If he's really interested in the welfare of the Igbo, then he should support Obi. After all you've said it yourself, he's educated and a good man. BAT should heed the call of his kin, the afenifere and support Obi to show his true interest in the welfare of Nigeria.

I have never heard of anyone defecting to Labor Party. Nobody wants to labor in vain with Biafrans.

Because they won't thrive in a non-corrupt environment.

...and Hope uzodinma said the poor turn out of supporters at the apc rally in enugu yesterday was as a result of the fuel scarcity!
Even the ones that came for the rally have blocked the Apc mobilizer at his home because he refused to pay them!
@Thinkam.....my challenge/bet is still on!
You say Obi will not get up to 50k votes in the entire south east...No worry,put your money if e sure for you!
If Obi gets 1million and above,you give me 5million....If he gets 4.5 million and above,you give me 10 million! No be to dey shalaye up and down!

Lol... The vote BAT will get from Enugu will be as mute as the rented crowd. They should keep playing, rally attendees are open for business. Hahaha.

Edusouls:
Chai Enugu fine abeg, the atmosphere is too peaceful and lively, one of the most serene place in Nigeria, what made Enugu so cool, Can anyone answer?

It's the soul of the eastern region (SE/SS), that's what was obtainable before Nigeria got balkanized.
Also it was the capital of the old Anambra State following the creation of Anambra and Imo states after the civil war. It has retained it's nobility and civility and anyone from SE and SS are happy to call it their home today.

oyebanji44:
Anambra people really suffered under

obi's deceit, bad faith , misdirection and mis..governorship

He was saving money while his people could barely eat


Obi can't win....

Lmao... The votes BAT will get in SE will be as mute as the rented crowd.

gimakon:
Let me not say anything. These politicians are the same thing oga. Dont come here and talk with annoyance like the afforementioned is owing you in a way. He likes his Obi, You like Tinubu. Both are not saints. All are sinners including Atiku. He was a custom officer with my father, I know and know things I wont say here.

Lets not be worried lots about politicians, but I am sure, Tinubu wont do much. Not supporting anyone here sha.

FYI PO has said countless times that he's sold his stake in Next to his brother. His brother bought him off completely. He has got absolutely nothing to do with Next going back at least 3 years ago.
Cheers.

For people with graphics editing knowledge, we do this alot. We download pictures, background, and vectors from google and different site. Edit it it to create another graphical representation. I don't see the reason for uproar here.

Dele momodu once engage the use of graphics editor to edit APC flags and banner from Onikan stadium into PDP banners. And he presented it as 'Live in Eagle square' ...

PDAPC. Birds of a feather.

Indispensable85:
What I have observed in almost all the polls is that Nigerians still prefer APC to PDP. This is striking!

Not APC really but it reflects respect for the zoning agreement. If PDP wins trust me the instability will go thermonuclear!
How can a northerner succeed a northerner, the same issue with the tinubu ticket, how can you exclude christians, especially with everything that has happened in this current administration?

Creamypie:
Make this man stop to dey publicize his Church activities, and totally stop all these anointing on church Wrong impression s could be assumed.

Some have put their trust in money, he's chosen to put his trust in God.
The structure continues...

undisputedKOC:
Yes, I think she's right because her husband Ojucrook was the biggest godfather in Anambra politics who handpicked the political fraudster Peter Obi and made him Anambra governor twice by selection not election.

After Peter Obi failed woefully in his 1st term, Ojucrook the godfather of Anambra politics used emotional blackmail on Anambra people begging them to grant him 1 last political wish so that APGA won't be disgraced and overcome by PDP. But at the end of it all, Obi failed woefully again in his second term as Anambra governor.

Obi rubbiahed Ojucrook APGA legacy, used and dump Ojucrook party in the mud and went to PDP. That was how Obi ended Ojucrook as a godfather because Anambra politicians and people stopped taking him serious or granting him any political wishes again.

And that's when Ojucrook people in APGA placed a curse on Peter Obi that turned him into a political vagabond roaming from one party to another searching for power in vain. The Ojucrook curse is what makes Peter Obi sound like an slowpoke that sells used spare parts in Alaba any time he speaks

Lol... Delusions of grandeur!
He failed yet his achievements in APGA have cemented the party as popular choice of the gubernatorial seat in Anambra.

He failed yet APGA unseated a sitting PDP governor in Imo state in 2011.

He failed yet APGA won Abia in 2015 but was rigged out the Osun way (by APC in 2019) by PDP in 2015.

He failed yet the people he served has defied every person be it clergy, monarch or the wealthy class to pitch their tent with him.

He failed yet even his enemies dare not mention anything negative about him.

The fear of Obi is the beginning of wisdom for the PDAPC.

alfredilly:
You guys are hypocrite. Throughout this administration, you Igbo spare no good words for Osinbajo. You called him slaves to Fulani. All other Yoruba in APC administration are painted with undignifying term. Fashola, Gbajabiamila are all enabler of an incompetent administration according to you. Recently before the APC primary, you all castigated and negatively trended Osinbajo for saying he intend to continue where Buhari stop. Now you trying to turn around by pledging your love for these people.

No one called him a slave to Fulani, rather people and not just Igbos were disappointed with his silence over certain events. No one ever personally derided his person.
The adminstration is clearly and glaringly incompetent, if you could refer to GEJs adminstration as incompetent then this administration is beyond incompetent, it's a monumental disaster.
During the APC primary we supported his courage to challenge the norm contrary to your assertion.
As for the rest, I won't condescend myself to your level by towing tribal lines.
Fact is that BAT is incompetent physically and mentally, not to mention morally decripit!
Know this and know peace.

alfredilly:
Ondo is for BAT. Obi is an online conspiracy of Igbo youth and any Yoruba who join the Obidient bandwagon is nothing but a vaive fool and a bastard. Everywhere on social media, you will never see a single Igbo supporting Tinubu, save one called Ada Anambra and Chigozirin Ahmed. You can't even tell if lthey are real Igno. That's how to understand conspiracy. They trend Obi because of their hatred for Tinubu who is a modern day unifier of Yorubas

Because he is unfit for the job morally, in capacity, in character and in commitment.
Bring out Osinbajo, Akinwumi Adesina and other bright Yoruba minds and you'll see them get the support BAT is not getting.
Tribalism is only allowed on one condition, that you bring your best minds!
Even BAT himself has admitted severally that all he did was get the best people to work for him, we are seeking to employ the best not employing a mediocre to then go about recruiting the best.

lhordspy:
With all due respect in the world, i think Prof. Pat Utomi is high on some cheap drugs.

Just look at him making references to South-Korea political settings just like a clueless Peter Obi will always do when trying to dodge and maneuver his way cunningly when been faced with discussions far above his intellectual capacity.

Firstly, the main aim of political debate is to educate, and elucidiate your plans for a greater country and stress more on why people should vote for you.

But in Nigeria here where we have a very silly journalist and supposedly debate organisers or interview host conniving with opposition parties to plan your downfall. Throwing cheap subs in a very obvious manner at a specific candidate.

A very smart man like Asiwaju Tinubu will rather spend his time making political moves, strategising, meeting the main voters and discussing his plans with them RATHER than honouring a mediocre comedy show of a debate which was poorly coordinated, where 80% of the viewers will be the same people sitting at the front of their TV on Election day and on their phones gossiping away about the election rather than going out to vote.

Elections are not won by jumping on every interview or debate to seek public validations but by meeting the real voters directly through town hall meetings and engagements, telling them your plans face-to-face.

But he didn't mention anyone, why assume BAT? Lmao...

HeadNigga:
Osinbajo had to acknowledge the local government chairman before he hesitantly acknowledged Tinubu's presence. Star boy knows the man is not fit to run this country

That was exactly what BAT did to him at the presidential primaries.

owobokiri:
Kwankwaso is a terrible bigot.
Just go back to his interviews especially during the Jonathan years.
Very terrible bigot

Even quite recently when Obi went to seek partnership, he thought himself too big and insulted Igbos saying they are novices when it comes to politics. And he's kept it up many times trying to make Obis quest a tribal thing even most recently at the Arise TV presidential townhall debate.

LegendHero:
What about Lagos own?

Na still one Ibo man head the Lagos campaign team.

Before Peter Obi, we have labor party in Lagos with their structure but Peter Obi took over and trampled on the structure to go bring an Ibo man to head Lagos campaign committee for LP.

Thought Lagos was accommodating, or did it change now that BAT is contesting?

Erickymania:
I totally agree with you OP. Honestly, this debate/ town hall meeting or whatever they call it is not worth it at all. How can you orgernize such a shoddy program and expect our main presidential candidates of a whole Nigeria to participate? This is the biggest county in Africa for God's sake. I don't blame Tinubu & Atiku at all. They are bigger than this nonsense Arise TV is doing. This is suppose to be debate for Peter Obi and other presidential candidates looking for cheap validation.

They are bigger than the citizenry? Bigger than the people they are asking for employment? Bigger than the large population that tuned in and looking to see them defend what they have on their CV?

seunmsg:
Adebanjo has been exposed as a bastard Yoruba man. He is simply serving the interest of his Igbo mother. I’m glad his treachery has been found out.

He has been kicked out as Acting leader of Afenifere and that’s it. He should go back to his Lekki home and lick his betrayal wound sorrowfully.

Lol... I thought you always prided yourself on the idea that yorubas are detribalised and accommodating. So if the mother is Igbo and the father is Yoruba that doesn't make him Yoruba enough?
Was he Yoruba enough prior to endorsing Obi?

XerXers:
Yes, small APGA uprooted almighty PDP with obasanjo's aso rock doctor Chris Ngige, after 3years legal tussle

And did same in Imo as well, unseating an incumbent governor, Ikedi Ohakim of the PDP at a time rigging was rife and PDP held sway

Igboslayer:
He hehe, una funny sha.

Hehehe now you've diverted when confronted with the failure that is BAT compared to Obi in their performance showing he outperformed both BAT and Fashola.

As for the school fees brouhaha, that's another lie you lots like to brandish about. Here are links to the true information.

Igboslayer:
Wike is woked and wicked…WWW
…Ask any Zombidients what exactly was Obi achievements in Anambra state. They will come with insults. Below is 2012 comments by Igbos about OBI…they know him very well, how they are now calling him messiah baffles me.

See attached.

Kagd10:
I love that he said "he would have" which means Peter Obi couldn't.

Meanwhile, the fool forgot that Tinubu worked with 600mil igr, coupled with Lagos allocation withheld yet Tinubu ensured Lagos thrived and improved Lagos' economy to what it is today.

Stop spreading lies. No one withheld Lagos allocation. He (Tinubu) created new LGAs without house of assembly approval thus the funds for those new LGAs were never paid but Lagos still received funds for the already existing ones that were already in existence.

Imagine if every other state were to start creating new LGAs and demand more allocation what do you think will happen? Food for thought.

March1117:
Leave this talk abeg; I too sure say Osinbajo go vote competent Peter Obi on the D day

He actually made no such statement. If you read between the lines you'll see the height of deception in that statement. YO has his own official communication channels yet it's the Tinubu campaign spokesperson that is releasing a statement on 'his behalf'.

In a tweet, he (Ngelale and not Yemi Osinbajo) wrote: “It must be noted that in a meeting today, H.E. VP @ProfOsinbajo has encouraged all OVP staff — who were privileged to be appointed into the @officialABAT 2023 Presidential Campaign Council — to give their best to the important effort without hindrance. Kindly ignore anything contrary. ”

Upliftment101:
Nonsense. See mumu wey we de pity for. Person wey we wan help no wan help himself. President Obi go jail all of una

Read between the lines, he did not issue the statement, rather it was issued 'for him'.
That statement is the peak of deception from APC.

alizma:
I didn't insult you o, please check my post again. I only said you should understand the topic before you comment. He said he will remove import restriction and in your defense you said he will TAX goods that can be produced locally or so, whereas tax is part of import restriction which he had already said he will remove. That was why I said you should check google first. That is not an insult because I do the same too when I am not too sure if I understand the subject of discussion.

You clearly misunderstood my response.
First bit was me saying he is right to remove import restrictions (in order words ban) on certain produce like rice for example. Now some people like Reno will argue that it'll harm local producers.

In the second bit I tried to allay those fears. By slapping tarrifs on them instead, you'll generate more revenue to use in supporting the local producers.

Win win. That's the standard policy that applies internationally. The US did it for their car manufacturers in the 70s, China did it and keeps doing it, US under Trump used it yet again to support their local producers in agriculture and certain technologies.

alizma:
Sorry to say this, but always make sure you understand the topic of discussion before you make your contribution. From your response, it's crystal clear that you don't understand what import restriction means. Please go and check google, I believe you will have something different to say after that

You asked a question and I answered, no need retorting to insult.
Restriction loosely defined means a limiting condition or measure, especially a legal one. Depending on situation can also man temporary ban with a specified limit or non.
Example, rice importation restrictions can be a temporal or permanent ban. Border restrictions can mean a ban on imports (or ingress) or exports (or egress), like was applied under the current administration.
Having made the definitions clear, do you now understand my submission of do you need further breakdown?
Would you like me to do a juxtaposition of Obis policy using previous examples with the current administration policy and how woeful it's been?

alizma:
Mr see good, tell us how removing import restriction will favour local manufacturers, just tell use in a simple language, in fact tell us in pidgin English.

By taxing imports that can be made here higher to level the playing field. More revenue for the government to use in supporting local production capacity and know how.

LeoDeKing:
Online polls before primaries

And both would've won it not for money and pressure on delegates.
Ayu was paid 1 billion naira by certain individual.
BAT intimidated everyone, everyone, from the president to governor's to give him their vote or he'll destroy everything. After that, they all protected their interest.
That poll you were mocking represented the actual will of the people and both APC and PDP made a big error in not respecting the people's will and wish.

Rapuru14:
The magic Obi did in Anambra in ALL sectors is better experienced than imagined. Obi made me love politics and political power.

Bulk of Pro-Tinubu Likes here are manipulated, don't fall for it!

I thought I was the only one to notice that. All of a sudden in the last 7 days it looked inflated.

Kagd10:
It was Ngige and UNN lecturer who first said Peter Obi was D pass graduate but now I can see they were trying to be considerate because after Peter Obi could only present a forged certificate, I can see that he didn't even graduate from the university but dropped out.

So letter heads and template for companies and organizations remain same over the years?
Why not compare the sample of his certificate against another one from the same time, why compare it against one from 2015?
Is building design, car designs, cabinets, tv everything you can think of in the 80s and 2000s same? SMH

Obamaofusa:
lol
Can you even face me in intelectual discuss?
You are a little brighter than other Obi urchins sha.
Can you open a thread that the 2 of us can discuss our candidates intellectually without throwing tantrums?

But wait!
You are shivering just because I asked for statistics...kikikikikiki
Goldfish has no hiding place.
Obi is a calamity if we look at his antecedents but a little mindlifting in integrity.Still lower in that aspect to Buhari.
Unfortunately,integrity only cannot lift Nigeria now.
Ask Buhari.
In Obi's case,small Integrity(which Obi has) with bad omen equals calamity.
