I can't wait for Malema's ideology to Grace this Country.

Real Power to the People

OasisX:
Peter Obi rounded off his campaign rally in Lagos Today. Congratulations to him and entire Obidients Family.

Peter Obi gives us 3rd force we hoped to have in 2019. He did amazingly fantastic - from underdog to a real, solid force.

I salute him and resilience, doggedness, belief of all of his Supporters. Whatever happens at the poll in 2 weeks time, he is a Winner already, not necessarily he wins the poll.

Best of luck to him.

I think rally still dey tomorrow o. But the info might be wrong.

And you are right! He is a winner already, no matter the result.

There is this Ghanaian I watch on YouTube, Sheldon. He loves what is happening in Nigeria. There is no time he doesn't mention it on his channel.

[color=royalblue]I understand the bolded, but it will always be your choice (and mine) , but it doesn't speak for everybody

Na only him know him relationship with his father. So we cannot decide what is right or wrong to use.

But from the tweet i saw, he was referring to his father as NOBODY, compared to Seun that had FELA.

Maybe I am wrong sha.[/color]

You might be very true though. And that's the problem about the internet. We all go get different views.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Not trying to delve into the Seun and Peter wahala, but what if his dad was truly a NOBODY?

We both know that the context of the NOBODY meant his dad had no fame, leverage or wealth.

Does he mean he is a nobody, because of fame, leverage or wealth?

You see that context, you can't explain it for Peter. He is the only one that know the vivid example of his father being a Nobody.

It is even all wrong calling the late father like that in any context. Person wey fit use condom cage the sperm. No matter the level of anything I attain, my father (no matter who he is or is behaviour) is not a nobody.

Out of a black coalpot cometh Solid white Pap. Without the black coalpot, there cannot be white pap.

Just like everything that has been built this electioneering time.

Everything built on Lies, Emptiness and Shout. Everybody involved in the election process. Tinubu o, Atiku o, Obi o. People wey wan vote set, them no go come out, e go con clear. Gnashing of teeth and wailing

Lies! By Otem's grace, come 4 years time I will be in Obodo Oyinbo digging up posts just like living President.

Something I have learnt on nairaland. 4 years go reach one day one day.

Peter threw his dad under the bus and rediculed him on social media oo in comparison to Fela to rate his Legendary status,wetin most of us here cant do to our dads...What more can you ask and how did he disrespect fela

Are you taking traffic fishing and low-iq blogs serious like gistbloggers or Peter and omotayo personally told you this? Are you roping the whole family into this "Tribalist" talk for Peter's opinion?

Brymo apologized for his Tribalist and hateful tweet not his political takes which seun used as a shade...

Your first post about brymo was Jan8, long after it had happened and to tag him and psquare as all tribalist and a response to someone who said tinubu was playing tribal politics...There was no one-off condemnation from you when brymo tweeted it,days and weeks after...But you jumped on psquare,roped Peter's opinions as their families

Walahii,no one cares if you don't vote, that is your personal business...

Do you know the kind of insecurity you experienced as a child to call your father a nobody? Lemao. A NOBODY, because you want to pass a stupid message that is not valid. To bring it to the African context, YOU ARE A BASTARD, if you can come here to call your father a nobody just to prove a stupid point to someone that didn't talk to you in the first place.

You will think everybody has an IQ of a jellyfish to dey do follow follow like some of you here. And you can continue to lie to yourself that the lady wasn't given wahala. Videos upon Videos online. Even if you were not born then, the least you can do is search, and get a glimpse https://www.nairaland.com/4643979/peter-okoye-paul-insults-wife

And to the Brymo palava. Did Seun curse or insulted Igbos? If NO, why should he apologize? If faced Obidients head on without being tribalistic. He doesn't need to apologize if he doesn't want to!

Even if I spoke against Brymo for the first time today, the fact remains that I called him a tribalist straight on! I have a life outside here, that is why I take time on some issues and I don't comment on some issues. And yes, for Peter to call a northerner 'stupid Aboki', he is a fvcking Tribalist just like Brymo.

You said I roped Psquare?. You are so Dumb. So so. Days after, Weeks after? Please can someone tell me the date of the Brymo wahala? Was it not the new year?

MODIFIED: YOU ARE AN IDIIOT TO EVEN TELL ME I CALLED OUT BRYMO OUT DAYS LATER. The picture attached is Brymo insulting a whole tribe in Jan 8, I am 100% sure, I called Brymo out the same day. Once again, YOU ARE A VERY FOOLISH IDIIOT THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE ENGAGED.

Donjazet2:
Your first sentence is a lie. There is no absolute in this world. There are very different levels indeed to theft.
Indeed every single one of us have stolen something at one point in our lives. Be it meat from Mama's pot, be it our classmates pen and pencil in junior school, be it small change from mummy's purse to use and buy buns and sweet during break time, we've all been theives at various times, but what we haven't done is gone into a bank with guns and stolen money from vault or stopped travellers on a night bus and dispoossed them of their belongings or been like Darlington, dubiously emptying foreigners accounts.

So again, "theives are not theives". They're is a variance.
And there is no perfect political candidate in any part of the world. You make do with what is in front of you and you have to, because you cannot escape the consequences of their actions. They shape your society.

I once gave an analogy here. Choosing a presidential candidate is like a bride choosing her husband.
If you ask every single girl, what type of his husband she desires, she commonly list these qualities, tall, dark, handsome, rich, God-fearing, loving and compassionate.
Except, it's almost an anomaly to see a person who would meet all those criteria she has listed out, and In a scenario where she has 3 viable choices for marriage, she has to sieve to know who amongst those 3 vaible choices possesses more of those qualities she has listed out.

Putting Obi side by side with tinubu and atiku, one can clearly see the BETTER option. Healthy, intelligent, capable, humble, experienced and compassionate. These are qualities he possesses. More than other candidates. The only positive attribute tinubu currently has, is experience and that's simply just that. Something that Obi too has to an adequate and healthy degree. A deputy chairman of all Nigerian governors is no small feat., Apart from his experience of actual governance of course.

It's foolhardy to say that one won't vote because "all are the same". That's cowardice and surrender laces with ignorance, I'm very sorry to say.

Okay.

Donjazet2:
God please help me to answer this post with great restraint no matter how mind numbing and disingenuous it is. Amen!

I truly hate disingenuity when I see it, when someone sees color red and is calling it yellow.

First of all, how on earth will a Nigerian in this country attempt to downplay the significance of an obi victory?? You mean that labor party, an insignificant party with no single elected politician on any single state winning the presidency will not bear serious implications across the length and breathe of this country?

A campaign fuelled almost entirely by the youths? A campaign severely underfunded. A campaign that is barely 6 months old. You really want us here on this thread to believe that an obi victory is not much different from a tinubu victory?? YOU LIE!

Then to the most egregious point of yours. Any body who attempts in anyway to compare the characters of tinubu and obi is just plain being evil, I'm sorry to say this. It's evil because the blind can see this. The deaf can hear this.

You can see the that the vast difference in quality between both candidates lie in how their supporters sell them. Obi's supporters will tell you that this man, by Nigerian standards is practically a saint. No stories of inflated contracts, no stories of multiple salaries via ghost workers through state civil service, no stories of building substandard infrastructure in order for the state government to reaward that same project for themselves. No accusation of corrupt backroom dealings. The highest issue is that of ethics, investing state money in a company he has shares in, while the state reaps the benefit too. (Note this, the state's money was not misappropriated it didn't vanish into thin air like other states fund, it is still traceable, it is still accessible, NOT SPENT, it was literally being INVESTED, A move that bore significant gains for the state, That this is the only thread that can be pulled shows you just how clean this modern day Nigerin saint is.

Now to compare this with a man who we don't even have the slightest idea about his first 3 decades on this earth! The first verifiable information we have is that this man dropped from the sky and entered a university in Chicago and was then involved in crimes and dealings of the underworld in his foreign country of residence. For God's sake, we are talking about electing a man with criminal affairs and documented criminal records as the head of this country..

Have some fvcking shame. You cannot m, I repeat, YOU CANNOT compare Obi and tinubu as birds of same feather. That's just sacrilege of the highest order.

Talking about decamping.
This is another disingenuous narrative.
In Nigeria, we have politicians who change parties to go to a better party for personal selfish gains. Maybe they lose a primary for a hot seat and then decide to go to a better party that favors them. NOT OBI!

Obi was not seeking any public office when he left apga, Jonathan basically lobbied very hard for Obi to come to PDP and after Obi ensured a smooth primary in apga gubernatorials , he left. Not under acrimonious terms. Jonathan IMMEDIATELY appointed him head of SEC and a key member of the presidential economic management team together with Ngozi okonjo. A position where he rejected the perks of government appointment and fat bonuses. This man is practically a saint I need remind you.

As for leaving PDP, yes he left, but to where?? Was it not on this page where people were mocking such a "foolish" move? I remember donstan in his favorite childish manner, bellowing that Obi would fade into obscurity, I remember even blueray downright criticizing the move, calling him a political neophyte that has effectively ended his political career. So how come now that he has built a gigantic movement and gained frontrunner status with such an insignificant party, he is now being labelled a betrayer?
DISINGENUOUS, my friend.

DonJ, a thief is a thief no matter how little he has stolen. I have Shame or I no No shame, he is a part of the old order. He lobbied, he cried, he begged, he was a governor for 8 years. He doesn't keep his money in Nigeria. He doesn't want his money to be tasked. He is a thief. He is an oppressor.

Till today, he has never spoken about the innocent lives that were lost in the hands of SARS and threw inside the river during his reign as Governor.

There was this road project that he undertook in 2012 and he still chop money. I will tag you to the thread. It can't change anything with you. I am just showing you.

And lastly, I don't need to pray to reply under my cool. I am a Nigerian. You are a Nigerian. If I decide to vote, I have 1 vote, you have 1 vote. Politics no be do or die. What will happen will happen. No get hypertension before February 25.

I have viable reasons why I strongly believe, Obi is part of them. He is not who I am praying Nigerian people see.

Okoye of blessed unknown memory

Same Peter that is married to a Yoruba woman and has no issues in his marriage and with his in-laws,all because he said local shrine and you erased your father's legacy,lmao....

The more you lots wants to sound neutral,you keep giving yourself out and showing your bias......

Where were this advice when brymo said worse things and even the seun said "I no be like brymo ooo,I no dey apologize"

Lool,Neutrals isonu...

Lemaooo. Peter said his father is Unknown. I am just repeating what he said, there is no need to be pained for Peter.

Lmaoo, You said he is married to a Yoruba lady. We were all here and we witnessed the war his family gave the innocent woman. I no even care about him family. Some of us adored FELA. Bringing him to any senile conversation, is a big disrespect to him.

If you are not conversant on the thread, you don't need to jump into conclusion. Search for my name and Brymo. Don't be rash. Brymo was racists, Seun was not. If he doesn't apologize to anyone because of political talks, he is right. It is not anyone's business.

I am not voting. That's the level of much I hate the political sphere. It is a choice. It is not your business.

Donjazet2:
This message is neither here nor there.

When people support a candidate, they don't just support that person but basically what the person's CANDIDACY represents.. and believe you me, that can be a wide disparity.

Trump and Biden can on the surface be just 2 old white dudes who most likely might have even had favorable dealings in the past. Trump even attended Bidens children marriage.

But what their presidency REPRESENTS is totally different, hence the bitter divide between the masses. A trump presidency is a nightmare for liberals and a Biden presidency is a nightmare for conservatives.

American Politics is waayyyyy different from the Nigerian own. Very very different. Trump has never been democrat all his life and Biden also has never been a member of GOP. Both stands for different ideologies.

Bringing that analogy closer to home, Peter obi and tinubu might have been cordial friends before or even now, who knows. But one thing is sure, their CANDIDACY represents 2 totally different things. And it is what they represent that people support vociferously for.

And how does the candidacy of Peter Obi and Tinubu different? You may not want to agree with me, but both of them stand for the same thing. Both of them are big men cheating the Nigerian people. They are oppressors! The only thing different is that, the Youths are supporting Obi, because the current regime have offended us Youths (Especially we southern youths) in different types of way.

A tinubu candidacy is basically an enshrinement of the terrible status quo that has brought Nigeria to it's knees. A signaling of the continuation of the present downward trajectory Nigeria is currently on.

While an obi presidency represents an immense thunderous shake up of the entire political space and consciousness of this country and even beyond it's borders.
I've asked people to just think for a second what truly happens when obi actually wins this election.

Big misconception! Obi doesn't represent any shake. Obi has been a Governor for 8 Years. He has been in 3 different political group. APGA, PDP, Labour. Obi has ate with the Atikus and the Tinubus and He is a thief like them. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY IDEOLOGY! He shared money in 2019 with Atiku just to get a running ticket. He is not a clean slate. He is part and parcel of the old regime we want to topple!

IF HE IS NOT A THIEF, ASK HIM WHY ALL HIS MONEY IS IN AN OFFSHORE ACCOUNT (PANAMA). WHY WE CAN'T TAX IT IN NIGERIA. Does he do any Business in Panama? He has Hero beer, Grand Malt, 2 Big Shopping mall, and he doesn't pay Tax.

He is a typical big Nigerian man that has cheated the Nigerian people, and we Youths are just directionless. Just think about what could have happened if Atiku won in 2019.

Like take a moment to breath in and imagine the scenario where obi has 17 million votes from around the country. Think of the implications of such a victory. Tell me that this country and Africa will not shake! Imagine the headlines!

IMAGINE THE HEADLINES!
That dream is exactly what motivates us and leads us to be very passionate in our defense and quick to take down the detractors of such dreams. They simply appear as enemies of progress. Surely you can make that distinction.

Yes, it will be a massive headline, that will be put out of proportion by we the Youth, because we rule the internet (mode of communication), and most of us support Peter Obi, but Obi is not the new World Order. He is of the Old order that we want to topple.

Good day

We humans are entities of chemistry. We react to things in one way or the other. An outburst from the boss in any kind of way can spark a good reaction from the players.

You can't be seeing Mourinho or Pep displaying on the touch line and you won't want your head to be correct as player.

Mourinho is fighting and arguing with the officials on the touchline, and shouting at the nearest player to him, there is no how you will want to compose and do thing urgently.

But when you are toooo calm (Though calm is good), it might bounce off your players in a not so convincing way. The play in the second half was way to sluggish and annoying.

If I had a coma for the past 6 years and I woke up today, I would have bet that Joao Felix was the player with most years at Chelsea.

I am NOT Tucheliban or Tuchel-sexual. Apart from Ancelloti, I have never been addicted to a manager, BUT THIS IS A MANAGER THAT KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS HIS ONIONS.

He knows. He understands. He relishes the challenge.

Yes, we are a building club at the moment, but players won't trust the process if they can't find results.

Datti and Sanwo-Olu today shaking hands. But you (wey these people no know your Papa, like Mr Okoye of blessed unknown memory) be keeping enemies all over the place, turn to a well known tribalist and become a Bigot, just because of these people wey no send your Papa.


With all the insults and fights on this thread and the social media at large, shey na Datti and Sanwo-Olu suppose dey shake, if no be sey we no get sense? Abi Datti no hear sey them injure him supporters today?

Who suppose first pour themselves gutter water if no be them? Abi them no know how all of una dey disgrace unaselves for social media?

I like the handshake.

Attacking people that are branded in Political clothe/any indicator is bad.

I trust President Buhari to beef up the security of Lagos. Was in Ibadan few days ago and I could hear Airforce personnel doing drills and testing planes for the coming elections.

The soldiers also came out in Eleyele and Ojo/Akobo just to do some training and drills. This must also be done in Lagos.

Attacking people for going to rallies is all sort of wrong. This is not a do or die affair. Nobody is more Nigerian than any Nigerian. Nobody is the sole owner of madness

And BTW, no matter the pictures that are circulating on the social media about the number of people that came out in TBS, the picture of the boy standing in front of Pitobi's car is the highlight of everything Nigerian. Grateful Loving Nigerians. And the guy is from my state. Pace setter state. (Saw an interview of the boy) Iconic Picture.

Leyqute:
Don’t. He doesn’t do well under pressure.

his first season in the PL was terrible although he was the highest scorer in the championship.

He’s good for teams like Brentford and Brighton or Fulham tho.

Ehn ehn. Alright na

How can they check this for 5 minutes, and 2 seconds for the PK claim.

Something as obvious as this for 5 minutes

Only Striker I want to purchase right now is Tooney. I am not good with strikers but I won't mind giving Tooney small chance

How you are going to convince me that a team that sold her legendary goalkeeper and Wesley Fofana and bought just 1 player with funds in the summer is better than your team that shopped all over Europe, is what I want to understand today.

Conte. Lowkey cheque manager. We won't hear anything because he no buy 100m player.

You are losing 3-1 at HT, you brought Davinson Sanchez for Tangaga in 76th minute. Wait, you don't want to concede another goal in the 76th minute? Lucas Moura was on the bench.

Even me sef wey wan become manager later in the future, knows an attacking sub is needed when a smaller team is playing against my team, and we are losing. After the 76th minute of bringing in Sanchez, them score am number 4 goal for 81st minute. comic relief.

We are not going back to Egypt insha Allah.

This Spurs. Collect from the rich, give to the poor just because they have 50% of possession. No where to counter very well.

This is what happens when Conte doesn't have the correct personnel to play his football. He doesn't improvise. Doesn't tweak. Everyday, na 3 for back. Start the match with that, finish the match with that.

Brought in 5 players that he paid for, them still chop am. This is the exact thing he did that 17/18 season.

Potter’s statement to the handball:

“That’s life”.

If I speak, I am in big trouble. There is 100% chance if it was against Chelsea, it would have been given. They checked an obvious offside for 5 minutes.

Potter came to the media and everything he could say is That's life.

VAR no even call ref. Offside, 10 mins check. PK, 2 seconds.

Who's this OP?

Let's just play well and win today.

I need small happiness this week.

Very sad news. They just have to pay the capital punishment.
Not to be incensitive, but bitcoin would have kept them alive.
