PoliticsCitizens Not Politicians Are Nigeria's Problem by callthefred(op): 9:03pm On Oct 17, 2025
The situation of Nigeria today is very scary and alarming. This is a country with promise and prospects but someone we seem to be getting worse.

The average Nigerian is an educated illiterate. We are emotional and never use logic.

It's hard but we surely must not give up because no nation of the world is as unique as Nigeria. An average Nigerian is a jolly good fellow and values life but our carelessness in indulging politicians have created problems for the people.

For long, government makes money from oil so citizens really weren't worried. I hope this new tax system that will take money from people by force will make us sit up and asks questions.

For whatever reasons, Nigerians are majorly hypocrites when it comes to matters of governance. Imagine some claiming Tinubu is best after jollof rice whereas some will claim Obi is even better than Jollof rice..we are even so terrible some celebrate a mediocre governor Otti.

Our politicians claim subsidies are bad because IMF says so but all countries of Europe today subsidies at least over $10b of either green energy or health care or something else.

A country like Nigeria only subsidies $25b for over 200m people and our leaders used that excuse to kill the nations middle class.

Peter Obi that was a below par governor even far lower than Fashola or Ambode in performance suddenly became a messiah and some people because of tribal bigotry suddenly made yorubas enemies.

Whether, Hausa Obi or Yoruba is President, these guys don't care about us but we somehow decide to praise one when it suits our hypocrisy.

The moment, we can realize it us versus them, but guess what, everyone is just waiting for their own candidates to get into office. When you imagine all negative comments people made about these candidates in the past and those same people.suddenly change stance for perks or relationship, you will understand the dangers that lies ahead.

Imagine coastal road of 21b per KM. Yet some still find excuses to support that amount. I totally support the project because it's visionary but certainly not in support of the inflated figures. I can bet the figures were tripled at the least.

Then there was Obi who just invested state's funds in banks he has interests and till date no one knows where interest on those funds went knowing that in any fixed deposits, interests are paid before hand. Atiku even comes worse.

The you begin to wonder where is this so called education and exposure Nigerians claim to have. It's not compulsory to support candidate because you hate another person but use your brain.

May Nigeria succeed!
PoliticsRe: Otti Replies Benjamin Kalu: Those Planning To Rig Should First Write Their Will by callthefred: 12:50pm On Oct 17, 2025
From all comments not a single Obidient cautioning Otti for this careless statement. Agreed no one should ever be allowed to rig but such careless and stupid statement from a governor and no mob member has enough functional brain to understand this is how call to anarchy starts but if na Oluomo talk this now una dick go stand like horse own. Continue raising another set of warlord. The SE never burn reach.

Still baffles me how Obidients want to force Otti on us because he commissioned some 12 roads less than 20km months ago. The same Otti who built schools that looked like poultry for 500m and called them smart schools. Obidients are shameless.

All the developments, revenues brought to Enugu state within the last 2-3 years, shey na party bring am? Abi does Peter Mbah stops being Peter Mbah now that he switched to the APC?

Abi Obidents no dey always talk say they will follow Peter Obi wherever he goes? They also always say that they voted Obi in 2023 and not LP. Why does Obi gets a free pass for jumping party anyhow and you want to crucify other politicians for doing so? WHY?!

In the SE, LP and Otti are the most beloved because of his affiliation with Obi but Otti hasn't done for Abia 10% of what Peter Mbah has done for Enugu. Make una dey reason now!

Na Peter Mbah Enugu citizens voted for in 2023; not PDP and it won't be APC in 2027 - it will be Mbah, deservingly, because of his solid works.
It is called hypocrisy. Most of them can't think for themselves.
BusinessRe: Shell Invests $2 Billion In New Offshore Gas Project In Nigeria by callthefred: 2:20pm On Oct 14, 2025
Lanruze:
This new investment is a birth of the PIA initiated by President Muhammed Buhari.

The credit goes to late PMB and not PBAT.

The unbundling of roles, responsibilities and tasks of the Upstream (Exploration), Midstream (Refining) and Downstream (Distribution) has made investments more attractive in the Upstream sector.

Shell had announced this investment since last year with a total of $5B but has just concluded the first tranche of the $2B. This investment has been captured as an FDI inflow since last year.

Them go whine you (Propagandist) but please no panic.
May I ask when did you start following news? PIB was never initiated by Buhari. It was under GEJ but Buhari got is passed to law. So don't make it look like the others before Buhari did nothing. All these Gen Z people.

All of you would be analysing elections like you've been around a while. Nigeria did this since 2007. It was even a plate of rice taken as picture. Go and investigate the Ondo elections that Mimiko had to win in court. Cameroon doing in 2025 what we did in 2007.
PoliticsRe: Obi To INEC: "Verify Candidates Certificates Before 2027" by callthefred: 7:37pm On Oct 09, 2025
This is wrong from Peter Obi, it's political parties that should be responsible for this not inec as they are the ones who sponsor candidates and also the DSS and senate during screening for appointees. The law is clear. Sometimes Obi just wants to talk and ends of showing that he probably doesn't know the law.

He himself also claims to be a graduate from University but last election he only submitted Olevel results. Clearly now University graduate will submit Olevel results unless something is missing.

Same is applicable to Enugu state which have Idoma/Igala communities in Nsukka zone of the state.
Anambra Govt radio stations and TV have Igala language program times, Igbos don't suppress people but always ready to tap from your areas of strength to improve themselves.
Some of the popular masquerades in Igbo land were copied from Igala and Efik cultures
I smell guilt because who asked you for explanation.

EducationRe: FG Reintroduces Nigerian History As Compulsory Subject In Schools by callthefred: 12:10pm On Sep 18, 2025
Foolish Obidients and the mob with their delusional partners won't appreciate this. To imagine I never knew about the Sokoto jihad until I left university shows how terrible those behind these scams were. They even lied to us that Lamurudu was from Mecca. Apparently, no one bears that man but the scam was sponsored by the Sokoto caliphate to make yorubas feel like they have any connections to Arab and Islam. History is essential. Never knew Oyo Alafin are even tenants. I fully support this.

Imagine majority of Oyo muslims are even from Mali and Niger but will be quick to downplay Yoruba tradition for islam.

Most important thing here is that the declaration brought peace. But trust opposition and Obidients, they wanted to see Rivers burn so the whole nation can be like Bangladesh and Nepal. I may not support many of Tinubu's policies. But that declaration was leadership and boldness. Something Obi and Atiku have never proven to have or understand. To God be the glory. Sim can now resume and work with lawmakers. Make everyone dey their dey now.

PoliticsRe: PDP Governors, Wike's Loyalists clash Over Chairmanship, Secretary zonal slots by callthefred: 1:46pm On Sep 07, 2025
Comments here are reasons why I can see why Obidients and their mob keeps failing. Wike here is fighting on all fonts so that at the end of the day, some positions will be conceded to him. PDP wouldn't want to loose the governorship in Rivers in 2027 and that's why they seriously need a Wike.

Besides that, in PDP money bags often run the show and they allow for self conscious decision unlike APC that everything must be what the leaders want. Even Seyi Makinde cannot muscle out Wike that is why he is taking serious loans and bogus inflated projects. Wike will take half and others will share the remaining. That's the fact.

Alot of people hate Wike because of his open support for Tinubu but everything Wike fights for in PDP is just fairness. They will negotiate and still give him what he wants. That's how politics works. When Tinubu blasted Buhari then, many idiots said it was over for Tinubu, didn't the party later give him what he wants?.

Not when he asked people to defend themselves, when they reported soldiers are shooting and killing them.


And where did Kanu nominated ekpa as his successor?


I will be waiting for you to show me the two, especially your last claim.
But when Kanu said Kill Tinubu, I guess Tinubu attacked him also abi? Or when he was saying they should burn down Lagos, I bet Lagos also attacked him right?

You all think we are fools that we have amnesia and that's why it's easy for Atiku, Obi, El Rufai and Amaechi to be playing ludo with all your brains and emotions. Tuah!!!

I'm glad Ipob made sure the zoo agent of provocateur go down.
I remember Simon ekpa boosting to be the end of IPOB 😂😂🤣🤣


The criminal killed so many Biafrans and did everything to paint ipob as violent group before international communities, but thank God he failed.


IPOB members can even gather in front of Finland court without any harassment or arrest,all thanks to ipob leadership (DOS)



Zoo government have used and dumped the ekuke 😂😂🤣
Soon his boy called called gentle yahoo will go down.

When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu says serve the zoo and come back in shame, Simon ekpa think it just a merely words.

About four years ago I warned him against working for zoo government against Ipob and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu indirectly,he insulted me and blocked me boosting how he will be the end of Ipob.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu


God bless ipob leadership.

God bless all lovers of freedom.





Once again God bless ipob leadership
Isn't IPOB violent? Didn't MNK openly on radio ask his mob to kill soldiers and kill Tinubu? How can you have a brain and not use it rationally. How does anyone find an excuse for Kanu after all that nonsense he did.

Yes Buhari also messed up by trying to kill him extrajudicial way but doesn't in any way absolve Kanu of the many inciting statements he used his radio Biafra to propagate. I support him on ESN because right to life is basic human right but asking people to kill soldiers no matter the excuses can never be justifiable. After all Kanu nominated Ekpa to be his successor if anything happens.

PoliticsRe: Obi’s Litigious Reflexes Vs Adeyanju’s Burden Of Truth - Farooq Kperogi by callthefred: 8:47am On Sep 01, 2025
franchasofficia:
Can you listen to yourself at all?


Do you know the definition of bribe?

Was Obi being prosecuted for any crime and Deji Adeyanju as the Judge or Prosecutor that Peter Obi met and offered him bribe to twist the case in his favor so he can be free to warrant you ignorant people and Deji Adeyanju talking rubbish about being offered a bribe? So you know what is called bribe?

Was Deji Adeyanju occupying any government position prosecuting Peter Obi for a crime or offense that Obi should bribe him to be free?


Was Peter Obi under any government investigation which was being handled by Deji Adeyanju that Peter Obi had to meet him and offer him bribe to change the truth? Honestly I used to think most of you from that side were educated but Tinubu's politics and regime is exposing you all as people that lack understanding, it's really a shame.


Deji Adeyanju is guilty and ought to be slammed with a jail term or heavy fine for character defamation if Nigeria was a working nation with working judiciary, it's as simple as that. He is screaming take me to court because he knows that Nigeria's judiciary is not working and he is working for the ruling party that controls the current Nigerian judiciary if not Deji Adeyanju will be in a big soup by now and he knows it
If that's the case then you Obidients are dull for always attributing corruption to Tinubu when he has never also been prosecuted for any fraud. If that's how you want to put it then you have no moral grounds to ever accuse Tinubu or Buhari of being corrupt since they were never charged for looting public funds.

What moral ground does Obi have to withdraw 250m cash?. Does that make any sense to you? Where is the accountability in that?. This is public funds and Obi is the only governor till date since 1999 who claimed a contractor wanted cash. That contract till date was never disclosed because there's none.

Obi is a fraud just like the others you lots want to crucify. They are just better at the game than your imaginary saint.

Obidients and Atiku are those who messed Fubara up. Bunch of terrible selfish leaders. They only care about themselves. They led Fubara on and discarded him when it mattered most.

You can imagine how Wike fought to ensure his boys return to loot the state, that's some leadership. Wike doesn't need those council funds but he knows what it means for your boys to be happy and they will die for you anytime anyday. Fubara was misled. Even Fubara alone tried but immediately he allowed Obi and Obidients and Atiku to put mouth for his case, he lost his guard.

Simi na man you be no doubt.
PoliticsRe: Obi’s Litigious Reflexes Vs Adeyanju’s Burden Of Truth - Farooq Kperogi by callthefred: 9:06am On Aug 31, 2025

If Peter Obi sues Deji Adeyanju nothing will come out of it because Nigeria's judiciary is already compromised and a branch of the Presidency whom Deji Adeyanju is now working for indirectly. They will extort the situation and at the end throw the case into the dustbin.


Whereas if Nigeria was a working nation with working and neutral judiciary, Deji Adeyanju will definitely be found guilty of two to three counts of character defamation and I will point them out.


1, Deji Adeyanju lied against Peter Obi by saying that Peter Obi offered him bribe and he rejected it.

Aisha Yesufu did raised a post asking Deji to come forward with explanation of how Peter Obi gave him bribe but Deji Adeyanju is now backtracking and soft pedaling by saying Obi tried to give him an envelope as a thank you for coming, in a real nation with working legal system, Deji Adeyanju is already guilty of count one.


2, Deji Adeyanju called Peter Obi a fraud, he must present verifiable evidence to prove this not some hearsay publications.

The 250million cash found with Peter Obi's aide when he was Anambra Governor is laughable, so if a Governor wants to loot money, it is 250million naira he would loot when Ibori looted over $200million? It's laughable lol. Okay let's even assume he wanted to steal 200million Naira from Anambra state as Governor.


As at that time, Anambra's State Assembly was controlled by opposition party PDP, they even set up a committee to indict Peter Obi on this case, the committee did a thorough investigation with Nigerian Police, EFCC, etc and at the end they released an official statement that no fraud was committed that it was truly money meant for a contractor. This is on national dailies, Google it and read.


As for the Pandora papers. Peter Obi owned a private business in the UK that made him billions via Next companies he owned while he lived in UK. So when Peter Obi wanted to join Nigerian politics, Obi shutdown Next, gathered the money and set up a foreign account in a tax free nation also known as Tax haven and used his children to invest the money in the tax haven so that the money won't be reducing yearly through heavy taxation, Peter Obi has no single stake in the money anymore. So Peter Obi transferred the wealth he made in UK to his daughter and had no more stake in it.


So he came back and joined Naija politics and later became Governor.


Nigerian constitution demands that someone contesting for Governor, President, etc declare their assets, Obi declared the assets in his name, our law does not compel you to declare assets owned by your children or one jointly owned. Even at that, Tinubu have never declared his asset, Buhari did his partially, many Governors and Presidents refuse but Pete Obi declared his personally owned assets except this very money he invested in a foreign country through his kids which is more like he has now transferred the wealth to his children before joining politics. So there is no wrongdoing here, no legal system can find you guilty of tax evasion on this because the wealth has been transferred.


On the issue of investing Anambra money in International Breweries, a South-Africa and British owned brewery Obi pleaded to come to Anambra to invest and they gave him conditions and he told them no, that instead of him investing, it should be Anambra state the state they are coming to invest.


Where is the issue?

That Obi owned some shares with SabMiller, a sub-group of International Breweries? A share he bought many years ago before he became Anambra Governor?


Una no well.


Peter Obi should leave you guys to continue to enjoy your failed and corrupt leaders abeg, Nigeria is clearly irredeemable, simple!
Talking rubbish with so much confidence.

So offering financial reward or incentive is not to entice someone right? Abi when Ibori stole $20m he stole it at once? That Obi was caught with only 250m doesn't mean that's all he stole. That was just what was caught. He traveled abroad immediately remember? Which can only mean he brought the cash to Lagos to change to dollars and travel abroad with it. Your defense are flawed.
