solve this challenges within a year, if we are really serious and we put our mind to it. There is still more work to do .

China where the coaches are bought from don't wait for ages to build infrastructure that will make life easy for its citizens. Comparing Lagos with others states in Nigeria is the lowest considered its IGR , population advantage and recent bogus federal allocations .

Lagos should be competing with the whole of multiple state's economy all combined.

But it is well, le t me just comment my reserve before their political hallelujah boys will come out now.

You can only compare Lagos with other states.
You just a yan dust.
Lagos is not even the richest state in the country.
The richest state in the country is bayelsa and most south south states because they have higher budget per capital.Divide their annual budget by their population and see how poor lagos see.Lagos is still trying for undertaking such a project despite the average wealth compare to states like delta and bayelsa

Kelvinnchucks:
Funny how Nigerian doctors act like they specialise in every area of the human body when all y'all know how to diagnose is malaria

Doctors learnt from past experiences of others that were sick. So I see no reason why asking for help from people who've experienced such is a problem. A doctor doesn't know everything even tho you might want to make it seem so and relying on a "Nigerian doctor" is the same as going to church for healing.

This one is just wallowing in Ignorance

EmekaBlue:
Sometimes the real answers/solutions can be found in the comment section even better than the physical diagnosis you go for... You can meet someone with exactly same type of situation/condition online and he/she prescribe to you how finally he/she found a solution to that issue after hovering all around medical hubs

THIS IS IGNORANCE AT ITS PEAK!

Medicine is not common sense,Its knowledge!

Yemmysworld91:
When I'm not happy, I take a stroll; the moment I enter the streets for Nigeria or enter social media, I will see something that will make me happy and take away my pains
Our being religious has also been helpful. We keep hope alive irrespective of the difficulties.
I love my people. Great people bad leaders

Na that RELIGION!...GOD IS OUR SOURCE OF HOPE.

If na the entertainment,USA has a more thriving entertainment industry

LagosOrigin:
What has tinubu created aside touts and never-do-wells like himself

Lekki free trade zone is the Africa fastest growing industrial cluster today.
This what the Godfather of peter OBI has to say

Memphis357:
While the wealth Tinubu has been spreading in Lagos every 4 years is Rice, Maggi, vegetable oil, Indomie noodles, Spaghetti and 3k.... and you're OK with that, abi?

Lekki free trade zone is the Africa fastest growing industrial cluster today.
This what the Godfather of peter OBI has to say

Omenlon:
This man said he has a better track record than Peter obi as governors, true or false?

TRUE.

The best governors in peter OBI set were

FASHOLA
AMAECHI
AKPABIO.

Nobody knew peter OBI as a performer then,I sweae with almighty God!

All this whitewashing of him as one lee kuan yoi started when his brothers observe his rising political profile and swiftly stepped in to package him as been different.Clowns!

9jatriot:
Amaechi can confidently list out the things he did in Rivers State and projects as minister but you see that lamba king that was governor of Anambra State, yes that one that is begging and swearing by all the gods he can think to be allowed to be an OTP, that one can only refer to what he saw in Indonesia and China but never what he himself did while in power.

Instead of that fraud to specifically refer to what he did,he will ask people to go and verify,but he refer people to what he didnt do in China,egypt,bangladesh and paskistan.

And when we decide to verify and see nothing,his supporters will start whitewashing him.

AMI3:
Now u have mentioned all those things.
My brother I want to tell u without any reasonable that major problem of Nigeria can be managed if the money can be properly managed.

There are a lot of natural resources that government do not even care about because of oil and do u know how much of our natural resources is being stolen everyday?

Do you know how much that people steal in this country every day?

Look at our legislators do u know how much they do go home with for one sitting?

Do you know how much the past and present government put into the refinery without any tangible out come

We were in this country when PDP collected Abacha loot what did the use the money for?

During Buhari and this present government how much have they collected from politicians can they account for it because everybody is coming to take their own share and sale the narrative to the gullible that the problem of Nigeria can not be solved.



We have ICPC, EFCC, and we are using NIN and BVN.

What are their usefulness and what has this government done to make them effective because there was a reason why all sectors was created.

Finally, our problem start from our electoral system if we can get that right no politicians will be messing up with the electorates.

You are just being emotional

maestroferddi:
Oga, we have no time for negative defeatism...

Reasonable people know that Peter Obi was an excellent governor and that is enough.

You don't expect me to waste my time trying to wake a person pretending to be asleep...

So suit yourself...

Most of your people are unreasonable be that

All of you are EMILOKAN.

That person that had the courage to voice it out is a more sincere person.

That Yoruba word dey always pain Tinubu enemies gan an.

ITS MY TURN wouldnt have been painful as EMI LO LAN ....

The more his enemies try to mock that word,the more they indirectly evoke Yorubas hatred
