Why are we wasting tax payers money unnecessary. Why are we sending delegation to Vatican just to attend the Pope's burial?

Of what economy important would that delegation visit bring to Nigeria?

Some things like this are not making any sense

richmond500:
newspaper publication? Lolz, can we now see individual assessment of Obi's govt.
Why is it difficult to provide positive comments on Obi?

richmond500:
These are some positive comments about Obi, can we now see the ones he had when he was a governor?

richmond500:
Ofcos people keep saying Atiku and Tinubu are not electable options, so I decide to use some spare time to find out about Obi portfolio, so I can give him my vote in 2027 and possibly campaign for him, since we all agreed that Tinubu and Atiku are not options.

My criteria for judging Obi was simple, I decide to search for at least 5 positive comments when he was a governor.

After 3yrs of rigorously searching online, I didn't even find a single comment that talked good about Obi. infact I had to look at most of those that are trying to sell him to us as the messiah, but almost all of them never said anything positive about him. Even the wicked Wike, Akpabio, Tinubu, Atiku , El-Rufai, Seriake Dickson, Yahaya Bello etc had some positive comments, but our messiah had none.
I then concluded that searching for 5 comments is an impossible goal for me.

So I am bringing it to Nairaland, please if u have any positive comment about him, kindly drop it. No be to rush deh in.sult me as a defence mechanism

Well.... it will be hard.

Peter Obi focuses only in his region. The same mistake Buhari made.

Atiku is a northerner and this is the time for south.

There's no southern top politician that would come out to challenge Tinubu. Except Tinubu wants it that way.

Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong winning the election without opposition.

If any body thinks that obi can still repeat the figures he got in 2023 at 2027 that person is deceiving himself. What happened in 2023 elections was purely religious politics. I can bet with anything that 70% of christians irrespective of tribe and region that voted in 2023 elections voted for Obi while the Muslims votes were devided between Tinubu,Atiku and kwankwaso.I did not see that happening again in 2027 especially now that everybody understood that the Muslim Muslim ticket was just a tool used to win an election. I think the best thing for Obi is to merge with Atiku and contest together.

Obi can never ever defeat Tinubu if only 2 of them were in the ballot. I am very sure that even president Tinubu will be praying for both Obi nd Atiku to re contest separately in 2027. I repeat, strong merger is the only option left for the opposition if at all the stand a chance to win.

JASONjnr:
You shouldn't be tired going to foreign blogs to excavate bad publications/news about Nigeria to dump them on nairaland here.

You either post how IMF demotes Tinubu's economic policies or how World Bank is talking down on the country.

Be aware that Nigeria is bigger than anyone trying to align with the west.

If America isn't happy about Nigeria, let them go to hell.

Tinubu is probably not doing their bidding the same way they wanted GEJ to promote same sex marriage.

Nigeria isn't south Africa.

The Governor of a state has the right to block anybody he sees trying to play politics with the lives of his people, without no apologies.

.....challenges Ibas


The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, President, Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, retd., has been challenged to explain recent appointments of Local Government Sole administrators and others.

Atedo Peterside, President, ANAP Foundation and Founder, IBTC Bank, cautioned that the sole administrator has no right to come all the way from Cross River State to add fuel to fire already burning in Rivers State.

He accused Ibas of appointing riff raffs into offices of honour in Rivers, challenging him to tell Nigerians how he made choice his of appointments.

Peterside warned that Rivers people will not fold their hands and watch someone from another state destroy their resouces and inflame the situation.

He told Arise that the Sole Administrator either misread his brief or has no understanding of his role, adding that instead of coming to an inflamed situation to help achieve stability and healing, he might be inadvertently adding fuel to the fire.

“You see, in every situation, I always believe in giving people time to tell us who they are, what they’re about in effect, before you rush to judgment.

“When this Sole administrator was appointed, please check everywhere. I never made any comment about him, his competence, his integrity or anything. So what has changed?

“What has changed is that I think the Sole administrator either misread his brief or he has no understanding of what his role is.

“And instead of coming to an inflamed situation with a view to helping to achieve stability and healing, he might be inadvertently adding fuel to the fire.

“A given basis, he’s made some appointments. First of all, he emerged in an irregular manner. I would say the executive were misguided. So he’s a product of the executive being misguided legally, and then the legislator will be introducing rascality to use a voice vote to confirm his appointment.

“That, we all know, a voice vote does not make any sense. It can never prove two thirds, because even in the house of Reps, we don’t even know how many people were in the room. I saw the TV pictures.

“So here is the man who came in, knows he’s on shifty ground, on shifty ground, and what has he done? You know, they say, make some appointments, and I’ll tell you who you are. He’s made some appointments, even the Rivers State Electoral Commission. He went in there, removed people, made appointments. He then also went to all the LGs, appointed, Sole administrators.

“So, a man who himself probably has had no proper mandate in a serious country with a serious legal system now decides to add insult upon injury. Instead of simply leaving local governments in the hands of the most senior, full-time staff and even reading them the riot act, to do the correct thing, he now goes to superimpose people.

“I challenge him to tell the nation through what process he chose those he appointed. Through what process did he make the appointment? Did he advertise the positions? Did he call for nominations? Did he search Rivers State for the most competent, skilled persons of high integrity?

“Like I’ve already said, we know ourselves in Rivers State, you make many appointments from the people you’ve chosen. I can tell you who you are with due respect for the people he appointed, in my personal opinion, they are riff raffs.

“So a man leaves Cross River State comes to Rivers State in an inflamed situation. I challenge him to tell the nation what process he used in making the appointments.

“Did he choose people that he knew personally when he was in the Navy? Who did he ask for nominations? When did he produce some of these riff raffs from?

“You’ve got an electoral commission, and you bring in some people that you chose through the method that you can’t explain?

“Please, I challenge him to explain how he chose those persons. So do you want us to accept the elections conducted by some of those people that he chose when we don’t even know how they are mixed?

“And I think that is disrespectful to the people of River State. He should be called to order immediately.

“There should be no mistake whatsoever that we will sit down forever and accept persons being appointed to lord over our state and our resources,” he said

Immaterial is u not understanding politics between South and North. If anoda man from d South doesn't finish d 4 years, den let tinubu continue, he is not doing a bad job. Besides Atiku or anyone d north will bring out is not better. If south bring out OBI, d north will neva vote him, because d can't be out of power for 12years. Just 2 years dey have not tasted power, see dem crying. Anyhow u see it, BAT is going to Win.
