Good for him

Make no mistake about it. I like Kwankwaso but his rhetoric lately exudes nothing shut of arrogance.

On channels TV you said "2023 is South East Chance of playing at the federal level"

Really. I have watched a video interview you granted sitting down. You said Igbos are very good in business but at the bottom when it comes to politics.

He shot himself with that statement.

Abduminmin also granted interview at channels and said NNPP is Igbos last chance at the presidency that Peter Obi should join you.

If Peter can't win election, of all the people in South East contesting why are you after Peter. There are 3 other Igbos in the race. Why not go after them.

You even said Peter's support base is on social media but that you are infantry.

You said Northerners won't vote anyone if you are not on the front burner of the ballot.

Those who doubt peter should keep breathing.

By the time campaign starts. We will see the true love Nigerians have for Obi and their unquenchable desire to rescue Nigeria.

INEC will count votes not structure. People will vote and defend their vote.

The new electoral law albeit makes it very difficult to rig as results will be transmitted electronically.

Peter doesn't need to win all the states. He needs some states and all hands are on deck to get that done.

Kwankwaso and Atiku will share the Northern Vote. Tinubu and Obi will make an intoad into Northern votes.

2023 will be interesting.

Can I remind all those who doubt Peter that INEC has over 95million registered voters.

Total number of voters since 1999 has never exceeded 40 million. There is another 50 million that as never come out to vote and might come out for the first time to vote. That will be the shocker.

Peter will win.

The demographics favour him.

All attempts to pull him down has not worked.

Can anyone find his secondary school sex tape. That might work for those looking for Peter's fall.

ottersberger:
The topic regulates.

Seun finally woke up. He accused his super-mods of sleaze, and boom, Nairaland is currently calm and it appears a semblance of civility crawled back in.

Is it me, or is anyone else seeing what I see?.

Sanity will return.

Seun is a smart business man.

He knows election will come and go and the politicians no send am.

All he wants is traffic and make his money.

He will expunged MODS who can't control their political leanings

I support Biafra land!

Try harder Ola.

This game of Biafra is not working any more.

look for Peter Obi sextape.

That might work

Ok

juman:
He should pick a christian as running mate to counter apc.
Let see.

Try harder in foolishness

Ok

This might not make it to Front page because it doesn't serve the evil narrative against Peter.

Peter's campaign reminds me of Buhari in 2014. Nothing people didn't say to stop Buhari.

The more they criticized him and pulled up his past the more his followership kept growing.

Kwankwaso is leaving in denial.

He wants to use Obi to win election and ditch him in 2028. Nonse.

Kwankwaso arrogates importance he doesn't have.

When Kwankwaso was in PDP, how many votes did PDP get in Kano. Leave matter. Voters will decide.

Let Nigerians decide who leads them next year.

Who is this inconsequential ignorant fellow.

Case will follow the standard UK process. Nobody is expecting UK to treat Ekweremadu differently.

He will hire best of lawyers. Government will come with their lawyers.

Judge will hear both sides and decide.

UK is not your Nigerian court. They deal with evidence

Guys, May God give you resources to travel a little.

Visit Europe, America and parts of Asia.

What we do in Nigeria is not banking.

We do buying and selling and call it banking.

Have you ever called a bank to complain in Nigeria and after they listened to you, they offered you compensation for inconvenience.

Its normal in Western world.

I called Barclays bank twice. Third one they kept me waiting for 40mins on queue. When they finally picked I said I am distressed.

That I transferred money to my savings to pay rent and they have delayed it and all attempts to reach them had failed 3 times.

These guys fixed it and gave me 70 pounds for inconvenience.

This is rare, but do you know that in western world, if you use ATM and it doesn't dispense cash. And you are 100 percent sure you have cash. The bank is obligated to apologise and pay you money for the inconvenience. You can't lie because their system will show you tried withdrawal and system failed you.

We are a 1000 years behind the world and when we say, do away with ancestors that have kept us here some said it's their turn.

I get it, it's your turn, your right. Get a young blood who is savvy. No. They must die there.

Nigerians wake up. Suffering no dey tire una.

Someone with no job in the last 8 years is campaigning for APC

This might sound funny but I would have loved to know who these Business owners voted since 2015 to date.....or their views on critical national issues.

You know, some of you, when we talk and shout about some of these vexed issues....you stay aside, talking n.onsense political correctness BS.....if you are not careful, in your lifetime, you will turn a slave in your once fatherland.

Hehehehe....FCT minister is in a hurry to activate Abuja's Sharia status.

you can keep bleating that Muslim-muslim ticket means nothing. Na small small una go understand things.

Myopic clowns.....

ok

If Tinubu makes the mistake of picking HellRufai.

He will overthrow him in less than a year if he wins. That guy is a snake

Tinubu is surrounded by wolves.

he can't please all of them and some will mess him up.

someone like Elrufai is desperate. That's why he arranged a kangaroo endorsement for himself in Kaduna yesterday in the name of TOS.

Unfortunately, Tinubu wont be foolish to pick Hellrufai

You people should check on Reno Omocry.

This is not good for his heart

The reason El-Rufai is evil is that this serves his purpose and it's right.

Just flip the coin and have a Christian Christian ticket in Kaduna. El-rufai and his kwasiokor looking children will lead the war.

He that must come with equity must come with clean hands

Reno is simply the younger brother of Femi Fani Kayode.

Anywhere belle face. He claims he is a loyalist. Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal and a few others conspired to humiliate his principal GEJ in 2015 election.

Today Reno is singing their praises as the messiah that can save Nigeria. What dies that tell you about his loyalty and personality.

Reno is mischievously evil and GEJ knows it.

He should be careful with him.

Atiku will use his noise to probably get to power and make him a distant aide to silent the loose canon

Charles, Ikechukwu onyia and David Hundeyin are ready for Reno, Segalink and every madafaka in this election campaign. I will be bringing the wawulence to Nairaland.

My duty is to drive traffic here till Seun starts paying trending topic creators

I have always maintained that apart from conspiracy from both local and foreign scene against president Goodluck Jonathan another major reason the Otueke-born Zoologist lost his 2015 presidential re-election bid was not unconnected with the fact that he had one of the most criminally inept and fantastically clueless media aides who were more endowed in tongue than they were in that area meant to house the grey matter known as the brain.

Reno Omokri 's recent tirade against Ndigbo confirms this.

An Igbo man and the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, reportedly granted an interview in 2014 where he said that Jonathan was weak and incompetent as president and the best way Reno Omokri who was GEJ's social media advisor could think to couter the assertion in 2017 was to start hauling invectives at the entire Igbos and listing individual appointments Jonathan gave to them.

In 21st century 2017, a supposed intellectual is listing individual appointments as achievements and even trying to use same to counter the argument that his ex boss was incompetent while in office.

He couldn't mention one monument erected by his boss. He couldn't mention road network or any health or academic centre built for Ndigbo by his boss. All he could point to was individual appointments.

This is a walking shame!

Quite frankly, I should simply pause here and die laughing.... Laughing at a m£ntally truncated media aide who doesn't know that the best way to counter allegation of incompetence against his boss is by listing infrastructural facilities and other solid achievements built by this boss of his, not by naming individuals who were appointed into govt positions by him.

With this kind of m£ntal miscarriage from Reno Omokri, do we still wonder why the APC propaganda machinery effortlessly swallowed Jonathan's media team and successfully painted him as a president who did nothing all through the 5 years he was in office?

If Mr Omokri cannot marshall out facts and figures to counter a mere allegation of weakness and incompetence levelled against his boss by an individual, how could anyone expect him to have any reasonable response to the web of earthquakic lies and brain-resetting propaganda mounted against Jonathan by the very powerful APC lying machine??

Poor Jonathan! He thought he had a media aide in Reno. How wrong he was!

The tragedy of Reno's situation is that he does not even realise that his failure to list Jonathan's achievements leaves observers with the conclusion that indeed, Jonathan did nothing for Ndigbo.

In this case, who really insulted Jonathan? Is it a private citizen who said his ex president was weak and incompetent, the same thing that has been said by Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark etc or a former media aide to this president who resorted to hauling invectives at everyone rather than listing the achievements of this president to counter this assertion

In an article titled, "THE LESSON NDIGBO TAUGHT JONATHAN AND FUTURE LEADERS", Omokri stated that Igbos lost the 1967-70 Biafra because they knew nothing about diplomacy which left them without much friends to help them during those trying time. According to him, the fact that no Igbo leader has come out to attack Kanu over the said interview suggests that Kanu's position represents the views of the entire Ndigbo about Jonathan. This, he says, means that the Igbos are ungrateful bunch. In that same article, Mr Omokri categorically stated that Jonathan was the first president to give Igbos the position of Chief of army staff and Secretary to the govt of the federation and as such, Ndigbo should be eternally grateful to him.

As a full blooded Igbo man, I find this criminally offensive. This is a double barreled insult to Ndigbo because 1, what was said is a grave misrepresentation of fact. And 2, because Mr Omokri is the least qualified person to say those things, having himself been implicated in a case of identity theft in Feb. 2014 when he stole the identity of the son to the wife of his brother-in-law, one U.S based Wendell Simlin, to write an article linking the spike in boko haram bombing to the suspension of the then CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. (A quick Google search will give you the detail)

What moral right does a spineless faceless identity thief have to talk to Ndigbo? If he was man enough, why did he resort to hiding behind a fake identity just to make a mere accusation?

Let's treat the no1:

Igbos owe Jonathan nothing! Absolutely nothing. It is Jonathan who owe Ndigbo everything. We made him!

When the bunch of political terr0rists known as the Cabal, prevented the gentleman Jonathan from taking over from the good man, Yar'Adua of the blessed memory, it was an Igbo woman, the late Dora Akunyili, who publicly confronted the Cabal and told all Nigerians that Yar'Adua was incapacitated. Her revelation gave birth to the doctrine of necessity which brought Jonathan to power. Without Akunyili, Yaradua would probably still be running the country by now even from the grave while Jonathan would be sitting quietly the exact way Mr Muhammadu Buhari is currently running Nigeria from the land of the WhiteWalkers with Osinbajo sitting quietly like an Arsenal fan when his club is facing a 5-0 defeat in the hands of ManU.

We gave Jonathan everything we had in 2011. We even died for him in the North in large numbers. Our support for him was 100%. Even when Jonathan bashing became the order of the day sometime last year, Ndigbo rose to the occasion and defended him even against some of his own people.

In 11th August 2016, I Charles Ogbu, wrote a fact-studded piece titled "IN DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN" published in the Guardian Newspaper which attracted a rejoinder from the presidency titled "IN DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT BUHARI, IS THIS THE CHANGE WE VOTED FOR? YES, IT IS" written by president Buhari's senior media aide, Garba Shehu to which I again responded with "IN DEFENCE OF THE MASSES, THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CHANGE WE VOTED FOR".

When I was doing this verbal gymnastics with the highest office in the land over a Jonathan whom I have never met, where was Reno Omokri then? He was hiding somewhere in the U.S, too afraid to write anything in Jonathan's defence. Now that the monumental disaster, Buhari, has been declared incapacitated, Reno is running his mouth. How convenient!

Our support for Jonathan was driven by a sense of justice, fairness and equity coupled with the fact that his opponent has always been a hopeless murder0us ethnic jingoist with generational hatr£d for Ndigbo.

Why should we now sit back and allow an integrity-challenged Reno Omokri a.k.a Wendell Simlin disparage us for no just cause??

Why did Omokri not denigrate the entire Fulanis when Nasir El-Rufai and numberless Fulanis made sport of demonizing Jonathan at every turn?

Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark, Seriake Dickson have all described Jonathan as weak, yet, Omokri neither attacked those people nor their ethnic groups. Why?

Why does he now think he can attack the whole Igbo race simply because one Igbo man purpotedly chose to criticise his ex president?

Saying that a former president was weak and incompetent, is that an insult?

Frankly, I don't get this! Is Reno such a bad user of the Queen's language that he no longer understand that "weak" and "incompetence" are but mere adjectives naming an attribute of a noun?

So far, Goodluck Jonathan remains the best president Nigeria ever had. His worst remains better than the best of Buhari. Is this even debatable? He was and still is, a perfect gentleman. Matter of fact, I belong to the school of thought which believes that Nigeria was and still is, too primitive for people like Jonathan to preside over.

But was he weak as president??

Keep sentiment at home let's find out the answer.

Several months before 2015 election, Jonathan was presented with credible evidence of the treacherous ways of Attahiru Jega, the man he appointed INEC boss but he did nothing! He chose to allow JEGA continue as INEC boss because he felt he (GEJ) couldn't withstand the pressure JEGA's sack would bring him.

That was weakness! Jonathan's failure to sack Jega was the height of weakness on his part.

#ChibokGirlsSaga remains unresolved till today mainly because Jonathan bowed to foreign pressure and admitted it happened and by the REAL Boko Haram even after his govt had earlier dismissed it as a scam. If GEJ hadn't bowed to pressure, he would have simply arrested that woman Principal of
Chibok school and within hours of questioning, she would have spilled the beans.

GEJ showed weakness by allowing many people including Buhari to undermine his govt.

Are we really gonna waste our time arguing this obvious fact?

Now, let's visit the dictionary:

The term "Weak" is an adjective and it means "liable to break or yield under pressure" among other meanings.

So I ask again, was Jonathan weak as president? In the Nigerian context, the answer is YES! Refer to the above instances I just listed out.

What then is the problem here?

Even if we lie to ourselves, how can we descend to the level of believing our own lies as the gospel truth?

My father, the late Emmanuel Nwodo Ogbu Nwachima, once allowed my uncle to take possession of our piece of land on the ground that he didn't want to make trouble with his brother. To me, that was him being a peaceful man but it also portrayed him as weak.

I remember my father as a good man but each time I see my uncle's children on that land, I think my dad weak. Context is of utmost importance here.

May I remind Reno Omokri that before Jonathan, two Igbo sons, Alex Ekwueme and Ebitu Ukiwe have held the position of both civilian and military vice presidents respectively. Allison Madueke has equally held a very high position in the military. So why should we be grateful for getting individual appointments of army chief and SGF even after paying with our blood in the North and are still being victimized by the present govt over our support for Jonathan?

Reno was overrated and Jonathan paid dearly for it. Seeing him romancing with those who conspired and threw Jonathan out of power today and even campaigning for them makes me wonder if Reno was not actually working for Atiku against Jonathan way back in 2014.

Reno Omokri and co need to realise that those who live in glass houses should be wise enough not to start throwing stones around.

As far as Jonathan is concerned, what Ndigbo deserve from Reno and Co is gratitude, not attitude.

The rise of Obi is frightening but they try so hard to play it down.

Did anyone see what happened in Edo today for Obi.

If they tell you Obi has no chance remind them that INEC will count votes. It's one man one vote

THE BURDEN OF PROOF

Fellow OBIdients, as this campaign season heats up, please expect a lot of fake news to be spread against Peter Obi and his supporters.

This is expected because Obi is the front runner and the candidate to beat.

And in politics, if you are behind, the way to try and catch up with the front runner is via negative attacks - try to make the person look bad before the people so you can try and peal off his supporters.

Peter Obi is CLEARLY ahead going into 2023 elections and EVERYONE knows this.

So please expect APC and PDP people to keep lobbing negative attacks against Obi.

But when they do this, remember that the burden of proof of ANY accusation (e.g. Obi is a liar) lies with the one making the accusation!

It is not your job to prove that Obi is not a liar! It is their job to prove that he is! And after they have provided proper evidence supporting their claim, you can then provide counter evidence showing they are wrong.

Do not allow them put you on the defense and ask you to prove an allegation that they made such as to prove that “Obi is NOT a liar” or “Obi is NOT IPOB” or that the “North does not distrust Obi”. It is logical fallacy called “proving a negative”. It is impossible to prove that something does not exist because you will have to have knowledge of everything to know that something does not exist.

So whenever they say “Obi lied about so and so” or “Anambra IGR did not grow under Obi” - do not waste your time bringing up evidence trying to convince them that Obi did not lie. Instead ask them to prove it - let them show evidence of the lie!

They will tell you “go to Google and search”.

Respond with “No sir - you made the allegation, you go to Google and get the evidence and come and show me! And until you do so - this is FAKE NEWS and I do not respond to fake news”

If someone makes a claim, the burden to prove that the claim is true lies with them! It is not your job to prove that the claim is not true - until you have been provided evidence to back up the claim.

Stay OBIdient.

Happy birthday sir.

May he live to see a new Nigeria as Peter Obi set the part.

Igbo ne me ihe sirike

Obi is not popular in the North

Know that and have peace of mind

Oga, Kwankwaso and Tinubu are not known in my village too. Be calming down. My grandmother votes. If I mention Kwankwaso or Tinubu she has no clue.

Calm down. Campaign will reach every where and Nigerians will decide

Ok
